Those of us who are older, grew up with people like Peter in our lives, though he wasn't aware. Our lives were immeasurably better for it. We can only hope he understands the impact he made and that we appreciate his gift to us.
I was 16 in 1976 and I remember that summer well! Frampton comes alive tracks were playing on almost every radio station, it was a glorious summer. Thanks Peter!
Peter Frampton is not only my favorite musician, he's an incredible human being, full of virtues, he loves animals, he loves his fans, he values them and shares aspects of his life with them, he is very humble, he is a tremendously talented, brilliant man, I feel immensely lucky to belong to a generation that has been privileged with hismusic and presence, thank you, thank you very much for filling our lives with joy with your beautiful music
Summer of '76 in Blackpool. I'm a poor student with no money and a very cheap stereo. I walk past Harry Wiseman's HiFi shop on Dickson Rd and hear live music through the door. I walk in and stand in front of the speakers. My first taste of Frampton Comes Alive. Harry approaches, I fancy the Toshiba cassette deck but can't afford it. 'What can you afford?' He asks. I put a deposit down, pay the rest in installments. I also buy the album and have enjoyed it now for over 40 years. Nice one Peter!
Boston, MA USA same thing. Ran to a record store, bought the live album. Played it until................................. Still have it. Slightly worn, but sounds great..
Dear Peter, my name is Marco Ciargo, I was born in Caracas in 1961 to Italian parents. In my adolescence Frampton Came Alive was quite an experience and being able to go to your concert in Caracas was amazing after having seen you so much in the pictures of the album with your three pickup guitar while I was listening to you with my headphones. In that year I had a band called Resistencia and I was one of the guitarists, we had released our first LP and we had many concerts around the country. One of them was on November 12, 1982 at the baseball stadium "Cesar Nieves" in the town of Catia La Mar, a town very close to the airport where the cargo plane crashed with your team. That day in the afternoon while we were setting up our equipment on the stage where we were going to perform, some fans of the group approached us to meet us who lived in the town of Catia La Mar, while we were sitting talking with them in the stands of the stadium the conversation of the Frampton plane crash and the regrettable loss of all the equipment of the group came up, especially the loss of Peter's Les Paul, when one of the guys told us that a friend of his came to the runway after the accident and recovered the burnt case with Peter's guitar, I imagine that he had not been alone in arriving to the place to take advantage of what to take and that he had sold the guitar to someone who lived in Curacao or that he had taken it. This remained an urban legend that lived in the uncertainty of the facts. I remember that it crossed my mind to go and buy the guitar to give it back to Peter, I was 21 years old at the time and he could have rewarded me with another good guitar, but I never worried about that happening because it would not have been so easy to find it. When I saw for the first time on RUclips the video of Peter's guitar found in Curaçao I said to myself that it was true then, that the guitar was in Curaçao. I was very happy about that reunion because in a very distant way I felt involved in that story that seemed to be more implausible than true.
This has to be one of the best, certainly the most well versed comments, or I should say dissertations, I have ever seen on youtube. This comment should be in the editorial of a newspaper, magazine, or both actually.
I actually played "Comes Alive" the other day. I have the original 76 vinyl and it still sounds awesome to this day, even my neighbors appreciated it, well, they had no choice.
Incredible story. Some of the topics they touch on brings me back to my life experiences with guitars dating back more than 60 years. We didn't know these guitars would end up being worth so much money in the future.
This is one of the best guitar stories ever. To get your best friend back after all those years after thinking it was gone forever. Can tell how happy it makes him talking about it
I was a young woman when Frampton Comes Alive was released (just a bit younger than Peter) and I was so in love with the guy---as millions of other women were. But he is/was so much more than a pretty face. He's a fantastic guitarist and musician and I feel fortunate that I'm part of the generation that so much great music!
Comes Alive has to be my favourite album of all time. The Phenix story being one of the sadest, then happiest stories of all time in popular music. How you felt when you got it back after all those years, we can only imagine. But after Gibson got finished with it I believe it is one of the best, if not THE BEST guitarist/instrument pairings of all time. You are my fave guitarist Peter. Keep safe, best wishes, DaveW 🎸
Peter Frampton …not only one of the great fret masters of our time but , as you can see from this wonderful video , one hell of lovely guy. Been a fan forever Pete…God bless you.
