Peter Frampton Forgets the Words pt 2

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.

AC/DC- Jailbreak- Dallas 10-85

When AC/DC played Dallas in October 1985, the band “threw the dog a bone” by performing “Jailbreak” for their earliest American fans who were in San Antonio and Dallas/ Ft. Worth ten years earlier when the Aussie’s were just struggling to get known by playing Texas clubs.

Rolling Stones- Brown Sugar- Los Angeles 2015

Back in 2015 when the Rolling Stones were playing tight and right,  presciently Mick Jagger knew that they had better do something special for the Rolling Stones’ fiftieth anniversary of the landmark album “Sticky Fingers”, albeit six years early. The Stones played every song from it at the LA Fonda Theater, including this spirited version of “Brown Sugar”.

Rolling Stones- Honky Tonk Women- London 3-14-71

Eras in music no more follow the calendar than Mother Nature does. Thus fifty years ago in mid-March 1971 the last live performance of the Sixties in effect may actually gone down when the Rolling Stones ended their brief Scottish/ English tour at London’s Roundhouse with this final performance of “Honky Tonk Women”.

Cheap Trick- Essential- Rick Nielsen, Robin Zander

On a maximum scale of five stars, the 1977 debut by Cheap Trick  receives AllMusic.com’s highest rating. And the even more melodic, better sounding  sophomore effort “In Color” in the same year earns 4 1/2 stars. Then Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, Robin Zander, Tom Petersson, and Bun E. Carlos wrote and recorded the  masterpiece “Heaven Tonight” in May 1978, yet again scoring a critics’ perfect five star rating. So in hindsight it would appear that recording the Rockford IL quartet’s set while performing the strongest material from these three killer studio albums, in front of an adoring audience in one of the world’s premiere venues, would be as obvious as a sumo wrestler in your shower stall.

Three Dog Night- Naturally- Danny Hutton, the late Cory Wells

Between their 1968 debut album and the mid-Seventies, it was virtually impossible to turn on an American radio without hearing Los Angeles-based legendary hitmakers Three Dog Night and one of their twenty-one hit singles…Here is my April 2005 interview with dearly departed Cory Wells and Danny Hutton “In the Studio”.

Billy Joe Shaver- Georgia on a Fast Train/ Live Forever- Dallas 4-07

The time back in Spring 2007 when noted Texas songwriter Billy Joe Shaver sang “Georgia on a Fast Train” and “Live Forever” and told me stories on my afternoon Dallas/ Ft.Worth radio show, it wasn’t so much an interview as a case of squatter’s rights,  as it turns out much like the way in which he introduced himself to the late great Waylon Jennings, who would cover many of Billy Joe’s songs while defining the sound of Outlaw Country on such seminal albums as Honky Tonk Heroes  and This Time  in 1973.
