One of my proudest moments as a parent was pulling into the driveway right after the talkbox solo, getting ready to turn off the engine, and my 9yo son asking me to "wait for the rest of it".
Yes! I actually took my 9 year old son to see him. 10 years ago!
I think this happened when I was 9 when I was with my dad. I'm 51 now!
That is truly awesome.
You have accomplished the majority of your life goals right there my brother... (+1) thank you for handing this down
Your job is done!!
Can we appreciate the fact that Rick nails every single note in a Frampton solo and makes it look easy? Great work, my man.
I’m glad someone appreciates it haha! Thanks!!
Hahaha how is this comment so low? I was thinking the exact same thing. And then says things like "I don't have the chops for it" on other solos. I call bulls*it, Rick.
@@RickBeato All 2M subscribers appreciate it.
@@loosey_lucy I just brought the like total (on your comment) to 100... Seems fitting!
@@RickBeato Killer job as always Rick!! I've been watching the channel for about a year now and absolutely LOVE IT. I was super bummed when I recently realized you're in Atlanta. I'm from Cincinnati but I lived in Atlanta for 7 years. I wish I would have known of you then and had the chance to meet you and even possibly record with one of my 3 bands I was in as a drummer. What part of ATL are you in, if you don't mind me asking? I lived in east Atlanta village and absolutely loved walking into to the Earl on any given night and seeing absolutely amazing local and touring artists as well as catching some of my all time favorite bands at the Earl, Tabernacle, Terminal West, The Basement, 529 (AMAZING local talent there some nights) Variety Playhouse, The Loft, Eddies Attic, and Masquerade (RIP to the old building which was incredible) I miss Atlanta very much and wish I didn't leave often. The music scene has some incredible talent if you really look. If you haven't heard of the Atlanta band Challenger Deep, I HIGHLY suggest you check them out. They're insanely talented and are growing quite a following, rightfully so. Cheer Rick, keep up the great work and thanks a million for keeping me entertained, informed, and learning things I didn't know about some of my favorite artist. You're the man!!!
Apart from the deconstruction of the songs in this series, I think what I really love is seeing Rick completely nerd out on all this stuff! He’s like a child at Christmas!
He’s 14 all over again. One of the many miracles that music gives us.
Love Ricks passion AND his playing!!
especially on the Boston songs. He's in his teenage years when he talks Boston
We all did. Whoo!
Love Rick’s air drumming!
These were my high school years. I didn’t know how lucky we were to have this music.
Frampton is so good because he "leaves space" between licks so that our brains have time to absorb the goodness he just gave us.
This is the most underrated gift he has that only you and I know.
I also think it kind of humanizes the part being played. Makes it seem like it's a conversation more than just some random notes and harmonics that our ears pick up, giving time for the next part to build up a response if that makes any sense.
I appreciate this, as well. Prince, later in his career, specifically on the Musicology tour, did this too. It’s so joyful, sexy, smooth, and it feels delicious!
I agree completely… Same with the way video is shot. Today everything so fast, I hate it!
Guitarists often feel compelled to just rattle off a constant stream of notes at the listener, but sometimes the most dramatic and emotional element a solo are the notes you don't play.
This is the absolute best episode in this series. Nothing can top this one. Absolutely incredible.
Well perhaps he could get Paul and Ringo on the show while they're still with us to review a making of A Day In The Life?
WOW , that was fantastic Rick !!!!! I've been Rockin to this song since high school days and your breakdown of it was E
@@ivanjulian2532 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!
I fully agree, especially hearing Peter himself talking about the song. Along with Rick explaining all of the details and intricacies I’d never notice on my own.
One of my favorite songs explained is a huge treat.
I totally agreed with this…. until Rick did the comfortably numb and bohemian rhapsody haha
Every once in a while you find content that justifies the existence of the internet. This is one of those times. So much more than a video about music. And Peter Frampton, a genius for sure, but what an awesome guy!
SO TRUE!
@Dzz Zz Thanks for sharing that! I love these stories because I was born in 1980 and missed the golden age of rock. Still lots of great bands in my lifetime, but I would give anything to see the original lineups of the Who and Zeppelin, for example. I did grow up with a landline though. :)
Frampton is a highly underrated guitarist. The man was a prodigy as a kid and a monster player and a Guitar God.
Underrated? Are you kidding me? You're just not recognizing the love people have for him... Underrated...
@@klimber10001 The misuse of that term drives me absolutely nuts
@@thomaslemon3971 Oh man, me too.....
And me three!
Underrated?!?! He was all over the radio from 1976 to 1980!
Frampton is the quintessential cool cat. Very gracious of him to give two interviews to Rick, which makes me like him even more.
Frampton is proof that a great R&R musician can grow old gracefully and not lose his marbles. Often, they either burn out before 30, or get fat and dough-headed and look twice their age.
Always cool! A very gracious and humble mega talent! Always felt that he got screwed by the record industry, after producing one of the biggest mega albums of the ‘70s!
@@brahmburgers Living well, I suppose! Not becoming alcoholic or drug addicted definitely helps!! That’s always been the curse for musicians, singers, artists…
I'm right with you on that one @Rick Renshaw... perfectly said
He is truly a great, “real” guy!
I already hold this tune in high esteem. Listening to Rick examine the individual elements while Peter Frampton adds commentary is in my opinion, an example of just how good the Internet could be.
There's a reason why Rick has 2.18 Million subscribers. This series is genuinely good. A lot of super advanced terms but not so much that non musical folks, like me, will get lost.