Frampton sure is modest about putting out one of the greatest live albums ever recorded. I listened to Frampton Comes Alive over and over again in the ‘70s like everyone else, and also took my high school sweetie to see him live during that period. I’m glad he got his guitar back.
"Comes Alive" was massive. Everyone had the album and it was played everywhere. That guitar 🎸 is a treasure. An unbelievable story in the halls of music history. 🎶 🤘 ❤ 🙏
His new book is absolutely awesome. I read it then listened to the audio book read by Peter himself. He does a fantastic job and makes the experience even better. What an incredibly kind and honest man he seems to be. And to think of all the people he's played with throughout the years. Mind boggling. I'm super glad he got the Les Paul back.
Fondly remember a state fair performance in rainy Washington state some years ago. It had been pouring down rain and Peter came out on stage and said "Oh, thank god you're here." The band then proceeded to play a ripping set. No place I'd have rather been on that rainy day. Thanks Peter! 👏🙏
This is the best version of the story of The Phenix I've seen up to this point. The way this video is superior (for me) to other tellings of this story is the inclusion of Mark Mariana, the man who gave Peter the guitar, and his perspective. He tells us more details about the guitar, the backstory of how it was acquired, repaired and used for a brief period of time. Finally he explains how and most importantly, why, he gave the guitar to Peter as a gift. For me, this is the missing piece of the puzzle, and brings us full circle.
For those of us who grew up in the 70s, there is only one unmistakable sound of Peter Frampton's guitar. It had its own clearly distinct sound. So cool to learn about the story I never heard, and that he's got his baby back in his arms again. Especially after his sublime guitar solo ending of "Do you feel like We Do?" on Frampton Comes Alive. I finally got to see him in 1995.
I'm glad that the Phoenix has come home. I'm even more happier that you've done the blues cruise and did a jam with Joe Bonamasa. The song "My guitar gently weeps" is such a cool jam. Thanks for staying true to yourself Peter. It's such a hard thing to find these days. I wish you peace and keep jamming my friend. 🎶✌️🎤😎👍🎸
Ah mate ... I knew Phenix's story, but seeing all these details about her resurrection, sure brought a smile to my face... Thanks Pete, for sharing this beautiful story
Myles Goodwyn had a Gibson Melody Maker returned after is was heisted some 30 plus years ago . Brian Setzer has had some of his Gretches just grow legs and walk off . Most of Setzer guitars where located and returned . Tom Petty as well because the guy who stole them ,wasn't smart enough to stash the instruments back , hocked them the day he stole them. He got busted for the theft .People with criminal intent just ain't smart . Now days with social media and camera's everywhere , it's hard not to get popped. Cheers 02/21/2022
I was 15 when Frampton Comes Alive was released, and I was completely in love with you! Your music, your voice, your smile, that hair! We’ve grown older, but when I saw the smile on your face when you saw the Phoenix back, ready to play, it took me back to my youth. Frampton Comes Alive is still an album that makes my heart so happy every time I hear it! Side note: Love your cat. Tabby cats rock!
I was 14 in 1975 when Comes Alive was released. What a great sounding album. I became an instant fan and have remained so over the years. Ive been through a couple copies of the album after wearing them out and just last year found an original pristine vinyl album that takes me back to 1975 again. ✌
Congratulations Mr. Frampton, you deserve all of this : being given the guitar from your friend Marc was a very kind and humble gesture, and after the accident and for so many years getting back the Les Paul is heavens gift. Only good people can have these kind of presents. And for sure you are one of them ! Loved your cats to ! God bless . Cheers from Brazil.
I’m 28. A large part of my generation doesn’t realize how big Frampton was. My mom always told me in 1976 everyone had the comes alive record. For good reason too, it’s iconic.
Even the cat wanted to hear what PF had to say. Saw him at Anaheim Stadium summer of 1976 with my sister, my girlfriend and best friends. I will never forget how his music personified my high school years. San Clemente '77.
