Ft. Myers Concert Recap

Well...of course, my efforts to get backstage were thwarted (and I even carried my original "Frampton Comes Alive" cover all over the Mann Center - to no avail) but, Peter put on a phenominal show. Maybe it was because he had the previous night off, thanks to Florida's cranky climate (when are city leaders around here going to learn that hurricane season isn't a real good time for outdoor events?) or maybe it was because he's just brilliant, it was the best of the 7 gigs I've seen (and I'll add "so far" here.) The band was tight (a lot of new faces, including a drummer from Ft. Myers) and the sound was great. Peter sang some old favorites I hadn't heard live in a while (like "I Wanna Go to the Sun") and featured more from "Fingerprints" than the last time I saw him. (I was expecting the same set list as the last time I saw him on this tour - in Orlando - so I was more than pleasantly surprised.) My only criticism was that we couldn't get up and dance in the aisles. Pretty subdued crowd (especially the couple next to me - who must have been recently embalmed or something.) I have a few (bad) pictures, which I'll post later. I woke up the next morning - without a wine glass - with a sore throat and a warm and fuzzy feeling. Can't wait for gig number 8!

The Return of your Friday Frampton

ONE MORE DAY! My 7th Frampton gig (and certainly not my last...) I am squirming in my seat in my cubicle just thinking about it. So, to all of you in Ft. Myers fortunate enough to have tickets for tomorrow's show, and for those who don't - here's a little "Lying" from the superb "Live in Detroit" DVD...

Is it Saturday yet?
