In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm listening to music from Peter Frampton for the first time on the channel. Of course, I had to start with Do You Feel Like We Do from Frampton Comes Alive. While I was aware of this song and of the talk box effect, this was truly my first full listen of this classic tune. I loved the experience, and I even played along a bit at the keyboard. I hope you enjoy!

Right after the talkbox part where he sings "Wellllll" and the band comes in full is one of the best moments in recorded rock history. Gives me goosebumps it's so good. And I think Bob Mayo's keyboard solo is hands down is one of the greatest keyboard solos of all time.
I've been listening to this since I was 10 years old. It never gets old. You stay parked in your car to let the song run to end.
Absolutely!
Yes! That's where all the old heads would crank their 8tracks, Sparkomatic of course🤘
The outtro solo is just an absolute all-timer. The Talkbox gets the press, but the guitar solo is IT.
Yep the tension release from the simmering Talkbox section to the solo at the end is a masterclass in dynamics in my opinion. So much modern music seems to have zero dynamics at all.
Right on
Flawless and Epic!
There were so many moments of payoff in this song. The listener was constantly rewarded for sticking with it and it was altogether a complete ride. Epic song!
Unless you're Doug and you play your keyboard over all the best parts lol. I wish he wouldn't pick songs with musical solos, he always talks/plays over them.
@@somethingbl 🃏🤡
@somethingblue Find the original track/video, don't kinda complain here! I believe this IS The Daily Doug. Am I wrong?? (Get my point, Blue?)
Today I saw your reaction for the first time. Enjoined immensly your inteligent comments and also I had immediatly certain that you've got a good back ground on classic music: I saw reaction to Shine on You Crazy Diamond and Do You Feel Like We Do.
I'm 56 years old and a rock lover all my life. However, as my father had a music (pianno) degree, I grow up listening my father playing Chopin, Mozart, Bach, and also had pianno lessons. I simply love music, all kind but it has to be good. Well composed, produced, performed and, since 1998, above all, without computers and autotune.
Sorry for all this long comment but I just want to congratulate for your accurate information, your sensibility to rock being a classic professional. Both reactions were, to me, a pleasure to hear and, in Peter Frampton's reaction, your hands in the pianno, loved it.
Thanking again for showing that, when we hear music with quality, its gender dosen't matter at all. So sorry for my miserable english and greatings from Portugal
@@mariadorosarioalvesrodrigu6610 Your English is fine. Thank you for contributing to the discussion.
The solo after the talk-box ends just gives me goose bumps.
The end solo in this song is the reason I went and got guitar lessons. It is shattering
The ending solo is one of rocks greatest moments.
Yup! Don't think Doug heard it though 😂
@@andyrichardson9981 Someone take his piano away...lol....
You nailed it.
This song is the very definition of the mid/late seventies, for me; "...must have been a dream, I don't believe where I've been. Come on! Let's do it again!"
Fun Facts: Frampton's father, Owen, was the art teacher at his high school. Owen also taught a boy there, a couple years older than Peter, known then as David Jones (and later as David Bowie). Owen was an important early influence for Bowie. In 1987, Peter played on Bowie's album "Never Let Me Down" and played on the Glass Spider tour.
Huh, Thats fun
I'm fortunate to have seen Bowie with Frampton on that Glass Spider tour. One of the most memorable concerts I've seen.
Frampton's guitar phrasing is so different from many others. Sings amazing. Seen him twice. And from all I've seen, just a really nice human being. Never seen anyone have as much fun on stage as he.
Yes, though Frampton loved Clapton/Cream and all the rest of the pentatonic dominant blues influenced players coming out Britain, but because he could see that would be the popular trend, he made a conscious effort early on to be different. Therefore, he turned to more jazz based blues players, such as Django, who his dad turned him on to, which led to others, like Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Kenny Burrell and non-guitarists such as Miles Davis. A mix of jazz, blues and rock. That combination inspired Frampton to create a unique style in which he often plays around the melody rather than hitting it straight on.
And I agree wholeheartedly with your other comments as well. One of the nicest, kindest people ever.
Completely agree. I've only seen him once, but he was having a ball the whole way through. One of those people who give the impression he'd carry on playing, even if it was to three people and a dog, just for the love of playing.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
@@davidhills3100 I agree totally. I think he'd play for one person. Very grounded and compassionate man.
I'm having a bad day with chemo side effects today and, having just watched & listened to that with you Doug, it brought me to tears of joy. It just shows how music can lift the spirits when you're feeling down. Frampton Comes Alive is a classic album. Music makes me feel alive when I need that lift. I enjoyed your participation on keyboards, too, as you got lost in the moment. Thanks for the entertainment. PS I was lucky enough to see Peter Frampton back in 2003.
🙏 ❤ 🎶
Not only one of the best live albums of all time, but one of the best SOUNDING live albums ever. Crank this one at home and you can almost imagine being at Winterland. 😊
About 20 years ago, when Circuit City was still open here...I committed retail mischief. Do You Feel Like We Do was playing on the local rock station, being broadcast on one of the display stereos. I went along the shelf and turned them all on and tuned them to the station, then cranked them all up. Didn't get kicked out... and to their credit they let it play. A fun memory for me. 😁✌️🎸🎹
This is my favorite live performance of any band, ever. This song in particular is a magical voyage that Peter and the band take us on with the audience. The audience is a part of the song, responding to his cues. Absolute perfection.
The whole album is amazing
It still is!
The ability of the rhythm section to just stay in that pocket and keep pace for almost 8 min always amazes me.
The audience also played such a huge part in the over-all performance on this album. They didn't cut them off...they let the audience play on.
