Peter Frampton on David Bowie | The Big Interview 

Frampton was always grounded..even in the 70s..always a class act and a humble dude!! Well respected 🎸 guitarist worldwide..

I would love to live in a world with people like Peter Frampton.

Peter is an incredible musician and songwriter. Frampton Comes Alive is widely considered to be among the greatest live rock recordings in history.🎸🤟🤟✌️❤️

You can literally see his kindness the pain and his grace Much health & happiness I saw him in the 70's great man

I had the privilege of seeing Peter Frampton do a show in a small club back in '94 or '95 where I had a seat just above the stage and about 30 feet away from where Frampton performed. It was the finest rock music experience I've ever had, and the most lasting impression I took away from it was the total joy and enthusiasm that Peter showed for the entire show - he gave it everything he had and he never stopped smiling the whole time. It's so rare to witness an artist perform a labor of love like that.

Peter is such a likable guy and a great musician. Dan Rather, his interviews are always perfect. Nobody does them better than him!

I saw him play with Bowie on that tour. What a treat that was!

He deserves a ton of respect for his playing

Mad respect for Frampton!

Got to see the David Bowie "Glass Spider" tour at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, Pa. in July 1987, from the fourth row. And seeing Peter Frampton stride out onto the stage and start playing his Guitar was, for me, the highlight of the concert. You could see he was really enjoying the moment, and he was playing great, so it was good for everyone who was there.

Mad Respect for Mr Frampton! Thoughtful & mega talented. Very rare in these days. Imagine that TWO icons came from that same school.

Bowie was a class act! And he had one of most iconic voices in Rock! He and Freddie Mercury singing together was quite special. Having Frampton play guitar with him on tour was a testament to his respect for a legendary guitarist.

As a teen in the ‘70s I clearly remember when “Frampton comes alive” came out, and the hoopla surrounding it. None of us had ever heard of him, so he truly came out of nowhere, and then seemingly back from whence he came, nowhere. Everything was word-of-mouth & peer reviewed then. Yes, I bought the album and loved it. I think it was the 3rd album I ever bought; the first being “Genesis Live” for $1.98 at a local convenience store. What a different and magnificent world through nearly every measure (but not every) we live in today. Thanks for this, cheers 👍

Thank You Peter Frampton for all you have given us!❤

Hey Peter- Im In You got me thru an abusive childhood. I played it obsessively and your voice was/is so very calming and loving. Sad to hear it was a bad experience for you. It saved my life.

Class act. Love Frampton. What a great guy.

From Where I stood, I'm in you was a huge hit with us teens and teens are the ones buying the records. Great memories for a generation.

Saw him with Humble Pie in Glasgow and his own band at Wembley Arena. Nights I will always remember. Steve's voice and Pete's Les Paul .

Dude is a legend

Saw Frampton in 1976 un real! Saw him again in 20? Incredible lead guitar playing and singing Including a Sound Garden cover and playing Blues with BB King.!!! His singing and playing Are still fantastic. A Geezer in great physical and mental Life force.

Monster guitarist. Great chops, killer tone, versatile, creative ideas. Always a joy to listen to.

Frampton and Bowie were so great in concert. I feel blessed to have seen both.

Love you Peter. You are an increbible musician.

I have never been a fan of David Bowie's music but always liked several Peter Frampton songs.

We saw Bowie in concert in Houston many years ago with Frampton in the band. Great concert.

Peter, you look Great!!!!! Thank you for the 70's. Jeff from Brooklyn

I saw Frampton in Boston last summer (2023). After the HOF performance I think he's starting to regain due recognition, but to say he's underrated would be an understatement.

Peter is such a lovely guy.

Love them both. We miss you, David Bowie! Love you, Peter, you are still super handsome and have the kindest eyes 😘

A Big part of the reason I went to see The Glass Spider show was because I knew Peter was going to be in David Bowie s band, his solo on the outro to Loving the Alien was one of the greatest highlights of the night . I was at one of the filmed Sydney shows that is on the DVD my friends brother worked @ Ticketek and got us fantastic seats about 15 rows back on the floor awesome night !

