Humble pie Rock in the film or was a classic album is a classic album will always be a classic album this is Patrick you're absolutely right love you guys
When “Rockin” came out I wore out 3 eight track!!! It was the best damn live masterpiece I ever heard. Now I got it on my iPad and phone guaranteed not to wear it out!!! Still rocks my old ass off!!!
I saw Humble Pie twice at The Fillmore East with Peter Frampton and the onstage energy of Peter and Steve was incredible. Humble Pie was never quite the same after Peter left.
I first saw Peter perform at Winterland in San Francisco. This was in 1973 I believe. His first time there. Frampton's Camel. The guy was completely prepared. The band was tight. His first 2 albums are still among my favorite's. Foghat and Johnny Winter were top bill that nigh but Frampton blew everyone away. People knew who he was but had no idea what he was capable of on his own. "All I want to be is by your Side". That is one of my favorite songs. Beautifully written and produced. $4.00 got you into Winterland back then.
Pete wanted to be the front man of HP. But he realized (wisely) that it was just not going to happen as long as Steve Marriott was in the band. Frampton was a talented musician and performer but he could not hold a candle to the stage presence and charisma of Marriott. It turned out good for him as he achieved mega-wealth with his "Alive" album, but I'll bet he never had as much fun as when he was with the Pie.
I agree with everything you said. No way in hell Peter could out-frontman Steve; nevertheless, Humble Pie became cemented into Rock N Roll history because of that chemistry.
Frampton's 'mega-fame' was very short-lived. He was already on the downswing with his followup album to 'Come's Alive', in the late 70s, 'I'm in you' ...and after that he just basically disappeared until David Bowie attempted to resurrect Peter's fledgling career as 'guitar-ace' for Bowie's 87-88' Glass Spider Tour. Sadly, the album and tour were a bomb for Bowie and so it didn't help Frampton at all except perhaps for a performance paycheck. Frampton's stage charisma was already shaky fueled in the early days with his novelty 'talk-box' device that became dated and then when he lost his hair..that kinda killed it all !
That's right. Steve Marriott forced audiences to glue their eyes on him. I saw Humble Pie in 1973. When it came to the guitar solo Steve M. was playing fantastically when suddenly mid-riff he threw both of his hands up in the air and then pointed at Peter Frampton who was actually playing the solo. My reaction was, 'Oh, it's the other guy playing!" Even still I had to force myself to watch Peter F. because Steve was such a magnetic presence. I count being brought up in an era with so much great music as one of the true blessings of my life.
I was not around for the Humble Pie heyday, but years later through my older brother, I listened to Rockin' the Fillmore and was totally blown away by the heavy guitar driven rock and those authoritive masterful vocals. I'd say those listens pretty much defined my interest as a guitarist. I remember hearing about the death of Steve Marriott....very sad, but I don't think ANYONE can touch his vocals, so they live on.
@@gumersindoreguera4757 Difícil comparar, Satriani o Stevie Vai pueden ser mejores tecnicamente, pero no me llegan. Frampton no sólo es muy muy bueno sino que emociona, podés ver mi filmación de Argentina, en particular Show Me The Way, Black Hole Sun, Breaking All The Rules, lo que hizo con Humble Pie también es buenísimo: ruclips.net/video/p-VtJEaDaqE/видео.html
Amen Brother Frampton! Peter was huge in Detroit in 1975/76 ahead of the Comes Alive LP. How do I know? Well I had a little hottie Italian GF who insisted that we wait in line to get Mr.Frampton's autograph at some record store and the place was packed! And Honest God, a 15 year old me asked Peter F. " Why did you leave Humble Pie?" and his answer was "To do this." Bravo Maestro!
I used to work at Harmony House in Hazel Park when he did an autograph signing there and the line was all the way around the block and down the street and the cops were mad because there were so many people!, but they couldn't do anything because the kids would revolt. LOL
My first live concert was Peter Frampton, right around the same time his live dbl set was released. I remember almost every song being played on the radio. Great show, great times.
