Humble Pie - Honky Tonk Women - 1973 (good quality)

[LittleArabellaGumby]

I LOVE CLEM CLEMPSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheQprfc]

God this is complete shambles, Stones are class, this aint

[spacecowboy7580]

@TheQprfc

Quite right..if Steve wanted to pay tribute to The Stones he should NOT have done this awful version.

[ChinpuTrick]

He knows how to entertain the audience.

Audience can not help but dance.

[ladycplum]

It's been how many years? I still misss the HELL out of Steve Marriot.

[TheShotgunslade]

If the Stones had ever had a vocalist like this guy I would have owned every album they ever made! Wot ever appened the days when rock bands pushed it to the edge, especially in the vocal range? This is reaaalllll rock singing. Lets hear someone try this at a karaoke night.heh heh heh.

[Richauri]

anymore from this show???????

[georgebur]

Extraordinary singing by Steve Marriott but to me not his greatest moment. Somehow this is about the Rolling Stones and these guys try too hard! Interesting.

[SyvetheShairks]

I went to see Cactus and I think it was 10 Years After at the Forum around this time. The MC comes out and says Cactus will not be able to play due to a sudden illness. He says they managed to scrounge up a replacement act, and would Humble Pie be all right?

Yes, they were.

[Cincinnatus1869]

gooooooood drummer

[alsaxe1]

@Cincinnatus1869 his name is jerry shirley...great drummer...the whole band was great ..both w/frampton and clempson....

[Cincinnatus1869]

@alsaxe1 oh sure man I know who Jerry Shirley is , I always ldid like his powerhouse approach . I agree with what you say , the Pie had some fantastic musicians . Wasnt Shirley a founder of 'Fastway" later on ? They had a great sound too .

[alsaxe1]

@Cincinnatus1869 i never heard of fastway....shirley is a keith moon type drummer w/more control..lol.. Keith would play all over the place while jerry would hold a "Powerful" beat and then wail away on the kit.....i think musicians, for the most part, have forgotton how to make music like all of my 70s hero's did

[Cincinnatus1869]

@alsaxe1 Fastway also ha PeteWay of UFO on bass and a known guitarist whose name escapes me at the moment.Kind of an early 'supergroup ' Probably on youtube its wrth a listen for sure . I aree about most modern musicians 100 % man thats why I love digging and discovering 'new' from the great era that I didnt know of before .

T holder stuff just had more attitude and less freaking whining ! Its bceause the kids playing the newrock are more influenced by Kurt Cobain than Muddy Waters !

[alsaxe1]

@Cincinnatus1869 looks like we're on the same page. It's all about rock music being dominated by guitar work. I never liked Cobain's music nor any of the alt stuff from the 90's. I hate out of tune guitars, which is what nirvana's music sounded like to me...My influences are all 60's-70's bands....the production, for the most part, was more in your face and raw than it is today...

[pagefan1]

It is pretty bad when the Rock & Roll Hall of Shame thinks Modanna is Rock & RoLL

[54grs]

The man was a giant in rock that never received the acclaim he so deserved.

[hermygagala]

@54grs Like almost all of the bands I listen to like Nazareth. But I think Humble Pie are even more underground.

[54grs]

Absolutely agree. We miss him so much.

[MrDoramartin]

Yeah!!...I agree with all you people...!!! This was Hard Rock at its Best..!!!...pure and raw..:!!!..I miss those days..!!!.long live Steve Marriot......I'm a big fan!!!!

[Kilroy1983]

I like this version better than the original.



[alanmorri]

I saw these guys back in the day and was totally blown away...I kept thinking...can they actually do this as well as I'm seeing night after night after night?!! Just didn't seem possible to keep up that same intensity...amazing!

[yourpaljc]

Steve...what can you say?? Jerry...killer drummer too. Smokin'.

[albertdaniel1000]

THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF SHAME DON'T GET IT.WHAT A FUCKING JOKE!!!!!

[nomeimpossibile]

steve marriott, such an underrated talent, jesus, this is rock'n'roll...

[supermac473]

jerry shirley is a fantastic drummer you wont hear a better drum sound anywhere timing is immaculate

[fleetwoodmac1982]

Jerry Shirley, the drummer here, should be recognised more for his contribution for this performance.

[thefuckyouchannel100]

Madcatchiken what about dan mcafferty?ronnie dio?robert plant?marriot couldnae lace their boots mate.

[georgec2468]

I was at this show, They opened for Jethro Tull

[MadCatChiken]

The greatest voice of rock n' roll. Period.

