Right after the talkbox part where he sings "Wellllll" and the band comes in full is one of the best moments in recorded rock history. Gives me goosebumps it's so good. And I think Bob Mayo's keyboard solo is hands down is one of the greatest keyboard solos of all time.

Today I saw your reaction for the first time. Enjoined immensly your inteligent comments and also I had immediatly certain that you've got a good back ground on classic music: I saw reaction to Shine on You Crazy Diamond and Do You Feel Like We Do. I'm 56 years old and a rock lover all my life. However, as my father had a music (pianno) degree, I grow up listening my father playing Chopin, Mozart, Bach, and also had pianno lessons. I simply love music, all kind but it has to be good. Well composed, produced, performed and, since 1998, above all, without computers and autotune. Sorry for all this long comment but I just want to congratulate for your accurate information, your sensibility to rock being a classic professional. Both reactions were, to me, a pleasure to hear and, in Peter Frampton's reaction, your hands in the pianno, loved it. Thanking again for showing that, when we hear music with quality, its gender dosen't matter at all. So sorry for my miserable english and greatings from Portugal

Fun Facts: Frampton's father, Owen, was the art teacher at his high school. Owen also taught a boy there, a couple years older than Peter, known then as David Jones (and later as David Bowie). Owen was an important early influence for Bowie. In 1987, Peter played on Bowie's album "Never Let Me Down" and played on the Glass Spider tour.

I'm fortunate to have seen Bowie with Frampton on that Glass Spider tour. One of the most memorable concerts I've seen.

This song is the very definition of the mid/late seventies, for me; "...must have been a dream, I don't believe where I've been. Come on! Let's do it again!"

Frampton's guitar phrasing is so different from many others. Sings amazing. Seen him twice. And from all I've seen, just a really nice human being. Never seen anyone have as much fun on stage as he.

Yes, though Frampton loved Clapton/Cream and all the rest of the pentatonic dominant blues influenced players coming out Britain, but because he could see that would be the popular trend, he made a conscious effort early on to be different. Therefore, he turned to more jazz based blues players, such as Django, who his dad turned him on to, which led to others, like Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Kenny Burrell and non-guitarists such as Miles Davis. A mix of jazz, blues and rock. That combination inspired Frampton to create a unique style in which he often plays around the melody rather than hitting it straight on.

Bob Mayo’s solo (rumored overdub or not) is perhaps the only example of advanced jazz blues playing of any hit song . Outstanding!

"Lines On My Face" is a must from this album. I was in sixth grade when I bought this album with my allowance money at the ol' TG&Y Dime Store. '76 was the Bicentennial year and so much great music was coming out in rock, funk, you name it! Seeing the adults and older kids partying like there was no tomorrow set the tone for what was to come for me and most kids I knew. It's just how it was. That 70's show in real life. Not always that funny, but oh so real. The whole album is killer there just isn't a bad cut on it. The sound track to coming of age...well at least starting to:)

This is truly a beautiful piece of music brother Doug...Ty for sharing this

It’s a dreadful shame that Peter is now suffering from a muscle wasting illness that is severely impacting his ability to play his guitar in the style he would like. He is now undertaking his final live tour (unless things improve for him). He has to sit down whilst performing as he can’t be sure he won’t fall over whilst playing. I’m just glad I got to see him in his heyday, but equally impressed that he’s still trying to make music.

Your reaction to this song was the reason I watch these type of videos. Thank you. Love your channel.

Umm, has everyone forgotten Allman Brothers Live At the Fillmore? I don't know if it reached #1 on any chart, but it's iconic and still my favorite live album EVER!

Frampton's guitar solos in this tune are excellent! Bob Mayo was a damn good keyboard player. One of the great double albums of all time!

Big Frampton fan here. He was a big thing when I was in high school. I love Frampton's phrasing when he solos! Sophisticated lines. But always melodic & in the pocket.

About 20 years ago, when Circuit City was still open here...I committed retail mischief. Do You Feel Like We Do was playing on the local rock station, being broadcast on one of the display stereos. I went along the shelf and turned them all on and tuned them to the station, then cranked them all up. Didn't get kicked out... and to their credit they let it play. A fun memory for me. 😁✌️🎸🎹

Just the fact that this song inspires you to play along says it all. Absolutely hands down one of the top three songs of the rock and roll era. They didn't chop produce this, the songs were all a live take for the album. Unfortunately, Peter, until late, was never able to rebound off this success. It was, so to speak, his best achievement that could not be followed up. I agree, its hard to follow up perfection.

I was 12 years old when this album came out. I was just floored. I begged my parents to buy it for me. I frantically peeled off the wrapping and put it on the turntable and played it from start to finish. It is one the few live albums that truly captures the energy and feeling of a artist at the top of their game. The band was such an amazing line up, you can hear how in sync they are together and that only comes from spending the time together. For me, this is the greatest live album of all time.

I get the feeling that Doug will be listening to this song again on his own time. Also. They would play this live version on my local radio station all the time back in the day.

Just want you to know how much I absolutely enjoyed this video. Thanks for more great content as always.