Performance and Frampton Comes Alive are my two favourite live albums ever.. Man! Peter's playing on Performance was a life changing moment for me. He and Stevie swapping chops on Walk On Gilded Splinters is just incredible.
I had the honor, and privilege of seeing you for my first-ever concert, live in Buffalo, NY just before you recorded Live At The Fillmore in New York. I was 14, and I think you were 17. You and Steve Marriott were inspirations to me to this day. For me, life got in the way, but for this 64 year old rocker, I am forever grateful. Rock On!
His "lyrical jazz" style transformed rock guitar far more than his use of the talk box. I was so fortunate to be at Winterland when it happened and then the Concord Pavilion when that chapter closed. The artist turned the page to a new chapter and I am certain that he will continue to entertain and amaze us.
First album i wanted before even hearing it and the sound quality is terrific. They were never the same because Frampton brought melodic guitar to a rock band and it was never replaced.
I saw Humble Pie (with Dave Clempson on lead guitar) in a club in liverpool in 1972. Their support act was Peter Frampton's Camel. So I guess the split was fairly amicable and professional. Great musical days!
Back when artists were allowed to grow. Imagine any artist in the 90’s or 2000’s still being allowed to get to a 4th album before showing signs of success. Think of all the legends we would have missed if you had one or two chances and then you’re done. I only don’t mention recent times because the industry hasn’t been the same for a while now.
No one goes to a Mozart opera to hear the talents of the 1st violinist however good he is. When Marriot unleashed those cords he upstaged everything including his own playing. In the early '70s there was plenty of wonderful soul singers around, but no one could do it like Steve within a hard rock band or anywhere else for that matter. Back then there may have been reasons to believe that one day someone may get close, but as we know no one ever did, and likely never will. IMO no one in their right mind should want to be seen in competition to Steve Marriot on the same stage however good they are. It should not have happened to a dog, never mind someone as talented as Peter. Can you imagine how soul-destroying it must have been to have played your best solos and sung your heart out for two hours, while the audience never took their eyes off of the other guy on the stage for a moment, at least half of them wondering why you are even there?
I remember Peter Frampton in 1970/71 driving either a Rolls or a Bentley, coming up to an apartment in Waltham Cross U.K and buying an ounce of black Cannabis resin !
When that type of resin was around in San Francisco it was called "The One". For 35 bucks you got a gram, a glass pipe and directions. The first hit I took I literally fainted. Just a tiny little ball smaller than a small pot seed was all it took. Light's out.
I think it was time for Peter Frampton to move on ... after all he was always an excellent singer and guitarist .... at Humble Pye ... he was not the star he already deserved to be.Now he will shine forever ... all his success is due to the great musician he is ... I love Peter Frampton ... besides all his qualities as a musician he is still beautiful and sexy today
I was in college at Buffalo, New York when Frampton and his band played at the Norton Student Union Hall. I was familiar with a couple of his studio albums, but more often I would play Led Zepellin, Hendrix, Free, and the Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore. I dropped acid with my friends and settled in for an other-worldly performance by Frampton in that small venue which seated only a couple hundred students. I left the show feeling that I'd seen a manifestation of God through Frampton's lyrical guitar interplay while leading his band. I couldn't stop smiling. The Frampton Comes Alive recording captured that incarnation of the band pretty well, but of course there's nothing like being there.
I saw them twice with Frampton and twice with Clemson and then a few other times with the not so real Humble Pie and Packet of 3 twice. I saw Frampton once on his own Fortunately it was BEFORE he popped out with the Comes Alive album. After that I couldn't really listen to him anymore. That talk box thing is just plain BORING!!! But, he is a great guitarist, no doubt.
