Humble Pie - Say No More Live BBC

BBC Full House 21st October 1972. A rare BBC clip of Steve Marriott on ukulele, Dave "Clem" Clemson on 2nd guitar. Beautiful, beautiful lyrics.
******PLEASE NOTE this is all I have from the show. I looked in my SM biography, "All Too Beautiful", and it only mentions this one song. If anyone can cite a source for a longer set, please let us all know.*******

[{There's a pretty involved debate in the thread here regarding Steve's instrument. Interesting read.}]

Well it felt so sad to be
Where i didn't need to be
Now i feel so good to know
How you still care for me
When it's alright in front of you
It's so hard to see
But there was a wall about you
Though it took me awhile just
To suss it out
And what i laid down
At my shout didn't help me none
'cause you held me soul in your hands
It sifted through your fingers
Like fine silver sand
Well i don't need a swimming pool
I don't want records on the wall
I just want you babe
And that's all
I'll say no more
I laid all my cards on the table
I can give you what you need
Now i'm able to
Now i tell you how i feel
I hope you come thru
'cause if you're the sea
Then i'm your rock
And if i'm a key
Then you're my lock
Well if you're a foot
Then i'm your sock
So wear me well
Oh! go away all alone
Don't leave me here babe
With just this 1-way telephone
Without you i ain't no big shot
Even now looks like i hit the jackpot
I just need you babe
That's my long shot
I can sing no more

Steve Marriott RIP

64 years ago the great steve marriott came into the world. How lucky are we that he was in our world and continues to be. I, for one, listen to him just about every day. I love hearing that voice - it's quality, emotion, charm and humour is something i don't choose to be without too often.

Wow, what a gem this video! I literally grew up with Steve's music, and I've always been mesmarized by his songs, lyrics and incredible voice.

Later I discovered his soulful way of playing the guitar. I'm sure he must have been influenced by soul artists from the sixties/early seventies. His whole attitude and approach towards the guitar is testimony to that.

Love you, Steve! Always done, and always will.

Steve lives

It seems to be tuned (like the guitar) down a step, except for the 4th i.e. G Bb D G

I actually made an mp3 of this live performance, it's so beautiful.

What a lovely song, dedicated to Jenny Ryland (Rod's ex, his wife at the time, a pic of her is on Steve's T-shirt). A shame their relationship was already on the rocks then. I heard she came to his funeral. Bless her!

@jfttvbhy if you kook carefully he only has 4 strings on it so the set up could be anyones guess - just to say the man could play not to mention that voice from heaven

[Cassidy253]

Anyone know what tuning he is using?......i don't think it is standard uke tuning (gCEA).......

[jfttvbhy]

His ukulele IS A: tenor 6 string ukulele made by kamaka. End of story

[hdbass]
