Peter Frampton/Tokyo,Japan 1978

From the long-awaited first performance in Japan by Peter Frampton, known as “The Prince of Rock Guitars”, in 1978, the live performance on October 25th, the first day of 3 days at Tokyo’s Nippon Budokan, will be recorded with ultra-high sound quality by Miracle Man. It will be released as a 2-CD set that uses the audience master directly! An enthusiastic live performance that brought the atmosphere and worldview of “FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE!”, which ushered in the “big sales era” of music albums in America, to Budokan. This work is a textbook book that all Western music rock fans should experience! Peter was extremely popular with both men and women at the time due to his handsome looks, wild guitar playing, and sweet vocals. After leaving HUMBLE PIE, he began his solo career in 1972, producing hit songs such as “Show Me The Way,” “Baby, I Love Your Way,” and “Do You Feel Like We Do.” In his early twenties, he rose to become an idol-like figure in the rock scene (but he couldn’t stand being treated like an idol, so he formed HUMBLE PIE, so it’s not ironic. there is). Among them, 1976’s “FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE!” was a huge hit that needs no introduction. From this work, which topped the US Billboard and sold 10 million copies worldwide, it can be said that “live albums” in rock became popular in the truest sense. It was in 1978 that Peter made his first visit to Japan, which was long awaited by Japanese music fans (given Peter’s popularity in the United States, one could even say that his first visit to Japan came late). Among them, the three-day consecutive performance at Nippon Budokan is still talked about by fans to this day. In this work, the live performance on October 25th, the first day of 3 Days, which can be declared to be special in the history of Japanese Western music rock concerts, is recorded from the original master! From “Arena G row, number 61”, you can relive the live performance with the audience sound that can be said to be the best even at the same time! When Peter’s name was called in the opening announcement, the female fans erupted in cheers from all over the venue, giving a good idea of ​​Peter’s idol-like popularity at the time. The performance started with “All I Want To Be (Is By Your Side)”, “Penny For Your Thoughts”, and “Baby I Love Your Way”. These acoustic sounds soothe fans who tend to lean forward and allow them to listen carefully to the performance. What makes the performance more enjoyable is the excellent sound of this recording. The sound image has excellent visibility and a certain direct feel, and it firmly reproduces Peter’s expressive play, including the detailed play of the acoustic guitar, the warm tone, and the relaxed vocals. After “Baby (Something’s Happening),” in which Peter switches to an electric guitar and features a band performance, “Doobie Wah” and “I Wanna Go To The Sun” have a laid-back brightness and groove. It makes playing fun. “Lines On My Face”, which has a moist emotion, and “Show Me The Way”, which has an impressive play that effectively uses a talking modulator, are sure to be great listening spots. Also, all the numbers from the new work “I’M IN YOU” at that time are great takes. In addition to “Tired To Love” at the beginning of Disc 2, the title song “I’m In You” which is featured in the encore (the cheers at the intro are amazing!), and Junior Walker’s “(I’m A) Road Runner”, In addition, Stevie Wonder’s cover song “Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours” is also played well. The passionate performance of “Do You Feel Like We Do”, which lasts for almost 15 minutes, and “Jumping Jack Flash”, which also lasts for more than 10 minutes, demonstrate the fact that Peter is not just an idol-like player, but a top-notch artist who is both young and talented. I’m sure the fans at the venue understood this correctly. Retaining the world view of the worldwide explosive hit “FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE!”, 87 minutes of great excitement are revived with the rich sense of presence and superlative listening response that can only be achieved with the finest audience source! We hope you will enjoy this historic live performance from exactly 35 years ago. If you are a fan of Western music rock, this is the definitive release that all fans must listen to!