I saw Humble Pie a couple times after Frampton left. I did see Peter in Philadelphia, Pa. in the summer of '75. The Frampton Comes Alive tour. Great show
Jim Scott Marriott tried several times before the Small Faces split to get Frampton to join but the other 3 wouldn’t have it such a shame cause you could see where Marriott wanted to take the band which was a more heavy blues direction I think they would’ve been better than humble pie personally.
sounds like you're being funny. Compare songs written by Marriott and Lane vs Frampton and it's not close. Small Faces, Faces, and Humble Pie's catalog are superior to Frampton's not to mention Frampton can't touch Marriott in the vocal department. I'll say definitively Frampton was the lucky one.
@@Coach49217 I was smiling when I wrote it. I'd say I was just feeling nostalgic in that moment. Ronnie and Steve were also guy's I liked. All off them were great. Small Faces and the following iterations of Faces were great bands. Where music is concerned, I'll never say one player is better than the other. They all have skills I only dream of. Stephen Flint thank you for the comment.
Rockin the filmore...top of the food chain, saw Framptons camel open for focus and Johnny winter, then not long after that we saw him do the live set at Winterland....lucky to have been a part of that!
& then came... I'm in you..oh my..did he take the wrong direction at that crossroad.He's of the most grounded,humble,good natured rock stars I've ever seen.
Oddly, he tells the story just about how I'd imagined it all went down! I think I was around 12 when Rock On and Rockin' The Fillmore were on my older brother's turntable. The Pie were really the first band I loved, actually!
Used,to see Humble Pie many times at 'Fillmore East'. Would, sit and wonder at watching Him .. I would say this guy is amazing and is going to be huge soon. Then ,Frampton came Alive , it happened . Pie , was almost the House Band there ,they opened for everyone... Great Times...
Frampton after Humble pie, he was more pop and soft... With his angel face and blonde hairs plus multiplatinum Frampton comes alive, he was been a rock star for many years. Sure very humble.
Rockin' the Fillmore was their best. As it says in the liner notes, they had improved their jams and licks on the road, and the incredible jam of "Walk on Gilded Splinters" culminated with the two leads playing the same melody in harmony (seemingly impromptu) - an act of brilliance made famous by the Allman Bros Band.
Great interview. Growing up in the heart of San Francisco...had seen many amazing concerts as a very young kid, at Winterland. My best friend and I were planning on seeing that live Peter Frampton concert, which ended up being half of the live double album (Frampton Comes Alive). Unfortunately we didn't get our tickets on time. Personally would have been more grateful to see one of the Live in the Fillmore East Humble Pie concerts. Those four dates from the special box set, are all incredible.
Dan , I was in the Air Force and stationed just up the road from you during the comes alive time . Travis and Mather and years later was living in Sacramento when Journey did " lights "
Dan , I was about 18 when I saw them at the Fillmore East . I saw many shows there . Some of the idiots in the neighborhood had no idea what good music was . For example , I sold a front row seat out front on the sidewalk for Cactus because a friend backed out . AND when I saw Hendrix on New Year's Eve , I went alone . A few friends said " we want to hang out and get high " . I think I made a better choice !
I saw an amazing comment on a Humble Pie video the other day, I'll paraphrase it here. Quote unknown: "Humble Pie had a great singer, an amazing singer and Steve Marriott." I wish I'd said it.
I've seen that and completely agree, a great example for me in regards to that would be in "I'm Ready" off the live album. Peter, Greg, and Steve trading lead vocals. Love it 👍
I saw Humble Pie on their first US tour, third billed under Savoy Brown (Fillmore West) - incredible incredible set. Very much Steve’s show with an able assist from Peter. When Pete left a couple years later I thought ‘too bad’ but I got it. There was only ever going to be one star in HP -whether Steve intended this or not, his talent was just so dominant. Peter was strong too in his way and the only way he’d be able to show this to people would be leading his own group. Also Peter potentially had a more mainstream appeal, different kinds of songs…that would likely never get played in Humble Pie. Nobody rocked harder than the Pie back then imho
Peter Frampton is my guilty pleasure. I am more in to punk, and experimental type music, but for some reason Frampton hold a special place in my heart.
