Frampton Comes Alive

Frampers gives it real energy, and has a palpable stage charisma (it's hard not to like his bright attitude and Spinal Tap accent between tracks). The talkbox on 'Show Me the Way' is the big gimmick, but played with gusto. The track is really quite infectious; and surprisingly the talkbox only appears once more on 'Do You Feel Like We Do'. This guy must've been a big influence on The Darkness, and you've just got to embrace the sincerity of it all. This album fully earns its exclamation mark. A great live album - you can feel it's live. I've used enough superlatives here to award this the big one. Against all odds, I think it's that good.

4.5

How do I just now find out about this guy? This is fantastic stuff!

Peter Frampton is a god amongst men, holy shit. The guitar riffs man 😮‍💨

I have heard several of these tracks and recognize the album cover, but think this is the first time going all the way through. Im often not the biggest fan of live albums, but enjoy this style of jam music so this was a joy. Multiple huge hits, and the rest were still really solid, no real complaints from me.

I'm not a fan of live albums usually, but this is one of the few exceptions! The songs were great, guitar was so good and you could hear enough atmosphere without it being an album full of screaming Very enjoyable 5 ⭐️

Favorite Track: Baby I Love Your Way

My friend used to stare at his poster and cry cause she loved him so much 😆

Great

I love thos album!!

L had the vinyl shortly after it dropped and it got played frequently - especially Side B. We saw Peter perform this album live (for $5 / ticket) at UNH in 1980 and it’s just as much fun today as it was back then. Holds up well for 50 years later. L = (4.9*s) Loved it! One of the best live albums I’ve ever heard. J = (4.75*s) Actually, didn’t like this album that much when it first came out. But it got better with time and listens. Certainly brings me back to a sweet , sweet time…

Dude fucking rocks out hard

Such a jam. Wish I could have been in the audience, but I wasn't born yet.

3 of the songs were not available to listen to.

This album came out when I was in High School and instantly it was everywhere. It still sounds good. 5 stars or A-.

Solid Work

Incredible live album, some legendary tracks on here

Best Live album!

I've given worse albums 5 Stars, so this one is for the culture, and respect to a Live Album that's actually great and preferable to studio songs.

Epic album. Truly a timeless piece. Easily one of if not the best live album of all time. Should be in every collection.

I mean, it's Frampton Comes Alive, for God's sake.

Frampton’s talent cannot be denied. Live albums are tough to rate but this one is tops.

When Frampton Comes Alive was released, Peter Frampton became an instant phenomenon. Frampton had already been in Humble Pie and had several solo albums, but most listeners had never heard of him. All of a sudden, he was everywhere and the live renditions of Baby I Love Your Way and Show Me the Way were everywhere. The difference between Frampton Comes Alive and his studio albums was the energy. Live, Peter Frampton and his band showed off the musicianship and power of the leader and the band. This was especially true on the extended guitar solos and improvisations that are the hallmark of the album. Freed from the need to produce a 3-minute radio-friendly single, Peter Frampton could showcase his dynamic playing and obvious talent. The album isn't perfect, mostly because the technology of live recordings wasn't all that advanced. There is, at times, too much crowd noise (you can hear individuals shouting out), and the percussion can be muffled. None of that really matters though since the star is Frampton and his guitars. They come across crystal clear. Sadly, this was Frampton's apex. His follow-up studio albums were only "meh". He just couldn't put the lightning in the bottle. Frampton Comes Alive, however, IS 70's rock in a neat two album set.

Absolutely brilliant. Frampton is a guitar god. Fab

Наконец-то приятная, не напряжная музыка для моих ушей! Супер-хитов нет, но зато все песни ровные, провальных нет и звучат они достаточно гармонично. Это действительно один из лучших живых альбомов, которые я когда-либо слышал. Хотя всё же жаль, что в этой коллекции нет ни одного русского альбома. Тот же "Live in Moscow" группы "Браво" - как минимум не хуже (а по мне так даже лучше). 9 из 10.

Geil

Classic

Regarded as one of the best live albums ever it still holds the test of time. Fresh and easy going at first but a jam session ensures in the second half. This dude can rock and move people. Would have loved to be there. But thinking always hos later song breaking all the rules would have made this album even better

Y'know, I've made my case for live albums being included on greatest or essential albums lists. On the one hand, there are the albums that capture a sound that a studio recording never could: The Who's LIVE AT LEEDS, James Brown's LIVE AT THE APOLLO, B.B. King's LIVE AT THE REGAL... I imagine those are why most live albums are included. Then you got the ones that are included for capturing historical moments: Muddy Waters's AT NEWPORT 1960, Duke Ellington's ELLINGTON AT NEWPORT, Johnny Cash's AT FOLSOM PRISON... The ones that're preserving these moments for everyone in the future to hear. In the face of just those two points alone, I think it's a bit silly to act like live albums in general shouldn't be here. Just because a small handful are less engaging than others... Y'know. And then there's my third point. Now, it's a bit of a smaller point than the first two, true, but it's just as valid a reason. I mean, look, some of these albums are just fun as hell listens. There's nothing terribly complicated or historical about them — they're just a fuckin' blast, full stop. That's where FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE!, well, comes alive. Now, sure, this record has its significance: the talk box solo on "Do You Feel Like We Do" is famous for helping popularize the talk box. That's not nothing. At its core, though, this album is just an incredibly enjoyable experience. These are great musicians, playing great songs greatly. I can't imagine having a problem with any of this unless you just really hate the sound of crowds cheering. Not even the fact that this is an hour-long double album dampens the mood. Honestly, time flies when you're listening to these songs. By the time the 16 minute closer rolls around, I doubt you'll've really noticed this thing's length. I don't even really have anything else to say about this album. I do honestly view it that simply: it's nothing more than just a good time. And as good times go, well, I can certainly see why it sold like gangbusters back when it came out — seriously, it was the single best-selling album of 1976. And count me in the line of people who would've bought a copy, goodness. Honestly, screw it — this is a 5. Normally I wanna save 5's for albums that touch my soul, and not things I merely enjoy like Mylo's DESTROY ROCK & ROLL, but no, no. I don't want this 5 to be me overblowing this album as being anything **that** mind-melting, but frankly, I really did enjoy listening to it just that much. I can't front and I can't lie. And really, I can only hope you feel like I do. Honestly.

Freaking superb live tracks. Solid 5 Stars.

