After the departure of Mick Taylor in 1975 from the Rolling Stones, Marriott was considered as his replacement; however, Mick Jagger blocked the move after Marriott acted like a frontman, and upstaged Jagger. According to Ronnie Wood, Marriott was Richards' first choice to replace Taylor.
Saw in a documentary that The reason he left humble pie was that he felt he was not a good enough guitarist, may be what we’re watching here is what he worked on after humble pie, and became a lot better but I always thought it was good anyhow… Amazing how Authentically these guys play the American blues
I listen to them all. Joe bonamassa , Steve Ray Vaughan, Clapton. Etc. But I always come back to this live performance by. Steve Marriott , being a devoted Jazz and blues fan for the last 50 odd years this is the best . The voice , and the flawless blues guitar. I would go as far to say that he makes Garry Clarke jn look and sound like an amatur
Brilliant frontman! Brilliant guitarist! Brilliant singer with soul and guts! One of the most outstanding talents British music ever had, from a pint- sized geezer! Surely one of the most underrated and sadly, shamelessly ripped-off artists of all time!!! Totally love this guy, his decline was outrageous! Talent like this is priceless. Just imagine if he ,instead of being in the Small Faces , much as I loved them, had wound up in The Yardbirds. How things could've been so different . This sort of talent is shoulder to shoulder with any Yardbird intern. The Small Faces were beautifully original and innovative! Humble Pie were a force of nature. To have fortunately seen Humble Pie ( 70's) and then Steve solo at The Royal Standard in Walthamstow New Years Eve late 80's is a decline that should never have happened in my opinion. Steve Marriott is someone who should be in the Rock 'n Roll Hall Of Fame no question. A talent that sadly we will never see the like again!! God love this fabulously talented man!!! R.I.P Steve!!!❤️🤘🎸
@@richirich3916 ......and already showed signs of schizophrenia by early 70's, towards end of marriage to Jenny Rylance, but she got the best years with him. Gone far too soon. In Steve Marriott's own favorite saying, "Nice"!
And..... In my opinion...... His audition for a new band, called, led zeppilin Should have gone through, His vocals are better than Robert plants, which plant admitted.
All very true! Steve's vocal range and diversity was truly amazing. Developed as a child and worked at the craft his entire career. As a guitarist, his time was the 1970's on. He was considered a little limited in his playing during the 60's Small Faces. There were better choices at the time for the Yardbirds. He worked hard and by Humble Pie he'd arrived. One of the best. He did go into the Hall with Small Faces 2012.
I'm here to tell you that Steve Marriott is THE great unsung hero of English music. Not only was he a GREAT guitarist -he is rightfully remembered as an excellent songwriter -and is thoroughly un-appreciated as such (back me Noel). He was/is an amazing singer as well. Just an all-around legend who is unrealized and un-heralded. I love him -always. Ogden's Nut-Gone-Flake is a work of GENIUS.
I agree with Julian T. SM never got the credit he deserved for his talent. He was one of the first “Mods” in theUK, but he was such a student of American blues. His acoustic song with The Pie, “Every Mother’s Son” was as good a rural Mississippi blues balled as anyone from Mississippi could do!
Marriott was the REAL DEAL.. Had more Musical Talent in the toe nail on his little toe then Most of these so called music stars today have got all put together, whilst having an extra lifetime to think about it. Say no more.
Hell yes! Just listen to Humble Pie Rockin' the Fillmore. He and Frampton get into some serious interlocking guitar jams. Great stuff for guitar fans...
