Humble Pie- Rockin’the Fillmore- Peter Frampton, Jerry Shirley
In Fall 1971 the guy rooming next door to me in the freshman dorm actually had a better record collection and more extensive knowledge of rock and roll than I did. Pity I can’t recall his name, but I’m forever in his debt for turning me onto ZZ TOP’s First Album and Humble Pie Rock On . So later that same autumn when Humble Pie released the double live set Performance:Rockin’ the Fillmore , I was ready when the full fiery amalgam was unleashed of Small Faces veteran Steve Marriot’s megawatt blue-eyed soul voice, the thundering rhythm section of ex-Spooky Tooth bass player Greg Ridley and drummer Jerry Shirley, with the melodic lyrical lead guitar of a teenage yet veteran Herdsman Peter Frampton. Frampton and Shirley join me In The Studio for this slice of Humble Pie classic rock interview.-Redbeard
