Another Pie show from the box of loose tapes...Humble Pie's homecoming show in 1972 at the London Coliseum was a triumphant return and appears to not be widely circulated. This was the second night of a nine date UK tour after returning from an extended tour of the US, I don't know if it's due to being a "homecoming" show or maybe sharing the bill with 'Frampton's Camel' (Spirit Of The Water opened as well) or a combination of the two but the boys play this show with an extra bit of vim and vigor. The improv and solos seem a bit longer, a bit more emotional and even a bit more raw and that's saying something for a Humble Pie show. Unfortunately, quality is typical for the era but quite listenable and the performance makes up for the quality shortfall.
Once again thanks to Butterking from JEMS for the use of the NAK DR-1 while my NAK is down and out.
