Another of the great live shows recorded is the Humble Pie "Performance Rockin 'The Fillmore", an incredible exercise in mastering blues rock and soulful strokes by a band that was already legendary and had the great Steve Marriott in front of him. He was joined by the innate talent of Peter Frampton's fantastic guitar and the formidable rhythm section of Greg Ridley and Jerry Shirley.
The double album consists almost exclusively of versions of classic blues and rocks, all of them performed with the band's personal touch, even surpassing the originals in some of them.
A direct incendiary that began with the powerful "Four Day Creep" to continue with the versions of Willie Dixon; "I'm Ready" with a superb work by Marriott on guitar.
Another example of the majesty on stage of this band is "I Walk on Gilded Splinters" with its 23 minutes of uncontrolled energy. With those same forms of interaction with the public we find Muddy Waters "'Rollin' Stone", with Marriott's voice as the backbone.
To close this explosive recital we have the bestial "I Don't Need No Doctor", one of the most legendary songs by this glorious band.
Rockin 'The Fillmore Performance, is one of the best recorded live shows in the history of Rock & Roll, comparable to At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band, Double Live Gonzo by Ted Nugent, Made in Japan by Deep Purple or Live at Leeds from The Who to name just a few examples.
