A single, “Big Black Dog”, was released to coincide with the album and failed to chart, however the band was becoming known for popular live rock shows in the US. The group’s first album for A&M, Humble Pie, was released later that year and alternated between progressive rock and hard rock.
Anthony was focused on the US market and discarded the acoustic set, instigating a more raucous sound with Marriott as the front man. Recent tape archives show that the band recorded around 30 songs in its first nine months of existence, many of which remained unreleased for decades, including a cover of Henry Glover’s “Drown in My Own Tears”.ĭuring 1970, Humble Pie switched to A&M Records and Dee Anthony became their manager. Humble Pie concerts at this time featured an acoustic set, with a radical re-working of Graham Gouldman’s “For Your Love” as its centerpiece followed by an electric set.

Their second album, Town and Country released in the UK during 1969 while the band was away on its first tour of the US.

It was this line-up that was captured at the Arie Crown Theatre, Chicago on 22nd September 1972, whilst touring to promote that year's "Smokin'" opus, from which 'Up Our Sleeve', 'Honky Tonk Women', 'I Wonder' and 'Four Day Creep' were taken.In January 1969 Steve Marriott, having just left Small Faces, got together with Greg Ridley, Peter Frampton and Jerry Shirley, who had been the drummer for the mod band Apostolic Intervention. Frampton then left to pursue a highly acclaimed solo career, to be replaced by Clem Clempson.
After two albums for Immediate Records, Humble Pie switched to A&M, and began their ascent to conquering the theatres and arenas of North America, culminating in 1972's double live "Performance: Rockin' The Filmore".

Drawn from a variety of mainly audience recordings that have previously only been available as "under the counter" pirate releases, this is an honest, and often unforgiving tribute to a classic and much missed 70s super-group, released with full involvement from Pie founder member and drummer, Jerry Shirley. Humble Pie's Official Bootleg Collection Volume 1 is a raw testament to what this band did best playing bluesy, gutsy, soulful and often hard rock, live on stage to an adoring audience.