Peter Frampton is still my favorite musician ❤️ My first concert to see him was in 1978. Of course a poster of this gorgeous man was on my bedroom wall as I was about 15 😆 🤣 😂 let the good times roll! His music.lives in my heart. So many memories attached to his songs...
Because of the association with Robert Fripp (King Crimson), Jan Akkerman (Focus) and Peter Frampton, the ebony black Les Paul was my favourite guitar. I saw Frampton live in one of his first solo shows at the Top Rank Club in Liverpool in 1972 (opening for Humble Pie, who headlined). He was sensational. Getting his beloved guitar back was just meant to happen!
What a great story! I'll never forget the first time the needle came down on my copy of FCA! I still have it. I definitely count you as one of the artists that inspired me to play. The first time I mashed a wah pedal it made me think of you Peter. Thank you for the wonderful memories. I'm glad you got that treasure back.🎸🎵🎶
Love this story, Peter! 💝 Makes my heart happy you got your guitar back. Was amazing you felt you had to learn to play other guitars all over again when this guitar was lost. The attachment one has for the tools of their trade…well, any such loss is totally huge! Monumental. I see you love your kitties, too! 😊
Peter you are such a huge influence on my playing thanks for all of your great music over the years! I just wanted to say how much I love your kitties looking for attention in this video! Lol
Great story and Peter is such a cool guy. Back in the early ‘90’s I got a chance to talk with him for a few minutes after a set he did at a local street performance in Dothan Al. Just a regular guy like you see in this video with crazy writing, playing, and vocal skills. Thanks for all the great music man! 👍 (I still listen to Lines On My Face at least once a week and so do my co-workers 😉)
That is amazing that it's history was known for 30+ years . The gentleman who knew it needed to be reunited with Peter thank you . What a excellent video . Thank you for this history
Love me some Peter Frampton, my first ever concert back in 1977..... What a night that was!!! My brother took me and my boyfriend to see him, on my 16th birthday!!! WOW!!!!!? 🎸 JAMMING AND PASSING SMOKE....LOL A FIRST FOR EVERYTHING....😁
Man, in HS everybody had either the record or the 8 track, or both. It was everywhere. This guitar definitely is one of the top guitars in rock history, up there with Page's LP and Gilmour's strat. I've seen Frampton a couple of times, he was great both times. Never tire of his music.
I loved the story about the guitar, but most of all I love Peter Frampton. I followed him on TikTok and he was so sweet AND liked our comments. I left tiktok, but thank God I found him here.
Great story, Was lucky enough to see Peter a few times. The last two being on the Finale tour in 2019. Great shows! His band was very tight. Peter is most likely one of the most underrated guitarists ever! Exceptional talent.
This is the greatest Frampton interview i ever seen,.. this should be a TV special on Biography, or History, etc.. an incredibly epic story and life’s journey, featuring Rocks greatest Guitar, Guitarist, Album, Band, etc.. All the stars were aligned for this moment. No other album is as much of an adrenaline rush as Frampton Comes Alive, THIS is, the Pinnacle of Rock & Roll🎸🥁🎹🎤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Peter Frampton, I saw you in Chicago back in the middle to late 70’s. It was an outdoor show. Don’t remember who else was on the bill. Y’all are rock legends! KEEP ON ROCKIN!
I introduced my classic-rock loving 22 year old son to "Comes Alive". His first breathless comment was: " How have I never heard of this before?" Great rock and roll never goes out of style.
I saw Peter frampton sept 24 1979 at Clarkson university in upstate Ny I remember he had no warm up band and Rocked for almost 3 hours. Great show! And I do remember this guitar because it had 3 pickups. It sounded awesome!
Thank you Peter I was 13 years old when I bought Frampton comes alive, I wore that album out ! Still today it’s one of my all time favourite albums ! Love and peace
Saw him in a park in Washington DC. 1976 I couldn't believe my luck as I was working my way across the U.S. from the west. When I heard it was an informal free show I was even happier. He was one of my favorite musicians.
