Humble Pie was in a transitional phase in their career during the time of the live recording titled "Say No More," which showcases performances from their peak era. This recording is associated with their album "Rock on," released in 1971. At this point, the band was gaining momentum, and their live performances reflected their growing popularity, particularly after the success of their earlier work. Humble Pie, known for their high-energy shows and a blend of rock, blues, and boogie, had already cemented their reputation through their unique sound and the charisma of frontman Steve Marriott. An interesting fact is that Marriott's guitar work and vocal prowess were significant draws during live performances, helping to establish the band's live reputation, which was critical as they transitioned from studio recordings to engaging audiences on stage.
