Stevie Marriott

Didn't realise that Stevie Marriott was such a fookin' nailed on bluesman.

Just thought that he was a pop riffer.

Thanks for sharing that, I've watched it 5 times now! Just brilliant. I've listened to Humble Pie quite a bit and love the Small Faces but never seen this. Really shocked...but pleasantly surprised.

Small hands and short fingers.......doesn't appear to cause him any problems arou d the fretboard. There's  hope for me yet.

This one with Marriott playing sideman sent tingles up my spine when I first saw it ... 30 years later I still think it's great stuff.  I was never much of an Alexis Korner fan but he had his moments.

Marriot was a hard core blues rock guitarist. Incredibly underestimated. He was biting 'Ying' to Frampton's jazzy 'Yang' in Humble Pie.

try & find a live album he did entitled "packet of three", I have a copy somewhere will try & dig it out for some more info, oops just realised where the clip came from, still an excellent album if you can find a copy

I guess many would have read the biography and the bit where he's so broke he steals carrots from a farmers field...how a man that supremely talented ended up in that position beggars belief. But, there's also a passage where he is off to heathrow to get a flight to germany to supposedly resurrect his career. Halfway there he decides that he'd rather just go home instead.I love that idea! Just tried to do it his own way!
How he doesnt get recognition more widely for what he was and what he did, just very unfairly overlooked in the scheme of things! Check out his daughter, Mollie, signing Every Little Bit Hurts. She's ace too.

As @equalsql knows I'm very much a fan. He was the complete package imo: stellar voice, great player, looked cool as f*** and could write a great song. It's criminal how he ended up with what happened to him. Paolo Hewitt's "All Too Beautiful" is a great read and even better if read in conjunction with Ian McLagan's "All The Rage".

Humble Pie - One of the best live acts l ever saw....blew everyone else away with their sheer energy and raw power.......totally underestimated
