I Don't Need No Doctor (LIVE) - Humble Pie | College Students' FIRST TIME REACTION!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

This song was not built to be pretty, influence or inspire. It was built to do one thing and one thing only: kick rock 'n' roll ass. Mission accomplished.

[@pentagrammaton6793]

Yeah and it's years ahead of its time in terms of heaviness and aggression, which is even more remarkable when this song was originally an R&B number!

[@stevenmurano7863]

dudes! first off...Rocking the Fillmore is one of THE best live rock albums EVER. the Pie is Criminally underrated....such an incredible band. Steve Marriot was a force to be reckoned with....matter of fact, Robert Plant and many others were BIG fans (before zep...when steve was in Small Faces). Next....Frampton....was like 21 when this was recorded ? kicks ASS!!! greg ridley MONSTER bassist....and jerry shirley....killer drummer. that said.....you HAVE to check out 'I'm Ready' from this album...it's a muddy waters cover. it's amazing. Starts out with steve taking us to church for teh intro, then kicks in HARD> it's one of the songs where they trade off on lead vocals, steve takes a verse, then frampton, then ridley......and it's sublime! oh...good call on recognizing frampton....unfortunately he left right after these performances...not sure he even waited until the album came out. could have been a hige blow to the band, but, the followup..... 'Smokin' is arguably their best studio album (you already heard '30 days...'. that whole album needs a listen. also..one last thing...there is a video of the Pie doing a cover of the Yardbirds song 'For Your Love' acoustically. it's amazing too...

[@judiweislo8672]

@@stevenmurano7863 I saw this concert. Steve Marriott's voice was so intense & he was a smaller stature guy, but nothing else was. Peter Frampton was amazing too. I like the song he belted out, "I want you to love me", they were so good, so sad that Steve died in a fire so young. Sigh...

[@notedrockhistorian4382]

Kick ass rock and roll is dead. What we have now is kick ass posing.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

HP are sometimes criticized for doing so many covers of soul/R&B songs. Steve said if you are going to cover a song, make it your own. 9 times out of 10 the Pie's version is much better than the original. Jerry said the reason for all the covers in concert settings is because they really kicked ass and that is what the crowds wanted. Steve and Peter were prolific writers whose originals can be found more on the albums. Peter's story of how "No Dr" came into being is very interesting, but enough for now... Chalk it up to Steve's amazing mind- a walking, breathing jukebox...

Most people don't know that when Grand Funk Railroad broke the record in 1971 for fastest Sell Out of an outdoor Concert at Shea Stadium in NY, that Humble Pie was the Opening Act...

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

I read an interview where Farnum said that when GF arrived at the stadium by helicopter, HP were already playing, Marriott out front of stage, he looked down and said the entire stadium were on their feet, rocking and literally throbbing with the Pie. The Pie often blew Grand Funk off the stage when they opened for them.

Bassist Greg Ridley was playing a Fender Precision bass through a pair of (now-legendary) Acoustic Control 361 bass stacks. Steve Marriott played a double cutaway Les Paul Jr. & Peter Frampton had a three-pickup Les Paul Custom Black Beauty, both through Marshall stacks. Jerry Shirley had a Ludwig kit.

Steve Marriott was lead singer in Small Faces (you did “Itchy Koo Park) and he predates Robert Plant by about 5 years.

YES !!! Finally some Humble Pie. It has been SOOO frustrating to see their name come up in polls and always end up near the bottom. I am convinced that it is because a large portion of your audience is too young to know who this kick ass band was. HP was tagged as one of the first "SuperGroups" by the British press when they formed. Steve Marriott (singer/guitar/harmonica/keyboards) was pop star in the amazing Small Faces (Rod Stewart &Ron Wood replaced him when he quit to form HP) who you touched on briefly and disappointingly when you featured "Itchicoo Park" which was NOT indicative to what a totally hot band they were. ( Please try again, there are so many better songs). A very young (17) Peter Frampton played lead guitar (that was him in the solo), was a teen idol from the pop group Herd, Greg Ridley was a VERY respected bass player from the group Spooky Tooth, and lastly drummer Jerry Shirley, only 16 had been mentored by Marriott since he was discovered at 14! These guys were hardly one hit wonders. While they were together 1969-75, they put out 7 studio and 2 live albums, did 22 tours of the US, selling out stadiums up to 250,000 (in Hyde Park where they supported Grand Funk, but blew them totally off the stage!). The pie were a group that was much better live than in studio due to the amazing talent and charisma of Steve Marriott. Do not say he sounds like Robert Plant - it is Robert Plant who sounds like Steve Marriott! Robert was famously a huge fan of Small Faces, and followed them around when they played. When asked if he was influenced by Steve Marriott, Robert replied " I wanted to f**king BE Steve Marriott !! Steve was greatly admired by his peers and singers like Plant, Daltry and Bowie among others have stated that Steve was the best soul/rock singer Great Britain ever produced! PLEASE give Small Faces another chance. I recommend "You Need Loving" (1966). You will be shocked at the vocals as another later group copied them (but rocked it up) for their hit "Whole Lotta Love"! i'm sure you will get plenty of suggestions from Pie fans. I would recommend "I Wonder" or" Hot and Nasty". If you cover "Black Coffee", please use the live video from Old Grey Whistle test as it is MUCH better than the studio version. Otherwise you will hear about it from your fans I'm sure!!! Sorry to go on so long. I am a huge fan (if it's not obvious!) (-:

