Confirmed. Played a gig at the Cleveland Agora back in the day w/ HP and he was warming up vocals with his band in the dressing room adjoining. Had my ear to the door. I can still hear that sound. Was a memory I'll never forget. Miss him greatly.
I saw him in Youngstown in 1979. He had to cancel the show the first time because he fell and got hurt. And I don't think the air conditioning was working at the Youngstown Agora it was a Saturday night and it was hot humid as hell we were going to sweat anyway five dollars a ticket. He came out and came up to the microphone and said sorry about last time Youngstown but I smashed me f****** ribs and promptly launched into I Don't Need No Doctor. Man was drinking Jack Daniels from a fifth and I believe it was real I want to say I remember him spitting on the crowd too. And the first line he said I don't need no f****** doctor. The place went nuts it was a great show. And they were going to do an encore when these two dudes started fighting in the front row on the floor where I was. We all backed up and the cops came to bust them up and the house lights came up and that was it he came from the side of the stage and grabbed the mic and got right down in their face and said don't you motherfukers fight now and the show was over but it was still great
Absolutely !!! I had the great fortune to see Humble Pie twice... summer of '72 at the University of Akron where they were on the bill with Black Sabbath, then again in downtown Cleveland the following year when Black Oak Arkansas opened the show. Nothing today comes close to the raw energy of that era, where Steve Marriot and "Pie" were the epitome of "bad ass!" ... and, joints were a mere .50 cents each
I think the Marriott live in London with pkt off 3 is brilliant where Steve does all the guitar playing shows how good he was eg 5 long years and love his interview,
@@martinbrenner6664 You're entitled to your opinion but their version is absolutely not better than Humble Pie's studio or live recording of this song
I was fortunate enough to see Humble Pie. Steve was one of the greatest vocalist to evet walk the planet. Rock, blues and soul. He had it all and an amazing guitar player on top of it all. He was taken way too soon in an accidental horrific way. May he "Rest in Peace". Gone but not forgotten!!!!!
Steve learned so much from the wonderful relationship he had with Vinetta Fields and the Blackberries. His singing really grew leaps and bounds from her influence. Great music gives no care what color you are. People could learn from the past
@@doodahdavesrecords4319 ain't nothing like being in the actual hole at the county jail, and hearing, "Thirty Days in the Hole," on the radio. Yes me way back then, for a little smoking. The hole, I requested it. It's much safer there. You can jam while reading the Bible in peace.
Don't be sad. Unless you knew him personally, he's as much here now as he ever was - on records, video tape and digital. A kind of immortality few of us get to experience.
Their self-titled, Rock On and Smokin' albums all contain at least one soul song but Eat It was the first with The Blackberries and is loaded with soul tunes.
Wow. Just freakin' wow. How is Steve Marriot not revered as just about the greatest frontman in rock'n'roll history? I guess by people who truly understand he is, but wow 😊
And will ALWAYS remain one of the most "bad ass" bands to ever walk out on a stage! I just turned 64 years young back on April 7, I've been playing guitar now for 57 years, and although I may be "older" now, but at least I got to see some of the best bands to ever exist!! I even got to see Jimi Hendrix when I was only 7 years old in 1967 and that one concert changed the course of my life, because before seeing Jimi I wanted to be a drummer and had already started learning some from my first cousin. But after seeing Jimi I knew that night coming back home that I wanted to ditch the drums and learn how to play the guitar so I did. I would rate Humble Pie as being in the top 10 bands that I've ever seen and heard!! When you listen to bands from the late 60's on up through the 70's and then listen to the modern music of today you've gotta ask yourself one question. What in the hell happened to music? Where are all the really good bands like put out one hit record after another?? Don't bands still exist that can do a live show without vocal "pitch correction" processors and without vocal harmonizer processors? Now days well over half the bands that you hear on the radio can't even play a live concert without their "crutches" for one simple fact. They will sound like pure shit!!!!!!! And that within itself is like a big slap in the face to all of the bands that sometimes practiced 12 hours or more per day just to make sure their vocal harmonies and guitar parts and the beginnings and endings of songs were perfect in every way possible! Most bands now days only care about one thing, "appearing" to look cool, "appearing" to sound great and "making loads of money" for themselves and the record companies!! Some of the bands these days have NO REAL TALENTS at all except for being a magician by being able to "fool" or "hoodwink" their listening fans who think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread!! All I'll say to all the REAL BANDS who've paid their dues, keep on rockin' because your music will live on LONG AFTER the FAKE good bands have been forgotten and are nothing more than a faded foggy memory!!!!!!!
