Frampton was so underrated. Marketing him as a teen dream/pin up boy just destroyed his reputation as a brilliant guitarist. I was really young when Frampton Comes Alive came out and my bestie was obsessed with him. We spent hours listening to Alive and then bought all his studio albums....still 40 years on, I find his music and his voice to be sublime and his guitar playing so clean...it just shimmers. I saw his last tour and he is still just brilliant.
Underrated and "sales" aren't the same thing. His reputation suffered because of the way he was marketed and he never regained that level of popularity. He never got the recognition that a Jimmy Page, or a Jeff Beck got and he really had to fight his way back into legitimacy. No one wanted to know...that's when Bowie hired him as a guitarist on his tour and gave him a chance to shine again.@@garnetnewton-wade4091
The summer of "Frampton Comes Alive" was incredible. Everywhere you went, this album was playing. At every beach. Every party. Every park. Graduation celebrations. Blasting out of cars with their windows down. That summer I clearly remember sitting on the roof of my house, catching some rays, blasting this album. And not one neighbor complained!😎
I remember when "Frampton Comes Alive" was released. It was a BIG DEAL. Studio quality sound on a live album. Killer guitar work. Tight band. It's still on my phone's SD card, 43 years later
You must have had the first SD card made for it to have been on there for 43 years ! ;O) I've had the album on 8 track, cassette, and still have it on vinyl double album, complete with all the wonderful liner notes.
The 70's were wonderful....I remember watching The Midnight Special every week and driving around in my red Chevelle with the windows rolled down while Frampton blasted on my 8 track. Those were the days. Frampton was great, still is, but the attention was on his appearance and it over shadowed his skill. I loved his hair! Thanks to his buddy David Bowie for helping pull him around. Also gotta give a big thanks to Bob Mayo for adding perfect back up. Thanks for sharing.
I remember listening to 'album' formatted FM stations in LA, where the Dj would play an entire side of an album, do a quick break and move to the other side. Now it's all advertising, loud commercials and songs cut off before they are even over.
I remember cruising with my older brother listening t all this music on 8track in his 66 Ford Fairlaine GTA. With me a few yrs later on casette in a 69 Impala😜
I agree, Bowie did Frampton a great favor. But hats off to Peter for being ready to take advantage of the opportunity Bowie offered him. I met Frampton in Chicago when he was touring with Ringo. He spoke with me and my friends, signed autographs and was friendly even though he had to get in the van to head to the gig.
I saw Peter live here in Chicago, Illinois last july on his farewell tour at a huge outdoor arena I can tell you this, he hasn't lost a thing. His soloing, dynamics, chord inversions, vocals were all there. He did all his classics and even some blues which blew me away. His encore song was 'Do You Feel (Like I do)'. He must have done 7 or 8 minutes on the talk box alone on that song. The crowd went wild, people were dancing in the aisles and it brought me back to the glorious mid 70's. His opening act was Jason Bonham & The Led Zeppelin Experience. Talk about a real good show - Zeppelin & Frampton. Doesn't get any better!
@@wingsofpegasus I saw Frampton in concert in 2000 at the Navy base here where I live. He was even better than he was back then. I'd love to see him again before he retires. :'( .
First off,this is the BEST version of this song. No whistling over the intro and a super clean performance of a great song! The audience were captivated and were there to listen and enjoy rather than drink,smoke,whistle and raise hell.
I remember watching this as a 13 year old learning guitar, and i was floored! PF tone, phrasing and use of pedals and talk box were so on point! Frampton is probably the prime example of how being promoted and thought of as a teen idol can totally overtake and make people not focus on ability! PF was and still is a master player who NEVER received his due as one of the best of his generation! Another spot on review and analysis!
I'm proud to say I sat in the 8th row of MSG for a show from that Frampton album tour. It would be a great show for anyone to see but as a 16 yr old it was the greatest thing I ever saw
I can remember waiting all week for the Midnight Special show. No computers back then for instant gratification. We had to wait, and the wait was worth it! There were great performances like this every week. What an awesome time it was!👍😎🎸🎶
@@74dartman13 Can't say I remember that one. I remember Johnny Cash's show I think Glen Campbell had one too and Sonny and Cher oh and we can't forget Carol Burnett. Oops I might be getting off track here. But I'll say Fil sure can stir up the memories
@@jamesgordonakacrazylegs8222 ya, there were so many good ones. I don't think Kenny's show lasted long. Was the early 70's. I remember all the other ones too. There was so much talent and everyone was different. Now they all sound the same. I miss that stuff!☺
James McKellar - Unfortunately he has announced this coming tour will be his last because he’s been diagnosed with a degenerative muscle contraction disease which hasn’t affected his play noticeably yet but probably will within a few years. Sad, but his attitude about it is pretty amazing. There is an experimental treatment he might try so who knows? But most likely he’s throwing it in after this tour.
Indeed Peter did. The girls used to swoon over his looks, but his fantastic guitar playing and equally good voice was somewhat overshadowed by the popularity of "Frampton Comes Alive". He was part of Humble Pie's early success, also. Peter also credited his mate David Bowie for his comeback, by asking Peter to be the guitarist for his "Glass Spiders" tour.
The "Midnight Special" was treat each and every week. Peter Frampton is a much underrated guitarist, highly skilled in acoustic work as well as electric lead stuff. His period with Humble Pie consists of an aggressive and heavy blues based guitar sound; lest we forget about his vocals which are exemplary. Great player. As usual, a fun and interesting post!
Frampton was beyond good and he still is. I worked in the music dept. of a Zeller's and there was a huge poster of him above. What a cutie!!! It was the early 70's and I was 16!
