Drawn from a variety of mainly audience recordings that have previously only been available as “under the counter” pirate releases, this is an honest, and often unforgiving, tribute to a classic and much missed ’70s supergroup. Humble Pie’s Official Bootleg Box Set Volume 1 is a raw testament to what this band did best playing bluesy, gutsy, soulful and often hard rock, live on stage to an adoring audience. Shirley's 2001 version of the band dissolved in 2002 when Greg Ridley fell ill.Humble_Pie-Official_Bootleg_Box_Set_Volume_1-(HNEBOX083)-BOXSET-3CD-FLAC-2017-WREįLAC (tracks) 16 bit/ 44,1kHz | Time – 03:42:12 minutes | 1.3 GB | Genre: Rock The concert featured a one of re-union line up of Peter Frampton, Clem Clempson, Greg Ridley and Jerry Shirley.

They developed a strong reputation as a live act in USA but never released any official studio recordings. While Huhn and Shirley were the only permanent members of the group several other musicians appeared from time to time including Wally Stocker formerly of Rod Stewart's band and Cleveland guitarist Alan Greene. This time the line up included vocalist Charlie Huhn, who also played lead and rhythm guitar. The band began performing concerts and was based in Cleveland, Ohio USA.

Humble Pie toured USA as part of the Rock 'N' Roll Marathon bill and recorded the album Go for the Throat. They recorded the album On to Victory which was released in 1980.
