I was an usher at the Winnipeg Arena, and after I got everyone seated, I managed to get an empty seat in the front row to see Humple Pie. This was around 1969 / 1970. I had been learning guitar, learning some of Peter's leading solos, and Peter did a solo. I was so impressed that I stood up, while everyone remained seated, and applauded . Peter looked down at me from the stage, and gave me a nod of gratitude, seeing my appreciation for the talent God had given him. That was a special moment for me. He was not arrogant, but was humble. Peter was the humble in the humble pie.
@@mariannabauerlein9486 , you're welcome. Thank you for appreciating. I also had read that Peter was influenced was influenced by jazz guitarists like Kenny Burrell. I was trying to go in that direction, but after playing with a drummer that used to play with Jim Hendriz, Aretha Franklin, WIlson Pickett, I tok the influence I had received from John Lennon and George Harrison, and gave up the drug and alcohol filled music scene, and became a Hare Krishna monk, a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, and it is the best decision I have ever made! Hare Krishna!, as Tom Pety tsaid wehn he inducted George Harrison into the Rockn Roll Hall of Fame.Peter also played on George's album All Things Must Pass. They were friends.
From what little I know, Peter is not unhappy with his career and life today. He is very talented, smart, and has a level (and still handsome) head. No tears for him, he doesn't want or need them.
Frampton is STILL kicking ass! I just saw him a couple of years ago with Steve Miller at Riverbend, in Cincinnati. He opened for Miller, then Miller invited him back out and they played together for a couple of hours! AMAZING show that I got to share with my sons.
I remember we were in our high school years and in 76’ it totally covered the FM stations, until this day I still love listening to that album. He revolutionized the talk-box and he gave me that extra edge to push my own boundaries. Thank You Peter Frampton !
I've ran a audio production company for many years Frampton came across the stage many times throughout my career he was always easy to work with very professional and his show was always a packed house of 10 to 20 thousand I have much respect for the man and his iconic life in the music business keep rocking my friend,, I am still out on the road myself once a road dog,, always a road dog,, God bless ,, 🐕
I had tickets to a show at the palace in Albany NY back in the 70's and lost them and my wallet. Went wild trying to find them and found them the day after the concert at the bottom of the laundry bucket which was the same color . Searched all the pockets of the jeans and never saw it at the bottom . Still mad at myself to this day that I missed seeing him.
Frampton Comes Alive was so amazing back in the late 70s. I listened to it over and over back then. I don't recall any of his studio albums. He wasn't studio.
God bless him, I lost my left arm in 1998 and can't play after 35 years so I can imagine the feelings he may have from time to time~go get em my brother~!
Frampton Comes Alive was glued to my turntable back in the days and is still is one the most iconic rock albums ever. I saw him once live in germany and another time with David Bowie as guitarist in the Glass Spider Tour. This guy is a legend.
He's got nothing to be ashamed of. Biggest selling album ever. The guy is and always will be a legend. I'm 66.. I can tell you I listen to his music a lot. Very very few musicians will come close to his Fame. BTW. I went through a period of drugs and alcohol. 34 years clean and sober now. I'm grateful ""He Found A Way.. Every Day ""
I am 65 and my first 8 track was Frampton comes Alive , then in 1978 I saw him preform twice in Houston Tx. , first indoors at the Summit and then outdoors at the Miller Outdoor Theater , which was ruined by Mexicans stabbing each other and all hell broke out as people started getting hauled off in ambulances and HPD showed up on Horseback and started kicking ass , we got the Hell out of there but quick !
I'm 66, too, and got to see Frampton in 1976 just as Comes Alive was hitting the airwaves. His rise to fame was so rapid he was still playing colleges at that point, and I got to watch his soundcheck. I'll never forget it. And then, he performed Comes Alive. We felt like he did, for sure.
Peter Frampton played in Vancouver Washington a few years ago and I was outside the fence watching, he seen me out there and came out to the sidewalk and got me a ticket for his show, thanks Pete
Behind the scene, the music industry was crooked and filthy. The Small Faces got shafted by their manager. Look up the Payola scandal for another example.
I believe that Badfinger had the same manager as Led Zeppelin - but he was not really interested in them in the same way. Peter Grant was a nasty piece of work! Even physical violence was part of his recipe for success.
I'll never forget when "Frampton comes Alive" was released. 1976/77 I was in the US Navy stationed in my hometown of Portland Oregon on a reserve WWII "Tin Can" the USS Hamner DD 718. That album was being played on the FM radio stations and at ALL of the keggers around town. I saw him live and it was even better. I love that album. Frampton is still kicking it today.
