Steve Marriott: Live in Concert

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Live Show
Review: Excellent live show from the late, great, former Humble Pie and Small Faces frontman. This is a 1985 concert from Steve's Packet of Three band which was a power trio that toured Europe from 1983 to 1987. Steve along with Bassist Jim Leverton and former Humble Pie Drummer Jerry Shirley put on an excellent show that rocks from beginning to end. The video quality is excellent and the 5.1 mix is superb. The only negative is that concert clocks in at only about 47 minutes although there is a 15 minute interview with Steve also included. Sadly, Steve passed away in a house fire in 1991 at the age of 44 just as he was beginning to work with Peter Frampton to reform Humble Pie. After seeing this video I think you will agree that Steve was an extraordinary talent who is sadly missed. Songs: What Ya Gonna Do About It, Fool For A Pretty Face, Shame, Shame, Shame, All Or Nothing, Five Long Years, 30 Days In The Hole, I Don't Need No Doctor, Walking The Dog, and Tin Soldier.

Summary: MARRIOTT LIVES ON
Review: I was fortunate enough to catch the U.K.'s premier blues shouter fronting Humble Pie twice (The Capital Centre - April 10, 1980 and The Bayou - March 04, 1981). Steve and the boys torn it up in both the arena and the club. It just didn't matter. Sad to say, all 3 (Steve, The Cap Centre, and The Bayou) are now gone. The good news is that he (along with Jim Leverton and Jerry Shirley as The Packet Of Three) was captured live in '85 at the Camden Palace Theatre in London powering through a 9 song set that serves as an excellent record of the power of Marriott. R.I.P. Steve, you'll by sorely missed.

Summary: Great for Small Faces fans
Review: This DVD shows that matchless frontman Steve Marriott still in his prime, belting out some great tunes: Watcha Gonna Do About It, the classic All Or Nothing and others. Includes an interview as well, and a brief bio. Too bad he's no longer with us. How can you not love this man?
