Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 2

Description
Hot on the heels of last year’s Humble Pie’s Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 1 comes the Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 2, collating rare and previously (officially) unreleased live shows that were illicitly recorded between 1971 and 1981.

Originally emerging from the remnants of The Small Faces, Humble Pie formed in 1969 when guitarist and vocalist Steve Marriott joined forces with Peter Frampton, drummer Jerry Shirley and bassist Greg Ridley, and began their ascent to conquering the theatres and then arenas of North America, culminating in 1972’s double live Performance: Rockin’ The Filmore. Frampton left in 1971 for a highly successful solo career, replaced by Colosseum’s Clem Clempson, and it was this line-up that was captured in New York in 1971 at one of Clem’s first shows with the Pie. The extemporisations of Performance: Rockin’ The Filmore became the basis for much of Humble Pie’s live repertoire for the remainder of the ’70s, but this 1971 New York show does include their unique take of Eddie Cochran’s ‘C’mon Everybody’ and ‘I Wonder’ from the soon to be released Smokin’ LP.

Their March 1972 set from Boston also includes ‘The Fixer’ and ‘(I’m A) Road Runner’ (also from their Smokin’ opus, as well as ‘Four Day Creep’, and Ray Charles’ classics ‘Hallelujah (I Love Her So)’ and ‘I Don’t Need No Doctor’ from their Fillmore set.

Humble Pie would split in 1975 following their Street Rats record, but not before their Philadelphia show on March 15, 1975, captured on Disc 3. Disc 3 is completed by three tracks featuring the Blackberries, including ‘Oh La-De-Da’ from Thunderbox.

The Pie would reform for 1980’s On To Victory comeback, this time with a line-up featuring Bobby Tench from the Jeff Beck Group on guitar and vocals and bassist Anthony “Sooty” Jones. Disc 4 from Privates Club, N.Y.C., March 25, 1981 features ‘Infatuation’ and ‘Fool For A Pretty Face’ from the latest On To Victory, plus their take on Elvis’s classic ‘All Shook Up’ and their reworking of Small Faces’ classic ‘Tin Soldier’ from their soon to be released Go For The Throat.

Recorded a month later, their show from the Country Club, Reseda, Los Angeles on May 17, 1981, completes this collection on Disc 5 with a mixture of Pie classics as well as new numbers from On To Victory and Go For The Throat.

As well as plenty of rare memorabilia, the booklet features an essay from Malcolm Dome based on new interviews with Pie drummer, Jerry Shirley, as well as first-hand accounts from Humble Pie associate, Iain McGonigal.

Whilst every effort has been made to produce the best possible audio, limitations in the material drawn from various, non-standard, and un-offical sources means that the quality may not be up to the standard usually expected. All tracks have been included for their historical importance, and to present an anthology of Humble Pie live on stage from 1971-1981. The Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 2 is a raw testament to what this band did best; playing bluesy, gutsy, soulful hard rock, live on stage. Drawn from a variety of mainly audience recordings that have previously only been available as “under the counter” pirate releases, this is an honest, often unforgiving, tribute to a classic and much missed ’70s super-group.

Back On Track/Live In Cleveland

Description
The late 1960s was the era of the “super-group”, and with the dissolution of the Small Faces and the Herd, Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton joined forces in 1969 to record for Andrew Loog Oldham’s Immediate label, joined by drummer Jerry Shirley and bassist Greg Ridley. Frampton moved on to huge solo acclaim following the obligatory double live LP, Performance: Rockin’ The Fillmore, an album that would become Humble Pie’s template on stage for the next decade.

Joined by former Pie alumnus, Greg Ridley on bass and Bobby Tench from the Jeff Beck Group on guitar and vocals, drummer Jerry Shirley enlisted Bad Company guitarist Dave “Bucket” Colwell in 2001 for a new line-up and record from Humble Pie. Their 11th studio album, Back On Track, has much to offer fans of classic Humble Pie as much as fans of classic, blues-based hard rock. Produced with Andy Jackson, famed for his work with Pink Floyd, the album also features guest appearances from Zoot Money on Hammond organ. The album was recorded at Jacobs Studios near Farnham in Surrey, as well as David Gilmour’s famed houseboat Astoria Studios, between December 2001 and January 2002, and released the following month. 16 years on, Back On Track remains a worthy addition to the Humble Pie catalogue.

Going back a further 12 years, Jerry Shirley and Humble Pie were touring with a line-up featuring Charlie Huhn, Wally Stocker and Sean Beavan, with a set heavily peppered with Performance: Rockin’ The Fillmore classics including ‘Four Day Creep’, ‘Stone Cold Fever’, ‘I Don’t Need No Doctor’ and ‘Hallelujah (I Love Her So)’, as well as a cover of The Babys’ ‘Head First’ and ‘Fool For A Pretty Face’ from the Pie’s On To Victory. Captured at the legendary Agora in Cleveland, Ohio on January 12, 1990, this mid-west venue is evidently a stronghold of Humble Pie fans, if the audience reaction is anything to go by.

With plenty of rare pictures, and a new essay with Malcolm Dome based on interviews with Jerry Shirley, HNE are pleased to add this set by a legendary band to their extensive catalogue.