Agreed. I can play piano and am desperately trying to learn guitar... Every time I lose hope I watch a Rick video and it gets me back in the mood for playing. So cathartic too to watch/hear people nerd over this kind of stuff like Rick :-D
Now add another 1 million Oct. 2022. 🙂
Susan
I get lost but don't care.
Episode 100 - I am speechless, except to say this is a breakdown to beat all breakdowns of probably the most amazing live rock song ever. Thank you to Peter Frampton for the song, and to Rick for giving it even more deserved recognition with superb analysis. Wow!
I remember playing along with that song on my Les Paul Custom and thinking. "I wish I had hair like Peter Frampton." Now I do.
And now Peter has almost no hair.
Just saw Peter Frampton last summer in the ATL and he is such a great musician. His library of music is so huge.
This was his last song. And
it was fantastic . Also saw him when this album launched back in the day. Long hair and all. I had posters t shirts...LOVED him. This is probably my favorite tune of all time. Great breakdown Rick. Probably gonna watch this again.😉
In 1977 I had hair like Pete did back then. And now in 2021, I also have hair like Pete has now. LOL
@@downlow0075 Me too, or neither?
Hair club for guitarists?
You know it's great when I'm getting excited watching Rick get excited about a 45 year old song that we've all heard a million times. Great video.
Agreed!
Goes to prove both just how hughe the artist and the song portrayed are, and how great is the delivery by the teacher. Both incredible musicians who love and breathe rock and roll. Who's not gonna like this?? 🎸🎸
I knew at the time Frampton was breaking ground with what he did on that live album, blew my mind how they flowed so seamlessly through all the modulations and solos. 45 years and it doesn't get old, it's why I love what Rick does to peel back the tunes layer by layer, describing and explaining each one
Only a million?! 😉👋
Watching it right now. EXCITED!!! I don’t know if I’m more excited for all of us fans or for Rick Beato@!!!
“So I DMed Peter Frampton...” reminds me of when Rick casually mentioned reaching out to Eric Johnson for the Stairway guitar solo video. I definitely need cooler friends haha.
We all need cool friends like this.
Yea, but Rick already did an interview Peter, so they had a direct contact. It's a bit less surprising than 1st joint video or "I wanna introduce [...] my good friend mr Steve Vai" in 1st Sounding Off. The man certainly has some legendary contacts =D
@@OmateYayami You make a great point there and legendary is a very appropriate word in this case haha.
Dinner with Joni Mitchell…I am SO happy I stumbled on his channel!
I don't understand 98% of what you're saying, but I love 100% of it.
Remember playing this as a kid. I rocked that tennis racket like nobody's buisness
Same here. I could never play guitar or string instruments. I play saxophone, as a kid I would learn some guitar solos like this on my sax. Been dying to meet Peter Frampton since childhood.
Amateur. Tennis rackets are easy. We used 18 inch rulers like a pro.
And doing the tube sound in front of the fan
"Do You Feel Like We Do" is, to me, the greatest live recorded song I've ever heard. What people don't talk about is that the audience is one of the instruments being played on the live recording. What I mean is that the audience and the band are so incredibly in sync, they rise and fall at Frampton's commands, they are being led as a unit through the rises and falls throughout the song and then the incredible roar at the end that they left in for 45 seconds after the music stops. My hair still stands on end when I listen to it. When I have an ear worm stuck in my head (because I always have music playing in my head) I play this song because it usually erases the ear worm. And I think why Peter Frampton is so loved is he seems like just a normal guy (not a rock star), self effacing, friendly, kind...i'm sure he's treated warmly by anyone whether they know him or not.
Gotta agreed with all this! Best of all time.
Good point about the audience reaction! I always want to yell and scream along with them! The recording REALLY makes me feel I’m part of that audience!
@@Geezer-yf8hv Okay, I'll stick my two cents in.
Senior in HS, my buddy said we are going to the Frampton concert.
Mershon Auditorium Columbus Ohio this tour before "Comes Alive" is released for sale.
You know that spot in this song I believe before the juice harp riff starts and the crowd seemingly erupts.......
Peter takes a 'bowl' from the front row and pipes up a couple of huge hits.
Awesome concert, special piece of recorded history.
@@u2mister17 Dude!! Sounds so awesome! I was a little younger and missed this! Just like I missed Pink Floyd coming to my town in ‘77, for the Animals tour! ( Not knowing it would be my last chance to see the Original Pink Floyd lineup)! My very first concert was In Late ‘77.. Kiss!!! But they had this unknown warm-up band called AC/DC!! They stole the show for me, (since I passed out very soon after Kiss started)!!! Damn, I’m embarrassed, I was so inexperienced and got so fucked up so fast!!
@@Geezer-yf8hv I know I grew up at the best 20 years in history of Humankind.
10 when cars became '65.
14 when we landed '69.
16 Free love '71.
18 Oh... the Music was piling up.
Motorcycles, cars, extraordinary friends and travel excursions. Man never a dull moment.
killer rhythm section,,,,killer solos,,,,,killer production ,,,,killer arrangements !!!!!!! AS OF 03/10/2021 HOW MANY PEOPLE THINK PETER FRAMPTON BELONGS IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,,,give it a thumbs up!!!!!!!! brilliant analysis by rick beato!!!!!!! frampton comes alive is PROBABLY the best live album of all time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember- Frampton was a dynamite member of Humble Pies' ALSO great live album!!👍
While I agree that Peter Frampton deserves to be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame, unfortunately thumbs upping your comment is not going to do it
@@swampk9 unfortunately you are correct!
PETER FRAMPTON BELONGS IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME
Ridiculous that he’s not in the hall of fame.
