...2 nights ago. Anyone that lived music of the 70's knows this iconic album:
Guys trip. Flew to Salt Lake City to hang w/my best friend (buddy Buck) and see Peter Frampton. Superb show. What a phenomenal guitarist, funny dude and an inspiration on how, even when faced w/a debilitating muscular disease, to live life in spite of his reality....and inevitable conclusion. (https://www.guitarworld.com/news/peter-frampton-farewell-tour-seated)
Did some reading on his life story. Worth, at a minimum, looking over his wiki page...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Frampton
Also, if inclined, cast a vote...he's been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. https://vote.rockhall.com/en
Quick 2 day trip but the icing on the cake was lunch at the Red Iguana before heading to the airport. Killer Mexican food, especially their mole's. https://www.rediguana.com/
So, if you get the opportunity to see him, "Just do it". Other than having to sit while he performs, the man still has mad skills at age 73.

Yeah man. I saw Frampton live in Austin back in 76. It was an outdoor venue.

EXPERIENCE: next to nothing, but I sure enjoy audio and video MY OPINION OF THIS HOBBY: I may not be a smart man, but I know what quicksand is.
When I was young, I was Superman but now that old age has gotten the best of me I'm only Batman -
My brother was at the show in Plattsburg, New York from which a few of the songs for the live album were taken.
Not my best sentence, but I'm keeping it. -

The Frampton SACD's are very nice. They came out with 3 last year for 50th anniversary.
Frampton, Camel and
Winds of change. -
Glad to see he made the class of 2024 R&R Hall of Fame inductees a few days ago. https://variety.com/2024/music/news/rock-roll-hall-of-fame-2024-inductees-1235977662/Yeah man.

That would've been an epic concert!My brother was at the show in Plattsburg, New York from which a few of the songs for the live album were taken.
I've been to 200+ concerts and can't say I've ever made it on a live album (to my knowledge). Frampton would be iconic. Closest I have is a Stones bootleg from their 1982 "Farewell Tour" and I was "on" one track...also, a Motley Crew bootleg when I saw them open for Iron Maiden around 1984. SQ sucks on both!The Frampton SACD's are very nice. They came out with 3 last year for 50th anniversary. Frampton, Camel and Winds of change.
Have all 3 and agree. Surprised they didn't and wish they would release Comes Alive. Edit to add...maybe in 2026?
