Peter said that he composed this song in the morning and "Baby I love your way" in the afternoon. Never again had such a day of inspiration again no matter how hard he has tried in every way possible. Saludos desde 🇦🇷Argentina🇦🇷
Absolutely, popcorn, same as anything, all any of us can do is to put ourselves in the best position to take advantage of opportunity when it strikes. Dramatic to say, but you have to imagine that their careers were leading up to such a day in no small way, and the inspiration that gave us such incredible music would have likely gone to waste, or lived forever as a half-written tune in the artist's mind and hands, without all the hard work and practice they put in up to that point.
@@missbelled6700 It is a picturesque anecdote that adorns the artist's history. As an architect I do not believe in spontaneous inspiration but creation as a product of effort and personal capacity, which I am sure Peter had to make those songs

How many of you ladies had a major crush on Peter Frampton??? Got his album when I was 15! Had his posters on my wall. The good old days!! Thanks for playing this, Jamel!
I had wall to wall pictures of Peter Frampton on my walls. Couldn’t see the green paint! Thank you tiger beat and every other publication that I could get my hands on. I was a Frampton freek!
Such a tremendous career, Humble Pie and The Herd. His "Frampton Live" was owned by nearly every rock and roller in the Country. I know I wore my first copy out. So sad it's over due to illness. I met him back in the 80's. Very cordial and friendly. Great Stuff. Thanks
Awesome job that makes me smile from ear to JAW...had a stroke on July 5th and now I am recognizing the little things.... thanks bro Jamel and I love all your help in getting through this.... May God bless you and your family and all of us..
I was there, too! I came back from the restroom and the Mummers were onstage. My friends tried to tell me they made an announcement that Peter broke his wrist and the Mummers were filling in for him! 🤣😂🤣😂
Dan Michalik live in SPRINGFIELD please my dad was there and i can hear him wistle... that sound ill never forget... "get your ass home sound". when my curfew was up
I read an article about that song that said an amazing true fact: that song doesn't just have one of the greatest guitar solos in rock history, it has FOUR of the greatest guitar solos in rock history.
Y-E-S!!!!!Yeah!!!!! Whoo-hoo! I love me some Peter Frampton! I was able to see Peter Frampton before he retired. I am sending Thoughts and prayers to Peter Frampton for playing the soundtrack to my youth. Thank You Peter for all your music 🎶
You know how some songs have a special meaning - because they were playing at special moments? I remember this song and when the lyric said - "I can't believe this is happening - to me" made me take notice and locked that moment in my brain for the rest of my live. It's been 44 years, and every time I hear this song - I smile.
I love this idea of midnight special Monday I’m at an age where I wasn’t supposed to stay up late to watch midnight special but I did because my mother loved music and if it was someone that I really really loved sometime she would wake me up no VCRs or DVrs back in that day lolololl
I am just barely too young to have caught The Midnight Special when it originally aired. Once I found out about it, I couldn't believe I missed out on live rock concerts on TV every week for years.
Remember staying up to watch. It was so great. Also remember getting Wolfman Jack on WLS from Chicago back in the late 60s early 70s on my tiny transistor with earphones because my father would have a fit if he had to hear it. He loved cowboy music- and I don't mean Country- and opera.
❤️Peter Frampton. I was finally able to see him back in the 90’s. He was fantastic of course and sat in on a band I didn’t know plus 1/2 hour wait so I could have a front seat.

The first high-powered Talk Box was developed by Bob Heil. Heil came up with the first high-powered Talk Box that could be reliable when used on high-level rock stages.
Oh, yeah. Peter Frampton! My favorite song from him & I know you don't swing towards the fellas but, Peter was a SUPER HOTTIE. Thanks for the reaction & memories.
But, did you Have Blue Oyster Cult's Secret Treaties or Ram Jam? I'm not trying to insult, I promise, it's just the first 2 albums I wore out before Comes Alive. Ram Jam's 404 is a touch better than Black Betty, but Black Betty had that blues groove being a "borrowed" song.
Thanks for your reaction to Mr. Frampton, Jamel..... I had this album and I remember playing it while I was sewing clothes for myself and my daughter. After I'd put my daughter to bed, I'd sew until 2-3 in the morning. Because it was an album, it would just keep playing over and over. When I listened to the beginning here, I was right back in my kitchen sewing. Take care and be well. Sending a hello to Mrs. Jamel. Peace.