Unbelievably, i have only really started listening to Steve this year. I've been flawed. I was born in 70 but never got into the Faces or Humble Pie. Did have the latter in aplay list tho. Discovering this has been mine blowing and sharing it with friends is just great. What a genius with music ruining though his veins and whole existence. When you see his interviews he's such a down to earth and tiny guy! She sounds that comes out of him is just nuts! I truly believe there needs to be a biopic about him, as he is seriously one the greatest talents the UK had and seems very unknown by most. The way he plays and sings blues is out of this world. Black coffee live with Bob Harris at the end, on here - with the Blackberries just blew my mind. Such a tragedy what happened to him. Genius
To think, he underestimated his own guitar work. The man was an insanely talented musician and jaw dropping vocalist and eye catching performer. RIP Beautiful man.💖
Such tasty classy melodic and deeply thoughtful playing here by Steve..... just brilliant. We swapped guitars in 1967 (i think it was), he loved my beaten up sunburst Telecaster so he gave me his pink 59 Les Paul for it, both are on you tube vids. Then i did the sound engineering on the 1978 Small Faces Reunion Tour, great crazy good fun time was had by all. He and i sat up all one night in my hotel room until dawn, exchanging r&r and life stories, after a gig in Germany...... he gave me a harmonica which still works great and i absolutely treasure it. What a really lovely great fun guy. Rip dear Steve👍❤🎸🇬🇧
Those that dislike this music may not truly be blues fans. Because it don’t get any better than this. There are many great blues guitarist (SRV) and Eric Clapton to name a couple. This dude is right there with them.
Saw Steve Marriott back in 1988 in a local pub, the Archery in Eastbourne, (been pulled down now.) fronting a blues outfit. I think they were the DJ's. Not sure. One of the best gigs I ever went to. Pub was packed out band were good and Steve was just great....and I think the ticket was a fiver!!
I got to see him once. Steve Marriott All Stars at the Long Beach Arena...probably 1979? Amazing show...also on the Bill was Robin Trower who just stands there. Blew him off the stage in terms of entertainment value. And yeah SM was a great guitar player too. Bit that voice...unmatched and completely unique!
I’m watching this for the first time and even though I loved humble pie, I cannot even imagine why Steve had other guitar players in his bands. he always had the absolute depth of the blues and what he wanted to project. I’m sad. I never got to see him live.
Humble Pie Fillmore East May 1971 the 2nd night. was there and (don't remember how I got home but) I do remember this Musician Excellent brings me way way back
@@stevenhendry841 I have...what I noticed is how much he IMPROVED when he played w Frampton in HP. IMHO he sounds better rockin that Epiphone and Gibson than when he was in the Faces playing Gretsch n Tele. He also expanded, blew more harp n played is B3 organ.
It is such a shame we lost Steve at such an incredible time in his life. Can you imagine where he would have gone? A large number of musicians are legends, like Stevie Ray Vaughn, but Marriott was SO innovative he could make old stuff sound new and new stuff was beyond. Incredible talent like Rory Gallagher.
Saw him in 83 at the electric cowboy festival in Columbia Tennessee. Inxs canceled. Steve Marriott filled in. They rolled him out on a stool in a full leg cast. It was one of the most memorable performances I've ever seen. What a voice!
Great blues guitarist but Steve Marriot also is one of the best blues singers in the world!!! Just love that raspy whiskey voice and his blues vocal interpretation. 🎸🌟👍
What a legend! I’m rediscovering this guy. Listened to Tin Soldier and Itchycoo Park back in my teen years and heard the first one again recently. Grabbed my guitar and learned to play it. Great song, intro, chord progression, middle etc. No-one can match his voice and performance. He started his first band when he was 12! Dude! He was rockin’ it at 16 and writing great songs in his teens. Rock on Mr Marriott, where ever you are!
I was lucky to see Steve many times and he always gave his all. His talent was unlimited but to me his performances were tinged with sadness because of what he could have achieved. I could have cried when I saw him perform with "The Packet of three" at the Buddle in Wallsend which only held 150 people max. I know the lady who ran the venue and and she told me that she first met Steve when he was having a cup of tea with the cleaners. She told me that he was just a smashing bloke with no ego whatsoever. He is sadly missed!