I believe I’m at a 10. Perhaps it’s the slight high of ending on the unbelievable closer that is “Do You Feel Like We Do”, but… man, that’s the blueprint for a live album right there. That’s exactly how you fucking do it – make sure the crowd is loud enough to hear, and let them have a presence, and let the music give them the energy to enhance the feel of the whole thing. It sure helps that the music itself was stellar – I’m normally big on lyrics, but when you’re at a live concert, it’s not like you can just pull up a lyric sheet (well, you can, but you’ll be exposed as a fraud probably), so I listened to this purely on the basis of the band, his vocals, and the energy of the crowd. I cannot remember the last time a live album was THAT good. Granted, we haven’t gotten many, but the ones we have gotten always tend to pull back the crowd enough to make them a non-factor, have a few obvious cuts that ruin the flow, or have a lot of studio overdubbing that’s noticeable enough to sort of ruin the illusion of a “live album”. If there was any here, it must’ve been subtle or minor, because I’m convinced this was fully live all the way through – the only cut I could feel was on “Wind of Change”, and that track was probably my weakest one (that, or “Shine On”, oddly enough). Other than those two tracks, which are both still fun listens, this feels like nothing short of a masterclass in terms of track variety, crowd control, and really, just how to perform live in general – Peter Frampton has a really nice voice that plays charismatically live (not sure about his studio work, since this is my first time ever listening to the guy), but it’s his guitar work that steals the show in combination with the rest of the band – that last track, as well as the cover of Jumpin Jack Flash are the two standout examples of it. On both, it seemed like the crowd was ready to hit a fever pitch that might literally cause a minor hit on a seismograph. Maybe that’s just an excellent job on acoustics & mics, but it felt indescribably electric, even as a recording – I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like in San Francisco. I truly don’t have any major flaws here – maybe the one line about molestation on “It’s a Plain Shame”, and even then, I feel like I might be reading it wrong, somehow? It’s a weird line that seems like it’s from the perspective of a crazed fan that Frampton wants nothing to do with; still a strange train of thought, though. One line aside, and two “eh” tracks, it’s just a stellar 80 minutes, and I do feel like it’s reset the bar for my expectations of what live albums should be like on this list. Insanely good – a 10, through and through.

Classic album and a must for all vinyl collections.

Awesome

Maybe it's because I'm listening to this directly after the dog of an album by Richard Hawley, but man I'm enjoying this.

Loved this album and continued listening to Peter Frampton for the rest of the day!

5/5 Classic.

As good as it gets for CSNY

I was initially skeptical of a double live album but I shouldn't have been. Trust the process. Everything sounds great and distinct and the crowd energy is present. Just the kind of live recording I like. I didn't realize how good Frampton's guitar playing was. Almost all the songs have something to offer but the biggest hit is Baby, I Love Your Way. I really dig a lot of the soloing, especially on I Wanna Go To The Sun. Nice heavy riff on (I'll Give You) Money. There's quieter moments too. And then the epic finale caps things off. I can't deduct any points.

LOVE LOVE LOVE

Fantastic album. Love the instrumentals here. I wasn't always on board with the vocals, but at times they hit nicely. 'Do You Feel Like We Do - Live' takes my fave.

Such an incredible album. I'm jamming out to it again. Listened to the 35th anniversary deluxe edition and both volumes are incredible. Every song is a banger.

Loved this! Very fun album. Will listen again in the future.

Love a lot of this album

Man this dude likes to noodle on the guitar. Quite into that sort of thing though.

Have always loved this one!

FUMF.

Didn‘t know his name, but some of his music. I love the hits on this one, the instrumental only parts and the live atmosphere captured in here.

Solid

Imagine how I felt finding the live version of «Do You Feel Like We Do?» on YouTube when I was 13, right as I started playing guitar. I mean, just the transition from the talkbox part to the solo — holy shit! And then a full album of stuff like that! Yeah, this is awesome!

Before autotune we had "Talk Box" technology! What a gem of an album! What a treat to pretend that you are somewhere in the audience, throwing back a beer, hitting the bong, or just passing along the beach ball, and being lucky to have had good sound engineers tape this show! Sure, not all songs are 5 stars, but taken as a whole, if you like electric guitar driven music, this is a must listen!

5/5 Amazing, timeless, classic rock. Side 1 is banging, but side 2 emerges touching and beautiful. The whole thing is paced fantastically, with a delicate instrumental leading into a heavier side 3, which contains a great change of pace within the brilliant Jumping Jack Flash. Then side 4 has only the relaxed Lines On My Face and the supreme Do You Feel Like We Do to finish this exceptional album with a bang. It's coincidental to review two live albums in a row which have incredible peaks right at the end of their runtime (after Nirvana's MTV Unplugged). Something's Happening 4.5/5 Doobie Wah 5/5 Show Me The Way 4.5/5 It's A Plain Shame 4.5/5 All I Want To Be (Is By Your Side) 5/5 Wind Of Change 4/5 (LEAST FAV) Baby, I Love Your Way 5/5 I Wanna Go To The Sun 5/5 Penny For Your Thoughts 4.5/5 (I'll Give You) Money 4.5/5 Shine On 5/5 Jumpin' Jack Flash 5/5 Lines On My Face 4.5/5 Do You Feel Like We Do 5/5 (FAV)

Sensational!

Excellent!

Absolutely incredible seminal album! Frampton at his best

Oh Peter, I love your way! I had no idea who Peter Frampton is, but i am happy i found out!

Rips.

Absolutely fantastic - I didn't know how much I liked Peter Frampton until I got this album on the app, really enjoyed it.

I have this album on MP3 and vinyl and just listened to it last week, but listened to it again today anyway! Wonderful, wonderful listen and it's just so good. The musicianship on display here is absolutely amazing, and I can't get enough of it. Five stars, easily.

one of the greatest live albums

This was great! I was skeptical when I realised it was a live album, but the crowd noises really add to the atmosphere. Songs are varied enough to stay interesting (the midpoint acoustic instrumental track comes at just the right time to keep it fresh). Cool electric guitar riffs and beautiful solos

This album is too long. But it’s really good. Really tasteful guitar licks. I love a little talk box. Usually anything over an hour loses a star from me, but this manages to escape that fate.

Bangers from top to bottom

Classic

Surprised to find how many of these I knew. Frampton is a massive talent, and this may be the one that sells me on live albums: maybe they just don't make them like they used to?

Iconic

Big Pete Frampton guy

Still a classic worth listening to.

The album, the concert, the poster, the crush… I had it ALL! Who wouldn’t love an amazing guitarist with the gifts of story-telling musical dynamics, lyric writing, the entertainment factor, and a killer smile?

