Great soulful rocky voice from Steve Marriott, I like the way they rocked up this Stones staple. I like the drummer's experimentation with day glow clothing. I also like that they gave Sean Bean's dad, or possibly less handsome relative on bass a job. Sort of "Gimme gimme gimme the 'onkeh tonk blooose." Lol!

Tommy Bolin instead of Clem? No. Clem was fucking great. Look at him he's just a kid. He ended playing loads with Jack Bruce. Need I say more. One of the all time greats.

Not seen this before - wonderful stuff. Yes, it's raw, but wouldn't you just love to have the chance again to listen to this sort of performance from them all night long in a venue near you? It would be sweaty, noisy, packed with atmosphere and a night to remember. I saw the Stones and the Pie in 1974 and the Pie knocked spots off the Stones.

+mickavellian Fine analysis and I think you're right. Just as some counterweight: you're applying popmusic laws to rockband live performances. I must say I'm glad when I hear a 'unformatted', maybe even raw version from inspired musicians, not caring too much about what will sell and what not. When that resonates, it really resonates - albeit with a smaller target group. The truth must be somewhere inbetween as always.Besides I think the solo on Pie's "Eat It" version (side four is live) is epic. That can only happen with 'unproduced' live rockbands. I'd trade Richards intro for it anytime. (Dave "Clem" Clempson, not Frampton btw)

This is one kick ass cover , but it would never had made the charts cause there's no "groove".no dynamics. There's a old adage in music .."If the listener is not whistling or humming the tune as soon as they hear it ...forget it" Musicianship , the leave the Stones at the gate. Steve Marriot SHOULD had been a fucking R&R legend (love it how he does a Jagger strut at the beginning" but again it's not an accessible cover , can not grasp the clever lyrics or bop to the simplistic Charlie Watts drumming . THAT is why producers are needed , someone has to say GREAT BUT......The song is a CLASSIC because of the simple cow bell intro , and the choppy Richard's chords . whoow.... whoa. whoa.whoa... whoo... THAT is the song . Here you have a full steam ahead barreling train . If you didnt know the song already , you'd hear it and not even realize what the hell just happened. The FACES had a cover of Honky Tonk , and although Rod Stewart could sing the shit out of the song and Kenny Jones was a zillion times the drummer Charlie is. they kept the "meter" and it was a kick ass cover. The death of any GREAT musician is to try to sound like a GREAT musician each time out. A lotta time LESS is more.

Today's Memory

Alfred Gregory 'Greg' Ridley (23 October 1947 in Aspatria, Cumberland, England – 19 November 2003 in Alicante, Spain) was one of the more visible rock bassists in England, and a founding member of the successful rock band Humble Pie. As a teenager he became part of British rock & roll's third wave.In January 1969 Ridley was approached by Steve Marriott from the Small Faces[1] - who was forming a new band, called Humble Pie. The line up also included guitarist Peter Frampton from The Herd and drummer Jerry Shirley. Humble Pie's first album As Safe As Yesterday Is was released and a second album Town and Country was also released in the same year. A contract with A&M Records and a re-working of their sound into a harder brand of music, coupled with extensive touring of United States followed. A double album Performance Rockin' the Fillmore, featuring a now historic recording of a raw performance of rare quality, catapulted Humble Pie into rock history. Ridley's powerful bass playing anchored the band's performance and was at the centre of their sound. In addition Ridley and drummer Jerry Shirley comprised one of the most respected rhythm sections in Rock music during this period.