Yes, I saw him on the "Frampton" tour in 1974 at Ford Auditorium and brought my little sister (her first concert). It was great! Then he did a cool interview on CJOM-FM in Windsor and he was worried he wouldn't be able to get back across the river to the States. LOL So happy he has good memories of Detroit because we have good memories of him.
At that time WABX in Detroit was still the best rock radio station in the country (Earth...probably Universe). Also WRIF which had a bigger budget, listener pool with more wattage and by the time of the "Frampton Comes Alive" album, W4 might've been around as well; 3 major stations in one city.
Sorry son, 100.7 WMMS: The Buzzard in Cleveland was the greatest rock station. BTW we also had Vernors in Cleveland too. Rolling Stone Magazine named WMMS "Best Radio Station" (Large Market) nine straight years (1979-87) as part of the magazine's annual Readers' Poll.
Yeah Peter, I was there with you all the way! I remember the guy at Licorice Pizza when I bought the live album trying to sell me the other ones, I said I got em all!!
I was brought with a friend to see Edger Winter and Pete opened. I was amazed. I thought, who is this guy? Blue Jeans and a denim cowboy shirt in New Orleans? That was nice, because it wasn't like he was into all that rock star BS. The Songs, I had never heard any of them, and the playing. We were ten rows out. Very possibly the best live performance I've ever seen. And he did play, "Do you fell like I do", or whatever it's call. That was 2-3 years before he deservedly exploded.
Great interview. Loved Rockin' The Fillmore and became a PF fan.Bought his studio releases and saw him supporting the Doobs and Montrose then what became Comes Alive, all at Winterland. ha, also DOG with Skynyrd at Oakland. Fan until the end.
I bought Rockin' The Fillmore in '72 and was blown away. Among all these great live band shots, there's one of Peter, looking pretty bummed. First thought then was 'lighten up !' Second was he was probably on his way out the door. btw, there at Winterland, Sunday night for DYFLWD and more. Pretty great ;)
Smart to move on. He contributed greatness with Frampton Comes Alive and if he waited it would have never happened. Steve was too great of a singer to overcome in Humble Pie. I'm glad to have them both in my collection.
After the release of his first live Lp and the amount of airplay it received it I realized that his music no longer fell in the Rock genre but in Pop Rock leaning more so towards teeny boppers because it not only played on FM but AM radio played the crap of it too. From that point on my taste for his sound dropped immensely. I love his guitar riffs...but when he was with Humble Pie and whom I'm still a huge fan of.
I've often wondered what is was like for you to leave Humble Pie. They were becoming rock's gift to concerts so it was hardly like you left during a trough. I remember watching you create your new work and it seemed to happen very quickly. I was attending Central Michigan University when you did your show there and, despite excellent connections, couldn't get a seat. I made up for it by thoroughly enjoying your show at Grand Rapids' Meijer Gardens many years later.😊👍
I think it was supposed to be a finale i believe Steve morphed back into The Small Faces again because I remember going to a festival The Bickerstaff Festival where they were entertaining a huge crowd and a steamed up Steve poured a pint under the lid of the organ and the whole thing went bang with tons of smoke pouring out of it. Seems he would have done anything for a good laugh.
+Conceicao De Jesus Me too. It kinda left me during Frampton Comes Alive, but in retrospect, Humble Pie is without a doubt one of my favorite British groups, along with Small Faces.
It’s so surprising a lot of my miss informed Friend’s who are huge Peter Frampton fans never even heard of humble pie 🤤 it’s quite astonishing to say the least
At last one old rocker not wearing a rug , there are certain people who look ridiculous with a 14 year old hair on a 70 year old . Always liked frampton
@@soleneisconbi7302 Yes and no. Ask Bill Haley about Elvis or Gerry & the Pacemakers about The Beatles or The Graham Bond Organisation about the Rolling Stones. The look maybe secondary but when you have amazing music with an amazing look, that's rock 'n' roll nirvana.