Frampton’s MAGIC .... 👍. Those of us old enough to remember, Frampton was huge at the time. Constantly on the radio etc. I saw him in concert in the 70’s, and he put on a fantastic show....” Frampton Comes Alive”.... Yea.!
Oh yeah…Frampton with Humble Pie!! My very first concert at age seventeen was at The Fillmore East NYC to see Humble Pie, oh what a night, truly awesome! I’ll never forget Gilded Splinters at that show. Pie opened for Eric Clapton, Derek and the Dominoes! Just an unbelievable night. Man, I hear you about the Frampton/Marriott double guitar work!! Rock On!
I love Music!!! But I do not know anything about it. Thanks to your videos I feel like a get a Free Music Lesson each video!! I absolutely Love your Channel!! I do remember when Peter played with Humble Pie. Maybe sometime you could do a video with the Pie!!! Thanks for your hard work Bro
Let me fire-up the lava and strobe lights... ok.... Doooo yoooou feeeeeel liiiiiike weee do... I want to thank you ! Great choice Fil .. I had Frampton Comes Alive on my turntable for months back in the day. Yes I'm old, but still rockin' every night thank you Fil. 😎🎸 Keep the classics rolling in ✌😎
When I saw Peter playing 30 days in the hole with Marriott and the Pie I was hooked. Glad he survived to live a long and healthy life. Rock on Pete. And Fil.
Bought this album brand new when it came out, freaked out when I heard that “squawk box” talking! Played it till the needle went through the grooves! Still get the shivers when he gets through the use of that “new” technology for the day and launches into the big finish.
Peter Frampton uses technology in a good way, to make great music. I saw him live, with the Steve Miller Band, last year, on his birthday. What an amazing musician.
I had a massive poster of Frampton on my wall as a kid, his shirt off, guitar on and wild smile drawing you in...of course, there was much discussion amongst my friends about his daring lilac satin trousers and incredible wavy hair ..but nothing spelled ROCK at a concert like listening to Do You Feel Like We Do? It immediately put you in a certain frame of mind and we all knew we'd be in for a good night. Rock on Peter!
I had the same Frampton poster, too. Right beside Farrah Fawcett and some black light posters that I'd gotten at a shop in the Circus Circus Casino in Vegas during a summer vacation "out west". A few from Spencer's at the mall too, I'm sure. I wore this album out playing it on my AM/FM/8-Track/Turntable stereo with the dark "smoke" colored turntable cover from back in the day. If I had a dollar for each time I cranked Do You Feel Like I Do when I'd go to bed, and listen through my giant, padded Sony headphones with the long, coiled cable, I'd have a nice chunk of change. (Damn near rich if I added Nugent's Stranglehold and a borrowed 8-track of Foghat's Slow Ride!). In '76 I was in the 9th grade. Seems unreal.
Saw him a few years ago at the Pony outdoor stage and he could still bring it big time. Full of energy and the playing and vocal were 'spot on' all these years later.
What a time of wonderful memories this brings back. I got to see him in concert 1975 I’m guessing. I still plug this one in often because it’s relaxing.
From 1970 to 1980 I went from 12 years old to 22 years old. What a decade! What a great time to be into music, all kinds of music. I have a handful of artists I call my favorites and Peter Frampton is one of them. Even watching his videos in the last 10-15 years he is still the coolest guy! Keep up the good work Fil, really enjoy your reactions😎👍
I like watching YOU, Fil, changing between grins to smiles and then WIDE smiles, knowing and realizing the great parts and the GREATEST parts, like I did 44 years ago when I was 14. Superb analysis as always. Thank you.
Another master! Peter can shred and has so many hits, one of the best! Frampton comes alive!! That album alone puts him easily in the top 25 guitarist of all time!!! Simply Extraordinary and he did session work for many bands that wanted his Soul on thier album!!! Rock!!!
Fil I just can’t seem to get enough of your videos. I am just an old beat up guitarist nowadays, so the videos are very relaxing for me and your enthusiasm is enjoyable to watch. Thanks.
Sat in a bar, got drunk, listening to the entire album, end to end, in San Francisco in 1975...one of the best experiences I had in San Francisco...Remember it as if it happened yesterday
You young uns' have no idea how big Frampton was in the mid 70's. He sold out major stadiums 5-6-7 nights a week for years straight. Something nobody today could possibly do.
You old fogies don't know what your talking about. Ed Sheeran is packing out venues nearly every night. He's a master at playing songs with just 3 chords...............................Do you know how difficult that is to do Grampa?
Saw Frampton play live about 6,7 years back performing at our Erie County fair. It was an absolute beast of a day-- stifling hot and airless, gray and moist and stuffy with intermittent drizzle, and they were playing on an outdoor stage setup that must have blocked the occasional meager breeze off from their backs. Horrible situation for anyone, but you'd never have known it from the band's enthusiasm--- they performed like it was their favorite gig, doing old faves and new jazzy tracks, and were obviously enjoying themselves like crazy. They played longer than they had to, Frampton was amazing, and this song lasted, I think, about 20 minutes and never lost our interest. I wouldn't hesitate to see him again, given the chance. The band was tight; the direction, blissfully loose.
I saw Peter support Deep Purple and he played 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' as a tribute to George Harrison, and his solo during that song is still the best I have ever witnessed at a gig, it was breathtaking.
Glad I've seen Peter live a few times. He's an amazing guitar player and performer. I am going to see him on this last tour. I just realized that I saw this clip when it first aired. Crazy. Thanks for this Fil.
Hey Fil. Sorry I missed your last live stream . Really good video. I have not heard frampton in years. I should be used to it by now but it still blows my mind seeing you really enjoying old school music like this considering how young you are
Yeah, that song was played to absolute death on the radio. But it was so magical with that talk box stuff. His choice of notes with that little hint of jazz in there at times. That live recording on Frampton Comes Alive is just amazing. He plays it pretty much the same but a little different in the solo sections. I got my fil of Fil now. HEHEHHE off to beddie bye.
