Post Description

Peter Frampton begon als lid van The Herd en werd een tieneridool in Groot-Brittannië. Vervolgens werkte hij samen met Steve Marriott (van the Small Faces) in de groep Humble Pie, en verder op albums van Harry Nilsson, Jerry Lee Lewis, en George Harrison. Hij ging solo in 1972 met het album Wind of Change.

Peter Frampton is bekend wegens het gebruik van de zogenaamde jappiotube in het 14 minuten durende "Do You Feel Like We Do", en het kortere "Show Me The Way". Dit waren allebei nummers op het album Frampton Comes Alive! (1976), waarvan hij 6 miljoen exemplaren verkocht en waarmee hij definitief doorbrak. De opvolger I'm in You verkocht nog 1 miljoen exemplaren. Daarna was Frampton betrokken bij een ernstig auto-ongeval op de Bahama's. Na zijn herstel speelde hij in de film Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Hij bleef opnemen in de jaren '80, maar kwam niet meer bovenaan in de hitlijsten.

Hij maakte in 1987 als gitarist/zanger deel uit van David Bowies begeleidingsband tijdens diens Glass Spider Tour. Bowie en Frampton zijn al bevriend sinds de jaren '60, voordat één van beiden echt beroemd was.  

This is a pretty good concert. You wouldn't expect Frampton to do any repeats of songs he did on the classic Frampton Comes Alive. Why should he??? He has nothing to prove. That album still holds the record as being the largest selling live album in history, how can you improve on a flawless performance that has been remastered to HDCD standards? But then, why would you??

Frampton himself always expressed that he lived for the stage and the rush of the live performace, he never felt the recording studio did his music justice as it lacked the audience vibe.

I have been a consistent fan since his early days with Humble Pie and altho I was never really impressed with his post 1976 albums I feel this live set features his later material in their most beneficial and natural setting, the live concert.
Try and forget the studio versions of these songs and give them a fresh listen. If you liked Peter Frampton back when he rode the wave of fame in the mid 70's you wont be disappointed. He pulls out the talk box and uses it sparingly just to treat you to a bit of nostalgia so you can say.....WOW...it really is him. He might not have the long curly locks anymore but he still knows how to wield a mean guitar. Whether it's his famed black beauty or any from his sizeable arsenal there's no mistaking mister Framptons dynamically powerful playing. Bob Mayo is as supportive as ever, John Regan on bass and JR Robinson on drums are a very tight and solid rythym section.The chops are as strong as anything from 1976's classic.