@@julianjeffbissette7238 agreed. Seems we have a lot in common Brother, I just turned 69 and happy to say still Rocking I also play guitar and have for years and as I have told many…. The later it gets, the better I sound Ha! Also, I too saw Jimi Hendrix as a kid at a concert in Charlotte, NC at my 1st concert Had gone to see The Monkess and Hendrix was the opening act Everybody booed him because we were kids there to see Davy Jones & the Monkees (LOL) Couple years later I bought Jimi’s album Are You Experienced? and I’m looking at the album cover and all of a sudden it was like WAIT! I KNOW THIS GUY!!!!!! Have told many this story thru the years and many called BS, told them to look it up on Google to see if Hendrix opened for The Monkees to only have them to reach back out & go damn, never would of thought that Strange but True Anyway, just had to respond to another “Old Rocker” Keep safe brother & keep on Rockin! Slow down and th’ Bastards’ll catch ya! Been my mantra for years and so far has served me and Keef Richards well! ☠️😉☠️
@@julianjeffbissette7238 agreed 100% I’m 69 & still Rockin’ Saw a T shirt recently that I love, it said… “Yeah, I’m Old BUT I got to see all the Great Bands Live!” Ain’t that the truth??!!!! Safe safe Brother & Keep on Rockin’! Been my Mantra for years, Slow down and th’ Bastards’ll catch you! So far it has served me & Keef Richards well 😂 ☠️😉☠️
@dirkevans3443 kids these days haven't the foggiest idea what a REAL band with REAL talent even is or sounds like! Yes my brother, we may be older now but yes we did get to see the BEST BANDS to ever walk out on a stage anytime, anyplace, or anyhow, no if's and's or but's about it!! Like I said earlier, if you were to take away their pitch correction vocal processor and vocal harmonizer processor and make them have to do it the "old school" way like we used to do they would be completely lost and wouldn't be able to perform. These days, what used to simply be called a "concert" is now called a "show" because instead of concentrating on the music and how it sounds live they are more concerned about how they "look" and care more about the "spectacle" and now to entertain the fans is NOT about how their music sounds its more like a "Hollyweird production" and they even use tracks of them from 20 or 30 years ago while doing live shows and pandermining their live shows, and one very popular band that rose to fame during the 80's has gotten caught using pre-recorded music like Motley Crue. And there are MANY MORE bands that should have quit years ago are still touring and doing their "shows," and NOT live concerts which the fans are paying these outrageous ticket prices to go see! I remember when a good concert with 3 major name bands on the bill would cost you $4.50 to $5.50 per ticket to go see THREE (3) MAJOR BANDS, because I remember when ticket prices went up to $6.50 and $7.50 we all bitched and complained about the prices going up that much!! I'll keep on rockin' just as long as God will allow me to keep moving my fingers while holding my guitars and I'll NEVER stop playing if I'm able to but I'll NEVER EVER try to FAKE IT just to keep my "image" up as a rock star, which I am certainly NOT a rock star, never have been, I NEVER will be one either!! I'll just keep on keeping on just as long as the good Lord will allow me to do so!!
