I Wonder - Humble Pie

[TheNiggaHunta]

He does anyone know where I can find a guitar tab for this?

[buschnic61]

Nobody is Steve Marriot

[lastschicker]

Page offered Marriott to join zep before plant and steves manager asked jimmy 'how would you like to play guitar with broken fingers'

[ludwig26]

Great stuff. Guitar tones are amazing esp at 6:52. SICK!

[Dharma2U]

I thought I was the only one that truly enjoyed this tune. I listened to it over and over when I got the album from my sister and brother-in-law.

[thereallykindred]

Robert Plant used to watch Marriott during his Small Faces day... and learned quite well, don't you think?

Don't get me wrong, I love Plant too, but he's no Steve Marriott!

[educassiano]

Hard to explain why Zeppelin took all the scene with guys like these around.

[jakski]

saw humble pie 3x'x in philly back in the day,,they sure knew how to rock and put on a show,,always left blown away..im very fortunate to have grown up when music was music.

[jimmy128100]

Just heard this on WZLX HD2 "Radio Mojo." Wow! never heard this before.

[Rogginroll]

Great jam out!

[rbertagopetah13]

My favorite rock band and favorite male rock singer carved in stone....

[PapaSanDoc]

This my all time favorite blues tune of all time. I love the blues. I listen to this song and remember smokin' dope in Thailand and feeling every note. I smile and still get goose bumps every time I play this song. Absolutely amazing piece of work. I don't think this song could ever be duplicated by any of the greats today. This is a true one in a million recording. If you are not familiar with this song, get right and play it over and over and over...you'll see!

[YOUareALLasleep]

@PapaSanDoc Ever get into Blind Melon? Interesting if anyone growing up with all these great bands ever heard of them and would appreciate them as much as I do. I'm 32 and beleive the best music was recorded before I was even thought of, but some of "todays" music can hold as much feeling and heart and sole as some of the true greats!! Hope some of you old school buggers are able to wade through the yuck the predominates todays commercial "music" and find that MUSIC still exists!!!

[asfranko1958]

@PapaSanDoc I got right and I do see.....Oh ya!

[terrylrt1]

sure would love to see them perform this song - anyone know where to buy or see it performed?

[bradsr55]

Nobody except those baby boomers that smoked much dope, the bud now, that knows how to rock and roll, do it with soul from the soul can appreciate this. Not many people know about this old school. HOW SWEET IT IS!

[Robsie1]

Aaah, memories! Thanks for posting these tracks from Smokin', haven't heard them for 35 years. Great album, Marriott playing organ and harmonica as well. Great harp solo on this one.

[terrylrt1]

50 years old next month, and still play air guitar to this bad boy, need i say anymore? hahaha

[amsedelm]

Clem is amazing on this tune. No one can touch him..

[myklj999]

Music like it was meant to be...

[ofdoubtsandgod]

This song is still with me - still comes into my head (like today) - it's getting dark and it's raining, I'm in another country and remembering...

[flowby]

Better than sex!

[bradsr55]

@flowby  LOL

[cmferrigno]

Here I go

[cmferrigno]

here I go

[amsedelm]

Who is that guitarist? Not Peter is it?

[maceonenyc]

@amsedelm Clem Clemson .after framp .Early 1972

[myklj999]

@amsedelm Nope, Peter wasn't in the band when they released this album...

[maceonenyc]

One of the greatest blues songs ever!

[DelbertMcJustice]

"thassa ho lotsa so.. fo fo white boyz" "sho nuff iz" "4 d yr go, 2"

justice be done

[TheBitterWeed]

The Seventies. And why not ?

[rockingSG]

To maplespak, Clemson is playing lead, Marriot plays the rthymn

[cpartilecoco]

Was this recorded before or after Since I've been Lovin you from Led Zep??

[xJayWalkerx]

It was recorded in 1972, two years after LZ III.

This is a Gant/Leveen song. It's a cover.

If you like slow blues and acoustic stuff check their take on For Your Love (The Yardbirds song) - they changed it so much that it reminds me of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. It's a cool Beat Club live footage.

[mu6myfudnlife]

Hi, xJayWalkerx. Haven't talked to you in awhile. When I started playing the For Your Love video all the time on my computer a year ago, my 13 year-old daughter said, "That sounds like the guy from LZ." I didn't think so at first, then I said, "You're right. It sounds like my favorite LZ song - Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You. I haven't heard that in years." She said, "I just downloaded that song when you let me buy Mothership. Want to hear it?" Blew me away! Glad both bands were talented.

[xJayWalkerx]

Hi, mu6myfudnlife.

Yeah, I remember you from Shaky Jake video :). This is a nice story, thanks for sharing it with me. So cool that your daughter knows those bands :)

Take care mu6myfudnlife and rock on.

[maceonenyc]

@cpartilecoco This came later..Led Zep 3 was recoreded in 70. This was early 72 after framp left..

[paicefreak]

@maceonenyc  compared to this(humble pie) led zeppelin is a joke

[karlforston]

One more GEM for the ages. Talk about good things in small packages. The BIGGEST VOICE EVER. RIP Stevie this world is diminished by your leaving us at way too young an age.

[bassoonpeace]

Yo, Chippy783, It's Steve Marriot, not Steve Stills, Steve Stills was in Buffalo Springfield.

[maplespak]

What a cranking solo! Is that Marriott or Clemson?

[mrwuffe]

I couldn't put the song into words cause it left me speechless. Fritz there just said it for me ... You had to have suffered to really hear it. Beautiful.

