WELL, THE DOCTOR SAID I NEED REST
HE PUT ME ON THE CRITICAL LIST
KEEPING SAFE FROM HARM
ALL I NEED IS HER SWEET CHARM
One of the world's
greatest live albums
is now four times greater!
Now, for the first time,
Omnivore Recordings
has gathered all four shows from
Humble Pie's historic
Fillmore East stand
in this lovingly packaged
four-CD box set.
No editing or resequencing
just the four sets as they
were played on
May 28 and 29, 1971.
The seven tracks
that comprised
the original album
are joined here by
15 previously unissued performances
including the never-before-heard
complete first set
from May 28
When Steve Marriott left
the Small Faces
(Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Class of 2012)
to launch a new band
in 1968,
expectations were high.
Marriott teamed with
18-year-old guitarist
Peter Frampton,
already a U.K. star
through his work with
The Herd,
along with bassist
Greg Ridley
from
Spooky Tooth,
and 17-year-old
drummer
Jerry Shirley,
who Steve Marriott
had used as
a session player for
Andrew Loog Oldham's
Immediate Record Label.
Humble Pie recorded four albums
and several singles
before achieving its
U.S. breakthrough
with their 1971
the double-live set
Performance: Rockin' The Fillmore.
Drawn from four shows
played over
two consecutive nights at
Bill Graham's legendary
Fillmore East, New York
Performance captured
a red-hot band
firing on all cylinders,
distilling the crowd-pleasing
heavy blues-rock style
that had come to dominate
the Brit foursome's repertoire,
and which would help to lay
the foundation for the sound
that would soon become
known as heavy metal.
Performance caught on in a big way
with American listeners,
hitting #21
on the U.S. album chart
and becoming the
Pie's first Gold album.
