To me, Humble Pie were so organic they were better live than recorded or simply jamming and improvising. I mean, what they did with "For Your Love" was incredibly cool and chilled. Steve's voice is biblical, and the group mega talented. It's such a privilege to watch real artists play. Perfectly executed, spot on Fil.

Thank you so much Fil. I'm a little obsessed by Steve Marriot. I can't believe he is not more of a household name. Other than his obvious talent, I love his generosity and connection to the music. You rarely see him hog the limelight. You can see his focus is getting the best performance out there and he wants to share that experience with the most people he can. With a band strong enough to match him, their live performances were just something truly special. Always the Artful Dodger, you couldn't help but love Steve, faults and all.

[@allenf.5907]

I always thought that he was ahead of the curve and not on it and thus doesn't get the stardom recognition but a TON of cred. Fil even mentions it here with the search for his sound with Led Zeppelin.

Hands down, my favorite singer of all time. Okay, I lied, sometimes Sam Cooke is my favorite. Although I will say, I think vocally Steve was at his prime in his Small Faces days.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

I also love Steve's voice when he was in Small Faces - stunning, it sometimes gave me goosebumps. Although I also love Humble Pie, I don't understand why Steve seems to have purposely changed his voice and singing style. In his book, Kenney Jones (drummer Small Faces) also disapproves, saying he felt Steve sang that way as he may have felt that was the way a rocker was supposed to sound. Still, Steve is my all time favorite singer. No one sings the blues/soul/rock the way Steve does. RIP

[@colinmartin2921]

@@cindyfalstrom7231 I always wondered if it was cocaine that damaged Steve's voice. He evolved into a high-pitched shouter that just grates on me.

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

@@colinmartin2921 I think it is very likely that Steve's vices - heavy smoker, snorting cocaine, heavy drinking, generally abusing his little body took a toll on his voice .Even he admitted that he had to stop singing songs like "Hot and Nasty" because he couldn't hit the high notes any more. However it may be the "high pitched shouter" that offends you may be a style choice as well. Steve sang in so many different voices - its hard to believe the same guy sang Itchicoo Park and I Don't Need No Dr. Steve himself said that once something becomes formula, he gets bored with it and wants to change it all up. I love Steve as an artist, but must agree that I don't like everything he did. I did not like his "James Brown Funky" period that began with "Eat It" album, however, after the Pie split up and Steve went solo, did some very soulful blues songs. The following is one of my favorites from his first solo album "Marriott": kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXa3qWZpnLSlo8U Help Me Through The Day Steve Marriott

Met Steve back in 80 when they played in MI. Just so happens my cousin was a bartender at the bar in the hotel the band stayed in. She needed couple days off to go out of town and asked if I could fill in for her, so I did. Was really slow night and he walked in and sat down ordering a cubra libre in thick Brit accent. Not some heard at all around Detroit, British accent or a rum and coke ordered that way! Took a couple repeats, we both laughed after I figured out what the hell he wanted. Just me and him in bar so we had pretty good talk and he went to play and I found out next day they got kicked out for trashing the hotel, lol. But nice guy, and we had pretty good talk while there. Night I won't forget. Would've liked to party with him a bit but I was about 7 mos. pregnant at time so had to be good! But a great memory. RIP Steve.

You want to talk 'intensity' in vocals? Nobody even came close to Marriott. He even had a lot more going for him than just sheer vocal ferocity and almost unhinged expressiveness. Plant in "Since I've been... "? Sure, it might have brought us just a touch more light and shade, Dewar in "Bridge of sighs"? perhaps a bucketload of genuinely majestic poetic gravitas, but for me, even the iconic Rodgers, flawless as ever in "All right now", was just another Mariott bereft of that signature Stevie tsunami of wonderfully over the top excessive vocal onslaught. Incomparable magic.

I have seen countless groups such as the Who, Led Zep, Bebop Deluxe, 10 years after, Johnny Winter, Grand Funk, Journey, Jeff Beck, Cactus & literally hundreds more. There was a group of us from Yonkers who were very, very fortunate enough to be in the front row ( the tix were less that 7 dollars a piece back in the day). You can actually hear us on the live Fillmore album during Walk on Guilded Splinters with my friend's wine bottle rolling down the aisle. My jaw literally hit the ground at the way these four put together such an incredible sound. Also saw them at the Academy of Music several times as well as other venues & they were always incredible. I was very saddened by the loss of two of the founding members Marriott & Ridley but am so thankful I was able to experience what I consider the best of the best.

Hey Phill! I enjoy your videos a great deal and I'm chuffed you're featuring Humble Pie!! My older brother was into them and at about the age of 12 or 13, I became a big fan of "The Pie" too. Probably the 1st band I ever loved, in fact. Around the same time, I was listening to The Faces. Of course, there's a connection there, right? There's a further connection from that Humble Pie/Small Faces/Faces contingent to the Who, when the great Kenney Jones replaced the departed Moonie! Let's not forget that Ronnie Wood migrated from that same bunch to become a Rolling Stone!

Humble Pie was a great band! I wore out the albums Rock On, Rockin the Fillmore, Smokin' & Eat it! Played them constantly. Steve's voice always got to me! Powerful with that killer vibrato! So damn soulful! Frampton and the entire band just ROCKED! EXCELLENT demo Fil! Anytime your guitar comes out is ear candy for me. Great analysis! Thanks for that tasty piece of Humble Pie! 😎🎼🎶🎵🍔🇨🇦

Great harmonicist, nice conversation with the guitar.

I saw the Pie in the mid 70s. These guys came into Nashville, kicked our butts then left. They were the Real Deal. The thing I remember most is Marriott strutting across the stage. He'd throw his head straight back and spit in the air. Ah...the Cockney Rebel I thought to myself ( I thought that sounded a bit English ). No offence to anyone . Another song of theirs I dig is Black Coffee. Hard to believe Steve is the same guy singing Itchycoo Park in that video (love that song). Thx again Phil. RIP Steve Marriott...

Steve Marriott was SO high, but my God, he could sing. You could feel him in your soul. Terrible tragic loss.
