Sunshine Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Frontier Town to Walkerton - allow 45mins to an hour (closer to 40 - 45). The way you drive Dr. Hux - I'd say 30 mins! Ha Ha! Last year - they overcrowded on the Sunday, people were very upset, demanded money back....... 3 hour waits for a beer - two hour waits for the washroom! Consider who else is playing before paying $96 dollars!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hey, ever notice you never see Peter Frampton and Uncle Seth's drummer Mark Kitchen in the same room together: Coincidence? I think not! Peace, Mr. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 That would be cool if we could somehow coax some of these artists (ZZ Top, Frampton or Merle Haggard) into swinging by Frontier Town while they're in the neighbourhood! The first step is to somehow get the artists informed on what's happening down the road. I'm sure they're all on tight schedules, but maybe if they heard about CTMF and liked what they heard, they'd squeeze it in there.....? Just a thought.

Mr. Musicface Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 DUDE! That'd be a riot - I can just picture a big-ass Saloon jam with Billy Gibbons' on "Jesus Just Left Chicago" for like an hour-and-a-half! - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Gruvsten Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 quote:Originally posted by jon: hey ...i'm usually a look on the bright side kind of guy...but that lineup SUCKS....waste of $100......is that harsh? or just true?Well, it is a benefit of sorts for the town, and it is Walkerton, which makes Durham look like Toronto in comparison... Also, big name acts don't go round those parts too much(for good reason) but mullets, IROC's, cowboy boots and tight jeans on men do.... Anyone from Grey/Bruce county will know what i'm talking about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted April 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 ....I'll try to get Frampton back to CTMF for a "Baby I Love Your Way" with Blue Grassy High... Toronto is like the 80's....but in Ottawa it's like the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Hey, cut the guy a break, he was nearly killed in a car crash. Dr. Hux, you want to check a cool arrangement/performance of "Baby, I Love Your Way", see Lisa Bonet's performance in Hi Fidelity (starring John Cusak as me ... again). It is steamy. Thing is, I can't think of Frampton without thinking of Zappa's intro to "I Have Been In You" ... "Is that guy kidding or what?"

hamilton Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 I have actually seen Peter Frampton live in concert. I'm not sure if that's something I should be proud of or not. I can't remember the exact year, but I'm guessing it was about 1992. Back in the pre-Molson Amphitheatre days, when everyone used to play at Wonderland's Kingswood Amphitheatre, I used to get a season's pass every year - you could go to Wonderland as often as you wanted for about $60. Once you were in the park, you could get into Kingswood for about $10 (well, it started out as $6, then $8, then it was $10, the next year, $12... I think it ended up being about $20 before everything moved to Molson). I was in high school, and I was lovin' it - all of my favourite '70s acts were there! You could go on rides all day, and then see a cheap concert. I saw many great shows - Santana (2 or 3x), Allman Brothers Band (3x), Little Feat, George Thorogood, Barenaked Ladies, Traffic, CSN, Steve Miller Band, Ramones, Jethro Tull - I would go see almost anyone who had a song or two that I liked. I even saw ELP I also saw Peter Frampton. We bought our tickets 15 minutes before the show started, and ended up with 8th row centre stage. In the entire amphitheater, there must have been fewer than 200 people. Essentially, he played "Frampton Comes Alive" and a few new songs. About 30 people cheered like maniacs... the rest seemed rather underwhelmed. I'd never felt embarassed for a performer before that point... Brian. (PS - even worse was the opening band, called The Storm. Comprised of former Journey members, they proceeded to bore the pants off of everyone present. Well, actually, not their pants - that might have livened things up a bit. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Well, this recent email I got from a friend, whose name I forget right now, sent the following. Enjoy: Dr. William McKeen, chair of the University of Florida department of journalism and professor of a class called "The History of Rock 'n' Roll," says Ratdog's strength is melding different styles and genres into a unique sound. "They're like a Dave Matthews band that is interesting," he says. "Of all the rock stars -- the Beatles, the Stones and all that -- I always thought the one I really wanted to be was Bob Weir. He really looked like he was having a good time because he had the greatest job: He didn't have to lead [the Grateful Dead]. He could focus on his role in the band. But, actually, he was a much better singer than Jerry Garcia. He is a great charismatic presence." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 I wonder how much it'd cost to get Frampton to do a (probably have to be stealth) Dekcuf show... Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 quote: Originally posted by Sunshine: Consider who else is playing before paying $96 dollars!!! FYI, here's the line-up for Sunday from http://www.watershedfestival.com/ Bryan Adams Emerson Drive Peter Frampton Martina McBride Chantal Kreviazuk Aaron Lines LeAnn Rimes Not much there I'd spend 100 bucks on... Saturday's a bit better overall IMHO: Terri Clark Merle Haggard Travis Tritt Our Lady Peace ZZ Top Melissa Etheridge but I'm gonna bet if you really wanted to catch Frampton, he'd be playing elsewhere in Ontario for less. - M.

Mr. Musicface Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Did somebody say "a free pound of wings and 8.50$ pitchers"?!? But I think Frampton would fit in better in Ottawa anyway... it's still the 70s there isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
