Peter Frampton's performance at Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special, circa 1975. This is the full version, unlike the other ones floating around, with the end missing
My sister had his poster on the wall when I was a kid...she took me to my first concert and then many more...she died last month but this song reminds me of her. RIP Lisa
Hold on to those memories man. So sad to hear that he is having to call it a day but is doing one last tour. Can I say by the way that Frampton ROCKED!
Just saw Peter last night in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is now 73 years old and I am here to tell you, the dude has not lost a step! His voice, guitar playing and band were on point! This may be his last tour playing live. See him if tou can. You won’t regret it!
I get to set up his show here in Orlando on Friday. I've worked in the music biz for 40 years but have never got to work or see his show. Friday ends that.
I thought he’d already retired in ‘19 because of health problems? Wow is all I can say and lucky you!! Glad he’s doing better! Could still kick myself for missing him in Tulsa on farewell tour. Saw him in ‘76 promoting this album with Gary Wright and Santana…whew!
You have good taste in music. Classic and Progressive rock have generated so many legendary talents. Keep hunting, TH-cam is a GOLD MINE of amazing live performances.
Almost 50 years later and 23 million views. Every time I pull up this video it brings tears to my eyes. I could hear my dad blaring this in my living room and me telling him to turn it down so I can play my video games. Unfortunately, my dad passed away a year ago next week and I wish I could’ve appreciated this genius with him together. I know he’s looking down smiling saying “I told you it was great music!!”
🥲 same here. I would love to go back in the mid 70’s e en for just a day! Omg I miss those days. Sometimes I think we were better off back then. We had to use our actual imagination. But now, everyone has a phone in their face. It’s been crazy watching all this happening in my life time.
In 77 I quit my high school wrestling team, grew my hair and learned how to play the guitar because of Frampton and have no regrets. 🎸 I felt like he did and still do.
takes me back ..... I was stayig with freinds. we were up late and had been told several times to go to sleep. when thier dad came in to shut off the tv for the last damn time, this was on.both parents ended up watching peter play the whole song before the tv got shut off, at one point they were dancing.... good times.
You had to have this record. Frampton comes alive. No matter which way your music taste was inclined. Country , soft , Heavy , classic, pop , even progressive . You had this record . And you played it over and over . This man was so big back in the day .
This song brings back memories of my teenage youth. I am an an old man now but looking back at all the great bands and singers we had in the 70's, 80's & 90's I am so glad I was privileged to experience all of them. Real Music, no auto tune no trickery.
I get the point you're making but I can't help but laugh at the irony of your last statement there. No autotune or trickery, this song being one of the first examples I can think of using exactly that. The vocoder is like the grandfather of autotune.
Man those were the days. Every Saturday nite at midnight. Every band you could think of would go on that show. They played live. Other than the album covers it was the only way we could see who they were. So many great memories. I really wish young people today could time travel back and see what the 70s were like. Believe me, you won’t wanna come back here
I’ll never forget watching Alice Cooper on The Midnight Special in 1975. I used my allowance to buy “Billion Dollar Babies” and life was never the same 😊✌️
as a younger person, I've always enjoyed older music and this song is one of them, Peter Frampton is awesome. I really wish I was alive for the golden age of music.
Thanks for your nice comment and for your love and support that has brought me this far kindly message me via Hangouts through my emails that will be indicated below endeavor to add your name because I don't reply unnecessary messages. Hangouts: official.peterframpton.connect@gmail.com
@perkita seaman can you not read? The comment from Doyle said don’t email the Framptin link it’s probably cyber crime. So she responded to him, yeah the comment is not in proper English. She wasn’t responding to you at all. She even tagged the Doyle guy, not you! Please pay attention!!! Or go outside and kick rocks!
I saw Peter Frampton when I was 17 in 1975 at a concert in Sacramento with Rod Stewart and Loggins and Messina...got some cool pics too albeit from a 110 Kodak camera but still cool for back them :)
@@williamshivers7173 Apparently these are the golden years, i wonder as i hurt all over too. Shouldn't have worked so hard as a young guy, saved a little for later but, who knew?
Midnight Special was always simulcast on radio where I was (SF Bay area) so we always cranked the stereo and turned off the TV sound. They sounded great!
Saw him at the Capitol theatre in Passaic, NJ, sometime around 77', played the live album note for note, word for word, it was just Ok. I wasn't really impressed at the time.
I was 15 then....16 when Frampton Comes Alive was released....this WAS my teen years....EVERYBODY knew and loved Framtpon...he played non-stop everywhere and for good reason... Damn! I'm 62 and this track still ROCKS me!
there is NO way technology can replace sticking an amplified guitar in your mouth to replace your vocal cords. This is the pinnacle, there is no evolutionary replacement. Sheer GENIUS.
I made one of those talk boxes with a speaker horn, some 1/2 inch plastic tubing and a wooden box. Provided me with hours of entertainment on my electric guitar. Peter Frampton is one of the greats.
I can vouch for the fact that this album was perhaps the most popular of all, at least in the US high school scene, despite that being a historic year for music, with so many awesome albums (including Boston's debut) in so many genres.
Ain’t that the truth! I remember saving up my allowance for this album and I didn’t realize at the time it was extended version as they only played the short version on the radio. Yes, those were great times. This album sold several million very quickly. I think I’ll Google Frampton because for some unknown reason he fizzled out fairly quickly and I never understood why.
This goes out to my friend Allen Swanson, 1977 he rides his Honda street bike over, leather boots with tassels, cool ass glasses on, long hair flowing. Hands me a copy of Frampton comes alive. I was 10, he was 15 and to me the coolest dude on earth! They found him dead in a ditch after a bad drug deal, I keep his memory alive by playing this record. To Allen!!
Alexander Land He literally has the number 4 most sold live album of all time. I can assure you, plenty of people know how amazing of a guitar player, singer and composer Frampton is; he’s definitely not underrated from a recognition standpoint
@@migueldelatorre1431 A lot of people understate his talent though. He's usually named later when talking about guitar legends, at least in the conversations I've had.
My dad first introduced me to this as a kid back in the 90's. I'm 38 now and he is late stage Alzheimers. Coming back and listening to this brings back good memories.
U right. U have to see it to believe it..... Iam 71 and still live in the 70's...easy smooth life with lot fashion💄💋👠👝💍 and good outdoor life great music!!!! I had no fear walking👣 down the streets of CHICAGO....
KOZ-WTF NATION RADIO 🤣 the fuck are you talking about? He quite literally had the best selling live album of all time (Peter Frampton Comes Alive 1976). It stayed at number 1 in the charts for like 10 weeks straight the year it came out. He also won album of the year with a Rolling Stones audience poll - also in the 70’s. Only place he apparently hasn’t been recognized is the music hall of fame but fuck that circus show Even today he’s touring everywhere and selling out venues... He’s an icon
@@migueldelatorre1431 I hear u bro I see on TH-cam where some of these idiots say an artist or actor or athlete is underrated using the word in the wrong context here's two examples somebody said will Smith was an underrated rapper of course he won the first rap Grammy and recorded some of the most iconic rap songs of all time with summertime and the men in Black and recent somebody said Eddie Murphy was an underrated comic when of course he saved snl ratings and is one thing f the biggest box office draws of all time
Yes,he is. I saw him back in 1978, and just 2 summers ago (40th year Anniversary Tour), at the Tent in South Boston. He was incredible back then and still is now! I remember this TV show.We used to watch this, and Don Kirschner's Rock Concert. Quality television before cable was introduced!
Thank you Peter. I'm so glad you liked my comment. It means a lot to me. We loved you then as we remember our own youth growing up!. And we love you today as we age with you. With your music and your legacy. THANK YOU PETER.
Ire member purchasing this tape from best buy. Guy behind me getting his kids stuff said Framton kicks ass, b4 I could reply register girl said damn straight! I just smiled.
Frampton is one of the most underrated guitarists in rock history!His guitar in the last 2 minutes sounds like a piano-one note flowing and melding into the next.
Frampton Comes Alive is one of my all time favorite guitar albums. Frampton is one of the few(Santana excelled as well) who could play great wild stuff, and great slower music(Lines on My Face).
Yes, I was 18 years old when this song came out. I remember my girlfriend was frenching the daylights out of me to this tune. I miss you Dianne, were ever you are! 🇨🇦
@@flstffatboy3910 so you were there too? When he had a moment, and half the crowd left? We stayed. A quick ride to fame could be rough on a young person. The guy I was dating played guitar and he really liked Peter
I saw Frampton in 1975 when I had just turned 17 years old. First Concert my parents let me attend. UFO then Fleetwood Mac opened for Frampton and it was a warm summer day "on the green" at Oakland. I've seen a LOT of Concerts since that day, but I will NEVER forget it. Friggin' great memories!
I saw him on that same tour! I was in Chicago though. That was a great show. Can you believe Fleetwood Mac opened for Frampton? What a great memory. Thanks for reminding me :)
This appearance on Midnight Special was before the release of Frampton Comes Alive--this intimate audience got to preview Peter before he headed to enormous venues just a few months later.
These Midnight Specials were awesome to watch when i was a teen. They got the musicians just when their songs with riding UP the charts...not after they had played them a few hundred timesand do so just with tired vocals and licks. Awesome.
I discovered Aerosmith by way of "The Midnight Special" & my crush Steven Tyler ;) They sang "Dream On" & was over the moon. The show was a must see every week. Real bands, real music; real talent..
My sweet big brother (RIP Tony❤️) turned me on to Peter Frampton in the late 70’s…this song was epic then and epic now. They surely don’t make music like this anymore.
THIS! What charisma! Frampton was the GOAT with his Phoenix and talkbox and everyone was blown away. So glad I was able to ride that wave when it happened.
I agree with you 110%. We were both living our lives at a time when we were 'witness' to the BEST in rock and roll in the 1970's. so many great groups emerged. Genesis, Supertramp, Boston, etc....
Agree with you ❤️, what a great era for terrific music and free spirited life even if you were working ....life just flowed and I don't think it was our foolish youth!
