The best concert I ever saw was Peter Frampton. It was in Arizona around 1977. I had cheap tickets, but as the concert progressed, My girlfriend and I made our way towards the front to join a small group that began encircling the stage. It was obvious he really loved connecting with the audience. I think he did three encores. As I recall, during the last one he was sitting on the front of the stage with an acoustic guitar. He was only about 10 or 15 feet away from where we were standing. One of my favorite memories of all time. Thank you Peter Frampton!

When Frampton Comes Alive came out, it had such a clean sound, one unlike anything we had heard before. It was one of those rare albums that didn’t have a bad song on it.

The irony here is that "Frampton Comes Alive" was SO big, his star actually faded as a result. It was such a monster album, he outdid himself. He couldn't duplicate the success of that album. I remember when "I'm In You" came out afterward.

My long experience with many top artists in the production end caused me to think the opposite. Those with true enduring talent tended to be down to earth and easy to work with. It was the young players with an image to protect who were jerks and they usually were short lived in the industry. Those who had long creative careers seemed to appreciate their popularity and treated production people, road crews and audiences with kind respect. I can only remember two who I refused to have further contact. One was kicked out of my studio mid album for molesting a female staff member. His initials RJ. The other which I was not recording but part of a large charity fund raising performance was John Denver...a total jerk to everyone who were all volunteers and some were much bigger stars than he was. It is the wannabees who developed attitudes and surely one reason their careers were short. Giving a hard time to your production teams, and audiences was a good way of blowing a career opportunity. Luckily I seldom dealt with the inflated egos of minor stars and I could pick and choose what album projects got studio time in my 3 studio complex.

I've gained more respect for this artist after each interview and performance. Go Peter Frampton!

Frampton Comes Alive! is one of the best live albums ever released. I saw Frampton playing for David Bowie on his 1987 Glass Spider Tour.

First time I heard of Peter Frampton was when he was on top of the pops on TV with his band The Herd. He also had a band called Humble Pie with Steve Marriott from the Small Faces. He certainly knew some great people

How can anyone not love that music? I saw Peter Frampton 3 years ago and he sounded awesome as ever. His sincerity shines through. What a great guy.

Amazing album and musician. Let's not overlook the fact that Peter is still producing amazing music and up until recently was touring - performing at the highest level.

One of the best guitarists to ever touch the instrument. So fluid, intuitive, & creative. Underrated. Would love to hear more about how he evolved his style, his influences, as well as his friendship with Bowie - from childhood mates to both becoming massive superstars in the '70s and, later, _Glass Spider._ Such a... _humble guy._ Could listen to Frampton tell stories for hours. Stars of his stature didn't just play to crowds, they played to populations. He was a one-man Knebworth.

Peter Frampton is awesome. I saw him in concert in 1979 with Blue Oyster Cult, it was an awesome show, his albums were great. Glad I got to see him live 👍

I remember everyone talked about Frampton' and how he made his guitar talk, ... it was inspirational to someone who grew up in that era, and was instrumental in me learning how to play guitar in a band and 37 years of enjoyment at it, ... Magical times, ... *: )*

I met him once and he was just one of the greatest people I have ever met. What a genuine human being

Thankyou for the in depth interview with one of the best. Peter Frampton is a poet. "Baby I Love Your Way" is imho, a masterpiece. I've read before the story of him writing that beauty of a song, but it was great to see him tell it himself. I look forward to your next interview with him.

@stevestalock go watch Rick Beato`s channel, as well. He interviewed Peter Frampton, as well.

I remember my older brother showing me the cover of that album when he got it; he was jazzed, and when I heard it the live versions of those songs, it blew me away. Eventually my bro gave me that lovely piece of vinyl and i still have it today! Heard Mr. Frampton & his band live here about 10 years back, at the Erie County Fair, and they were even more amazing in person, despite some awful weather (outside stage) It was hot, ridiculously humid, grey drizzly or pouring at will, no breeze, no hope, but somehow they picked us all up with their great attitude and energy. *Side Note-- As someone that also suffers from the rare disease Dermatomyositis, I'm sad for Mr. Frampton that he has it, but very glad to have such a wonderful and engaged spokesperson for our debilitating and little known illness. He's been great about raising awareness.

An old boss of mine worked as a music critic and columnist locally in the 70's and 80's and told me something interesting about Peter Frampton. Peter was a big part of why George Benson started performing a couple pop songs on his albums. My boss was interviewing George and asking about putting a couple pop songs with vocals on his album, one of which had been a small hit. George told a story where he had a show at a local jazz club the same night Frampton was performing at a nearby arena. After his show Peter came by to see George. After George had completed his set Frampton sat down with him telling George what a big fan he was and what an influence he had been. Benson's only thought was Frampton just played to a packed arena while he was performing in a club and some nights there were more people on the stage then in the audience. He decided to start performing a couple pop songs on his albums shortly after that meeting to expand his audience.

