Frampton hardly gets the praise he deserved. He’s one of my top five just based on his live performances. Just Fire.

That’s a talk box that’s connected to his guitar through a tube which alters the sound of the guitar by the way he moves his mouth. And yes it’s freaking awesome!

Thanks for mentioning that. I feel like it should be obvious what's going on, especially given how the video production overlays his picking hand with his vocalization. But then I knew what this was back in the day so I'm biased. The important thing is appreciation for the performance.

I talked my mom into letting me go to his concert in ‘77-78. EVERYONE had Frampton Comes Alive. Saw him again 40 yrs later and he was fantastic. Still 😍 but with less hair.

This song put Frampton in the limelight and was in a way, his downfall cause he could never duplicate it's success. Still you can't deny the man's musical talent. He was a superstar in his day. Everyone I knew had the Frampton Comes Alive album. And the Midnight Special was the best thing on TV back then. Loved it when Wolfman Jack hosted it.

Eh, perhaps. He did have a real downfall. The Sgt. Peppers movie was terrible for him. The album after this sucked (with the single "I'm in you") But he was redeemed. And you know who did it? Because he went to school with his older brother? David Motherfucking Bowie. Glass Spider tour.

No Down Fall.... Amazing guitarist. He was amazing when I saw him in the 70's. And even better in 2010. He is amazing and so is his son.

A TalkBox isn't any kind of synthesizer. It's entirely analogue. Instead of his guitar playing out of an amp, the TalkBox is like a mini-amp that sends the sound wave down that tube you saw him put in his mouth. The guitar sounds come out of that, and he shapes them with his mouth, just like he does with the vibrations from his vocal chords. And guitar face is very much like sex face. On any instrument, if you're *really* into it, your face matches how you feel, and you could care less how it looks.

He and David Bowie attended the same school..Frampton's father was Bowie's Art teacher..Bowie was 3 yrs. older, but Frampton was in a band at 12 (The Little Ravens), and Bowie was in his band (George and the Dragons) and they would spend lunch breaks together playing Buddy Holly songs..Bowie's real name was David Jones, but there was already an English bloke with the same name in a little band called The Monkees, so he changed it to Bowie.

In my humble opinion, Frampton is one of the top ten guitarist of all time by far.... very underrated.

He was a teenage heartthrob in the band Herd then joined Steve Marriott to form Humble Pie. After five albums he left the Pie to go solo. A very storied career.

Lots of us had a crush on Peter Frampton, even if we didn't know it...

His father was a music teacher one of his students was David Bowie. Back in the Guitar years 60’s and 70’s Frampton was one of the very best. He did had success with a band called Humble Pie early on.

Yes, we're here to go on your journey with you, hearing music you've never heard of before. That's the whole point! It's very fun for us who've known this music since it came out. Keep it going!

Peter Frampton was not only a legendary guitarist but a huge hitmaker for a few years. His double album "Frampton Comes Alive" was on the charts for a long time. He sounds even better live than on his studio albums. Try "Show Me The Way" for another hit he had.

This was so fun! Glad you're discovering Peter Frampton. "Frampton Comes Alive" is one of the best live albums ever. Treat yourself and check it out. It's pure pleasure.

That part was sick

this is the era of true talent,no auto tune or computer corrected songs it was one heck of a party every where you went in the seventy's, cause in the 1970's great music was all over the world!!!!!

As a teenager in the 70’s being invited to a weekend party at someone’s house was the ultimate. I had just started in band as a drummer and it got around that I was cool so I was invited to one. I was 12! My younger sister listened to Shaun Cassidy, teen girls listened to Fleetwood Mac and Frampton. I remember a 14 year old Marsha Brady look alike girl named Claire who gave me my first great kiss when this song was on the turntable. Burned into my mind and makes me smile 47 years later. I still love Claire.

Frampton...incredible musician...saw him a couple years ago and still musical perfection!!! Love him

Saw him in the 70’s …till this day one of the best shows I’ve ever seen

Don’t ever apologize for not knowing something- we all have different life experiences and influences. Celebrate that we all have sooooo much to discover!

We were so freaking lucky to grow up in the ‘70s-80s. The music was incredible and concert tix were CHEAP. I tried to list all the concerts I went to and it was damn near 100 (not including the great bar bands in Philly). I love to see younger people appreciate it. 💕

He was in Humble Pie before he went solo. Humble Pie also blew the doors off when they came to town. We made them do three encores which they remembered when they came back through. Check out "I Don't Need No Doctor" and "30 Days In The Hole".

I worked 1 of his shows 15 years ago and got to meet and talk to him about playing and when we were done talking he gave me a handfull of his guitar pics to take home and play with. I never used such a small pic before, I will never forget that and still use those pics

Best live recorded album ever

Frampton Comes Alive sold 8 million copies the year it was released in 1975. Since then, over 20 million have been sold globally. Everyone who owned a record player back in those days, owned that live album and it still holds up to this day. That audience at the Midnight Special had no idea that Frampton was going to literally play an extended live version of his hit to close out the show. Perhaps the most legendary performance on a tv show that was defined by legendary performances.

Lines on my Face from Frampton comes Alive is smooth as glass one of my top 10 ever

Frampton hails from Humble Pie. We girls were nuts for this guy!! 😍 FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE!! ❤🔥Double LP!! Uses a talk box, vibrations from tube to guitar, we loved it, looks like you do too!! 😊

There could never be another MIDNIGHT SPECIAL, there's nothing out there nowadays worthy to put on.

I fell in love with him when I was 15. Have seen him five times between 1977 and 2019. He would typically rock that hard for the whole three hour show. Amazing guitarist.