[@ghichens3418]

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

@@davidhattman7649 Yes, you are correct. Allow me to clarify - Peter met Steve when he was 17 (in 1968) and Steve was very impressed by Peter's skills and wanted to add Peter to the Small Faces in order to "fatten up" their sound and give him a break to concentrate on singing. The other 3 said NO. That, and other reasons like "creative differences' with his songwriting partner Ronnie Lane, caused Steve to quit the SF's and join with Peter, Jerry Shirley (who was just 16 then) and Greg Ridley to form Humble Pie. This recording was in 1971, so they were all several years older. Still amazing how much talent these young guys had.

FACTS

[@troidva]

Steve Marriott's vocal style was a real influence on Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant, who used to follow Small Faces around to their gigs in the mid-60s. Check out Marriott on some of his great songs with Small Faces, especially the proto-hard rockers "I've Got Mine" (1965) and "Tin Soldier" (1967). Also try the mellower & psychedelic "Song of the Baker" from 1968. The full power of Marriot's controlled, melodic screaming is best heard on his live version of "Black Coffee" with Humble Pie--backed up by The Blackberries--that he performed live on the British show :The Old Grey Whistle Test."

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Thank you for reminding me what a great band Humble Pie was!

[@luciusmalou4906]

This was the right one. People saying otherwise are spouting nonsense and likely weren't around. This got major radio play and put Humble Pie on the map. It sounded particularly great on an 8-Track in a late '60s muscle car while burning rubber.

[@ronforeman2556]

Still hard to believe that, by the time this album was released, Peter Frampton had quit the band to pursue a solo career.

[@alrivers2297]

[@luciusmalou4906]

@@daveguitarnowski4402 The Chevy Vega must have been the crappiest American car ever built, even brand new straight off the lot. The only rubber burning was the engine. Lol!

[@daveguitarnowski4402]

@@luciusmalou4906 I can't disagree. It was a cool little car when I got it, until the aluminum block engine started to warp and just drain oil, as they all did. Plenty of room for hauling band equipment though, so it served well for the nearly 3 years I had it. till it had to be junked. At 5 years of age. Maybe only 4, lol

[@dean828]

Yes, Greg Ridley (Ex- Spooky Tooth) played a Fender P-Bass and used Ampeg stacks... he had a killer singing voice as well... the guitars were both Gibson Les Paul's... Jerry Shirley (Drums) was 19 when this was recorded... let that sink in...

[@peterbellini6102]

When the crowd roars near the end, you are hearing why rockers do what they do; why they HAVE to do what they do!

[@XCaliKev]

👍😎 Great song, Great performance. Saw them early 80’s. A piece of trivia for ya. The song Sheamus on Meddle is Steve Marriott’s dog. David Gilmore would watch Steve’s dog. He noticed that it would howl as he played guitar or harmonica. Recorded it to show Steve. 🖖 (did Sheamus get royalties?)

[@tswanstrom2000]

The best bit of trivia so far this year. And of course Sheamus deserved royalties - Throw him a bone!

[@seiraeiramasil2302]

When Listening to Steve Marriot in this song, you would not think that it is the same person in the group "The Small Faces" singing the song "Itchycoo Park", it's just so insanely different!

[@kurtschau5768]

The late, great Ray Charles did this originally although his version is nothing like Humble Pie's. Steve Marriot was a legend on stage and this whole album is on my list of 'must listen to' albums of the 70s. Check out Beth Hart's version of this if you have time - she has the power to bring this song to life. But thanks for doing this awesome, awesome, performance.

LOVE Humble Pie! My favorite (and perhaps everyone's favorite) is "30 Days in the Hole". Steve Marriott was such an amazing singer -- perfect for the songs they sang. Also check out "Black Coffee" -- such fun!

[@kel9591]

Rockin' the Filmore yes!

[@e84harrison77]

I use this song an auditory palate cleanser. Whenever I’ve had too much of modern pop music I just put this on and I’m ready to listen to more rock going forward.

[@WRRHalum]

Jeff Beck Group was my palate cleanser for quite the time

[@jtaylorstudios]

To me, that is blues rock perfection. Frampton is one of my all time favorite guitarists and his back up vocal blends so well with Marriot. I saw Frampton 2 years ago and he played this as his encore. Still plays and sounds the same.