Was just telling my kids about this phenomenon the other day - this and Cheap Trick Live from Budokan - could never figure out how these great live albums got produced and widely distributed by bands I'd never heard of. Just glad they did.

Had the privilege to see Peter perform live several times in his career . He just got better with age . His medical condition may end his career , but I have decades of great great memories… thank you Peter

I read his book, love it. Even if you are a moderate fan, it's worth the read. Peter has my highest respect.

Always such a privelege to hear interviews with one of the nicest people in the music business. I have massive respect for Mr Frampton.

Frampton is a genuine guy. I was so happy he got his LP custom back.

When this album came out I was in university in UK (actually Wales) and it never left my turntable. “Do you feel” was an inspiration and to this day and I still love the power and energy it gives me when I listen to it over 45 years later. Tried growing my hair to look like Peter but ended up more like Leo Sayer! Crazy days back then and we’ll cherished, thank you Mr. Frampton.

One of the first three albums I bought with my own money when I was a kid-the other two Zeppelin (Stairway to Heaven) and Eagles (Hotel California). I hold Peter Frampton up to those two bands to this day. What a great interview-thank you!!!

I was never crazy about live albums of material on prior records, except the Grateful Dead because, live was always better examples their playing and writing than the albums. But "Frampton Comes Alive" was simply the most enjoyable album, live or studio and I played the heck out of it. I was in the recording business so did not want to listen to too many albums for fear of following someone else's wagon tracks. It was successful for so many reasons and crossed many genres. The coolest part was Peter was one of the authentic "good guys" in the field. One of the other reasons I was very attached to that album was that my life at the time resonated with it. Peter is always a great interview because he is down to earth and is well-spoken, warm, and authentic. He is what he appears to be.

👍😎 Love Peter. Saw him in Hollywood at maybe the Whiskey a Go-Go early 90’s. So much fun. He’s not only a great guitarist but he’s funny too. Got my Comes Alive cd autographed and caught his pick when he tossed it after the show. It is in a frame with that cd and the tickets.

Formed my early year's ears listening to the Frampton comes Alive, definitely takes my mind to younger happy times. class act Mr. Framton, nice dialog Thank you both.

Yeah, Frampton wrote one of the best ballads in “Baby I Love Your Way”. It’s just incredible.

How did I know it was the great Peter Frampton? Bob Mayo on keyboards. Bob Mayo. 😄 My dad was a letter carrier and knew a guy who had a 66 Mustang on one his route. He asked the guy if he wanted to sell it and the guy said no. The Mustang just sat there rotting away month after month. Finally the guy approached my dad and ask him if he still interested in the car. My dad bought the car and had it towed home because the driveshaft and transmission were in the trunk. The windows had been left down, so my job was to clean the interior out and get the car ready for us to work on it. Under the seat I found Frampton Comes Alive on 8-track, so I put a battery in the car and jammed to some Frampton while we worked on the car. Great memories! Peter is an impeccable musician, songwriter and has a hell of a sense of humor!

Saw Frampton twice this past decade. The 1st one my wife went and she said it was the best concert she'd ever been to. The 2nd one he opened for Steve Miller Band and they did a 30 minute jam session together. It was awesome.

I was only 6 years old when the album came out but I knew it well, as my older siblings had the album. They played it a lot!! Played it so much, they kept wearing out the needle on the phonograph. Thank goodness for spares!! Flash forward about a decade, my friend purchased a 1976 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible and installed a new, state of the art sound system in it. Unlike anything I had ever seen at the time. It was the first CD player I had ever seen and the album of choice was Frampton Comes Alive. We cruised for HOURS, blasting the music everywhere we went. I literally lost track of my surroundings as I felt like I was actually at the Concert. My soul was touched that day as I got lost in the beautiful tunes coming at me from every direction. It gave a whole new meaning to "Do You Feel Like I Do?", let me tell you. I felt like I had been to Heaven and witnessed the greatest performance the Angels could possibly give. Fast forward another decade, the Landscape business I worked for was called upon for an estimate to redesign the entire landscape at a home in the Cincinnati area. It belonged to none other than Mr. Frampton, himself. My encounter with him was extremely brief, but the experience was forever memorable. To this day, every time I hear a Frampton song come on, the volume gets CRANKED UP!!! He'll always be ROCK GOD ROYALTY in my book!!

Can't wait for more, Prof! Loved this guy forever. And I mean, everything. He has never stopped making music and some of my favorite work of his is from the 90's and 2000zies. Looking forward to more, and sharing this!

Every time I play Frampton Comes Alive it takes me back to those great years of my youth.

