For Van Halen ” For Unlawful Carnal  Knowledge” , we present an ultra-rare “fly on the wall” listen to the biggest hard rock band in America in 1991.

But the members of U2 did not stay away long. Turn up this blazing performance of “Vertigo” by U2 at the make-up Paris concert barely three weeks after the carnage.

In the conclusion to my all-new interview focusing on his brilliant all-instrumental album “Frampton Forgets the Words”,  delightful conversationalist Peter Frampton picks one of my favorite Stevie Wonder chestnuts to interpret, “I Don’t Know Why”, and explains to us how Motown, “The Sound of Young America”, was in fact even bigger in his home country the UK than here; rocks out with his band on Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go My Way”; reveals his lifelong brotherly love for David Bowie; and much more in this part two.

But as you will hear in this new interview about Peter Frampton’s new album, “Frampton Forgets the Words” , he has miraculously found inspiration in making every day be as meaningful, productive, and rewarding as possible.