Sadly, not many people have the attention span to appreciate 13 min and 46 seconds of pure Frampton genius. Great vid about a great song.
Beyond epic navy. I used to jam bass to this track back in the day. I would play the bass line in track and push my own run fills in and around Peter on my 62 Precision. I basically learned to become a better player by backing Peters genius arrangement.
Absolutely. His solos are so good. I bought the live album in 1976. Still have it
Turns out over a million people had the attention span
Great 100th episode. Funny story... when this album came out I was in college. My dad was into race-horsing and went to a party held by the Gentry Farms for the Keenland Horse Sale in Kentucky. My dad told me he met a really nice guy at the party. He told me he had long hair like me and was wearing a ruffled shirt with his tux. We were talking about horses. We got done talking and I asked him what he did for a living said he played rock music. He said maybe your kids have heard of me. My dad then ask me have you ever heard of a guy named Peter Frampton... Crazy.
This series has changed the way I think about and appreciate music. This channel has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise very challenging year. Thank you, Rick.
After knowing this piece of music for 45 years, hearing those "lost in the mix' parts is like hearing it for the first time all over again!!! Thanks!!!!!
those keyboard parts!! Wow!
And now you can't unhear them, thankfully!
You’re right man.
I agree. I think I've probably heard this song 2000+ times over the years and never really noticed them. What a great song choice for such a notable episode.
Totally agree. In fact, it has inspired me to track down a new vinyl copy of the album.
That whole album is just so freaking phenomenal. The band rocks so hard and so tight and Frampton is a tone and taste monster. On top of that there is the incredible showmanship of his mastery of the talk box. Incredibly influential and I think underrated these days.
Generations later, if they still have these videos, people will be required to watch Rick Biato’s “What Makes This Song Great” series, so that they can understand the artistry AND history of this music.
Rick - these videos are a gift to the future, just as much as these incomparable songs.
I have learnt more about rock music and compositions during these 100 episodes than in 20 years by myself playing guitar :) So yeah... HUGE thanks to Rick. This series is pure gold now and always will be.
Gift to the future! That was PERFECT! Exactly what I was thinking but you put it in words magically!
Damn brother you nailed those solos! I can't imagine an artist alive who wouldn't want this level of breakdown and celebration on their work. You do an amazing job and it is much appreciated.
Also,your special on break down of the Dan.
Well said sir! I loved it too.
Well said @J Paul! I was thinking the same... Rick Beato never fails to impress with his musicianship. A Master if there ever was one.
Little did we realize that in the mid-70's we were living in an embarrassment of riches of the music world. Great video about an incredible song.
“Embarrassment of Riches”…..that really hits home now! So many great artists, albums, and songs. We kind of took it for granted. We have never had as much as we did then! Can’t find it now. Today is a “famine of soulful talent”!
Applies to everything cars...girls whole magilla...its a shitty era today..
@@Geezer-yf8hv it's not just that...theres no reference points..nothing compelling and edgy...men are sort of emasculated..EV everywhere..
@@tommypwood672 The real stuff is out there, but nobody will show it to the masses who crave it! They want to keep it neutered. I guess it makes them look “normal”!
@@tommypwood672 what’s “EV”? I was thinking PC?
14:55 - the sudden break from a wide open rocker to this spacious breath is part of what makes this song so incredible, and it's what we miss in contemporary songs. The song had scope and range and took time to move you through moods. It gave you more than 3 seconds for a mood or break to develop. And that's why it has such power. You can hear the audience scream when it chills out. That's the opposite of what you would expect, but it's natural and appropriate. It's a moment to appreciate where you've been and anticipate where it's going next. And it delivers.
I grew up in the greatest era for pop music ever!
My condolences to all future WMTSG songs. The bar, it's been set, and it's set high!
Well done Rick. Well done!
Agreed. Any Clapton? Or, is he a blocker?
Hell yes. Almost need to go back and redo them all to this level!! Unreal.
check the 95 version ;-)
One thing I love about Frampton??? He is always smiling when he plays. Unlike so many, who look like they are being tortured on stage, Frampton is always smiling and enjoying himself.
the opposite of Joe Walsh who looks like hes in agony. lol
Just like EVH with the smiling.... Peter FEELS every note he plays.
He's a wonderful performance artist, along with being a superb musician.
Agree 100%!!
I was just thinking that.
He and Eddie.
Always happy.
They are So happy when they are playing
I wasn't a big fan of Frampton back in the day for the reasons that so many have pointed out here. My God, I was an idiot. After watching this it pisses me off that I didn't woodshed this entire song in high school. The things I could have learned. Also, you're a scary talent, Mr. Beato. Loving your channel.
You should have seen him (Them) live in concert. Going to the Frampton concerts ,taught me more about lead guitar playing then anything else I could have done, back in the 1970's. Plus I went with my younger brother,he is dead now.But I still have those memories and the knowledge of how to play real hard rock and ballads.Which I've used gigging for the last 40 to 50 years .
Rick! Hey, for quite a while now I have really really enjoyed this series, but you put on a 'tour-de-force' for this one, I can't say enough about how wonderful this deep dive was for me! I've always really appreciated Frampton, his guitar mastery, and this album- but as a 40year+ guitar-hobbyist, i could never quite put my finger on why Frampton's solos were so awesome, nor why they stood out for me. I am blown away by your lick-for-lick demonstrations, such a motivator for an old guy who's hacked away at many a classic without much success. Really cool to highlight Mayo's work, he is now on my short list of under-appreciated keyboardists! And bringing in your friends to highlight the drums and keyboards was sooo enlightening, that really upped the game for me, seeing how talented all the artists were that contributed to Frampton's success. A fantastic 100th episode, I salute your dedication to bringing out the incredible depth of these incredibly talented musicians!
