This ongoing series of ôOfficial Bootlegsö now reaches its fourth volume, allowing a glimpse of Humble Pie in their best setting û on stage. In those days there was no MTV, no YouTube and no social media, and music was largely ôundergroundö, often by choice. Groups like Humble Pie didnÆt appear on Top Of The Pops, you wouldnÆt find them in the tabloid newspapers, nor did they have hit singles, but their popularity on the American live concert circuit in particular was immense. Witness the fact that these concert CDs are being released 40+ odd years later.CD1 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, æThunderboxÆ. Although it was their ôPerformance: RockinÆ The Fillmoreö double LP that propelled them into the hearts of the record buying public - especially in America - from which their version of æI Don't Need No DoctorÆ originally appeared, it was 1972Æs ôSmokinÆö that features heavily here, with æThe FixerÆ, æ30 Days In The HoleÆ, Eddie CochranÆs æC'mon EverybodyÆ and æSweet Peace And TimeÆ included in a hard rockinÆ set.Going back to 11th March 1974 at the Boston Music Hall, a similar set also kicks CD2 off with æThunderboxÆ, as well as Chuck BerryÆs æNo Money DownÆ from the same album. Again, the set finishes with Ray CharlesÆ æI Don't Need No DoctorÆ from ôPerformance: RockinÆ The Fillmoreö.After delivering 1975Æs ôStreet Ratsö LP, Humble Pie split up for the remainder of the decade. Jumping forwards to 1980 when a reformed Pie were promoting their latest ôOn To Victoryö 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 æInfatuationÆ and æFool For A Pretty FaceÆ from the aforementioned ôOn To Victoryö, unsurprisingly, the set features æI Don't Need No DoctorÆ and æHallelujah (I Love Her So)Æ from ôPerformance: RockinÆ The Fillmoreö and finishes with a fan-pleasing rock ænÆ roll medley of æRoute 66Æ / æBe Bop A LulaÆ / æLittle QueenieÆ / æWhole Lotta ShakinÆ GoinÆ OnÆ.The following year, the band were promoting the ôGo For The Throatö album when they hit MilwaukeeÆs The Palms on 19th April 1981. ôGo For The Throatö kicked off with a cover of Elvis PresleyÆs æAll Shook UpÆ, included here, as well as revisiting the Small Faces classic, æTin SoldierÆ. With a growing back catalogue, it made sense that tracks would appear in medley form, such as æ30 Days in the HoleÆ / æHallelujah (I Love Her So)Æ / æI Walk On Gilded SplintersÆ as well as æRoute 66Æ / æTulsa TimeÆ.
