I have not listened to this album since the 70's.

In college we would use this album to show off our stereo in our dorm room.

Humble Pie, Rockin the Fillmore, 1971.

A friend recently gave me a gift certificate to Amazon and I purchased the CD and played it very loud on my Rectilinear highboy speakers.

This album still rocks, big time. A great, live album that captures the best of live, early 70's rock.

When wifey leaves the house, the family room is rocking with Humble Pie. :banana:

Cheers, Snade

I played that last month, that truly is a great album from a great group.

Rockin' The Fillmore, 1971 is one of my favorite albums, live or studio, by any band ever. I loved Steven Marriott -- his voice, his stage manner, hell, I even admired his approach to rhythm guitar work. Dude played an Epiphone solid-body and he could make that sucker bark. And Frampton, he would never play better than he did on those nights. It is quite sad that Steven Marriott died in such a tragic and horrible manner.

Have to agree. A great live album.

How did Steve die?

How did Steve die?

Marriott died on April 20, 1991 when a fire thought to have been caused by a cigarette swept through his home in Arkesden, Essex. He was 44.

Cool...landed a halfway decent vinyl copy of Rock On (http://wm03.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:hifexq85ldse) last weekend, and now I can't wait to spin it. Saw a later incarnation of the band in the early 80s supporting some arena act; the fact that I remember them more than the headliner speaks for itself.

...Thirty Days In The Hole...:D

I remember seeing Humble Pie in concert in the 70's. I don't know if it was
part of the act or not, but during I Don't Need No Doctor, the power went out.
Steve belted out the rest of the song, and everyone in Asbury Park Convention
Hall heard him with no problem. Great show! Now I have to get that album,
first chance I get.

Great to see this thread! I picked up a pristine copy of Rockin' the Fillmore from the bargain bins at a record collectors show last weekend. It's still in the unplayed pile and I don't believe I've ever heard it so it's time to give it a spin. :music:

My God, I have this and FORGOT that I had it! I'll give my Optimus's a Humble workout soon and report back.

Uh huh, a wee man with a big voice who screamed like a banshee. We do miss him.

I saw Humble Pie live in 1971. Great show. I haven't heard this album in a few decades though.

A live CD you might like is King Biscuit Flower Hour Presents Humble Pie. Recorded in 1973 at San Francisco Winterland Theatre, Frampton had left the band and the very capable Dave "Clem" Clemson played guitar with Marriott. Another CD to be played loudly!

Everybody should have a copy of that.
"Thirty Days in the Hole" is a monster; everybody knows that intro....
black Nepalese got you weak in the knees......:D

"Rockin' the Fillmore" is good too, "I Don't Need No Doctor" is a great lease breaker.

You know, Cindy's not home right now.............

I had heard he fell asleep while smoking said cigarette.:nono:

And a cursed triumvirate was complete.

IIRC, Johnny Thunders had died the same week as Steve. And, both Marriott and Phil Lynott had played on Thunders, 'So Alone' LP, in 1979.