@@KarenDeBiasse Humble Pie
Saw Mr Frampton last night. My God, he still sounds great and what a wonderful human he seems to be. Very humble and such a delight. Rest in peace Bob Mayo....
"Frampton Comes Alive" was one of the 6 albums I bought for my daughter on her 16th birthday, along with Steely Dan's "Aja", Stevie Wonder's "Songs In The Key Of Life", "Ramones" by The Ramones, Thin Lizzy's "LIve and Dangerous" and Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours", as they were what I was listening to at that age.
She's now a classically-trained professional 'cellist, of course...
Thanks, Rick - and thank you, Peter.
Good, Dad! Well done!
My parent's were awesome getting me into albums. My mom urged me into buying Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd as my first cd. My dad gave me Holy Diver by Dio a year or two later.
Long story short, you remind me of my parent's awesomeness! Good job on raising her right!
Great taste in music selections
You gave her the fundamentals. 👍
1976 was an amazing year for rock records, Boston's debut, Eagles Hotel California, Kansas Leftoverture, Rush 2112, Bob Seger Night Moves, and of course Frampton Comes Alive....It was good to be a kid in the 70s!!
Rick, your joy is infectious! Thanks to Peter Frampton for his active cooperation in this video.
Yes Rick, your JOY is amazing and so inspirational!
Smiling to myself knowing that somewhere out there is a young person hearing this for the first time. Thanks Rick.
No kidding! All the more reason that I just simply cannot understand the record labels striking these videos. It’s like they’re saying, “we have enough sales on this song...we don’t need any more.”
And now they feel like we do
I'm 23 :) that's true. And I miss 70' 80' and 90's although I didn't exist then
What a strange feeling! But I like it. And I keep exploring beautiful music of these decades
I love when Rick plays air guitar over the outro with that wicked face! Totally 7th grade. No better tribute to Frampton from his biggest fan.
Rick Beato will never tell you how excellent of a guitar player he is.
He makes it look effortless doesn't he.
Oh he's great. He deserves every one of those amps sittin in his studio
Yes i absolutely love the solo he plays on the episode he was speaking about the band he signed. Sorry can't remember what it wss called but it's unbelievable.
@@em-rg3xf Crowfield is the band and "Cardinal Motion" is the tune. WMTSG episode #95. Or "Why I Don't Talk About My Failed Label" is the original video. Two places to enjoy it! One of my all time favorite melodic solos!
@@ampman5863 yes thanks, everyone should check that one out.
Frampton is what happens when the nicest guy you know is quietly a guitar god.
Extraordinarily underrated and humble player, and an all-around decent human being.
well you started strong, then you dicked out with the "underrated" comment. Do better.
Absolutely ! I saw him on stage in Paris for his farewell tour : a gentle soul+a great performer❤
So out of all the concerts I have been to up to this point in my 68 years. That Winterland concert was and still is the best concert ever. Why? Because I still get tears in my eyes and float back to that moment. Standing in front of Frampton watching as history is being made. Can still hear me hooting and hollering and my husband, at the time, whistling. Just makes me smile. What a memory, I can re-live anytime. Ty Peter.
I saw the same concert in Toronto. Did they have open seating for your venue. Fantastic concert. What a great time to go to concerts.
Denise Hood. I hear you Denise. The same years on the planet. I know the feeling. I did it on the East coast, been amazed with Frampton from my first concert in 1970 - Humble Pie, to every NY show by Peter and band for the next five years. Then we know what happened for him! Oh, the excitement and reward of seeing Peter in 1970, in '75. I know, I hear you.!
@@allergyahead8128 Westerly wind. Yes. Winterland was standing room only. Balcony had seating upstairs. Ur typical indoor arena. Was built for boxing matches, in the early 30s i believe. It was condemned in 78. Plaster was falling from the ceiling. Going to the restrooms u took ur changes. It was a mecca in one of the worst parts of San Francisco. But we luved it.
And remember kids this was all without autotune. Eagles were another great.
We have all been to our share of killer concerts. That stay with us us forever. Didn't see Frampton must have been incredible.
I played this song SO SO loudly on our hi fi that the house shook. I had never experienced such joy at those soaring guitar solos and how he resolved them to bring you back to earth. Just like the great symphonies of Rachmaninov or the blurry beauty of Debussy, this music is to die for.
This is the best music content channel on the internet. I would have murdered to see something like this on TV as a teen when I was first learning guitar, seeing something music related at all on TV was like gold dust, and Rick's just out here putting out this level of quality for free. What an absolute legend.
I think of that often, and remember how my poor old records got scratched from getting moved back over and over for that riff again and again, trying to find the position that connected the pieces... brutal!
Yes, if all this youtube suff was around when I was a Kid I’d be a virtuoso now!
MrConeman. Yeah, very true. And with your comment I am reminded of in the mid sixties how I knew nothing about The Beatles. All we had was the officially released information on the band. I had no idea about the music recording process..compared to now sitting IN the studio with Rick being shown everything. Night and day comparison today to what music information we had available back in those days. Sure I was fifteen, but there was nothing, even if you knew what you wanted. Musicianship should be Booming today with all the info available eh?
Rick Beato has truly become a national treasure. LOL, but you know, it is true. Thank you SO MUCH Rick for these tremendous gifts.
Thank you Paul!
Well said👊👍
It's Christmas, my son had to work 12 hrs today as an ER Tech, my wife is overseas visiting her mom as I could not go because of a Covid protocol, and it hit me... This is an awesome Christmas gift from Rick Beato and all his cool rock & roll friends.
