Favorite moment: Three, 1-Do You Feel, 2-figured out how to move to the very front, 3-last song, White Album's, While My Guitar Gently Weeps @
Setlist: Frampton Comes Alive album, followed by new stuff, original stuff, several instrumentals, finished with George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps. @
Opening act(s): None, so be on time. Starting time on ticket was 7 pm, he was ready to go, and waited for hundreds of late arrivals to take their seats, but by 7:20 was rocking out until about 10:30, no break! @
What a great show. He gave the audience all that we wanted, and then added things that he wanted, that we didn't even realize we wanted until we were in the middle of it. He started out playing the "Frampton Comes Alive" album. He and the band gave it all they had and then some. He finished "Part One" with "Do You Feel." Then, he got into some new music and instrumentals. He played for maybe three hours without a break. He joked how in the past, he and the band had to take breaks so they could go backstage and do drugs, and now they don't need them, so they just keep playing! He came across as so humble. He kept making jokes about usually just playing at weddings these days, asking if we wanted to hear the Chicken Dance, and so on. It's gotta be tough, after the amazing fame he had, with the memory of it all heightened by the drugs done at the time, and then having to have to find a way to go on. So many burn out and falter after a skyrocketing period like his, but he fought his way through it. He definitely has. A consummate musician. I think he played maybe six different guitars. His keyboardist - relatively new - rocks, and I believe he still has the original bass guitarist and drummer, plus a new second lead guitar. All awesome. Straightforward. Simple. Humble. Sincere. Intense. All of us rocked out, sang our hearts out, no voice in the morning, but worth it. He kept going as long as we could. He has found a way to grow up, keep it together, and keep sharing his gift with the world! Well done!