I went into this album knowing only one song - "Baby, I Love Your Way". I have to say, the rest of the album passed muster. Truly a rock classic. But I cannot describe how much I enjoyed the final track. It started off like a fairly usual Frampton track and when the Rhodes kicked in at around four minutes in, I knew it was something more. The rest of the track has a similar chord progression to Telegraph Road by Dire Straits, which I LOVE. When Frampton whipped out the talkbox around seven and a half minutes in was when the goosebumps formed. I've been listening to this on repeat ever since. What an absolutely phenomenal performance. This album gets 5 stars on the merit of "Do You Feel Like We Do" alone.

I did enjoy this a lot.

Possibly the best live album by any artist ever. This version of “Do You Feel Like We Do” is one of the best songs of all time. For me, it’s rare that a live version eclipses a studio version for one song, let alone an entire album of songs. This is Frampton’s masterpiece.

One of the Greatest albums of All time!! Love it !!

YAY!!!! Reminds me of hanging out with my friend Dana (6th grade?). She had older sisters so we listened to everything they did when I came to the house. This is the best live album ever in my book.

I’ve got this in vinyl. My dad said the was a must-have on the medium and he wasn’t wrong. No other live album makes me feel like I’m at a concert like the one

A brilliant live album. Never heard 'Somethings Happening' before. Really liked it - great opener. The guitar work is such an absolute pleasure to listen to. Show Me The Way - what a perfect feel-good song. As is, Baby I Love your Way. I Want To Go To The Sun - another track I never heard before. Loved it. Do You Feel Like We Do - excellent. Looking forward to playing this album again in full. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A perfect 5! 😊

this album by peter frampton is... uuuuugh this is good, really really good. something about the energy of the crowd, the clear-as-day instrumentals sweeping in, and peter's voice... if you close your eyes are really allow yourself to become one with the audio, i swear you feel like you're actually there. i love this. i love this with every fiber of my being.

Phenomenal live album, best record on this list i’ve listened to so far! Favorite track: “Do You Feel Like We Do” and “All I Want To Be”

I always felt there was a tendency for the qualities of tracks on live albums to be drowned out and lost in the noise, rarely do I find them living up to the same standards as their accompanying studio albums, but this is one of the exceptions. Penny For Your Thoughts is such a refreshing interlude, unexpected but appreciated. Jumping Jack Flash is also a great track with a killer solo towards the end, surprised it isn't more popular. Do You Feel Like We Do is a 14-minute finisher, excellent solos from Bob Mayo on keyboard and Hammond, great track to end.

The gimmick of the talking guitar almost masks how solid the performance is. Listen to the audience just loving it. I don't think there's a lot of poetry going on here but everyone playing and listening is all about it. Huge fan of the energy. I don't know what I'd rate this if it wasn't a live album, but it being one adds so much. Finishing with Do You Feel Like We Do makes the album. The whole talking part going into that crazy breakdown and the crowd explodes. I can see so many people hearing this and deciding to start a band.

classic album -- 4.6

Awesome album that I remember well from my freshman year of high school

This is a live album where the embellishments - with exception - are lean, and the concert setting enhances the music. Each track is a Standout.

Great live album

This album is part of the soundtrack of my late teenage years. A superb piece of music.

A great live album. Exceeded my low expectations.

Fantastic. Nobody does it like Frampton, and live he's unreal. Easy 5/5

Honestly was never a big fan but this might be enough to change my mind

a classic. I already own this record

grande mestre, sonzeira

Classic!

Rock a la antigua usanza. Vinilo.

Live rock. "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way"

Enjoyed listening to this whole thing. The switching from acoustic, to rock is awesome. Good voice. Tasteful guitar work and leads. Bluesy and modal interlinking. Do you feel like we do is an absolutely jam banger.

Wow!!

This album was everything I love about rock.

I know it's not yacht rock but it's soft rock so I still wanna listen to it on a boat or a beach. Either way it's right up my alley. 9/10

Great live album

This is excellent. Awesome production and sound quality on a live album. Every song is well performed as well. Favorite track: Show Me the Way

Peter Frampton a juste trop de talent, peut importe le commentaire, je suis l'argumentaire, un genie 5*

"Show Me The Way", "Baby I Love Your Way", and "Do You Feel Like We Do" are three super hits that I really like. Crazy good live album. 9/10.

Rock a la antigua usanza. Vinilo.

Liked it a lot more than I though I would

Another much loved album I have in numerous media, LP, cassette, RTR, digital, etc. I have it on both the HD in my car as well as on an iPod that often travels with me.

I owned this album on a twin cassette pack and played it until is was stuffed, great album.

Live rock. "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way"

I honestly didn’t thought I’d give it a five stars but truth is, I really liked listening to this album. It has the energy of a great live album, and even though I didn’t know that much songs, I stayed hooked on my first listening ! The audience is on fire. Surprised also by the quality of Frampton’s guitar play, there’s some killer licks and solo. Of course the last track “Do you feel like we do”is a definite banger and Frampton makes good uses of talkbox. Anyway a fine discovery and definitely among my favourite live albums.

great album

"If ever an album title was in dire need of an exclamation mark It surely had to be Frampton Comes Alive!" ("Third Track Main Camera Four Minutes" by Half Man Half Biscuit. 2000) I saw Frampton support Deep Purple in 2004, and he was just as good as you would expect. This album is an absolute belter! One of the easiest 5's I'll give.

wow! what an album! I knew Peter Frampton by name (and of course I know the absolute banger that is Baby, I love your way). But I didn't realize how much I would love his work. Especially as a Live album which is even more impressive. Jammed out the full 14 minutes of Do You Feel Like We Do. Lines On My Face, Jumping Jack Flash, (I'll Give You) Money, I Wanna Go To The Sun, and of course Show Me The Way were all standouts.

I discovered this album as a young girl and was obsessed with it. Amazing or am I just reminiscing? It's still yhe only LIVE album that I can listen to.

Just a good fuckin album

One of the greatest live albums of all time. I loved everything about this album. Frampton is one of the all time guitar greats.

really cool I sure would’ve had fun seeing this live 9/10

very cool

Escutaria 1000x

One of the greatest live guitar albums ever.

hmm... never heard of him. (kidding, of course this is a classic)

Brilliant throughout.

