So I caught their Chicago show last night. It was awesome.
Frampton started right on time at 7:30. He played a pretty long set for an "opener" if you want to call him that. About an hour and twenty. Played all the hits of course as well as a couple of nuggets. A nice tribute to a song I guess he had preformed with Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and a Humble Pie song.
Very engaging guy. Told a few stories, including finding the lost guitar from the Frampton Comes Alive album. Interesting story I didn't know about.
He really rocked. It was very loud. I told my wife Steve Miller might be a step down in intensity after what we just heard.
I was wrong. Steve Miller was just as good as he's always been. I knew every song he did, all the hits, which is great if you only see him once in a while.
After three songs Peter Frampton joined him. They talked about having done a blues thing recently in New York I think and since it was Chicago, they said they were going to do a little blues thing. They did a Freddie King song and then an Elmore James tune. It went on for almost a half hour and the two of them went toe to toe wailing away on their guitars. Highlight of the night.
So I highly recommend seeing them if you get the opportunity. Might have been the best thirty bucks I ever spent.

That could easily be the review to the show I caught last year.
Very good pairing and Frampton is awesome.
Here's something I shot in August of last year, Miller and Frampton doing an Otis Rush tune.
The Cornell tune was probably Black Hole Sun, it was on an instrumental album Frampton put out a number of years ago. I think that that release won him a grammy.

You are correct, and here is a version I shot last year at Frampton's set before Steve Miller. The name of the Frampton record he did it on is "Fingerprints" and yes it won a Grammy for Best Pop Instrumental Album. Great record I highly recommend it.

Yep, that's it guys. The Chicago version was better. But I don't recall him doing that distortion thing. Did have Cornell's face on the backdrop on one side kind of like this one.