OMG another brilliant performance by Peter Frampton!! Fil, you'd love his newly released memoir Do You Feel Like I Do? Sadly, due to his degenerative illness which atrophies the muscles in his legs, arms and fingers, his playing days are numbered. Always remembered and treasured for the icon he is.❤️🙏
I was in high school at the time. True guitarists (and musicians) always appreciated his guitar playing, regardless of all the other stuff going on with him and his career. It's nice to see him get the appreciation he deserves.
Such a stellar album. The harmony, the melody, the dedication to the live expression is fantastic. TY Fil for loving music and being a great performer and so totally educated about it all as well. Great video! 🤟
Sally you have to see him this summer on his farewell tour. He has a nerve disease and has announced his retirement from touring. For a few more days Live Nation is doing their $20 ticket special for a lotta of artist including Peter. Get you some tix cheap. He is a great player and human. A joy to see live.
Love the drumming on this track! The guy is all over the kit. Glad to see Peter Frampton getting some play...he really knows his way around the instrument...rarely looks down at his hands! 🎼✌🏻🎸
I heard that to. Also at The hieght of his career didn't he let some chic crush his heart like he couldn't get over it, spent his money, did his friends and so on.... She was hot but come on man. Yer Frampton it's 1975.......
I was lucky enough to see him at the Beacon Theater in NYC the first time he played it live after getting it back. He told the whole story. He always puts on a great show. For a while I'd see him in smaller venues when he was not selling out anymore. I am glad he is now getting the recognition he deserves. Tragic about his illness. But he is always positive and cheerful. He can play gypsy jazz too. Gotta love him!
Was honored to see Peter Frampton live last month (Sept 24th, 2019) here in Albuquerque. He was Absolutely Phenomenal. It's so hard to believe that this was his farewell tour. One. Of. The. Best. Concerts. Ever !! Didn't want the evening to end. Great evening and most memorable.
Peter said his career harmonically changed when he converted to the 3 humbucker Les Paul tone (a 1954 LP Custom modified). Peter pretty much was the pioneer of the 3 humbucker LP with a more diverse wiring scheme that gave him more flexibility. He had a master volume and tone for the Bridge and the neck together and then a master volume and tone for the middle pickup. Whereas stock Gibson wiring scheme had that middle humbucker was "live" all the time variable to the volume control. Peter's rerouted wiring scheme: Position 1 Option: Bridge with the alternative to blend in the middle or null. Position 2 Option: Bridge and Neck with the alternative to blend in the middle or null . Position 3 Option: Neck with the alternative to blend in the middle or null.
The Midnight Special was such a great way to see artists on TV every Friday night back in the day. The artists weren't always my taste, but overall outstanding show. Enjoyed In Concert and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert too, they were the same concept but more rock and roll! 🤘🏻
Watched this program going into my teen years, it was so much better than anything else of the time! Hadn’t thought of it in a long time, thanks for the video! Looking through the comments I see a lot long time travelers on the road of life, rock on folks!
This is the party music for sure. Frampton Comes Alive Is the party album. Not much filler on that. Bob Mayo on keys Bob Mayo 😂 Thanks Fil yer The Man 🤘 ROCK
r i p Rob Mayo on the keyboards Rip Bob Mayo. Gone too soon. also don't realize the classic show me the way was Bob strumming away on that 12 string that drives that song. one Google's of Bob Mayo you are pleasantly surprised what a great musician he really was and gone from us way too soon. great video love Pete sadly he has come to grips that he may not be able to play too much longer but the great thing about it is he's doing everything you can fill in as much time as you can I'm sure many have seen the interview from about earlier this year where he diagnosed what is had happened to him..
@@mitchettie1581 yeah mm for 53 years old had a heart attack on tour in Switzerland.. Bob was a great New York guy jam with many people before Pete. plays with Hall and Oates for a while and a whole lot of others. in fact it's quite a few videos were Bob's not playing the keyboards and he's playing the guitar.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist that I didn't know either. I gotta tell you it really saddens me unusual kinda way. I'm from the Beaches of the Carolina's early mid fifties construction worker so growing up Pete and Bob and many others they were our induction to recorded live music. Well probably The Best live album that I know of. Feels like a piece missing . Wondering if your getting that too. Thanks so much for the info. Always heard that Pete with all the insane stardom he never felt like he got to really enjoy it.
When “Frampton Comes Alive” came out I purchased it right away. I love the album. I am 58 and I still have the album. I also saw him in concert in the early 2000’s and he was GREAT! He sounded the same. I am still a big fan. You also rock Fil!
Brilliant as always Fil, and I learnt a new word "extemporaneous", thank you! As a matter of interest, I wonder how much of what you cover is from each different decade? My music is 70's and seems a lot of what you cover is also 70's. As a follow up to your Greta Van Fleet video of a month or so ago, my 15 year old daughter introduced me to them. I like them. I introduced her to Led Zeppelin and she has become a total fan and listens to nothing else now! In my post a month ago I wondered about the shelf life of Greta, if my daughter is anything to go by...not long.
I remember hearing this as a 15 year old brand new in 1975. I blew my mind, I loved the whole live album "Frampton Live". Thanks for your thoughts on Peter's rocking!
