Frampton Comes Alive!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frampton Comes Alive! is a double live album by English rock musician Peter Frampton released in 1976, and one of the best-selling live albums in the United States. Following four solo albums with little commercial success, Frampton Comes Alive! was a breakthrough for the artist.
Released on January 6, 1976, it debuted on the charts at 191. The album reached number one on the Billboard 200 the week ending April 10, 1976, and was in the top spot for a total of 10 weeks. It was the best-selling album of 1976, selling over 6 million copies in the US and becoming one of the best-selling live albums to date, with estimated sales of 11 million worldwide.[1]
Frampton Comes Alive! was voted "Album of the year" in the 1976 Rolling Stone readers poll. It stayed on the chart for 97 weeks and was still No. 14 on Billboard's 1977 year-end album chart.
The most recognisable songs from the album are "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way", and "Do You Feel Like We Do", all of which were released as singles, and continue to receive much airplay on classic rock radio stations.
In January 2001, a 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of the album was released, containing four additional tracks that were not included on the original version (although one of these was recorded in a radio studio as part of a broadcast, and does not form part of the main concert programme). The track sequence is also significantly different, to more accurately reflect the set list used in the original concerts. Frampton produced the completely remixed and extended album, and played an impromptu live performance with the original band from the album at Tower Records in Los Angeles to help promote the release.
Background and recording
The album was recorded in summer and fall 1975, primarily at Winterland in San Francisco and the Long Island Arena in Commack, New York, as well as a concert on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus in Plattsburgh, New York. The Winterland recordings were recorded on a 24 track master recorder. Other concerts were recorded on a 16 track recorder. Recordings from four different shows were used for the original album. Master tapes were recorded at 15 inches per second using professional Dolby "A" noise reduction.[2]
The live album was originally intended as 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. On the special features for the "Live in Detroit" concert DVD, Frampton commented that some difficulty was encountered in the mixing after the cord to the bass drum mic got pulled, accidentally causing the mic to face at a 90-degree angle from the drum head. During the concerts, Frampton principally used a distinctive black custom Gibson Les Paul electric guitar (with three humbucking pick-ups as opposed to the usual two).[3]
The double album was released in the US with a special reduced list price of $7.98, only $1.00 more than the standard $6.98 of most single-disc albums in 1976. The album was pressed in "automatic sequence", with sides one and four on one record, followed by sides two and three on the other. This arrangement was intended to make it easier to listen through the whole album in sequence on automatic record changers.
Three hit singles were released from the album: "Baby, I Love Your Way", "Do You Feel Like We Do" and "Show Me the Way". The talk box guitar effect became strongly associated with Frampton when it was heard on the latter two singles. The "Do You Feel Like We Do" single version was edited to 7:19 from the 14:15 album version. But even at just over 7 minutes, it is about twice the length of the average hit single and one of the longest ever to make the top 40 (even The Beatles' "Hey Jude" ran 7:11). Ironically, the B-side of "Do You Feel Like We Do", the acoustic instrumental "Penny for Your Thoughts", was the shortest song on Frampton Comes Alive at just 1:23.
Ping
I was in high school. People used to carry the album around with them.
I never understood the appeal of Frampton.
The girls loved him, so I guess a lot of guys went along with it just to get lucky.
Thats what one fella told me anyway.
Some friends and I saw him in concert on that tour, at RFK Stadium in the fall of 1975. Triple bill with Yes and Gary Wright.
I was in HS too and wore the 8 track out in my 70 Nova SS. Frampton, Reo Speedwagon live and Ted Nugent were my top 3 Faves. But Dark side of the moon was a go to for my girlfriend and back seat yoga.
It’s a wonder I still have brain cells left.
My late wife loved Frampton. He called her once at the record store she worked at to shoot the breeze.
I played Not Forgotten at her funeral. Not the biggest fan, but this song holds a place in my heart.
What do you do when you love?
There’s no tomorrow
Hold hands, sing songs,
Live life til you’re gone
But not forgotten
This album was standard issue in the suburbs. You were not permitted to be a teenager without it...
Vastly overhyped and overrated. Dropped from the top real quick too. His music was mostly mediocre fluff. He was a pretty boy who attracted a lot of females and rode the wave while it lasted. Alas, for Frampton it was a very short ride.
I used the program Audacity to separate the two tracks by about 3/10s of a second on “Do you feel like we do”. Pretty good sound.
He should have stayed with Humble Pie.
He dropped like a stone.
Unfortunately the music hung around.
When I heard he was having a comeback tour I seriously considered seppuku.
Thankfully his comeback was shorter lived than his career.
I think a Simpsons appearance was as good as it got.
Proof that there is a benevolent God.
Played 24/7 on my dorm floor in college.
Most people don’t know this, but for years he lived in a house directly across the street from Neal Armstrong in the Cincinnati enclave of Indian Hill. Can you imagine the block parties up there on Ivy Farm Road?
Looks like I missed a piece of history. Zappa was...Zappa...
Do you feel like we do, a classic “long” song. Like Funeral for a friend, Freebird, Light my Fire, In a gadda davida, etc. I played it a lot. We hope you have a good night, good night, good night, good night........