@@brentsarazin6597 ... I was alive at the times of 1975 - 1979 in my teenager years. I think Roger Waters took an irrelevant Pink Floyd band up to 1977 and creatively mastered the hard rock albums "Animals" of 1977 and "The Wall" to become relevant in heavy metal I think Rolling Stones told Pink Floyd in 1975 they were playing melodic rock only for aging audiences. Everything in music 1975 to 1979 started to become new envelope pushes for rock groups to become relevant. I can't even get Foreigner's "Feels Like The First Time" or "Head Games" very much relevant as many other heavy metal music artists let alone Disco artists, Country artists, Punk Rock artists in synth music, etc. of 1970s 2nd half decade inspired by music up to 1975.
This tune defines an era...so much to live for then, life was bitchin...a vivid moment of time...the true good times of ROCK culture. Man, I'm grateful to have experienced this radically creative era.
Zep's Physical Graffiti in late '75 tops my list for that era. Though there are many able worthy contenders from then for faves, since it is subjective to each of us.
I believe the crowd is feeding off his energy and he is feeding off of theirs I was 10 when this aired and snuck out of bed to watch it in our living room, I was blown away and before you laugh remember I was 10, I am 55 now and still love this
This was a golden era for rock music at it finest . It can’t be overstated just how brilliant a guitarist and songwriter Peter is . Thank you my friend for all the years of amazing music 🎵🎶🎵👌
Went to the show in Concord California...mind blown! Both were amazing always wanted to see Frampton and was not disappointed. I didn’t realize how many songs Steve Miller had that I love, he was was incredible and was a great story teller.
not all played fully live...alot of acts on that show did canned music w/a live vocal. don kirshners rock concert...all those acts performed 100% live...and most if not all those clips are on here/youtube, see for yourself.
After watching multiple clips from this badass show, I haven't noticed anyone give major props to the producer. The camera shots are just what musicians are looking for. Like anyone, they stick on the lead singers a bit much, but still it's fantastic production. Sound mix is almost always on point as well. Obviously the musicians kick ass... Just wanted to give kudos to the production team.
so true! during the talkbox part they superimposed the guitar over his face so you really can see the union of voice and guitar on screen, genius! the drummer could've got some more screentime but he was carrying the song in the background....as we do. ;)
This is the only fellow to whom I asked for an autograph in my life. I had this opportunity some 10 years ago in my hometown, Rio. And he gave it to me with a humble and happy smile, for which I will be forever grateful. In my opinion Peter is one of the top 3 Rock & Roll stars of the last 50 years.
So true , Rafael !!! Frampton Rules !!! Check out ," Doesn't Matter Where Or When ," an original rocking song and video on my site . Thanks , Adam Holtz
Looooooved the talk box.... 1st time we heard this ....we were sooooo ripped... we literally freaked out .... and I still get giddy 40 some years later... just not ripped.... lol
Peter, get better... Don't Stop Fighting. You are an Icon of our days... I was just talking about your music with a friend... How WE don't get music like then...... I used to lay down on the floor to do my homework in my bedroom and your music was always playing... ... Get better... 74 (soon,) is still young❣️❣️🙏❣️❣️🫶🌟
@@acm1350 While that may be true, these guys did it first with just basic setups and people could actually afford to go to concerts. My first concert cost $4.50 for Heart, Boston, with Black Sabbath as headliners.
@@Doesitmatter113 man i am jealous! I had the honour of seeing black sabbath once, but i would kill to see heart and boston live! 70’s rock is something special man, no doubt
@@TheBigSmoker Yep, it was both Boston and Hearts first tours. Ticket price ...$4.50 general admission seating. Saw Def Leppard on their first US tour. They opened up for Blackfoot at a small theatre in Denver. Back with the original two guitarists and the drummer still had both arms. Even saw Elvis in 1977, just before he died.
+Thomas Holland Because the have no fkin idea what good old rock n roll is,they would not know good music if it slapped them in the damn face!! ENOUGH SAID !!
Probably really young kids who think that today's so called music is great. My daughter is 9 and we listen to all kinds of music. I want her to appreciate when music was real music. Not just the screaming vulgar crap these days.
Peter is one of the most underrated guitarists ever, all because of his Pop Stature. A truly Bright and Gifted guitarist / human being / man, Peter was/ & still is. It was the glam 70's after all, & the Record Companies knew they had a rare & extremely marketable Artist. They had the power to put him at the top. They did, and he was willing. Luckily time has gone full circle. He is appreciated.
Peter was huge and still is so I don’t know what you are talking about . Are you one of those people that say you were a fan but weren’t because you didn’t keep up and now you want to get into the conversation . Like so called Queen fans that abandoned them when they switched up at times or because they wore a dress in a video because it was a funny thing to do in The UK. Frampton was one of the best in singing amd playing and still is to this day . Incredible . Now a days being indicted is so important because it is all ruined by dumb people . Won’t get into it ! Lol
Hail to Rock!! I'm a Afro Ameri and I stand behind these words!! My friends father put me on to so many great musicians. Glad to be a ear to the soul. THIS MAN IS A GOD.
Brings back a lot of memories. I'm 16 again in 1976. I washed and waxed my dad's 1972 Buick Skylark. The 8 track is blasting with Framption. Getting ready for a date with my girl.
Queen at live aid. Nirvana unplugged. Beatles Ed Sullivan. Stevie Wonder Soul Train. Frampton Midnight Special. Best televised musical performances ever.
... and don't forget PopGala'73 Dutch Television March 1973, Eagles First Performance Ever Tequila Sunrise, Outlaw Man. The Who, Rod Steward & Faces ...
You forgot Cheap Trick on Letterman w/Taylor Hawkins performing "Stiff Competition" w/Dave Grohl on drums, and Sum 41 w/Iggy on Letterman performing "Little know it All".
Born and raised on R & B but back in 76 I bought Frampton Comes Alive. First and only rock album I ever purchased. Going to see him come Nov in Louisville, KY. Man! I cannot wait! 🤙
Frampton is an underrated guitarist, but look who else was active at that time. Hendrix had only died a few years earlier. Clapton, Beck, Page, Duane Allman, Santana, Blackmore, Gary Moore, Alvin Lee, Peter Green, Ted Nugent, Edgar Winter, Rory Gallagher, ect. ect It was pretty hard to stand out in that crowd.
I saw him perform this live about 5 years ago and let me tell you...i was up front...MIND FUCKING BLOWN! CAUSE HE SOUNDED EXACTLY THE SAME AS HE DOES HERE. NO CUTTING CORNERS.
Did you see the TH-cam video of him about 5 years ago he was Gray-haired but it was excellent I think he was 65 or 70 at that concert you can find it on TH-cam
Exactly and he still smiling and roaming those beautiful eyes read some dam comments about the coke & drugs did that Peter is passionate and it’s obvious to this day he still sounds the same and smiles & 👀 He’s not the only 1 who did drugs and drink most of us did back then rather that then what they do now and the music isn’t the same it’s fake just my opinion 🙃🥰
People can be anti whatever they want but there’s no denying that it’s part of the creative process. The music from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s can’t be beat. What they call music these days can’t compare. From one 60’s child…..
This is one of my top 5 performances of all time. Just the audio alone makes the hair stand up on my head. And I can't get the song out my head for weeks.
I was taking the ACT test for college. Out in the car my friends were impatiently waiting for me to finish as we had tickets to see Frampton in Detroit that night. I had such a hard time concentrating because I was so excited to see him in concert. He didn't disappoint. What a fantastic show! Oh, to be 17 years old again...
*Old man voice* my generations music was better and not the crap they play today *dentures fall out* lol you do realize every generation says that and is just an opinion and every generation has there own kind of music whether you like it or not, I like what is considered "old music" and also today's music, it's music, do you know how I feel?
Crapinmymouth Reborn Wow! Evidently today's artists must think the music of the past was better, they sure are sampling the shit of out of it. You know it is hard to call something new if the best thing about it is a riff or a lyric somebody else did 20-50 years ago.
neuromantoo I'm 54, and have always been a music lover. I love damn near everything from today back to the start of recorded music. I even have some midi transcribed piano roll music that I find inspiring. I grew up with The Stones, Led Zep, and all them. Never liked much Big Band, Rap, Country or "dance music". There are some great performers today, but IMO, the ratio of good:crap has gotten slowly worse over my lifetime. Too much "production", autotune, wall of noise, etc. But the point is that good music survives.
TheRealMrPeach I have very eclectic musical tastes. Last year I took my granddaughter and her boyfriend to see the 4 hour performance of Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach. As a teen in the 60's I devoured music, jazz, country, psychedelic and acid rock, Motown, Balinese gong, avante-garde classical like Terry Riley, Lamont Young, and Karlheinz Stockhausen you name it. There certainly are some of today's performers that I like but for the most part I find a lot the music derivative. Absolutely loathe autotune too.
TheRealMrPeach well put brother. I'm 49 and have played guitar since I was 10. Very few today are actually talented. Like someone said above me^^^^^ the soul is gone :( Or is it? :)
I used to stay up and watch this show as teenager. I remember seeing this show at the time and was totally blown away. His live performances were so different than his records and this just illustrates the musicianship, the raw talent that this young man at the time had. Still great to see live 50 yrs later.
An extraordinary musician, an exemplary arranger and a total command of timing all equals a sound for the ages. You cannot overestimate the sheer power of his music. As an added bonus, of course, he is a delightful stage presence. That's why you are watching this nearly half-century old video.
I love this song. Does anyone out there remember the house parties. Back in the 70's ? No one stoled nothing. No one at the party that you did not trust. If someone drank to much they just slept over . No Drama back in the 70's . Every one just had a great time. You could even actually go for a joy ride back then and not have to worry about road rage. OH HOW I TRULY DO MISS THOSE DAYS.
@@jeffj2495 Just get rid of speed limits on highways, thats so silly. At 160mph you have no time for rage, just tranquillity. Until you can enjoy the power of your ceramic brakes trying to not hit the caravan that just pulled into your lane 300m in front of you with 50mph. The wonders of the relaxing Autobahn!
Aw Fuck I'd give 10 years off the end of my life to go back to the day when I first heard this song... Knowing what I know now I'd do so many things different.
I am latino and used to listen to this in my childhood, when it just came out, but not knowing English I had no damn idea what this guy was singing about, but LOVED his MUSIC and was a fan UNTIL NOW. De paso, ahora si hablo Ingles.
I grown up , listening to Frampton Music 🎵 🎼 in my childhood when he come up with the “Alive “Record and I used to check my English dictionary too, this one of the reason , I’m still in the journey to learn more English , stay safe & blessings from the Sonoran Desert 🌵 HMO. Mexico 🇲🇽