I have met this man on several occasions and he is not only a complete gentleman ..But very very shy, I believe he is one the most underrated guitarists of all time.
This song reminds me so much of my younger brother, who passed about 10 years ago due to complications from a motorcycle accident. Frampton Comes Alive was his first album and he played it constantly. Thank you Jamel 💜
The album this became famous from, Frampton Comes Alive was a huge album. Biggest album of 1976 and one of the largest selling live albums of all time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frampton_Comes_Alive! And while he wasn't the first to use it, he certainly popularized the talk box effect (which is not a vocoder as it is sometimes referred to).
1976 was my first year at uni and due to the influence of many teenage boys my music taste changed totally. Loved Peter Frampton, Queen, Eric Clapton Eagles, Chicago Fleetwood Mac.....etc You are bringing backck many memories 🤩
Also the " talk box " used by Frampton was given to him by none other than Joe Walsh who used it on his own hit " Rocky Mountain Way ". Happy 40th Jamel ! Check out some James Gang with Joe Walsh. Peace out !
@@rogerdaly6326 It was Alvino Rey who introduced Frampton to the "talk box". There are videos on youtube where they talk about it. Frampton says Rey gave him a talk box. Rey doesn't remember it that way and says he never gave him one. Not sure who's right on that. So it's possible Walsh did give a "talk box" to Frampton and Pete just mis-remembers it all.
Tejas Rob , there are a lot of artist who can't remember a good portion of the late 60's & 70's ! Regardless of how he came upon it , thank god he did cause it changed his life & our lives forever ! Rock on !
In 1979, my husband (my high school sweetheart) looked just like that. Lots of wonderful memories. Saw Frampton in Columbus Ohio in 2013. He was just as great as the old days. Love that era! Rock on!!
Why Frampton wasn't considered as one of the hardest rockers of all time is a shame. I think both Frampton comes alive and Robin Trower live are the 2 best live albums I've ever heard.
When it comes to the Talk-Box, Peter Frampton is the king of using the device. Not only is he the originator, Frampton used it through out many of his songs like “Show Me The Way” and of course “Do You Feel Like We Do?” which appeared on Frampton Comes Alive!
The “Tube”, aka talk box is a very elegant, low tech effect and Frampton owned that effect. Nobody could use it better than he did. A speaker is tightly sealed to a box and the only outlet for the sound is through the tube. The performer has a foot pedal that can switch the sound output between the normal amplifier or the talk box. The person then alters the sound from the instrument by the shape of their mouth, including ‘talking’ without using the vocal cords but the instrument sound coming from the tube. Frampton did not invent it but he was a virtuoso in its use.
Back in the day Peter Frampton’s “Frampton Comes Alive” album was the top selling album and was considered the best live album ever produced for decades. He opened the door for other bands like KISS, Jimmy Buffet, and others to put out live albums that became classics.
Sam LaVerne I really liked Buffet’s “You Had to Be There”.... it’s out of publication today.. it was replaced by a newer live album that isn’t nearly as good.
Too bad 80% of it is studio overdubs. Attack all you want, I got it from ppl who were there. I have family at Columbia (Or what was Columbia before Sony raped and killed it for disco).
Brutha, you crack me up! Thanks for playing this song! I believe I suggested it, but given how great it is I would think I was just one of thousands! BTW, this song, along with many others from Frampton, were very popular during my high school years.
I fist heard this in the Summer of 1975 walking through a park in Edinburgh going home from school it was on a small radio that i had and it blew me away which led me to buy my first album when i left school in 1976 of my very first wage and it was Frampton comes alive. Still to this day my favourite album.
As the song progresses, notice he is talking about a girl. He is so messed up, so out of it, because of infatuation for her. He wants HER to show him the way to her heart. Okay, and maybe to the rest of her too.
Always loved The Midnight Special and looked forward to it every week. Also Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. That was mainly how we checked out bands back then. Saturday Night Live's musical guests was another source. And then a little later there was a show called Fridays that had musical guests. Only lasted a couple years around 1980 but still remember seeing live music on there too.
