One of the great live albums of the 1970s – Frampton Comes Alive – was released today in 1976 on A&M. Peter Frampton rarely sounded better than when playing alongside Bob Mayo (1951-2004), Stanley Sheldon & John Siomos (1947-2004).

Born 15 Jan 1941, Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart), musician & singer/songwriter. 'Lick My Decals Off, Baby' was his 4th album & was Van Vliet's favourite. He said that the title was an encouragement to "get rid of the labels" and to evaluate things according to their merits. #CaptainBeefheart
