Last night I revisited my past, attending Peter Frampton’s sublime Never Say Never tour’s Boston performance. Frampton at Anaheim stadium, July 6, 1977, was my first concert. I was 13, a huge fan already, and allowed to attend only because my older cousin and his friends who through mad, coordinated dailing won like 9 tickets from radio station KLOS, would be looking out for me. The only thing he looked out for were the bikini clad girls with my binoculars. Thus began my lifelong fandom. I’ve lost count of the number of Frampton concerts I’ve gone to, though admittedly it’s nowhere near the “103”! (yikes) figure one of last night’s concert attendees copped to. Rest assured, Frampton, all your teenybopper fans are now women and men of a certain age - life worn, and perhaps more cultured and worldly - who are still coming to hear you play for no other reason than you are a world class guitarist and seasoned performer. This fan doesn’t get out much anymore because like you I suffer from an autoimmune condition that has destroyed the life I once took for granted. But I couldn’t miss this possibly (hopefully not) last opportunity to hear you play live, so I let my daughter who also attended dress me in a ridiculously short mini dress and short, black booties. It was fun and well worth the physical effort, as you’re not one to disappoint. No matter if you’re sitting down now, I still close my eyes and get chills hearing the distinctive, melodic riffs that I’d recognize anywhere, often emanating from the storied Phenix no less. And like all greats you pay tribute to those that came before. Closing my eyes once reminded me of a time I heard B.B. King’s Lucille crying out the Blues. There were some Segovia-esque riffs that transported me to Spain, and what?!…Tequila? Haha. You mentioned that your mother loved Hoagy Carmichael’s music, then teased that we weren’t familiar with his music. As I mouthed “Stardust”, you followed with a hauntingly beautiful rendition of Georgia on My Mind. That alone was worth the price of admission. If I never see you again live, “…now my consolation is in the stardust of…{your} song.”

Wow!! My husband and I were blown away!! Great show. Niagara Falls Apr 9/25. Magnificent!!! Thank you Peter Frampton for the greatest night ever!

What a great show! He and the band were in top form. Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, a must see show.

To this totally heartwarming, magnificent show. Peter Frampton is so sweet & sincere.. I loved the photos and images he shared on stage. The music is timeless & makes the heart soar.. up to the clouds. Not sure if I'll be able to get back to Earth! We love you Peter Frampton!

Wow. What a great show! It was hard for me to keep it together..I really hope he keeps touring...Shine on

Saw Peter at The Mission Ballroom in Denver last night. Sounds as good as ever and plays that guitar like it’s a part of him! Seems so genuine and loves what he does. Get him into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame now!!