Sorry, but he's a very REVERED guitarist, and a monumental influence on rock guitar ever since Frampton Comes Alive. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. He's near the top of the guitar god chart.
My parents didn't. My father was more like "if it's not Pink Floyd or Led Zep I don't want to hear it" and my mother was all like "you can never put on Paul Simon or Linda Ronstadt too many times"
@perfectallycromulent, well I could probably hang with your dad quite easily. I could stand a tune or two with mom as well, but I like the heavy out there stuff more.
I don't know too many musicians who can sound as good as Peter Frampton did in both 1976 and 2010. I saw the original Frampton comes alive tour and years later took my kids to not one, but two of his shows. I don't even remember if he had a warm up band in 76, but he was on tour with Yes in 2010. So that night I got to see Chris Squire, Steve Howe, and Oliver Wakeman (Rick's son) after seeing Peter Frampton. It was a great night of music under the pavilion in Canadaigua, NY. What a perfect place to hear both groups! Frampton still has a great voice and plays like the virtuoso he has always been. The songs on Frampton Comes Alive will never be beat by anything coming out today. There's a reason it is Platinum certified. Even now it sells - over 8 million copies. Add to this my son is a guitar player and he was born on Peter's birthday, a good omen!
I was 10 yo in 76. My father played FCA to me when it came out and that was it!! He was my first guitar influence, and that was cool because nothing he did was super difficult but was melodic and sounded awesome. As far as I know Peter Frampton is a happy dude that still has it going on.
Terrible background music that gets on your nerves. I hate the fake dust on the film effect. Why? The video rambles on and on about the same points I think to make it longer . It should be a 4:00 minute video not 17:00.
and check the script, repetitive and negative, nauseating, revelling in the difficulties of Peter's life. I hate these videos, just wanted to know if things are going okay for Peter who was a standout performer.
I saw Bowie's Glass Spiders tour in Brisbane. It was packed with theatrical effects and surprises, but the biggest was during the intros of the band. Had not even noticed Frampton, and had no idea of the troubles he had endured: just thrilled to have seen and heard him play.
Peter Frampton had/has an awesome career story. As a young kid, the album "Frampton Comes Alive" was historic. I didn't know one person during that time who didn't know it or the song "Do you feel like We Do". He's still impressive today. Well done Peter and thank you for this great video!
I don’t know man, I am pretty sure if you ask most millennials and even more gen Z kids they won’t have a clue at who he is. As a gen x I know his music, think some of it is okay but would hardly say it inspires me.
Like his guitar, Peter Frampton was the Phoenix that Rose from the Ashes back again. I've seen him play back in 98 and New Brunswick, Canada and it was a fantastic Rock show. I loved it. I saw a lot of people. There was a big show with a lot of different artist. S it was up in Monkton, New Brunswick in Canada and anyways. It was fantastic. He was one of the headliners and along with heartliners, Skinner, they were the other headliners. It was like a 2 day event. Fantastic he really brought a tear to my eyes and he is the Phoenix.Thank you
As a 14 year old I absolutely loved the St Pepper movie. Having watched it recently I realise I was easily pleased. Although I don't think it was any worse than many other movies from the same period.
I saw Peter Frampton at Welch Minnesota as an opening act for Steve Miller. Someone brought his Frampton Comes Alive Album and it was show on the jumbotron. He threw a fit and walked off stag refusing to come back on until they turned off the jumbotron. Needless to say, it killed the mood of the evening, and the crowd could wait for him to leave.

Wow! What a great combo. I never saw Frampton live, but did get to see the original Steve Miller Band in a Vancouver theatre, meant to host the VSO and opera. I was shocked at how tight they were, and what an amazing voice Miller had.
Saw Frampton twice: first time in '77 after his Comes Alive album came out, then in 2019 in what was supposed to have been his last tour. The FCA album is one of the classics from the 70s.
Saw him when he was with Humble Pie in the seventies at Hampton Coliseum in Virginia when I was in the Navy and still remember it as though it was yesterday.
Loved pie I think Peter knew he would always play second fiddle to Steve Marriott anyone would don't know if you heard live in San Francisco 1972 with clempson replacement
As a DJ producer on my local community radio Frampton will always be the sound of that particular generation as he said they set you up 2 knock you down, enough said.
I got to see him with David Bowie and his Glass Spider Tour several times. He was amazing. Bowie added Frampton for several reasons. They were friends since boyhood; Peter's dad was Bowie's art teacher. Bowie wanted to put Peter back in the spotlight as his record execs were busy looking for the money elsewhere after they ruined his career by demanding the I'm In You be released so they can fatten their bank accounts. Those people are full of rot! Love on ya Peter!
