Amazon.com Frampton Comes Alive! jettisoned Peter Frampton out of relative commercial obscurity into the bankrolls of success. The album sold millions on the strength of two melodic singles--the rocking "Show Me the Way," and the slower, romantic "Baby I Love Your Way." In traditional 1970s form, the double album also had the prerequisite concert signature song. In Frampton's case it was the lengthy "Do You Feel Like We Do." Introducing Frampton's "talking guitar"--which was nothing but a primitive version of a voice modulator--the song became his calling card, complete with his marathon guitar solo and big rock ending. There's also an iffy version of the Stones' "Jumping Jack Flash," that is basically disposable. In terms of "sides," the double album manages to turn in at least one and a half sides essential to Frampton's rock and roll legacy. The rest is mediocre at best. --Steve Gdula Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThe title says it all! andy8047 | Nokomis,Florida | 10/31/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "To date,this is the biggest-selling live album of all-time. I went through two copies of this album,one cassette and one 8-track tape. As a destructive child,I removed the magnetic tape from the outer shell of the cassette. The 8-track tape was sold at a garage sale I had years ago. Peter Frampton was promoting FRAMPTON while recording this album. This album was released in early 1976,so this concert was recorded sometime the previous year. Frampton,late of Humble Pie,was driven to superstardom with this album. His 1977 follow-up I'M IN YOU,shows Frampton on the cover displaying his masculinity,thus making him a teen idol. This album spawned three hits,SHOW ME THE WAY,BABY I LOVE YOUR WAY and DO YOU FEEL LIKE I DO?. He covers the Jagger-Richards classic JUMPING JACK FLASH. I really love BABY(SOMETHING'S HAPPENING) which opens this album. Other electrifying live albums that I love are Bob Seger's LIVE BULLET and NINE TONIGHT,the Bee Gees' HERE AT LAST and ONE NIGHT ONLY,Billy Joel's SONGS IN THE ATTIC,KOHUEPT and 2000 YEARS:THE MILLENIUM CONCERT and Elton John's LIVE IN AUSTRALIA. When this album was released,Frampton was in the limelight with A&M Records labelmates The Captain & Tennille whose album LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER was on the pop/rock charts at the time as well. Many classic rock fans will love this album,if they don't already own it. When the compact disc became increasingly popular in the mid-80's,this album debuted on the CD. Because this was Frampton's all-time best-seller,none of his other albums were on CD back then. Now they're all available,digitally remastered,on CD,including this album. A 25th anniversary deluxe edition of this album was released in 2001."
