I grew up in Philly, and that’s where the Small Faces played their first US show. Because they were so well received, Mariott made it a point to open every US tour in Philly. I saw them twice at the Spectrum in Philly, and I had literally never seen a band with such great rock star moves. They were no slouches musically, either.

Back when a lot of performers stood stock still on stage, Humble Pie became a very tough act to follow.

oh yeah, Marriott was kick ass, his band really….saw them only once, at the Grande ball Room in Detroit I think….they did a very cool acoustic thing…they were huge in Detroit where they kill you if you don’t tear up the joint…good times