Love Frampton...and I believe most of the US fans were going to see his guitar playing (and the females were there for his looks too! 😉). I saw him down here in Florida in the 70s at what were called "Superbowls" because they were held in football stadiums & you had a lineup of THE most amazing bands on one ticket (I was very young, but had a brother who was 6 years older & he took his 8,9,10 year old little sister with him...those are memories that I will always cherish because I got to experience those bands & I was with my big brother who passed away in February about 30 minutes after I'd been there to see him. And he fought hard to stay because I've been fighting throat cancer the last 2 years & he so wanted to be here for me...sorry, guess that was TMI, just trying to explain why I treasure those times so much) and Frampton was great! But I did hear there was a concert maybe in the mid-west where Skynyrd went on first, and that Skynyrd blew him off the stage & the fans weren't happy. I'll have to see if I can track down what concert it was & the comments about it. And these were Frampton fans, who had gone to see him not Skynyrd, saying this. They said at least half the people left. Don't quote me on this...like I said, I'll try to track that info down. And everyone don't shoot me for mentioning Skynyrd a lot...they're my fav, so I'm unashamedly biased! 🤣
Peter Frampton and his Do you feel like we do! A world classic and here in Cuba too! That song I use to listen to frequently! He was here once some years ago, didn´t sing but people next to him surely told him about that song and other like Show me the way and I´m in you. Peter Frampton, one of the best guitarist of all times and everywhere. Great selection close to my youngter´s life, Cuban of 61 years of age. Greetings from Havana, Cuba.
I'm sure i watched this when it originally aired. The Midnight Special was a must see every Friday night. All the top bands of the 70's performed their current and past hits absolutely live, exactly how they wanted to do them. At school everyone would be talking about who was going to be on that night. I wish this form would come back, but sadly it seems unlikely to ever happen again.
Over the years I have attended several of jazz guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli performances (I just saw him a couple of months ago with Ramsey Lewis). John tells the story that when he was in high school, he was in his bedroom learning some of the lead parts from "Frampton Comes Alive" when his father, the legendary jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, stuck his head in the door and said, "if you can play that, you can play jazz!"
thank you for this Fil. The Midnight Special was a godsend back in the day (as was Don Kirshner's Rock Concert). When you lived in a rural area of Australia and could not often see the bands (that really never toured here often enough anyway). That being said, this song and the album it came from "Frampton Comes Alive", is not just an pop album to me. I agree with you that he is so much more than a pop star. For people of my age, this song, album and artist it is a part of the fabric of our lives. This was played often and everywhere. Thank you so much for the analysis of his playing style. You are putting the correct terms in the places where our discussions of the music we listened to back as young teens which was (and probably still is) severely lacking. Love it and plenty more to come, Thanks again :) Oh and more Rory Gallagher and Taste if you can :)
Not really as he was in The Herd as a teen and then Humble Pie. This was followed by several solo albums before the live album. He just seemed like an overnight success.
@@dougdavidson3260 I know he was in Humble Pie did a lot of work on the way to stardom but I am talking about when he gained instant attention with Frampton Comes Alive, which put him on the cover of the Rolling Stone.
This was such a great show that had awesome guests. So happy that this is available for me to watch any time I like. This is 1 of a handful of Midnight Special videos that I watch frequently. Frampton Comes Alive was a must have album.
Fil does amazing content. No swearing, constructive, very positive, informed and informative , enthusiastic and entertaining. I now realise I'll probably hear soneone who's great who I'd not listened to before!
The Midnight Special is a Gold mine of bands in the 70's. Along with Don Kershner's Rock Concert and Soul Train. Prior to Music Videos. As a teen. This was Heaven. On Monday morning at school. Everybody was Did you see Frampton or Cheep Trick on tv ?. Fil this was when these guys were at the top of their Drug induced alcohol fueled best. I know you do mostly Guitar analysis. But can do a video of a great performer ?. Please do The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis. Rock on !.
2022: Beautiful. Peter has always been Wonderful. Great guitar work and vocals. Great Band tooo. Good mix by the network. I watched Midnight Special every week. Also, love the "Acoustic" bass amp. One of the best ever made with an 18" speaker. They made great amps. Thanks for this excellent review, as always.
I was to young to watch The Midnight Special, but in the last cpl of yrs I have picked up 2 DVD sets of the show & wish that I had been able to watch it when it aired. As far as I can tell Peter used the talk box more than any other artist.
Frampton was so underrated. Marketing him as a teen dream/pin up boy just destroyed his reputation as a brilliant guitarist. I was really young when Frampton Comes Alive came out and my bestie was obsessed with him.

The Humble Pie live album has Frampton's best playing
Agreed ,this footage shows him,open jacket that tan etc,but as we know ,he is the real deal,a top class musician.
Underrated?????? He sold more copies of Comes Alive than anyone in History ffs!
Underrated and "sales" aren't the same thing. His reputation suffered because of the way he was marketed and he never regained that level of popularity.

The cool thing is he has continued to grow as a musician
James McKellar - Unfortunately he has announced this coming tour will be his last because he’s been diagnosed with a degenerative muscle contraction disease which hasn’t affected his play noticeably yet but probably will within a few years. Sad, but his attitude about it is pretty amazing.
There is an experimental treatment he might try so who knows? But most likely he’s throwing it in after this tour.
Indeed Peter did. The girls used to swoon over his looks, but his fantastic guitar playing and equally good voice was somewhat overshadowed by the popularity of "Frampton Comes Alive". He was part of Humble Pie's early success, also. Peter also credited his mate David Bowie for his comeback, by asking Peter to be the guitarist for his "Glass Spiders" tour.
The "Midnight Special" was treat each and every week. Peter Frampton is a much underrated guitarist, highly skilled in acoustic work as well as electric lead stuff. His period with Humble Pie consists of an aggressive and heavy blues based guitar sound; lest we forget about his vocals which are exemplary. Great player. As usual, a fun and interesting post!
Saw Peter a few years ago in Atlanta....he is still great as ever!!!Great one fil...thanks
Frampton was beyond good and he still is. I worked in the music dept. of a Zeller's and there was a huge poster of him above. What a cutie!!! It was the early 70's and I was 16!