Forgot to mention ,saw humble pie in 1970 with frampton at Birmingham town hall and they came close to literally blowing the roof off,they played material from the white album and rock on and it ranks as one of the best performances ive ever seen,bit later on saw a three piece called trapeze and they came bloody close!!👍👍😁
King Biscuit Flower Hour, Presents Humble Pie In Concert. 1973 @ The Winterland Theater in San Francisco. Is the best live recording of Humble Pie. The MIDNIGHT SPECIAL, recordings are my favorite of the show. Along with the Peter Frampton shows.
I forgot to mention something interesting. I was on the Discogs site, and I noticed some ppl are selling King Biscuit vinyl albums. Apparently radio stations were supposed to either destroy or return the albums after airing the show, but some obviously didn’t. It’s pretty cool to see. I wish I could buy the one with Pat Benatar. I think there were also some records from “Off the Record with Mary Turner.”
@@patrickdaly5068 Loved both shows. To have them on vinyl, would be Heaven on earth. I bet they are expensive. I have both shows on CD. I heard both shows when they were a new broadcast.
Great to see Marriott kickin aas with the blackberries and them coming straight back at him,when he was alive he was the luckiest rock guy around to posess a true one of a kind voice,no one had the chops Marriott had and no one ever since,he never actually needed a microphone!.... like I say, lucky man😊👍😁
Humble Pie was one of my favorite bands back then. It seems like they are somewhat forgotten now. Steve Marriott was singing this way before Robert Plant, yet Plant gets all the credit. Back then bands played with reckless abandon and never worried about making a mistake. This is never heard today where music is all about perfection with no feeling.
I was lucky enough to meet him in California, watched as he sang and played piano at a private party in the seventies, he was an extraordinary musician incredibly talented and beautiful human being.
You gotta pay respect to the elder musicians that came before you. The generations of musicians that came before us sure were epic and Im glad to have their music today to study! What a great capture this was! Thank you for uploading!
It’s surprising to me how good a guitar player Marriott was since he earned his legendary status as a singer. Some fine harp playing too - what a fantastic dynamic range in display here. The Blackberry comments during his harp solo are hilarious. Straight from church.
Although Steve was an excellent guitar player, he preferred to have someone else on lead (first Frampton, then Clem) so he could walk away and get into singing from time to time. If you would like to hear more of his guitar skills, I recommend you look up on YT two solo performances: 'Help Me Through the Day" and "Five Long Years" with his later 3 piece band Packet of Three. He was a blues guitar monster.
What i liked about Steve, Greg, Gerry and the fabulous blackberriesis that they did great songs making rock music such good fun and a laugh and party. His lyrics and message was spot on an d sadly many got banged up in a hole for a bit of red leb or nepalese templeball back then.. Thats the stupidity of those laws yet Saville and Glitter were the true demonic monsters not some poor toker with the giggles and munchies. RIP Steve, you were a true legend and beautiful soul who lifted up so mcany of us cat your great gigs and im glad i saw you at the Half Moon pub in Putney, one🎉 of the best nights ever and we partied all night. 😂
If when watching/listening to this performance and you don't appreciate/like it there's something definitely missing in your ability to discern quality musicianship/talent. RINGO sez-✌️❤
Wanna real treat , find Humble Pies Live album called PERFORMANCE ROCKIN' THE FILLMORE 1971 . One of the best live records to date & right before Peter Frampton left the band. A double set record which I'm sure it is on YT .
@@paullevine1813 Live at Winterland is a great one as well...a crime that Humble Pie and Steve Marriott never truly received the recognition they deserved.