[blondieandthefatman]

I saw Steve with his band a couple of months before he died, playing in a little Pub (bar) in Waltamstow, London. Being a great Humble Pie fan I had to go and see him. He was still a great live act.

[campeonar]

ESTO ES HEAVY PARA LOS IDIOTAS DE HOY METAN EL DEDO EN LA ELECTRICIDAD Y RECIEN SENTIRAN QUE ERA EL ROCK

[TheVblackstone]

AMAZIN¨BEST VOICE EVER........

[ceslesnyder]

Marriott was the male equivalent of Janis J. Both gone too soon.

[paivafilho38]

Grande performance do Steve Marriot!!!

[yoch3]

If they do not put Steve Marriott and Humble Pie in the RR Hall of Fame, they should just CLOSE IT! Steve should be the statue in the front of the place greeting people on the way in - this is rock and roll.

[fluffyusa]

@yoch3 Great comment and I do agree with you on the statue of Steve Marriott (incredible voice). the founder of the Small Faces/HUMBLE PIE :D....Rock ON!

[JimboCelt]

@yoch3 I belive you are right - Stve M epitomises rock and roll. He was stunning live, I saw Humble Pie twice, yet he was so small. He made some fantastic recoeds. He defines rock and roll. One of my other great heroes is Joey Ramone, but I measure him against Steve.

[thesabbathzeppelin]

if only the stones heard this....

[maplespak]

Holy crap!!!

[kodiak11755]

@ rockon1898 so true my friend, Steve had more raw talent, more stage appeal, more soul, more blues, more rock & roll, more vocal range, more song writing ability, more dedication to his music, above these attributes Steve also had more fun sharing his love of music with anyone willing to join in and/or simply listen, while revealing his heart to the world, as Steve himself would say "Say No More"

[brokertothestars]

Country Honk cover.....awesome!

[bigdrummer67]

WOW! Steve was THE quintessential front man. A master of his craft. I wish my kids could have seen him live. A Humble Pie show can change lives. Nobody did it better. A great loss to music. This man definitely belongs in the RnR Hall of Fame!

[chippy783]

This is as close to the FILLMORE LIVE album as I've found, Mau have been there, behind the stage.

[1712theGman]

No need to comment! Just watch and listen and for those knew to Marriott and the boys, learn. Great post, thanks

[mrmarriottsgirl]

20 April 1991, 20 lyears since Marriott passed,. hard to believe .To me Steve Marriott will always live on in the beauty & crazy natural grace that was his voice & presence . Under dreaming spires, I've no doubt he's out there in the Universal writing a melody on the winds Absolutely NO ONE to me could ever sing & perform better then Marriott in rock.Watch this!! His passion & love for his music was never surpassed, it was criminal what happened to him in his later years, God I miss Marriott!

[freethequeen]

aaaahhh, stevie the voice, wotta guy.

[klaritavital]

HUHUUUU !



[caemaridwn]

Just want to agree Steve Marriott was one of the best ,some great comments on here I agree with you all

[1968tjg]

We only grace this planet for a very short time but I thank my lucky stars that I have the most greatest pleasure of being a Steve Marriott Fan. Without you Steve I never would have been introduced to so many different forms of music. My admiration for this man holds no bounds for to me he is Rock and Roll.

[DrRockerful]

where had been recorded the live versions of eat it? Who knows? This version is killer! Thanks!

[DrRockerful]

Steve Marriott always will be "The Great"! This guy exhaled Rock And Roll and had a powerful voice! Hei man, not to worry the hall of fame! They don`t know nothing! Waiting for full concert! Thanks the post! RIP Mr Steve

[SwaneeRiverTV]

steve marriott is swanee river's ( derry band) ultimate hero. this perfromance brings me to tears, such a bright star in the world, under realised. we miss u steve...heres one to the greatest white soul singer of all time!

[tonini76]

That's definitively a great voice and attitude.

I'm ready now to move...

is that P. Frampton right?!! great! thanks for upload

[JNDGuitarman]

@tonini76 No, that's Clem Clempson; Peter Frampton left Humble Pie in 1971.

[tonini76]

That's definitively a great voice and attitude.

I'm ready now to move...

[L1TN1N6]

Note he is singing Country Honk, not Honky Tonk Women (same song, different lyrics). But classic either way. Most kick ass version i've ever heard

[1968tjg]

Today is Steves birthday and I will have several large drinks and listen to his wonderful voice. I will sing along ,laugh, dance and cry a few tears for the greatest Rock and Roll man that ever walked the earth. Thank you kindy Steve for bring me such joy!!!