Big Cheers, Big Thank U!
An international treasure, as the music itself seems to be.
One hundred episodes. Unbelievable. What a series. Here's to the next hundred. Keep up the good work Rick, fantastic.
The best part of that song is towards the end when it starts going faster & faster, building & building, getting louder, and the drummer slams his 2 big symbols. That just blew me away when I saw it. Every time I hear this song I turn it up for that part.
The 70’s wouldn’t have been the 70’s without this jam.
I wore out 4 8 track tapes of this album when it was released. I was 17 and I have said it before on other channels - Q106 a radio station here in Michigan used to play on Saturday night at 9 pm a full side of an album and when this was played you could hear it all over town as the kids put the speakers on top of the cars as they drove around. I will never forget that 75 degrees on a night in late May and Frampton making me immortal for one night.
Its such a fun groove.
One of the few songs that when I park I won’t leave the car until the song ends. If I’m late for work it’s a legitimate excuse. Luckily my boss agrees.
🤣
Dude, I remember sitting in my 71' Javelin & being late to class ! haha
My dad passed away suddenly, on March 3 at 76 years old. I discovered your channel tonight by chance, and I wish he was still around so I could share this with him. He was such an avid listener and lover of music all his life. I know he would have loved this channel. He left behind his reel to reel, and many albums that he bought and collected when there were still record stores to be found. Thank you for what you do here on this channel! For me, music will always help me keep my father's memory alive. Hearing you talk about the music he grew up with and loved has been a real special moment. Looking forward to your future work!
I'm so sorry for your loss. 🥺
He likely led you to find it imho
My condolences to you, Christopher. I have to believe that in some way your dad was grooving along with you as you took this in. Wishing you the best!
Nice to see a Daft Punk fan in the comments of a video about Peter Frampton. I love both of their music!
Man, that brought a tear to my eye, i hope my kids will see my old guitars when I'm gone and play the classic rock with a big smile of appreciation like you expressed!
Rick, when I was 16 Years old I would listen to that album over and over trying desperately to distinguish the different instruments. But mostly amazed at the incredible melodies Peter would produce out of that Black Beauty. AT 16 I saved up and purchased my own custom les paul, saved for months then had to have the pickup rings made white. Spent more money having custom work done. Till this day I listen to all of his work and I am amazed at how he could just bang out these incredible melodies doing lead. You are absolutely right about his guitar leads sound like he is singing out the song.
My face melted when Les played the Bob Mayo solo.
Awesome work!
Why am I crying ?! I don’t need therapy. I need Rick to explain to me those songs (and performances) that forged me. So many times, I have rediscovered songs that I have been listening to, constantly, repeatedly, all my life.
Thanks Rick. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You can’t imagine how your hard work reaches out and touches me, and so many other I’m sure. Cheers, MC
Ditto!
Once again Rick's playing deserves a "thumbs up" of its own
the solo where it breaks out after the talk box is truly one of the great moments in rock history.
Yep, it's incredible
Just what I was gonna say....
"Frampton Comes Alive" was so oversaturated on radio in 1976 with Frampton's rise to bedroom wall poster icon, it became easy to dismiss the genius of the album and the brilliance of his playing. So great to hear just the music and his unique heavy blues mastery "come alive" again. Thanks Rick.
I was in my mid-teens when this came out but didn't appreciate it till about 20 years ago. Very well said!
@@kingfish440 Thanks. Rick's analysis was a real Frampton-refresher for me. Just the composition and playing without all the pop culture baggage that made me tune it out years ago.
@@gregorywharrison You said it again. He's an amazing player!
This is one of Rick Beato's best ever. A song that was a musical awakening for many of us. It didn't fit into the 3-minute ditty box. Could you imagine a 14-minute song on the radio today?
It's modal. It's got overtones of jazz improvisation. It demonstrates hair-raising musicianship. So let me ask you: 'Do You Feel Like We Do?'
Rick, you should do a series called "did you realise that" where you interview musicians who did something musically tricky but might have not realised.
I am 61 years old and from Syracuse, NY. Peter Frampton has been blowing mind ever since Frampton Comes Alive came out. That album changed everything. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him in concert twice, 2019 and 2023. He is still just that good.
I've luved Petey Pie since his Humble days with Steve Marriott. I grew up on Rt. 5 between Utica and Syracuse, I think that Joe Bonamassa is the best export ever, from Central NY. Luv the Joe and Pete duet of "My Guitar Gently Weeps" on TH-cam. They were playing on a charity cruise. 🎶💙🎶
@@maryjvanderwerken3192 That’s awesome. They’ve made some of the best music ever.
I especially enjoyed the part about Bob Mayo's keyboard solo. RIP Bob.
No kidding! Seeing it actually played was amazing, it looked crazy hard.
indeed Peter presenting Bob : “Bob Mayo, Bob Mayo” is part of the song. Whoever covers this song must say it even if they don’t have a Bob.
For real. Its a must!
Who could DARE cover this!?? ;)
Not I. Not publicly
Bob’s keys are KEY on that live album... I attended the Peter Frampton concert in Miami... Frampton headlined, the opening acts were Mother’s Finest and Gary Wright, I think it was 1976 or 77. What an epic concert. Peter Frampton is a genius - his whole band was awesome.
