about
Humble Pie is a British rock band originally active from 1969 to 1975, with later reunions and lineups continuing into the 21st century. The group is noted for its hard rock sound and dynamic live performances, particularly during its early 1970s period on A&M Records. The band was formed in 1969 and initially consisted of Steve Marriott (formerly of Small Faces), Peter Frampton (from The Herd), Greg Ridley (from Spooky Tooth), and Jerry Shirley (from The Apostolic Intervention). Their formation drew media attention due to the prior success of its members, and the band was occasionally referred to as a "supergroup." The members began rehearsing at Marriott's cottage in Moreton, Essex, and signed to Immediate Records, a label managed by Andrew Loog Oldham. Humble Pie's debut single "Natural Born Boogie" reached number five on the UK Singles Chart in 1969. It was followed by two albums that year: "As Safe As Yesterday Is," which featured a progressive rock style, and "Town and Country," which had a more acoustic character. Their live performances during this period often featured both acoustic and electric sets. In 1970, following the collapse of Immediate Records, the band signed with A&M Records. They released the albums "Humble Pie" and "Rock On" that year, incorporating elements of progressive and boogie rock. Their 1971 live album "Performance Rockin' the Fillmore" captured a concert at the Fillmore East in New York City and became one of their most commercially success
