Decades after its 1976 release, FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! seems like an anomaly, with its unusual genesis almost impossible to believe. Peter Frampton, guitarist for a modestly successful boogie band (Humble Pie), released several solo records that were almost entirely ignored. However, he spent years crisscrossing the nation`s sports arenas, opening for everyone under the sun, until so many people had seen him in America`s hockey rinks that his double-LP live record became one of the most successful rock albums of all time.
Listening to the whole record--not just the three pop-rock gems that immediately became FM radio staples ("Show Me the Way," "Baby, I Love Your Way," and the talkbox-enhanced jam "Do You Feel Like We Do")-- it`s clear that its success is due to Frampton`s road-tested mastery of the sweetly melodic material, which didn`t rock this hard on the original studio recordings. Of course, FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! also won over a legion of fans with its classic rock-god album cover. Any way you look at it, FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! is a classic for a reason.
