Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Formed in 1969 by pop stars (Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton) in search of “heavier” options, Humble Pie were one of the first supergroups. Despite an early hit, they lacked commercial impact until this live album, culled from four shows in New York. Featuring a 20-minute jam on Dr John's “I Walk on Gilded Splinters”, it became a cornerstone of the 1970s boogie boom, helping set the groundwork for heavy rock, the success of Southern rockers such as The Allman Brothers Band, and the mega-success of Frampton. His guitar work is fluid and stinging, while Marriott's cockney-sparrer charm and soul vocals offer an engaging focus. Reissued with the shows in their entirety, the result is... too much, man. Literally.
