Not a bad start to the year for him!

That is cool. The live album was ubiquitous back in the 1970's-he must be chuffed to bits.

That is a great way to start the new year. I was only reading an interview with him a few weeks back (think it was in Guitarist) where he said that he really missed not having that LP any longer!

Would love to hear exactly how it got found, how it was investigated etc.

Excellent!  :D

Peter Frampton was on the cover of the first issue of Guitar Player I bought in 1981, with that very guitar.  Because of that mag, I bought several Humble Pie albums and some of his solo stuff, and I've always liked his playing since then.

I remember him talking about the gear he lost in the plane crash, in that interview.  Wonder what happened to the rest of the stuff on the cargo plane?

Now I have an excuse to post this again!

Cool indeed! He was one of my heroes when I was a kid. I wonder if he has picked up the mouthtube too.

did this guitar actually survive a plane crash?

[Twinfan]

I think so, yep  :)

I guess it would have been flightcased or similar?

He makes the talk box seem effortless!

Lucky man, he lost a load of guitars in the floods last year in the States as well. So this will make up for some of those and some.  :D

That was utterly bizarre.... but genius.  Sort of.
