Their new single, "We're is getting heavy airplay in drummer Jerry Shirley's home base of Cleveland, Ohio. Shirley hopes this will lead to a new recording contract for the band. Humble Pie has its roots in the early 1970s.

It was formed and fronted by Steve Marriott, who left Small Faces in 1968. Guitarist Peter Frampton, bass player Greg Ridley of Spooky Tooth and Shirley were the other members. The band suffered when Frampton went solo, and it broke up in 1975. The band re-formed in 1979, then broke up in 1981. "Basically, we broke up because all our equipment got stolen in New York City, Shirley remembers.

"We said, 'Enough is enough, everyone go home to mother for a and everyone went their own separate way." Shirley picked rock veterans for the band's latest assault at the charts. "I had to replace the people who are no longer with us with equally strong people," Shirley says. He picked former Babys guitarist Wally Stocker and former Ted Nugent vocalist Charlie Huhn and called bassist Anthony Jones. Jones was with Shirley during the band's 1979-1981 period. Shirley, the last original Humble Pie member, remains at the drum set.

Humble Pie has taken to the road, playing small clubs and open-air arenas. Shirley likes open air "Drums always sound good in open air" but small clubs have their merits, too. "You get a chance to get closer to people. They're right there in your hand," he said. Reaction to the renewed Humble Pie has been good, he says.

They do play the old favorites, like "I Don't Need No Doctor" and "Thirty Days in a Hole." And they add more obscure songs which didn't get much radio play. So far, they're playing just the one new song. "We'd like to do more new stuff, but we can't do a whole lot until we get a new album. Then, we'll do lots of new stuff," Shirley says. He's hoping the airplay "We're Rockin' is receiving in Cleveland will spread and attract the attention of record company executives.

It's difficult starting over. "It is discouraging sometimes, but one keeps bashing away because it's a great band. It's not like we're a bunch of old hacks whacking away for the bell of it," he says. 3RD VERSE: The latest Humble Pie, from left.

EARLY with his legendary version of "The Star-Spangled Banner," and the always-hip Dick is asking how come he played it in such an "unorthodox" way.

"I didn't think it was unorthodox," Jimi replies. "I thought it was beautiful." The Hendrix footage is nice and so is his music, though many other clips (Crosby, Stills and Nash, Jefferson Airplane, Blood Sweat and Tears), remind us why Woodstock deserves its shoddy musical reputation. When the Grateful Dead singing "Mama Tried" is a musical and then mostly because Merle Haggard wrote such a great song, this clearly wasn't one of rock 'n' roll's peak moments. The voiceovers are sometimes cliched (Hendrix: "His music lives to this once in a while, over the edge and love really did but on the whole they're restrained and frequently even objective. Taken collectively, the "Woodstock Minutes" seem aimed at an audience that finds the Woodstock myth interesting enough for a periodic shot of flashy visuals.

It's hard to argue that it was too much more. minutes apiece and are narrated by Kurt Loder and Dennis Elsas. One is that the festival's musical reputation rests on the fact it was sustained over 2 days, whereas the pets of music here almost never last longer than 15 seconds. But then, the only real danger in Woodstock nostalgia is the same danger that lurks behind the festival itself: taking it too seriously. So the best approach to the "Woodstock Minutes" is to acknowledge they're going to be superficial, then think, "So what? So was the whole festival." With that in mind, it's easy to enjoy numerous nuggets of entertainment Musically, the best among several chunks of "previously unreleased footage" is Cree-dence Clearwater Revival doing "Bad Moon Rising." At 15 or 20 seconds in length, it's also the only one that makes you howl for more, though several other good tunes are also shown for the first time here, including The Band's "The Weight" and some Janis Joplin.

Several performers talk about Woodstock Stephen Stills, of all people, is particularly funny but oddly, one of the best clips doesn't even come from the festival. It's a shot of Jimi Hendrix on the Dick Cav-ett show, after Jimi had closed Woodstock By DAVID HINCKLEY Knlght-Ridder News Service One of the saving graces in the relentless barrage of articles and programs on this summer's 20th anniversary of Woodstock is that almost anything that probes this rather trans-. parent Subject long enough will find something you either hadn't heard before or didn't remember. That's certainly the case with "Woodstock Minutes," the series of 50 vignettes that cable's MTV and VH-1 are showing all summer (at various times) on the performers, the food, the traffic, the drugs, the cleanup, at the Aquarian Exposition of Aug. 15-17, 1969.

The segment on Woodstock food, for instance, shows Wavy-Gravy, whose Hog Farm collective helped feed the half million attendees, explaining that Woodstock was the place where many people first ate granola. How about that, boys and girls? "You'd give it to 'em and they'd say, "What's because it looked like a plate of gravel," recalls Wavy Gravy. "And you'd tell 'em, 'Eat it, it's And they did."