I love Don Kirshner's Rock Concert on Saturday's late nights and Midnight Special was on late nights Friday! Then Soul Train came on on Saturday Mornings.
DK’s RC was a staple...certainly, SNL brought musical artists front/center during 70s as well...I remember Friday’s as well, I believe Michael Richards (Cosmo Kraemer fr Seinfeld) was on that show
I heard this song on the radio when it came out and I lost my mind. For the longest time I did hear the name or who was singing. I went around to everyone I knew asking, "Have you heard this song that goes like this...?" I actually saw Peter Frampton at the Forum in LA. Great show. Listen to "Frampton Comes Alive". Well worth your time.
Anaheim stadium 1976..Frampton had this beauty of a stratocaster,glossy black w/Red trim he cut lose on that guitar from the git. His Les Paul came out around the half way mark of the show,I was working at the stadium as an electrician for the first show,a second show was added,it sold out in a matter of hours. Those two Frampton shows were unforgettable.
Only problem I had with "Midnight Special" was they had to "time slot" everything so no long play or freelancing, that why Hocus-pocus Focus is the way it is...
Same with shows like Bandstand. But you could tell the talent back then. You have to realize that shows like that was before MTV. That's why most of the videos from the 70s and early 80s were basically performance based. By the time MTV got launched, it became more like mini movies. Look at Billie Jean and Thriller, Duran Duran, Madonna and many artists from that era.
I remember a huge Peter Frampton poster in my bedroom. Saw him on his 35th Anniversary of Frampton Comes Alive tour and just n bought his book. He is a LEGEND. One of the greatest guitarists / songwriters ever.
Joe Walsh has used the talk box too. I have no idea who was first, but it's definitely cool if done right! Currently trying to learn this one on bass. It's not real difficult but I don't get as much practice time as I'd like.
Glad to see you mention Zapp and Roger. Roger was an amazing artist, sometimes playing five or six instruments in one song (as well as singing.) I’d like to see a react to one of their videos! Roger did say he started using the Talk Box after seeing Peter Frampton use it.
His music was so cool. His long hair is gone with a shiny dome in its place. Found out that Stevie Wonder used one in ‘72 and Joe Walsh used one in ‘73. They made their own. Bob Heil made the first commercially built ones and Frampton was the first to use his on an album.
Which reminds me: now that he doesn't look like Shaun Cassidy with a guitar anymore, can we get past the look and admit that Peter Frampton is one of the most criminally underrated rock guitarists in history on pure merit? He was always SO much more than just a pretty face.
That band was so good. A 4 piece that created a wall of sound. Frampton is also one of the most honest and nicest people you would ever meet. Just met him passing. He was polite as I did a bit of being a "fan boy".
I'm 63 and still feel very young when I hear this. Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end we'd sing and dance.. (that's another song).
Theres a whole story behind the losing and regaining of that Black beauty Les Paul guitar. It's quite interesting, to say the least. Can be found here on youtube.
He's still playing, he just released a happy birthday video for Ringo Starr. Peter Frampton is a class act and bomb guitarist and musician. Love. ❤ Thank you Jamel.
There was a bar where I used to live in the late '80s early '90s that I think the requirement for any band playing there was they had to play Dixie Chicken. Good times.
I saw Frampton a few years ago at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Awesome show. I never really listened to him, but my father in law is a huge fan, so my wife told me he was a good live show. So glad we did, since he's not touring anymore.
Oh my oh my finally my man!!! I went to bed every night with Frampton and woke up every morning with this man looking at me! I had posters of Frampton hanging on my ceiling over my bed...😳😜😘
Happy Monday! Frampton's a great start. I saw him at The Omni in Atl in 1977 in the middle of the "Comes Alive\I'm in You" domination. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" was the current hit. A stand-out memory from those arena concert teen years.
Oh God! What a lot of memories associated with this song! Jamel you have no idea how POPULAR this album was! Frampton Comes Alive! Takes me right back to my junior year in college!
I freakin' love the 'do!!! I've missed afro's so much. I loved it when the kids came to school with their pick in their hair for some strange reason. lol This came out in my early high school years, when Disco was King. All of us girls had the hots for Peter Frampton. You should listen to "Do You Feel Like We Do" That is the song that got all of us girls.
