Peter Frampton gave an electric performance with Keith Urban at Cleveland’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland on Saturday as the guitar god was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Frampton — who was introduced by the Who’s Roger Daltrey — started alone, singing “Baby (Somethin’s Happenin)” and delivering a whaling guitar solo as he sat in an office chair. Urban came out with Frampton next, delivering backing vocals while the two played dueling solos for “Do You Feel Like We Do.” Frampton, meanwhile, showed off his signature talk box sound.
“It’s always been driven by my passion for guitar playing,” Frampton said of his career in his speech after the performance, also calling for his former band Humble Pie to get nominated for the Rock Hall.
Frampton was stunned to learn he finally entered the Hall of Fame earlier this year. “It’s something I never expected,” he told Rolling Stone in April. “Because I was eligible so long ago, I kind of put it into the back of my mind…It’s because I keep working. I’ve never given up. I’ve kept coming back and doing more stuff, and I’ve kept touring. I’ve re-built a following that is now enormous.”
He feels a pivotal moment came last year when Sheryl Crow invited him to perform at her induction ceremony. “Sheryl was the first person I called when I found out,” he said. “I thanked her. I think most people in the public assumed I was in. I was her first concert, so I’m told, when she was 13. For her to invite me when she got in, that put me in front of a lot of people. She said, ‘Look, this guy isn’t in yet.’ She helped me immensely.”
Five years ago, Frampton thought his touring days were winding down because he was diagnosed with the degenerative muscle disease Inclusion-Body Myositis. But he’s still able to play guitar and sing, even though he now needs to sit down onstage. “I think the crowds are so behind me since I don’t want to give up,” he told Rolling Stone. “I am a fighter. I’m going to be playing until that time comes when I can’t.”