Peter Frampton always a great guy. He was so angelic looking in 1976 with those blond curls, and loved his music. I hope he is better after his health diagnosis and he gets better.
You made a great decision. We reaped the benefits. Anything you do in the public eye will be scrutinized with the ,Fear of Change, factor. Garth we’re gonna make some changes around here. Garth replied, We Don’t Like Change. It’s a factor and always will be. Your decision was not control freak oriented. The result of your efforts prove that. Just give us more, that’s all. Simple, right?
Peter struggles when he first left Humble Pie as he honestly admits here. I saw him opening for Uriah Heap and he was actually booed. So glad he found success later.
rockin Fillmore was there best excellent raw sound of the band and Steves vocals.s.c.fever .no doctor. rollin stone. turn it up loud to hear it .live 👍👍👍
I was so upset when he left. I see them with frampton and a year later Humble Pie plays again and it was never advertised Frampton wasn't in the band. if I wasn't a Steve Marriot fan I would have raised hell until I got my $ back. they pulled that again a couple years later when I went to see Hot Tuna and got bloody Journey.😖 I did try to get my money back that time. Hated journey. plus they just were NOT what I had paid to see.
Rock bands morphed all the time and made the launching of new bands and solo artists possible. It's all part a wonderful evolution that was extreme in the 60's, 70's and 80's. .
I understand that great musicians have to grow, Miles Davis wouldn't ever play his earlier material. And when Mr. Frampton went solo it allowed him to be the front man and add pop making his music much more successful. But Humble Pie was so good and ahead of its time. There were really four bands that pioneered today's jam band rock scene: the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band, Humble Pie, and the James Gang. Humble Pie figured out that "I Walk On Gilded Splinters" is a jam band song one year after it came out and thirty years before Widespread Panic. Once Mr. Frampton left Humble Pie it was missing an important part and declined.
Rockin' the Fillmore is a masterpiece, Humble Pie's finest LP by a long distance.
One of the best live albums of all time
Humble pie Rock in the film or was a classic album is a classic album will always be a classic album this is Patrick you're absolutely right love you guys
Yes indeed!! Even the album cover has a kick ass vibe to it. RIP Steve Marriott.
Yeah very true they couldn't have made a better one so they didn't.
When “Rockin” came out I wore out 3 eight track!!! It was the best damn live masterpiece I ever heard. Now I got it on my iPad and phone guaranteed not to wear it out!!! Still rocks my old ass off!!!
Man he and Humble Pie were so soulfull.
Frampton is a great rock guitarist and singer. He always is down to earth and seems like a nice guy
Almost too nice to have been running with a bunch of hoodlums like that Humble Pie gang!
I saw Humble Pie twice at The Fillmore East with Peter Frampton and the onstage energy of Peter and Steve was incredible. Humble Pie was never quite the same after Peter left.
Far out ... That must of been a great band to watch live.
@@paulvon2378 Yes...I left very impressed. The next day I went out and bought every Humble Pie album I could find.
True.
Humble Pie…back when concerts were great still!! Standing up front is the best way to see a concert!!!
Marriott’s raw talent , voice and playing ,Frampton couldn’t handle it. His music is like a wet wank after Humble Pies pulsing raw energy.
True. No comparison
Frampton was a smash after Humble Pie. Loved Frampton's work and Humble Pie. What a legacy. Well done.
Sort of. Had to get through Frampton's Camel first.
Greatly appreciate your comment.
Marriot made it great
I think he had four albums that were lackluster in sales. It was that live album with the three big hits that made him a household name.
Humble Pie one of the best live acts I've ever seen. ENERGY!

Frampton was too jazzy for R&B oriented Humble Pie. Peter has said so himself and he's right about that. Not compatible styles.
R&B it is brother..thank you

Stephen Flint thank you for the comment.
Rockin the filmore...top of the food chain, saw Framptons camel open for focus and Johnny winter, then not long after that we saw him do the live set at Winterland....lucky to have been a part of that!
I love Peter’s jazzy lyrical style of guitar playing.