This was really good. The talk box lives rent free in my head

This album is such a wonderful trip for me on two levels. First, on the nostalgia front, it brings me back to summers of my youth when these songs played on the radio and the energy was fantastic. Next, for me as a present-day listener, I hear and appreciate the music in a whole new way. The songs are a lot fun, they hold up well in the harsh light of time's passing, and I am blown away by the musicians, all of them. Bob Mayo's keys are on another level. I could listen to his keyboard solo on 'Do You Feel Like We Do' go on for hours. And Frampton's guitar playing...wow. Growing up, I somehow missed his being on the level of the other rock guitar gods I adored. I know now. Related Note: I recently discovered an album he recorded just a couple years ago, 'All Blues,' which is outstanding. He's still a true artist on the guitar. Back to this album: Yes, definitely one of the all-time greats. If the only song on it were 'Do You Feel Like We Do,' I'd still believe it's worthy of this list. Final Note: fans of Peter Frampton should see Rick Beato's "What Makes This Song Great?" episode on 'Do You Feel Like We Do' as well as the few other Peter Frampton-focused videos on Rick Beato's YouTube channel. Absolute worth watching.

Truly excellent live album, the crowd is really into the vocoder thing that Frampton uses, and it sounds cool! Some of quintessential Frampton tracks are on here!

Great album, he did this at 26 it's mind blowing

It's got the hits but the stuff between is also super solid. Great voice, shreds the guitar and great hair.

I didn’t know all this about Peter Frampton. Healthy helping of rock n roll 🙏 enjoyed

Great example of 70's rock and an outstanding, legendary live performance. Guitar innovation technology is also featured here with Bob Heil's talk box, and Frampton's mastery of it. This was cutting edge! Fantastic performance of a musician in his prime that (mostly) aged really well.

Holy cow! You couldn't escape this album in '76, it was everywhere. Still a damn good album and kinda changed the landscape for live albums to come.

Listening session: june 23th, while flying back from Sicily Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: okay he’s not the greatest singer ever, but this album was a pleasant surprise. I really like the guitar solos and the talking box sound effects. Not every song is memorable, but there are a few great tracks on this album Favourite tracks: Show Me The Way, Lines On My Face & Do You Feel Like We Do

I consdier this a quintessential vinyl record. As in: everyone has it, it's iconic on it's cover, and honestly it's just pretty good.

The singular showcase album for one of the greatest guitarists ever. Such smooth, lyrical, and expressive playing- he makes the instrument sound so cool. "Do You Feel Like We Do" remains one of the greatest songs ever for me- a legendary 14-minutes of 70s rock heaven. There are some ludicrous and laughable reviews on this website complaining that it's a live album as if that's a bad thing? The dynamism and sparks of energy exuding from these songs are made possible because it's a live album!

Such a great live album. The performances are clear and well done, the sound is awesome. Just a great showcase of what a live album should be if you ask me.

one of those live performances I wish I was there for!

I always felt the three hits on this album were over played and the artist was generally overrated. That said, the innovation, creativity, impact, and influence do need to be acknowledged. The album has a lot of filler outside the hits, but it plays through and flows well. The epic “Do you feel like we do”, certainly takes you on a journey, and it is a journey that holds up. This is a solid 7/10 for me but giving it the round up for impact.

The ultimate dad-rock album, and I'm here for it.

enjoyed, nothing crazy 3.5?

Actualy enjoyed this quite a bit! It’s a little tame but great composition, it moves forward and is fun!

Para mí escuchar ese álbum, fue una experiencia, lo disfruté bastante y creo que para escuchar este álbum hay que responder la pregunta me hubiera gustado estar ahí y por supuesto que sí me impresiona la nitidez de la voz del artista, la nitidez de la banda como tal, realmente un álbum y una experiencia muy bonita

Amazing!

Great album with a great musician. The live versions are really nice!

mfw i get framped on

One of the biggest rock records of the 1970s, Frampton does a little bit of everything stereotypical of the rock and roll showman pre-Disco era explosion: short and sweet blues jams, a strange song that brings up molestation, bland and boring love songs/ballads and long jammy solos with a guitar trick that makes the guitarist stand out; in this case it's a talkbox. The middle of this album is a bit of a slug that begins to heat up again around the solo of I Wanna Go to the Sun. The real good meat juice to Frampton Comes Alive is in the final quarter, where the rocking is up to a T for the most part. The biggest charm of the album is the hits it produced: Show Me The Way/ Baby I Love Your Way/Do You Feel Like We Do are classic dad rock, the latter a favorite with Radio DJs (RIP iconic job would've loved to have had one before corporate radio ruined everything) who needed to take a fat shit. There's not a lot that trickles down from that top, but stuff like the Jumpin Jack Flash cover and I Wanna Go To The Sun are fine and alright in that order. When this record was out, people couldn't get enough out of every song. I think it's at the point where aside from the biggest hits and stuff like Shine On/Jumping Jack Flash and the opening two songs, it feels a bit bloated. It is a Double LP so maybe that's to be expected, but then I think of another great live record in UFO's Strangers In The Night (not on the list but it should be) where the filler is pretty minimal. I don't think DYFLWD is bloated in any sense of being a long song, but it's surrounded by various 3-7 minute songs that are fine at best and boring at worst. Overall, Frampton Comes Alive a classic that is really the only inclusion of Peter Frampton on the list. I was thinking Humble Pie could've slipped in somewhere with all the other 70s rock on the list, but surprisingly they're not there. Your parents or grandparents probably fucked to this record, so it was a good soundtrack for that.

Ikinä kuullu ennen mut hyvä setti oli!!

I almost forgot to listen to it as I thought it was Friday yesterday. "Frampton Comes Alive"'s title suits it, with the songs being full of energy. It must've been fun to watch it live. As far as I can see, there are no duds on "Frampton Comes Alive". "Do You Feel Like We Do" is a tad too long; lengthy songs tend to be the Grateful Dead's speciality. 4 stars for "Frampton Comes Alive".

I think this record is pretty fantastic. Some really great songs and fantastic guitar work including the famous talkbox stuff.

Great live album. Don't really care for live performances that much but that was great.

I mean, if you gotta have a live album on the list it’s gotta be THE live album.

Maybe I should stop saying I don't like live albums.

It's Peter Frampton! Of course it's good. Live he is spot on and this album covers all the best of his songs. Maybe I will circle through more of his albums.

4/5

Yes it’s dated. Yes it’s corporate rock. But Peter Frampton puts on a good show here, and the songs are warm, memorable and accessible.

The music from this album has played somewhere, sometime in my life since it was released. I wonder on how many days of the year have I heard at least one song from this record? In spite of feeling a little like a one-hit wonder (I know there were multiple hits from this album and that he's had a long career), listening to this start-to-finish gives me a better appreciation for his talent.

Favorite Track: Do You Feel Like We Do

If you want to hear the perfect example of a pop rock guitar hero, this is it. An amazing live album nonetheless.

