Peter Frampton/WA,USA 1976

Peter Frampton in 1976 had risen to the darling of the era with the big break of “FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE!”. A leaked soundboard album from a person involved in that time is now available. This work is engraved with the “Seattle performance on April 30, 1976”. It is a superb soundboard recording. 1976 was the year of the big hit “COMES ALIVE!”, and in terms of studio works, it was the “FRAMPTON” era. And recently, Mike Millard’s newly excavated “L.A. FORUM 1976” is also fresh in my memory. In order to organize such a situation, let’s first look back at the schedule at that time and check the position of the show. 1975 February 10th – March 1st: North America #1a (6 shows) {FRAMPTON released March 3rd} March 14th – 24th: North America #1b (7 shows) May 5th – September 7th: North America #2 (40 shows) *Official COMES ALIVE! October 11th – December 17th: North America #3 (18 shows) *Official COMES ALIVE! 1976 {FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! released January 6th} January 23rd – May 2nd: North America #4 (38 shows) *Here* June 12th – September 5th: North America #5 (22 shows) October 8th – 10th: North America #6 (3 shows) October 22nd – November 8th: Europe (9 shows) {November “I’M IN “YOU” production begins》・December 2-14: North America #7 (3 performances) ←※ L.A. FORUM 1976 This is Peter Frampton in 1975/1976. “COMES ALIVE!” was produced from the US tour in the latter half of 1975, but the Seattle performance of this work is the beginning of 1976, which can be said to be a sequel. It was the 36th concert of “North America #4”. This show is also known as an audience recording excavated by the prestigious “JEMS”, but this work is completely different. It is a soundboard recording of the master involved brought from a unique route. In fact, the sound of this work is superb. Because of the lack of stereo feeling, I hesitate to advertise “Beyond COMES ALIVE!”, but I’m not losing. The details are not known, but it is probably a direct connection to the mix table. The cheers at the height of popularity are also recorded, but they are sounding far beyond the close-up performance and vocals. The image is that “the cheers were so huge that they got into the performance microphone.” The performance itself has a breath and a private feeling that makes it seem like a small rehearsal room, but the heat and openness of the performance are arena-class. You can fully enjoy the other-dimensional feeling that comes from a direct-connected sound board. Such a direct sound depicts a full show that you might want to call “COMES ALIVE!” The traditional official masterpiece is an edited work produced from multiple performances, and the song order based on the analog four-sided was different from the actual stage. In contrast, this work is a consistent recording without processing, even though it is a sound board. You can enjoy a more natural full show. Let’s check out the similar but different song selections here. Frampton (4 songs) Penny for Your Thoughts / Baby, I Love Your Way / Show Me The Way / (I’ll Give You) Money Others (13 songs) Rock On: Shine On Wind of Change: All I Want to Be Be (Is by Your Side) / It’s A Plain Shame / Jumpin’ Jack Flash Frampton’s Camel: Lines On My Face / Do You Feel Like We Do / White Sugar (★) Somethin’s Happening: Baby (Somethin’s Happening) / Doobie Wah / I Wanna Go To The Sun *Note: The ★ mark indicates a song that cannot be heard on “FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! (original version)”. …And so on. The set starts with “All I Want to Be Be (Is by Your Side)” and “Penny for Your Thoughts”, which were not heard in Millard’s masterpiece “L.A. FORUM 1976”, but “Wind of Change” which was in “COMES ALIVE!” is not heard, but “White Sugar” is set instead. It is an equal balance from “WIND OF CHANGE”, “FRAMPTON’S CAMEL”, and “SOMETHIN’S HAPPENING”. In any case, you can enjoy the full show of Frampton in his prime with a direct-connected sound board with a lot of close contact. This is all there is to it. It is a passionate performance comparable to “FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE!”, but the pleasure of a more natural and vivid live performance being poured directly into your brain. A new excavation worthy of being called a cultural heritage. A superb sound board recording of the “Seattle performance on April 30, 1976”. The sound is superb, with a master of related parties brought from a unique route. The performance itself is directly connected to the mix desk, giving it a breath and a sense of privacy that makes you think it’s a small rehearsal room, but the heat and openness of the performance are arena-class. “White Sugar,” which could not be heard on “COMES ALIVE!”, is a new masterpiece that pours the delicious full show of the heyday directly into your brain.