I'm proud to remember that a young Stevie - showed me my first lick - he'd learnt from 'Jeff' the day before at some gig. Steve showed me how to play the Scotty Moore lick over an open E chord - all down at J60's in Manor Park. God Bless him
Aaron Woolley i knew Steve from 86’ onwards ( my flatmate rich newman was playing drums for him. Steve showed me how he set his amps up ( i play guitar).. grear memories , a funny man , quick witted and wise , always passed some knowledge on somehow. Unbeleivable singer and guitarist. As you say , God bless him.
@@humbuck59 we were good friends - i'd go down to J60s on a Saturday drawl at all the guitars - STEVE worked there - always had his sunburst Tele with him - I was 15/16 - and he'd show me stuff in-between serving customers. I bought my first real guitar - a Cherry red 335 from him - my Dad went guarantor . I had a band - the other guys were all close to 20 - we'd play at the local youth club once a month on a Monday nite and get 5 pound for the whole band :) We were setting up to play one particular Monday - Steve and his band came up to us - asked if they could do the gig instead of us - but we keep the money They had a single coming out in about a month and were off on a Sheffield area tour (North England) - They played - That was the VERY first Small Faces gig - and we got the 5 quid :) - they were just amazing !! - truly electric - and what a voice. A month later they were in the charts 'Watcha Gonna Do Bout it' and the rest is history - sadly never saw him again to chat. I still have a Hofner pick he gave me
The guys playing in the band are like "how lucky are we???" Marriott was an absolute monster and humble pie in their prime were an amazing live band. Such a shame bad managers constantly ripped him off his whole career.
you see - few thumbs for your comment. people not always smart!..... col parker; norman petty. shitehouse businessmen always messing with artists. oh well.. you and i know the score and can at least tell a few of the next generation.
Totally stunned - what have I MISSED? Thougt I knew Steve, as the most outragious singer from the sixties and so on.... stage animal…. never knew he was such a great bluesguitarist. I mean GREAT....
What a talent Steve was, I did'nt realise he was THAT superb a guitar player, I seem to remember that at one time he considered giving up playing because he thought he was'nt good enough, WHAAAAAT !!!!!
Today is the 26th anniversary of his death and I never heard this track or saw this performance before, I always thought of Marriott for his vocals in the Small Faces and Humble Pie, and saw a few interviews where others suggest that he wasn't a confident or accomplished guitarist. This definitely shows what a great guitarist and musical force he was. And how sad it is that he isn't around. He's the true mod father and so much more. I'm glad to have lived within living memory of him, Plonk and Mac.
Steve was not just a Blues Scholar... he was a Doctor in Bluesology and had enough black heart in him to know exactly where the blues hurt the most. Incomparable!!!
We desperately need someone like him today. Everyone is manufactured to hell and there is no heart in music these days. Instant fame has taken the guts & soul out of music, everyone's at it so there no-one special any more. Maybe I'm just getting old. Hell! I am old!!!
Actually the closest band out there that i've heard that comes close to them are the Black Crows . Check out their song Black Betty and you'll be hooked , you will then want to listen to alot more of them . Happy listening . Peace .
billbluez Black Crowes and The Fabulous Thunderbirds both had that soul. after that, not any real ideas come to mind. and that is a sad sad thing, indeed.
Brenda Mayne have a look on here for a british blues/rock band called king king Brenda,you might be pleasantly surprised Brenda,they on fire at the moment and fantastic live
This guy was The guy. Most the top vocalist nor guitar players could Touch this dude. He was a force..page,Clapton,towhnsend, those boys couldn’t Touch this guy..and they knew it. .
Forget all the tattoos, the silly costumes, the histrionics.... Stevie is up there in farmer johns totally killing it. There will never be rock musicians like him ever again.
his blues playing is extraordinary ... must say I'm a bit surprised after listening to mostly his solid rock guitar all these years, but like they say, it all comes from the blues ..