It's the same with Mick Jagger saw the stones in 2016 and he was running around playing for 3 hours, insane.

You had to have this record. Frampton comes alive. No matter which way your music taste was inclined. Country , soft , Heavy , classic, pop , even progressive . You had this record . And you played it over and over . This man was so big back in the day .

to experience all of them. Real Music, no auto tune no trickery.
Those days we enjoyed live music. Instruments were played.
Absolutely!!

He played his solos differently every time. I especially admire musicians who do. And the joy on his face is infectious.

In my house it was necessary that everyone have their own copy. For us younger ones it was issued at the time of birth.
absolutely! It was such a unique record...
It kicked this version out of water. Perfection an understatement
scott d I still have my album! Hell yeah!
Man those were the days. Every Saturday nite at midnight. Every band you could think of would go on that show. They played live. Other than the album covers it was the only way we could see who they were. So many great memories. I really wish young people today could time travel back and see what the 70s were like. Believe me, you won’t wanna come back here
Ain’t that the TRUTH.
I’ll never forget watching Alice Cooper on The Midnight Special in 1975. I used my allowance to buy “Billion Dollar Babies” and life was never the same 😊✌️
You are right on!!!
as a younger person, I've always enjoyed older music and this song is one of them, Peter Frampton is awesome. I really wish I was alive for the golden age of music.
Exactly!!! I miss those days so much
My father passed away 3 weeks ago, and this song remind me so much of him, he used to love this song 😢 RIP Edu, we will always love you! ❤
Rest in peace, Edu!
I'm so so grateful to have grown up in this era of virtuoso rock-god music. It truly was a spectacular time to be young and tuned in to music.

