Frampton came from Humble Pie. Check out 30 days in the hole or Hot and Nasty. Great band with great vocalist... Steve Marriott.

Andy - Neil Young will rattle your cage like Bob Dylan did. A long guitar jam like Cowgirl in the Sand or Down by the River!

Hey guys! He could make his guitar talk

Ok ...you boys picked out a rocker ....a little talk box action 🤘

This album was like the Thriller album of 1976! Hugely popular and they used to play this live 13 min version on the radio all the time.

Now THAT'S funny

Exactly....so when these reaction people(many of them) no diss, are trying to analyze these works strictly from an instrumental breakdown and creation only from a studio creation mentality.....Sigh. They miss the whole inexplicable creative genius of many of the bands of that era putting out music that was meant to be lengthy, head trippy and not depending on a format or predictable. YOU HAD TO BE THERE...

I'm that generation

The best music I've ever heard was introduced to me by my father. He's always been a bad ass.

I went to see Frampton a couple of years ago, 2018. The crowd was either filming with their phone or talking to each other the whole time. It was like Frampton was just the background music. It was ridiculous. I miss the days when people came to watch and listen to the music

I so agree!

King Crimson ejects people for any phones or video devices. There are always a few when I see them that get booted. Makes for a better show. Our David Gilmour concert in 2015 was ruined by iPads being held up and waved around.

Unfortunately those days are gone forever. The "feel" is gone, by the way of electronic gadgetry. That's progress ?

Brady Hogan that’s probably why Tool does it too.

That's true because record companies did not like to put out live albums because usually, they just didn't sell well. This one was an exception, 10 million upon release.

I remember when this album was _everywhere._ The posters all over the place, I remember those.

Most of the albums sold, including the one I purchased at the time, was because of the FM airplay this song was getting. The song itself was absolutely huge. And I was a big Humble Pie fan before this.

Every body had this

I had the 8 track version

I'm 68 😁 and yes, EVERYBODY that was born before 1980!💯 Banger!🔥💥❤️✌️

And we also know that they will never ever make music like this again

I'm 63 and I'M WITH YOU!

same here - this music never lets us down!!

Always liked Frampton he rocks. The Oakland concert was amazing. I'm only 59

LOL

😂🤣

Party on!

Friends would get tired of lugging their vinyl albums around so would give them to me--is how I wound up with four copies of this album.

Rick Beato had him as a guest in the studio for one of his videos.

Wish I was born about 1950, so I could've experienced the late 60's, 70's and 80's as an adult. I had to put up with kids my age all crying when Cobain killed himself, cuz they all listened to shit grunge music when we were 16, 17, 18. Meanwhile I started listening to Led Zep, Fleetwood Mac and Deep Purple.

We had the best music in that time.

@@Doodsy1975 They discovered Kurt Cobain had dandruff when they found his head and shoulders in the bathroom.

I was born in 55. Graduated high school in 72, college in 77. Back then it was like every week a new rock masterpiece came out. There’s nothing going on in music today that comes close to what I grew uo enjoying- Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, CSNY, Creedence, Allman Bros, The Who, Three Dog Night, the Guess Who, Beach Boys, Aretha, Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Elvis, Steppenwolf, Chicago, and it just doesn’t end. What is there going on today that will still be amazing 50 years from now?

Absolutely Agree!

Maybe Antarctic.

Sorry. Listening to Black Sabbath, and many others

Dorothy...it always blew my mind that the first time we heard him was from a live album... Don't you get famous first and then drop a live album... where did all these people come from...lol

This is so true. I remember having the solo album "Frampton" that came out the year before this and really loving it. I used to play for people and they had no idea who he was. The typical reaction was "yeah, it's pretty decent but nothing special".

He was actually quite well-known - this "he was a nobody" theme is incorrect ...

He was pretty much unknown to marginally known in the US until this LP.

Yes I played it so much I wore the groves off the album😜

Its not 100% live tho, they added a lot of stuff afterwards

No, THE BEST!!!

I honestly don't remember ever hearing any Frampton played on the radio other than from the live album.

It was best selling live album for many years. First concert I saw in 77 in Birmingham Alabama.

@@craigdoriety9798 I saw him in Jackson Ms.in 77 .I was 16 years old.

Andy says "I'm sure the studio cut is okay...," what studio version?

that's the one thing I miss about the reactions, not seeing the videos with them.

I agree and he still is!

What I love about seeing Peter's shows are the seas of people...who didn't LOVE seeing one of his shows???

Legend has it that Dave Davies, The Kinks' lead guitarist, was the first smiling one, and then there was the smiling guitarist Eddie Van Halen--started by covering Kinks' songs! But we forgot that Peter Frampton was another smiling, beautiful lead guitarist!

I love the fact we can pass it on. ❤

Right? I never felt the need buy it because everyone had a copy

Me and my 2 best friends each bought a copy at the same time!

And you would pull an Album out you wanted to hear and put in the to be played pile. Oh and you had to nominate which side you wanted to listen to. Remember listening to sides of albums.

