I think it was '72, the year that 'Rockin' The Fillmore' came out. That band was the first band that I had seen that took rock from hippy-land into putting on a kickass show as a band. Marriott was an amazing singer, Frampton (love him or hate him) rocked out in that band, and Jerry Shirley and Greg Ridley were an awesome rhythm section.
As was HP's custom, they kicked the tour off in Philly (the first American city they'd ever played as Small Faces), and they ripped the place apart.
It was at the Spectrum in Philly, and J. Geils and the Allman Brothers opened the show. I think the ticket cost 6 bucks.