& then came... I'm in you..oh my..did he take the wrong direction at that crossroad.He's of the most grounded,humble,good natured rock stars I've ever seen.
Never heard of HP until I saw them at a Beggars Banquet show at York Stadium in Toronto in the early 70's.
Blew everyone away!
Un buen guitarrazo!!! 👍
Oddly, he tells the story just about how I'd imagined it all went down! I think I was around 12 when Rock On and Rockin' The Fillmore were on my older brother's turntable. The Pie were really the first band I loved, actually!
PETER FRAMPTON, WAS MY SECOND CONCERT IN 1977,IN NEW HAVEN CT. I SAW HIM YEARS LATER, WHEN HE DID A NICE TRIBUTE TO STEVE MARRIOTT!!! M.O'B
I Love this Guy's Music...
Good to see you .
Used,to see Humble Pie many times at 'Fillmore East'. Would, sit and wonder at watching Him .. I would say this guy is amazing and is going to be huge soon. Then ,Frampton came Alive , it happened . Pie , was almost the House Band there ,they opened for everyone... Great Times...
Miss Steve Marriot he had a hell of a voice
It was nice seeing him a couple times on Madam Secretary.
Frampton after Humble pie, he was more pop and soft...
With his angel face and blonde hairs plus multiplatinum Frampton comes alive, he was been a rock star for many years.
Sure very humble.
First album I ever owned ... Frampton comes alive.
Peter u made the right dawn decision u were gold Brother Frampton comes alive
"Humble Pie was an incredible band, sort of like a R&B Rock Who, we were very exciting live..." 👌
Rockin' The Filmore, one of the finest live albums ever recorded, one of Geddy Lee's favorite albums also 👍
Rockin' the Fillmore was their best. As it says in the liner notes, they had improved their jams and licks on the road, and the incredible jam of "Walk on Gilded Splinters" culminated with the two leads playing the same melody in harmony (seemingly impromptu) - an act of brilliance made famous by the Allman Bros Band.
Rock On, their second album on the A&M label is their best, by far. Got to see them on the promo tour for Rockin the Filmore. Man they were great!
Great interview. Growing up in the heart of San Francisco...had seen many amazing concerts as a very young kid, at Winterland. My best friend and I were planning on seeing that live Peter Frampton concert, which ended up being half of the live double album (Frampton Comes Alive). Unfortunately we didn't get our tickets on time. Personally would have been more grateful to see one of the Live in the Fillmore East Humble Pie concerts. Those four dates from the special box set, are all incredible.
Dan , I was in the Air Force and stationed just up the road from you during the comes alive time . Travis and Mather and years later was living in Sacramento when Journey did " lights "
Dan , I was about 18 when I saw them at the Fillmore East . I saw many shows there . Some of the idiots in the neighborhood had no idea what good music was . For example , I sold a front row seat out front on the sidewalk for Cactus because a friend backed out . AND when I saw Hendrix on New Year's Eve , I went alone . A few friends said " we want to hang out and get high " . I think I made a better choice !
R.I.P. STEVE
His appearance on The Drew Carry Show was epic!
I saw an amazing comment on a Humble Pie video the other day, I'll paraphrase it here.
Quote unknown: "Humble Pie had a great singer, an amazing singer and Steve Marriott."
I wish I'd said it.
Saw that.
yes
I've seen that and completely agree, a great example for me in regards to that would be in "I'm Ready" off the live album. Peter, Greg, and Steve trading lead vocals. Love it 👍
I still have a poster, from Richards, in Atlanta. It listed, Framptons Camel, on one of the dates.
I saw Humble Pie on their first US tour, third billed under Savoy Brown (Fillmore West) - incredible incredible set. Very much Steve’s show with an able assist from Peter. When Pete left a couple years later I thought ‘too bad’ but I got it. There was only ever going to be one star in HP -whether Steve intended this or not, his talent was just so dominant.