It came in the mail with the boxes of Tide.

So true! I honestly can't think of another album that _everybody_ I knew had.

Especially the reaction after the voice box part back into the main part. Priceless!

I was thinking the SAME thing about representing the 70s. Duuuuuuude...

Came out in 76. Album was HUGE that summer the year I graduated HS

I agree. You have to have the experiences to fully appreciate songs like this. And, to understand how different it sounded from other songs at the time, especially the talk box part.

This song just tastes, sounds and smells of 70's!

Right next to Foghat live....zep4 and dark side of the moon

This album is still in everyone's collection.

52 and still have it fro m back in the day....great album!!

how in the hell is Frampton not in the HOF. and Eminem is ?

The HOF is a sham anyway. Steve Miller was inducted and they wouldn't issue tickets for his family to attend unless he was willing to pay 20 large per person. After accepting his award, he went backstage to do the press conference. He railed against the HOF for how stupid it was. Administrators shut the whole thing down and escorted him out. Artists after that went backstage to find no press and no explanation as to why.

Moody Blues just got inducted. Might take a while.

Too many good guitarists in the 70's. Got lost in the shuffle- until this album.

Didn't he win best guitarist in '76?

When I finally got my kids to see him 10 years ago my son looks at me eyes wide and says, “he’s GOOD!” Like I didn’t know.

Concerts were awesome in the 70s and 80s...

Oxmustube exactly! I’m 50 and I was rocking to this album when I was 6 thanks to my older sisters..lol.Still sounds as good today as it did back then.

OMG totally. They were. Between maybe gettin a bit high and trippin on the best of music - it was a creative ride.

Amen!!!

It took me til now after listening to this over 30 years to even wonder about a studio version. I looked it up, not even close to live version, live rocks my world.

I was in high school and college during the 70s and I didn't even know there was a studio version made.

Nope...me either

I have never heard the studio versions either! Kind of the same thing on the Cheap Trick live in Budokan album!

Me either.

I played this album so much back in the day it wore the grooves off the record.

True dat! Crack open a Miller High Life and let’s get this party started!!!

I think if you were born at a certain time they issued this album to you

Left It at A graduation party. I was wasted!

The wah-wah is one of the pedals that Jimi Hendrix made famous in the 60s. This is a talk box, a speaker that sends the sound through a small tube and into the player’s mouth where changing the shape of the mouth reshapes the tone. They sound a bit similar, but the wah pedal is simply a glorified tone knob and predates the talk box by about a decade. Frampton made the talk box famous in 77 but it was invented in 1973 and appeared on Joe Walsh’s Rocky Mountain Way the same year.

donna wilburn That’s not odd. My best friend wants Cheap Trick’s “I Want You To Want Me” played at her funeral.

I'm having Jimi Hendrix's Fire played right in front of my cremated ashes.

Family: "What do you want us to play at your funeral?" Me: "All these songs from the 60s 70s and 80s" F: "It's gonna be over 10 hours!" M: . . . "Bring snacks"

What a mind blowing thought! I can see everyone from your closest loved ones to casual friends having some of their sorrow at your passing, taken away and let a smile show on their faces if this started playing at your funeral. I bet one of the first thoughts would be,"She was a cool chick!"

Baby I love your way too. The whole damned album is incredible. No auto tune no nothing just dudes on stage jamming and belting out vocals.

Yes!

@diver69 same here

As great as it is, live at Fillmore East with the Allman Bros. is better still

Exactly. Even though modern day music is convenient there’s nothing like having to wait for the album to be released and getting to the music store in enough time to get the album. That anticipation of new music from your favorite band. Good times my friend, good times

Just about EVERYONE had this album! I still have the double LP from 1976 and will until I die. 🤟🎸

Hearin Frampton s one thing, live is a whole new ball game. We saw him in Shreveport Louisiana when he toured for the Comes Alive album. Great show. Still have his pick, and a never played album of Frampton Comes Alive.

Totally. Frampton blew up on this tour. I knew half the tracks on Comes Alive and I was 9 in ‘76. 😅

Shawn yes! I just responded/ commented this and more, to someone above, before I saw your post- nothing like back in the day.so excited to get your hands on a new drop before it sold out! Made it much more appreciated! ✌️

No, we knew who he was - he had just left Humble Pie and had put out a solo record or two (You have to have been around) ... That said - NOBODY expected what happened to this record ...

@@jiffin1 By nobody, I mean mainstream. Some of us knew, but most didn't, Frampton kind of came out of nowhere for most people.

Not true in the least. He was already somewhat famous from Humble Pie. He already had 4 solo albums out before this. In 1975, the Frampton album went to No. 32 in the US charts. Frampton Comes Alive! had been intended to be a single LP disc, but at the suggestion of A&M Records additional shows were recorded and the album expanded to two LPs for release.

