Product Description
From Amazon.com
Look before you snicker. The prospect of a cutting-edge concert DVD from a '70s rocker who's mostly been MIA during the intervening decades might seem baffling to all but his staunchest fans. But Peter Frampton's particular 15 minutes of fame were rooted in his sturdy prowess as a live player, and that crowd-pleasing instinct kicks into gear quickly on Live in Detroit. The expatriate British guitarist, singer, and songwriter cheerfully admits that this well-shot, crisply recorded concert from Pine Knob amphitheater is banking on the lack of any video companion to his epochal live double album, Frampton Comes Alive, which broke sales records following its 1976 release. Accordingly, Detroit serves up a set list featuring the earlier set's high points and preserving the front man's affable, enthusiastic rapport.
Those virtues won't entirely neutralize the initial shock of seeing the former rock heartthrob as he crowds 50. The shoulder-length locks that made him a poster boy (and supplied a then-chic androgyny) are gone, his hair now close- cropped and white, and he wears small wire-rim glasses that reinforce a comparatively clerical look, even in dark jeans and T-shirt. But when Frampton and his current quartet launch into old arena workhorses like "Baby (Something's Happening)," or signature hits like "Show Me the Way" and "Baby I Love Your Way," he shows his singing and lead guitar playing are both unchanged.
In short, meat-and-potatoes musicianship, an eager-to-please affection for his audience, and that archetypal song book of '70s radio favorites all play to Frampton's strengths and to his audience's expectations, right up to those talkbox effects that sounded anachronistic until Cher dusted them off for her Europop-inflected comeback. For DVD music fans of a certain age, that translates to a canny mix of nostalgia and show-biz professionalism. --Sam Sutherland

This review is from: Peter Frampton - Live In Detroit 1999 (DVD)
Phenomenal quality; uninterrupted concert; Frampton and Mayo rock. Great energy. Solid from beginning to end. What rock and roll DVDs should be like. No gimmicks. Beautifully produced. I also enjoyed Peter's interview for the DVD. Very informative and entertaining. Peter's guitar work absolutely smokes!

This review is from: Peter Frampton - Live In Detroit 1999 (DVD)
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........
