Summary: clean...
Review: This is a very good concert - indeed. It had been sometime since we heard from Peter Frampton. Tight band - Peter plays incredibly well for someone who has been "out of the loop" for so long. The widescreen video is excellent - viewed through component video inputs on an Hitachi HDTV and the afore mentioned excellent audio track in the DTS format. A must have for any Frampton fan........

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: This is the best music DVD I own. The music quality is excellent. The camera work is excellent. Peter was more than excellent. I had forgotten what a gifted guitarist he is. What a great show! Wish I could have been in the audiance for real!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: musical genius
Review: this is without a doubt, one of the best live concerts i have ever experienced. the production is outstanding. the video and sound are flawless. now, about the musicians. what can i say. if you followed peter frampton you know he is a musical genius and this dvd proves that. if you never saw peter frampton before, this concert will make anybody that knows something about music a fan. john regan is the bass guitarist and has played with a hole slew of bands including one of my all time favorite artist, ACE FREHLEY. the concert opens with a great version of something's happening and just continues with one great song after another. and yes as you probably guessed peter does an awesome job with the voice box on do ya feel. my personal favorite is lines on my face. peter interacts great with the fans and definately gives them their money's worth. the show takes place in what looks to be an indoor\outdoor venue. if you have ever been to the PNC BANK CENTER [formerly called the garden state arts center]in new jersey, it looks to be a similar arena. bottom line is you can't go wrong spending money on one of the most gifted musicians that ever lived!!!

Summary: Strictly for Fans
Review: Unless you're a rabid fan of Frampton it's kinda sad seeing him up there with this lacklustre band churning out those classics from Frampton Comes Alive - sure, his voice is totally intact, his guitar playing is all there and he looks healthy enough (although it's pretty hard reconciling this trim, greying and bespectacled mid-lifer with the image of that 70's rock star with the Roger Daltery-esque curls.) But it's a pretty shlocky concert and it just lack all the elements that defined him as a terrifically talented and cool star in the 70's.

The sound quality (on DTS) is fine so I give this one two stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is why God invented DTS!
Review: Well, maybe someone else actually invented it, but Frampton certainly makes the best use of this format on this marvelous DVD. For those contemplating whether spending the extra money for a receiver capable of decoding the DTS format, bring this DVD to your local audio/video store and tell them to show you the difference. These songs really come alive.

I spoke with drummer Chad Cromwell at one of their recent concerts, and he suggests watching it on a high definition TV as well. Either way, you will find the music incredible on this fabulous DVD. You can tell that after twenty five years, they not only still enjoy playing these songs but they have perfected them.

While the Eagles DVD led the way and Steely Dan has followed suit, the production of this DVD is the KING of the live concert DTS DVD. Buy it and enjoy!

Summary: Peter and Bob, still kicking it after all these years
Review: When I bought this DVD, I had just set up my Sony 5.1 DTS system. I had no idea I would be transported back to 1976...the only noticeable difference is that Peter Frampton plays and sings better than ever. Bob Mayo is simply astounding on keys, guitar and vocals. There is a seamless comradery between these guys that is a pure delight to watch, not to mention that they are without a doubt the tightest, most polished sounding foursome out there today. The sound quality of this DVD is better than any other Concert DVD I own, James Taylor Live at the Beacon, a close second. One of Peter's many strengths has always been drawing a crowd into an experience and making them feel a part of his world. Forget the hair, he looks better than ever (laid-back and on fire all at the same time) and he's proven to this viewer/listener that he's never been more alive than he is today! A must-have for any guitar lover (worth buying a DVD player to see). My personal faves: "Lines on My Face," "Can't Take That Away," Don't Need No Doctor," and "Money."

Summary: clean...
Review: Wow! Wasn't really expecting too much from this. Reality always seems to disappoint when one's memories have had too long to crystalize. This was certainly the exception to the rule. Frampton has lost none of his talent and his voice is as crisp as ever. His guitar playing only seems to have improved. It just goes to show that a great talent (like a good wine) only gets better w/ age. This is almost never the case w/ one-hit wonders. I'll buy a ticket the next time he plays live in my area.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Who is that old guy playing Frampton's stuff?
Review: You forget how old we have become..Frampton is STILL unbelieveable. Great to hear him again. Makes you think back to a great time and not so much responsibility. A must for all us 70's folks.
