Frampton Comes Alive II just came out on DVD. I had the cd since the 1995 release, but this is a treat. Recorded 20 years after the Frampton Comes Alive record set the world afire with Frampton Fever. It is not monumental like the first one in that it didn't change the way the industry looked at live records, but it is just as good of a performance. Recorded at the Filmore West in San Francisco ( same venue as # 1 ) if anything it finds Frampton and the band playing even better. Maybe too tight, but it is good.

I have the Live at Detroit DVD also. I think I may actually like the slightly more laid-back style on it but it is hard to say. They are both great. Now if they can just find and remaster a video of Comes Alive ( # 1) .
