After the recent thread about Marriott I decided to give Humble Pie a listen and really enjoyed what I heard.
Any fans here? Is there a classic album I should get or is a comp the best bet? Most of what seemed to have Mariott on lead vocals did Frampton sing much?

I second Eddie's recommendation. That's the album that got me hooked.

Eat It is a great album. Very expansive and diverse and a killer KILLER version of Black Coffee and a cool version of Honkey Tonk Woman. A very underrated band, and I wish I could have seen them in the day. Anyone here see them in concert? Give some reviews please.

As a teenager I used to crash into gigs a lot and when I could try to sneak backstage. This I managed to do at my local gig, the Roundhouse in Camden, north London, when Steve Marriott's All Stars came to town.
I walked into the band's dressing room which was fairly large and I wasn't immediately noticed. I sat myself down when Marriott came over, put his arm round my shoulder and in broad Cockney said: 'allo mate, how ya doin?' and proceeded to share a bottle of brandy with me. I'd never drunken anything stronger than beer but I took a swig and tried my hardest not to puke it all back up again.
He settled in next to me, asked me if I enjoyed the show and while he continued to talk to all and sundry around he kept saying "ere, ya go son, 'ave another swig." After 10 minutes I felt positively ill and reeled out of there to sit down in the cold air outside before walking home, completed sozzled. But what a nice man he was.

Toru, did you see them when they were in Japan. I was too young in the early 70's to even know who they were.... and didn't starting listening to them until I was in high school in the 80s. Smokin was the first album by them I got and was captivated by Thirty Days in the Hole.
Ropeni, come on my man! Give more of a story, you saw them several times. What kind of party was it? What were some of their best ones you thought they played live? How was the audience? Give it up....
Right on man, it has it all... sex, drugs and rock and roll.Quote

Yup, probably my favorite Humble Pie song. Thirty Days in the Hole is just a full on swaggering rock and roll extravaganza. Which some wonderful gospel backing vocals.