I remember it differently. Frampton had the hit "Show me the Way" in 75 that charted ok. Also Frampton was on "Midnight Special" in 75 that gave him notoriety on the Concert circuit in the Summer of 75 when I saw him at Spartan Stadium. "Frampton Comes Alive" was an anticipated Album so much so that Local Radio station KSJO broadcast the Entire Album the night before it's official release. I know. I recorded that early broadcast, and had the record a day before everyone else. LOL!

Everyone I knew was aware of him before this album. Your local radio stations must have sucked..

I hear you, but I’d be hard pressed to choose between this and the Allman Brothers at Filmore East as the best live recording ever.

Regarding how big this album was, like The Who Live at Leeds, this album was in virtually every stack of records at every friend's house you went to in the 70's. To take this in the direction of live albums, you need to dig into Live at Leeds. Young Man's Blues at ear-bleeding volume levels is an absolute must. Also the live 12-minute version of My Generation is worth listening to. Carry on.

You remember exactly how it went down

Thank you for your comment and knowledge of Frampton. I love these reaction videos cuz they take me back in time. My sister used to blast this on her very cool (Pioneer) stereo system. Remember those huge speakers with the big woofers? Frampton sounded amazing!

WTF ! I had finally forgotten that POS Sgt Pepper's version. Son of a …..lol

Yes just like us he is getting old But we had him for 50 years

And not out of some pre recorded electronic device. Submerged with imagination.

Charles Smith... hey I resemble that remark! :-) ... tried and true boomer here

Charles Smith This is so true. IMHO, although MIDI and DAWs are amazing music creating tools, there is something about human musicians fleshing stuff out in the studio, garage, bedroom, or wherever. Steely Dan was my god up until Gaucho, but I can't listen to their stuff from Two Against Nature (2000) onward, excpet live performances. They sound so sterile, I can just see them dragging or copy-pasting notes to the grid on their computer screen. So sad.

Surprised no one has commented, "Okay, Boomer.", yet. Little shts have no clue, how the world is a million times bigger today, yet, 100 billion times smaller... and less fun.

Great story about a couple of legends!

Don't know if he played the whole Glass Spider Tour, but I was in the concert in Madrid.

@@franciscomoliner1296 Interviews I've seen with Peter indicated that he did, because he said he'd go on another tour, if asked (and play on another album, as he had Never Let Me Down)...because it allowed him to play for a bigger audience. He and Carlos Alomar butted heads a bit though, so don't know how that figured into things. Have you seen the video of David and Peter walking around Madrid looking for a beer? Hilarious, but a bit sad that no one asked Peter for an autograph, only David.

Interesting .

I actually thought that rock in general would continue to get better, sadly I was absolutely wrong.

Yep me too!

5speedMax (Cool name!👍🏻) OK...here it goes... So much ground-harmonically, rhythmically, melodically, sonically-was covered, and discovered, in the 60s, 70s, and even some of the 80s, that it was-and still is-difficult to do something really great-in rock music-without treading on already trodden ground. Many bands-who came after the giants of the 70s-tried really hard to do something different, which they achieved, but, it was at the expense of musical quality. I understand the energy of punk, but more often than not, the quality suffered! Also, musicians got infected with this post-modern/ modern art idea, that your “personal expression” was more important than the quality of said expression. And, it was inspiring to see these punk bands, and think, “I could do that!” Yeah, maybe, but the great artists spend many years on their craft, and I would rather hear something that lifts me up, and blows me away, and makes me think, “How the hell did they do that??”, rather than hear something that takes five minutes to figure out how to do. The goal of creating Beauty, and Elevation, in art, was lost-to a certain extent-and superseded with ‘My Expression’! Or, maybe, it was mostly the fault of the record companies, who saw the massive success of their great artists, got impatient for more, and thought they could just follow the same formula, without realizing that almost all of the greats were unique, and that it took time for people to catch on to what they were about. (If you don’t know the story, The Beatles were basically turned down by every record company, until their producer, George Martin, heard them, and thought they had something. Even, he wasn’t 100% convinced!) There’s only ONE Led Zeppelin, who succeeded right out of the gate! Although, even their groundwork was laid by their progenitor band, The Yardbirds, of which Jimmy Page was the last remaining member. Maybe, when some of the greats reached the pinnacle, it appeared that it could only go down from there! However, I have to hold on to the belief, that the pinnacle is perpetually shrouded in clouds, and can never be reached! (Sorry for the not-so-short essay!). A not-so-small addition: I don’t want to fail to mention a few great bands and artists, who were/are great, and could’ve been successful if given the record company support that their music deserved. Such as: King’s X, Altered State, TNT, Kevin Gilbert, Hughes/Thrall, Black Country Communion, Blue Murder, Bourgeois Tagg, Maxus, Burning Water, Echolyn, Eddie Jobson & Zinc, Gamma, Levitation, Lynch Mob, Stone Fury, World Trade, and Streets.

The crowd is a critical instrument on this record. The producers knew it, too.

Van Halen and Montrose

Exactly! The concerts in the 70s and 80s were so organic- the music, the crowds and their reactions. Listening to these LIVE albums gives me chills...
