HUMBLE PIE TOUR ARCHIVE
updated 4/8/2023
Background
This is a website dedicated to the archival of Humble Pie tour dates from the beginning in August 1969 until March 1975 when the classic Humble Pie ended with their “Goodbye Tour”. Over time we hope this archival collection will include setlists, photos, ticket stubs, posters, performance reviews and of course details of each concert date,including location, venue, headlining/support acts, number of shows, cancellations,etc. We will only achieve this with your help. So that is why we have included links to the Humble Pie Tour Archive as it exists today.
Background
Steve Marriott (guitar & vocals) formerly of The Small Faces formed Humble Pie in early 1969. He recruited Peter Frampton formerly of The Herd (guitar & vocals), Greg Ridley formerly of Spooky Tooth (bass & vocals) and Jerry Shirley formerly of Little Women (drums) in the middle of the rock and roll explosion known as the British Invasion, Part II. Humble Pie #1 released their debut album in July 1969 “As Safe As Yesterday” on the Immediate label. This album and the December 1969 follow up “Town & Country” could be best described as mellow, countrified, acoustic anything but hard driving rock & roll/R&B based that Humble Pie later became famous for. They toured under these albums until early 1970.
Upon the bankruptcy of their Immediate record label, Humble Pie hired new management, Dee Anthony and signed on with A&M Records, a label familiar to Greg Ridley as they were Spooky Tooth’s record label, as well as the label for Procol Harum, Free, Joe Cocker and Fairport Convention. In July 1970 Humble Pie released “Humble Pie" on the A&M label which began to display the power that most rock & roll fans would come to know and love about the live Humble Pie. Under new management and a new record label they began to tour and conquer the U.S. They toured exhaustively beginning in July 1970 and continued almost non-stop until September 1971 when Peter Frampton left the band. During this period Humble Pie #1 released two more albums, “Rock On” in March 1971 and the historic “Performance-Rockin’ The Fillmore” live album in November 1971. This album, culled from four performances over two nights at the famed Fillmore East in New York on 5/28 & 5/29/1971, put Humble Pie on the rock & roll map to stay.
Ironically, just prior to the release of their definitive live album, Peter Frampton left the band to go solo. In October 1971, Steve recruited guitarist Dave “Clem” Clempson formerly of Colosseum and Bakerloo to replace Frampton. Shortly after Clempson joined the band, this version of Humble Pie began touring and basically did not stop until they broke up in March 1975. They recorded four additional albums, “Smokin’” in March 1972, “Eat It” in April 1973, “Thunderbox” in February 1974 and “Street Rats” in February 1975. “Street Rats” was released while Humble Pie #2 was on their “Goodbye Tour”.