It’s terrible to hear such beautiful instruments ending their life’s in such an horrendous way. However it’s absolutely amazing this guitar survived. And the Gibson technician are totally brilliant. And Peter Frampton I really hope you survive for MANY MANY MANY years to come because you’re the guy, (Master) that makes these instruments sing so beautifully 🙏
Awesome musician! Awesome guitar! Awesome story! I'm so glad it was found and made it's way back home! The Phoenix is one of my favorite guitars of all time! I hope some day I can get one of the signature models!
I got emotional just watching this. I was only 9 years old when 'Frampton Comes Alive' was released but I can still remember how much of an impact it had on musicians across the country and me personally. It's one of my favorite albums of all time and as an "old man" now I realize that Peter Frampton is one of the best guitar players ever. I'm glad I got to see him live in 1996 at the Lakewood Amphitheater just outside of Atlanta. He sounded EXACTLY like he did back in 1976 on his album.
It was 1977, I would lay in my living room floor with headphones plugged into a giant furniture looking cabinet with a middle area with lift up door that had a turntable, I would listen to Frampton Comes Alive for hours every night…great memories!
Saw him in ‘76 when I was 14 - Three Rivers Stadium (Pittsburgh). It was Gary Wright, Frampton, and then The Beach Boys. Gary Wright was great, Frampton absolutely killed it and then... we left completely satisfied. What a show 👏👏👏✊🏼
What a Great Story. Sad that it wasn't played by Peter for 31 years. But amazing that it is back in his hands and being played !!! You can just tell how overwhelmed and happy he is that he has it back in his life. Saw Peter in 1976 in Charleston, WV. Rick Derringer was the opener . My first concert at 16 years old. Thanks for sharing your life and talent with us Mr. Frampton !!!
Peter Frampton was one of the primary musical threads that I grew up with. Pivotal influencing the music that I came to prefer. I have loved the LP style guitar all my life and own one of my own. That is all endearing but the thing I appreciate most is that when he got his baby in hand again, Mr. Frampton just fixed it, (Had it fixed) and then played it, I am so tired of vintage guitars being put behind glass and no longer played. It was, and still is today why the guitar was crafted, assembled and sold to someone. The guitar can share no love unless it is played. Thank you Mr. Peter Frampton not just for the music of my life but also for simply playing your guitar, both then and again now.
This axe was just meant to be in Pete’s Hands.. good man that gave it to a good man. I saw you with Humble Pie as a warm up to Grand Funk in 1970… Cleveland Public Hall .. I was 14.. the whole evening was amazing.. from what I remember..
Please keep going Peter. I am 61 years old and back in 76 that album changed my musical life. I’m not a musician but music hits me in the soul. I only saw you live once here in Syracuse New York in 2019. My buddy and I were blown away. I would love to get another chance. God bless you!
I just found your channel. I can’t begin to tell you how many amazing memories I created with your magical music playing in the background. The only way I can begin to describe your music is magical!! It can never ever be recreated. Once in a lifetime a wizard comes into your life. Thank you wizard Peter!!
Peter, in describing that album to younger people, I've said "you can literally hear him smiling through the music". It wasn't us smiling (though we do), it was YOU.
I'm 67 now and remember buying Comes Alive when I was 19, It was all i listened to for a year. I was lucky to be at the Beacon Theatre in New York in 2013 when he played the entire album for the first time with the ressurected guitar. Just in awe!!
One of my favorite people, thank you. and thanks to mutual friend Bob Heil. Rock On. Congrats on getting your partner back, she sounds great. Thank you for all of the wonderful music. Frampton Comes Alive is on my playlist. One of the best ever Live records
Kudos to Mark for giving the perfect guitar to Peter, and to all the people involved in getting it back to him after it vanished. What a story! Thanks 😎
For those of us who play electric guitar, this was truly epic and for me it was very emotional. I saw him in the early 2000s at my military base. He was still able to bring it. What a fantastic guitar story/history.🤘🤘🤘😲😲👏👏👏👏😍
I saw Peter at Clapton's Crossroad Festival in 2019 here in Dallas. I was 18 in 1975 when "Comes Alive" came out so seeing him in person was like the completion of a circle! But what surprised me most was the energy he put out that night...1975's recording had nothing on the 2019 performance! Peter...thank you for the great memories and keep the stories coming!