My first WMTSG episode. I'm not a musician but I am a long time music fan and have the ultimate respect for musicianship. Many times watching a musician play is an emotional experience that can literally bring tears to my eyes. But hearing your commentary and musicianship is also something extraordinary to me especially explaining actual notes, chords and such. It simply blows me away that anyone knows these things. I know this song backwards and forwards in my mind yet knew nothing about how it's constructed musically. Not to mention just hearing someone else reacting, praising, playing, and breaking down every part of the song. It gives me goosebumps and invigorates me...my endorphins are flowing. After I click the comment button to post this message I'm off to watch another WMTSG episode. Thanks Rick. You're a maestro.
Uh, yeah, what he said. Exactly.
I attended Framptons last tour and it was phenomenal. I was really entertained and impressed. My heart goes out to him with his current situation.
Dear Lord, Les Hall is my new hero. Insane!!!!! WE could devote an entire video on him transcribing that solo to perfection. Unbelievable. Beyond beyond.
Truer words were
never spoken. Les
Hall is mind blowing. 🤯
You can see in Rick's eyes how much he loves this song. His excitement is infectious.
I saw Peter play live at a NAMM after party a few years back. He is a criminally underrated player. Absolutely gorgeous blues. So tasty 🤘🔥
The Doors are good
😂
@@seandog He doesn’t like Jim because he looks better with long hair.
Hardly underrated...
@@streetwiseguitar5113 agreed, maybe underrated to younger people who are hearing this era of music after the fact. But Frampton is definitely well-regarded
Second best guitar solo, next to Tornado of Souls.
Oh my gosh!!! I was listening and enjoying EVERY MINUTE of this dissection of this so great of a song and I have a lasting personal memory of playing this song. I was in a band in Northern California, in the town of Pleasanton/Dublin. I was the drummer in "The Mogul Band" and we were a group that played ALL the high school dances for a few years. One of our guitarists came up with a talk box, at the height of the popularity of this song. This was in the 70's of course. I will never forget that our guitarist was on stage alone and simply said into the talk box: "Do You Feel Like We Do?" and the high school students in attendance, probably around 150 of them, already hyped up because they loved The Mogul Band, at his pronouncement - went crazy and then our other guitarist started playing the signature into riff and the students went even crazier. Well, for the next three hours, The Mogul Band could do no wrong. This is part of the reason about 10% of why I love this song so much. LOL - the other 90% is because it is such a completely great song!!!!! But I was seated at my drums in a very good band that the students loved. My Ludwig set sounded great and my playing was in pretty darn good shape because we were playing so much and consistently rehearsed every Tuesday and Thursday. Our Bass player was a guitar and English teacher at Dublin high, so we got to use the music room for rehearsals. No one in the band brought any drama to the rehearsals or live performances and no alcohol allowed when rehearsing or performing and no drugs of course. I am glad I have such a great memory to enjoy regarding playing this song, that I can still remember, vividly, after about 50 years from when I was playing drums with The Mogul Band and loving every minute.....B.Gardner - Las Vegas
My attention span is horrific - can’t believe I just watched this whole thing - couldn’t take my eyes & ears off it.
Rick, I can’t tell you how much I loved this.
I hear you! Same here.
The end of the song was like he had heard it for the first time. That amazed look on his face. That's passion for a craft.
4 people on a stage, playing together for 1000th time knowing each other's moves filling the gaps. There's nothing better
Rick. It's great to see this again. Your guitar playing of the playing of Frampton is outstanding! At seventeen in 1970 I saw Peter in Humble Pie at Fillmore East, my very first concert. I was a beginning drummer. I saw Every show Frampton did in New York for the next six years. I knew the next song by Peter hitting one note after tuning between songs. I knew every note he played, oh those tremendous and musical solos! Then the Alive album happened, containing all the songs from half a decade performed, again. What a thing, to see Frampton grow and build and conquer and inspire. Wisely, he played every college in the USA, all those kids went home and told all their friends about Peter Frampton! It was a beautiful thing to be a part of.!! And you know every note, and you play them still with great excitement...that is awesome and inspiring Rick! Thank you.💙.
I practically lived at Fillmore East, most of my meals were at Ratner's restaurant nearby, lots of soup. I had the dreaded day job, the cockroaches needed my help paying the rent. I sometimes had to travel for my job, I think that's how I missed Petey Pie @ the Fillmore. One of my big regrets in this life. Of course, I have seen him since then. I was depressed for 2 years when the Fillmore closed. 🎶💙🎶
“Hey everyone, I’m Rick B-“ *like*
You’re a true gem of the music community.
The space between the notes is just as important as the notes themselves.
Absolutely. I would freak out if it was sped up. This song deserves to breathe and unfold the way it does. Pure Genius!
Yes much the same way lines in a movie are spoken,phrasing elevates the notes to a statement from the artist.
I heard a well known (in Music Row) and awarded session guitarist (Brent Rowan) say something like that. His version was, “It’s not the notes you play; it’s the notes you don’t play.” He also said the right hand is more important than the left hand for a guitarist - or at least way under appreciated by guitar noobs. That reminds me of the video Rick had on muting.
Rick saying "THANK YOU!!! GOODNIGHT!!" and the end of the vid was amazing!!! You can just TELL by the look on his face in his mind's eye he was LIVE on stage playing in front of a massive crowd!! PRICELESS!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
DON'T EVER STOP DOING WHAT YOU DO RICK!!! THE WORLD IS BETTER FOR IT!! KEEP MUSIC ALIVE!!!
Never gets old...
How is this possible?
I can listen to his music forever.
My son took me to his live concert when he got into it what a day !
Rick, I've produced hundreds of hours of music for broadcast over the last 30 years, but this video is the coolest thing I've ever seen!
Peter Frampton is every bit the guitar god as his contemporaries Clapton, Page, Beck or even Hendrix. He just came to the party a bit late, and had a bit more pop than blues orientation. But the talent was all there and beyond.
