We are thoroughly enjoying a 2013 concert of his on TV here. Really nice to hear those old songs done so well again. Here comes the grumps...

He's good, enjoy his stuff. Really good guitar player. Melodic with some bite.

Never heard of her


lol

That’s coming soon. What for it.


<and it will come from some douchebag that would have been 23-27 years old in the mid 70s)

Great guitarist.

Whose wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?

Maybe Ann Murray will be on next!

Were you even alive in 1976?

I like his stuff...........................



If I don't hear it more than once or twice a year.

Like most good stuff, it got too much airplay when it came out and I got "done" with it for a few years.

Similar to Stairway to Heaven and Free Bird, Frampton Comes Alive made the charts and not only got radio time, most of my friends bought the album too.

Anne Murray sucks ass

I took my kids to see him and Steve Miller several years ago. They loved it. Tried to show them what true musicians sound like. Unlike the modern [bleep] being sold as music.

Whaaa,wut wut wut wut whaa....

Saw him live on Joe Bonamassa's Blues Cruise out of Barcelona in 2019. He can still play great but it's a shock to see him as a balding old man. Still rocks though.

Never heard of him. But I was a little kid in the 70's

I'm putting you on ignore...

Or as Anne would say; spread your tiny wings and fly away

Came close to seeing him in Coeur d'Alene four or five years ago.

That's what 72 will likely do to us...

Watching it now
Easy to tell he was really enjoying himself and expressions he made about losing his hair were funny .I liked his performance and style ore now than in the 70,s era.

I was more of a CCR,BTO,Eagles,Boston,Stones,Steppenwolf and some of the Beatles ,Grass Roots music fan.

I was a little kid in the seventies too

Peter Frampton was on the radio about every hour. Then in the 80s-90s he was in rotation on our two major rock stations in Nashville.

As the early 2000s came our KDF went to country format. Frampton was already on daily rotation on the “Classic Rock” station across town.

Gawd it was everywhere.

Oh well, we had good music in the trailer park

Frampton pops up randomly in Nashville, he lives in the area

How old are you 67?

They don’t play Ann Murray’s music in dancehalls either. Boring music!

Frampton is a fine guitar player

That Synthesizer Blast'in in My 71 Riviera "The Boat" loaded with teenagers headed to Alpine valley Music Theatre or an underage keg party...

Any Cristy Lane?

Used to come home from school to an empty house put that album on the record player and spent 30 45 minutes just laying on the floor listening to one side or the other in peace.

70’s?! Damn it…. I sorted all his songs into my “80’s” playlist.

Frampton has some degenerative nerve disease that will stop his ability to play the guitar soon. Heard him say it during an interview. I was 16 when Frampton comes alive was released. Spent many an hour cruising in my 67 Ford Galaxie 500 listening to it on the 8 track.

Ron

Grew up listening to him. Good stuff. Made the synthesizer
Famous.

so he's not dead? Usually a thread title that just has the name means the celebrity just died.

We wore out Frampton comes alive 8 track went to his concert in Baton Rouge in the 70's.

II first saw him with Humble Pie in the early 70s...Miller Auditorium
@Western Michigan University

I still see a few KDF license plates cruising around here.
Did you ever have a KDF Rock Card? That was funny when they said it fast.

Pretty sure I saw the Pie and Frampton together in 1972 ? in Birmingham. Humble Pie slammed it. Was right up front at an outdoor show. Frampton “came alive” too.

I was deer hunting in a camp one time with his drummer.

I remember listening to KDF - Carl P and the P team with Bubba Skynrd in the late 80's, and then you had Coyote McCloud over on 107

Frampton lives (lived - not sure anymore) in Cincinnati so he is usually on the local radar for some event. Didn't know he had health issues though.

Neither was I alive when Ten Years After were going good.

One Day at a Time sweet Jesus. Christy rocks!

Frampton always made me wish I had a Les Paul.. but I've never owned one, always Fender. I bought my first electric in 1979?? It just happened to be a 1964 Strat. I bought it because it was one of the cheapest guitars in the shop at the time. Crazy to think about now. Still have it, needless to say that it was a great investment both as an instrument and as a 401k.

Frampton is great, if you get a chance to see him you probably should. These guys ain't getting any younger.

Frampton Comes Alive! Made live concert albums a thing . . .

Pretty much all I listen to anymore is live recordings on YouTube.

The thing about him was that his studio albums were kind if mediocre but man, seeing him live or his breakout album "Frampton Comes Alive" put him on the map.

Chicks loved him, guys kinda got sick of hearing his stuff at parties, there was a lot of good hard rock still coming out at the time.

He puts on a great live show. Talented guitarist


He should be in the rock and roll hof

Noteworthy.


Haha

Good.

I saw him at Freedom Hall in Louisville, back when I was in high school, right after "Frampton Comes Alive" was released. Helluva show. Lots of great bands back then, I probably saw all of them at least once. Bob Seger came to Louisville about twice a year, lol, had a lot of fun at those concerts.

Saw Frampton with Fleetwood Mac and Gary Dreamweaver Wright at the Oakland Coliseum back in 76.

Great show as I vaguely recall.

The problem with remembering great rock concerts in the 70s is that most people were so stoned every group sounded great and our recollections are somewhat "degraded" by use of enhancing chemicals....

He was an excellent guitarist and ranked right up with most of the greats and can still play a pretty good lick when he's of a mind to.

I saw Gary Wright, the Doobies and Fleetwood Mac at a Day on the Green in 77. Boy those were fun times...

My wife and I saw him on his last and final tour a few years ago. It was a great show! He had the degenerative disease then but I couldn't tell in his playing.

I remember some wacky morning DJ's talking about having him on for an interview.

Talked it up for a day or two.

He walks in and it's nothing but a guitar player with a talk box! LOL

Pretty funny gimmick.

I bet that was a helluva show!

Yep. I was also 16 in 76 when the Frampton Comes Alive LP came out too. Wore out the 8-track.

I've always liked this clip because it's one of the rare times you see Frampton playing a Stratocaster. That unmistakable bright twang sounds good on this tune I think.

Frampton thought he lost his Les Paul to fire after a plane crash. 31 years later he got it back.

That was really interesting. Thanks for posting.

He was a well regarded studio musician for part of his career (no wonder he has the chops he has). He was a good friend of David Bowie. He is also known as a truly nice guy, a rarity in show business. Unfortunately he is largely retired now due a neurological disorder. I enjoy his music very much.

I thought he played a Hammond B3?

So was he. He started playing with Humble Pie when he was 16.
