Glad to find this tab. Was always my favorite Frampton song. Didn’t know who he was when he opened for Rod Stewart/Faces and Loggins & Messina at Hughes Stadium, Sacramento, 9/7/75. Then a few months later he exploded. Paid $7.50 for the ticket, the equivalent of $42 today. The price of concerts has obviously mushroomed beyond inflation.
