A to Z Challenge - 2020 - Frampton

"F" is for Frampton.  We've seen him twice at the Mountain Winery.  The first time was in 2010.  I scrapbooked these pages a while ago so I don't have the "how I did it" photos. 


The view from the top of the mountain is so pretty, although these photos don't do it justice.


I was lucky enough to get this picture of Peter waving to the crowd.  Almost looks like he is waving to me, no?



The most memorable thing about this show was the woman who was behind us dressed in a butterfly costume.  She went up on the walkway and danced, waving her "wings."



I did use a Lea France template (I think it was the Beach Umbrella) and wrote the set list around it.


Peter Frampton's son was playing with him that night.  



The last time we saw him was in 2016.  For this set I used a paper collection called Rhapsody from Paper Wishes.  



This collection also has some die cuts and tags that coordinate with it. 




I used a corner punch that looks like a flower for some of the pictures.


There was a notice at the entrance that said that Peter and the band requested limiting picture taking to the first three songs.  It was the first time we had seen something like that.  We had really good seats though!


I wanted to convey my dilemma so I used this stencil to make a double pointed arrow.  





Another Lea France stencil here, Rose Window.  


I love the way this one turned out with the paper design framing it.  I just added a few sparkle gems to the center of the flowers.  The guitar in the middle is from the drums.


I used one of the embellishments on this page.  It looks like an old cassette.  


The musical notes are Dazzles stickers. 


He had a pretty full set list.  


I used another stencil on this one.  Since they were limiting the picture taking, I thought this Say Cheese! would be appropriate because it is the shape of a camera. 



I added a "flash" and smile button.  The middle section is supposed to look like a lens shutter.  





Here is the finished set.  






At the time I know I was a bit disappointed with the limiting of the picture taking.  I did break the rules and take some during later songs and their final bow but I figured that the show was over so they wouldn't mind.  Given that we have been prohibited from taking them at all a couple of times, I'd rather have them limit it to a few songs than say no pictures period.  After all, the reason I take them is to be able to scrapbook the experience and I think this documents it pretty well, don't you? 

I believe Peter Frampton is one of the artists who have said they will not be touring anymore but given the state of affairs at the moment, maybe all those groups who said they were not going out on the road will be so bored having been in isolation that they'll change their minds!  We'll see. 

Okay, that's it for "F."  Tomorrow's "G" is going to be just a bit different.  Come see!

December Reflections - 2016

December 13 -- Soundtrack of 2016

Anybody who knows us, knows that we are concert crazy.  Here are the bands/singers that made up our soundtrack for this year:


May 19 - The Who

We had never seen them before so it was a good way to start off the concert season.  Our anniversary was the next day so this was our present to ourselves, as if we needed an excuse!



Behind blue eyes



July 3 - Foreigner



This was our first concert at the Mountain Winery this season.  My biggest highlight was when Kelly Hansen came and stood next to me and then when he climbed over the seats as he usually does during the show because he climbed right next to me so I was able to help hold him steady as he climbed back to the stage.  Star struck!


July 9 - Boston     Another new band for us.  They sing the song "Amanda" which is our daughter's name. 








July 14 - Sting and Peter Gabriel  



This was an interesting concert as they sang each other's songs and were both on stage the whole time.  

August 2 -- Adele

I was afraid that we were not going to be able to see her as the tickets were so hard to get and sold out within minutes.  I got lucky and got a text message from Ticketmaster that seats had become available so I grabbed them.  They, of course, were not our usual up close and personal seats but just being there and hearing her sing was such a great experience.







August 24 -- Pat Benatar and Melissa Etheridge

 We have seen Pat Benatar many times but never Melissa Etheridge and were quite surprised that we enjoyed her so much.








They really have a chemistry together that is fun to watch.

August 26 -- Peter Frampton

There was a sign up right by the stage saying that pictures would only be allowed during the first three songs so that everyone could "enjoy the show."  I've never been good about following directions when it comes to taking pictures at concerts.  I am respectful about not using the flash but when I'm paying $150+ for a seat, I'm gonna take what pictures I can.




September 4 -- San Francisco Fest -- Tower of Power, Doobie Brothers,  Steve Miller, Santana, Journey

What a day this was!  Santana and Steve Miller were the highlights as far as we were concerned.  
























September 25  -- Tesla, REO Speedwagon, Def Leppard








Tesla and REO were great but the sound on Def Leppard was so bad that we left early.  We had really good seats too so that was disappointing.  








December 14 -- Stevie Nicks

Ms. Stevie is tomorrow night.  I'm charging my cameras and getting ready.  She is my idol.



I do have some videos that I took at most of the concerts but it would take too long to load them up on YouTube to get them ready for posting here now.  Another time for sure.

How about you?  What does your playlist for the year sound like?
