Peter Frampton Editorial Review

In Short
Fluke superstardom can be a blessing and a curse, and few artists have learned this to such an extent as Peter Frampton. The British-born singer-guitarist recorded one of the first true blockbuster albums, A&M's 1976's concert set "Frampton Comes Alive!" But his career since then has largely been a matter of trying to achieve a reasonable fraction of that record's multimillion-selling success. His most recent album, "Now" (Framptone/33rd Street), was released in 2003.

PETER FRAMPTON IS A MUST SEE!!!

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I saw Peter Frampton last night and it was amazing. If you get the chance you must see him he is as talented as ever and his band was insanely talented! I was talking to some of the guys before the show and they said he doesn't even do a sound check or warm up because he's such a pro! Here's the band....they are all just magical!! bassist John Regan guitarist Audley Freed keyboardist/guitarist Rob Arthur drummer Shawn Fichter As for the event at Verizon Wireless (I hear they are about to change the sponsor and name of that venue), I appreciate that Peter 'feeds' off the crowds enthusiasm but I was surprised that when people started talking to him the 'roadies' didn't kind of shoo them away...I also think the holding up of the cell phones is stupid. And people were actually trying to answer their phones during the concert...a little respect would have been nice, plus I don' t know how they could hear anyway. What else? Oh I had seat 104 B 1 and it was great, off to the side but with a clear shot of Peter and when people in front of me stood up I could still see him!!! Plus I could sit up on the guard rail. After reading the above review I'm even more happy with my seat!!!!

  • Pros: The man is a guitar genius
  • Cons: Don't sit up front because people will get in front of you...