Frampton magic. Addictive, upbeat, and forever etched in our minds. Saw him at Madison Square Garden when I was 17, then lost the group I was with! Crazy night but it did not matter because I got to experience Frampton LIVE. Unforgettable.

Ya have ta love Peter Frampton.....what a nice guy. Thanks Professor !

I was at the Winterland shows. I was there to see Man with Deke Leonard.

I remember when this double live album came out. I was a 14 year old burn out beginning rock musician. The talk box in Do You Feel Like We Do blew my mind. A couple of songs on the record would become classic rock staples. At the time I knew they were infectious, memorable, and felt darn good. I was really into music but I hadn't heard of Peter Frampton before. The double record comes along and for the next several decades it stood as one of the best selling live albums of all time. The keyboard solo in Baby I Love Your Way by Bob Mayo is incredibly beautiful. Frampton stamped his mark on 70s classic rock with power and class.

Oh, and Peter Frampton is magnificent! Thank you for interviewing him. His work is timeless!!!

When it first came out in the 70s their wasn't one person who wasn't touched in some way by its poetic beauty. Every song on it was a masterpiece. Very few artists can say that about their work.

On an airplane over the Atlantic I realized ,after 35 years of listening to Alive, about half the cuts are acoustic based.

About one year before Frampton Comes Alive was released Peter was on tour with a band called Frampton's Camel. Frampton's Camel was paid $8,000 by my school, Eastern Illinois University, to perform a concert for the student body. As the head rock DJ at WEIU, our college station, I was able to go into the locker room for an interview with Peter after the show. He was so nice and so genuine, he was easy to talk to. At the end of the interview I offered some pot; Peter smiled and said "No drugs on a gig." Very softly spoken and very professional. Many of the same great songs as Frampton Comes Alive, but as a studio record it went nowhere. The live version captured the magic - forever,

I saw electric Frampton with hair in 1980? in Hattiesburg Mississippi. Then acoustic Frampton without hair just a few years ago at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi. Both times he absolutely shredded it. What a timeless and talented artist. Thank you Mr. Frampton.

In one of his interviews he talked about riding down an elevator with a father and his daughter. The door opened and as they were walking away, he said, "let's go see if the old man's still got it". Frampton calmly said... Oh, I still got it. LOL Can you imagine? I was 18 when Frampton Comes Alive was released. It is still one of my favorite albums.

You do a great job with your vids. Thanks for the memories.

"Frampton Comes Alive" still my favorite rock album.

Correct me if I’m wrong. Wasn’t Frampton Comes Alive the best selling album until Michael Jackson’s Thriller came along?

@@thomaskelley5180 I don´t think so, but I think Comes Alive continues to be the best selling alive album. And, maybe, the best selling double album.

@@GuilhermeSilva-rp2it You are correct about Frampton Comes Alive being the best selling live album. However, Thriller outsold it , according to what I just read, 70 million albums worldwide to 11 million. I don’t know if this info is accurate.

Peter Frampton is such a nice person. I would love to sit and talk music with him.

I think I was in 9th grade when that album came out and do you feel like I do was all over the radio. So it reminds me of growing up in the small town I lived in back then. Guitar lessons, school, jamming with my friends, watching our older friends band rehearsals at the grade school music room on week nights. Then later on becoming a part of the older guys band like a dream come true. Everything was so different then, I not sure how to explain what that difference is but I know those feelings have faded away over the years. My whole world was surrounded by the music of that time and playing all those songs in what ever band I was in at that time. Of course that also varied from band to band. I was involved with three bands at once back then at one point. I don’t know how I managed that but I was always somewhere and figuring out how I was going to get from here to the next place on the schedule. Kept me busy and out of the house and out of jail for sure so I suppose that was the positive that shines through the negatives. Thank you… good night…

When I read greatest LIVE record of the 70s Framption was the first name that jumped into my mind. Loved it then. Love it now.

Classic album. I remember my cousins had a copy that they pretty much wore out back in the day. Saw Frampton play guitar for Bowie for Bowie’s “Glass Spider” Tour. Awesome experience 😊

Great interview, Adam.

I don't know if it's because I'm old or what, but I've never even heard of "will to power". But I DAMN sure remember Humble Pie and Frampton. In fact, a segment on Humble Pie and Steve Marriott would be greatly appreciated.

Had the privilege of seeing Mr Frampton back in 1976 during the filming of the Barbara Streisand Kris Kristofferson version of Star is Born movie, it was a full day concert with scenes being filmed in between acts. Santana, Montrose, Graham Central Station and Peter Frampton. Barbara sang some of her hits and introducing for the first time Evergreen. Kris came out and sang Me and Bobbi McGee and Sunday morning coming down which at the time I had no idea that he wrote those songs.
