    It was the summer of 1971. We were dirt poor , hard headed , loud mouthed teenagers with a spirit of adventure. Terry Thompson, Juan (Poncho Grande) Fuentes, Jacky Ray Thompson, Dennis (the yellow duck) Dibble, Sandra Lou Bemis and myself,drove to Joplin Mo. to see our very first Live Concert! This song was one of there first hits and we all left feeling a little"funny" after the smoke filled experience....It was a bond that has lasted 50 years.

      Humble Pie was a super group The original band line-up had lead vocalist and guitarist Steve Marriott from Small Faces, vocalist and guitarist Peter Frampton from The Herd, former Spooky Tooth bassist Greg Ridley and, Jerry Shirley, from The Apostolic Intervention. Marriott was an incredible talent.

      If you can write good music--they don't want you. They want it all. The recording companies that is.

    Killer solos starting at 3:05 - absolutely nails it. He has that guitar screaming and the crowd is going apeshit - rock and roll lightning strikes at that moment.

    I saw them in the late 70's. Years later, I was stationed in San Antonio and was driving on the highway and saw the sign China Grove city limits. You know what song I had to hear when I got home.

  • @BirdYoumans
    @BirdYoumans Před 9 měsíci +1

    I started out in bands back in the 60's when all of us played together and could do it live. I must admit, now that we all have the technology in our own personal computers to sound a bit band like on our own if we can play a few instruments I do it like that now. But it's nothing like having 4 or 5 comrades that can play up there doin' it together. This is from those magic days when groups created great music together, each giving it their best. Today's music will never compete with that. I count my blessings that my younger days were from that time. Sadly, we can never go back. These guys just rock like it's supposed to be. There are probably those that would disagree, but you just had to be there to know what I'm talkin' about. Fortunately there are a few groups left from that time that still carry on the tradition, but for how much longer can they do it? We are all getting on up in age. These guys are just amazing for how long they have lasted.

    Had the privilege to see and listen to them at Blossom in Cleveland July 12th 2022 and they were awesome. They have not missed a beat and reflected back to the 80's and was just like yesterday. Loved every moment of it. Thank you to all in the band including Michael McDonald who had seemed not to age, thanks be to God. Many blessings to you all for adding just alittle bit of joy to all of us. Peace be with you.

      There's a good reason a ton of indie bands (particularly The Protomen) are trying to bring back the 70's/80's rock sounds. And that is because so much of what is on today sucks in comparison.
