**** A highly enjoyable tribute to a true legend.

What better way to launch a new Small Faces-related label than the full memorial gig for Steve Marriott? Especially when the stellar line-up includes the likes of Ian McLagan, Humble Pie (with both Peter Frampton and Clem Clempson in the line-up), Kenney Jones (also featured in a 33-minute interview with Wapping Wharf fanzine editor and concert MC John Hellier at the end of disc 3), Rick Wills, Rabbitt Bundrick, Zak Starkey, Paul Weller...and other too numerous to mention. It's a measure of the love and respect Marriott inspired in his contemporaries and fans that this concert not only happened at all, but was obviously such a damn good and successful night. Nobody sounds under-rehearsed, in fact everyone sounds like this was what they did every night!

The songs span the man's career - sure there are some of the obvious choices, but also some of the lesser tracks such as 30 Days in the Hole - which features both Toby and Mollie Marriott, incidentally. And from the first note (17 Black performing Don't Burst My Bubble) to the last (The All-Star band roaring through All or Nothing) it's a blast. They certainly did the ol' tosser proud.