I think that it would be criminal to not start this review with "Everyone back in the day had Frampton Comes Alive". And if you are between the age of 40 and 50 you will understand why. I had been told when I was growing up that live albums were to be avoided, because you dont hear the song as the artist intended it to sound and there are crowd noises included. But as I have got older I have questioned this. Surely music is made to be performed. So a live album IS closer to the way the artist wanted this to sound. In this case Peter Framton sounds studio sharp. The band is on point and all of the songs sound pretty impressive. I have definitely heard gigs that did not have this level of mixing and sound craft. So what is the sound of this album? If you have never heard Peter Frampton before he is a mellow rock superstar. Catchy guitar riffs and big drum finishes. I love when Peter Frampton makes his guitar sing. It is amazing. He is a properly talented guitarist. The big hits here are "Show Me The Way", "Baby I Love Your Way", "Do You Feel Like We Do" and a cover of "Jumping Jack Flash". As a child of the 80s I was much more familiar with 90s Big Mountain cover of "Baby I Love Your Way" and although I still find that version more nostalgic. I MUCH prefer Peter Framptons version. This is a classic album for a very good reason. (4.123)

Ah this is a good one - always cited as one of the best live records but I never heard it - only the single feel like I do. Looking forward to this one. Yep it lived up to the hype. Just an enjoyable rock and roll record. Great stuff.

Live rock, good energy, fun listen

Really really good album. I don’t know much about the guitar but this is fantastic

One of the most iconic albums and best live recordings...kinda overplayed for my generation but listening to it front to back I have a newfound respect.

Descobri agora e achei muito interessante

Jolly good show

I was pleasantly surprised by this album!

Quite an oddyssey, production was great. Few songs in there I didn't realise were Frampton. Guitar hero shout out was great. Would probably come back to this one so givin it a 4

Siebziger Jahre, hatte ich bisher nicht auf dem Schirm. Hits: Baby I love your way

It was a beautiful day here in southeast Pennsylvania, so it was the perfect day to drive around with the windows down blaring 70's boomer rock.

Solid classic

Mais um disco difícil de conseguir uma nota. Lembro que escutei esse disco, talvez uns 5 anos atrás, e gostei, mas não tinha marcado tanto. Hoje, foi diferente. Esse definitivamente é um disco de rock, do estereótipo do Rockstar. Quase parece um disco de estúdio de tão bem produzido. Apaixonado por todos os solos de Guitarra. Maravilhoso.

Excellent. Will listen again

Love the occasional live album

Typically I would say I don’t have a preference for live albums- But “Frampton Comes Alive” is definitely an exception.

This was a 3 until I cranked the volume and it started making a little more sense. I get why this is the one that made the list, but still, if I'm going to listen to Frampton, I'm going to choose the studio recordings every time.

For some reason had to listen to the live performances but wtv its good

One of the best live albums.

A well-produced live concert. It was fun and didn't sound washed out. Good times!

classic live album, very good!

You ever hear a guy make his guitar talk!? Do You Feel Like We Do is one of the reasons to listen to this album and honestly the rest is pretty fun! Peter Frampton noodles the hell out of his guitar, and despite being live performances its still pretty enjoyable.

Despite this being a live album cobbled together from multiple shows I thought it was pretty good. Some iconic tracks and the other songs were enjoyable too. He can play the piss and shit out of that guitar too!

Surprisingly good

Ich werde wie mein Vater

Classic Rock 101 Sjovt at en hvid man laver en sang med en smule reggea feel, som et rigtigt reggea band så covere senere og gør rigtig reggeaet

Frampton Comes Alive is a really enjoyable album. The only song i ever remember hearing that played in this show was Baby, I Love Your Way which i remember hearing on classic rock stations. I like that song and all the others are really good ones too. The songs all sounded pretty good live with that typical sound you would expect from live hard rock. The guitars here are particular standouts when they are there, I also feel like this is an album that needs time to really sink in which it does by having a lot of the songs being pretty long and it works for this album. The songs here are very similar to each other but i still had an enjoyable time with this album. Best Song: Jumping Jack Flash Worst Song: Penny For Your Thoughts

I enjoyed

Very unique and timeless sound. Would listen to this anytime.

I know this album gets hate but truthfully I don’t know why. Dad Rock, sure but who cares it’s such a fun classic rock album. If it’s a guilty pleasure, fine so be it! It also did for quite some time to sell a shit ton of records! So…

4 out of 5 Everybody had this album in their house as a kid. It was great; just Peter and his guitar, which he can make talk—enough said.

Alors c’est pas forcément le rock que je préfère, mais il faut bien avouer que ce live est très bien ! La performance est cool, mais surtout, on entend enfin le public ! Par rapport au live que j’ai entendu il y a quelques jours, où le public était presque inaudible, ça fait franchement plaisir !

It’s hard to deny the earworm qualities of the big hits from this set, but overall the jammy-ness of the songs overwhelm (and leave the tread thin on) the rocking-ness. Also, I was surprised to find the recording quality a little uneven for such a celebrated live album.

The album covered had me worried that this would be a struggle to get through, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was perfectly fine. The sound quality was much better than I expected from a live album from the 70s, and the music itself wasn't bad. Not mindblowing, but solid with some good guitar work. Another argument for 70s music over 80s music. 3.7

8/10

Super

I enjoyed this quite a lot more than I would have expected, despite its unwieldy length. Frampton has a good voice and is a great guitarist. "I Wanna Go To The Sun" and "Do You Feel Like We Do" have great guitar solos.

Love it. Own it.

It captures that massive arena energy perfectly. Feels like the gold standard for 70s rock spectacle. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions - Show Me The Way - Baby, I Love Your Way - I Wanna Go To The Sun - Do You Feel Like We Do

This is another great live album. "Baby, I Love Your Way" and "Show Me The Way" are both pretty good versions, same with the rest of the album. However, "Do You Feel Like We Do" is just perfection. Maybe one of the best live songs ever, at least up there with "Free Bird," "Where The Streets Have No Name," and "Kashmir."

I really enjoyed this live album from Frampton. I am sure he put on a great show.

+1 for goated album closer

Apple Music didn’t have this one so I listened to Frampton instead which seemed close enough. In 2025 I have come to love early 70s rock in a way that my 1985 self did not see coming.

Everyone seems to know this album. Why was is so successful? It’s great, but it’s the only Peter Frampton album I could name.

This album is amazing. The jams are Phish-esque, singing is incredible and guitar is obviously great.