Jamel taking it to another level - love Frampton love Midnight Special. I think my husband is getting jealous because I am enjoying your reactions so much.
Jamel, check out Peter Frampton’s “Lines on My Face.” It features his amazing guitar skills. There are some recent videos of it on UA-cam. Unfortunately, Peter’s developed a muscle wasting disease that will eventually take away his ability to play the guitar. Very sad.
Loved your commentary ! :D I believe Peter was the first to introduce the mouth thing ,.... we all thought he was making his guitar talk .. I ws born in 1966 .... oh, and the lyricis are " I'm swimming in circles " not ' i'm sweeping in circles .' ..haha ... love this !
The Album Frampton Comes Alive was FLAWLESS! *Addendum* You should check out DO YOU Feel Like We Do? it's kinda long but the one from Frampton Comes Alive it amazing.
There is a live version of Do You Feel Like We Do from the Midnight Special as well, but I they cut the length down a bit from the Frampton Comes Alive version.
@@threwthelookingglass7194 - yeah I've seen a few different live versions, they all rock I liked them all. That Album has a special place in my heart as it's the only one that I bought three copies of on vinyl because I knew my friends and I would wear them all out and of course we did. The 70s, what a time to be young and alive.
Yay Jamel, Peter Frampton is amazing! He was the guitarist for Humble Pie back in the day, please do Humble Pie I Walk On Guilded Splinters from Rockin The Fillmore, appreciate you bro!
Lawd have mercy, Jamel! This took me back to my freshman year of college when my RA asked me out to a Peter Frampton concert at the Oakland Coliseum in 1975! One of the hottest songs and albums at that time. Frampton appeared with the late great Eddie Money and a little group called Fleetwood Mac. Awesome concert for a neophyte new to California. Love, love, love your Midnight Special Mondays! I spent many a Friday (?) nights staying up late to watch those shows. Good times! Oh, and Frampton was first with the mouth harp. Roger came about 5 years later if my memory serves me correctly.
@@bigdav47 Yes, the school was right across the street from her house. I guess Bob Geldof heard about it and the song title is the reason she gave for going on the shooting spree. IIRC, a principal or vice principal was killed and some students injured. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Elementary_School_shooting_(San_Diego)
When Frampton & I were both younger, I wanted hair like his. Now that I'm in my 60s and Frampton's in his 70s I finally got my wish. I have hair like Frampton's.
The last time I saw him was in 2014 in Tucson with BB King (so happy I got to see BB before he passed away; he was still magic) and Buddy Guy. One of the most memorable concert experiences!
Do You Feel Like We Do off Frampton Comes Alive is a must.
Absolutely!!!!!!
that song always takes me back the song feels like summer
At the Midnight Special
Frampton Comes Alive is arguably one of the greatest live albums of that era.
Yep, Live in Oakland Day on the Green in 1976 is the I would use to react too!
Jamel, he has one of the best live albums ever: 'Frampton Comes Alive'.
He was also pretty good when he was in Humble Pie. He and Steve could rock.
Ahhhh... My first concert. Peter Frampton @ the Inglewood Forum.
Jamel, Frampton Comes Alive is probably the most successful live album ever recorded.
The best
The first album I ever bought and still have it!!
The seventies - the decade when a man could wear a floral shirt and satin pants on stage and no one questioned his sexuality.
That made me giggle a LOT.
He looks positively butch compared to the cutoff halter tops Geddy Lee was wearing back then.
@@trappenweisseguy27

in that time frame, with that outfit, everyone knew Exactly who you were! Was all about the Ladies, what a time!
Todays youth think they invented gender bending

Every time I hear this song on the radio or in a movie it always makes me think that life was so simple back in the 70’s.
Omg! Ain’t that the truth!
me too gives me chills thinking about that too
Ikr. Even tho I was just a kid. Magical...then 80s teen was as well for me.
Perfect way to say it...simply
I feel ya! What a joyous time that was.

Frampton Comes Alive was a requirement to own as a teenage boy in the '70s. Had mine!
I had it on cassette tape in Jr high school. Played it so much I wore it out.

