It’s Steve Marriott’s birthday so what better time to share this documentary on the frontman of two legendary rock bands, Small Faces and Humble Pie.
The Life And Times Of Steve Marriot contains interviews with Peter Frampton, Jerry Shirley, and Greg Ridley, the Black Crowes’s Chris Robinson, Rick Nielsen and Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick, John Waite, Bad Company/Free drummer Simon Kirke, Quiet Riot’s Kevin Dubrow, Ricky Byrd and Marriott historian John Heller among others.
Songs included: “Tin Soldier,” “Itchycoo Park,” “Lazy Sunday,” “Paradise Lost,” “Take Me Back,” “Natural Born Woman,” “Alabama 69,” “Sad Bag of Shaky Jake,” “Stone Cold Fever,” “For Your Love,” “4-Day Creep,” “30-Days In The Hole,” “I Don’t Need No Doctor,” “Hot n’ Nasty,” “Black Coffee,” “Bigger They Come,” and “I Won’t Let You Down.”
Not a bad doc. A little too much Frampton and I wish there was some in-depth interviews with Marriott. But well-worth watching. This was released on DVD years ago and has long been out-of-print.