Don't message, "Peter Kenneth Frampton," channel doesn't look like him, it will probably spread cyber crime.
@@perkitaseaman3290 No - that'd be my mom.
@@aarond3657 Yeah - it's not even written in proper English. Yikes.
@perkita seaman can you not read? The comment from Doyle said don’t email the Framptin link it’s probably cyber crime. So she responded to him, yeah the comment is not in proper English. She wasn’t responding to you at all. She even tagged the Doyle guy, not you! Please pay attention!!! Or go outside and kick rocks!
This song never gets old after 40 years. Always a classic that stands the test of time.
I'm only 14 and I can't get enough of it. Also learned the intro on guitar
i'm 55 was watching this in 75 i was 14 cool then as it is now
I saw Peter Frampton when I was 17 in 1975 at a concert in Sacramento with Rod Stewart and Loggins and Messina...got some cool pics too albeit from a 110 Kodak camera but still cool for back them :)
+Michael Dahmer shit man i kinda wish i was born back in the 60s, fuck this 2000s music, it sucks
i feel the same way Lux 1206
I can't believe this is a live TV performance...
Literally unbelievable
Peter Frampton is and was the best his music will live on 4 ever.
Especially knowing how long ago this was made. In those days it was uncommon to watch a televised performance that wasn’t synched.
@@dhutch12345 I can’t help but hate the lame ass audience in this video. I feel bad for him trying to entertain these stuff fucks.
Truth 🙏👍
Midnight Special had incredible live performances. This one is just off the charts! They just don't make 'em like this anymore.
My cousin was the One Who made me listen this Song more thank 30 years ago. He died last month, and i Remember him with this song...
I’ve never seen a happier guitarist on stage.
You mean higher
Stuart W Ross unfortunately when he gets an car accidents every thing change for him. true story. he never became the same since this point
lol dem white lines r powerful ;)
Michael League (snarky puppy) is Jaco, reincarnated. The faces! Shyt... And skill
Cocaine.
Anybody here in the final days of November 2020 still rocking out to this song, hard to believe it was 45 years ago
Who cares?
Have Peter on a memory stick in the machine i operate, seriously
rocked out today. Rock on Otto!!!!
Still kicking and keeping warm in Alaska 😎👍🎼🎵🎶🍺
@@williamshivers7173 Apparently these are the golden years, i wonder as i hurt all over too. Shouldn't have worked so hard as a young guy, saved a little for later but, who knew?
We are alive and well and are still kicking ass
Even on a black and white tv with a 4 inch speaker these performances were still worth staying home for.
Don't forget the Panasonic cassette recorder with the blank tape you set next to the TV or radio to record it.
So true, today can't compare!!
Midnight Special was always simulcast on radio where I was (SF Bay area) so we always cranked the stereo and turned off the TV sound. They sounded great!
@@mjrydsfast absolutely
Saw him at the Capitol theatre in Passaic, NJ, sometime around 77', played the live album note for note, word for word, it was just Ok. I wasn't really impressed at the time.
I was 16 when this aired, am 65 now his music is timeless!!
I'll be dadgum,I also was 16 when I heard this on the radio! 🤠
I am 17 and 66! Still rockin'! Still gettin' high!
Classic Rock..
you are correct its timeless, and I was born in the 60s, and agree with you. but my dads music which was big band and early rock wasn't bad either
I was 15 then....16 when Frampton Comes Alive was released....this WAS my teen years....EVERYBODY knew and loved Framtpon...he played non-stop everywhere and for good reason... Damn! I'm 62 and this track still ROCKS me!
I’m 52, right behind ya…and he rocked for us too…
Same! I just turned 63 and still can’t believe I’m this old. This was just yesterday, wasn’t it? 😉
Me too Ed👍
I think being a teen in the 70s was the best ☺️
@@lillianwheeler6118 I was almost a teen lol
there is NO way technology can replace sticking an amplified guitar in your mouth to replace your vocal cords. This is the pinnacle, there is no evolutionary replacement. Sheer GENIUS.
What?
I made one of those talk boxes with a speaker horn, some 1/2 inch plastic tubing and a wooden box. Provided me with hours of entertainment on my electric guitar.
Peter Frampton is one of the greats.
Don't think he was the first one to do this, a country musician did it with a slide guitar around the same time.
aqa
@@oldschoolman1444 But he's still the best and the hottest!
Whenever this song comes on, I drop whatever I'm doing and sit down and enjoy it. Always!
Right with you bro
that's cause you get it!
Pete is the best
Pete is the best
Same here!!
Pure f genius. Few people in this day and age realize
how huge this live album was back in the day. Unbelievable magic.
True, I remember my older brother buying this in 1977. I couldn’t believe what I was listening to.
I can vouch for the fact that this album was perhaps the most popular of all, at least in the US high school scene, despite that being a historic year for music, with so many awesome albums (including Boston's debut) in so many genres.
Ain’t that the truth! I remember saving up my allowance for this album and I didn’t realize at the time it was extended version as they only played the short version on the radio. Yes, those were great times. This album sold several million very quickly. I think I’ll Google Frampton because for some unknown reason he fizzled out fairly quickly and I never understood why.
Everyone in our age bracket, the preps, the rockers, the jocks and even the Brothas...all had/have this dbl Lp masterpiece. 🎼🤘
Yes! And especially the concert in summer ‘76 to follow. FanfikonTastic🤘
This goes out to my friend Allen Swanson, 1977 he rides his Honda street bike over, leather boots with tassels, cool ass glasses on, long hair flowing. Hands me a copy of Frampton comes alive. I was 10, he was 15 and to me the coolest dude on earth! They found him dead in a ditch after a bad drug deal, I keep his memory alive by playing this record. To Allen!!
Wasn't it awesome having someone a little older than us who shaped our perspective on music during the greatest decade for music? Blessings bro.
*pours out a beer for Allen*
What a horrible story! 15 was too young to croak! RIP Allen!
Was not cool
Oh im sorry for your loss.. but realy a beauty memory from him
Frampton has got to be one of the best-underrated guitarists EVER!
Alexander Land He literally has the number 4 most sold live album of all time. I can assure you, plenty of people know how amazing of a guitar player, singer and composer Frampton is; he’s definitely not underrated from a recognition standpoint
Because he the guitarist of WE THE PEOPLE..GOAT
Played for Bowie on the glass spyder tour
@@fredpaddon8979 I saw him play on that tour.
@@migueldelatorre1431 A lot of people understate his talent though. He's usually named later when talking about guitar legends, at least in the conversations I've had.
My dad first introduced me to this as a kid back in the 90's. I'm 38 now and he is late stage Alzheimers. Coming back and listening to this brings back good memories.
Bless you and your dad, music can be very healing. My mom had Alzheimer’s also so know what you’re experiencing. Peace to you❤️
Your dad can time travel back to his youth with a good 70s playlist. Give him a vintage boom box and some cassettes.
Sorry. about. your. Dad. shoreguy,. I,m. glad the. memories. of. your. Dad,. It. was. such. a. cool. ass. time
🥲
@@cheryldugas5197 check out the movie called "Alive Inside: A Story of Music and Memory"
It's 2023 and I am still listening to this 70's Rock masterpiece from the greatest guitarists of the times Peter Frampton. Rock On!!!!!!! Pete.
Over FORTY YEARS later I still get goose bumps when I hear this song,fucking amazing. !!!
Me too
One of the if not the best live performances ever recorded by Midnight Special IMHO.
This and Bee Gees
Not taking anything away from this, but don't forget Nancy Wilson on her intro to Crazy On You. Still mind blowing.
I agree wholeheartedly
👏👏👏👏👏
That`s pure Rock Sound of the free world !!!
Miss the 70's! You had to be there, playing this at the prom was pure magic! Most of you my friends missed out! Wish you could have been there!
U right. U have to see it to believe it..... Iam 71 and still live in the 70's...easy smooth life with lot fashion💄💋👠👝💍 and good outdoor life great music!!!! I had no fear walking👣 down the streets of CHICAGO....
That last riff was other worldly. One of the greatest rock moments, ever. Only in the 70's.
Arguably on of the most underrated musicians of the 70's. He still sounds great to this day.
2019 is his farewell tour. I am catching a date this month.
KOZ-WTF NATION RADIO 🤣 the fuck are you talking about? He quite literally had the best selling live album of all time (Peter Frampton Comes Alive 1976). It stayed at number 1 in the charts for like 10 weeks straight the year it came out. He also won album of the year with a Rolling Stones audience poll - also in the 70’s. Only place he apparently hasn’t been recognized is the music hall of fame but fuck that circus show
Even today he’s touring everywhere and selling out venues... He’s an icon
great musician
@@migueldelatorre1431 I hear u bro I see on TH-cam where some of these idiots say an artist or actor or athlete is underrated using the word in the wrong context here's two examples somebody said will Smith was an underrated rapper of course he won the first rap Grammy and recorded some of the most iconic rap songs of all time with summertime and the men in Black and recent somebody said Eddie Murphy was an underrated comic when of course he saved snl ratings and is one thing f the biggest box office draws of all time
