CD Deluxe set/Digital
When Steve Marriott left
the Small Faces to launch a new band in 1968, expectations were high.
Marriott teamed with 18-year-old guitarist Peter Frampton, already a U.K. U.S.
Drawn from four shows played over two consecutive nights at Bill
Graham’s legendary Fillmore East, Performance captured a red-hot band
firing on all cylinders, distilling the crowd-pleasing heavy blues-rock style
that had come to dominate the Brit foursome’s repertoire, and which would help
to lay the foundation for the sound that would soon become known as heavy
metal. Performance caught on in a big way with American listeners,
hitting #21 on the U.S.
Now for the first time, Omnivore Recordings, in conjunction with
Universal Music, have gathered all four shows from Humble Pie’s historic
Fillmore East stand in this lovingly packaged four-CD box set. No editing
or resequencing took place — just the four sets exactly as they were played on
May 28 and 29, 1971. The seven tracks that comprised the original album
are joined here by 15 previously unissued performances — including the
never-before-heard complete first set from May 28.
As a personal comment from Classic Rock radio's Jon Kirkman
"This is one of the all time great Classic Live Albums and as such set the trend for other live albums through the seventies including Humble Pie Member Peter Frampton's World conquering Frampton Comes Alive in the mid seventies"
Jon Kirkman will be interviewing Peter Frampton and Jerry Shirley about the Performance boxed set for a Classic Rock radio feature coming soon to a browser near you