Doug, the keyboardist was the late, great Bob Mayo, not "Bob May". His stellar Fender Rhodes electric piano work on this album was a huge influence on my playing and led to me plunking down some serious coin on a new Rhodes in 1979, which I still own. Bob's playing is sublime.

The ability of the rhythm section to just stay in that pocket and keep pace for almost 8 min always amazes me.

This is my favorite live performance of any band, ever. This song in particular is a magical voyage that Peter and the band take us on with the audience. The audience is a part of the song, responding to his cues. Absolute perfection.

This album epitomises the 70’s for me, played it to death at the time, a classic!

1976 was a great year for rock music. Aerosmith, AC/DC, ZZ Top, The Eagles, Bob Seger and many more. During my senior year in high school I had a lot of those on 8-track back then including this one. There's a great live version from the Midnight Special in '76 on KZread for your viewing pleasure.

A very underrated guitarist. Love the guitar tone. Sad to hear he has had to stop touring.

I met him once. Quite the gentleman. Quite the guitarist.

Met Frampton at my work several years ago and talked for a bit. For the record, Peter is a SUPER NICE GUY. …just wanted put that out there… tx

A great voice box song. A favorite of mine from Peter Frampton.

There is quite a story around the guitar Frampton has on the album cover and was using at the time. To put in short, the band's gear was in a freight plane when it crashed and burned. Frampton was sure the guitar went up in smoke. but actually it did survive with some scorches. He eventually got it back after many years. There is a video available about it.

You reading a skillshare mid roll ad brings a tear to my eye 🥲 so happy to see you keep growing, Doug!!

For those who don't know how a Talkbox works: it's an effect pedal with a long rubber tube. Activating the pedal turns off the signal to your amp and into a speaker at the end of the tube. You run the tube up your microphone stand so that when the tube is in your mouth, you use your mouth as a resonance chamber for your guitar. It's as much a vocal effect as it is a guitar effect.

Rick Beato recently posted a video that claims songs like this will not be made in the near future because the music industry has ceased making songs with a key change-let alone multiple ones!

i first heard this when i came out, still give me goosebumps now. one of the best rock songs of all time. i lucked out one night and got to mix monitors for him. total dream come true. Frampton is awesome.

I grew up listening to a lot of music and picked up the guitar pretty young but i distinctly remember listening to this song with my dad when i was around 10 (i'm 29 as of writing this) and it was the moment i realized i actually live for music, it is with music that i've felt the best feelings i've ever felt. Our own impact on the universe, something that wouldn't exist if we weren't a thing, and it moves us in ways no one can describe but everyone understands.. Man i just love Music!!

Doug, you grasped the concept of this song... I loved your keyboard overplay. I've been listening to this album for decades, and it would be worth your time.

So many memories. Thanks!😍

I have to say, I got a little teary when you were jamming with Frampton. This was my first true rock album growing up, and I just loved the positive energy. Kudos to the sound engineers and the producer for capturing such a perfect event, and yay to Frampton…… awesome!!

I saw Frampton at Madison Square Garden as my first concert at 14. It was amazing!! Left a huge impression on me. Lines on my Face, is one of my favorites of his songs.

I was in the same category -- Frampton was the guy that the kids I didn't like liked, back in the day. When "Frampton Comes Alive" dominated the airwaves in high school, I was not happy. It wasn't until many years later that I came to understand what a genius and talent he was.

One of my best loved music. Thank you Doug and Peter, I'll put on and play my vinyl right now.

This was from back when you would put on a record and listen to a whole side. At a party, no one would cut this off part way through.

Takes me right back to my senior year of high school. We loved this song, especially the explosive ending. Cruising around with my friends, we’d instantly crank when this came on.

Awesome, I had the privilege of living 4 houses down from John Siomos the drummer for Peter Frampton, from 1975 to 1979 have 2 broken cymbals of his. Got watch him all the time and even was able to play his kit. He was a great drummer.

Interesting story. The guitar on the cover photo ,his favorite was lost in a plane crash in the south American jungle during the eighties ,he always missed playing it . Around 2000 some American back packers saw a guy playing it in some small community ,so the purchased it brought it back ,restored it .then contacted his management and presented it back to him after 2 decades !!! There may be footage of its emotional return to peter

Such a great song! I always use to have the jukebox play this while I was playing darts on a team. My entire team groaned when it came on because of its length and that it came from me. lol

@Doug Helvering Wikipedia has a great entry regarding the Talk Box. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_box ). Built by the legendary Bob Heil, who previously designed sound equipment for The Who, Grateful Dead, Chaka Kahn, Barnstorm (Joe Walsh), the Eagles, and Humble Pie. One of the rear speaker cabinets and part of the mixing console used during The Who's "Quadraphenia Tour" is now displayed in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!

Thanks Doug, I've listened to Frampton Comes Alive for decades on vinyl, and on CD for a high volume blast in the car whilst commuting across the UK's roads. I really enjoyed your appreciation and your musical knowledge, Frampton underrated all round. Cheers.

