A Part Worth Playing

Live broadcasts from 1979 and 1972. When Peter Frampton finally made his breakthrough as a solo act, it was with a live album. While his earlier records had been well-regarded critically, the praise had failed to translate to record sales, but the release of Frampton Comes Alive! in 1976 finally changed all that. A new studio album, I m In You, the following year consolidated the success, rising to number 2 on the US billboard chart and featuring a constellation of the biggest stars in rock Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger, Stevie Wonder and Richie Hayward all of whom had lined up to be a part of the project. In 1978, however, the wheels came off literally.

Shenandoah (Steffen) works his way into a band of highwaymen led by Rojo (Armando Calvo). His initiation consists of hunting down and killing a member of the gang who has 12 bullets while he is only given 2 bullets. When the bandits attempt to rob a wealthy rancher, whom Shenandoah knows, he warns him. The outlaws begin to suspect they were betrayed and commence to rough Shenandoah up. Shenandoah then reveals his true reason for joining the gang; one of them killed his wife and he is there for retribution.

The musicians paying tribute are at the same time stating the case for renewal and creativity, which is as it should be.