The album this became famous from, Frampton Comes Alive was a huge album. Biggest album of 1976 and one of the largest selling live albums of all time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frampton_Comes_Alive! And while he wasn't the first to use it, he certainly popularized the talk box effect (which is not a vocoder as it is sometimes referred to).
When you open the double Lp was a picture of almost a full poster of Peter!
Tim Arnold only recording of my dadz...." get your ass home whistle"...
@@tigerback62 Double albums were also good for separating seeds from certain leafy plants. Or so I'm told...
‘It came in the mail with boxes of tide.’
1976 was my first year at uni and due to the influence of many teenage boys my music taste changed totally. Loved Peter Frampton, Queen, Eric Clapton Eagles, Chicago Fleetwood Mac.....etc You are bringing backck many memories 🤩
Love this so much. Peter Frampton was enjoying himself here and I'm right there with him. ✌️ Thanks Jamel, I dig you.
Zapp wasn't formed till 1977. Peter Frampton released this song in 1975.
👍🏾 Thank You🙏🏾
Also the " talk box " used by Frampton was given to him by none other than Joe Walsh who used it on his own hit " Rocky Mountain Way ". Happy 40th Jamel ! Check out some James Gang with Joe Walsh. Peace out !
@@rogerdaly6326 It was Alvino Rey who introduced Frampton to the "talk box". There are videos on youtube where they talk about it. Frampton says Rey gave him a talk box. Rey doesn't remember it that way and says he never gave him one. Not sure who's right on that. So it's possible Walsh did give a "talk box" to Frampton and Pete just mis-remembers it all.
Tejas Rob , there are a lot of artist who can't remember a good portion of the late 60's & 70's ! Regardless of how he came upon it , thank god he did cause it changed his life & our lives forever ! Rock on !
Joe Perry had a talk box around that time (1975) also which he used on "Sweet Emotion."
In 1979, my husband (my high school sweetheart) looked just like that. Lots of wonderful memories.
Saw Frampton in Columbus Ohio in 2013. He was just as great as the old days.
Love that era! Rock on!!
Why Frampton wasn't considered as one of the hardest rockers of all time is a shame. I think both Frampton comes alive and Robin Trower live are the 2 best live albums I've ever heard.
Listen to him seriously rock on Humble Pie Rockin the Fillmore
I prefer the King Biscuit Flower Hour more but man Trower rips up Little Bit Of Sympathy on Live
When it comes to the Talk-Box, Peter Frampton is the king of using the device. Not only is he the originator, Frampton used it through out many of his songs like “Show Me The Way” and of course “Do You Feel Like We Do?” which appeared on Frampton Comes Alive!
The “Tube”, aka talk box is a very elegant, low tech effect and Frampton owned that effect. Nobody could use it better than he did.
A speaker is tightly sealed to a box and the only outlet for the sound is through the tube. The performer has a foot pedal that can switch the sound output between the normal amplifier or the talk box. The person then alters the sound from the instrument by the shape of their mouth, including ‘talking’ without using the vocal cords but the instrument sound coming from the tube.
Frampton did not invent it but he was a virtuoso in its use.
Baby I Love Your Way live is a must. Still one of my Mother's favorite songs of all time....... miss you Momma.
Back in the day Peter Frampton’s “Frampton Comes Alive” album was the top selling album and was considered the best live album ever produced for decades.
He opened the door for other bands like KISS, Jimmy Buffet, and others to put out live albums that became classics.
Sam LaVerne I really liked Buffet’s “You Had to Be There”.... it’s out of publication today.. it was replaced by a newer live album that isn’t nearly as good.
Too bad 80% of it is studio overdubs. Attack all you want, I got it from ppl who were there. I have family at Columbia (Or what was Columbia before Sony raped and killed it for disco).
Damaged262 I think you’re thinking about KISS Alive. It was a fake “live” album. Frampton’s was done live.
Brutha, you crack me up! Thanks for playing this song! I believe I suggested it, but given how great it is I would think I was just one of thousands! BTW, this song, along with many others from Frampton, were very popular during my high school years.
I fist heard this in the Summer of 1975 walking through a park in Edinburgh going home from school it was on a small radio that i had and it blew me away which led me to buy my first album when i left school in 1976 of my very first wage and it was Frampton comes alive. Still to this day my favourite album.
