About This Item
Four CD set. This ongoing series of Official Bootlegs now reaches it's fourth volume, allowing a glimpse of Humble Pie in their best setting - on stage. CD One was recorded at the Rhein-Neckar-Halle, Eppelheim in Germany on 27th September 1974, and kicks off with the title track from the album they were promoting at the time, 'Thunderbox'. Going back to 11th March 1974 at the Boston Music Hall, a similar set also kicks CD Two off with 'Thunderbox', as well as Chuck Berry's 'No Money Down' from the same album. After delivering 1975's Street Rats LP, Humble Pie split up for the remainder of the decade. Jumping forwards to 1980 when a reformed Pie were promoting their latest InchOn To VictoryInch album, the band could be found on 12th March at JB Scott's Theater, Albany, NY, USA. By this time, Humble Pie featured the vastly underrated line-up of Steve Marriott and Jerry Shirley, joined by Anthony Jones on bass, and the highly talented Bobby Tench on guitar and vocals. Featuring 'Infatuation' and 'Fool For A Pretty Face' from the aforementioned InchOn To VictoryInch, unsurprisingly, the set features 'I Don't Need No Doctor' and 'Hallelujah (I Love Her So)' from InchPerformance Rockin' The FillmoreInch and finishes with a fan-pleasing rock 'n' roll medley of 'Route 66' / 'Be Bop A Lula' / 'Little Queenie' / 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On'. The following year, the band were promoting the InchGo For The ThroatInch album when they hit Milwaukee's The Palms on 19th April 1981. InchGo For The ThroatInch kicked off with a cover of Elvis Presley's 'All Shook Up', included here, as well as revisiting the Small Faces classic, 'Tin Soldier'. With a growing back catalogue, it made sense that tracks would appear in medley form, such as '30 Days in the Hole' / 'Hallelujah (I Love Her So)' / 'I Walk On Gilded Splinters' as well as 'Route 66' / 'Tulsa Time'.
