Cool rock n roll photos

I saw Peter Frampton at the Capitol Centre (Largo Maryland) in '77 (my first concert) and I have told the story to my kids, who are big Star Wars fans, of him inviting a "guest" on stage, and it was R2D2, and the crowd going nuts. To date I had found no evidence on the internet that it actually happened, and I was beginning to doubt my memory (I was 12 at the time). Thanks to a Facebook page about The Bayou (a legendary club in DC), and a post about the man who owned the lighting rig there in the 70s, I now have proof. I don't know the full story, but it seems he knew the Frampton crew, and was also a bit of a character, building robots and such. Best I can tell he built his own R2D2, and he and the Frampton crew played a prank on Peter at Madison Square Garden, where R2D2 brought out a guitar for Peter. Frampton enjoyed the gag so much, "R2" came on the road with him until a cease and desist order from Lucasfilm was received in the mail.

This pic is from MSG, 1977.

...a beautiful Spring day on our way to take the Viking Cruise (AARRRRRGG!!!), on the streets of Dublin.

(...ranks as (IMHO) one of the 3 or 4 best shots I’ve taken in my life...’course, I might be a li’l partisan...)[/QUOTE]

That’s a lovely moment of your daughter with the busker. Golly day!

Nope. Didn’t help. I thought maybe I’m too old, but she’s only a year younger than me.

I first heard of her from her back up vocals in the Peter Gabriel song Don’t Give Up. Her original hit was a quirky song called Wuthering Heights.

Here’s a BBC documentary on her.
