True, not yet; licensing issues. Not my fault Gomez! Actually, to tell the truth, Frampton is scared shitless of my talent. I helped him when he was a little twerp and showed him most of his licks. He always was a punk though. A real momas boy. He was cool until his live album took off, that's when he should have "goin to the hospital". Listen, I'm leaving on tour early am, got to go. "The Bluesman" (in da house)
and yet: none of these performances have been broadcast on youtube.
Thats nice, would you like a cookie?
Oh Really THAT DOES IT PUNK!
P U B L I C N O T I C E:
I, "The Atlanta Bluesman" and "TB Management LLC" (contendor) hereby challenge Mr Peter Frampton (defendant) to a jam off. "Chicago FJ" rules apply. $10,000 to the winner. Standard 1,4,5 arrangement, coin toss for 1st on, each gets a three verse solo, winner takes all. "Bluesman" is 23 and 0 after 10 years of these and remains to most of the world THE best guitarist on the planet. Bet this bald eagle doesn't fly on this one. He's yellow!
That guitar was an abortion so who cares? It was a fake to start with and now it's a ruined fake. Where I comes from we calls it...Firewood. "Atlanta Bluesman" SHUT UP EVERYONE! DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POST OR "YOURE GOIN TO THE HOSPITAL"
It's really awesome to see a happy ending like this.
Sem palavras... priceless!
thx for the clarification ! what a story ! peace
Well, they are usually found by someone! They just remain on the black market. As in, for obvious reasons, the actual owner is never contacted.
A lot of this is down to the tremendous honesty of the dealer who bought it. He didn't have to return it to Frampton. He could have made considerably more selling it on to a collector
The cargo plain carrying his equipment crashed in South America when he was on tour in the 1970s. The wreckage was looted, and his favourite guitar was stolen - which upset him greatly.
A couple of years ago, a guitar dealer in South America contacted him, claiming he had bought the "lost" guitar on his behalf, and would return it to him.
Which he did. Frampton bought it back off him 37 years after it was lost
I don't know all of it, but right before Frampton was supposed to go on tour, a plane went down with all of his gear and someone found the guitar and kept it ever since. Peter found out and got it back. I think that's the story anyway.
i wonder what was the story of that lost guitar ? how it got lost and whatnot....
Right on Peter...good for you mate
"I don't need no doctor" - Humble Pie (the band Peter was in before he went solo)
Life is stranger than fiction, and a happy ending for Peter.
i'd told my kids about this guitar......and how the majic had seemed had broken ! Now Peter can be inspired as he was though the Golden Years he has more history with that instrument t6han aqnyone else in his life !
HE LOOKS LIKE A KID ON CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!! awesome that he got it back most guitars that are lost or missing or stolen are never recovered it's amazing it survived the plane crash.
Sadly the insurance company that paid off the original claim after the crash has taken ownership of his guitar.This thing is headed to court now.
Notice how he checks to see if the neck is okay first ?
Man, I think this is awesome for you Peter! gotta be one of the best days of your life! Keep on Rockin!
I wonder if Gibson will produce a replica of this guitar in it's present condition.Relics are HUGE in the collector market these days.
It's Humble Pie, covering the Ashford/Simpson/Armsteadsong song "I Don't Need No Doctor," taken from the live double album Performance: Rockin' the Fillmore (1971). Find it here: watch?v=0lxyRjzXvxo (That bit is from the final minute and a half.) Find Ray Charles's earlier version over here: watch?v=c8TJnoa2WTg
I spent hours staring at the live album cover and guitar back when I was sixteen. And hours blasting Rockin' The Fillmore... still do! Cheers to Frampton!
Great video, lovely story. I'm surprised that Peter/Gibson didn't spruce it up just a tad; fix the binding here and there and stuff. No need to have gone crazy, as I say, just a tad of sprucing up would have been nice. Maybe the condition was just as it was when Peter lost it, so I guess I can understand that that's how he wanted it kept. Anyway, great story!
'You can't erase a dream.'
That's an understatement! ;^)
2 people don't feel like I do. pffftttt!!
Search google for the whole story.
The short version: it was on a cargo plane that crashed shortly after takeoff from Venezuela in the mid 70s. Someone found the guitar in the wreckage and sold it in Carucao where it's been for years. The owner decided to get it fixed up a couple of years ago, and a customs agent just happened to recognize it as Frampton's guitar from the cover of Frampton Comes Alive. People got money together, bought it, and returned it to Frampton. Gibson cleaned it up.
Amen to you getting back your baby. The connection is something only a musician feels with his instrument.
Is there another video without so much trendy editing in it..? Would kind of like to see some slower panned before and after shots of the instrument. Love the Brass nut, wonder when that was put on there? Cool that they didn't replace any of the missing headstock inlays. Oh, and loved the Humble Pie Live at the Filmore track, we miss you Steve Marriot.
Uh, woulda been nice to know the story.
extremely glad to see Frampton reunited with that guitar. spent many a night in the 70s listening to THAT guitar with those songs......Frampton is still one of my fave players, and always will be.
An icon back with it's legend.
thats what I'm talkin about
what beautiful sound that instrument echoed... I remember...

What an awesome story. I love learning about legends guitars, like Neil Young's "old black' and Stevie Ray Vaughn's beat up old Strat.
Artists have a bond with the instruments they play. I remember a 1984 yamaha keyboard I played as a teen, no keyboard sounded the same afterwards
I need more back story wtf happened during those 31 years?
