Amazon.com: If you were challenged to name five rock albums that epitomized the '70s, Frampton Comes Alive! should probably top the list. Former Humble Pie guitarist Peter Frampton recorded a few perfectly fine albums with his band Frampton's Camel, but it wasn't until some of those tracks were recorded at a live performance in San Francisco and released as Frampton Comes Alive! that he became a household name. Buoyant pop, sentimental ballads, arena rock--this album has it all. The double-LP package set sales records and contained three bona fide radio hits ("Baby, I Love Your Way," "Show Me the Way," and "Do You Feel Like We Do?"), one of which, shockingly enough, was over 14 minutes long. No wonder that, to many, the two-and-a-half-minute songs of the Damned and the Sex Pistols felt like a breath of fresh air a year or two later. --Lorry Fleming
takes me back! I love it now just as I loved it then. Sounds great and the price was right!
Frampton cd is rockin!!!! I recently purchased Frampton Comes Alive cd and it still sounds as good as the day it was released.The music from this era is timless!!!!
This is one of the greatest selling live albums for a reason. This album is amazing. I'm only 23, so this music is way before my time (I never even heard of Peter Frampton until 2005). I kept hearing it's one of the best selling live albums ever, and after hearing it, it's for a darn good reason. The production quality is crystal clear, the songs are classics, and it's just a blast to listen to over and over! Everyone should own this album for it truly stands the test of time.
Memories If you were a teenager in the late 70's this record was issued to you. It permeated that entire era. A must have. Bought it on cd a while ago and really enjoyed listening to all of it again. Frampton was really at the top of his game here. Memories.
Still misty after 30 years! Oh my gosh after 30 years 'Do You Feel Like I Do" still brings tears to my eyes! Its my high school years all over....wow! I really loved the casualness of this album, it really 'Shines On' Peter Frampton's talent (not in the singing area but his fabulous guitar riffs!)
