Frampton Comes Alive 35

Awesome DVD, people. Awesome. I still miss "Bob Mayo on the keyboards. Bob Mayo." But Rob Arthur is great in this band.

Shocking lack of respect for Frampton in this forum. :?

I saw him open for Journey in 2001, if memory serves. He was this happy little English man on stage playing his heart out, cracking jokes. He had a perpetual smile for his short set. I also saw him in 1999 at the show that yielded the "Live In Detroit" album.
Oww. My aching tentacles.

Wait. What? :)

I didn't see anyone one bagging on the man.
I, for one, am a big fan of his guitar work, if
not necessarily his pop hits.

I'd love to be able to see him live, but I have
to accept that's a geographic longshot.
Definitely off it now...

I've seen him live twice, once opening for Journey and the other time with Styx & REO Speedwagon. Not a big fan of some of his tunes but he is a great guitarist.

Saw him live in the 70's, he inspired me to learn how to play guitar...

Bought and wore out Frampton Comes Alive, have the remastered versions (awesome)

I have the blu ray and it's incredible to say the least. I REALLY wish he would have left his son out of "Dont need no doctor" tune, but otherwise this is a fantastic show. Original FCA bassist Stanley Sheldon is on board and really authenticates the performance. http://www.stanleysheldon.com/peterframptonpag.html

This is one performer who has stood the test of time better than...really...when you think about it...anyone. ;)

Ok I'm relieved. My original post was up for days before anyone chimed in. Glad he has some fans here. The man is a virtuoso guitarist.

I love Frampton! Just saw him as a special music guest on the Voice a few nights ago. He still looks and sounds great.
