Formed in January 1969, Humble Pie soon became one of the best-loved, hardest-rocking live acts of the 1970s.

Atomic Rooster emerged out of the dissolution of the first Crazy World of Arthur Brown, with Vince Crane (Hammond Organ) and pre-ELP Carl Palmer (drums) joining with Nick Graham to form a new band.
