Classic rock radio wouldn't SUCK nearly as bad if they played bands like these on occassion. Conquistador was a rare forgotten treat. 30 Days has always been a favorite. How many times can a person hear Sweet Home Alabama and Old Tome Rock and Roll without going postal? It doesn't help that they've added Enter Sandman and Sweet Child of Mine to their neverending cycle of unimaginative tripe to the hourly lineup. Midnight Special ROCKS. I DON'T NEED NO DOCTOR!!!!

Collectively known as The Blackberies, Venetta Fields, Sherlie Matthews and Clydie King were individually previously members of The Raelettes (Ray Charles) and The Ikettes (Ike & Tina Turner), then collectively backing vocalists for Pacific Gas & Electric, as well as working with The Supremes. The Blackberries were hired by Marriott for the album "Eat It" and tour (1973/1974). The Blackberries then went on to tour with Pink Floyd for "Dark Side Of The Moon", recorded again with Humble Pie on "Thunderbox" (1974), as well as doing a second stint for Pink Floyd`s "Wish You Were Here" tour (1975).

Stephen.Peter.Marriott!!!! That is all. We even got choreography with the Blackberries. Handsome Gary Brooker has no business looking like he should be selling insurance while singing soulfully like that. Just amazing.

I’m gonna have a ❤ Attack but will definitely die happy after seeing “ a lil’ doctor preacher ” named Steve Marriott! Humble Pie w/Greg Ridley a favorite bassist-love his cool hat, darn they’re in the pocket w/the Blackberries backup singing. “ Say Yea!!! “ Alvin Lee and “ big red “🎸oooof he’s so sexy with that bluesy voice. Gary Brookers 🤩 voice-keys skills are gorgeously exceptional. Goodness Gracious 😘 🥰 😍 What A Show!! I’m exhausted!! … Whew!! 😂 👏 👏

Humble Pie's 30 Days in the Hole performance here rivaled T Rex's Bang a Gong, or Edgar Winter's Frankenstein, in my not so humble opinion.

Absolutely amazing ... an Anglophile's dream, musically speaking. Such an incredible lineup of talent, all in their prime, tho' sadly so many of these talented musicians are no longer with us. Gary Brooker, such a class act, and isn't that Keith Reid, Procol Harum's lyricist, as the dude with the horn at 11:42 and 11:55? Also nice to see Steeleye Span with Maddy Prior dancin'.

Alvin Lee issued "On The Road To Freedom" in late '73 (with LeFevre), and this is that record's band. The other TYA members had nothing to do with it, as they were on their last legs together before '74 breakup. Nice to see Boz in post-Crimson, pre-Bad Co performance . That record's worth checking out, but don't expect TYA-type boogie. It has several guest stars on it, including Capaldi, Winwood, & Harrison.

This was the best time for music, 1967 to 80-90’s. Wish Jimi was around but these shows are great. Seen Trower live a few times in the 80’s but he was solo by this time.

Such passion in their music tonight show. Steve Marriott saw the future. Gary Brooker of Procol Harum who sang T.V. Caesar was awarded an MBE in the 2003 Queen's Birthday Honours, in recognition of his charitable services. British Folk Rock at its finest. May Steve and Gary rest in peace.
