| Ask any 70s rock fan to put on a classic live album and the chances are very high they'll pull out Humble Pie's seminal "Performance - Rockin' the Fillmore" LP. Billed as a supergroup from their beginnings in 1969, they chose their moniker as an escape from that tag, but during the classic Pie years of 69-75 they more than lived up to it. At their best playing live, that famous live LP was their most successful: Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton's guitar styles complementing & contrasting perfectly - Steve's hard edged rhythm & licks; and Peter's more jazz inflected lead. Humble Pie were exemplary exponents of blues-drenched hard rock, but with a huge added dose of Marriott's real musical penchant - soul. This gave them a unique sound and set them apart from other 70s rock contemparies. They could (and frequently did) take an obscure soul or R&B tune and absolutely cover the life out of it, jamming it out, changing it and improvising until what they had created became essentially their own composition. The band was blessed with four great musicians who were all multi-instrumentalists and in possession of great singing voices - indeed Pie's early trademark was turntaking in the vocal department - but surely Steve's voice must go down in history as the most soulful white man's rock voice ever. How he could scream, wail, split octaves and then take it down into unheard depths of moaning blues-saturated anguish. | |