Yes,he is. I saw him back in 1978, and just 2 summers ago (40th year Anniversary Tour), at the Tent in South Boston. He was incredible back then and still is now! I remember this TV show.We used to watch this, and Don Kirschner's Rock Concert. Quality television before cable was introduced!
To this day this track still gives me chills 👍👍
You said it it gives me chills too
STILL TO THIS DAY. You said something there.
@@shawnstarks1743 you said something also
Ditto love ❤️ it
Rock n roll history right there!!
Thank you Peter. I'm so glad you liked my comment. It means a lot to me. We loved you then as we remember our own youth growing up!. And we love you today as we age with you. With your music and your legacy. THANK YOU PETER.
Everybody is sitting down they have no idea they are witnessing one of the greatest performances of all time
Yea Charlie,. If. they. only. knew. what. they. we're. watching. 😎
Unfortunately, the audiences on the Midnight Special were always that way no matter who was playing. I think they may have been told not to cheer.
Now that’s what you call, rock and roll, no one can touch that one.
Ire member purchasing this tape from best buy. Guy behind me getting his kids stuff said Framton kicks ass, b4 I could reply register girl said damn straight! I just smiled.
Seen Peter lately, times a bitc*
Gracie slick, even worse so sad
A band playing a 10 minute jam on on a tv show. That’ll never happen today.
mindfield7 we can only hope for that. I’m 21 and I’ve been playing music since 14 and I gotta say that the music is alive and well. Nice bike also !
I wouldn't want to listen to 10 minutes of today's music anyway.
This was the reason people finally bought a color television . Awesomeness.
@@jitgreen8366 Playing music? what instrument?
Anthony Davella Guitar , Piano, and Voice. I was in choir for 4 years . 3 at a high school level and 1 year at college level.
Peter is one of the most underrated Lead Guitarist in music history. He's a Musical Genius.
❤😅
AMEN
Wouldn't know it from this song.
@@MrSatyre1He's a virtuoso musician.
And I wouldn’t know if your ears worked.
How much energy, talent, charisma and smile can you pack in one man?
And he's a mind-bogglingly great guitarist.
I love how much joy he gets from playing!
Frampton is one of the most underrated guitarists in rock history!His guitar in the last 2 minutes sounds like a piano-one note flowing and melding into the next.
He wasn’t underrated. We loved him. For a minute there, he was bigger than Bowie! That horrible follow up album, though.
No he's not. You're another example of those who do not know how to implement that word
AND A FINE MAN !
Frampton Comes Alive is one of my all time favorite guitar albums. Frampton is one of the few(Santana excelled as well) who could play great wild stuff, and great slower music(Lines on My Face).
Well said
Yes, I was 18 years old when this song came out. I remember my girlfriend was frenching the daylights out of me to this tune. I miss you Dianne, were ever you are! 🇨🇦
Love ya comment mate 😂🇬🇧
I was 15 and went too his show at the Oakland Coliseum
nice comment fellow canuck!
Lol, now THAT'S a great memory!
@@flstffatboy3910 so you were there too? When he had a moment, and half the crowd left? We stayed. A quick ride to fame could be rough on a young person. The guy I was dating played guitar and he really liked Peter
It's funny that this blew my dad's mind as a kid and here I am almost 50 years later still having mine blown by it 😂
I saw Frampton in 1975 when I had just turned 17 years old. First Concert my parents let me attend. UFO then Fleetwood Mac opened for Frampton and it was a warm summer day "on the green" at Oakland. I've seen a LOT of Concerts since that day, but I will NEVER forget it. Friggin' great memories!
I saw him on that same tour! I was in Chicago though.
That was a great show. Can you believe Fleetwood Mac opened for Frampton?
What a great memory. Thanks for reminding me :)
This appearance on Midnight Special was before the release of Frampton Comes Alive--this intimate audience got to preview Peter before he headed to enormous venues just a few months later.
First time I heard this on the "more edgy" American top 40 radio stations was September, 1976.
Thanks for that info. Awesome performance.
They were so lucky. I was only 9 at the time. ☹️ This is one of the best live performances ever.
I got to see him on that tour and the atmosphere was amazing! A moment in time, y'all.
@@melanielane8161 Same here....we were lucky!
These Midnight Specials were awesome to watch when i was a teen. They got the musicians just when their songs with riding UP the charts...not after they had played them a few hundred timesand do so just with tired vocals and licks. Awesome.
I discovered Aerosmith by way of "The Midnight Special" & my crush Steven Tyler ;) They sang "Dream On" & was over the moon. The show was a must see every week. Real bands, real music; real talent..
My sweet big brother (RIP Tony❤️) turned me on to Peter Frampton in the late 70’s…this song was epic then and epic now. They surely don’t make music like this anymore.
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice to meet you here.
THIS! What charisma! Frampton was the GOAT with his Phoenix and talkbox and everyone was blown away. So glad I was able to ride that wave when it happened.
I agree with you 110%. We were both living our lives at a time when we were 'witness' to the BEST in rock and roll in the 1970's. so many great groups emerged. Genesis, Supertramp, Boston, etc....
Meeeee too! I wouldn't trade living in those times for anything! My kids get sick of hearing it, haha, but it's the truth!
Agree with you ❤️, what a great era for terrific music and free spirited life even if you were working ....life just flowed and I don't think it was our foolish youth!
@@brentsarazin6597 ... I was alive at the times of 1975 - 1979 in my teenager years. I think Roger Waters took an irrelevant Pink Floyd band up to 1977 and creatively mastered the hard rock albums "Animals" of 1977 and "The Wall" to become relevant in heavy metal I think Rolling Stones told Pink Floyd in 1975 they were playing melodic rock only for aging audiences. Everything in music 1975 to 1979 started to become new envelope pushes for rock groups to become relevant. I can't even get Foreigner's "Feels Like The First Time" or "Head Games" very much relevant as many other heavy metal music artists let alone Disco artists, Country artists, Punk Rock artists in synth music, etc. of 1970s 2nd half decade inspired by music up to 1975.
This tune defines an era...so much to live for then, life was bitchin...a vivid moment of time...the true good times of ROCK culture. Man, I'm grateful to have experienced this radically creative era.
One of my favorite albums of all time. 1975-1977 some of the greatest years in music history.
The amount of units sold of Frampton Comes Alive is simply staggering.
Yep iam an old dog too
Zep's Physical Graffiti in late '75 tops my list for that era. Though there are many able worthy contenders from then for faves, since it is subjective to each of us.
Some of the greatest years to grow up!
I was a freshman in college when this came out. This song played all throughout the floor in our dorm.
This music will live forever, if I had a time machine I would go back to the 1970s and never come back.
I believe the crowd is feeding off his energy and he is feeding off of theirs I was 10 when this aired and snuck out of bed to watch it in our living room, I was blown away and before you laugh remember I was 10, I am 55 now and still love this
Same!!❤
Yep. Same here!
I'm 62 now always stayed up late on Saturday night to watch this
Me too! My mom bought the album. I was exposed young😂😂😂
I'm 55 here in 2021 and I totally remember this!
That Les Paul he's playing survived a cargo plane crash and Peter got it back many years later.
Phoenix!#🎸🔥🤘🏻
Saw the you tube video with him being reunited with the guitar,heartwarming stuff
I was at his concert in CT when he talked about being able to find the guitar, and he brought it out and played it on stage. Beautiful.
Really? Is that why they call it the Phenix?
Wow
I’ve seen Peter in concert on the front row and there’s no words for the experience watching this master of the guitar!!
Вам повезло!!
This was a golden era for rock music at it finest . It can’t be overstated just how brilliant a guitarist and songwriter Peter is .
Thank you my friend for all the years of amazing music 🎵🎶🎵👌
Also the golden era of DISCO!
Frampton Comes Alive ! The 70's...hands down the best decade for music.
Absolutely. I keep telling my niece this. Frampton Comes Alive is the reason I picked up a guitar.
you need some Rory Gallagher.
Was the best selling live record for years....
Until the 90s
U know ur decade it was the very best 👍🏾👍🏾
I worked on the Frampton\ Steve Miller tour for the past few years.. Both of them boys still got it. Legends never lose it.
Bullshit!! Chuck Berry lost it!! Not much more legendary than that. Also Malcolm Young,& Glen Tipton. Plenty of others too.
@@Bartockamus I'll let the people who were eagerly awaiting your opinion know. I'm not one of em but I'll definitely pass it along bro.
Went to the show in Concord California...mind blown! Both were amazing always wanted to see Frampton and was not disappointed. I didn’t realize how many songs Steve Miller had that I love, he was was incredible and was a great story teller.
@@fredcrosby6382 Right on bro.. these cats still crush their original songs after all these years.. even their sound checks are pretty awesome.
Thank you for your work. We saw them in Bend, Oregon.
Frampton comes alive is a masterpiece.
Yes it is.
Probably why I've been listening to it for half an hour. OK. An hour!