Oh Baby (Peter Frampton), I Love Your Way

5.7/10

A blast from the past. ★★★★

A live album? A Double live album from a guy I don't care about? Gotta be a low score right? Well, that's not what the exercise in 1001 albums is, it is keeping an open mind about stuff and giving every album a fair listen. Classic (generic) rock that it may be, this sounded amazing and musicianship was obvious.

Isn't it interesting whenever an artist's most popular album happens to be a live album? What does it say about that artist or band? I don't know. I'm not an expert on this sort of thing, largely because I don't know a ton of examples of this happening. Let's see. There's Johnny Cash, Cheap Trick, The Allman Brothers Band, arguably Kiss, some other ones probably, and Peter Frampton! Frampton Comes Alive is an interesting album. This album feels kind of singular in a way. Like, it's pretty much the only thing that Frampton is known for, but the extent to which it is known is pretty big. It's fair to call this an iconic album. But is it any good? Yeah! I think so! This one's pretty solid. I will start though with the one pseudo-complaint that I have. The album's pretty long. But, like, this is a live album. Live albums are kinda supposed to be on the longer side. I personally feel like a live album being longer than average is more excusable than it would be for a studio album, especially for something like 70s arena rock, but that's just me. The pacing could be a lot worse, but the album could've been shorter as well. Not every song is top-tier, but the best ones are quite great. It's kinda hard to argue that an album is bad when it has songs like "Show Me The Way," "Baby, I Love Your Way," and "Do You Feel Like We Do" on it. Great songs. The album sounds great for a live album. If it weren't for the cheering, I'd honestly confuse this for a studio recording. The cheering is sometimes a little too present in the mixing, but that's really only an issue for the time between songs, so the music isn't affected much. The performance is quite impressive. I especially love Frampton's guitar work. I mean, this thing has a talkbox on it! How can you hate this? Of course, this isn't perfect. The writing doesn't really stand out and some songs blend into each other a bit, but I still really like what I'm hearing throughout the vast majority of this album. I get the appeal. Low 4/5.

Another album that has a story for me. In grade school, probably just after this was released, I won this album off a friend in a bet and thought I'd love it. Frampton looked cool and I thought there would be lots of guitar with Frampton and his Les Paul. But when I put it on my turntable, I found it incredibly boring. And ever since, I've tried to figure where Frampton sits... Is he a guitar hero? A balladeer? A singer songwriter? He doesn't totally slot in to any of these, seems to me. This listen... I really liked the record. Frampton can sing, there are a lot of great moments of music, the talkbox work is really exceptional and iconic. It's probably one album side longer than necessary, but it's a lot better than my 10-year-old self assessed.

Not my vibe but still quite nice to listen to.

Good. 3.5

Probably overrating this, but it bring back a lot of good memories.

Maybe not the best classic rock album of the mid-1970s, but I would argue this is the album that best represents the sound of classic rock during the time period. A few extended guitar solos and jams, acoustic ballads, and nice chunky riffs, all with the energy of a live crowd. This album is “classic rock”. Fun listen.

This album is the soundtrack of the 1970s American Teenager™. Just watch That 70s Show, Dazed and Confused, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High and you'll get the vibe that this easily conveys. 4/5

Pretty decent still. Brought back a lot of great memories from when the album first came out. 3.5

Pink Floyd Lite

I love this album. Such a chill vibe the whole album (aside from the molesting lyrics). One of my first concerts ever was seeing Peter frampton at the Ohio state fair with my family. My parents played this album on our record player a lot as a kid so I’m biased in my rating. But trying to be objective, the guitar solos throughout are still incredible and frampton completely popularized the talk box basically with just this album. It’s also saying something that all these songs sound so good and it’s a live album. He’s a forgotten gem of classic rock.

So many songs I have heard before. Did not realize they were all the same artist

Solid

"Frampton Comes Alive!" is a double live rock album by English musician, songwriter and former bandmember of both the Herd and Humble Pie Peter Frampton. The album was recorded between June and November 1975 primarily at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco (other recorded venues were in San Rafael, CA and New York). Following four studio albums with little success and sales, this album was his breakthrough becoming one the best selling live albums of all time. The album spent ten weeks atop the US Billboard 200 and also reached #6 in the UK. The bandmembers included Peter Frampton (lead vocals, lead guitar, talk box), Bob Mayo (rhythm guitar, pianos, organ, vocals), Stanley Sheldon (bass, vocals) and John Siomos (drums, percussion). The album begins with Frampton being introduced and loud audience cheering and clapping. Frampton and the band go into a straight-ahead rocker in "Something's Happening." Piano accents. Poppy harmonies. Frampton's nasally vocals. A few guitar solos. Consistent audience participation in this song and throughout the album. A melodic acoustic guitar and bass begin the first single "Show Me the Way." Frampton brings out his secret weapon, the talk box through his guitar, and he alternates this with the chorus singing the song's title. He's following someone who had changed his life. The mostly acoustic side two is highlighted by "Baby, I Love your Way." An electronic piano led melody with the acoustic guitar, bass and drums. A nice love song. The hardest rocking song on the album is "(I'll Give You) Money." A bluesy beat and echoing guitar. Plus, we get a Frampton guitar solo from the middle of the song all the way to the end. The album closes with the 13-minute epic "Do You Feel Like We Do." Guitar, organ and a clapping audience in a song that builds towards the vocal chorus. A song about the camaraderie, if you will, of waking up after a night of heavy drinking. It's game over when Frampton brings out the talk box again as the audience goes nuts. A nice, clean guitar solo to end the song. Besides the theme from "Rocky," nothing musically says 1976 more to me than this album. A great mix and production of all the instruments making these songs sound very clear. Frampton is an excellent guitarist and you can hear that throughout this album especially on his solos. Some songs are pretty much standard rock and roll songs but what takes them to the next level is the production and mix of the audience engagement, the enthusiasm of the band and Frampton's guitar talents. This is an album where maybe certain songs were overplayed on classic rock radio but, overall, this album sounded pretty good today.

it’s really pretty, just good live rock.

I had never heard this album. I'd heard OF it, of course. From the time I was old enough to have any pop culture awareness, it was thrown in my face as the pinnacle of live rock excess. The suburban cul de sac of wah pedals and extended guitar solos. So hearing it for the first time was revelatory. I can barely tell you what any of the songs were about, or what their individual titles are. But the sound quality, the performance, the showmanship - it's all there to be appreciated.

Man Cassandra has good taste. I know this album was omnipresent in the 70s and some people resent it for that fact but I love it's whimsical, frenetic energy. Favorite track: (I'll Give You) Money

Solid jams, this has a lot of classic songs that have become staples of the genre.