[chippy783]

on the dvd it is let out that Steve Stills was in the house (Hot and Nasty) and that cocaine was in all the boys heads. Put that together with Steve's breakup with Jennie and you have this gut wrenching diddie.

p.s. you wouldn't see Steve do a Geico(?) commercial

[gorblimey61]

Steve wasn't much bigger than the gecko, but he had way more balls.

[tomitstube]

the greatest song no ones heard.

[hansjah]

@tomitstube I know right! Humble pie were fantastic! Can somebody advise me on a few more such bands? Because sometimes by a stroke of luck I'm introduced to a band such as this one (or UFO's most recent album, the Visitor, or Sean Costello, both of which I'd recommend, especially the latter), and I just feel I've been missing out on the for so long.

[mooncrsher]

@hansjah Another great band is The J.GEILS BAND! Try their "LIVE"Full House album to start.Whammer Jammer, First I Look at the Purse,etc.

[mkerwin1]

This is an amazing track!!

[Christacan]

Never mind Frampton all I care about is Steve 'the voice'. He was Humble Pie.

[EdTracey347]

This song is credited to Cecil Gant & R. Leveen. Gant was a blues singer who wrote it in 1944 and died in 1951 at only age 38. But when you listed to Gant's recording, the lyrics are completely different - so I'm unsure of the song's provenance. But kudos to the lads for crediting Gant the ay they did.

[fluffyusa]

this track is off humble pie's (Smokin) album, and Framtpon wasn't on it, Clempson was on the album. Frampton last album was the live "Performance - Rockin the Fillmore". both were great guitarist, frampton could sing and clempson not, frampton had more jazz-bluesy solos, clempson bluesy-boogie solos. marriott was a great singer, rhythm guitarist and at times good lead, ridley awesome bass and singer.

[tomshea69]

Whoa, KILLER vocal!!! I have got to somehow get all of HPs cds. You just can't find them domestilcally. In response to fluffyusa comment yeah Frampton is a great singer and guitarist but Clem could sing and can sing really well his is more bluesy and lower ranged than Peters, between Greg's and Steves it was a good compliment to each.

[shredmunga]

peter framton does not play on this track

[keefer2111]

Please excuse me...while I roll up this joint. I just picked it this morning and its time to get all Fucked up.

Every time I hear this band I think of Peter Frampton, This a song you must turn up loud.

I cant remember how much time I have played this album with old friends partying. This song is great when stoned.

[keefer2111]

This was when Peter Frampton had hair.

Great Jamms.

[fbfiveohv3]

that's mondo epic

[Arrowwood11]

nice one

[ploppy193]

RIP Steve Marriott

[shredmunga]

5 star- plus would love to hear a live version, any offers ?

[PhuckU860]

Humble Pie is nothin' less than the bomb!!! They blending the blues with rock like few could. Marriott and Framton are GODS of ROCK and Humble Pie was where the GODS came together to make some of the best music ever recorded.

[tealeaf56]

Smokin' is one of THE best albums of all time. Great music, as this cut reinforces.

[keefer2111]

Smokin IS THE BEST PARTY ALBUM!

[Fritz108]

Ive been looking for this for months.

It brings back memories for me too.

Starting out on guitar as a kid at 14 this really and blew me away, and still does.

To play blues like that you gotta suffer to feel it like that.

[shaggy8000]

Stumbled across this accidently - I haven't heard it for decades. I'd forgotton how much I loved it. Brings back so many memories of seeing the band live. This so stands the test of time, it's incredible.

[DAVBRUBU]

Clempson at his best - 'Lost Angeles', Colosseum Live, 1971. Even better than this. One of the best live albums ever......Clempson, Jon Hiseman, Chris Farlowe, Dick Hecstall-Smith, Mark Clarke, Dave Greenslade.

Sheer magic

[Khaliyl19]

2 Of The Greatest Blues Guitar Solos EVER!

Where Is Clemson Now?

[jimi27]

@Khaliyl19  I totally agree! This solo has always been numero uno to me

[tomitstube]

Ballad 101 And I wonder who was first, this or Zepp's 7 to 11. I love both, red house too. Curious why I Wonder is the outsider. It would be a miricle to witness the best rendition. Maybe this is it.

[stilltroubled]

these white boy's can sure play da blues.thanks for posting it.

[NowPleaseReadThis]

I like the feel of suppressed controlled megawattage and power this recording gives. They play carefully and quietly but you can tell the amps are turned way up. The loudness makes it presence felt even when its not loud, it's there barely contained but you can sense it, until it bursts out especially towards the end of the the big windup guitar solo. Yeah!

They must have had a terrific live show. Real musicians. One of my favorite blues numbers ever. Turn it up to capture it all.

[drdave616]

Really brings back memories, and still sounds so, so very goooooood! Doc

[gorblimey61]

"I wonder" why today's music can't hold a candle to this stuff?

[Godlesspanther]

@gorblimey61 Yep, those who attempted to do hard-rock after the mid 70s just did a sucky imitation. This is the real stuff. DAMN! Steve and Greg -- those guys knew how to do it!

[LakotaLegend]

Definitely one of Humble Pie's best, very soulful.

[ricogarion]

This was a seriously good song.

[arundelthomas]

thnx again seek my pie play list is bustin. any chance you got "I believe to my soul" off that live rec they did at the fillmore west?

[arundelthomas]

superb seek howbout 'red light mama" off humple pie

[theseeker23]

it's up now!

[tnsepie]

This has to be one of the best blues songs ever recorded, Marriott feels it, sings it, plays it, delivers it right into your very soul.