That song had been requested quite often, I believe. I feel as though this was the perfect backdrop to finally appreciate it.
As the song progresses, notice he is talking about a girl. He is so messed up, so out of it, because of infatuation for her. He wants HER to show him the way to her heart.
Okay, and maybe to the rest of her too.
Had the pleasure of seeing Peter in the late 70's and then again in the late 90's. Still rockin' and looking fine...lol! ❤👍😉
Always loved The Midnight Special and looked forward to it every week. Also Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. That was mainly how we checked out bands back then. Saturday Night Live's musical guests was another source. And then a little later there was a show called Fridays that had musical guests. Only lasted a couple years around 1980 but still remember seeing live music on there too.
I love Don Kirshner's Rock Concert on Saturday's late nights and Midnight Special was on late nights Friday! Then Soul Train came on on Saturday Mornings.
That's the way it should be. Makes you appreciate concerts and albums more.
DK’s RC was a staple...certainly, SNL brought musical artists front/center during 70s as well...I remember Friday’s as well, I believe Michael Richards (Cosmo Kraemer fr Seinfeld) was on that show
Yes! Those were the days. Damn I'm old 😃
I heard this song on the radio when it came out and I lost my mind. For the longest time I did hear the name or who was singing. I went around to everyone I knew asking, "Have you heard this song that goes like this...?" I actually saw Peter Frampton at the Forum in LA. Great show. Listen to "Frampton Comes Alive". Well worth your time.
DO YOU FEEL LIKE WE DO- PETER FRAMPTON the version off Frampton Comes Alive
Peter Frampton OMG I remember hearing him for the first time❤❤❤and he still gives me goosebumps
You cannot not do “Do You Feel Like We Do?” now. Not the radio edit either... the Frampton Comes Alive album version. It’s a must!
Anaheim stadium 1976..Frampton had this beauty of a stratocaster,glossy black w/Red trim he cut lose on that guitar from the git.
His Les Paul came out around the half way mark of the show,I was working at the stadium as an electrician for the first show,a second show was added,it sold out in a matter of hours.
Those two Frampton shows were unforgettable.
I’m so enjoying your channel; listening to the golden oldies from my childhood and discovering some new artists with you.
Only problem I had with "Midnight Special" was they had to "time slot" everything so no long play or freelancing, that why Hocus-pocus Focus is the way it is...
"We've got four minutes? Screw cutting up the song, we'll just play it so fast that a seven-minute track fits." 😆👍
YES!!!!!! I forgot that!
But, That's all we had back in the day!
Same with shows like Bandstand. But you could tell the talent back then. You have to realize that shows like that was before MTV. That's why most of the videos from the 70s and early 80s were basically performance based. By the time MTV got launched, it became more like mini movies. Look at Billie Jean and Thriller, Duran Duran, Madonna and many artists from that era.
I remember a huge Peter Frampton poster in my bedroom. Saw him on his 35th Anniversary of Frampton Comes Alive tour and just n bought his book. He is a LEGEND. One of the greatest guitarists / songwriters ever.
Joe Walsh has used the talk box too. I have no idea who was first, but it's definitely cool if done right! Currently trying to learn this one on bass. It's not real difficult but I don't get as much practice time as I'd like.
Joe Walsh used it on Rocky Mountain Way in '73
Peace...out
@@astrogoodvibes6164 Alvino Rey invented the talk box and was the first to use it.
@@redarmysoja Yeah, I'm aware of Alvino Rey innovating it, I was just answering CPR4LIFE's question as to whether Joe or Peter used it first.
Cheers
In an interview with Joe Walsh (marc maron, I think), he said Frampton called him up and asked for it after he heard it. Hand made, couldn't buy them.
@@jamess3490 Good stuff!
I had such a crush on him back in the day. Frampton Comes Alive was an LP i wore out!
"Do You Feel Like We Do?" - Just close your eyes, raise the volume, and be prepared to be taken to another dimension.
Awesome Reaction Love Peter Frampton! Thanks Jamel, for the memories!!🔥👍🔥👍
This is a great sing, done by a powerful Singer/Songwriter!!!! "COME ALIVE!"
Peter Frampton was my favorite when I was a kid. I saw him live in '79 and then in the 90's and again in 2014.