[Dukabor]

@1968tjg I'm a little late to the party...found some amazing small faces stuff tonight but Stevie kick my ass in Humble Pie...god I wanted to sing like him...love ya all Stevie lovers...

[TheLovelyladylover]

Don't you miss him?? Thanks for this amazing upload.

[xJayWalkerx]

@TheLovelyladylover

yeah, I miss him, every single day. And on this special day I miss him twice as much :(

[TheLovelyladylover]

@xJayWalkerx God he really was DYNAMITE!!!!!!!!!!

[Richauri]

@TheLovelyladylover as if i was as safe as yesterday ;)

[Texbaslery]

@TheLovelyladylover Steve Marriott, Thankyou.

[Doosterify]

They sounded so much better every time Steve came in on guitar. Cool stuff.

[SNOWCHILD1011]

Steve Marriott is one of the all-time great of Rock'n Roller.

[Sincopare]

Steve Marriott vs. Edgar Winter...who's the best white boy blues shouter?

[Alquit4]

@Sincopare No contest! Marriott of course.

[TheLovelyladylover]

Wired for sound or WHAT!!! Brilliant!!

[tomshea69]

Bohhi716: I've got the King Biscuit cd and it is Awesome!!!

[abraxas90046]

Gotta co-sign tomshea69's post - Dee Anthony (Pie's manager) screwed Frampton's career in a similar fashion just a few years later. Great video, BTW.

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Steve is the best!

[daevidallen1]

Dig how he sings "Country Honk" steada "Honky Tonk", makes it Work! Wow, that Unstoppable Energy. No wonder he needed drugs to slow down! (RIP Greg Ridley too) Kicked the tune's tail w/out even tryin' to copy the Stones the way Tributes do (including all mine) Agree w/All who knew Pie shoulda been bigger!

[rossfletcher22]

Thank you! Marriott is so great! and anybody notice he played so many cool guitars over the years! ; )

[duncanstpt]

Steve Marriott and Bon Scott were the real deal. No artificial anything. Irreplaceable.

[JaminJim2010]

Wow, I was at this concert [!!]?

[tomshea69]

The problem with Humble Pie is A&M kept them on the road so much they didn't have time to write much material after 1972. That's why Thunderbox and Street Rats are so weak. Had they just had some time off to rest Steve's voice and recharge the batteries, who knows how great they would have been? Record companies ran the show in those days and you were merely an employee and a commodity. Man I miss music like this.

[xJayWalkerx]

@tomshea69

Great comment, I agree with you.

[mez1964]

@xJayWalkerx Thunderbox is feckin' brilliant mate.

[Bodhi716]

@tomshea69

Right-o buddy, but I'll tell you I'm really grateful for what these guys gave me as a snot-nosed 13 year old trying to stay awake to watch them on Don Kirshner's rock concert. They are my heroes to this day, and like you....God I miss stuff like this. If you can track it down, get a copy of their concert for the "King Buscuit Flower Hour". The sound quality is outstanding, and has HTW version on it.

Rock Steady bro.

[Topkat311]

@tomshea69 I have news for you, record companies STILL run the show. Some artists are still toured to the max, & if they don't sell, they're OUT. They are still commodities, but fortunately now they have better management. Not like the slime & crime bosses that robbed Marriott of his money.

[plato400]

@tomshea69 I agree, this band had a great potential to be listed in the line of groups like Zeppelin. And Marriot had a great rock voice. The Small Faces is also a great example of this faith. A shame, they were both great in their time.

[dlh60]

@tomshea69 Ah Yes It''s a 2 edged sword as that same busy schedule is what also allowed them to hone their skills further. Can't beat stage time to get your sound right.

[hiwattcarl]

this band was awesome, they gave the stones a run for their money and they had peter frampton before clem clempson. steve had one of the most original voices in rock and roll and losing him was an enormous tragedy. I seen them several times and i was lucky. where do you sign up to induct steve marriot in the rock n' roll hall of fame ?

[Miloseb12345]

steve marriott was so much cooler in the small faces

[tomkowo]

This is an outstanding version, thanx for sharing!! Steve is a "must be" in the R&R Hall of Fame!!

[jmfcritter]

Sends shivers down my spine..love Marriott..Greg Ridley coolest base player...

[jst1998]

What an amazing voice. They don't make 'em anymore like this.

[gillan5]

Humple Pie Live at the Fillmore East ranks among with Made in Japan, Allmanns live at the Fillmore, Wishbone Ash Live Dates, Live at Leeds, Hendrix with Band of Gypsies, Little Feat live and only very, very few others.

