JOE'S MEMORIES:
I've been a Humble Pie fan since 1969, when I first heard their great cover version of Steppenwolf's "Desperation", from their debut album,
"As Safe As Yesterday Is", on Dick Summer's "Subway" show, on WBZ- AM 1030 in Boston. I got that album right away and Humble Pie has been on my 
"Top Ten Favorite Bands" list ever since. By 1971, we had gotten the "Rock On" and "Performance: Rockin' The Fillmore" albums that got heavy airplay 
on all the Progressive FM stations in the area. Unfortunately, shortly after the Fillmore album was released, Peter Frampton left the band and I never had a 
chance to see the original lineup in concert. Clem Clempson took over the lead guitar and vocals position and, in March 1972, 
Humble Pie was back and stronger than ever, with the album, "Smokin'" and the single, "Hot 'n' Nasty". It was a great album and I had to see them live 
the next time they came to Boston. It took a while, but I finally saw the ad in the Boston Phoenix newspaper for Humble Pie, with opening act Slade. 
I got my tickets as soon as they went on sale and started counting down the days. Humble Pie was a big favorite in Boston, 
as were most other Blues based British bands, so I knew that the crowd would be on their feet and loud. Slade, a band that was not that well known in America, 
opened the show with a high energy, hard rocking set that was perfect for getting everyone prepared for Humble Pie. By the time humble Pie came on stage, 
most of the audience was standing up, with a large crowd  moving down the aisles, towards the front, to stand close to the stage. 
The set started with "Up Our Sleeve" and Steve Marriott was in fine voice and the band sounded great. The shouts of "Sit down!" started, since everyone who stayed in their seats had their view of the stage blocked by the people standing in the front. By the time "C'Mon Everybody" and "Honky Tonk Women" were done, the people down front sat down in the aisles and the people in the seats didn't have to shout anymore. Clem did a nice guitar solo that went into "I Wonder" and that went into "Hallelujah, I Love Her So".  "I Don't Need No Doctor" followed, a little different than the Fillmore version, starting with a little slide guitar "boogie" intro that sounded a little like "Hip Shake" from Exile On Main Street and featuring lots of drummer Jerry Shirley's cowbell sound. That ended the set, but the band came back for a three song encore of "Hot 'n' Nasty", "Four Day Creep" (my personal favorite Humble Pie song) and an extended version of (I'm A) Roadrunner".  There wasn't much more that we could have asked for. There was a great opening band and Humble Pie was at their best!  By the way, the ticket prices were $4.50, $5.50 and $6.50 and no scalpers!  
Those were the days!    

Many Many Thanks To Joe

JOE'S MEMORIES:
I discovered Slade in the summer of 1972, when I heard their live version of Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild", from their album, "Slade Alive". 
 It was completely different from the original, with screaming lead guitar, lead vocals like we'd never heard before and an ending to the song that 
included blaring sirens. After hearing that song, I got the album and became an instant Slade fan. Humble Pie announced their concert date for Boston 
and I was surprised and excited to see that Slade was going to be the opening band and they had a new album, called "Slayed?", to give us more great songs 
to look forward to.  You couldn't ask for a better double bill. Slade was difficult to place in a particular category of music. 
They weren't really a Heavy Metal band, although they did do "heavy" cover versions of other artists songs, so they were put into the 1970's "Glam Rock" 
category, along with other bands like T. Rex and David Bowie's Spiders From Mars.  Lead singer, Noddy Holder, had outfits that looked like they came out of 
a Dickens novel, with his tall top hat, vest, and waistcoat. Lead Guitarist, Dave Hill, looking more "futuristic", was dressed in a silver, leather looking,
"spacesuit" outfit, with knee high leather boots, with his hair long around the sides and back, but cut in short bangs in the front. 
They were different from any other band of the time and they did an energetic and hard rocking opening set for Humble Pie. 
They kicked it off with an excellent version of Ten Years After's "Hear Me Calling" and followed that with "Move Over", the Janis Joplin classic. 
They slowed it down a bit and did their version of The Lovin' Spoonful's "Darling Be Home Soon", then went back into high gear for the last four songs of 
the set. Their performance ended with "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", a song that would become a true "Heavy Metal" hit, eleven years later, in 1983, 
when it was covered by Quiet Riot, who would follow that with their biggest hit, Slade's "Cum On Feel The Noize!. 
(Quiet Riot's lead singer, Kevin DuBrow, had a vocal style that was almost identical in sound to Noddy Holder). 
Judging by the standing and cheering audience reaction to this first exposure to a live Slade performance, if there were some who weren't Slade fans 
when they came in, the surely were when they went home.  Although they didn't do their rave up version of "Born To Be Wild", by the end of the set, 
it didn't really matter. This was a great set by a band that just never seemed to find widespread popularity here in America.  
They did get some belated, well deserved recognition in the 1980s, when Metal fans discovered that Slade had done the original versions 
of those Quiet Riot hits. Slade, with it's original members, maintained widespread popularity in Europe and in the U.K. for another twenty years, 
until Noddy Holder and Bassist, Jimmy Lea, left the band in 1992. Listen to this performance, then go get the "Slade Alive" and "Slayed?" albums, 
then sit back and listen to some "roots" of Heavy Metal! 

Many Many Thanks To Joe
