Nice take on it Russel, you nailed it. Class of 78" here. I went to a concert on this tour. Day on the Green, 1977 Oakland Ca. Kids came in from all over the Bay Area, the crowd was huge. Everyone was in a happy, fun mood. It was an even mix of guys and girls. Everyone was into Frampton. We were packed so tightly up front, we could barely breath. Just a ton of sun, pot smoke, long hair on everyone and halter tops. I remember Peter talking a lot in between songs. For so many cities, this was easily the event of 1977.

Is it any wonder that this is one of the best selling albums of all time? EVERYONE had this album back in the day, and this song just puts you right in the middle of being there at the concert.

The strange noises you could hear was a voice box that's attached to the mic that runs straight down into is electric guitar. So he basically could play is voice through the guitar.

@s.mcpherson6354

Doesn't that description have the danger of making it sound electronic when it's not? The guitar is plugged into the Talk Box like an amp. Except instead of amplifying the sound wave and then transmitting it out as a pulse from a large speaker for all of us to hear, it only amplifies it a bit and then sends it as a tiny set of pulses down the hollow plastic tube that leads to his mouth. As he plays, the guitar sounds then emerge from the tube in his mouth just as the vibrations from our own vocal chords move into our mouths to be shaped by our lips and tongue into words or other sounds. So the sound wave from the tube replaces the airflow from our throat and vocal chords. After that, the mic picks it up just like it's his voice.

That not how that works. The talk box is a small low powered amp and a small speaker in a box. When you turn it on, it mutes the guitar signal going to your main amp. the sound from little speaker in the box is funneled into a long clear plastic tube, which is taped or zip tied or what ever to the mic. You put the end of it in your mouth, and attempt to form words while playing notes, (it ain't easy) and its picked up by the microphone. Before the talk box, there was "the bag", same exact thing, but in a bag slung over your shoulder. Stevie wonder had one of the first ones, Jeff beck got one shortly after.

It's like the guitar is just an extension of his body. It's so fun to watch him play and see how how much he gets into his music.

I still have this album in vinyl in my collection because I'm that old. I danced around my bedroom with this album playing on the stereo, blasting, back in the 1970s as a teenager. We were so lucky back then to have such great music every day, on the radio, playing long tracks. It was a golden time.

You both have to react to the live performance to see how incredible this performance really is with his guitar playing and using the talk box through his guitar when it’s mostly used with a keyboard, this is 76 with no computer even thought of back in those days to generate the sound. His pure love of what he does shows through the live performances. Baby I love your way, is another one of his songs and you got to do live to see his joy and the love everyone has for him and his music. He is in top ten of guitar players Rolling Stones Magazine. Much love to you both!❤️

There’s that smile we all look forward to.

I saw Peter do this song at the L.A. Forum in 1977. Frampton played a guitar solo, then a piano solo, then a drum solo in the same song… a 30 minute version of this song….AMAZING

Hey Brother, I was at this concert..!! Winterland in San Francisco..! I won tickets from a radio give a way ( KYA in San Francisco )

Hard to explain to young people just how epic these concerts were back in the 70's and 80's. And these monster artists were playing concerts here virtually every weekend. I think the last Day on the Green I attended in the 80's was pretty expensive though; if I remember correctly it was $16! So glad I grew up in this era!

I was blessed to have grown up listening to Peter Frampton!!! This is a freaking CLASSIC! Love the talk box! More songs from Peter: Baby I Love Your Way I’m In You Show Me The Way It’s A Plain Shame Doobie Wah LadyGator1983🐊🐊🐊

So glad you did the live version of this ❤️ there's a performance of this from the midnight special but this version is the best ✌️

When arguably a few of the best recording studio musicians of that era get together and jam, magic happens.

Totally reminds me of being 11 years old and my parents brought this record home and played it over and over. I saw him on his farewell tour a few years back. was so much fun.

I use to come home from school in 1976 in 7th grade and put this 8 track in the player and listen to this song 10x. Parents were still at work so I made sure the neighbors could hear it. Didn't get any homework done.

Back in the day everyone had this album. His live songs were all over the radio.

Y’all should see him perform this. There is a Midnight Special video where he performs this song. One of the first people to use the “Talk Box “ with the guitar. Rated as one of the best guitarist ever!

This album was standard-issue kit to every teenager back then. I remember hearing it EVERYWHERE ! ;-)

Now you know the musical genius of Frampton and why this is one greatest live performances!

Thank you for using the original live recording and not that live video other reaction channels have used. This is the one we all loved back then! Iconic album. You're right on the money, we all envisioned being at this concert years before music videos ever came out.

Oh guys you need to see him live to get the thrill of Peter …… still in love with Frampton . Was lucky too see him live once ….. oh watch him live guys pleasssse

Peter was really good!

When I was very young in the 80s my mom would let me listen to one side of any record at bed time.. I always chose frampton comes alive. I love the whole thing it's so good from start to end. Years later I got the opportunity to see him live it was a great show.

This song has so much greatness! Bob Mayo was always amazing on the keyboards! His harmonizing with Peter adds so much to this song.

Peter Frampton is one of the greatest guitar players ever!!

There is lots of video of him ( at that age) doing the song.. you can see what he does to get that sound.. if you want to do one more.. Do Frampton’a “Lines on My Face”

Frampton was The Master of the voice box! So much energy in this song, and so many of his others.