He’s been one of my guitar idols since I first put my sister’s copy of this on the turn table as a little kid. That Leslie sound is just epic. And how often does a idol turn out being a nice guy? Frampton is a monster.
I would rather listen to Frampton than any of those guys
Hes underrated. . But i like page n Clapton. . And Gilmour much more. Just my preference. Not trying to talk trash on him at all.
Well said! Many, if not most of us, were thinking it, and you said it! Coupla things might've been working against him: A) His eventual mega-sales which may have been perceived as "pop sell-out" by many self-described "serious" blokes in the record biz and rock media, and B) his "pretty-boy" looks...he WAS "The Face of '68" according to UK's Rave magazine, an honor not shared by the faces belonging to Clapton, Hendrix, Page, Beck, et al!
Did you just compare Frampton to Hendrix? Go kiss yourself.
That keyboard solo is amazing! Your reaction while the ending is playing is i think the same way everybody reacts to that ending!😄🤗
The prototype of "jam bands" right here circa 1975. Rick's explanation of how Frampton plays with phrasing like a singer or horn player is spot on. The "space" the band leaves for each other creates very patient live tracks, which in turn highlight the audience's role in the performance. Fully comprehensive breakdown of this all time classic THANK YOU!
Frampton Frampton Frampton! You got a love how when he’s talking about development of those moments and songs, he always says we, referring to his band and how they made that music together.
The genius of the song, and the musicianship, is even more remarkable because this is essentially a one-take live performance. Unreal. Talent we may never see again.
And Frampton wrote it the night before they performed it!!
You know Rick is loving a song when he’s air drumming, and saying “woooohh..” with a massive smile on his face..
28:23 - the way it builds then roars out of the spacious solo section is also a huge emotional explosion for the crowd. Dropping into that massive D chord with the Marshall shredding and the voice returning is so powerful. And it is the tension of the spacious section that makes the return to the flat out rock so immense. I miss that kind of songwriting.
Ironically, I find that kind of power and long term 'phrasing' now in the worship music sets we do at church, where you take time to breathe and meditate and then respond with abandon. It's sad that popular music has abandoned it.
Probably safe to say after 6000+ comments, what is yet another one worth? For whatever that is, Thank You so much Rick and Peter. After one hears this solo, through the crowds anticipation, yes we "Do Feel Like You Do" ! Frampton makes this magic happen among the audience and still sucks us in decades later. This channel of Rick's might just spark a renaissance of true music making and appreciation. We NEED this! All the best from Ithaca/Atlanta. Keep going!
The best damn series online. Should be part of TH-cam’s greatest hits. Outstanding as usual Rick. I’ll go ahead and say it, you’re a national treasure!
Peter Frampton is easily one of the nicest guys in music. Love, love, love him live.
As humble a human as can possibly be. It's quite a contrast to the way I thought he was going to be in my mind - rock star on an ego trip. But nope just the sweetest person you can meet. Great sense of humor too.
He is a kind and gracious man
Except when he took a cell phone away from somebody and smashed it into the wall several years ago. LOL
@@kenperk9854 Bad Day?
I would love to hear from Peter "how he feels" about Rick's presentation. I bet he appreciates it as much as we appreciate Peter.
I love that rick says "you wouldn't hear that in a song nowadays" like dude a song nowadays wouldve ended six minutes ago :P
RICK: this is a hexatonic, flat 5, sus 7 super scale
PETER: yeah man, we just played on this part of the neck then moved up 4 frets then moved up another 4
So true lol
Okay, but Peter know exactly what he's doing. He's not just counting frets. He knows those scales just like Rick.
@@darrellstyner0001 yes his humility needs mentioning; remarkable.
"Lines on My Face" followed with "Do You Feel Like We Do" made side four of the Comes Alive album the greatest finale of all time. This was the greatest Live album ever and it was great to hear how it grew into a double album.
Peter is such a classy guy, he has been interviewed on our local radio many many times. A real genuine person and witty. Probably my favorite song, did you ever hear it on an 8 track? It changes track right in the middle!😀
I hated that so much...that little piece of metal on the tape ruined so many songs. It's like intentionally shooting a vinyl LP with a bb gun, then playing it. It's gonna have a hick-up in it.
Met him twice. Very personable, approachable. Genuine nice guy.
@@leegarza3605 Anticipating the hiccup, when it went to cassette, and then to CD I still anticipated the trackjump. LOL
@@UncleHemi When I was a little guy, don't recall how old. Just that it was shortly after the Monkees : The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees was released. My big sister had just gotten it. She'd play it on the family console stereo/record player that was against the wall in the living room. Just above it about 6ft. up hanging on the wall, was a 6"x9" metal framed portrait of my father in his Navy uniform. Anytime someone would close the front door, that picture would swing out just a little bit. On the day that I slammed the door, that picture swung out far enough from the wall that it fell off its hook and landed corner side down on the above mentioned record album, leaving a catseye chip in it (tiny hole on impact side, big hole on the flip) . The song affected by the big hole was unplayable, but the song with the tiny hole only had a hiccup left in it. To this day, I still sing the hiccup version of "Daydream Believer" whenever I hear it...anybody within earshot of me singing along to it usually earns me a "WTF" look because the hiccup only happens once but since it lies on a part that's repeated several times, I employ the hiccup every time! And in case you're wondering, it went like this..."Cheer up sleepy Jean. Oh what can it -HICCUP- to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen".
God your right! I had forgotten that. Drove me nuts when that would happen on an eight track.
Rick is a man hitting his stride doing what he loves... Not many can say they have.
