slotperfect 7 #1 August 2, 2007 My son Logan has never been to a concert. I have been promising him, but there has been a lame selection this year. I just had a trip cancel, which makes me available to go see Peter Frampton. My son asked to hear some, so I put on "Do You Feel Like We Do?" He had a smile on his face and was tapping his feet. I will get us some tickets. Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marcandalysse 0 #7 August 7, 2007 Quote I still have the album me too, but its been over 20 years since I had a 'record player' or a 'turntable' (as we called the listening apparatus for vinyl records in the old days).... I guess I am saving my records for the cover ART. Plus there are a few that never came out on CD.... It was more fun to open those double albums and look at the art (I remember the Santana and YES albums were particularly cool)...and easier to read the words to the songs!!!mp "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #8 August 7, 2007 I was looking through skymall the other day on a flight... one of the vendors had a record player that had a usb out so you could make mp3's out of our old vinyls."The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #9 August 25, 2007 It was a great show . . . a small venue, a great mix of music, and a lot of old bald fat people holding up lighters. There were two local musicians (Raleigh) in the band, one of which was a guitarist that was allowed a few solos - very cool. After the second tune ("Signed, Sealed, Delivered . . .") Peter asked security to stop keeping people from approaching the stage to take pictures - even cooler. Most appropriate for the Raleigh show: a woman hollered something at him from the crowd and he said "I thought I told you to wait in the truck!" Logan loved his rendition of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun." "All I Want to Be Is By Your Side" was my fave. I was texting my pal and fellow audiophile during the show . . . he's going to see the same show tomorrow night in South Carolina.

slotperfect 7 #11 August 25, 2007 Outstanding. Just like most of us, his voice has dropped a little over the years, so he didn't go WAY up like he did on his landmark live album in 1976. Otherwise he was right on the money. The first note of my fave ("All I Want To Be Is By Your Side") is in the upper third of his range ("Do what you do . . ."), and he nailed it. His guitar skills have gotten better, I think. The other guitarist, from Raleigh as I mentioned earlier, was about 6'6" tall and thin, with a Jeff Lynde curly head of hair. He was very good.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #17 August 25, 2007 And perpetuating the amazing retro movement, there was a kid there who couldn't have been more than 14 . . . long stringy blonde hair and a black Johnny Cash "At Folsom Prison" t-shirt. Peter Frampton's quote about the phenomenon: "All of a sudden, there were three generations of families at the show, and it blew my mind.

slotperfect 7 #18 August 25, 2007 Bill Wyman, no longer touring with the Stones (mostly because he hates to fly) has a very good blues band that tours in UK. I hear them on XM Radio all the time.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dzdiva 7 #19 August 25, 2007 Why yes...yes it is! 2 years ago I got to see Peter Frampton, Journey and John Waite in concert. What an awesome show! Frampton can still rock my world and is still as sexy as ever! (Even without all the hair!) Also saw Bad Company and Foreigner that year. Ahhh....the good ol' days of rock!

slotperfect 7 #20 August 25, 2007 It's funny . . . Jumper03 asked me last week if I was still doing the Retro thing. I told him it has never been Retro for me . . . I grew up with it. It's Retro for Logan and his generation, who have discovered music from 35 years ago on their own and embraced it. That is extremely cool to me. John Waite re-recorded "Missing You" with Alison Krauss, which I have seen in a video on CMT. The one mega-event that I am sorry I missed was Eric Clapton's Crossroads Blues Festival in Antigua a few years ago. I have it on DVD . . . that would have been a great event to attend.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dzdiva 7 #21 August 25, 2007 It's cool when my son, 19, discovers the music that I grew up with. What's funny is when he hears a song that he likes and says you gotta listen to this. Turns out it's a remake of something I grew up with, then I get him to listen to the original. Funny when I see a CD from that group in his collection.

slotperfect 7 #22 August 25, 2007 I'll come home from work and he will be listening to my music downstairs - trying it out on his own. Or I'll be playing a CD in my car and - quite suprisingly - he will change the song to a particular one saying "I like this one."Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
