Humble Pie Reunion L.A. 27th January 1991 - Floppy Boot Stomp

 HUMBLE PIE 

Reformed!

We can all too easily forget how great a blues rock guitarist Stevie Marriott actually was and here with Peter Frampton who upon his return to the UK talked Steve into reforming Humble Pie for a somewhat short lived tour and venues in the US interrupted by Steve missing home too much it would seem . . . . . the quality of this is really worth checking out and the pub rock roughness is gone and production values show off the two to great effect!

Thanks to Jobe over at Floppy Boot Stomp


Pete Frampton \ Steve Marriot :: Reformed Humble Pie 1991 - Floppy Boot Stomp




Jobe notes:

By 1990 Marriott was playing an average 200 gigs a year, when Frampton flew into Britain and asked Marriott to reform Humble Pie to produce a one-off album and a reunion tour. The payment would allow Marriott to take things easier. He agreed, and they flew out to Frampton's studio in Los Angeles on the twenty-seventh of January 1991. They began writing songs, but the project was never completed, as Marriott had a change of heart and returned home. See scans

The Story of Humble Pie - Louder Sounds


Someone dropped by the Mothership (Floppy Boot Stomp) with a note that the second track on this is by Cochise and has Stevie solely on backing vocals only and you know what, it seem he is right. So in researching it everyone who has pushed the bootleg uses this track and doesn't acknowledge it correctly at all so I figure we can be forgiven. It is interesting though  . . . . . . and in hunting around I found the above article which is a doozie for fans of Stevie, Pete Frampton, (what a truly lovely guy! 'the best band I ever played in' he says) and Humble Pie and there's a clip of 'Shine On' from the Stevie Marriott Memorial concert.

Play that! . . . . .  to make up for any mistakes

Just share....there's quite an overwhelming book about Stevie "All or Nothing: The Story of Steve Marriott"
by Simon Spence. Almost a documentary as Spence says almost nothing but has incredible "quotes" by everyone imaginable....bandmates, wives, other books. A sad tale to a great extent but the greatest is totally confirmed. My favorite tale...When Mick Taylor left the Stones, Keith wanted Stevie. So he came. Did subdued for a while & finally couldnt help "joining!!!" Jaegger on a vocal. All I can say is...Could you imagine!. Mickey vetoed & went with a diminutive character.