2nd row for the glass spider tour in St. Paul MN. stood up on my seat yelling "DAVID" and he knelt down while singing cracked actor and pointed at me. It was awsome! 😊

He owns "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" hands down! Even Clapton bowed out a few times on stage to Peter's playing that song.

Love Peter Frampton, great musician and a wonderful guy. Frampton's Camel is one of the most underrated rock albums of all time - great tunes throughout. I prefer the studio version of "Do You Feel ... " over the more famous live, talk-box version.

Born 76🎉 Feel as I was their with Framton and Lynyard when I watch the videos 🇩🇪👍🎸🎶👊

The Glass Spider tour is so underrated. Yes, it was the 80’s, and I know that Bowie didn’t like the album, but man! What a show!

P. Frampton was a great musician !!! long live the guitar legend 🎸🎸🎸♥️♥️♥️🎸🎸🎸

I saw Bowie at an arena from the cheap seats. His persona and stage presence were so big that he filled that place and I walked out of there completely satisfied with the show. Gigantic personality.

One of the greatest fret-masters / songwriters of our time ….in my top five for sure….and what a great guy , so humble and unassuming…..just a genius.

Seen him 6 times live. Always the best live show. Love hum

Blessed to see Peter’s 2019 Farewell Tour w his son Julian, and Jason Bonham drumming. Might as well have been the Winterland Ballroom, San Fransisco 1975. Magical evening. I’m glad he’s still playing.

Met Peter in the first disco pub in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 1960s, which was in Earls Court Road. Was with my good friend Raymond Oliver who worked in Tin Pan Alley where Peter bought a guitar.

RIP David Bowie 🕊️🌹🙏🏼.

Love this guy! Dan Rather is a great interviewer. Both of these guys are great.

Have seen Peter many times starting with his tour to promote the live album. He is the most Gracious performer I've ever seen not to mention his talent. I was at his 35th anniversary tour at Pine Nob. The starting time was 7:30 pm. He began on time and was half way through his first song when a group of front row center folks hustled in and looked exasperated, He stopped I was close enough to hear the exchange they where surprised he didn't have an opening act. He giggled and said its billed an evening with Peter Frampton! And said folks do you think it would be ok if I started from the top? Cheers and laughter and He played for us till 11:15 and apologized for ending the show because of the outdoor venue's noise curfew. God Bless you Pete.

Saw him last year on stage in Paris for his farewell tour. Great performer and a gentle soul

So talented. Saw him in the last decade and he shockingly performed Frampton Comes Alive straight through and i sat there with the biggest smile on my face the entire time. It was like being back in time. He was outstanding and still is even sitting down. He is a class act.

Saw him live several years ago opening for Journey and Def Leppard in Toronto. He's an awesome guitarist and frontman.

I remember going to see that tour in Philadelphia at Veterans Stadium before they tore it down. Thank you for the trip down memory lane!!

I saw him with Bowie during the Glass Spider Tour. It was the first show from the tour, in Rotterdam

The albums he recorded with Humble Pie were 🔥🔥🔥

I always liked the song, I’m in you” 🤷‍♂️

I saw the Glass Spider tour show in Brisbane and was about 50 feet from Frampton but watching Carlos Alomar the whole night, unaware until the band was introduced. All I remember is being overjoyed that he was back on stage.

I do love Peter Frampton!!! ❤❤❤❤

Gee ! what a connection, your my fav guitarist and everything, and also David Bowie is one of my favourite original Artist great combination to have on my list of legends.

Saw Glass Spider tour. It was awesome.

I’m ok with someone having a shorter span of greatness creatively and then carrying that forward with continued and relentless excellence. Frampton Comes Alive is without question one of the great albums and rock experiences ever. It was and is bigger then life. I saw him in concert two years ago when he announced he was going to quit regular touring do to his nerve condition. He was amazing. No doubt he is a legend and as humble as they come which is the great part of old school. It’s just that they all back then got ripped off and should have made a ton more money then they did. But the world can be very predatory. But that humbleness I miss. Now ‘stars’ all seem to think they’re all that. I guess that’s what money and constant social media attention do to you. Sort of damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Anyway rock may be dead creatively but it’s legendary music and influence lives on.