Peter was strong too in his way and the only way he’d be able to show this to people would be leading his own group. Also Peter potentially had a more mainstream appeal, different kinds of songs…that would likely never get played in Humble Pie. Nobody rocked harder than the Pie back then imho
Peter Frampton is my guilty pleasure. I am more in to punk, and experimental type music, but for some reason Frampton hold a special place in my heart.
It all worked out. ❤❤❤
Yes, I saw him on the "Frampton" tour in 1974 at Ford Auditorium and brought my little sister (her first concert). It was great! Then he did a cool interview on CJOM-FM in Windsor and he was worried he wouldn't be able to get back across the river to the States. LOL So happy he has good memories of Detroit because we have good memories of him.
At that time WABX in Detroit was still the best rock radio station in the country (Earth...probably Universe). Also WRIF which had a bigger budget, listener pool with more wattage and by the time of the "Frampton Comes Alive" album, W4 might've been around as well; 3 major stations in one city.
Before Canadian Content rules came into place there was also the Big 8, CKLW over in Windsor, breaking bands at 50,000 watts.
Sorry son, 100.7 WMMS: The Buzzard in Cleveland was the greatest rock station. BTW we also had Vernors in Cleveland too. Rolling Stone Magazine named WMMS "Best Radio Station" (Large Market) nine straight years (1979-87) as part of the magazine's annual Readers' Poll.
DETROIT, rock city. BTW your welcome for the Vernors
Yeah Peter, I was there with you all the way! I remember the guy at Licorice Pizza when I bought the live album trying to sell me the other ones, I said I got em all!!
Licorice Pizza! Oh, good memories!!
I was brought with a friend to see Edger Winter and Pete opened. I was amazed. I thought, who is this guy? Blue Jeans and a denim cowboy shirt in New Orleans? That was nice, because it wasn't like he was into all that rock star BS. The Songs, I had never heard any of them, and the playing. We were ten rows out. Very possibly the best live performance I've ever seen. And he did play, "Do you fell like I do", or whatever it's call. That was 2-3 years before he deservedly exploded.
My First ever album, Frampton.
Fresh as Frampton
Saw him with "Frampton`s Camel" in the early `70`s. Was a great show but he hadn't`t hit his peak yet.
Great interview. Loved Rockin' The Fillmore and became a PF fan.Bought his studio releases and saw him supporting the Doobs and Montrose then what became Comes Alive, all at Winterland. ha, also DOG with Skynyrd at Oakland. Fan until the end.
I bought Rockin' The Fillmore in '72 and was blown away.
Among all these great live band shots, there's one of Peter, looking pretty bummed.
First thought then was 'lighten up !'
Second was he was probably on his way out the door.
btw, there at Winterland, Sunday night for DYFLWD and more.
Pretty great ;)
Black Coffee is my favorite Humble Pie tune.
Smart to move on. He contributed greatness with Frampton Comes Alive and if he waited it would have never happened. Steve was too great of a singer to overcome in Humble Pie. I'm glad to have them both in my collection.
💕💕💕💕
After the release of his first live Lp and the amount of airplay it received it I realized that his music no longer fell in the Rock genre but in Pop Rock leaning more so towards teeny boppers because it not only played on FM but AM radio played the crap of it too. From that point on my taste for his sound dropped immensely. I love his guitar riffs...but when he was with Humble Pie and whom I'm still a huge fan of.
He had some lousy studio albums
I've often wondered what is was like for you to leave Humble Pie. They were becoming rock's gift to concerts so it was hardly like you left during a trough. I remember watching you create your new work and it seemed to happen very quickly. I was attending Central Michigan University when you did your show there and, despite excellent connections, couldn't get a seat. I made up for it by thoroughly enjoying your show at Grand Rapids' Meijer Gardens many years later.😊👍
I think it was supposed to be a finale i believe Steve morphed back into The Small Faces again because I remember going to a festival The Bickerstaff Festival where they were entertaining a huge crowd and a steamed up Steve poured a pint under the lid of the organ and the whole thing went bang with tons of smoke pouring out of it. Seems he would have done anything for a good laugh.
