Peter Frampton - The Best of FCA! 35 (2012)

It’s easy and natural to confuse this 3-disc audio package with the similarly titled DVD/Blu-Ray that was released simultaneously with the same cover art, especially since the song selection is nearly identical. But the CD set is a slightly different animal since it grabs what Peter Frampton thinks are the best performances of the material played from various gigs on his year-long tour from 2011 -2012. In comparison, the video is two complete shows from a few cities. The musical differences are subtle, yet there is a case to be made that the audio is a better document of this material and that hardcore fans may indeed want to spring for both.
