Humble Pie were ok, I still got Thunderbox somewhere, lovely lp sleeve. Anyone remeber when they where the Small Faces, to my mind even better, the best psychedelic brit band around, Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake was the album. Those who havent heard this, give it a blast. Marriot AT HIS BEST.
heh ... mayall, "room to move" 
clapton did a spell with them before "cream" i think. beck's "blow by blow" produced by george martin ... fine album. i really loved jeff beck group, personally AFTER stewart, when they had bobby tench singing ... rockin funky.
i don't need no doctor ... frampton was with the pie for rockin' the fillmore, you can hear him singing really clearly on the background vocals, and the guitar solo is pure frampton.

High-end stereo equipment was very inexpensive at Patch Barracks in West Germany for US military members. Reel-to-reels, the 'new' technology, cassette decks with Bose sound reduction, amps, pre-amps, tuners, turntables, blah, blah, blah, blah..........
My idiotic roommate came from a comfortable family in New Jersey and they sent Junior a few hundred dollars to buy his dream stereo system.
He loved Humble Pie and especially "30 Days In the Hole" and he played that song over and over and over and over. It's this song as well as "Stairway To Heaven" that prevents me from listening to an oldies station.
You can only hear a specific song so many times in a single lifetime. LOL

What years were you in the Stuttgart area? I remember all too well listening to a dozen or more tunes simultaneously as everyone played power wars with their amp/speaker combos. Really miss the concert scene over there in the late 70's.

I was stationed at Heilbron from June 1972 until July 1973 when I got an early out to go back to school. Our barracks were old pre-WWI calvary barracks. The horse stalls were in the basement which the Army used for storage and to hide stuff from the IG best I could figure out.
Not bad duty actually - doing the Army's 'hash tour' in Europe was definitely better than serving in Vietnam (the US Army's 'China White' and 'Cambodian Red' tour) or the Panama Canal Zone (the US Army's cocaine and 'Panama Red' tour)
The concert scene was incredible. Except for seeing Uriah Heep live and in person. That one concert was all it took to give away all of their albums.
The lead guitarist sounded like he was playing his Fender Stratocaster with mittens on and it was even worse for their base player. God that was some crappy music!
America was big. Grateful Dead sold out and recorded a live album in '72. Isle of Wright Concert was huge - cheap hash ($1.25 per gram on 'payday stakes' and $1.00 with cash), lots of variety - Chokin' Red, Paper Dynamite, Pakistani marketed as Afghani (LOL), Lebanese (my favorite) and Moroccan (which was basically kief pressed lightly - good stuff).
What years were you there?

Sounds like you were there in the good hash days, by the end of the 70's the only thing going around was morphine green @ $20/gr (absolute worst hash ever!) Know about those old WWII barracks all too well; when we took over Panzer Kasserne in Boeblingen in the early 70's there were still swastikas over every doorway; when I got there in the mid 70's there were these big iron circles with 4 cut marks over each door. Our NCO club manager handled a lot of the concert security in that area, so if we weren't out in the boonies somewhere we were usually being paid to attend the concerts, amazing the contraband that scared, young GI's will turn over to you at the gate when asked, lol. Favorite show was an open air fest in Nuremberg back in '79, and seeing Led Zepplin July 4, 1980 at the Munich Olympic Stadium. Were you lucky enough to party with the Scorpions back when they were just a house band in the GI Jungle?
Love the Pie! Steve Marriott was the sh1t!
30 Days In the Hole

Revox turntable, Nakamichi cassette, Crown Amps, Bose 901's
Smoked about every hash known to Europe!
My pal used to send me redbud...I was king.
Man what memories...
Saw LedZ there...many many others including Bon Scott, and the very next year, same venue (Manheim) Brian Johnson. Those lads never missed a fucking tick then, or since.
I had to add....
If one ever gets a chance to be up close and personal at an AC/DC show, one gets a true sense of what a rock and roll animal really is. Angus is THE rock and roll animal. No others even come close.

Doesn't get much closer than helping to set up for an AC/DC show (Sindelfingen, 1980.) Pretty cool with all the engineers (making really big bucks) telling you where you can string the cables to enable them to fly out over the crowd. Made some decent cash that day, but really had a blast just being apart of it all and seeing just what goes in to putting together such a show.
The Nakamichi 550 Portable <snerk> was a favorite for recording boot-leg tapes at concerts. It was an incredible piece of technology though the term 'portable' is an interesting description. Portable if you're a weight-lifter but not so much if you're 120 lbs. dripping wet.
The Nakamichi line of tape recorders rivaled the reel-to-reel technology at the time. It's demise in the late 1990's was a sad deal, IMHO