Chewbacca loved "Natural Born Wookee"
Love Peter! Love Steve Marriott!
I love Peter Frampton.
+Conceicao De Jesus Me too. It kinda left me during Frampton Comes Alive, but in retrospect, Humble Pie is without a doubt one of my favorite British groups, along with Small Faces.

i did not know Peter was part of Humble Pie! (my first concert, age 13)
He went with his gut, and it led in the right direction.
Frampton was the same as Jeff Lynne to The Move, the wanted to go streamline but they could NEVER touch the latter
humble pie had their best album (besides the filmore) right after he left-"smokin". left too soon
It’s so surprising a lot of my miss informed Friend’s who are huge Peter Frampton fans never even heard of humble pie 🤤 it’s quite astonishing to say the least
Peter Frampton should have made a live album, i think it would have worked out well
Hello? Frampton comes alive !
@@paulmellander5358 i gotta check that out
I guess the blues were too big for him...! So he went and did pop...!
At last one old rocker not wearing a rug , there are certain people who look ridiculous with a 14 year old hair on a 70 year old . Always liked frampton
some people focus on the most pointless shit. Who care what they look like. It’s all about what art they create.
@@soleneisconbi7302 Yes and no. Ask Bill Haley about Elvis or Gerry & the Pacemakers about The Beatles or The Graham Bond Organisation about the Rolling Stones. The look maybe secondary but when you have amazing music with an amazing look, that's rock 'n' roll nirvana.
Me too. When he was younger, he sometime's wore tailor made clothes. The guy knew how to perform and keep and audience with him.
*Paul McCartney has left the chat*
Paul Rogers lawyer will be in touch shortly
Peter Frampton always a great guy. He was so angelic looking in 1976 with those blond curls, and loved his music. I hope he is better after his health diagnosis and he gets better.
I like the people who can go solo, and still be part of the band. Fleetwood Mac did that very well.
You made a great decision. We reaped the benefits. Anything you do in the public eye will be scrutinized with the ,Fear of Change, factor. Garth we’re gonna make some changes around here. Garth replied, We Don’t Like Change. It’s a factor and always will be. Your decision was not control freak oriented. The result of your efforts prove that. Just give us more, that’s all. Simple, right?
Potentially, lol!
"I Walk on Gilded Splinters" from RTF is a rock Hall of Fame cut. There are good versions they did, but THAT version is gold.
Peter struggles when he first left Humble Pie as he honestly admits here. I saw him opening for Uriah Heap and he was actually booed. So glad he found success later.
rockin Fillmore was there best excellent raw sound of the band and Steves vocals.s.c.fever .no doctor. rollin stone. turn it up loud to hear it .live 👍👍👍
I was so upset when he left. I see them with frampton and a year later Humble Pie plays again and it was never advertised Frampton wasn't in the band. if I wasn't a Steve Marriot fan I would have raised hell until I got my $ back. they pulled that again a couple years later when I went to see Hot Tuna and got bloody Journey.😖 I did try to get my money back that time. Hated journey. plus they just were NOT what I had paid to see.
whiner

Rock bands morphed all the time and made the launching of new bands and solo artists possible. It's all part a wonderful evolution that was extreme in the 60's, 70's and 80's. .
I hope you'r still doing well, I still get a kick out of the fact that we share a birthday!
Nobody puts Marriott in a corner Frampton or Jagger can't compete.
I understand that great musicians have to grow, Miles Davis wouldn't ever play his earlier material. And when Mr. Frampton went solo it allowed him to be the front man and add pop making his music much more successful. But Humble Pie was so good and ahead of its time. There were really four bands that pioneered today's jam band rock scene: the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band, Humble Pie, and the James Gang. Humble Pie figured out that "I Walk On Gilded Splinters" is a jam band song one year after it came out and thirty years before Widespread Panic. Once Mr. Frampton left Humble Pie it was missing an important part and declined.