These midnight specials for me have really highlighted some great bands one this band Savoy brown who I had never heard off fantastic the other humble pie who do 3 songs on this show I had heard. Off these but didn't realise how good they where live brilliant,
WoW. I just commented on this to a little opera girl discussing bands from the 70's. I suggested she should listen to HUMBLE PIE. They NEVER got the Credit they should have. Thnx for the live vid. I did actually see them one time
Steve was a super performer. He was a trained in acting, dancing, theatre etc but he wanted to be a rock star and he was a REAL rock star. So glad I got to see them in their prime. along with Peter Frampton with his own band. Black Oak Arkansas and J Giels band. All on the same bill in a big open natural amphitheatre in the hills of the upper Ohio Valley WV panhandle . It was like a mini woodstack. Vans sitting all over the place with signs as to what what they were selling. Shirts, weed, acid, Black flew a chopper over when they came and dropped a bunch of something into the crowd. Never got any so I don't know what it was but probably mescaline or acid.
Those were the days - LOL! I also saw many groups perform live in the early 70's. Still have my ticket stub for Zeppelin in '72 - $6 ! What are Taylor Swift tickets going for these days ??? I feel bad for the kids now days. Sadly, I never got to see Humble Pie - a huge regret....

one of the very best !👍🏼
Steve had one of the greatest voices in recording history. Backed with his heart and soul.well . It leaves you breathless .
pound for pound Marriott the greatest rocker ive ever seen and Im 72 yrs.
Loaded off his azz and still puts on a better show, than anything we have in this watered down world today, but that's just my "Humble" opinion.
Steve was a rock n roll savage mega talent
Totally agree. Live rock and roll back in the day was so raw and spontaneous. Not perfect, but.. you know what I mean. Love this. Aloha!
A great laugh and partying was infectious with Steve about. Cheers mate, you are so. So missed and clearly you did great tunes.
He is Higher than tin bears, but so are the girls.

Thank you for this. It is a shame that there is so little live footage of Humble Pie. God bless the Pie. RIP Steve and Greg....
So much great music...so little time..

THEY STINK !!!
@@joefive5266 As if you would know what good music is.
Steve Marriott, 130 lb man with a 200 lb attitude. Pound for pound, he was all rock and roll, every ounce!
👍200lb. Black woman🤘
He oozes pure rock from the bottom of his toes to the tip of his head. A fuckin wild rocker like no other!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best video on the internet... Can't stop watching
Arguably the greatest rock and roll song of all time...and what an incredible performance.
What a voice rip steve 🙏
No prerecorded tracks or lip syncing, just bad ass rock and roll actually being played live.
Bad ass for sure but kick ass as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1973 i was 13 and the year i started smoking weed... we loved his music!!
Finally a live version of 30 Days. love it love love it.
The Dead Daisies do it better on the album Holy Ground. Glenn Hughes is the greatest singer in Rock today.

What i liked about Steve, Greg, Gerry and the fabulous blackberriesis that they did great songs making rock music such good fun and a laugh and party. His lyrics and message was spot on an d sadly many got banged up in a hole for a bit of red leb or nepalese templeball back then.. Thats the stupidity of those laws yet Saville and Glitter were the true demonic monsters not some poor toker with the giggles and munchies. RIP Steve, you were a true legend and beautiful soul who lifted up so mcany of us cat your great gigs and im glad i saw you at the Half Moon pub in Putney, one🎉 of the best nights ever and we partied all night. 😂
STEVE MARRIOTT WAS THE MAN
That was fucking awesome!! One of my all time favorite songs from the high school years!!
Driving out in country listening to Smoking , while Smoking and jamming to the 8 track tape ✌
Once again have been blessed by the Midnight Special🙌
My favorite Pie song so cool to see a live version in their prime
A WAY BETTER version of this song from the vinyl album that I listened to as a kid...LOL...TY TH-camr...
What. A. Performance. Yeah!!!🤘🤘🤘
Omg! Best performance ever by any rock band!
@The Midnight Special, Thanks for making these old shows available.
If when watching/listening to this performance and you don't appreciate/like it there's something definitely missing in your ability to discern quality musicianship/talent.
RINGO sez-✌️❤
Rockin' performance! That singer really put his heart and soul into it! Great band and backup singers, too!🎉
Wanna real treat , find Humble Pies Live album called PERFORMANCE ROCKIN' THE FILLMORE 1971 . One of the best live records to date & right before Peter Frampton left the band. A double set record which I'm sure it is on YT .
