Peter Frampton at the Record Plant, March 24, 1975
March 24, 1975 — KSAN Broadcast, Record Plant Sausalito
By Tom Proctor
Peter Frampton came to the Record Plant on March 24, 1975, eighteen months before "Frampton Comes Alive!" would become one of the best-selling live albums in history. He had no band name, no hit record, and a reputation built entirely on touring. KSAN had been playing him. Richard Gossett introduced him that night.
The lineup: Frampton on lead vocals, guitar, and talkbox, Bob Mayo on rhythm guitar and keyboards, Andy Bown on bass and vocals, John Siomos on drums. The set runs eleven tracks: Wind of Change, Baby I Love Your Way, Baby (Something's Happening), Day's Dawning, Lines on My Face, Doobie Wah, It's a Plain Shame, I Wanna Go to the Sun, (I'll Give You) Money, Do You Feel Like We Do.
The broadcast was issued in 2004 as "Live in San Francisco, March 24, 1975" by Hip-O Select and Universal, limited to fifteen thousand copies and later made available on Qobuz in lossless. It has its own Wikipedia article. Rights holder is Universal/Hip-O Select. In the liner notes, Frampton credits KSAN with making San Francisco the city that broke him.
