I saw Humble Pie in 1971 at John Carroll University Gymnasium. Peter was still with the band at that time. A band I'd never heard of before opened the show, Glass Harp!

Dang, what a concert, Jeff!
For a quick tangent: Glass Harp was master guitarist Phil Keaggy's first widely touring and recording band. Daniel Pecchio was the bassist.
From the Glass Harp website: "While the band dissolved (in 1973) on the cusp of achieving mainstream rock stardom, they garnered a large and loyal regional following. National notoriety followed as they toured with the likes of Traffic, Yes, The Kinks, Humble Pie, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, and Grand Funk Railroad."

Ater that HP concert I bought all the available (at the time) LPs. Then I got It Makes Me Glad when it was released. I've see the band a few times since, the last being in 2012, and I've seen Phil many times over the years, too. When I had electric guitars (I just play acoustics, these days) I used Phil's volume swell technique (the PRS Custom 24 had the best placement for the volume control to do so, for me).
I'm glad you followed Phil after the Harp concert. Pretty much anyone who's ever seen him live becomes a life-long fan. An amazing talent!
I see you are from NE Ohio, and that explains a lot. Glass Harp built a big following up there in their home area.