[pretorious700]

This song doesn't sound right without the open G tuning. And maybe he should learn the lyrics.

[andzwe]

@pretorious700: Your right. As you may know Keith picked that tuning up from Ry Cooder. Come to think of it, maybe things like that set the Stones apart from other bands. Cleverly borrowing from other artists, beside having the talent to use it in their own way.

[Dukabor]

why is any time I play Humble Pie...I have to turn up the volume?...wait I'll answer my own question....cause it's meant to be played LOUD.......duh

[powerkor]

whoever put that crowd track on this should be shot

[smallhandff]

There will never be another like him. He was a "living treasure".

[Dukabor]

@smallhandff he sang his fucking ass off every night...I was fortunate to see him...and he did this...love ya forever Stevie...

[2468oldschooltimes]

steve had more soul than mick anyday of the week, plus playing!

[ss180jay]

What an intro, amazing....

[freekoss]

Steve Marriott! Sign the petition to induct Steve Marriott into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

[Dukabor]

it's not about what Stevie thought...it's about what WE the fans think...he should be inducted...and stevie can say "fuck you" from beyond the grave for all I care...matter of fact that would be appropriate ..and who the hell are you to say what is relevant or irrelevant?...and what Stevie would think?...jeez...the arrogance of some ppl...

[Dukabor]

good point Tecumseh...and I apologize for my previous post cause I think I misread you...I get your point now...it's all bullshit as far as the R&R Hall of Fame goes..heh..and nice turnaround on the "ignorance" thing...well done!...man I guess at some point it just meant something to me ...but I think you're right "so what does it really mean anyway? Fuck the hall of fame"....still....it bothers me....forgive me for that...:-)

[Dukabor]

okay I'm going to try this again cause I don't see my reponse coming up on this page...I apologize and agree with you Tecumseh...Fuck the hall of fame...nice turnaround on the ignorance thing...heh...I just feel if others make it (like friggin Madonna?)...christ Marriott should be there? but you're right...wtf cares...

[Dukabor]

see my response to Tecumseh...heh

[freekoss]

I agree with Dukabor...Steve SHOULD be in there. I know to some the RRHF is being called The Rock n' Roll Hall Of Shame, and rightfully so of its inductions with shallow no feel people like Blondie and Madonna. But the RRHF was meant to honor the greats in Rock, so therefore Steve Marriott SHOULD be in there. How we "cleanse" the shame from the RRHF is to de-duct goofballs like Madonna & Blonde & any that didn't sing/play with feel & induct a singer/guitar great like Steve Marriott.

[slvideo1]

@freekoss where?

[EasyAce]

@freekoss He should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame---with the original Small Faces. That's where the heart of Marriott's reputation lies and always has when all is said and done. That's also where he proved himself a genuine soul singer and (with Ronnie Lane) an excellent songwriter. Good as they could be, Humble Pie wasn't even close.

[rockon1898]

Happy Belated B'day, Steve.

[jmfcritter]

Wow ! Even though the audio has its limitations, Steve Marriott shines through ! I have the live concert CD of this tune of Humble Pie featured on "the King Buscuit Flower Hour " Awesome stuff !

[rockon1898]

This is what scared Jagger off when Steve auditioned for the Stones. Richards was very keen on having him, Mick was scared shitless and wanted no part of it.

Marriott - God Bless Him!

[blakedawg76]

First I'd heard of Marriott auditioning for the Stones! Where can I learn more about that?

[rockon1898]

There's a book out, written by a Marriott insider, John Hewitt and Paolo Hewitt. It's title is "All Too Beautiful" and the info's in there. Something a lot of us Marriott fans knew about decades ago. Marriott was called in by his close buddy Keith Richards, they did an auditioned, Keith urged Steve just to play guitar, not sing. But he couldn't help himself and Jagger had a fit. While part of me likes Jagger, that doesn't surprise me one bit. Mick knew he'd get blown off the stage by Steve.

[clean3]

Whilst it's a fairly mouth watering prospect...in retrospect, the Stones were simply 'too small a town' for both Jagger and Marriott; it's a shame Steve and Keef never got something together between them both. Watching this reminds me of what an unbelievably brilliant performer SM was....RIP Steve.

[rockon1898]

p,s, this was right when Humble Pie was shutting down and Mick Taylor had just left. Marriott was in stellar company, almost anyone of them better than Wood.

Americans Wayne Perkins and Harvey Mandel, and Badfinger's Joey Molland were in consideration as well as Marriott and Wood.

[gorblimey61]

What other rock vocalist could just grab a mic and belt out that kind of soulful raunch?

