Experience music history in the making with authentic, original newspaper advertisements capturing the opening-night premieres of legendary live concert performances, sourced straight from the entertainment capital of the world.

Background: Peter Frampton’s August 23, 1979 performance at the Forum in Inglewood—often mistakenly dated to August 24, when the tour had already shifted to Omaha—stands out as a notably rare snapshot of the artist navigating a critical transitional era. Fresh off his recovery from a near-fatal June 1978 car crash in the Bahamas and the commercial disappointment of the Sgt. Pepper's film, Frampton was touring in support of his gold-selling comeback effort Where I Should Be. What makes this arena stop exceptionally rare is that it catches Frampton scaling back from the massive stadium sellouts of his mid-1970s peak to more intimate, classic arena settings while actively shifting his sonic direction. The evening's setlist featured rare live arrangements of new studio material like "I Can't Stand It No More" and "Got My Feet Back On the Ground" blended alongside his signature talk-box classics ("Show Me the Way," "Do You Feel Like We Do") and high-energy covers such as Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" and The Rolling Stones' "Jumpin' Jack Flash". Unlike his iconic, heavily documented 1975–1977 Forum runs that birthed material for Frampton Comes Alive!, official audio or video recordings from this specific 1979 Forum date were never commercially released, making setting details and audio surviving from this late-70s tour stop a prized, elusive collectible among diehard fans.
