I have a great Peter Frampton story. I'll try to keep it short. When I was 17 in 1972, I went on a summer backpacking trip in Europe after high school. One night I went into a London vegetarian restaurant alone, and the waitress seated me with this young, long-haired, handsome chap. It turned out to be Frampton, and I had seen Humble Pie the year before live. He talked with me over dinner, took me out for a ride in his Aston Martin, drove me to his flat, played acoustic guitar for me, and gave me a Promo copy of his first solo album. The nicest guy in the world. I swear this is true.
@@maryjvanderwerken3192 Thank you for believing me. It really is true. I have been telling people about this for many years, and the kids today have no idea who Peter Frampton is.
@@aquamatch If I wanted to lie, I would have said I met Jimi Hendrix or John Lennon, or Eric Clapton, or Mick Jagger (or best of all Keith Richards), but I didn't You can be a naysayser all you want. I was there over 50 years ago. I will never forget meeting Frampton.
I was 17 in 1976, and I read about it coming out in Rolling Stone magazine, that was the go to magazine for reviews for music enthusiasts! So I went to the Head Shop/ Music store and bought the album and loved it, wore ot out! Oh great memories😊😊
I saw Peter tour this album in Miami at the baseball stadium. He's the greatest guitarist. He's finally inducted into to R&RHOF what took so damned long? He's a genius ❤
back then, when music was made to make people feel good. (and the '70s are outstanding anyway). That is not the case anymore. nowadays it is like any wicked noise that seems to have a recognizable structure, is all that it takes to consider it as great/cool, as long it is weird and strange. the more the better. I do not have tunnel vision. I like all genres, soul rock funk, soul, jazz, and classic when it's a great piece of music and makes me feel good.
This was the best concert ever Winterland on the corner of Post and Steiner Street San Francisco 1975 the night I graduated from high School graduated at 6 oclock June 6th and we jumped in our cars raced up straight to Winterland what a night that Friday night!🎉
Cerre version est MAGNIFIQUE ! Mais MERCI aux Stones de l'avoir créé parce que grâce à eux, Peter Frampton a pu faire ça ! Merci à tous ....God bless you.

@@garyolshan4177 to be part in that amazing audience must be the coolest thing. The audience on 'Frampton comes alive' is part of the music on it. Defenitely.
STONES rocked it , but totally agree with you. I caught FRAMPTON in 1975 on the Milwaukee Lakefront. Bachmann Turner Overdrive opened along with GARY WRIGHT. 15yrs old, livin' life 🎶👌🏻😎 Tix were only $15!!!!!!!!!
I saw him with the dream weaver also, at the Blasdell civic center Honolulu. great combination those two bands. The best show I ever saw. Most times the opening act is OK. or the main band is so eat up with inter band conflict to give a good show, or don't even show up, leaving the warm up band to be the best show of the night.
Saw this lineup at the Balboa Stadium In San Diego on 7/18/76. From the middle of the day into the evening. Yes/Gentle Giant/Gary Wright & Peter Frampton. What a show. Didn't know how lucky I was to see that lineup all together in one concert!
You mean you saw Him in concert in San Francisco Edwin?I was 16 years old and an older friend of mine was the one who introduced Me to Peter.He used to get mad at me because every time i went to His House i would ask Him to play Frampton Comes Alive.What do you think of the Guitar work at 6:00 in this song?
Meu primeiro disco duplo e ao vivo, primeiro show de rock (23/10/1980) no Ginsaio do Ibarupuera/SP, melhor disco ao vivo. Frampton Comes Alive para sempre. Atualmente tenho 4 cds e o Lp dulo deste.
I used to give my JBL speakers a workout with two songs in 1976. One was Rory Gallagher's "Crest of a Wave." The second was Frampton's version of this Stones classic.
If one really wants to hear true Frampton Tone ck out Humble Pie Rockin the Fillmore Live Lp. You will even hear the lick at 2:00 in this track , where he originated it from in the HP's "I Don't Need No Doctor " Its about 3,30 into it. Pretty much all of where Frampton's awesome leads and sound developed from this time period of the double live record. Let me tell you something they were loud crunchy and honest musicians. His screamin solo in Stone Cold Fever (live) says it all !
I really dig this version. I prefer it to the original Stones version, which is highly uncommon for me, typically I prefer the original version from any re-make of it. I was 11 when this album came out and my older brothers had it. I dug it then and I dig it now.
I used to really dig Leon's version of this, as I got the Bangledesh album (as in vinyl) as soon as it hit the shelves ('73?) It is too bad we lost him , what last year? This version does kick ass. It is unfortunate that the only Frampton songs played on the radio are the worst ones, and songs I could do without EVER hearing again.