What happened? He got old like we all do after an in incredible career. I loved him in Humble Pie and I loved his solo career and would pay good money to see him if he comes close to where I live.
No mention of the story bout how his lost guitar was discovered and brought back to him. That was a great story and should've been discussed. Love frampton!
I don't know who this 'Rodney' is, but it was my earliest childhood friend, Jon 'JD' Dworkow, who was with Peter Frampton when that cargo plane crashed in Caracas in 1980. Peter would later send Jon back to Caracas in search of his famous Black Les Paul. I first met Jon when I was five years old when he showed up at my house with a cake his sister baked, and we became very close friends for a number of years. He was working for my brother and his band when my brother had his Les Paul stolen from him; the same Les Paul he had when he was on tour with Jimi Hendrix in 1970 (as guitarist for Buddy Miles). By 1978, my brother and his band was recording for A&M records with Ted Nugent's production team when his Les Paul was stolen from him. It was Jon 'JD' Dworkow who recovered that Les Paul for my brother (who then went on tour with Aerosmith with it). Two years later, Jon was on tour with Peter Frampton when that cargo plane crashed in Caracas, and Peter lost his Les Paul. Jon and I used to have a little rock n roll band when we were 10 years old, but we first met when we were five. That reminds me: Check out this video, early David Bowie (you can find it on youtube): "When I'm Five".
I still have my copy of comes alive. I bought it when it dropped and it has been well played . Being a double album is was also used to clean out the seeds and stock . 😆
The Rolling Stones piece was written by Cameron Crowe. His autobiography was made into a film, Almost Famous. Peter Frampton was technical consultant on that film. Cameron went on the road with the Allman Brothers and wrote about it for R.S. magazine. He was 16 years old at the time. He became a writer and director.
Almost Famous is NOT Frampton’s autobiography. The band Stillwater was primarily based on Allman Brothers Band. At the end of the day, there were many influences (Zeppelin, The Who, Aerosmith…) but ABB was the main one. And of course the character of “William” was entirely based on Cameron Crowe himself.
This was a Great Informative video about Peter and I always enjoyed his music in the 70's and beyond and I was unaware of his diagnosis but he can be sure that we will always play his music and remember what he accomplished. Also showed how David Bowie was the real deal to boot~!! I was happy to like and subscribe.
all i know is his guitar work with Humble Pie was brilliant, extremely melodic but still balls out rocking. listen to the live Humble Pie record, it’s killer
I was a Frampton fan when he was still with Humble Pie. I saw his '75 tour in Philadelphia and he kicked our asses. His backup band was Lynyrd Skynyrd...great show and we still cover a couple of his tunes. A deep respect for Peter... a great performer and a gentlman.
Oh yeah, Humble Pie! Great music taste! My first concert was HP in ‘70 at Fillmore East NYC. When Peter left them I went with him. What a great ride of songs and shows with Frampton for five years eh! He got his dream band, aka backup band, together in ‘75. That year on big tours he was still opening for top bands and he was a/the opening band for Skynyrd.
Comes alive was so awesome when it came out everyone wanted a guitar like his they wanted a talk box to sound just like him. Believe me I'm a bass player that grew up in this Ara and I own a talk box.
Remember my sister having this album, and only this album by him. Did it ever Rock Though ! Stands out like no other ! Someone says Frampton you know exactly what they are talking about !!
Humble Pie, 30 days in the hole was a great song! I bought Frampton Comes Alive the day it hit the record stores. I even remember him being in TEEN magazine. LOL!
The rock fan base he wanted to entertain felt betrayed by his live action Sgt Peppers Band movie. He chose exactly the vehicle what a teen throb poster boy would do, which made his fan base roll their eyes and yes, question his authenticity as a stadium-filling rocker.
What a terrible idea for a movie at that time, 1978, in the midst of the punk and disco revolutions with Grease and the 1950s filling any nostalgia void. The Bee Gees should have just rode the wave of their unprecedented disco adulation and left the Beatles and the 60s alone at that time. That and The Wiz in the same year, what on earth were these big music artists thinking getting involved in these shambolic turkeys so out of synergy with that vibrant time?
@@Friend2AllCats Slavery was banned nationwide in the U.S. in 1865, and in California from its admission to the union in 1850. The only person who put Peter Frampton in the movie was Peter Frampton.
Music changed for the worst and Rock `n Roll just couldnt keep up with the times. Frampton didn`t and its amazing that people of the rap and Taylor Swift years have even heard of him.