"That singer" is the one and only Steve Marriott...check out his work with the Small Faces as well. One of the greatest vocalists of all time.
@@paullevine1813 Live at Winterland is a great one as well...a crime that Humble Pie and Steve Marriott never truly received the recognition they deserved.
He was 100% boogie. RIP Steve.
OMG!!!! What a awesome group they were!!!!😎😎
one of my favorite humble pie songs,great story behind this song,blackberries were the Iceing on the pie.
Wow!! THAT amp valves sound...
Yeah, cool sounding backline. Ampeg guitar combos and an Acoustic bass rig. Different and LOUD!
And notice, NO EFFECTS RACKS for the guitars, Clem's wah-wah pedal for soloing was the only effect.
@@RickNBacker true
@@thewurm9177 VERY loud!
Love Humble Pie, front runners for sure
Love that blues harp!
This performance is epic! Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️
I was just a few years younger but really Jam to them now at 57 in 2024
Fantastic !!!!!!!!
Good god, almost 51 years later. I watched the night it was on.
Dang Stevie you are sooooooo missed rip friend
These midnight specials for me have really highlighted some great bands one this band Savoy brown who I had never heard off fantastic the other humble pie who do 3 songs on this show I had heard. Off these but didn't realise how good they where live brilliant,
Those live Savoy Brown shows were killer, they toured with Deep Purple, what good times we had,
3rd instalment of classic footage 👏👏🎸
Gawd. I remember the Black Nepalese -- unforgetable even though it knocked you to your knees.
Absolute AWESOMENESS!!
Little Steve Marriott with the big ole soulful heart... R.I.P. brother
Saw them at Charlton FC (the Valley) with The Who and Lou Reed, etc.
Never to be forgotten.
Thanx for uploading x
1974
I can't LOVE this enough!
Wow amazing performance
No doubt these guys rockd
Love Humble Pie true front runners of the time🎶
Damn these guys are good❤❤❤
Opened for them..1979..Steve spit everywhere on the stage..lol. they kicked ass..n loud..
I love Jerry Shirleys beard-mustache & long hair, what a fantastic time keeper he is!! ❤
My favorite song by them. I jam to this song on my bass. ❤️👍🏻🎸🎼
Nice version of this classic Humble Pie song.
Good stuff . Love Humble Pie & this song. Memories 🥰✌️🌞💞
The best line-up with The Blackberries
Back in my wild youth, my best friend used to call me up the night before my court date, and play this on the phone.
Amazing just blows me away could spend 30 days in the hole with this music
WoW. I just commented on this to a little opera girl discussing bands from the 70's.
I suggested she should listen to HUMBLE PIE.
They NEVER got the Credit they should have. Thnx for the live vid. I did actually see them one time
Steve delivered the best rock-n-roll ever.
Saw Humble Pie at my first-ever concert at the old Boston GAH-den.
Steve was a super performer. He was a trained in acting, dancing, theatre etc but he wanted to be a rock star and he was a REAL rock star. So glad I got to see them in their prime. along with Peter Frampton with his own band. Black Oak Arkansas and J Giels band. All on the same bill in a big open natural amphitheatre in the hills of the upper Ohio Valley WV panhandle . It was like a mini woodstack. Vans sitting all over the place with signs as to what what they were selling. Shirts, weed, acid, Black flew a chopper over when they came and dropped a bunch of something into the crowd. Never got any so I don't know what it was but probably mescaline or acid.
Those were the days - LOL! I also saw many groups perform live in the early 70's. Still have my ticket stub for Zeppelin in '72 - $6 ! What are Taylor Swift tickets going for these days ??? I feel bad for the kids now days. Sadly, I never got to see Humble Pie - a huge regret....
What a great band.Influnced a lot of other bands.🎉❤