I've never seen this clip before. Steve Marriott has just become one of my favorite blues guitarists of all time. The tone coming from that guitar in his hands is just... Whoa!!! I'm reeling from the impact of what I've just heard.
Best Brit soul singer ever and my favourite musician of all time! I have (almost) every bit of plastic he has released. In the Humble Pie days I have seen him described as a guitar maestro but, in truth, his guitar playing was always just good solid support of Frampton and especially Clempson, (who is himself grossly underestimated). I saw the Pie many times live between '69 and '75 then in their various guises, Marriott's All Stars etc for a few years after. He was always amazing onstage. Freddy Mercury used to hold the audience spellbound in his hand during his solo "Day-oh-ee-da-day" solo spot, but I've seen Marriott do the same audience interaction years before filling a huge hall while standing in front of his mike stand singing unamplified! It seems that Steve had real confidence in his vocal abilities but was a little doubting of his guitar playing. Well here is Marriott doing what he always wanted to, showing that at last he is up there with the best of them on guitar, and still way beyond them on vocals. This is utterly AWESOME! It's a true masterclass of how to play electric blues guitar and sing. How sad he had to go when he was at last reaching this degree of skill. Genuine soul like this is found in only a select few each generation. "Bald headed fat little has been"? Couldn't be further from the truth Steve!
This is quite possibly the best version of this song EVER RECORDED!!! That voice, that guitar-playing, and emotion(stage presence) are all superb! Today we are treated to mindless dicks who "sample", read steal, others' work. SM was a true virtuoso!
Back in those days, an average pop band could not play very good. Steve Marriott could play, sing and compose at the master class. He was a master. R.I.P.
Now they can´t play at all, only use machines.

Steve Marriot and Alvin Lee, the most underrated guitarrists ever.!!
What a devastating display of rock prowess. His blues playing is without a doubt as good as any I've ever heard.
I saw him in Humble Pie & was blown away but didn’t realize he had these guitar chops, this is the blues to R & R invention here!
This clip leaves no doubt Steve was more than a singer songwriter he was top blues guitarist just phenomenal !!!

Sadly I only discovered him after his death, but I am glad I did.
+HungryHumbucker I don't need NO doctor ;)
I don't need no doctor
Fucking idiots how could anybody not like it.
25 too long years.....God how I miss this man. Best pipes of Rock and Blues in history.
Aggree!
Longshotsblues and a superb guitar player... 🎸👌
Longshotsblues-- I concur
if somebody like him burst onto the scene nowadays, people would lose their shit---in a good way.

Very underrated guitar player...
Totally stunned - what have I MISSED? Thougt I knew Steve, as the most outragious singer from the sixties and so on.... stage animal…. never knew he was such a great bluesguitarist. I mean GREAT....
Totally agree
What a talent Steve was, I did'nt realise he was THAT superb a guitar player, I seem to remember that at one time he considered giving up playing because he thought he was'nt good enough, WHAAAAAT !!!!!
Fabulous musician and singer!
So sad He's gone. He was the best ever!
No doubt, Steve M. a great gitarist and a special voice. Directly.
Saw him in a small venue where we could get up close he was amazing and dressed exactly the same 😊
Today is the 26th anniversary of his death and I never heard this track or saw this performance before, I always thought of Marriott for his vocals in the Small Faces and Humble Pie, and saw a few interviews where others suggest that he wasn't a confident or accomplished guitarist. This definitely shows what a great guitarist and musical force he was. And how sad it is that he isn't around. He's the true mod father and so much more. I'm glad to have lived within living memory of him, Plonk and Mac.
Steve was not just a Blues Scholar... he was a Doctor in Bluesology and had enough black heart in him to know exactly where the blues hurt the most. Incomparable!!!
Steve is the most underrated guitar player ever!!!
White boy is one of the Best I ever Heard!!! ... white soul!!