For a guy who truly reached the pinnacle of an art, he has always seemed to remain a very down to earth guy. I wish him the best.

He is going to be 75 in April, is dealing with Inclusion Body Myositis, but still going. He's an awesome man

Comes alive was a revelation when it was out in 76 and will always be the greatest live album of all time. For that Frampton can allways be proud.

Look up "Bad Finger". THERE'S a truly tragic story.
Very true.
That’s right, but the band name was Badfinger (one word); auto- correct is possibly to blame for the two word spelling.
Robbed of everything by Stan Polley, a greedy, criminal manager. Two members of the band lost their lives after struggling with depression for years.
Behind the scene, the music industry was crooked and filthy. The Small Faces got shafted by their manager. Look up the Payola scandal for another example.
I believe that Badfinger had the same manager as Led Zeppelin - but he was not really interested in them in the same way. Peter Grant was a nasty piece of work! Even physical violence was part of his recipe for success.

Was unbelievably good!!
It was the perm
Enjoyed Frampton from the Heard, Humble pie, Frampton solo work and saw the Comes alive tour in LA at the forum...
One of the best....
A double live album from a guy most people had never heard of is truly a remarkable feat
What an inspiring story about not giving up.
I don't think there will be another time like in 76 with Frampton Comes Alive. Crazy shit right there.
The amazing cache of albums that came out mid-70s was monumental. No need to start listing because... if you know, you know.
Peter Frampton is truly a legend. His music, especially "Frampton Comes Alive", has inspired generations. Thank you for the amazing melodies!

He's a sweetheart 💕 really down to earth!
Frampton was only slightly more successful than The Knack, and never had a US #1 like they did.
Peter had a jazz musician's sensibility, always able to outline the chord in a melodic and rhythmic way.

@@wot4me2Me too !
@@mikebunch5553 Ah, the good ol' days! When tickets were cheap and music was actually live (what a concept lol).
@wot4me2 Might have paid 12 a ticket?
@@mikebunch5553 I want to say $10, but that was a looong time ago so I could be off. It's still priceless to me, tho!
Saw him when he was with Humble Pie in the seventies at Hampton Coliseum in Virginia when I was in the Navy and still remember it as though it was yesterday.
For this, I envy you hugely. Was it the material from rocking the Filmore? (one of my best LP's ever)
Loved pie I think Peter knew he would always play second fiddle to Steve Marriott anyone would don't know if you heard live in San Francisco 1972 with clempson replacement
As a DJ producer on my local community radio Frampton will always be the sound of that particular generation as he said they set you up 2 knock you down, enough said.
I have seen him live twice once at Peachtree City outside Atlanta Georgia, and once in Cardiff South Wales UK brilliant.
Just goes to show you don't do drugs! As David Crosby would say "I've never seen anything good come out of HARD drug abuse! nuff said!
I got to see him with David Bowie and his Glass Spider Tour several times. He was amazing. Bowie added Frampton for several reasons. They were friends since boyhood; Peter's dad was Bowie's art teacher. Bowie wanted to put Peter back in the spotlight as his record execs were busy looking for the money elsewhere after they ruined his career by demanding the I'm In You be released so they can fatten their bank accounts. Those people are full of rot! Love on ya Peter!
I saw the Glass Spider Tour! Frampton got a great ovation from everyone!
His live in Chicago show is one of the best concerts I have seen, by anyone.
At the public pool in 1976 in Idaho they played Frampton Comes Alive through the scratchy speakers. It was glorious. I was nine.
Nothing happend to Peter. He's just like the really coolest dude!!!
Frampton went to school with Bowie and they used to play together at school.
Frampton comes alive was a hard funk rock kickass music classic
He ain't poor,he lives in Indian hills, a suburb of Cincinnati, that's a rich place,get your sh*t right
What happened? He got old like we all do after an in incredible career. I loved him in Humble Pie and I loved his solo career and would pay good money to see him if he comes close to where I live.
No mention of the story bout how his lost guitar was discovered and brought back to him. That was a great story and should've been discussed. Love frampton!
I don't know who this 'Rodney' is, but it was my earliest childhood friend, Jon 'JD' Dworkow, who was with Peter Frampton when that cargo plane crashed in Caracas in 1980. Peter would later send Jon back to Caracas in search of his famous Black Les Paul. I first met Jon when I was five years old when he showed up at my house with a cake his sister baked, and we became very close friends for a number of years. He was working for my brother and his band when my brother had his Les Paul stolen from him; the same Les Paul he had when he was on tour with Jimi Hendrix in 1970 (as guitarist for Buddy Miles). By 1978, my brother and his band was recording for A&M records with Ted Nugent's production team when his Les Paul was stolen from him. It was Jon 'JD' Dworkow who recovered that Les Paul for my brother (who then went on tour with Aerosmith with it). Two years later, Jon was on tour with Peter Frampton when that cargo plane crashed in Caracas, and Peter lost his Les Paul. Jon and I used to have a little rock n roll band when we were 10 years old, but we first met when we were five. That reminds me: Check out this video, early David Bowie (you can find it on youtube): "When I'm Five".
