Review:
Great band, terrible sound
I took a risk on this album because I was at The Valley in
1974 and saw Humble Pie's set. They were
terrific, and I thought a record of it would be good. Sadly the sound quality on this and the other
recordings is very poor.
Humble Pie were a fine band and you can get glimpses of it
here, but for me the terrible recordings make it impossible to enjoy. However good the shows were, this sort of
quality should not be sold commercially, in my view – certainly not without
very clear warnings to the buying public.
Rather than reliving part of a great day in 1974, I find I'm straining
to get much sense of any real coherence in the sound and failing to enjoy the
music. It's a shame, but I can't
recommend this.