In 1975.... Peter Frampton was HUGE!! His songs, his music, his guitar defined Rock n Roll! We went to see him in Hartford Ct...live and outdoors!!! And that guitar is "Unmistakable "... Congratulations Pete..." I Feel Like You Do" 🎵🎶🎵
SO brought tears to my eyes! I know what that connection with a guitar is - and what it means to have it stolen from you! By whatever means! Just devastating! But to have it returned after all these years? Awesome! Got to see Peter in Houston, but had followed him for years! Have always loved him and pray for him all the time since he announced he wasn't touring anymore! Even more now that I ended up completely losing all feeling in 1/2 my fretting hand!
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
I was about 10 when frampton comes alive came out. I was blown away completely. I remember playing air guitar to every song on the album for hours and hours. My dad ended up buying me a guitar and getting me lessons which turned my life around. You were one of my biggest influences and I'm not sure I wouldve picked up guitar without your influence. I am also grateful you have your guitar back, that's just an amazing story of how it all happened. But its home now!!!
I saw Peter at Cobo Hall in Detroit and a show at Eastern Michigan out door concert in the 70s, and he and his guitar sounded great. Great story and I am glad you got it back.

I sat in the audience tonight in Minneapolis April 1, 2024 and listened to that man play this guitar and cried my eyes out. I will never forget ever.
Spent my lifetime seeing shows and in 60 yrs of life have never been affected by a show life April 1.
Those of us who are older, grew up with people like Peter in our lives, though he wasn't aware. Our lives were immeasurably better for it. We can only hope he understands the impact he made and that we appreciate his gift to us.
Well put. I was 13 at the time. Big influence.
We feel like he does.
AMEN 🙏🏻
Saw him in Framptons Camel many moons ago. Awesome guitarist.
I couldn't have said it better.
I was 16 in 1976 and I remember that summer well! Frampton comes alive tracks were playing on almost every radio station, it was a glorious summer. Thanks Peter!
me too! 16 that year...i remember going to high school and it was required for your record collection...everyone had it.
I was 18
I was 11
I was 16 also .The Best time ever .Cheers

You seem more concerned with the loss of "Equipment" than the human souls who perished in the fire. The whole story stinks.

One of the happiest stories in Rock history. Randy Bachman and Jimmy Page have had similar reunion stories.
McCartney too.
Randy Bachmann has almost 500 vintage Gretsch guitars...and still climbing
Myles Goodwyn had a Gibson Melody Maker returned after is was heisted some 30 plus years ago . Brian Setzer has had some of his Gretches just grow legs and walk off . Most of Setzer guitars where located and returned . Tom Petty as well because the guy who stole them ,wasn't smart enough to stash the instruments back , hocked them the day he stole them. He got busted for the theft .People with criminal intent just ain't smart . Now days with social media and camera's everywhere , it's hard not to get popped.

Only good people can have these kind of presents. And for sure you are one of them ! Loved your cats to ! God bless . Cheers from Brazil.
Hello there👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you had a wonderful day Today? God bless you!!❤️
I’m 28. A large part of my generation doesn’t realize how big Frampton was.
My mom always told me in 1976 everyone had the comes alive record.
For good reason too, it’s iconic.
One of the most treasured guitars in rock history in its rightful owners hands. A fantastic journey back in time!
I'm so glad you got it back!! Comes alive is still my favorite album!!♥️♥️♥️
A class act. Giddy as a school boy talking about getting this beloved instrument back. Can't help but like the guy.
Thank you, Peter, for making so many people happy, both with and without Phenix...
Even the cat wanted to hear what PF had to say. Saw him at Anaheim Stadium summer of 1976 with my sister, my girlfriend and best friends. I will never forget how his music personified my high school years. San Clemente '77.