I was the teenager with the Frampton poster on my bedroom wall. I knew he was more than a beautiful face. So much talent.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is why Midnight Special was so great. Bands played Freakin Live!
not all played fully live...alot of acts on that show did canned music w/a live vocal. don kirshners rock concert...all those acts performed 100% live...and most if not all those clips are on here/youtube, see for yourself.
Totally agreed
and most of them played near perfectly. Today's bands would need autotune and 3 takes.
I wish they'd being that show back instead of the garbage they have on now! I loved it.
You know it!
After watching multiple clips from this badass show, I haven't noticed anyone give major props to the producer. The camera shots are just what musicians are looking for. Like anyone, they stick on the lead singers a bit much, but still it's fantastic production.
Sound mix is almost always on point as well.
Obviously the musicians kick ass... Just wanted to give kudos to the production team.
I think it helped that the lead singer was also the lead guitarist 🙂
so true!
during the talkbox part they superimposed the guitar over his face so you really can see the union of voice and guitar on screen, genius!
the drummer could've got some more screentime but he was carrying the song in the background....as we do. ;)
Midnight Special was a fabulous show. A treat every Friday night. Lol, the Wolfman was a character, great voice.
This is the only fellow to whom I asked for an autograph in my life. I had this opportunity some 10 years ago in my hometown, Rio. And he gave it to me with a humble and happy smile, for which I will be forever grateful. In my opinion Peter is one of the top 3 Rock & Roll stars of the last 50 years.
So true , Rafael !!! Frampton Rules !!! Check out ," Doesn't Matter Where Or When ," an original rocking song and video on my site . Thanks , Adam Holtz
This song brings back so many good teen memories. 1977-1978...Yes Indeed. I'm now 63. Good music 🎶 never lose it power 🔋.
Listen to Adam Corolla podcast. He just had Peter on and really highly respects him

