C'mon Everybody - Humble Pie

[Dan R]

Written by the great Eddie Cochran. Humble Pie did this with intensity. Steve Marriot, Ridley, Shirley and Clempson were a fine band. My youth was spent enjoying Humble Pie and so many others of the day. These cats rock hard and on time. IMO they had their stage act together.

Two Les Pauls kicking a@@. It's all dinosaur rock now, but the Pie could deliver in the day.

They were an excellent band. Myself .... I preferred the earlier Frampton era vs. the later Clempson era but I do think the Clempson era took them in a much heavier direction. '60s vs. '70s. In the long run they just became Steve Marriott + whoever.

Just finished Frampton's auto-bio book (audio - recommended) and it's surprising how short Humble Pie ran, but how many folks still hold their music dearly.
Respect

I see where AC/DC got their style from. Yep Humble Pie was a great band.

I never heard Frampton play slide before- sounds a little like Foghat

Always loved Humble Pie but never saw them live which is a real shame. Thirty Days In The Hole is my favorite song and I Can't Stand The Rain is a close second. Wore out their Rocking The Fillmore album on my turntable! I did see Steve Marriot play a bar on 6th street in Austin back in 1981. He played 5 feet in front of me. That was a cool night!

RIP Steve.

Marriot. A force of nature.
Love it

Unfortunately I missed Humble Pie but I saw Frampton on November 14, 1975 Onondaga County War Memorial, Syracuse, NY (Supporting J. Geils Band). They played 30 Days in the Hole and encored with I don't need No Doctor. I remember it very well. Ticket was $6.50 for the 9th row. Always liked Humble Pie with Mariott. I was lucky to grow up in NY where they had British band shows late at night on the local stations.

I saw Humble Pie and Uriah Heep open for Alice Cooper at Three Rivers Stadium in 1972.
I was already a Heep fan at the time but the Pie did not disappoint.
It led to me having a better appreciation for Frampton than I might have otherwise had.
Cooper put on his usual impressive stage spectacle.

All-in-all an enjoyable concert - after which the car broke down in Squirrel Hill.
We slept in the car and Dad had to drive over from NE Ohio to pay the garage repair bill.
Fun times those . . .

I've always been blown away by Marriott's vocals. When I was a kid I remember hearing 30 days in the Hole on the radio and never knew who the band was, but I couldn't believe the vocal. I thought it actually might have been some bluesy woman belting out a rock n roll tune. I was captivated by how raw and powerful that vocal was. Still am to this day. He was pure rock n roll.

To me if Marriott wasn't the best rock and soul singer, there can be no argument he was say top 3. I never have been a Humble Pie fan for the reasons I never warmed up to 70s music generally till punk. But I've mellowed with age and the 70s was certainly as real as music got.

Also glad I saw that travelling musical in the UK "All or Nothing" covering the career of the Small Faces. I ride my bike a number of times each week by where the Small Faces played their last show and think about Marriott. I will never understand how Humble Pie was so successful as a live group in America and yet he died alone and with almost nothing. It breaks my heart.

That song was once on my set list in a far away place, and long ago. I had forgotten all about it until now. I used to joke to the youngsters that I have forgotten more songs than they will ever know. Now it's coming true, at least for the forgetfulness part.
