Synopsis

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?" This 25th-anniversary remastered package features three previously unreleased tracks from the source shows, plus an additional selection recorded at the time as a radio promo. --Lorry Fleming

Top 2 live performer of the 70s

"By dumb luck, I happened to see Frampton three times in a mater of a few months when he was taking off. Some friends who had seen him live were ecstatic about him, so we piled into the car and off we drove on three road trips, time well spent.



At American University in DC, Spirit was the warm up band followed by Frampton. We were center stage, something like row ten.



Each concert, Frampton blew me away, I had already seen everyone worth seeing with good seats. Frampton Comes Alive is a gross understatement, "Frampton Dwarfs all other Live Performances" would be more accurate but I can see where the PR guys might have trouble marketing it.



Barring the invention of a time machine, Comes Alive is as close as you can get; unfortunately, the magic Frampton had on stage can never be put into a package. Frampton's vocals, voice box and his guitar were three working as one.



To find a concert date, check out his web site; he still tours. I'm sure he can still make a guitar sing.

The other top two live band, which I had very very low expectations for, was Jefferson Starship with Grace Slick and Marty Balin at the Capitol Center in Maryland.



My date wanted to go, so I sucked it up and contemplated how I would look interested for three hours at a concert I didn't want to hear. The date was a bomb, the concert blew me away from the opening curtain to the last note.



The stage magic between Slick and Balin, unfortunately, can not be put into a bottle either. Two as one."