Frampton’s MAGIC .... 👍. Those of us old enough to remember, Frampton was huge at the time. Constantly on the radio etc. I saw him in concert in the 70’s, and he put on a fantastic show....” Frampton Comes Alive”.... Yea.!
Fil. Has anyone ever told you how very much you are appreciated? If not , here’s to you. Love you, man.
Thanks!
Love Frampton and thanks for the memories of Wolfman Jack and the Midnight Special...🎶Let the Midnight Special shine her ever lovin' light on me!🎶
Tupelo Honey Yo!! GREAT song!!!
Great memories of great times 😁
Emily Liberty
Tupelo Honey Listened to Wolfman Jack as a kid. They showcased his show on 101 the WRIF out of Detroit. Good times
Twas a Wolfman fan
James Gordon 😀🤘
@@jamesgordonakacrazylegs8222 , do you remember the other hosts of Midnight Special TV series? Maybe Helen Reddy?
His duels with Steve Marriot on Live at the Filmore were unbelievable with Walk on Gilded Splinters being my alltime favourite music.
Oh yeah…Frampton with Humble Pie!! My very first concert at age seventeen was at The Fillmore East NYC to see Humble Pie, oh what a night, truly awesome! I’ll never forget Gilded Splinters at that show. Pie opened for Eric Clapton, Derek and the Dominoes! Just an unbelievable night. Man, I hear you about the Frampton/Marriott double guitar work!! Rock On!
I love Music!!! But I do not know anything about it. Thanks to your videos I feel like a get a Free Music Lesson each video!! I absolutely Love your Channel!! I do remember when Peter played with Humble Pie. Maybe sometime you could do a video with the Pie!!! Thanks for your hard work Bro
Let me fire-up the lava and strobe lights... ok.... Doooo yoooou feeeeeel liiiiiike weee do... I want to thank you ! Great choice Fil .. I had Frampton Comes Alive on my turntable for months back in the day. Yes I'm old, but still rockin' every night thank you Fil. 😎🎸 Keep the classics rolling in ✌😎
Forget the stobe light fire up the black lights! Lol
Who’s wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine? Love the line.
I feel like you do. 😁😁😁
That was me last October at the wineries in southern Illinois!!..🤣🤣
@@loripond1839 Because nothing says party like Illinois wine. 😁😁😁
As a voice of experience watch out for that homemade stuff you wake up saying who the fuck are you
When I saw Peter playing 30 days in the hole with Marriott and the Pie I was hooked. Glad he survived to live a long and healthy life. Rock on Pete. And Fil.
Bought this album brand new when it came out, freaked out when I heard that “squawk box” talking! Played it till the needle went through the grooves! Still get the shivers when he gets through the use of that “new” technology for the day and launches into the big finish.
Peter Frampton uses technology in a good way, to make great music. I saw him live, with the Steve Miller Band, last year, on his birthday. What an amazing musician.
I actually had to buy a second copy of FCA in 1980 because I wore out my first copy!
I had a massive poster of Frampton on my wall as a kid, his shirt off, guitar on and wild smile drawing you in...of course, there was much discussion amongst my friends about his daring lilac satin trousers and incredible wavy hair ..but nothing spelled ROCK at a concert like listening to Do You Feel Like We Do? It immediately put you in a certain frame of mind and we all knew we'd be in for a good night. Rock on Peter!
I had the same Frampton poster, too. Right beside Farrah Fawcett and some black light posters that I'd gotten at a shop in the Circus Circus Casino in Vegas during a summer vacation "out west". A few from Spencer's at the mall too, I'm sure. I wore this album out playing it on my AM/FM/8-Track/Turntable stereo with the dark "smoke" colored turntable cover from back in the day. If I had a dollar for each time I cranked Do You Feel Like I Do when I'd go to bed, and listen through my giant, padded Sony headphones with the long, coiled cable, I'd have a nice chunk of change. (Damn near rich if I added Nugent's Stranglehold and a borrowed 8-track of Foghat's Slow Ride!). In '76 I was in the 9th grade. Seems unreal.
Saw him a few years ago at the Pony outdoor stage and he could still bring it big time. Full of energy and the playing and vocal were 'spot on' all these years later.
Carl Swenson Lol Carl. My phone screen is broken and through the cracks, your name loked like Cat Stevens.😁
Emily Liberty
I saw Peter Frampton five times. Awesome every time!💯🔥🎸❤️! Fil this was greatly appreciated. Thank you 😀
Kathy Prior That's a relationship Kathy 😁
Cool!
No stalking charges I hope
@@jamesgordonakacrazylegs8222 My best friend always wanted to see Frampton for her birthday!
@@bekind6763 now that's a good excuse stick with that one
What a time of wonderful memories this brings back. I got to see him in concert 1975 I’m guessing. I still plug this one in often because it’s relaxing.
Cool!
From 1970 to 1980 I went from 12 years old to 22 years old. What a decade! What a great time to be into music, all kinds of music. I have a handful of artists I call my favorites and Peter Frampton is one of them. Even watching his videos in the last 10-15 years he is still the coolest guy!
Keep up the good work Fil, really enjoy your reactions😎👍
I like watching YOU, Fil, changing between grins to smiles and then WIDE smiles, knowing and realizing the great parts and the GREATEST parts, like I did 44 years ago when I was 14. Superb analysis as always. Thank you.
Another master!
Peter can shred and has so many hits, one of the best!
Frampton comes alive!!
That album alone puts him easily in the top 25 guitarist of all time!!! Simply Extraordinary and he did session work for many bands that wanted his Soul on thier album!!!
Rock!!!