I met him and he is so humble and nice. Every time I see him in concert he is always amazing.

don't think there was anyone out selling Peter at this time. definitely peak popularity right here. also when he was in Humble Pie with the late great Steve Marriott beautiful music what a great time it was...

As I'm sure it's been said many times here, as a teen, or anyone who enjoyed great music, this album was a must have in your record collection in 1976. I had mine. Also it's cool watching my generations MTV, the Midnight Special where you could see all the bands you couldn't get tickets to see.

More talent in his little finger than 1/2 the artist today combined.

Frampton did a Blues album too. He could always play. Under appreciated.

Best Song of the 70's. Brings back so many HS memories!!

Music, I grew up on and I love seeing other people discovering new music from the old days. Loved your reactions. Peter was a genius with the guitar and loved performing. Had the pleasure of seeing him live in Atlanta. Oh Baby I love your ways is another one of his that was a big hit.

I was 16 yrs old when this song came out ,I had the pleasure of enjoying all the great bands of the 70s in the coolest time to be a teenager

You need to remember that Midnight Special was before the internet, before MTV, this was the first time we got to see many of the top artists performing live!!! So many amazing performances.

Cruising the strip listening to Frampton in my 71SS

You guys are the best. You let the song play without jumping in front of it because you need to be seen and heard. I learn from you guys. Thanks.

I can tell you that Frampton was on the breeze in 1976 and you were on point with this reaction, my friends. I saw Frampton in concert in 2016 and he was Killin it on an acoustic gig.

What can you say, this is sick.

The first time I saw Frampton in concert was with Humble Pie and the Blackberries.

The guitar he's playing is a custom made one of a kind,it's also on the cover of Frampton Comes Alive. He was playing in South America when the plane carrying his equipment,including that guitar,crashed.Several people died and he thought he'd lost that guitar but someone actually stole it from the wreckage. Fast forward 30 yrs. later,someone brought THAT same guitar into a repair shop and the owner,a Peter Frampton fan, knew exactly who it really belonged to. He took possession of it and contacted Peter and told him what he had. Here's the story if you want to hear it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6NnuLGBfs7Zg9o.html

Yay, glad to hear it!

He's playing the guitar through what's called a "talk box". That's actually the original talk box. He got it from the inventor. When he stepped over to the second microphone you can see him move the white box with his foot. The box has a driver (speaker) in it. He steps on the switch on top of the box which diverts the guitar signal from the amplifier to the driver in the box, which travels up the rubber hose in his mouth. then the guitar reflects from his mouth into the microphone. The guitar he was playing is a very early Gibson Les Paul Custom professional built in 1957. Back in the day, I think in the late 1970's he was scheduled to tour South America.They shipped all of their equipment by airplane which crashed, I want to say in Aruba maybe. He of course thought the Les Paul was lost forever. Fast forward to just a handful of years ago. Someone in the know went to hear a live local band on that island and realized that the guitar player was playing that guitar. Long story short. Peter owns that guitar again. It's in bad shape but, he still plays it on stage. He originally came to fame in the band Humble Pie when he was a teenager. They had many hits but, one of the most famous was a song written buy Ashford and Simpson who wrote for Motown. They wrote the song for Ray Charles but Humble Pie made the song iconic. Check out "I don't need no doctor"

He basically put the talk box on the radar…..😊 you should listen to the Frampton Live concert performance.

Frampton is one of the world's best guitar players.

I LOVED Peter Frampton concerts!

Saw him in concert in 1976 at MSG in NYC. It was so much fun!! The crowd was super involved and interactive with him. It was nuts... like one huge party. The energy was beyond incredible! One of the best shows I was lucky to have seen! Frampton is now in his 70s and has had some health problems. What a beautiful and talented man, no matter what! ❤🎸🎵

Peter Frampton always put on a good show and underrated as a guitar player

The "Frampton Comes Alive" version of this is a must-see.

Love Frampton

And I listened to ALL 14 minutes of it!!!

We learn new things every day,so glad you can hear this now.

Yes!! It is this long! ❤ Btw, I wouldn't be here if you already knew this music. I love to see people discover new music.

He was in the greatest rock band ever Humble Pie

Happy to see you made it. Love peter Frampton

Best concert I have seen. 1976 touring on this album. $6 admission. He was great and all the women were mesmerized by him. Guys too, probably. Gary Wright of Dreamweaver fame opened for him and he was great too! Frampton is still performing but has a condition that makes him have to use a chair. Bless him❤

Midnight Special ❤Great memories ❤

Frampton! Hell yeah, good tunes and good times

I saw him live just a few years ago and he was still Fire! Listen to "Lines on my face".

Hey fellas we had some damn good music in the 60s and 70s rock, folk, Motown!

It's too bad this video gets recommend more than much better versions out there. He's extremely talented so glad you played it. Thanks

One of the best albums ever, every song on the album was great

Going thru your past catalog and found this gem.brilliant!

The Midnight Special was the introduction to many of these artists back in the day! Not Zeppelin. Not Purple. Not Nuggent. But fantastic in his own right and this song was his best. Too pretty to be that good? No. And no autotune, etc., just pure talent.

That voice-box!!! Some others were using it, but Frampton put it over the top.

No denying Frampton is a huge talent! I love these types of videos! The format I've seen mostly falls into 2 groups. People who usually listen to hip hop / rap / R&B or people who listen to classical music. I think it would be cool if someone could turn it around and expose people who listen to Rock, classical, ect. to examples of great hip hop / rap / R&B.