Peter Frampton is still my favorite musician ❤️ My first concert to see him was in 1978. Of course a poster of this gorgeous man was on my bedroom wall as I was about 15
😆 🤣 😂 let the good times roll! His music.lives in my heart. So many memories attached to his songs...
Because of the association with Robert Fripp (King Crimson), Jan Akkerman (Focus) and Peter Frampton, the ebony black Les Paul was my favourite guitar. I saw Frampton live in one of his first solo shows at the Top Rank Club in Liverpool in 1972 (opening for Humble Pie, who headlined). He was sensational. Getting his beloved guitar back was just meant to happen!
Frampton comes alive was huge back in the day, absolutely massive, plus he was a very good looking bloke....
What a great story!
I'll never forget the first time the needle came down on my copy of FCA! I still have it. I definitely count you as one of the artists that inspired me to play. The first time I mashed a wah pedal it made me think of you Peter. Thank you for the wonderful memories. I'm glad you got that treasure back.🎸🎵🎶
Hello there👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you had a wonderful day Today? God bless you!!!❤️
I love you Peter ❤️🎸. You're great
Great Artist and Great band, this music shall last forever.
Love this story, Peter! 💝 Makes my heart happy you got your guitar back.
Was amazing you felt you had to learn to play other guitars all over again when this guitar was lost. The attachment one has for the tools of their trade…well, any such loss is totally huge! Monumental.
I see you love your kitties, too! 😊
Hello there👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you had a wonderful day Today? God bless you!❤️
Like a true Phoenix/Phenix! Amazing wonderful story!
Peter you are such a huge influence on my playing thanks for all of your great music over the years! I just wanted to say how much I love your kitties looking for attention in this video! Lol
Great story and Peter is such a cool guy. Back in the early ‘90’s I got a chance to talk with him for a few minutes after a set he did at a local street performance in Dothan Al. Just a regular guy like you see in this video with crazy writing, playing, and vocal skills. Thanks for all the great music man! 👍 (I still listen to Lines On My Face at least once a week and so do my co-workers 😉)
My favorite song of his
@@robertblanks9602 "You can't erase a dream... You can only wake me up" 😴
That is amazing that it's history was known for 30+ years . The gentleman who knew it needed to be reunited with Peter thank you . What a excellent video . Thank you for this history
Love me some Peter Frampton, my first ever concert back in 1977..... What a night that was!!! My brother took me and my boyfriend to see him, on my 16th birthday!!! WOW!!!!!? 🎸 JAMMING AND PASSING SMOKE....LOL A FIRST FOR EVERYTHING....😁
Just gotta love Peter Frampton, what a nice guy ......
This man is such a class act!!! Thanks for jamming for us all this time!!! I was 13 years old when Comes Alive was released!!!
Man, in HS everybody had either the record or the 8 track, or both. It was everywhere. This guitar definitely is one of the top guitars in rock history, up there with Page's LP and Gilmour's strat. I've seen Frampton a couple of times, he was great both times. Never tire of his music.
Or Page's doubleneck.
Well said brother
What an incredibly honorable guy to give Peter that guitar
I loved the story about the guitar, but most of all I love Peter Frampton. I followed him on TikTok and he was so sweet AND liked our comments. I left tiktok, but thank God I found him here.
Great story, Was lucky enough to see Peter a few times. The last two being on the Finale tour in 2019. Great shows! His band was very tight. Peter is most likely one of the most underrated guitarists ever! Exceptional talent.
Peter Frampton was my very first Concert! I just turned 14 years old so I was able to see him live, at The Poliedro de Caracas, What a Great Show! .
Hello there👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you had a wonderful day Today? God bless you!!❤️
This is the greatest Frampton interview i ever seen,.. this should be a TV special on Biography, or History, etc.. an incredibly epic story and life’s journey, featuring Rocks greatest Guitar, Guitarist, Album, Band, etc.. All the stars were aligned for this moment. No other album is as much of an adrenaline rush as Frampton Comes Alive, THIS is, the Pinnacle of Rock & Roll🎸🥁🎹🎤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Peter Frampton, I saw you in Chicago back in the middle to late 70’s. It was an outdoor show. Don’t remember who else was on the bill. Y’all are rock legends! KEEP ON ROCKIN!