Fil I just can’t seem to get enough of your videos. I am just an old beat up guitarist nowadays, so the videos are very relaxing for me and your enthusiasm is enjoyable to watch. Thanks.
congratulations on learning an instrument
Thanks Jim!
be careful fil will beat you up with some of his pics
yourontheair I as I said play guitar. You do not know me but thanks for the congrats. Do you play anything?
James Gordon good deal I do enjoy his videos.
Another great artist Peter Frampton 😃party favourite for me👍thanks fil
Sat in a bar, got drunk, listening to the entire album, end to end, in San Francisco in 1975...one of the best experiences I had in San Francisco...Remember it as if it happened yesterday
I was 15 when Frampton Come Alive was released. One of those records that almost everyone you knew had in their collection.
You young uns' have no idea how big Frampton was in the mid 70's. He sold out major stadiums 5-6-7 nights a week for years straight. Something nobody today could possibly do.
NuclearGrizzly Yes, he was pure Gold. All the girls loved him and all the boys wanted to be like him. 😁
Emily Liberty
You old fogies don't know what your talking about. Ed Sheeran is packing out venues nearly every night.
He's a master at playing songs with just 3 chords...............................Do you know how difficult that is to do Grampa?
NuclearGrizzly bad bunny can and btw I’ve never heard of these guys before but they sound pretty good... i see why people fucked with this!!!
NuclearGrizzly saw him when I was 15 in 1975. Had a big crush . Fantastic guitar player.
@@Coldnewton Learn proper spelling and grammar if you want to have any credibility. It's *you're, not your and grandpa, not grampa.
Always loved his guitar playing and a really good singer. Listen to "Dig What I'm Saying" for a post 70s rocker track.
Fil Peter Frampton seems to always be overlooked when guitar players are ranked. Good show, Jeff in LA USA
Saw Frampton play live about 6,7 years back performing at our Erie County fair. It was an absolute beast of a day-- stifling hot and airless, gray and moist and stuffy with intermittent drizzle, and they were playing on an outdoor stage setup that must have blocked the occasional meager breeze off from their backs. Horrible situation for anyone, but you'd never have known it from the band's enthusiasm--- they performed like it was their favorite gig, doing old faves and new jazzy tracks, and were obviously enjoying themselves like crazy. They played longer than they had to, Frampton was amazing, and this song lasted, I think, about 20 minutes and never lost our interest. I wouldn't hesitate to see him again, given the chance. The band was tight; the direction, blissfully loose.
Cool!
I saw Peter support Deep Purple and he played 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' as a tribute to George Harrison, and his solo during that song is still the best I have ever witnessed at a gig, it was breathtaking.
Glad I've seen Peter live a few times. He's an amazing guitar player and performer. I am going to see him on this last tour. I just realized that I saw this clip when it first aired. Crazy. Thanks for this Fil.
I wish they still had a tv program like this nowadays.
Hey Fil. Sorry I missed your last live stream . Really good video. I have not heard frampton in years. I should be used to it by now but it still blows my mind seeing you really enjoying old school music like this considering how young you are
I believe Fils an old soul if we could just get him out of the 80s
Yeah, that song was played to absolute death on the radio. But it was so magical with that talk box stuff. His choice of notes with that little hint of jazz in there at times. That live recording on Frampton Comes Alive is just amazing. He plays it pretty much the same but a little different in the solo sections. I got my fil of Fil now. HEHEHHE off to beddie bye.
🤘
OMG another brilliant performance by Peter Frampton!! Fil, you'd love his newly released memoir Do You Feel Like I Do?
Sadly, due to his degenerative illness which atrophies the muscles in his legs, arms and fingers, his playing days are numbered. Always remembered and treasured for the icon he is.❤️🙏
I was in high school at the time. True guitarists (and musicians) always appreciated his guitar playing, regardless of all the other stuff going on with him and his career. It's nice to see him get the appreciation he deserves.
Lines on my face on Frampton Comes Alive is his best playing
Such a stellar album. The harmony, the melody, the dedication to the live expression is fantastic. TY Fil for loving music and being a great performer and so totally educated about it all as well. Great video! 🤟
Who remembers the impromptu shouts of "Thank You!!" that echoed across school yards, stadiums, streets, etc. from kids all over America?
Have always loved Peter Frampton, but have never seen him live. Thoroughly enjoyed this video!! Thank you for a great analysis, Fil!!
Sally you have to see him this summer on his farewell tour. He has a nerve disease and has announced his retirement from touring. For a few more days Live Nation is doing their $20 ticket special for a lotta of artist including Peter. Get you some tix cheap.
He is a great player and human. A joy to see live.
Thanks for the info, Doug. I'll look into it.
Doug Davidson, I got tickets to see Peter Frampton in Aug. SUPER EXCITED!!!
@@sallynielsen8150 awesome to hear. You will have an wonderful time. I am seeing him in June in Nashville.
@@dougdavidson3260 great!! Thanks again for the update on his your. 🤘
I think everyone I know had Frampton Comes Alive. What an epic album. The album was full of great melodies, ballads, rockers, funk, and jams.
The age of the guitar jam. How I long for a return to those days.
Thank You Peter Frampton, for making my life richer as a musician
Saw him right about this time at Michigan State University. Great memories.
He is a gift from the rock gods. Thank you
Love the drumming on this track! The guy is all over the kit. Glad to see Peter Frampton getting some play...he really knows his way around the instrument...rarely looks down at his hands! 🎼✌🏻🎸
fil, thanks for the video and your comments, Peter and Bob Mayo were a Great team, May Bob R.I.P., He will be Greatly Missed, Cousin Figel
That guitar was burned in a plane crash and re-united to him 30 years later. He left all the burn marks and plays it again today.
