Taper's Comments:

1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!

2 - Show description & comments follow:


"Painter's Mill Star Theatre" was in the Baltimore suburbs. It was one of those theatre in
the round joints, that had a rotating stage in the middle, although it never rotated for any
of the shows I saw there. Being stationary likely made 20% - 25% of the seats unusable,
as they would have been behind the stage, and the view obstructed. It had previously
been known as "Painter's Mill Music Fair". I guess it held maybe a couple thousand folks.
It burned to the ground years later. It was rumored that it had been torched for the
insurance.

Sadly, this was the only time I ever got to see the great Steve Marriott. The weather was
horrible, and it was practically a blizzard. The place only had hundreds, when it could have
fit a lot more. I'm sure a lot of folks who had tickets just didn't come because of the
weather. This was the Mk. 3 version of the band, working off the success of "Fool For A
Pretty Face", the last Humble Pie hit, at least here in the States. As in a lot of the
"Painter's Mill" shows, the vocal mix could have been higher, but it's not horrible here. The
Baltimore News-American newspaper reviewed the show as "Humble Pie Serves Some
Glorious Noise", and that about summed it up! Steve made lots of drug and booze
related comments, and even hit up a hash pipe on stage before the encore. Too
bad he didn't learn not to smoke in bed, as we'd still have this great vocalist with us
today. Enjoy!
