Back in the 70's if you were a rock and roll listener you would have heard "I Don't Need No Doctor" on the radio all the time. It came from an incredible album called "Performances" recorded at the Fillmore. When "Smokin" came out there wasn't another band that could touch them for blues rock n roll. Unfortunately by the time they made big Frampton was long gone. Jerry Shirley put out a book a few years ago called "Best Seat in the House" and it covers the Humble Pie years. It's a must have for a look into their work. Great lesson Dave. Thanks!

Humble Pie is one of my favorite also. Agree that Jerry's book is a fun backstage look at the band, it's members and the sad business with managers and record execs. Another excellent book came out a year or two ago - "All or Nothing: the Steve Marriott story" by Simon Spence. Utterly fascinating deep dive into a unique, uber talented, but very troubled soul. I hated parts of it as it did not show my hero Marriott in a very good light, but he was an enigma, and ultimately his own worse enemy, and also beloved by many in spite of sometimes being a "sod"! RIP dear man, thank you for giving it your all..💔

That was released in 1966, about 2 years before LZ were even conceived and a young Robert Plant was acting as the Small Faces gopher!

In an interview, Steve Marriott said these great musicians were horrified when the British Music Press labeled them a "Supergroup". He said after that, there was no where to go but down and they hadn't even had the chance to perform and "earn their chops". He said they chose the name "Humble Pie" to show people that THEY didn't think they were a Supergroup.