I absolutely love the new background and intro, I'm loving every minute of it ❤❤💥
Glad to see you mention Zapp and Roger. Roger was an amazing artist, sometimes playing five or six instruments in one song (as well as singing.) I’d like to see a react to one of their videos!
Roger did say he started using the Talk Box after seeing Peter Frampton use it.
His music was so cool. His long hair is gone with a shiny dome in its place. Found out that Stevie Wonder used one in ‘72 and Joe Walsh used one in ‘73. They made their own. Bob Heil made the first commercially built ones and Frampton was the first to use his on an album.
Which reminds me: now that he doesn't look like Shaun Cassidy with a guitar anymore, can we get past the look and admit that Peter Frampton is one of the most criminally underrated rock guitarists in history on pure merit? He was always SO much more than just a pretty face.
Joe Day absolutely agree. He still rocks it. Always enjoyed his playing.
Peter Frampton...what a talent...a big part of my teenage years...still listen to his music:)
Oh man, brings me directly back to the 70’s, good times, feelin’ free and 1st boyfriend✌️
Got the chance to see Peter Frampton and Gary Wright live in concert and sounded even better live. Wow, what memories that brings back!
Pedal Steel guitar player Alvino Rey back in 1939 was the first to "experiment with voice modulation through his instrument.
That band was so good. A 4 piece that created a wall of sound.
Frampton is also one of the most honest and nicest people you would ever meet. Just met him passing. He was polite as I did a bit of being a "fan boy".
Great start to Midnight Special Mondays!! Love the back ground green screen! Doing a great job Sir!! 👏👏👏👏
Thanks Karen🙏🏾
Frampton Endurance Power.
.... Thank all the Goodness!💪💞
Nice new segment! I would love to see your reaction to Argent - Hold Your Head Up
I'm 63 and still feel very young when I hear this. Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end we'd sing and dance.. (that's another song).
It's weird seeing him with a "Strat." I'm sure I've seen him with it before but I always associate Frampton with a three pickup "Les Paul."
Theres a whole story behind the losing and regaining of that Black beauty Les Paul guitar. It's quite interesting, to say the least. Can be found here on youtube.
I saw him in concert in 2013, The Guitar Circus. I think he played 6 different guitars and told all their stories.
Have you seen the video of Peter playing with The Ventures? He looks so thrilled
@@sunsungoaway nope, I'll have to look it up.
@sunsungoaway just saw, he's smiling his ass off.
He's still playing, he just released a happy birthday video for Ringo Starr. Peter Frampton is a class act and bomb guitarist and musician. Love. ❤ Thank you Jamel.
Midnight special- little feat “Dixie chicken “ I was in the audience
Man, that is such a great song!!!!
No shit?!? Lowell in bib overalls, Bonnie Raitt, maybe Emmylou Harris as well? Awesome!
No shit?!? Lowell in bib overalls, Bonnie Raitt, maybe Emmylou Harris as well? Awesome!
@@kevinkuckkan5102 AMEN!!
There was a bar where I used to live in the late '80s early '90s that I think the requirement for any band playing there was they had to play Dixie Chicken. Good times.
I saw Frampton a few years ago at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Awesome show. I never really listened to him, but my father in law is a huge fan, so my wife told me he was a good live show. So glad we did, since he's not touring anymore.
The 70’s had the best music!
Oh my oh my finally my man!!! I went to bed every night with Frampton and woke up every morning with this man looking at me! I had posters of Frampton hanging on my ceiling over my bed...😳😜😘
I've been waiting for this! Luv ur intro! Peter Frampton Rocks✌
Happy Monday! Frampton's a great start. I saw him at The Omni in Atl in 1977 in the middle of the "Comes Alive\I'm in You" domination. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" was the current hit. A stand-out memory from those arena concert teen years.
Ya know, i have to confess I never tried to figure out the lyrics... just looking at him was enough 😁
You know it!
Omg,,,you took me right back to my high school days,,,,Peter Framton is the persona of the 70's,,,love it,,,,
Aaaaaahh yeah!!!! Bring it on, brother! Knowing this was coming honestly did make me look forward to Monday instead of the usual dread!
👍🏾
Oh God! What a lot of memories associated with this song! Jamel you have no idea how POPULAR this album was! Frampton Comes Alive! Takes me right back to my junior year in college!