The way the talk box works is so simple, and yet, so awesome. A small speaker is on the end of the tube that he puts in his mouth. So the guitar sound is actually playing into his mouth, and then a microphone is used to pick up the sound from inside his mouth. As opposed to a vocoder, which modulates the sound without actually playing it inside the mouth.

Epic reaction! Doug, I've been watching your reaction videos since the pandemics started, something like almost 3 years now, but I think I never reacted so deeply by your thoughts about a song like this one! It gave me joy to hear you jamming in pleasure while swinging through the wave of the groove produced by Peter, Bob's keyboard and the whole band! There's a chemistry there that can't be denied, and it was a pleasure for me to enjoy this with you now! I can say that tears of joy and ecstasy about this masterpiece and your reactions were dropped here lol Thank you for sharing with us such amazing and true experience!

I first saw Peter Frampton play in 2010. Didn't know any of his songs except Baby I Love Your Way. He was opening for America and Chicago. I was there to see Chicago and they were great, but I was really impressed with Frampton and thought he was the highlight of the night. Excellent showmanship and really fun to listen to. Years later I finally got around to listening to Frampton Comes Alive and realised he'd always been that good. Sounded just as great in 1976 as he did 34 years later.

Even after first purchasing the Frampton Comes Alive double album in 1976 , i can honestly say that this song and the guitar work in particular ,some 48 years later still gives me goosebumps ! What a brilliant Band too ....how Bassist Stanley Sheldon manages to keep up with Peter Frampton 's incredible guitar work was monumental in its being ?

Rhodes and 1970s organs etc: I picked up a Roland VR09 - it has gorgeous vintage instrument patches, drawbars, and a leslie too. So much damn fun if you're in the market. The piano fills you were adding near the end gave the passage some meat, very nice. Yes, "I want to *thank you" lol

Saw Peter back in 2010; Orange Beach, AL. He played this track for 22 mins! Awesome. And he opened for Steve Miller Band, epic night!

Listen to 'The Lodger' and research the history behind the song. Saw him live at his Farewell Tour in the Royal albert Hall last Nov. Amazing!

A true classic! Time doesn't dull the song, it's still timely. You were wondering about a talk box. The one I have has a heavy magnet speaker built inside a metal box with a switch to swap it from amp speaker to talk box speaker, and a hole in the top of it for the clear tygon (plastic) tubing which runs up to the mic. The guitar notes are funneled up the plastic tube into a mouth which is singing into the microphone. You don't sing with a talkbox, you just mouth the words. It's really a simple process. Joe Walsh has used one for years (now that I think about it, so have I. Sheesh! I hate getting old). Greg in TN 😀

Great breakdown, Doug. I grew up during this era. Yes, validation but also having no regret as he says, "Let's do it again."

I've seen him in concert 3 times and got to meet him twice. Such a humble guy and so talented

I FEEL IT!!!!!!! Love you Doug!!!! : )

We used to sit up in the mountains above Los Angeles, looking down on the millions of lights listening to this very loud. Oh those 70's high school years were the best.

Love the chords progression analysis

Seen them August 30, 1976, SLC, UT on the Frampton Comes Alive tour. Great concert to attend when I was in high school.

This is such a well written, well preformed, and well recorded song. Love it!!! I always thought the "talk-box" effect was some complicated electronic jiggery-pokery, but it's just a box, a speaker, and a tube. I was floored when I found this out.

I was one of the people lucky enough to be at the show at winterland in San Francisco where he recorded part of the album it was an outstanding show.

I absolutely love the concept of the talk box. If you really dig the solo here, you’ll love the solo Adam Jones does on Jambi.

Perfect sunny day driving song if there ever was one. Thanks for the review @Doug Helvering.

Maestro Doug! A 1 time ,live experience. I think it can't be repeated. Once in a lifetime.( i don't think the band could have done it either) One of the best captured live performance! IMHO

Frampton Comes Alive was so successful, it literally changed the music industry.

after a couple of bottles of wine around 11 o'clock turn volume up to 11 and let my neighbours that this of one of the greatest ever written brings back memories of being at the Sydney Myer Music Bowl

The crowd response after that bombastic last note sends chill down my spine every time

great doug!

This was easily one of the most listened to song when sitting around with close friends sharing some doobage. It was relaxing and the voice box part would always blow one's mind.

This cut of this show or one quite similar is available on YT as a concert video. Aside from being able to watch as he employs the talk box, you're able to get a look at how much FUN PF had while performing this piece. Worth checking out for the view. Thanks for choosing this and really, really thanks for your obvious love of music -

I saw him do a free outdoor show at the old Yucatan Liquor Stand in Houston in the early 90's, long after the hype years. He was every bit the Frampton you'd hope for - humble, charming, and blew everyone away with his tasteful, astonishing playing. Even at a free bar show, he gave it his all! I came away a greater fan.

Saw him at the Boathouse in Norfolk Va in 96. Held only about 400 people. Hell of a show. Bucket list concert to see.

A wonderful rock song and an integral part of an all time classic album. A tight band providing an ideal backing to Peter's iconic guitar playing and his, as you say, underrated vocals. It would be interesting to see a reaction to the whole album!
