Frampton Comes Alive Again!

PETER FRAMPTON: Time to Come Alive Again

Peter Frampton starts the 2012 leg of his 35th anniversary Frampton Comes Alive tour tonight in York, Pennsylvania.

Looking back on that 1976 album, he tells us it was a blessing and a curse. A blessing for all the success it brought him, but a curse for it "created opportunities and things that I really shouldn't have done." Among them was his role in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the movie based on The Beatles' 1967 album, which was a box-office bomb.

While Frampton was recently reunited with the black Gibson Les Paul he played on Frampton Comes Alive, he won't be playing it tonight as it is still being refurbished by Gibson. The 1954 guitar was found last year on the Caribbean island of Curacao after being believed to have been lost forever following a 1980 cargo plane crash while flying his equipment to a show in Panama. He hopes to have the guitar back in time for his New York City show on February 18th, which is being filmed.