[@trooperrussharrison]

Little Stevie Marriott died way too young, and too sad. Saw them many times back in the day. Great memories. Find Black Coffee on the OGWT,,, and enjoy.

[@69zenos1]

I saw that same show TWICE in 1970 and 1971 in Detroit. My FIRST big time rock concert at 15 years old. My life was changed. And then MOUNTAIN came on after them.

[@Shadowrider1872]

If you've NEVER seen a show at The Fillmore in SF, you're MISSING OUT! Seen a few being a SF guy. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@geckho]

@Thomas Bell I was there in '03 for a show....

[@richdiddens4059]

The closing week of the Fillmore had some of the best music of the San Francisco sound, including some of the local bands that never made the national scene. Much of it's here on the 'Tube.

[@Shadowrider1872]

@Thomas Bell Saw Smashing Pumpkins there in 2012. It WAS closed for awhile and then redone and opened again. The Fillmore is ALIVE.

[@corvus1374]

Stevie Marriott was the lead singer of The Small Faces (because they were all short), until he left and they picked up Ron Wood and Rod Stewart and changed their name to The Faces. While Stevie was with them, they recorded Itchykoo Park, Lazy Sunday, and Tin Soldier. Some great music.

[@ultraslowhand]

THE BEST LIVE ALBUM EVER RECORDED. PERIOD.

[@ronforeman2556]

Deep Purple's "Made In Japan" is the "Best Live Album Ever Recorded," but Humble Pie's "Performance: Rockin' the Fillmore" ranks right up there. Tough call between the latter and "Band of Gypsys," the greatest Hendrix album of his too-brief career.

[@ultraslowhand]

@@ronforeman2556 yes, Made In Japan is pretty good. But I still prefer this one.

[@custom55]

Great album for sure but I'd vote for Live at Leeds

[@stratocruising]

I'd have to say Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East, with 22 minutes of Whipping Post. Nothing at all wrong with the other records mentioned.

Robert Plant used to sit front row and watch Steve Marriott. Robert sounds like Steve, not the other way around. Check out Small Faces’ You Need Loving for Exhibit A

[@benavich8]

Guys - so glad you played this...I was one of the ones who recommended this a while back, like many others. I was one of the lucky ones who saw these guys rip this off, Cobo Areba, Detroit, Dec. 7, 1973, with Montrose as the backup. Thar's right, 48 years ago tomorrow! $6.50. One of the best concerts I've ever been to, and I've been to a few. As a long time bass player, that was the late Greg Riddley banging on his P-bass with the legendary Acoustic 360 heads into 2 of the 1-18" 301 cabs. My first bass amp was an Acoustic...very popular in the early to mid 70's along with SVT and a few others. Speaking of Montrose, boys, you have to play a couple of tunes off that first LP of theirs, because I'm telling you right now, they were just as potent as HP during that show, no joke. Again, so glad you played this. Four Day Creep or Stone Cold Fever also great from the live LP.

[@HamiltonRb]

Now you are taking me way back to 70 or 71. I saw them at the Beggars Banquet Festival in Toronto with Black Sabbath, Three Dog Night & Steel River. Deadly show, what I can remember of it.

[@mtzoar]

this album came out when i was in 8th grade and i have been listening to it ever since. this is probably my favorite song on the album, but then again there is stone cold fever... anyway thanks for helping us through a monday in december!

In the name of God review I'm Ready from the same album.Its so great you'll review it for the entire week. The whole album is a banger, arguably the best live rock album ever, but I'm Ready is on a different level,. FYI Steve Marriott was in The Small Faces before he was in PIe. Keep up the good work lads!

[@lynnehatton1239]

'Natural Born Boogie', timeless track by a supergroup!! Brilliant vocals all round.

[@marcribe6483]

During a party in late 1968, Steve Marriot from Small Faces and Peter Frampton from The Herd started talking about the down side of being portrayed by the media almost exclusively as a pretty face heart throb teen idol. How in their minds, that angle overshadows they're personal musical prowess and undermines all they inspire to achieve as musicians. By the end of they're conversation, they had decided to work together. First Marriot tried to add him to the Small Faces line-up, which did not go well with the other members. In the end, it became the birth of Humble Pie.

When Steve Marriott left the Small Faces, it took Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood to replace him. A giant. I was in HS when this came out...in a band. We called this band "The Fuckin' Pie"

[@Scaramousche1955]

The guitar solos...1&2 Peter Frampton, 3 Steve Marriot . Marriot was also the lead singer. Background singers were Frampton and Greg Ridley, the bass player. Just 4 guys balls to the wall.

You pegged it Andy. Peter Frampton was with Humble Pie for this show. I wasn't at the Fillmore show but saw them a few months later on that tour. One of the best concerts I ever saw.