This album came out during my junior year of high school and everyone went out and bought it (I think I still have mine). I was fortunate enough to see Frampton play a few times with Ringo's All-Star Band. Ringo Starr (Beatles) has done many tours where he had several other top-tier musicians playing with him including Peter Frampton and Michael McDonald. The cool thing was that they would play Ringo's hits like, "It Don't Come Easy", "Photograph" and "Act Naturally" but they also did the guest players' hits like this song for example. It was very cool.

These were stadium concerts with 50 to 80 thousand people. It can't really be described. Just one of those things you need to experience.

That was a good reaction brother man and sister this band rocked our socks January of 76 if i close my eyes im at my friends house and we in his very smokey room, we couldn't stop listening to this album and it's only intention was to make you roll one up close your eyes and fall right into the music, in my opinion this album and bostons first are definitely in the top 10 albums of all time and for me possibly top two and as i said just as we're coming into the fall of New England here comes Boston,oh its going to be a great winta lots of jibber's lots of red choking hash under a glass great reaction you guys love this album still one of my favorites God-bless keep spreading the music❤

Before Frampton made it big with this album…..he played with Humble Pie…and before that he was one of the best session guitarist around….you spent your 14 minutes with the greatness of someone called Frampton….and he is still alive….

"If ever there was a musician who was an honorary member of San Francisco society... Mr. Peter Frampton!" You geezers get it.

The story behind this double live LP is one for the ages. I was 17 when it came out. It was the first time I, or basically anyone I knew had heard of him. It instantly became one of the go to records whenever we would get together. Amazing times..

"Frampton comes alive", was the biggest selling album in 1976. And one of the biggest selling albums ever. I had the 8-track and then the cassette. Then of course, the CD. Still got it. Keep up the great job you two!

Watch him perform this Live!! He was ( and still is ) Awesome!! I don't think I knew anyone that didn't have this album!!

Great reaction. I had never been a fan of Live albums till this one came out. I saw him when he was playing with Humble Pie.

So many comments on here telling you to watch this video. It's no lie! Go watch it, either here on the channel or privately. The effect he creates with the voice box has to be seen to be believed. Which is why the crowd begins to hoop and holler, because they see what's coming. Worth watching for sure. Great channel you have here by the way.

The Hiel talk box, using an air tube, electronic signal from the mic and guitar simultaneously, produces that sound. It was also the beginning of the tech used in the pitch correct pedal designed in 1979 allowing singers who could not sing in tune, to have their tone match the band, no matter what they sang into the mic. It was a precursor to auto tune. You notice as soon as tech evolved to allow people to cheat, MTV sprung up.

EXCELLENT choice!!!! It's long, but it's an immersive jam that never gets old; I could listen to this every. single. day. I'm 54 and was fortunate to grow up with young parents who had this live album; grew up with SO much great music. Love how you both felt it and smiled!! Keeping the music alive 😊

Everybody had this album on their turntable in 1976, got heavy play on the FM stations. It was huge! This is one track you might like to watch a live performance of. Others at the time had used the talk box (Joe Walsh on 'Rocky Mountain Way" for example); but Frampton was a master at it. That's one reason the crowd was so stoked.

Timeless. Truly a golden age for music. I still have the album. Thanks for reacting. Subscribed.

Epic Frampton! Y'all did the right version 🎧 💓 🎶

Frampton Alive was one of the best live albums out. He uses the squeak box to make his guitar talk. The same way Joe Walsh is known for it and on the R&B side Roger Troutman of Parliament Funkadelic.

The whole album is worth listening to from start to finish.

this album rocked my world! i was 12 years old and it was everything to me!

I graduated in 79. I grew up with all this stuff and 6670s. Glad you’re finally getting to hear it.

Best Voice Box, Guitar Solo EVER. 😁❤🤘🎸

I was 8 when I heard this song for the first time. I'm not exaggerating to say it slapped me upside the head and changed my life. It gave me a life long love for live performance. Up until this song, I'd never experienced the magic of a live performance with the audience participation. I totally relate to what you said about being able to envision being there. I was transported every time I heard this song. In that same vein, have you reacted to Elton John's Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding? If not, please react to the studio version, remastered if possible. It's 11 minutes and change and worth every second. A true masterpiece.

BY FAR, the greatest LIVE album EVER made!!!

Yep yep I was in junior high school back in that day. And he was all of it back then saw him in the 70s 80s and 90s but back in the seventies he was on fire

Thanks Recklezz for a cool Friday evening chill. This performance transcends generations. Do you feel...

Singing with his guitar on the talk box was what made this song sooo cool!! Underrated range vocally.

Wanna see an unrivalled keyboard performance, Nightwish-greatest show on earth

four man band, Bass, Drums, Keyboards and FRAMPTON PLAYING ONE GUITAR!!!!!!

Love seeing your smiles on this one. I don't know how many times I played this album. I worn it out. Then I got it on CD and wore that out.

I've seen Peter Frampton LIVE 4 different times in 3 decades. He is ALWAYS on fire like that album cut. Thanks for doing this version man awesome!

Such a blast to see these kids so into the music I grew up with. I found this same vinyl album at a junk bazar and bought it for my seventeen year old daughter, and she absolutely loves it. Never heard of Frampton till the moment I gave her the record. Music as a generational bridge. Awesome.

This is the only version that should be reacted to. Such an amazing song!

Graduated high school at 17 in June 1973. Did not know anyone who did not own this on vinyl when it ruled the air waves. Talk about a period for music. We've seen a lot of different genres but the 70s tops anything that has come along since.

Frampton was one of the masters with the talk box along with Joe Walsh and a few others!! I was 15 when this came out. The entire album is priceless!!

Props for playing the version I grew up with. Bought it when it came out. Still have the lp. This was back when music had a lot of freedom. Miss those days.