Love PF
My memories as a young teen are of Frampton in the Heard playing "From the Underworld"
i think Peter Frampton is an amazing musician !!!
Try to name another band or musician who became famous with a live album.
Cheap Trick is the only one that comes to mind.
Can't believe the rest of the story. Still love his music the best was in 76.
Frampton a great human being❤
I still have my copy of comes alive. I bought it when it dropped and it has been well played . Being a double album is was also used to clean out the seeds and stock . 😆
There ain't much moew "1970s" than that!
The Rolling Stones piece was written by Cameron Crowe. His autobiography was made into a film, Almost Famous. Peter Frampton was technical consultant on that film.
Cameron went on the road with the Allman Brothers and wrote about it for R.S. magazine. He was 16 years old at the time. He became a writer and director.
Almost Famous is NOT Frampton’s autobiography. The band Stillwater was primarily based on Allman Brothers Band. At the end of the day, there were many influences (Zeppelin, The Who, Aerosmith…) but ABB was the main one. And of course the character of “William” was entirely based on Cameron Crowe himself.
@@IvanLendl87 You misread. It IS Cameron Crowes. Frampton (as I wrote before) was an adviser on the film.
This was a Great Informative video about Peter and I always enjoyed his music in the 70's and beyond and I was unaware of his diagnosis but he can be sure that we will always play his music and remember what he accomplished. Also showed how David Bowie was the real deal to boot~!! I was happy to like and subscribe.
How i hate UA-cam clickbait.
iconic person
Peter is one of the greatest guitarists in the world. I love his playing and all his music. He’s still loved today and is an incredible performer.
all i know is his guitar work with Humble Pie was brilliant, extremely melodic but still balls out rocking. listen to the live Humble Pie record, it’s killer
He’s a super genuine soul ❤.
I was a Frampton fan when he was still with Humble Pie. I saw his '75 tour in Philadelphia and he kicked our asses. His backup band was Lynyrd Skynyrd...great show and we still cover a couple of his tunes. A deep respect for Peter... a great performer and a gentlman.
Oh yeah, Humble Pie! Great music taste! My first concert was HP in ‘70 at Fillmore East NYC. When Peter left them I went with him. What a great ride of songs and shows with Frampton for five years eh! He got his dream band, aka backup band, together in ‘75. That year on big tours he was still opening for top bands and he was a/the opening band for Skynyrd.
Still hot!🎉
From fame to greatness
Comes alive was so awesome when it came out everyone wanted a guitar like his they wanted a talk box to sound just like him. Believe me I'm a bass player that grew up in this Ara and I own a talk box.
Remember my sister having this album, and only this album by him. Did it ever Rock Though ! Stands out like no other ! Someone says Frampton you know exactly what they are talking about !!
Saw Frampton at the Montreal Forum August 16th 1977. The day Elvis died.
Whoa! Iconic in multiple ways.
Humble Pie, 30 days in the hole was a great song! I bought Frampton Comes Alive the day it hit the record stores. I even remember him being in TEEN magazine. LOL!
Don’t forget Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous!!!
The rock fan base he wanted to entertain felt betrayed by his live action Sgt Peppers Band movie. He chose exactly the vehicle what a teen throb poster boy would do, which made his fan base roll their eyes and yes, question his authenticity as a stadium-filling rocker.
What a terrible idea for a movie at that time, 1978, in the midst of the punk and disco revolutions with Grease and the 1950s filling any nostalgia void. The Bee Gees should have just rode the wave of their unprecedented disco adulation and left the Beatles and the 60s alone at that time. That and The Wiz in the same year, what on earth were these big music artists thinking getting involved in these shambolic turkeys so out of synergy with that vibrant time?
Frampton didn't choose to be in the movie from what I know
@@Friend2AllCats Slavery was banned nationwide in the U.S. in 1865, and in California from its admission to the union in 1850. The only person who put Peter Frampton in the movie was Peter Frampton.
Music changed for the worst and Rock `n Roll just couldnt keep up with the times. Frampton didn`t and its amazing that people of the rap and Taylor Swift years have even heard of him.
My very first concert in OKC many many years ago ❤
