From Where I Should Be (1979). Where I Should Be is the sixth studio album by English musician and songwriter Peter Frampton, released on 30 May 1979 by A&M Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Custom through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Peter Frampton's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