[sunsetbeachmuz]

Robin Zander of Cheap Trick can! Love Steve Marriott but, Robin's my fav.

[tomitstube]

@gorblimey61 ~ robert plant could from 68 to 72. buddy guy and buddy miles. steven tyler, chris cornell, bon scott, james brown...

but yeah, stevie is legendary. once i heard humble pie for the first time, i had to have everything they recorded. that voice.

[MrSirMrSirMr]

Terry Reid was another in his day, too.

[blakedawg76]

@tomitstube Great singers there.

[tomitstube]

@blakedawg76 ~ steve marriott still gives me goosbumps. what a voice. i've recently rediscovered janis joplin. amazing too.

[blakedawg76]

Nobody! Not like this!

[rockon1898]

I was there! Awesome Concert, Steve was the best Cat!!!

[gerundio88]

que pedazo de voz

[xJayWalkerx]

sí :)

[maxziz]

thank you--this performance was a big part of my life-i only ever heard it and loved it,,now ive seen ,,and im a better man for it,,,thank you--thats all,,,,,

[hazor777]

Check out Marriot's bio on Wickipedia....intertesting

[UberPiroxsFriend]

Never heard of this band before and I really like them!

[xJayWalkerx]

oh cool , imo this is a very underrated band :)

If you like a lead singer I recommend to check also his previous band out - Small Faces. Songs like Tin Soldier, Song Of A Baker, Rollin' Over, Afterglow Of Your Love...shit too many good stuff to mention!

Small Faces are hailed the best UK band never to hit it big in America-probably because they never toured there...

[sisterdiggins]

You GOT to get familiar with Marriot!

He was more influential than you know.

Brilliant guy and such a loss to those who loved him , which spans millions.

Yeah, check out the Small Faces for sure!

[panktainter]

Check out the Small Faces band before his Humble Pie. Small Faces definitely good stuff, as good as the British Invasion groups. Small Faces was THE mod band of the 60s. Mod was a style of life for some then. Cool, mod, whatever. Steve became a long haired rocker, the best.

[db95018]

kick ass band ...Marriot, Kenny Jones ...Ian Mcglain Ronnie Wood...Jeez

[putojoevrsaalgpt66]

I am sorry mate but Ronnie Wood was never part of the Small Faces. You mean Ronnie Lane. Marriott, Lane, Jones &

MacLagan were the Small Faces. Rod Stewart & Ronnie Wood (2) replaced (1) Steve Marriott when he left & went on to form Humble Pie.

The Small Faces never ever toured America that is why they only had 1 or 2 hits (Itchycoo Park). Had they been to America they'd have been huge there like they were anywhere else. Have a good Xmas & Happy 2010 for everybody around the world.

[db95018]

your so right I stand corrected as Steve used to say "I was walkin the garden" after smokin a bomber...lost me mind..

[Dukabor]

@UberPiroxsFriend glad you like them...I liked them in 69...when "Live At the Fillmore " was out...check it out!!

[mrmarriottsgirl]

Noone & I say NO ONE was better in rock music to me then Marriott! No one EVER will be.Not only was he the finest but he had the ears too, he always picked the BEST people to play with. His Humble Pie with & without Frampton was & is the greatest ROCK band ever IMO. LISTEN TO THS ! Plant & Hendrix copied, Weller wishes, Jagger not even close! Only the Who, Gallagher & Kinks had the rock blues street smarts to compete! aww I miss Marriott - just the best - case closed.

[freekoss]

I miss him too...long live Steve Marriott!!

[fluffyusa]

many thanx for sharin this video of Steve and the Pie. i wish if u had more? they were awesome.

[xJayWalkerx]

Yeah, I wish I had more too, and if I had I would have uploaded it for sure. It's always a pleasure to share a great music with others :)

Thx for a comment.

[db95018]

check out Steves "Packet of Three " some great video and songs it will make ya smile.

[Historyguy13]

You have no idea what a flashback you gave me. I saw them in September 1972, and they looked and sounded exactly as this vid! Thank you for the great memory!!

[eturfrey]

Wow could these guys rock

[tomshea69]

Man I wish this entire show was available on video. I know it exhist somewhere I just wish someone would release it. At this point they could have played the MacDonald's menu and brought the house down. What a singer, what a band!!!

[psychkoala]

In which an adorable Blues & Rock'n'roll crazed English elf unleashes his passion and fury upon an unprepared world...

Ha, ha... ROCKIN' !

[RockMusicLover73]

And what a great tribute it was!

Those guys could really rock!!

[TWOCV602]

Go Stevie....thanks for showing xJayWalkerx......

xx