Comes alive is the soundtrack of my high-school years. Class of 80. Thank you Peter. 😊
Hello there👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you had a wonderful day Today? God bless you!!❤️
I introduced my classic-rock loving 22 year old son to "Comes Alive".
His first breathless comment was: " How have I never heard of this before?"
Great rock and roll never goes out of style.
I saw Peter frampton sept 24 1979 at Clarkson university in upstate Ny I remember he had no warm up band and Rocked for almost 3 hours. Great show! And I do remember this guitar because it had 3 pickups. It sounded awesome!
Took a poster down off a pole outside Frampton Seger Rick Derringer UFO concert and still have- even though not too good shape, I still love it 😊
Hello there👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you had a wonderful day Today? God bless you!!❤️
Thank you Peter
I was 13 years old when I bought Frampton comes alive, I wore that album out ! Still today it’s one of my all time favourite albums ! Love and peace
Saw him in a park in Washington DC. 1976 I couldn't believe my luck as I was working my way across the U.S. from the west. When I heard it was an informal free show I was even happier. He was one of my favorite musicians.
Phenominal story about a great artist and his Phenix…
Bill Graham Presents...Day On The Green... it was magical... Thank you for the memories!! Xoxo
It’s terrible to hear such beautiful instruments ending their life’s in such an horrendous way. However it’s absolutely amazing this guitar survived. And the Gibson technician are totally brilliant. And Peter Frampton I really hope you survive for MANY MANY MANY years to come because you’re the guy, (Master) that makes these instruments sing so beautifully 🙏
Awesome musician! Awesome guitar! Awesome story! I'm so glad it was found and made it's way back home! The Phoenix is one of my favorite guitars of all time! I hope some day I can get one of the signature models!
I got emotional just watching this. I was only 9 years old when 'Frampton Comes Alive' was released but I can still remember how much of an impact it had on musicians across the country and me personally. It's one of my favorite albums of all time and as an "old man" now I realize that Peter Frampton is one of the best guitar players ever. I'm glad I got to see him live in 1996 at the Lakewood Amphitheater just outside of Atlanta. He sounded EXACTLY like he did back in 1976 on his album.
It was 1977, I would lay in my living room floor with headphones plugged into a giant furniture looking cabinet with a middle area with lift up door that had a turntable, I would listen to Frampton Comes Alive for hours every night…great memories!
Saw him in ‘76 when I was 14 - Three Rivers Stadium (Pittsburgh). It was Gary Wright, Frampton, and then The Beach Boys. Gary Wright was great, Frampton absolutely killed it and then... we left completely satisfied. What a show 👏👏👏✊🏼
Peter,
If you read these comments, which I hope you do. Thank you for giving us your wonderful music. Sharing your God given talent.
You are amazing.
Thank you Peter, for everything you have done for Rock n Roll. Became a fan in 1975, when I was on Okinawa with the United States Marine Corps.
What a Great Story. Sad that it wasn't played by Peter for 31 years. But amazing that it is back in his hands and being played !!! You can just tell how overwhelmed and happy he is
that he has it back in his life.
Saw Peter in 1976 in Charleston, WV. Rick Derringer was the opener . My first concert at 16 years old.
Thanks for sharing your life and talent with us Mr. Frampton !!!
Great story! Thanks for the music PF!
Peter Frampton was one of the primary musical threads that I grew up with. Pivotal influencing the music that I came to prefer. I have loved the LP style guitar all my life and own one of my own. That is all endearing but the thing I appreciate most is that when he got his baby in hand again, Mr. Frampton just fixed it, (Had it fixed) and then played it, I am so tired of vintage guitars being put behind glass and no longer played. It was, and still is today why the guitar was crafted, assembled and sold to someone. The guitar can share no love unless it is played. Thank you Mr. Peter Frampton not just for the music of my life but also for simply playing your guitar, both then and again now.
This axe was just meant to be in Pete’s Hands.. good man that gave it to a good man. I saw you with Humble Pie as a warm up to Grand Funk in 1970… Cleveland Public Hall .. I was 14.. the whole evening was amazing.. from what I remember..
