STEVE MARRIOTT - Walking The Dog / Tin Soldier

[@glenngamst61]

Steve Marriott was a consummate bluesman! What a talent.

[@tonyvincent9753]

The best frontman I ever saw... Steve Marriott

[@danielpenney9077]

That boy Steve got some Soul!!

[@neil1390]

A real rocker , to the end, the word legend is thrown around too much,he was a true legend,and an important part of the British rock scene, never sold out on his beliefs, should never be forgotten

[@AliG-xh1jm]

God ....what passes for a rock star these days. Marriott was THE MAN!

[@brian6078]

We still have the old records of all the great bands. What we need are talent scouts who have the same standards. Problem is we would not have many records getting produced. All we would have are a bunch of musicians trying and trying.....................till it hurts; and hearing the words SORRY KEEP PRACTICING So many of the new ones today get away with the help of computers, generated help for their voices that's sounds like shit, and live shows where they remove their clothing or else? We still have many of the great older musicians but every year we have less and less. This year alone hurt with the loss of Tom Petty and Gord Downie .Grady Tate.

Wife and I were at this concert. I'd known Steve for a couple of years, after he came back to England. Unequalled vocals, guitar, and song writing straight from the heart. Nice guy, but a bit of a nutter, a few beers and smokes with him, and some good times. Thanks for the music. (My personal favourite, Wrist Job.)

[@annmcdonald6180]

David Hunt agree, he was unique. RIP Steve

[@stevejones466]

[@mojohnnysteedland4149]

Nice tribute, honest, great talent, but a bit of a nutter as said. Some ppl have too much energy, but getting ripped off all his life and the gear can’t have helped. Was in uk in 89/90 and wanted to go to his mean fiddler acoustic shows - red balloon, autumn stone… nuff said. But I missed them. Around that time I came home pissed and fell asleep with a zippo or a tailormade (normally smoke rollies) woke up in hallway, place burning down. He snuffs it similar way soon after. Didn’t realise til years after. Butterfly effect, family curse. Would have loved to have seen him play a few shows with the Stones and blow Brenda off the stage 😂

A tragedy cut his life short. Who knows what would've happened had he lived. However, he sang with as much passion and grit and became a better guitar-player, year after year, until we lost him. SHINE ON!

[@tremoloreverb]

Being a lifelong Marriott fan, I find his vocals in this time (mid-80) as being abrasive, overused and tired, mainly because he gigged so much, nothing as pure as his vocals in late Faces days and Humble Pie, his height vocally. But his guitar playing had developed to a world class status. In early Small faces days he was a gifted novice, able to fill the sound with 3 or 4 basic chords, well- done but he learned as he went. By Humble Pie days, he learn so much working around Frampton and Clempson, that he actually surpassed them with his natural talents. In the mid-80s to his death, he had become a world class guitarist, covering for his worn out vocal chords. It's all good though. He'll always be an ace in my eyes.

[@erickozlow5220]

Some critic you are douche bag Marriott was never in the faces

[@spitmahoney1153]

@@erickozlow5220 douche bag Marriott was never in the Small Faces, but Steve Marriott was.

[@georgecav]

Agree with all that. Singing is still gloriously visceral at this stage but worn and strained. Guitar playing also visceral and glorious

[@roberthayter157]

Can't argue with that. In the early days his singing is more melodic. Here his vocals have a rough edge and have lost nuance.

[@laragio]

And we got stuck with Rod Stewart. Life ain't fair.

[@colinmartin2921]

I think that the key is that Steve never sold out, but Rod was always showbiz.

[@robertcjonesesq8241]

That made me laugh, the Marriott estate should sue…anyway what a show, love Steve, he should be on the school curriculum so every child is aware of this talent

[@jezebeljones659]

This is only my theory, but those hair metal bands of the 80s, most of whom I couldn't stand, usually featured lead vocalists who seemed to be copying Steve Marriott's vocals and delivery. The difference between those goofs and their incoherent shrieking and Steve? First and foremost, he's a triple-threat; singer, songwriter, stunning lead guitarist. Second, he's genuine and not phony like those teased-hair spandex-legged caricatures. And you could make out the words he sang. That's style, originality, taste, brains -- he had it all. And he was always truly confident and not putting on some dopey "cocky" act. He was the real thing, and those clowns were just cookie-cuttter knockoffs of greater musicians who'd gone before, IMHO. -luv, Jezzie!

[@dunstan96]

Steve's the star but the bass is the foundation on which the whole performance hinges

[@gerhardanton8759]

as 1950-iger the Small Faces are in my Blood... ...

[@1984sebb]

As good as Steve was here, this is sad to see. He's in his late 30s and he'd been reduced to playing tiny gigs whilst wearing dungarees. He should have been touring stadiums and making a lot of money, like The Who and the The Stones were..

[@frereanaktom99]

best concerts are small venues - especially for real music fans

[@1984sebb]

My comment did not concern the benefit of fans. It was about Steve. He should have been a rich man. He was treated very badly. And I believe it aged him prematurely, both physically and mentally...

[@powderfinger6597]

I agree. Steve should have been a huge star and not reduced to playing bars in the early '80's. However, Steve and Frampton were working on new material at the time of Marriot's death and I think Steve was on his way up again as younger fans were introduced to Mr. Marriot's music.

[@marshall2150]

The Dungarees are a blues "affectation" that he probably picked up whilst living in Atlanta late seventies / early eighties. Fact is that even Humble Pie did not get their just financial rewards - the money apparently went into other peoples pockets. But that is a frequent and recurring occurrence in the "Music Industry".

[@philipperholland]

considering alone how shamelessly led zep's whole lotta love ripped off his vocal.. he got short shrift..

[@michaelsena4484]

I Believe Steve Marriott damn good musician I'm really proud I got to see him in 1973 with the blackberries humble pie Wednesday night wishbone Ash and Friday night was Led Zeppelin the faces with Rod Stewart in charge I came the next week man water show near as good as humble pie Led Zeppelin's music went on and on and on that cute it always does and they are posers I'm up I tore it up and they were great and believe me a store with a basis with insane d Gray I never saw so many boobs in my life

He sounds great when he sings softly. That distorted, blown out scream don't work so good. It just sounds painful and should have been used more sparingly. So I believe, wtf do I know?

[@MrLaurak12]

I'm a huge marriot fan and I agree totally. I don't know why his voice deteriorated when it was , in my opinion , the prettiest and most versatile around. It seems that his lower register was still good- just the high stuff didn't go anymore

[@JohnHoulgate]

@@PatrickTowers The credited songwriter for Walking the Dog was Rufus Thomas. To be real here, the Small Faces never came to America, so technically, they were not part of the British Invasion. In fact, I don't think the Small Faces ever got any airplay in the US until after the band had changed its name to the Faces. It would have been cool if they were part of the invasion, but that didn't happen. They were one of the UK's best-kept secrets.
