The three-hour show features a complete performance of Frampton Comes Alive! that the Montreal Gazette describes as "a highly-spirited and expertly-played recreation of the live album."
Frampton also performs other highlights from his catalog, including his Grammy® Award-winning instrumental album, 2006's Fingerprints.