Someone commented w/o his original band it's not the same. Face it, none of us are the same! I saw Frampton in 76 and I saw him last week, part of his 67 city 2011 Tour. He is still one of the best guitarists of all time and he surrounds himself with talented folks. Those youngsters can flat-out play too! Some things are timeless: PETER FRAMPTON!
"Nothing special"? There are some seriously daft comments below. This is about as inspired, fiery and soaring a version as you're ever going to get. Even Mick Jagger was a fan. He sang backing vocals on Frampton's next album, for crying out loud.
Why 8 people don't like this song is beyond me. I guess there are other genre's of music that people would prefer and that's ok. I'm digging this new Polka-Hip Hop, Heavy Metal Country, Acid easy listening and grunge muzak but not a big fan of Electronica Gregorian Chants and House and Techno Dirges. '76 was probably one of the greatest years of my life and everywhere you went one was bound to hear Frampton Comes Alive somewhere in the background.
I sent you an email about a month ago to let you know that things are now going well in my life and that the old Lorrie is back and you never responded. I thought maybe you were sore at me. I miss you too Sam. You are an awesome friend and an incredible person. People are better off for having you in their life.
Hey dude! Never ever mad at you. I'm glad things are good. I check my email once in a blue moon. I don't have your phone number anymore, give me a shout and we can catch up.
I saw Peter last year after he lost all of his gear in the Nashville floods. It was weird, definately Frampton signature leads but the timbre was just not there. Plus, without Bob Mayo (and the other originals) it could never be the same no matter what.
I totally get what you're saying. I am a crazy huge fan but he doesn't play his songs with the same balls out rock energy. He improvises all his solos he never plays them the same way twice. Which is both good and bad. Sometimes i feel he drags out the energy too much and loses the POWER of the song. Like on DYFLWD he now plays Jazz leads instead of flat out ROCK leads the whole song loses much of its energy that we have come to love about it. I know he is a crazy Jazz fan but it just doesn't WORK on his rock songs. Watching his MSG final show it was WONDERFUL to see him play this song but he dragged out the ending so long that he nearly had to come BACK to simply end the song. He ended it and then he ended it again. I would kill to see him play the song EXACTLY as it was done of FCA. The EXACT same leads. But sometimes i watch him play it and during the first solo instead of that fabulous energy ramping UP in the song he is ramping it DOWN with a Jazz lead. I just GROAN!!!!!!!!!! I want to scream at the top of my lungs.. PLAY A FUCKING ROCK SOLO!!!!! Hit the TREBLE switch make like you own the joint like back in 76!! I know he has it in him but he doesn't let himself go there anymore. And his keyboard player is awful. He ain't no Bob Mayo. He might know how to play the instrument but he doesn't have the vibe.
Recorded in 1975, released in 1976. The album was recorded in summer and fall 1975, primarily at Winterland in San Francisco and the Long Island Arena in Commack, New York, as well as a concert on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus in Plattsburgh, New York. The Winterland songs were recorded on a 24-track master recorder
@@roquefortfiles What I meant was, he isn't really a household name like the big 3, Bonham/Moon/Peart. Therefore only talked about by other drummers in the know.
@@jamesschaidt1096 For sure. I've always been a huge fan of his drumming. Even back in the day i thought "Whoever this guy is he's a fabulous drummer" He has amazing timing and no nonsense fills. Tight and concise. Show me the way is great drumming.
Ronnie Wood is Keith's friend and it's Keith's band, though Jagger leads it, and Ronnie is a good - though kept under wrap for who knows why - guitarist for the Stones, in this fan's opinion.
Smoking a joint and drinking some whiskey at the drive in on a summer night in Florida and making out with a teen girl in the back seat. Frampton is jamming on the radio. well, shit, I suppose life can give you some moments
great version loved it since it came out but always makes me laugh any time any band/artist covers a Stones' tune; you can predict the comments. Better than the Stones' version! Sorry, no. There's lots of great Stones' covers out there but none are as good as the originals I mean get serious, people. Same goes for Dylan tunes including, yes, All Along the Watchtower. Nobody even seems to know the original by Dylan, half the world thinks it's a Hendrix tune (and Hendrix worshipped Dylan). But the Dylan original is still better, if less known . Listen to it sometime. All that said, it's all a matter of taste and to each their own.
An insult to Charlie Watts drumming?? You're talking the man who does not alter his tempo on almost every Stones song? Good grief. John Siomos would wipe the floor with Watts.
Charlie Watts is an unbelievably boring drummer. He does EXACTLY the same beat on EVERY Song.. COmparing John Siomos to Charlie Watts is a FLAT OUT Insult. Buddy you do not know what good drumming is. The off beats in this song are huge. Charlie would not have a HOPE of following this.