Right on , Peter calls the Les Paul phoenix now , It was his Mojo
I heard that to. Also at The hieght of his career didn't he let some chic crush his heart like he couldn't get over it, spent his money, did his friends and so on.... She was hot but come on man. Yer Frampton it's 1975.......
Oh that is too cool. Didn't know that. Thanks for sharing.
I was lucky enough to see him at the Beacon Theater in NYC the first time he played it live after getting it back. He told the whole story. He always puts on a great show. For a while I'd see him in smaller venues when he was not selling out anymore. I am glad he is now getting the recognition he deserves. Tragic about his illness. But he is always positive and cheerful. He can play gypsy jazz too. Gotta love him!
I heard it was burned in a Freebase accident... lol
Was honored to see Peter Frampton live last month (Sept 24th, 2019) here in Albuquerque. He was Absolutely Phenomenal. It's so hard to believe that this was his farewell tour. One. Of. The. Best. Concerts. Ever !!
Didn't want the evening to end. Great evening and most memorable.
Hi from Australia. Thanks for critiquing Peter. He is my absolute favourite. Saw your previous Frampton video too. Great job Fil. Susan
😱 OMG, what a crush I had on him in the '70s! One of the top guitar 🎸 players of all time and he looked like an angel...
Peter said his career harmonically changed when he converted to the 3 humbucker Les Paul tone (a 1954 LP Custom modified). Peter pretty much was the pioneer of the 3 humbucker LP with a more diverse wiring scheme that gave him more flexibility. He had a master volume and tone for the Bridge and the neck together and then a master volume and tone for the middle pickup. Whereas stock Gibson wiring scheme had that middle humbucker was "live" all the time variable to the volume control.
Peter's rerouted wiring scheme:
Position 1 Option: Bridge with the alternative to blend in the middle or null.
Position 2 Option: Bridge and Neck with the alternative to blend in the middle or null
.
Position 3 Option: Neck with the alternative to blend in the middle or null.
Frampton was a huge part of our 70’s life. I miss those days of good rock and roll. Great analysis Fil! As always. ❤️🤘🏼
This song reminds me of summer, the beach & pot.The good old days.
Wow...does that ever bring back memories. The 70's had some amazing rock...imho.
Peter is a true artist musician love his work since my teenage years when this was released
Awesome Fil !! 👍 TY!! Frampton Comes Alive was one of the albums of the decade, . 70's.❤
Love it. I was dreamed I saw him in concert. That was a first. Rock n roll!💜✌️💚🌹😎✌️🎸
great Fil. Thanks for the entertainment Mr. Frampton. Saw ya Montclair St. University.
opening act New Riders Of The Purple Sage 75
I,too love the famous 1976 Frampton Comes Alive double album! Frampton is a great guitarist and has put out some wonderful music!!!! Sincerely,BobbyK
Every girls heart throb in the 70s. Haha. I for one. Also appreciated his music and was fascinated with the talk box😉
HaHa. I was thinking the same thing. Super cute.
Sara Heart Ooh yeah!!
Emily Liberty
Doris Dremstedt Peter Frampton was so fine!!!
I went to a Frampton "Comes Alive" concert to see the girls like you! Of course the music was pretty good too!
Yeah, the girl response to his legit guitar preeminence is why he got destroyed and isn’t in the hall of fame.
First of all, great shirt, lol. I can tell when you like a great guitar riff, your smile gets huge! Appreciate your music critiques
The Midnight Special was such a great way to see artists on TV every Friday night back in the day. The artists weren't always my taste, but overall outstanding show. Enjoyed In Concert and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert too, they were the same concept but more rock and roll! 🤘🏻
Watched this program going into my teen years, it was so much better than anything else of the time! Hadn’t thought of it in a long time, thanks for the video! Looking through the comments I see a lot long time travelers on the road of life, rock on folks!
This is the party music for sure. Frampton Comes Alive
Is the party album. Not much filler on that. Bob Mayo on keys Bob Mayo 😂
Thanks Fil yer The Man
🤘 ROCK
r i p Rob Mayo on the keyboards Rip Bob Mayo.
Gone too soon.
also don't realize the classic show me the way was Bob strumming away on that 12 string that drives that song.
one Google's of Bob Mayo you are pleasantly surprised what a great musician he really was and gone from us way too soon. great video love Pete sadly he has come to grips that he may not be able to play too much longer but the great thing about it is he's doing everything you can fill in as much time as you can I'm sure many have seen the interview from about earlier this year where he diagnosed what is had happened to him..
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist wow had no idea. Real sorry to hear that
@@mitchettie1581 yeah mm for 53 years old had a heart attack on tour in Switzerland..
Bob was a great New York guy jam with many people before Pete. plays with Hall and Oates for a while and a whole lot of others.
in fact it's quite a few videos were Bob's not playing the keyboards and he's playing the guitar.
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist that I didn't know either. I gotta tell you it really saddens me unusual kinda way. I'm from the Beaches of the Carolina's early mid fifties construction worker so growing up Pete and Bob and many others they were our induction to recorded live music. Well probably The Best live album that I know of. Feels like a piece missing . Wondering if your getting that too. Thanks so much for the info. Always heard that Pete with all the insane stardom he never felt like he got to really enjoy it.
When “Frampton Comes Alive” came out I purchased it right away. I love the album. I am 58 and I still have the album. I also saw him in concert in the early 2000’s and he was GREAT! He sounded the same. I am still a big fan. You also rock Fil!
Brilliant as always Fil, and I learnt a new word "extemporaneous", thank you! As a matter of interest, I wonder how much of what you cover is from each different decade? My music is 70's and seems a lot of what you cover is also 70's.
As a follow up to your Greta Van Fleet video of a month or so ago, my 15 year old daughter introduced me to them. I like them. I introduced her to Led Zeppelin and she has become a total fan and listens to nothing else now! In my post a month ago I wondered about the shelf life of Greta, if my daughter is anything to go by...not long.
