Description
The highly anticipated Port Chester soundboard discovery series now includes a Peter Frampton edition! A superb, fully official-quality release is set to be released!! This release captures the “Port Chester performance on June 1, 2016.” This is the first-ever soundboard recording of that performance (it’s circulating online as 2012, but the correct date is 2016). Currently, unreleased soundboard recordings from the legendary Capitol Theatre in the 2010s are being unearthed one after another. While the artists’ genres vary, the direct sound, often directly connected to the mixing console, is always shocking, thrilling collectors worldwide every week. We’ve introduced new masterpieces from various bands and artists so far, and this is the Peter Frampton edition of this noteworthy series. When it comes to Frampton in 2016, many may remember it as the year of the release of ‘ACOUSTIC CLASSICS.’ However, what flows from this release is not an acoustic performance, but an electric rock show with a full band. It’s packed with high-energy live performances, similar to the official 2012 live album “FCA!35 TOUR: AN EVENING WITH PETER FRAMPTON”. First, let’s take a look at his activities at the time and confirm the position of this work. ・January 22nd-24th: Rock Legends Cruise (3 shows) [February 26th: “ACOUSTIC CLASSICS” released] ・February 29th-March 27th: North America #1 (15 shows) ・April 27th-June 18th: North America #2 (22 shows) ←★HERE★ ・July 9th-August 26th: North America #3 (22 shows) ・September 30th-October 22nd: North America #4 (9 shows) Despite being directly connected to the mixing board, the sound is so vivid it’s like a completely official release. This is Peter Frampton in 2016. He was very active in live performances throughout the 2010s, performing about 70 concerts. The Port Chester performance featured in this release was the 10th show of “North America #2,” approximately four months after the release of “ACOUSTIC CLASSICS.” The sound of this release, which conveys that show, is the same direct-to-mix-board style as the series, but this time it has reached another level. The separation is intensely vivid, and the contours of each instrument stand out clearly. Every single flowing phrase drawn by Frampton’s guitar, the overlapping of the side guitar and keyboard woven by Adam Lester and Rob Arthur, the distinct groove of Stanley Sheldon’s bassline, the sharp spatial feel created by Dan Wojczewski’s drums—all reach the ear without blending together, each asserting its place. Just like the recently highly acclaimed DURAN DURAN edition, this is a finish that should be called “fully official quality,” surpassing “unearthed official quality.” In fact, if you play this alongside the 2012 official live album “FCA!35 TOUR: AN EVENING WITH PETER FRAMPTON” on shuffle, you’ll get confused about which is which. This full electric show, featuring rare cover songs, is a selection of great songs spanning 2 hours and 34 minutes, all delivered with a sound quality that’s on par with official releases. The setlist is a condensed version of his glorious career, centered around the hit songs from his 70s solo career. As mentioned earlier, the official release “FCA!35 TOUR” is famous when it comes to Frampton in the 2010s, so let’s organize the setlist while comparing them. 70s Solo (12 songs) – Wind of Change: It’s A Plain Shame / All I Want To Be Be (Is By Your Side) / Wind Of Change – Frampton’s Camel: Lines On My Face / Do You Feel Like We Do – Something’s Happening: Baby (Somethin’s Happening) / Doobie Wah / I Wanna Go To The Sun – Frampton: Show Me The Way / Penny For Your Thoughts / (I’ll Give You) Money / Baby, I Love Your Way – Others (10 songs) – Fingerprints: Boot It Up / Double Nickels / Float / Black Hole Sun – Others: Rebel Rebel (★) / Peggy Sue (★) / Hummingbird In A Box (★) / Off The Hook / Four Day Creep / While My Guitar Gently Weeps *Note: “★” indicates an official release, ‘FCA!35 TOUR: AN EVENING WITH This album includes songs that weren’t on ‘PETER FRAMPTON’. …and so on. The selection of songs is carefully curated, featuring not only the three major classics “Show Me The Way,” “Baby, I Love Your Way,” and “Do You Feel Like We Do,” but also tracks from early 70s albums like ‘WIND OF CHANGE’ and ‘FRAMPTON’S CAMEL’, which are sure to touch your heartstrings. There’s the deep lyricism of “Lines On My Face,” the light groove of “Doobie Wah,” and the beautiful flow from “Penny For Your Thoughts” to “I Wanna Go To The Sun.” And there are also songs that weren’t on ‘FCA!35 TOUR’, which is a real treat. “Hummingbird In A Box” from his 2014 album is a nice addition, but even better are the covers, with David Bowie’s “Rebel Rebel,” Buddy Holly’s “Peggy Sue,” and Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” and The Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” solidifying the key tracks. This approximately 154-minute performance condenses the depth of his long career into a single, captivating show. This is the Peter Frampton edition of the Port Chester soundboard discovery series. With sound quality so perfect it could easily be mistaken for an official live release, this 154-minute full live album covers everything from classic 70s hits to ambitious covers. A must-have for any collection, this is the first-ever soundboard recording of the June 1, 2016 Port Chester performance. Part of the Port Chester soundboard discovery series, the sound quality is so perfect it could be played alongside the official ‘FCA! 35 TOUR’ without any issues. This approximately 154-minute full live album of electric guitar music covers everything from classic 70s hits to covers.
