Peep Solero Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 I don't know much....but I like the groove and sound. and you? Quote
Pb Derigable Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 They should've been bigger then they were. The only thing i own is a Vinyl of "Rockin the Filmore". My favorit track is the 26min "I walk on Guilded Splinters". here's the Wikipage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humble_Pie_%28band%29 Quote
Mr E Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 One of my favourites. It's a shame they're not more well known. Anyone who is a fan of Led Zep or The Rolling Stones should love them. Here's the albums that I have with my ratings: As Safe As Yesterday Is - 6/10 Town and Country - 6/10 Humble Pie - 9/10 Rock On - 8/10 Performance Rockin' The Filmore (live) - 8/10 Smokin' - 9/10 Extended Versions (live) - 8/10 Quote
Swede Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Humble Pie were great. Steve Marriott's voice was awesome, very soulful. Be sure to check out the stuff he did with The Small Faces too. Quote
Joelmon Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 I know they were BIG when I saw them twice....in '72 and '73. Both times, the venue's were sold out and they were the headliners. Maybe they didn't get the media coverage, but amonst the many fans I knew, they were held in high regard and sold lots of records...mainly Fillmore East and Smokin'... In the top 5 for loudest shows I ever heard too.... Rock On ! Quote
dragster Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Great band....Ridley from another top and underrated band Spooky Tooth played bass in HP! Quote
Hotplant Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 They were great when I saw them in the early 70's. For some reason, my ticket stub from that show I saved, and I still have it. Back then I really never thought of saving all my stubs, wish I had now. Quote
Rock Action Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Humble Pie was a great band. Another band whose change of guitarists changed the sound quite a bit, not unlike the Stones when Taylor quit and Wood joined (though different in the fact that both Pie lead guitarists were very talented at the axe). With Peter Frampton (1969-71), they could vary from crunchy to jazzy. When he was replaced by Dave "Clem" Clempson, they went to a raunchier, harder-hitting sound. All great stuff though. I thought the two early albums "As Safe As Yesterday" and "Town & Country" were weak in spots, but from the self-titled album in 1970 on they were consistently awesome. For live discs, "KBFH Live in Winterland 1973" is a must-have, as is "Live At The Whiskey A Go Go". I like "Rockin' The Fillmore" too, but the other two are better IMO. RIP, Steve & Greg. Quote
JethroTull Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 XM was playing a bunch of Humble Pie recently. I was quite impressed. C'mon Everybody. Quote

Medhb Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Sorry, try this Ahhh, great tune Ally! I love Humble Pie...to me, 30 Days in the Hole will always be their anthem, good times them! Quote
MadScreamingGallery Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 I haven't listened to them in ages but, back in their heyday, I loved Humble Pie. Quote
Medhb Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 I haven't listened to them in ages but, back in their heyday, I loved Humble Pie. Well, except for Dr. Page Another great tune by HP! Quote
JethroTull Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I'm SO into The Pie right now. I bought something called The Definitive Collection. Released in 2006 containing career highlights. One song I am obsessed with Rollin' Stone. It was written by Muddy Waters. It's almost two songs in one. The first 3 1/2 minutes are slow and bluesy, then for a couple of minutes it goes into this rollicking multi-vocal romp. It's awesome. Does anybody know anything about this song? Quote
Led Zep Gurl Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I haven't listened to them in ages but, back in their heyday, I loved Humble Pie. I love this song! I remember listening to them on an 8 track years ago that I got from my brother! Quote
Led Zep Gurl Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Ahhh, great tune Ally! I love Humble Pie...to me, 30 Days in the Hole will always be their anthem, good times them! I love this song too! It was on the 8 track too! Quote

JethroTull Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Don't know much but it's a great cut I'd like to know how much it differs from the Muddy Waters version. The cover of my CD is shown within the first minute or so of that clip. Quote

Jahfin Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Ahhh, great tune Ally! I love Humble Pie...to me, 30 Days in the Hole will always be their anthem, good times them! They obviously own a great debt to bands like Humble Pie, the Stones, the Faces, etc. but I've always loved The Black Crowes' version of that song. I definitely prefer that era of the Crowes to when they turned into a jam band and started channeling the Allmans and the Grateful Dead. Quote

The version found on Rockin' The Fillmore is amazing. Hell that whole album was early 70's hard rock at its' very best. I vaguely remember reading where Marriott used the first part of the song directly from the Muddy Waters original but then going into some other old blues tune for the last half. The live version has Marriott telling a story to the audience under a slow vamp......it's incredible. Regards; Quote
