The release of this concert recording on physical formats will allow fans to experience the energy and virtuosity of Humble Pie's live performances from that era.

The details

By the early 1980s, Steve Marriott's glory days with Humble Pie were behind him commercially, but he remained active and was leading a new version of the band in 1983. The Cincinnati concert recording features fresh arrangements of Humble Pie classics as well as some unexpected covers, showcasing Marriott's continued musical vitality even as he faced health issues. The album was recorded at the now-closed Annie's club in Cincinnati on December 7, 1983 and marks one of the last performances of this incarnation of Humble Pie.
