Most of you will probably laugh at me for this, but I heard this song for the first time ever a couple evenings ago. I was blown away!!! What he does with that guitar is amazing. I've heard about his "talking guitar," but always thought that was reference to the song "Show Me the Way." I can only imagine being the concert where that was recorded, "Dude, he just totally blew my mind!"

That is all :D

You obviously led a charmed life up until 2 nights ago- unfortunately, it appears your luck ran out.

Ha!
I used to have that LP jacket hanging on the wall in my bedroom (along with a bunch of others) when I was a kid.

Still fun to listen to from time to time. Brings back memories.

RC

It's just a Heil Talkbox he runs the guitar through. Joe Walsh used it first IIRC.

Ah good memories. Saw him in concert in Toronto in the mid 70's. I played Frampton Comes Alive constantly for a long time. Wish I still had a copy of that LP.

Great song, great album. I've still got my copy from high school, ripped it at a high sampling rate, cleaned it up in software, and still listen a lot.

The talking guitar was some kind of talk box.

Great stuff, enjoy! There was a lot of great music from that era, look around and you'll find more!

bs

I remember being able to make it home from work and listening to just that song. If I was on time I could get home with 5 seconds or so left in the song :D

... but I heard this song for the first time ever a couple evenings ago.

Dude... where've you been?

Great album!

In Summer 1975 Frampton came through Dallas and played most of the songs in a live studio concert over KZEW-FM 97.9 that would be released on the Frampton Comes Alive album later in Jan 76. I taped it off the air on my Teac A2340. A few months ago I found that old tape and copied it off to MP3, and a link to it is here:

http://thezoofile.com/Frampton,%20Peter_Do%20You%20Feel%20Like%20We%20Do (2).mp3

The radio station had more requests for that song than any other in its history. Keep in mind this was live over the FM radio and highly compressed, but doesn't sound too bad.

I remember that too! I miss KZEW(The Zoo).:tears:

I remember that. I was living in Oak Cliff at that time. I had my Sansui AU 111 with a Eico Tuner and some big assed speakers. Man the Neighborhood was rockin that night. The Kzew was my favorite station

Thanks for the link Ed. :thmbsp:

Frampton is still putting outs some great stuff. If you liked the first Comes Alive I'd recommend Comes Alive II.... some awesome playing there and great tunes.

Dude... where've you been?

Answer: Perhaps being born sometime in the past 30 years.

It's REAL hard sometimes for me at least to grasp just how fast and how much time has gone by since certain "big deal" recordings were current. As a kid in the 70's I remember us looking at the 50's as being the "oldies but goodies." NOW there is a generation looking at the 80's or soon the 90's as nostalgia. :sigh:

Some person today discovering Frampton would be proportional to a kid in the 70's discovering The Glenn Miller Orchestra, or something else from the 40's.:scratch2: NOW I will go break out the Just For Men......:thmbsp:

YEAH!

hahaaa...i despise that song!

That is the best thing i've read in weeks. Truly hilarious.

Ahhh. Now that brings me back to my high school days :smoke:

Steve

Once again Tentoze hits the mark. During college, I worked in a record store when that album came out. Sold a zillion of them; mostly to young girls. The other record that ran off the shelves at the time was the "Grease" soundtrack. Ended up hating "Feel" because it was so overplayed (like Layla has become).

No disrespect to Frampton -- he was caught in the starmaking machinery and it was a risky (brilliant) move to release a live album -- took his career to an unbelievable height. His fall from marketing grace was damn impressive after that. But he and his playing have aged rather gracefully.

Go to YouTube and look up Humble Pie if you want to see some of his early "harder" work (up to '71). Of course having Steve Marriott wailing next to you on stage didn't hurt.

I actually like Frampton better now then before. He still has his voice and seems to be having more fun performing...

You first heard it just two nights ago? You should continue this exposure to new old songs. Perhaps listen to that nugget, "Stairway to Heaven" next.:D

Yea its a great tune. Better late than never.

The local radio stations (KSFM and KZAP) used to over play that album to the point of burning it out. It wasn't till much later that I could listen to it again without getting nauseous. I do like Tesla's version of "Do you feel like we do" from Reel to Reel.

You obviously led a charmed life up until 2 nights ago- unfortunately, it appears your luck ran out.

Tentzone, you are tooooooooooo much!!!!!!! LOL

I can't believe you just heard it for the first time.

I didn't really like it when it first came out, but I like now. I have it and play it now and then.

The funny thing is my son and his friends ask for it when they are over and they were born about 15 years after the song hit the radio stations.

Someone mentioned Frampton's newer albums. I picked up a couple of them and haven't been disappointed.

He can still rock.

Yeah, I can certainly see why there is so much animosity towards the song.... when we were teens we couldn't turn on the radio without hearing this song..... and...

Stairway To Heaven
Slow Ride
Hotel California
Dreams

Just to name a few..... not to mention the fact that if you were growing up in that period and went to a party someone would be playing at least one of 'em on their TTs..... or went to a bar you'd hear a cover band doing them badly! And hey, don't we all have friends from our past who would only listen to ONE artist over and over, with only a smattering of stuff from other groups? I had a buddy who would only play Lynyrd Skynyrd at his place...... took decades for me to start liking any of their music again after that......

Peter is a very accomplished player, and while I have not liked everything he has ever done, the good far outweighs the bad AFAIAC.

Peter does a great cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Black Hole Sun" on some of his more recent releases.

One great thing about Freebird is economy... you hear the same guitar lick played repeatedly, about 4 dozen times... enough to last a lifetime.:yes:

Like Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory, every time I see a copy, I have to have it.


.............. 11 and counting.

I really like his version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Black Hole Sun is also good.

I saw that tour in July of 77 at JFK stadium in Philly. I think the LP was recorded in Winterland though. Isn't that the Bay area. Great Live album.

I do agree with a post I read somewhere that Frampton was better with Humble Pie. Hell, he was just a boy when he was with the Pie. Great band they were. Ever listen to On To Victory. Post Frampton?

1975, NYC Central Park

pretty much the same show as the album.

I saw Frampton with Pie
July 71, Asbury Park Convetion Hall
here is a bit about the show.

"The Bruce Springsteen Band opens for the (at the time) red-hot HUMBLE PIE. After the show an impressed Peter Frampton, leader of HUMBLE PIE, tells Springsteen and the band he'd like to have them open for HUMBLE PIE on a national basis. Frampton also states that he would be happy to get the band an audition with his record label, the prestigious A & M Records. For no logical reason BSB manager Tinker West declines both offers on the spot. The story is corroborated in separate published interviews with Peter Frampton and BSB trumpet player Harvey Cherlin."

I got a local klassik rawk station that plays Frampton at least daily... as well as all the others listed. Jeez, someone change the $#&@ing playlist, already! It's been 30 years!

frampton doing a cover of 'black hole sun'??