Great sense of self awareness. Rare. Magnificent artist.

Hot damn!!! He still looks good.. but I remember in the 70s how beautiful he was.. especially his hair.. rock on Peter Frampton!!!

Sorry to have missed the Glass Spider tour in 1987. I was studying abroad in England at the time and could have traveled from Newcastle to Sunderland to see it. Ended up not. That was definitely a miss. Great to hear Peter talking about his school mate and friend David Bowie.

He was and still is a phenomenal musician.

I saw him in 1976, at a large outdoor concert. But sadly, i can’t recall it. Well, it was the ‘70’s

I saw Peter & David on the Glass Spider Tour Auckland 1987 at Western Springs Stadium, I think I remember Frampton suspended over the crowd on some sort of diving board thing, doing the opening break to 'Do You Feel Like We Do, and Bowie on his throne birthed from the womb of the enormous spider covering the stage scaffold. Unfortunately I missed the Serious Moonlight concert at Western Springs 40 years ago, on 26 November 1983. one of Aotearoa's largest concerts, with a crowd of well over 80,000. Peter rocks on and Bowie has changed, fear not he will never, ever, die, he just cant play anymore concerts.

amazing story about these three guys

Peter is a Ledgend great guitar player and very humble person.

Saw the Glass Spider tour in Kentucky. Frampton was great on guitar.

Such a sweet man.

Great story ! Peter shows he never forgets.......

I wish Danny had asked Peter about his role in that episode of the TV show, Baa Baa Black Sheep.

Oh, btw, I'm so happy Peter finally found his original "Black Beauty" custom Les Paul. what a story that was!

Saw Glass Spider front row center in st. Paul MN Thx Peter and David! 😊

Love the interview ! my brothers friend lives in the house in Los Angeles Peter Frampton used to own,.. small world

Pete Frampton is so good at telling his story that bit with Dave Bowie exclaiming In surprise “That’s Pete! What’s he doing on TV TOTP? He should be at school” that’s so English 😂 we used to get so excited and inspired when one of our own sticks 2 fingers up at authority and does their own thing in such a cool way against the established order 😂

love Love LOVE Peter Frampton

Still amazing musician, still gorgeous. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Seems like a wonderful human being. Even if I hated “Frampton Comes Alive” as a prog rock fan in high school.

i saw the glass spider tour in portland oregon, and i saw peter play at the edgefield in oregon last summer

Very likeable chap

I must admit I play old Herd and Humble Pie numbers more often than his 70's stuff. Then again his solo stuff from the 70's actually pop up on the radio sometimes, not the Herd,

I was there at the glass spider tour in Sydney in the 80s!

It was what,19 '76-77 Sun Devils Stadium, Phoenix/Tempe Az, 46,000 peoples paid like $4.50 a ticket, IDK filming crowd scenes for that movie "A Star is Born" Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristoferson a concert from 8:00am to 8:00pm Peter Frampton, Santana, fuzzy here I want to say BT Express and Montros. I was cooked, baked, tanned, and spanked, Lordy I had a good time! 50 years of memories, that I can remember! LOL Haahaha I was alive!

O tempo nao passa pra vc😮 deus te abencoe🙏😍

Love Dan Rather's interviews.

If there is a person on earth I'd love to shake hands with, it's Peter Frampton. Seriously.

Wonderful man, Great musician.

happy guy. lessons learned.

A high class person

Still as beautiful as ever! ❤

Best Live album EVER!!!

You are so amazing. I do love you so much ❤

He looks great.

High grade fella and great guitarist. Trust, David and Peter would have caused some shit back in the day. :)

Well spoken

Where have all these great performers gone the alive ones that is

Could you please upload the Bowie special Mr Rather presented following his death in 2016?

Go see Frampton's Never Ever Say Never tour!

1:45 ah? This man just happened to have played Guitar on the song "Grease" whilst "on the way down"

this bright spark interviewer keeps calling him david booooey

Love ya Pete.....we should jam sometime....

Will never forget the I'm In You album cover. It was as bad as the Billy Squier video for a career. Great that both artists were able to recover over time.

Peter does well responding to questions a six year old could have asked.
