Humble Pie - Live In Australia 1982

Recorded off Australian late night TV music show "Rock Arena" in 1983. The wonderful, slightly drunk, Steve Marriott and band at the early eighties 2 day music festival at Ponde, near Adelaide South Australia. I love the start when Steve starts the song riff and the bass player goes to join in only to find his bass isn`t plugged into the amp! Many thanks to "jimgeorge1" for pointing out that the keyboard player is Goldy McJohn, a former member of Steppenwolf and letting me know that the Bass player was Jim Leverton and the drummer (unseen) was Fallon Williams. Interestingly, Fallon Williams enjoyed the tour down under so much that he consequently moved here. I`d also like to suggest that at this time in Steve Marriott`s recording career the most likely name of the group would have been "STEVE MARRIOTT and THE PACKET OF THREE". Although for possibly obvious reasons, concert promoters often used the name "Humble Pie" for advertising and promotional purposes. Something Steve Marriott was evidently none too pleased about.

Steve did tour as Humble Pie in both 82 and 83.

This is the 82 lineup which included Goldy McJohn organist from Steppenwolf.

The 83 lineup were 2 unknowns from Atlanta and drummer Fellon Williams who Steve had picked up in Chicago for the 82 tour.

After some 1983 shows with the Atlanta guys, Steve brought back Jim Leverton (Fat Mattress) and with Fallon Williams the new trio (similar to the 1982 quartet but without Steppenwolf's McJohn) were renamed Packet of Three (as in a packet of 3 condoms).

Everything I know about this clip is included in the information section to the right of these comments.

[sunphuk]

isnt this the era of the "pack of three"??

[Mouldytone]

I believe it was. The "About This Video" section of this page has some further thoughts re the use of the Humble Pie name by concert promoters. Against the wishes of Steve Marriott from what I`ve read.

I saw steve in London 1990 but in 1983 I was totally pissed of because we played at the Bridgeway the Night Steve played Ponde and the next night we played at Ponde and he did the Bridgeway. Still not over missing these shows grrrrrr

Thanks for the post Mouldytone

sunphuk is right - this is The Packet of Three not Humble Pie

[gigtime]

Actually Steve didn't come up with the Packet of 3 until 1985 when he returned to the UK and reunited with Jim Leverton and Fallon Williams as a 3-piece. At that time, the band was being billed as Steve Marriott & The Pie or at times as Humble Pie. Although I didn't do the Australian tour, I was Steve's road manager for most his US gigs from 82-85. Jim Leverton was replaced by Keith Christopher on bass. Keith played was the original bass player for the Georgia Satellites.

I saw Steve up at the Prospect Hill in Melbourne around this time with Fallon on drums. What a fantastic show and persona. Incidentally I worked with Fallon recently and imho he's still very much got it! I posted a video with Fallon on drums in the studio, it's in the video response bit on this page.

Cheers

great show,saddly missed!!

[MrsSuratt]

I know I'm being petty and it's all about the voice, but I really hate Steve's mullet and farmer coveralls phase. Just 15 years before this, he'd been the sharpest looking mod on the planet.

Steve Marriot and Fallon Williams, far out jammed at Mckinnon hotel with Fallon had not a clue he was in this guy`s band, what a privielidge to jamm with his vocal`s out front you could not help but be inspired.

@AgentOfSTERANKO

Nice to see the condensation coming out his mouth.

I saw them in '82 at the Royal Antler (if memory serves correct) where he utterly kicked arse

He was the most powerfull vocalist I'd ever seen.

Tragic, hey sunshine, eh?

"Love Ya"
