Cool rock n roll photos

I've seen a ton of concerts in the '70s and through the years; but Humble Pie might have been my very favorite. Amazingly awesome...

I got to see Humble Pie (post Peter Frampton) in concert in the 70s and the last minute replacement opening act was Gentle Giant who I never heard of before that night. Wow! What a concert! I was already a Humble Pie fan but became an instant Gentle Giant fan and remain one until today.

You played with Moe Tucker… that’s very cool! A genuine icon.

I don’t want to completely derail the thread but can i ask, what was she like?
She was a nice lady in our limited interactions. Maybe a little grumpy at times, but I'd probably feel the same if I was part of a hugely influential band yet apparently working at Wal-Mart 20 years later to make ends meet. Her solo songs were alright. My buddy on guitar and I were recruited because we were in the same town as the drummer in her band and halfway between Moe in small-town Georgia and her rhythm guitarist and manager in South Florida. We suspected those latter two people (a couple) were taking advantage of her to some extent. She sent a nice Christmas card later that year, wish I'd kept it.