We desperately need someone like him today. Everyone is manufactured to hell and there is no heart in music these days. Instant fame has taken the guts & soul out of music, everyone's at it so there no-one special any more. Maybe I'm just getting old. Hell! I am old!!!
Actually the closest band out there that i've heard that comes close to them are the Black Crows . Check out their song Black Betty and you'll be hooked , you will then want to listen to alot more of them . Happy listening . Peace .
billbluez Black Crowes and The Fabulous Thunderbirds both had that soul. after that, not any real ideas come to mind. and that is a sad sad thing, indeed.
the thing about being old is at least we saw all the great bands :)
Brenda Mayne check out the rival sons
Brenda Mayne have a look on here for a british blues/rock band called king king Brenda,you might be pleasantly surprised Brenda,they on fire at the moment and fantastic live
This guy was The guy. Most the top vocalist nor guitar players could Touch this dude. He was a force..page,Clapton,towhnsend, those boys couldn’t Touch this guy..and they knew it.
.
Steve Marriott is like wine. He only got better with the years! Man! How you got smooth and put together! Absolutely awesome!
Forget all the tattoos, the silly costumes, the histrionics.... Stevie is up there in farmer johns totally killing it. There will never be rock musicians like him ever again.
his blues playing is extraordinary ... must say I'm a bit surprised after listening to mostly his solid rock guitar all these years, but like they say, it all comes from the blues ..
Yes really good, I didn't realize how good his guitar playing was.
Stephen Peter Marriott I miss you 🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸😭🙏
So much soul spills from this man so underrated
Gotta love a bit of the Marriott!
best singer in rock
I've never seen this clip before. Steve Marriott has just become one of my favorite blues guitarists of all time. The tone coming from that guitar in his hands is just... Whoa!!! I'm reeling from the impact of what I've just heard.
I agree, and why isn't Marriott in the same conversation with Beck/Clapton/Hendrix/Green/Page as the greatest British guitarists?
Greatly underrated Best frontman ever. A true musician and performer
this is the benchmark people....RIP legend.
Pure class, the best version of this awesome song. How lucky are we to have grown up with these legends.
Best Brit soul singer ever and my favourite musician of all time! I have (almost) every bit of plastic he has released. In the Humble Pie days I have seen him described as a guitar maestro but, in truth, his guitar playing was always just good solid support of Frampton and especially Clempson, (who is himself grossly underestimated). I saw the Pie many times live between '69 and '75 then in their various guises, Marriott's All Stars etc for a few years after. He was always amazing onstage.
Freddy Mercury used to hold the audience spellbound in his hand during his solo "Day-oh-ee-da-day" solo spot, but I've seen Marriott do the same audience interaction years before filling a huge hall while standing in front of his mike stand singing unamplified!
It seems that Steve had real confidence in his vocal abilities but was a little doubting of his guitar playing. Well here is Marriott doing what he always wanted to, showing that at last he is up there with the best of them on guitar, and still way beyond them on vocals. This is utterly AWESOME! It's a true masterclass of how to play electric blues guitar and sing. How sad he had to go when he was at last reaching this degree of skill.
Genuine soul like this is found in only a select few each generation. "Bald headed fat little has been"? Couldn't be further from the truth Steve!
good interesting comment. makes a change!
I hear what you're saying but I find his vocals a little harsh...not soulful like Paul Carrack....JMHO....
@@dinopappous6639 try the small faces, pipes were in better shape
Ever heard of Terry Reid ?? also an amazing singer guitarist.. check him out at Glastonbury 1971 with David Lindley on lap-steel very similar guys :)
@@dinopappous6639 years of smashing it probs took its toll ,plus 5he fact as ya get older your voice matures
This is quite possibly the best version of this song EVER RECORDED!!! That voice, that guitar-playing, and emotion(stage presence) are all superb! Today we are treated to mindless dicks who "sample", read steal, others' work. SM was a true virtuoso!
Buddy Guy does this justice !!!!!!!!!!
