Other Performances
Frampton continues to play this song live to close his concerts, and he played the song in his solo spot while playing with Ringo Starr's All-Star band in 1997 and 1998 with a piano solo of Gary Brooker bass solo of Jack Bruce and the version length was about 19 minutes. The Simpsons episode "Homerpalooza" featured the song with the London Symphony Orchestra supporting Frampton and the Pink Floyd pig which Frampton had picked up from "the Pink Floyd yard sale." However, as often happens when Homer Simpson is involved, things go awry, leading Frampton to say "Homer Simpson wrecks my pig, Cypress Hill steals my orchestra, and Sonic Youth's in my cooler."
Frampton appeared in a 2009 Geico commercial (part of their series coupling an actual Geico customer with a celebrity), playing talk box guitar commentary for a woman explaining her auto accident, and how Geico helped her get a settlement. Frampton closed the commercial with an improv riff from the song.
Frampton plays the opening notes of the song for a 2012 TV commercial for the 2012 Buick Verano.

Famous quotes containing the word performances:
“This play holds the season’s record [for early closing], thus far, with a run of four evening performances and one matinee. By an odd coincidence it ran just five performances too many.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
