"Black Nepalese got you weak in your knees".  Too right.

Saw them, along with Black Sabbath, and Mountain in March of 71 at the Spectrum in Philly while stationed in Ft Dix. Anybody out there who attended the same concert? Amazing the amount of pot smoked by all, just constantly passed down the aisles. Back to Pie; they were the weakest group, but Mountain and B, S. could rock real hard.

Bonus. You can sing "all right now" to this . not that there's anything wrong with that.

This is weird. I'd rated this as a 1 a while back, but listening to it now on the 'phones it's rockin' goodness has gotten to me. Isn't that cover just sooooooo 70s, my dear? I remember me and my mates doodling in that typeface during boring classes at school, as it was what all the cool bands (Bad Company, Deep Purple, etc) were using. It's surely dated now, though. 7 from the volte face Nottingham jury.
 
It happens to me all the time here. . .  2s go to 8s. . . 9s back to 3s.  

I find it fascinating that ones perception of music changes so much depending on how you are feeling that particular day.

Beavis and Butthead love this song.

Growing up I always thought this was Mother's Finest who in my neck of the woods are actually better known than the Pie.  Either way, great song.

Oooh - yeah! Oh, holy crap. I remember dancing to this in the living room of some guy fresh outta high school - he'd snuggle and snog, but I didn't wanna go all the way, and I'm sure that messed him up, but he kept trying. It was my introduction to water-filled headphones. He had the most ear-shattering stereo system, and this song was one of the first things I heard on it. "Hot N' Nasty" was the second. I danced to that one, too.

I just love Humble Pie.  Hot N' Nasty would be a great...



 
HA! When you said 'Hot & Nasty' I immediately thought of the band 'Black Oak Arkansas'. I always that Axel Rose stole that gutteral, nasaly whine from front man Jim Dandy!

Oh yeah!  I haven't heard the "Pie" in probably 30 years and was just thinkin' about how cool it would be to hear these guys again (i.e., my "Humble Pie" vinyl is LONG gone).  Thanks for such a cool blast from the past Bill!

Jerry Shirley did a stint as a DJ here in Cleveland in the late 80's.  Morning Drive even, on WNCX.  Put together a version of the Pie here in town and kept it going for about 10 years.  He got fired for alledgedly letting some money go missing from one of those fill up the truck things at Christmas.  Nice guy, but not the sharpest tool in the shed.  He did tell a lot of really good rock and roll stories.

Few rock singers equaled Steve Marriott in vocal heft.  The perfect voice for the music.  From Itchycoo Park to this, absolutely rocking.

RIP, Steve.

"I don't need no doctor"! 

Early 70's was a real sweet spot during which some great blues based rock was created.

1971 anchored 5 miles off the Mekong delta and had the Pie to keep us company.   Always loved the Pie, both before and after Frampton.  Music lost a great Rock voice when Steve Marriot passed.....{#Bananajam}

Man, it was like, forEVER that I had NO IDEA what the heck they were saying! 30 Days in the Hole!! Right! Wow! I could never understand those words! I think I thought it was something like: "Heard it can't be wrong"?

This was a huge "request" song the summmer of its release by all of us who were stuck in crummy summer jobs and wanted to hear a song that spoke to our "situation." There was much group singing when the chorus came around.

New Castle Brown always smacks me down.My favorite beer. Saw these guys in the day.Steve Marriott had the best live blues voice I've ever heard.He was a small dude with a large voice.These guys could rock!

I guess you weren't around when 'Smokin', the LP this song came from, was released. History lesson, years ago in a country not so far away, possession of a small amount of weed would get you 30 days and a felony conviction...not a 100.00 ticket like today. I'm not promoting weed, just stating a fact. Also, Frampton and Humble Pie were a decent rocking outfit. Check out 'I Don't Need No Doctor'. Hey, they weren't the best but the sure pumped out some decent songs in the early seventies...this being one of them. Good choice Bill.