TIGHT AS F**K! And no digital processing back then. What a great time to be alive.
But GVF has ALL of today's technology.
Also, no click track! I hope I never pay money to see a live band using a click track; talk about removing the feel entirely from the music...
He wasn't pushing any foot pedals or anything. Only flipped the switch on his guitar once! So awesome!!
Peter, get better... Don't Stop Fighting.
You are an Icon of our days... I was just talking about your music with a friend... How WE don't get music like then......
I used to lay down on the floor to do my homework in my bedroom and your music was always playing... ...

Ah yes, back when people actually played instruments!!!! Some of the best music EVER made.
Plenty of great musicians still play instruments actually. Many rising guitarists all over TH-cam. Pretty easy to find them, in fact.
@@acm1350 While that may be true, these guys did it first with just basic setups and people could actually afford to go to concerts. My first concert cost $4.50 for Heart, Boston, with Black Sabbath as headliners.

anthony mariani 9999999% agree
It was awsome the first time I heard it and it's still kick ass it will never get old i love it
Peter is one of the most underrated guitarists ever, all because of his Pop Stature. A truly Bright and Gifted guitarist / human being / man, Peter was/ & still is. It was the glam 70's after all, & the Record Companies knew they had a rare & extremely marketable Artist. They had the power to put him at the top. They did, and he was willing. Luckily time has gone full circle. He is appreciated.
Gotta say. You seem like someone who knows like an owl. congrats
I don't think he's under rated, he's respected by many other guitarist. Just not so radio popular these days.
Wtf ? Lmfao
Peter was huge and still is so I don’t know what you are talking about . Are you one of those people that say you were a fan but weren’t because you didn’t keep up and now you want to get into the conversation . Like so called Queen fans that abandoned them when they switched up at times or because they wore a dress in a video because it was a funny thing to do in The UK. Frampton was one of the best in singing amd playing and still is to this day . Incredible . Now a days being indicted is so important because it is all ruined by dumb people . Won’t get into it ! Lol
Say what!! You are very ignorant.
Who doesn’t Love Peter Frampton… I’m so grateful I was born over 50 years ago 🙏🏼🫡💯

No, not really. BUT -- he IS a living legend as a musician, singer/songwriter and entertainer.
Brings back a lot of memories. I'm 16 again in 1976. I washed and waxed my dad's 1972 Buick Skylark. The 8 track is blasting with Framption. Getting ready for a date with my girl.

did the same with Dinah Washington album... dad knows
Peter Frampton is one of the great guitarists.
👏🏾👍🏾👌🏾
🎵Do you feel like we do?🎵
HE truly is
I just saw him and he’s AMAZING
Frampton is an underrated guitarist, but look who else was active at that time.
Hendrix had only died a few years earlier. Clapton, Beck, Page, Duane Allman, Santana, Blackmore, Gary Moore, Alvin Lee, Peter Green, Ted Nugent, Edgar Winter, Rory Gallagher, ect. ect
It was pretty hard to stand out in that crowd.
I was a little kid when my sister bought this album. It was the background music of my childhood. The older I get the more l love it.
70's was the time, man.
Two words. Halter Tops.
Yeah, my parents tell me there was just so much good music constantly coming out it was overwhelming in a good way.

The 70's Were Weren't They?! Things were Much Simpler then. We were a bit more connected to what Is Important. Now...???
Bob doubles on the "you" and then harmonizes on "feel like I do".
A pairing from heaven.
Bob and Pete.
Bob Mayo was great keyboard player too. I always loved his work on this song on the Comes Alive album.
my teenage memories. Yes!!

