Peter Frampton was one of the biggest arena rock stars of the '70s, making his name largely on the double-LP concert set Frampton Comes Alive! He was one of several '70s rock artists (Kiss, Cheap Trick, etc.) to break through to a wide audience with a live album.

Three tours coming to South Florida have tickets on sale in the next few days: Mindless Self Indulgence, the Deftones and Badfish.
Mindless Self Indulgence: We’d accuse the provocative New York City-spawned quartet of being mere posers if not for the fact that they’ve been doing this pretentious, sexed-up, insane clown posturing for more than a decade. Clearly it is we who do not get the joke. Killer chick rhythm section, though. Tickets for MSI’s April 6 show at Revolution Live go on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the box office (100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale), at LiveNation.com, Ticketmaster outlets and charge-by-phone at 800-745-3000. Tickets are $22.50 advance, $25 at the door. Info: JointheRevolution.net.
The Deftones: Any fear that the brooding California quintet (pictured) would start to soften around the edges after nearly two decades of the thumping ferocity exhibited on their 1995 debut, “Adrenaline,” is easily dismissed on your first listen to “Koi No Yokan.” The album, released last month and just the band’s seventh, is a black-of-night bonfire of brutish percussion, unexpected melodics, glistening, almost delicate guitar and Chino Moreno’s signature vocal shape-shifting. Catch it all live when the Deftones hit the Fillmore Miami Beach on March 19. General-admission tickets are $33 and go on sale 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 21, at LiveNation.com, 800-745-3000 and at the Fillmore box office. Info: FillmoreMB.com.
Badfish: Who would have thought the Sublime tribute act would carry Badfish into a second decade? But the ska-punk band continues to offer its reverential interpretaton of the Sublime live show to the masses who missed out on the original, including the crowd that will gather Feb. 28 at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale. General-admission tickets for the show, including Gainesville’s Less The Jake, go on sale 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 21, at the box office (100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale), at LiveNation.com, Ticketmaster outlets and 800-745-3000. Tickets are $23 advance, $25 at the door.

Ben Crandell: My dad missed the birth of his first son, family legend has it, while transfixed a few blocks up Fifth Avenue by another new creation, Frank Lloyd Wright's audacious Guggenheim and its spherical whirl of Kandinsky, de Kooning and Pollack. I never held it against him.
