See Frampton!

If you get the chance, catch Peter Frampton on his Frampton Comes Alive 35 anniversary tour. Great show, great band, great guitar tones and PF has not lost a single step. He is in great voice and his playing is better than ever. He played FCA - the entire album as the first set - over 2 hours. He took a quick break and came back out and played another 75 minutes or so.

The show was a bargain and nostalgia be damned, great music lasts forever. In this day and age of auto-tuned, homogenized, cut and paste music, it is great to hear live music that is truly live. See him if he comes your way.

Saw a thread on another forum with a bunch of posts from different concertgoers who mentioned it was nothing short of brilliant.

If he were to come to Toronto, I'd go.

Very cool. Caught him on some show or another doing a full set - outstanding stuff. Still great.

That's Adam Lester from Nashville.



I saw Peter Frampton a couple weeks ago at Pier Six. Great Show this year. He's even got the Shat doing pee jokes for him.

He's also a guitar mentor to somebody where my wife works. I haven't figured out who yet.

Man, the bassist sure is the weak link in that band. He's not playing the proper bassline which is stalling the song!

Can't believe they let him play this crap.

The year after my graduation.
Just had to send the video to my Ex. I knew she'd like it too much to miss it.

Yes indeed, he was a huge part in FCA and as I understand close to Peter.

He must have already played the east coast. Damn. He's in the west now and doing a long tour.
Maybe I could truck over to Salina, Kansas? Once had a car breakdown there. I remember Salina.

Frampton tour schedule

And now he's the soundtrack for your senior moments in your senior village.

I'm just busting balls. Frampton Comes Alive on my school bus' 8-track was one of the things that hooked me on rock for life, and when I saw him play live a Pine Knob a few years ago the concert totally ruled.