I remember hearing this as a 15 year old brand new in 1975. I blew my mind, I loved the whole live album "Frampton Live". Thanks for your thoughts on Peter's rocking!
Love Frampton...and I believe most of the US fans were going to see his guitar playing (and the females were there for his looks too! 😉). I saw him down here in Florida in the 70s at what were called "Superbowls" because they were held in football stadiums & you had a lineup of THE most amazing bands on one ticket (I was very young, but had a brother who was 6 years older & he took his 8,9,10 year old little sister with him...those are memories that I will always cherish because I got to experience those bands & I was with my big brother who passed away in February about 30 minutes after I'd been there to see him. And he fought hard to stay because I've been fighting throat cancer the last 2 years & he so wanted to be here for me...sorry, guess that was TMI, just trying to explain why I treasure those times so much) and Frampton was great! But I did hear there was a concert maybe in the mid-west where Skynyrd went on first, and that Skynyrd blew him off the stage & the fans weren't happy. I'll have to see if I can track down what concert it was & the comments about it. And these were Frampton fans, who had gone to see him not Skynyrd, saying this. They said at least half the people left. Don't quote me on this...like I said, I'll try to track that info down.
And everyone don't shoot me for mentioning Skynyrd a lot...they're my fav, so I'm unashamedly biased! 🤣
Peter Frampton and his Do you feel like we do! A world classic and here in Cuba too!
That song I use to listen to frequently!
He was here once some years ago, didn´t sing but people next to him surely told him about that song and other like Show me the way and I´m in you.
Peter Frampton, one of the best guitarist of all times and everywhere.
Great selection close to my youngter´s life, Cuban of 61 years of age.
Greetings from Havana, Cuba.
I'm sure i watched this when it originally aired. The Midnight Special was a must see every Friday night. All the top bands of the 70's performed their current and past hits absolutely live, exactly how they wanted to do them. At school everyone would be talking about who was going to be on that night. I wish this form would come back, but sadly it seems unlikely to ever happen again.
Love Frampton... was my very first concert during the Frampton Comes Alive tour... a fabulous guitarist... thanks for the review
Over the years I have attended several of jazz guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli performances (I just saw him a couple of months ago with Ramsey Lewis). John tells the story that when he was in high school, he was in his bedroom learning some of the lead parts from "Frampton Comes Alive" when his father, the legendary jazz guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, stuck his head in the door and said, "if you can play that, you can play jazz!"
Wonderful story
Peter Frampton is so underrated, he always find a way to jam. He is always spot on on his solo!! Great clip Fil!!
thank you for this Fil. The Midnight Special was a godsend back in the day (as was Don Kirshner's Rock Concert). When you lived in a rural area of Australia and could not often see the bands (that really never toured here often enough anyway). That being said, this song and the album it came from "Frampton Comes Alive", is not just an pop album to me. I agree with you that he is so much more than a pop star. For people of my age, this song, album and artist it is a part of the fabric of our lives. This was played often and everywhere. Thank you so much for the analysis of his playing style. You are putting the correct terms in the places where our discussions of the music we listened to back as young teens which was (and probably still is) severely lacking. Love it and plenty more to come, Thanks again :)
Oh and more Rory Gallagher and Taste if you can :)
Thanks!
Saw him in Atlanta when I was 16, '75. Awesome concert! Brings back lots of memories.
Peter Frampton shot to stardom so fast it made the rock world's head spin.
And went down so fast it made his spin. 😂
Not really as he was in The Herd as a teen and then Humble Pie. This was followed by several solo albums before the live album.
He just seemed like an overnight success.
@@dougdavidson3260 I know he was in Humble Pie did a lot of work on the way to stardom but I am talking about when he gained instant attention with Frampton Comes Alive, which put him on the cover of the Rolling Stone.
@@wandajames143 Well at least he's still alive and kicking and did not overdose.
@@wandajames143 And you're a dipshit. At least he's way more successful than you.
This was such a great show that had awesome guests. So happy that this is available for me to watch any time I like. This is 1 of a handful of Midnight Special videos that I watch frequently. Frampton Comes Alive was a must have album.
He hasn’t lost a step. Saw him last night. Same guitar and same drum kit that he recovered off eBay. Amazing musicians and songs on his Finale tour.
Fil does amazing content. No swearing, constructive, very positive, informed and informative , enthusiastic and entertaining. I now realise I'll probably hear soneone who's great who I'd not listened to before!
The Midnight Special is a Gold mine of bands in the 70's. Along with Don Kershner's Rock Concert and Soul Train. Prior to Music Videos. As a teen. This was Heaven. On Monday morning at school. Everybody was Did you see Frampton or Cheep Trick on tv ?. Fil this was when these guys were at the top of their Drug induced alcohol fueled best.
I know you do mostly Guitar analysis. But can do a video of a great performer ?. Please do The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis.
Rock on !.
Although the performers on Soul Train had to lip sync their vocals. MS and the DKRC were performed live.
2022: Beautiful. Peter has always been Wonderful. Great guitar work and vocals. Great Band tooo. Good mix by the network. I watched Midnight Special every week. Also, love the "Acoustic" bass amp. One of the best ever made with an 18" speaker. They made great amps. Thanks for this excellent review, as always.
I was to young to watch The Midnight Special, but in the last cpl of yrs I have picked up 2 DVD sets of the show & wish that I had been able to watch it when it aired.
As far as I can tell Peter used the talk box more than any other artist.
Ed Ford don’t forget Joe Walsh ... Rocky Mountain Way
@@masonj0627
Oh yeah forgot about that song. Other that that tho, I think that Peter used it the most.