No, he's talking about his girlfriend at that time. Watch the interview from American Bandstand with Dick Clark.
Funny how you are talking about the lyrics and meanings and all I can think of is how much I was in love with Peter Frampton. 🥰
I freakin' love the 'do!!! I've missed afro's so much. I loved it when the kids came to school with their pick in their hair for some strange reason. lol
This came out in my early high school years, when Disco was King. All of us girls had the hots for Peter Frampton. You should listen to "Do You Feel Like We Do" That is the song that got all of us girls.
My mom had a reddish brown afro wig, in the 70's. She looked like Babs in it. Sort of haha
Especially with the "extra talk" in the unrated live version. lol
Jamel taking it to another level - love Frampton love Midnight Special. I think my husband is getting jealous because I am enjoying your reactions so much.
Jamel, check out Peter Frampton’s “Lines on My Face.” It features his amazing guitar skills. There are some recent videos of it on UA-cam. Unfortunately, Peter’s developed a muscle wasting disease that will eventually take away his ability to play the guitar. Very sad.
My favorite Frampton song. The guitar solos are sublime!!
That brings back SOOOOOOOO MANY GREAT Memories!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
I was so stoked to see him perform this song live!
Loved your commentary ! :D I believe Peter was the first to introduce the mouth thing ,.... we all thought he was making his guitar talk .. I ws born in 1966 .... oh, and the lyricis are " I'm swimming in circles " not ' i'm sweeping in circles .' ..haha ... love this !
The Album Frampton Comes Alive was FLAWLESS! *Addendum* You should check out DO YOU Feel Like We Do? it's kinda long but the one from Frampton Comes Alive it amazing.
Anthony Timmons 🤜🏼🤛🏻
There is a live version of Do You Feel Like We Do from the Midnight Special as well, but I they cut the length down a bit from the Frampton Comes Alive version.
Jim Jeffcoat cool good to knlw the long version is the only one i like. it had my dad whistling, the curew get your ass home . miltary whistling
Anthony Timmons Watch "Do You Feel Like We Do (Live)" on UA-cam

@@threwthelookingglass7194 - yeah I've seen a few different live versions, they all rock I liked them all. That Album has a special place in my heart as it's the only one that I bought three copies of on vinyl because I knew my friends and I would wear them all out and of course we did. The 70s, what a time to be young and alive.
Thank you! I requested this! I'm not sure who used it first, but we knew it back in the day as a talk box.
Yay Jamel, Peter Frampton is amazing! He was the guitarist for Humble Pie back in the day, please do Humble Pie I Walk On Guilded Splinters from Rockin The Fillmore, appreciate you bro!
Lawd have mercy, Jamel! This took me back to my freshman year of college when my RA asked me out to a Peter Frampton concert at the Oakland Coliseum in 1975! One of the hottest songs and albums at that time. Frampton appeared with the late great Eddie Money and a little group called Fleetwood Mac. Awesome concert for a neophyte new to California. Love, love, love your Midnight Special Mondays! I spent many a Friday (?) nights staying up late to watch those shows. Good times! Oh, and Frampton was first with the mouth harp. Roger came about 5 years later if my memory serves me correctly.
It’s always about a girl 😂😂
Frampton was HUGE! “Frampton Comes Alive” broke all records!
Try the Boomtown rats singing "I don't like mondays" lol.
Bagging machine I love that song 💗
Do you know the inspiration for that song?
@@cherylcercopely5496 yes it's about a girl who goes on a killing spree as I understand?
@@bigdav47 Yes, the school was right across the street from her house. I guess Bob Geldof heard about it and the song title is the reason she gave for going on the shooting spree. IIRC, a principal or vice principal was killed and some students injured.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_Elementary_School_shooting_(San_Diego)
When Frampton & I were both younger, I wanted hair like his. Now that I'm in my 60s and Frampton's in his 70s I finally got my wish. I have hair like Frampton's.
Hope the mountains were pleasant. Nice to unwind.
Yes indeed👍🏾
The last time I saw him was in 2014 in Tucson with BB King (so happy I got to see BB before he passed away; he was still magic) and Buddy Guy. One of the most memorable concert experiences!
