"Thirty days in the hole" |

|  | I've got to admit it's getting better | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: Duluth, Georgia | | This came out during my formative years, and I couldn't get enough of it. These guys and Grand Funk were nearly always trashed by the critics, though. But I didn't care. Both bands played high energy rock that I was really into.
A few years later, Frampton LIVE eclipsed any previous live rock album in terms of popularity. And it rocked too!

Do I get extra points for having the original vinyl recording... and having it on the turntable in the last 30 days?
I think Humble Pie was the 3rd or 4th concert I ever saw. 40 or so years ago and still one of my favorites.

| | | | I'm a bit late to the party, but as a huge prog-head growing up, the Pie were my favorite non-prog band.
I loved the three-way vocal tradeoffs on the early albums, with Steve, Greg and Peter each handling a line of a verse or chorus.
It's too bad Steve and Greg are no longer with us and didn't get a chance to record together again although Greg did get back with Peter, Clem and Jerry for a few reunion shows.
Anyone pick up the "Scrubbers Sessions" album that came out in the 90's? It was supposed to be released after "Thunderbox" but the record company rejected it and they went back and started from scratch and did "Street Rats" instead. Some mighty eclectic stuff on this release.
