Humble Pie

But it was the same band sort of as the first album.

Fast Eddie Clarke of Motörhead fame on guitar, Dave King on vocals, Jerry Shirley from Humble Pie on drums, and they didn't have a credited bass player on the first album, but on this album, it's Charlie McCracken.

McCracken.

I like that name too.

PCOC, get it? The New Days Festival, today's concert, kicking off with Peter Frampton and his band.

Then Humble Pie joins Frampton.

And of course, Humble Pie includes Peter Frampton and Steve Marriott.

They're going to play a tune together.

And in the second set, Frampton is going to hang around and play with the Doobie Brothers.

days in the hole.

Never knew A dirty road

Peter Frampton with Steve Marriott and Humble Pie kicking off Peacock 2021.

Shine on me, shine on you, let it shine on.

Well, it sure didn't sound like it, but that was Peter Frampton, right? Back when he was in a band called Humble Pie.

He was just a kid, man.

He got together with a teen or a child television star in England, a guy named Steve Marriott, and they formed a band called Humble Pie, which I'll make this argument right here and right now, and I challenge you to challenge me.

[laughs] But I think Humble Pie, of all the arena rock bands that were great, bands like Aerosmith and The Black Crowes, all these great bands- Nobody did it better than Humble Pie.

Humble Pie, Steve Marriott.

Peter Frampton, of course, Shine On was on the, um, Double Live, Frampton Comes Alive.

You may remember it.

I love that song

... as performed by the English rock band Humble Pie.

Now, I Don't Need No Doctor was originally written as an R&B song by Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson.

You've heard of them-

Now, even a jazz guitarist named John Scofield recorded a version along with John Mayer on additional guitar and vocals.

So this song's been around.

But as I said, my favorite version comes from Humble Pie, and that was released in 1971.

As I mentioned, Humble Pie was an English rock band.

Now, he was born in April 1950.

He was originally, uh, with The Herd and then Humble Pie, but broke loose and, uh, then joined his own solo career.

Great voice box sound as well, just like this.

[audience cheering] Here he is live.

We had several crew that were working there at the plant, and they would live in Marissa for some years.

One of them, the tour manager for Humble Pie, married little Penny, Penny McCall.

I hadn't seen her in years.

They all went their way.

His first solo performance took place on June 6, 1970, at London's Olympia Exhibition Hall.

Backed up by his Pink Floyd replacement, David Gilmour on bass, and Humble Pie drummer Jerry Shirley, both of whom had assisted Syd in the recording of his solo albums.

The gig at Olympia Exhibition Hall was marred by technical difficulties.

Barrett performed just four songs before laying his guitar down on the stage and abruptly walking off.

Single lifted from it that made the charts, Show Me The Way.

Shine On from the same concert, uh, was the, uh, B side of that single, and that was a song he recorded originally when he was in Humble Pie, uh, back in 1971.

Uh, now for...