Since it was a computer algorithm... you are correct.
I saw him perform this live about 5 years ago and let me tell you...i was up front...MIND FUCKING BLOWN! CAUSE HE SOUNDED EXACTLY THE SAME AS HE DOES HERE. NO CUTTING CORNERS.
Did you see the TH-cam video of him about 5 years ago he was Gray-haired but it was excellent I think he was 65 or 70 at that concert you can find it on TH-cam
Exactly and he still smiling and roaming those beautiful eyes read some dam comments about the coke & drugs did that Peter is passionate and it’s obvious to this day he still sounds the same and smiles & 👀 He’s not the only 1 who did drugs and drink most of us did back then rather that then what they do now and the music isn’t the same it’s fake just my opinion 🙃🥰
People can be anti whatever they want but there’s no denying that it’s part of the creative process. The music from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s can’t be beat. What they call music these days can’t compare. From one 60’s child…..
This is one of my top 5 performances of all time. Just the audio alone makes the hair stand up on my head. And I can't get the song out my head for weeks.
I was taking the ACT test for college. Out in the car my friends were impatiently waiting for me to finish as we had tickets to see Frampton in Detroit that night. I had such a hard time concentrating because I was so excited to see him in concert. He didn't disappoint. What a fantastic show! Oh, to be 17 years old again...
Highly Underrated. Frampton is awesome.
Why is he underrated?
@@stuartjohnson5238 He's not....one of the greatest guitarists of all time...
Fred Flintstone absolute fact on his guitar genius. I think he is a bit underrated as a vocalist, though. The cat could sing his ass off, too.
@@stuartjohnson5238 compared to Clapton, Page, Beck etc he isn't talked about that much...
Hundreds of millions of records sold say he not too badly underrated
One of the Greatest live bands ever!! Killer voice
40 years old.... and still better then the crap that plays now days.
*Old man voice* my generations music was better and not the crap they play today *dentures fall out* lol you do realize every generation says that and is just an opinion and every generation has there own kind of music whether you like it or not, I like what is considered "old music" and also today's music, it's music, do you know how I feel?
Crapinmymouth Reborn Wow! Evidently today's artists must think the music of the past was better, they sure are sampling the shit of out of it. You know it is hard to call something new if the best thing about it is a riff or a lyric somebody else did 20-50 years ago.
neuromantoo I'm 54, and have always been a music lover. I love damn near everything from today back to the start of recorded music. I even have some midi transcribed piano roll music that I find inspiring.
I grew up with The Stones, Led Zep, and all them. Never liked much Big Band, Rap, Country or "dance music".
There are some great performers today, but IMO, the ratio of good:crap has gotten slowly worse over my lifetime. Too much "production", autotune, wall of noise, etc.
But the point is that good music survives.
TheRealMrPeach I have very eclectic musical tastes. Last year I took my granddaughter and her boyfriend to see the 4 hour performance of Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach. As a teen in the 60's I devoured music, jazz, country, psychedelic and acid rock, Motown, Balinese gong, avante-garde classical like Terry Riley, Lamont Young, and Karlheinz Stockhausen you name it. There certainly are some of today's performers that I like but for the most part I find a lot the music derivative. Absolutely loathe autotune too.
TheRealMrPeach well put brother. I'm 49 and have played guitar since I was 10. Very few today are actually talented. Like someone said above me^^^^^ the soul is gone :( Or is it? :)
I used to stay up and watch this show as teenager. I remember seeing this show at the time and was totally blown away. His live performances were so different than his records and this just illustrates the musicianship, the raw talent that this young man at the time had. Still great to see live 50 yrs later.
Hello Crimean,how are you doing?🌹🌹
Hello, how are you today? Nice to meet you here.
An extraordinary musician, an exemplary arranger and a total command of timing all equals a sound for the ages. You cannot overestimate the sheer power of his music. As an added bonus, of course, he is a delightful stage presence. That's why you are watching this nearly half-century old video.

I love this song. Does anyone out there remember the house parties. Back in the 70's ? No one stoled nothing. No one at the party that you did not trust. If someone drank to much they just slept over . No Drama back in the 70's . Every one just had a great time. You could even actually go for a joy ride back then and not have to worry about road rage. OH HOW I TRULY DO MISS THOSE DAYS.
Great song please check out Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive Album Review on my channel
I knew those days,was 18 years old,best time ever !
Yeah. What is it with road rage? We never had that in the "olden days". People have turned weird in the last 20 years.
@@jeffj2495 Just get rid of speed limits on highways, thats so silly. At 160mph you have no time for rage, just tranquillity. Until you can enjoy the power of your ceramic brakes trying to not hit the caravan that just pulled into your lane 300m in front of you with 50mph. The wonders of the relaxing Autobahn!
Yep I do remember..
Now it all sucks. Its over people..
Aw Fuck I'd give 10 years off the end of my life to go back to the day when I first heard this song... Knowing what I know now I'd do so many things different.
I'm with you. Frampton on the radio and all of life ahead.
Brings back a lot of memories, eh bro?
Tiki Tavi So what you're saying is, "Do you feel like I do?" :) Yeah, I'm right there with you bro!
It worked! I'm you back when you first heard this song, and now I'm going to live your life the way you wish you had! MUWAHAHAHAHA
Tony Stark All paths lead to the truth, young one.
I was 12 years old when I first heard this, and it became my very first favorite rock song. Still in love with it.
Hello, how are you today? Nice to meet you here.
One thing I really admire about Frampton is how much fun he always looks like he is having
I am latino and used to listen to this in my childhood, when it just came out, but not knowing English I had no damn idea what this guy was singing about, but LOVED his MUSIC and was a fan UNTIL NOW. De paso, ahora si hablo Ingles.
I grown up , listening to Frampton Music 🎵 🎼 in my childhood when he come up with the “Alive “Record and I used to check my English dictionary too, this one of the reason , I’m still in the journey to learn more English , stay safe & blessings from the Sonoran Desert 🌵 HMO. Mexico 🇲🇽
@@antoniobanderas9769 mexico = carteI so true.
@@DS-ju2sq , of course they real , like to many gangs , rapist , serial killers, pedos, drugs user , et etc in the USA , with out all these staff and drugs demand in the states , we will have less cartels in the Americas
@@DS-ju2sq .. we’re here to talk about Peter F. Music career.
@@antoniobanderas9769 From the way you write, I have assumed at this point you've mastered english. If Peter Frampton get you started on Learning English that's awesome! It's way better than my Spanish!😎