Surprisingly likeable, understood the value of chorus and simplicity

I was preparing myself for another 70s album and actually enjoyed it more than expected

No private session used for spotify. This album gets a lot of hype, rightfully so, but with a lot of albums and bands that get a lot of hype it has a lot to overcome. I like this album, it's a classic, but I don't see me listening to it on heavy rotation.

You might not like it but this is what 70s rock excess looks like.

Show me the way Baby, I love your way Klasse Songs dabei!

Ich bin eigentlich kein grosser Fan von Live-Alben, meist will der Funke einfach nicht so richtig überspringen, und der Vibe, den man live im Raum spürt, geht auf der Platte oft verloren. Bei Frampton Comes Alive! war ich deshalb eher skeptisch. Peter Frampton selbst war mir bisher kein besonders geläufiger Name, und ich konnte mit seiner Musik zunächst wenig verbinden. Überraschenderweise haben mich dann aber ein paar Stücke doch erwischt. „Baby, I Love Your Way“ ist mir gleich aufgefallen – ein Song, den ich schon kannte, ohne zu wissen, dass er von Frampton stammt. Er hat diese weiche, warme Stimmung, die sofort hängen bleibt. Auch „Jumpin’ Jack Flash“ hat mir gefallen, obwohl das ja ursprünglich von den Rolling Stones ist. Frampton bringt hier seine eigene Note ein, ohne den Charakter des Originals zu verlieren. Richtig überzeugt hat mich aber „Do You Feel Like We Do“. Das Stück zieht sich über mehr als 10 Minuten, aber keine Sekunde wirkt zu lang. Hier kommt die Energie eines echten Live-Konzerts tatsächlich rüber, das Publikum, die Improvisation, die Talkbox-Gitarre, alles zusammen ergibt eine mitreissende Dynamik. Genau so muss ein Live-Track klingen: spontan, lebendig und mit einem echten Gefühl vom dabei sein. Fazit: Auch wenn ich grundsätzlich nicht der Typ für Live-Alben bin, hat Frampton Comes Alive! mich positiv überrascht. Nicht jedes Stück zündet, aber mit Songs wie Baby, I Love Your Way und Do You Feel Like We Do zeigt Frampton, wie viel Charme und musikalische Präsenz ein Live-Auftritt haben kann. Ein Klassiker, der seinen Ruf zu Recht hat.

Great live album, could have used more talkbox! Wasn’t a big fan of the “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” cover, but, the guitar solo on “Do You Feel Like We Do” is great. Highlights: “Show Me the Way” and “Do You Feel Like We Do”

#716. I am pretty sure I've never heard the studio versions of any of these songs. I know a lot of these songs from just hearing them on the radio over the years, but its always been this live version of all of them, I'm pretty sure. 4/5: great

Not bad for a live album, but it's still a live album, too long, and has too much filler. The singles and a couple other tracks are great though. Cut out the filler and this could be close to a 5. As it is, 3.5, but I'll round up because I generally enjoyed it.

Solid 70s rock album.

One of the best live albums of all time. Love framptons guitar style.

Adult rock, but it slaps.

Standouts Doobie Wah Show Me the Way Baby I Love Your Way Do You Feel Like We Do?

Yes, it's good but the singles released from it (especially Show Me The Way) still get so much radio play that it's almost as if Frampton never recorded anything else.

A solid album. There's a lot of nice songs in here, with some good grooves. He's got a good voice, and I like the vibe in general.

70s rock

Pretty standard 70s rock album but it was just done so well. Some interesting and unique instrumentation, mostly just shredding it on the guitar. Enjoyable listen but nothing that blows me away.

84% Best: Doobie Wah; Show Me the Way; Baby, I Love Your Way; Do You Feel Like We Do Must-Hear? Sure

There is no in between, either he’s drowning you in some generic pentatonic soloing coupled with a rock song that lyrical is no more complex than 100 piece puzzle, or… or he’s writing some hits that would stand the test of time and pulling out the stops to deliver a true show. Live albums can be dull or they can be great. This one somehow gives us both. Then comes the song… where he begins with any other tired rock ballad and guitar solo, the piano does a nice little diddy, and then he fucking transports you into the concert venue, the audio quality is absolutely dialed in to capture the pure joy of the crowd and you could see your there when at the 7:45 mark he starts turning a talk box and whammy pedal into the gnarliest mixture or robot orgasm and Krispy Kreme tone you could imagine and proceeds to mesmerize as he exits into a powerful, band backed blastoff. Frankly that song is fucking incredible. It is a 10 on a track of 4s and some 7s singles.

Talk about a time capsule of pure 1970s arena rock magic. Every track hums with the kind of live-wire energy that made stadium concerts feel like communal rites of passage. The talk box solos, the sing-along ballads, the long jams are all nostalgic and still catchy. Let’s be honest, Baby I Love Your Way probably soundtracked more than a few AMC Maverick backseat romances.

A lot of popular and lesser known songs on this, all really good. Good live voice and band.

Iconic tunes, but overall this album is good not great. It definitely has not stood the test of time.

Peter Frampton is a rockstar without the rockstar attitude. His songs here are fun and good, there's a lot of improvisation, good guitar work and talkbox singing going on. This album is also pretty much the best selling live album of all time. It lacks a bit of edge, but it's a fun listen of a pretty generic but competent artist. I really love the hits here, ''I want you to show me the way'', ''Jumping Jack Flash'' and ''Do you feel like we do'' are all certified classic rock staples. The rest here vary from nice to a bit forgettable, but they are all energetic.

Loved it!

iconic live rock

Great tunes thanks!.

I am usually not the biggest fan of live albums (especially long live albums) so I was expecting a listenable but not very good live album by Peter Frampton. I was quite wrong, as I liked this album, it's fun, energetic, well played good hard rock. A bit long with 72 minutes but it was a good listen.

This album has such a hearty reputation. I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but it's ok. It has such a nice feeling, capturing the spirit of an artist at his peak, performing to an audience of eager fans. Frampton had some decent tunes!

fav song: baby, i love your way

I avoided this one a bit because I figured it would be torture. It was anything but. Really enjoyed it and nothing like I expect3d.

Honestly, as much as I want to be a curmudgeon and file this in the increasingly large file of "overrated 70s rock," I found it charming, fun, energetic, and sounding great. Must-listen #191.

4.5

Had to give it a 4 based solely on Do You Feel Like We Do, which was a mainstay on my stoner Playlist back in the college years.

