A personal message from Peter Frampton:
“I have to thank everyone involved in making it possible to reschedule this show so quickly. It will now be Friday April 14th at 8:00pm at the Virginia Theatre. I couldn’t wait to play the show the first time. But, this time l am coming back to see friends who, with me, experienced a bizarre electronic meltdown! I will never forget your understanding and encouragement that night. Thank you! So, let’s do this again and bring friends. We have a few seats left to fill. Can’t wait. See you very soon.”