Here's what I love about this series, for 50 years all I've heard in most music were the vocals and lead guitars. The rhythm section and all other components of a song were completely lost to me. I've finally come to appreciate all the players in a band and how they interact and play off of each other to create the perfect songs. Thank you Rick for the education and for opening my ears to all the music I've grown up with.
Totally agree. It's totally changed my life. Music means so much more to me now. I hardly ecer watch tv. I listen to music all the e time.
This song makes me so happy. It's like taking a ride on a musical roller coaster. There are a lot of long songs that are practically concertos in their own right that just don't flow the way this one does. I love Rush's 2112, for example, but every part of it feels like it's very much a separate work. This thing is one big song *and still feels like one song the whole time.*
I was thinking the same thing....the greatest rock concerto of all time
I will never forget the first time I heard this on the radio. And the first time at Grandma's house where my uncle had purchased the picture vinyl - watching Peter's face spin as this magic was coming out of the speakers. As many times as I played this on the radio myself and listened on my own I never stopped and appreciated ALL the elements that went into this masterpiece. After watching this video it explained what I FELT listening to this song. The buildup, the guitar breaths, the lead into the end. Great work helping me understand why I've always loved this song and music in general.
Nobody talks about how AWESOME that bass is! Oh, the self control.... As a bassist, to stay SO grounded where all those amazing solos are happening, and being such an awesome bassist, the urge to add a cool lick ion the middle of those harmonies is so strong. But NO, SIR! He keep it simple, solid, consistent, right on spot. You might think that is an easy thing to do, but as a bassist I can tell you: The self control to be THAT solid is amazing. So awesome! That bass line is what makes the rest shine. What an awesome chapter! A well deserved song for an awesome Episode 100. Thanks, Rick!
exactly - I loved how he pipes in perfectly in those "breaths" Peter left - surprised that was not mentioned.
I agree. And the tone on the bass is just so badass.
Im a guitar player and Ive been playing Frampton since 78' but, lets not forget like Jack Bruce; Mr. Sheldon is playing a fretless!!!
I met that dude, used to work with him about 20 years ago (Mars Music). Stanley, if you're out there - you never told me you played on the Cheech and Chong "Up In Smoke" movie!
And, dayum !
That keyboardist who learned that part in 2 days.
Dayum!
OK Rick. THIS is the BEST “What Makes This Song Great?” You have ever done. Incredible, I loved every second of it.
What he said, in spades. Awesome insight. Just another GREAT song from the era of talent. The insights Rick exposes are a master class in music appreciation. Grabbing my guitar now...
YASSSS !!! I am re living hearing this tune for the first time LOUD and riding the excitement roller coaster. All these little details create those “musical surprises” that are just so engaging / INTENSE AF.
This feels like a demo of the full potential of "what makes this song great?" And i love it. Amazing job
I was just thinking that this one is ricks masterpiece. I just loved every bit of it.
These master musicians from the 70's laid down such a huge foundation for the rest of music history. So much epic music came out of this decade.
The 30s-60s laid the groundwork then the 70s just were the pinnacle where the musicians took the blues, jazz, folk, classical that came before and created absolute masterpieces. It was an amazing time to live through. There were literally iconic songs coming out almost every week in the early 70s.
I always really liked this song by Peter Frampton comes alive.
In the analysis, I think it is one of the best you have done and I congratulate you, for your professionalism and your great sense of music and all that love that you show towards the work of the great musicians.
I always dreamed of seeing how those solos were made and how the scales would be and what the movement of the fingers would be like to be able to do those solos.
And you are one of the best in the world explaining that!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to go back to my 14 years when I listened to Peter Frampton and I imitated his guitar with a broomstick.
Thank you!
The solo shows that Debussy was right, ~music lives in the spaces between the notes~
Jon Anderson seems to know this as well: ~The time between the notes relates the color to the scenes.~
Somthingalotofmodernguitaristsjustdon'tunderstandandjustgospeedyfastbecauseitseemseasiertotrainmusclememorythantocomposesomthingbeautiful.
nailed it
Amen and a half @dav ep. I'm actually cracking up because you made the point so well by taking out the spaces in your last sentence. Next time I need to make that same point, I will remember your wisdom gladly
I didn't know Debussy said that. But I do remember when the late, great Malcom Young said (and hear it in your mind's eyes, with his notable Aussie accent) "The rock is in the pauses.".
@@timmahoney2541 Cool. So either great minds think alike or Debussy was an AC/DC fan ;-)
@@davep8221 When i read Your comment, which is so very essential in ALL communication and expression, it literally triggers the 'natural' idea within.
Then You last line [ofthecomment], initiated A HUGE 🤣!
Thank You Much 😆
I've heard this song hundreds of times and yet Rick has refreshed it again for me. I couldn't help grinning ear to ear by the end of the episode and then immediately playing the song again because I was loving the groove. Thank you Peter for your awesome talent and for supporting Rick. Thank you Rick for continuing this series which makes me appreciate music even more.
+1
This is why no record company or artist should ever demonetize Rick’s work. Everything he does, any of these youtubers, drives me to artist’s original work to listen again and again. Why wouldn’t a record company want that kind of marketing?
"Everybody in the world has Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs, you were issued it."
I think Wayne said that too. Rock on Garth!!
Yea, but does everyone have Breaking All the Rules or Art of Control? Great playing on those studio albums
We got in the mean streets of Chicago too.
"Wow. I bet those guys actually have pacemakers."
I have the Vinyl, CD and CD (special Edition)
This is the greatest solo of all time. Especially the last part. Totally rips it. Get goosebumps every time!