Normally I don't like live recorded albums, this is a notable exception to that rule. Peter Frampton and his supporting musicians were made for live music, and the mixing of the audience coming in and out at borderline cinematic moments make this album a masterpiece. Some of the songs fall a little short, but it's still overall great.

This album exploded out of nowhere. Nobody really knew who Peter Framptom was and then everybody had it. In retrospect it is a very good album with a few great tracks (Show me the Way, Something's Happening, Do you Feel...). I had never heard the "voicebox" effect before. Unfortunately, by today's standards, the quality of the recording isn't very good, but it definitely captures a moment in time for me.

Never heard this whole thing before and it rocks. Insane to me that this was such a hit if his other albums were not. The talk box is really fun, but the hits really do soar over everything else for me. The acoustic? guitar only track was really cool too.

i’ve known of this album for many years so i’m glad this site prompted me to finally listen. obviously super good. great finale

Great sound, amazing guitar, good songs.

That was a fun listen. I like the crowd's enthusiasm

A classic!

Prototypical ‘70s double live album. Solid songs, handful of radio hits. Not something I really go to but still a good album

Nunca ouvi as versões originais (exceto pelo cover dos Rolling Stones), então todas as faixas me soaram ineditamente frescas quando tive contato com o disco, eliminando a resistência que muita gente tem com discos ao vivo. Um álbum energético e vibrante com seu repertório diversificado de vocais ricos, guitarras e violões, harmonias melodiosas e excelente performance dos músicos, Um ótimo disco.

Dig the guitars and vocals. It's been awhile since I've heard this album. Still sounds good. 4/5.

4/5

Classic. Can't say much other than it's considered one of the best live performances ever recorded for a reason.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. Now I understand why it’s one of my dad’s favorites. Excellent musicianship, great vocals, recognizable and fun songs, and wonderful to hear the live audience.

This was a straight up dad music album but I was vibing with it. I haven’t listened to many live albums in the past until I started doing 1001 albums but this is one of the best ones I’ve listened to so far. This album has some standout tracks and covers but overall I felt it was a strong live album that I would listen to again in the future.

Frampton understands his craft and changes the gimmick of his voice box into more than that. He doesn't overuse it, but it becomes part of his toolbox.

I’m a sucker for heady guitar

I feel like this is the only album Frampton is really known for. I kinda groaned a bit when it popped up. But honestly, it's pretty decent. It's rare that a live album garners as much attention as this one. 4/5 #99

Great album

I've been pretty stingy about prior live album entries on this list. However, Frampton Comes Alive is one of the seminal live albums and I do believe it has its place in music history. The whole album has a great mix of hits and accessible deep cuts that make it a fun album from front to back. He perfectly weaves slower ballads with guitar solos, long jams and crowd service for 70+ minutes. It's well deserving of being the best selling record of 1976 and remains relevant to this day. I've always loved this album and it held up even better than I remember on this listen. I've had the pleasure of getting to see Peter Frampton come alive in-person in a church parking lot at Brea Summerfest 2004. He played the majority of tracks and absolutely killed it. He sounded the same as he did from 30 years earlier and still entertained what was a miniscule crowd. One of the most memorable concert experiences of my life was when he pulled out the talk box for Do You Feel Like I Do? to close the night. It's a fantastic album in its own right, but Frampton Comes Alive will always have a special place in my heart for this reason. Well deserved high marks from me, but I'm curious to see how others feel about this specific album. 3.89

One of the greatest live albums of all time. Classic.

The whole album is greatly elevated by the awesome musicianship by guitars and keys in "Do You Feel Like We Do".

Classic

Good album. Lots of live performances

I don't think he needs the talk box... Great playing without it, especially on the last song. Sold tines throughout, totally see why it's such a revered live album.

Great live album.

The only Frampton I've ever heard were the three songs from this album they play on classic rock stations. Those are good enough to push the rest of the somewhat average stuff up to a 4/5. I was curious and listened to the studio version of Show Me the Way, and it was definitely lacking compared to what's here.

Probably your favorite classic rock stars, favorite live album... and for good reason. The honest take of what a live concert should be. Subtle errors, weirdos yelling 'wooo' too much and the ever-present concert friend that insists on storm whistling, for storm whistling sake. Frampton's instrumentals take you on a journey that few rock guitarists can, especially with the talk box identifying his presence. Side note: classmate of David Bowie's.

This was an enjoyable rock album

Oooh baby I love baby I love your way

Enjoyable album! I recognized many! Baby I Love Your Way was on our short list for first dance songs at our wedding so appropriate for it to fall on our anniversary

Just watched Dazed and Confused last night. The soundtrack's inclusion of "Show me the way" and "Do you feel like we do" encapsulates the 70s chill jam vibe this album brings. Love the distinct sound of the talkbox that immediately evokes this album. Also ironic that today is our anniversary, as "Baby i love your way" was one of our finalists for first dance songs.

Classic

Un album de rock clasico increible representa muy bien la epoca en el que fue escrito.

This was a nice experience. This stayed interesting all the way through, and it was a pleasant surprise that I actually knew some of the hits.

Enjoyable live rock album, i like the guitar artistry and some of the melodies in these songs. Always love to hear jumpin jack flash.

прик, сохранил. жаль что нет старой студийной версии, поэтому 4.

7/10

Enjoyed it...good old fashioned rock n roll, which almost always sounds better live.

Fabulous live recording.

Good album.

This is a solid, live album and I think it deserves the accolades it receives.

I'm not a fan of Live albums, but this put me in those 70s house party vibes with the smell of weed and Budweiser wafting in the air while trying to talk with friends over that Frampton guitar. Quality stuff here.

3.5/5. Good live album. Mostly upbeat, happy, sunny rock Guitar vibes. Probably not one I would go back to though.

Monumental live album. Rating: 4.5

Album 756 of 1089 Peter Frampton -Frampton Comes Alive (1976) Rating : 4 / 5 Not too fond of live albums but this one gets a pass. The hits are awesome. The rest of the tracks hang in there just fine. Extra half point just for its standing in music history.

Really awesome

Excellent album. I remember getting high in my friends basement listening to a lot of these songs. He has a sort of jam band vibe to me, maybe it's the live recording, but I really like it. It's really easy to listen to without being overbearing, kind of old guy rock. I'm sure I will be listening to this one many more times.

There’s a joke that this a I’m was assigned to every household back in the day. My brother had a copy, so I didn’t have to get one. But, as far as mandatory listening goes, you could definitely do worse. I can understand why it’s one of the greatest selling live albums ever.