Please keep going Peter. I am 61 years old and back in 76 that album changed my musical life. I’m not a musician but music hits me in the soul. I only saw you live once here in Syracuse New York in 2019. My buddy and I were blown away. I would love to get another chance. God bless you!
Thanks for sharing Peter.Awesome story
I just found your channel. I can’t begin to tell you how many amazing memories I created with your magical music playing in the background. The only way I can begin to describe your music is magical!! It can never ever be recreated. Once in a lifetime a wizard comes into your life. Thank you wizard Peter!!
Hello there👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you had a wonderful day Today? God bless you!❤️
Peter, in describing that album to younger people, I've said "you can literally hear him smiling through the music". It wasn't us smiling (though we do), it was YOU.
Very nice great stories! Thanks 😊 🙏
I'm 67 now and remember buying Comes Alive when I was 19, It was all i listened to for a year. I was lucky to be at the Beacon Theatre in New York in 2013 when he played the entire album for the first time with the ressurected guitar. Just in awe!!
One of the best live albums Peter thank you for continually giving joy X hello from UK
One of my favorite people, thank you. and thanks to mutual friend Bob Heil.
Rock On.
Congrats on getting your partner back, she sounds great.
Thank you for all of the wonderful music.
Frampton Comes Alive is on my playlist.
One of the best ever Live records
Hello there👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you had a wonderful day Today? God bless you!!!❤️
Kudos to Mark for giving the perfect guitar to Peter, and to all the people involved in getting it back to him after it vanished. What a story! Thanks 😎
The epitome of how humble superstars should express their appreciation for their massive success. Tremendous, tremendous video... thank you.
I was young.... 17 old... Come Alive..... thank you Mr Peter from Italy
For those of us who play electric guitar, this was truly epic and for me it was very emotional. I saw him in the early 2000s at my military base. He was still able to bring it. What a fantastic guitar story/history.🤘🤘🤘😲😲👏👏👏👏😍
Hello there👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you had a wonderful day Today? God bless you!❤️
I saw Peter at Clapton's Crossroad Festival in 2019 here in Dallas. I was 18 in 1975 when "Comes Alive" came out so seeing him in person was like the completion of a circle! But what surprised me most was the energy he put out that night...1975's recording had nothing on the 2019 performance! Peter...thank you for the great memories and keep the stories coming!
I saw that tour, Mershon Auditorium Columbus Ohio '74 or 5.
Rock the pipe Peter.
I am extremely happy, for you, Mr. Frampton!
From a fan of yours, and the Mighty Humble Pie!!!! 52yr. Fan....🍁
In 1975.... Peter Frampton was HUGE!! His songs, his music, his guitar defined Rock n Roll! We went to see him in Hartford Ct...live and outdoors!!! And that guitar is "Unmistakable "... Congratulations Pete..." I Feel Like You Do" 🎵🎶🎵
Happy homecoming for the Phenix! 😍
SO brought tears to my eyes! I know what that connection with a guitar is - and what it means to have it stolen from you! By whatever means! Just devastating! But to have it returned after all these years? Awesome!
Got to see Peter in Houston, but had followed him for years! Have always loved him and pray for him all the time since he announced he wasn't touring anymore! Even more now that I ended up completely losing all feeling in 1/2 my fretting hand!
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
I was about 10 when frampton comes alive came out. I was blown away completely. I remember playing air guitar to every song on the album for hours and hours. My dad ended up buying me a guitar and getting me lessons which turned my life around. You were one of my biggest influences and I'm not sure I wouldve picked up guitar without your influence. I am also grateful you have your guitar back, that's just an amazing story of how it all happened. But its home now!!!
Amazing story. Thank you Peter for all the years of entertainment. I was blessed to see you in Orlando in Sept ‘77.
What a great story.
Thank you, Peter for sharing your talent with us.
🎸🎶👍
I saw Peter at Cobo Hall in Detroit and a show at Eastern Michigan out door concert in the 70s, and he and his guitar sounded great. Great story and I am glad you got it back.