Great comment
Winterland in San Francisco
Bob Mayo’s solo (rumored overdub or not) is perhaps the only example of advanced jazz blues playing of any hit song . Outstanding!
the electric piano solo on this track is the cherry on top of this musical sundae...
I graduated high school in '76. Saw him at my local community college before this album hit the charts! Humble Pie to Peter ... just brilliant and I'm old ... 🙂
Jealous, I turned 6 that year. My parents and subsequently my aunts and uncles were all young and as a result I was/am heavily influenced by the music of the 70s as much or more so than that of the 80s. I think 76 may be the greatest year for rock music ever, definitely one of the best for sure. I'm sad that I don't think they'll be new music this good ever again, but so glad we'll always have it to go back to time and again.
@@joelhammond4162 The same year, at the same college I also saw America ... damn they were good! Amazing sound and performances for a gymnasium ...
Big Frampton fan here. He was a big thing when I was in high school. I love Frampton's phrasing when he solos! Sophisticated lines. But always melodic & in the pocket.
I was 12 years old when this album came out. I was just floored. I begged my parents to buy it for me. I frantically peeled off the wrapping and put it on the turntable and played it from start to finish. It is one the few live albums that truly captures the energy and feeling of a artist at the top of their game. The band was such an amazing line up, you can hear how in sync they are together and that only comes from spending the time together. For me, this is the greatest live album of all time.
"Lines On My Face" is a must from this album. I was in sixth grade when I bought this album with my allowance money at the ol' TG&Y Dime Store. '76 was the Bicentennial year and so much great music was coming out in rock, funk, you name it! Seeing the adults and older kids partying like there was no tomorrow set the tone for what was to come for me and most kids I knew. It's just how it was. That 70's show in real life. Not always that funny, but oh so real. The whole album is killer there just isn't a bad cut on it. The sound track to coming of age...well at least starting to:)
Doug, the keyboardist was the late, great Bob Mayo, not "Bob May". His stellar Fender Rhodes electric piano work on this album was a huge influence on my playing and led to me plunking down some serious coin on a new Rhodes in 1979, which I still own. Bob's playing is sublime.
i first heard this when i came out, still give me goosebumps now. one of the best rock songs of all time. i lucked out one night and got to mix monitors for him. total dream come true. Frampton is awesome.
I've seen him in concert 3 times and got to meet him twice. Such a humble guy and so talented
I get the feeling that Doug will be listening to this song again on his own time.
Also. They would play this live version on my local radio station all the time back in the day.
Frampton's guitar solos in this tune are excellent! Bob Mayo was a damn good keyboard player. One of the great double albums of all time!
I saw Frampton at Madison Square Garden as my first concert at 14. It was amazing!! Left a huge impression on me. Lines on my Face, is one of my favorites of his songs.
Met Frampton at my work several years ago and talked for a bit.
For the record, Peter is a SUPER NICE GUY.
…just wanted put that out there… tx
Your reaction to this song was the reason I watch these type of videos. Thank you. Love your channel.
Yeah, Doug was really feeling himself with this one, I got a kick out of watching him improvising a piano solo lol. This video was every bit as entertaining as I thought it would be, I knew Doug would love this song!
A true classic! Time doesn't dull the song, it's still timely.
You were wondering about a talk box. The one I have has a heavy magnet speaker built inside a metal box with a switch to swap it from amp speaker to talk box speaker, and a hole in the top of it for the clear tygon (plastic) tubing which runs up to the mic. The guitar notes are funneled up the plastic tube into a mouth which is singing into the microphone. You don't sing with a talkbox, you just mouth the words. It's really a simple process. Joe Walsh has used one for years (now that I think about it, so have I. Sheesh! I hate getting old).
Greg in TN 😀
The crowd response after that bombastic last note sends chill down my spine every time
Awesome, I had the privilege of living 4 houses down from John Siomos the drummer for Peter Frampton, from 1975 to 1979 have 2 broken cymbals of his. Got watch him all the time and even was able to play his kit. He was a great drummer.
Just the fact that this song inspires you to play along says it all. Absolutely hands down one of the top three songs of the rock and roll era. They didn't chop produce this, the songs were all a live take for the album. Unfortunately, Peter, until late, was never able to rebound off this success. It was, so to speak, his best achievement that could not be followed up. I agree, its hard to follow up perfection.
Just want you to know how much I absolutely enjoyed this video. Thanks for more great content as always.
This is truly a beautiful piece of music brother Doug...Ty for sharing this
Seen them August 30, 1976, SLC, UT on the Frampton Comes Alive tour. Great concert to attend when I was in high school.
Saw Peter back in 2010; Orange Beach, AL. He played this track for 22 mins! Awesome. And he opened for Steve Miller Band, epic night!
1976 was a great year for rock music. Aerosmith, AC/DC, ZZ Top, The Eagles, Bob Seger and many more.
During my senior year in high school I had a lot of those on 8-track back then including this one.
There's a great live version from the Midnight Special in '76 on UA-cam for your viewing pleasure.
I saw many of those bands back in the day. I live in NJ but would travel into NY for concerts. I saw Aerosmith in NY's Central Park backed up by Rory Gallagher. I saw ZZ Top at the Academy of Music, an old theater that has since been demolished. It was a random weeknight with the theatre only half full.
Excellent year...Boston debut Boston was a huge album, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers debut...Peter Frampton and his band really did well with this live gem.
I grew up listening to a lot of music and picked up the guitar pretty young but i distinctly remember listening to this song with my dad when i was around 10 (i'm 29 as of writing this) and it was the moment i realized i actually live for music, it is with music that i've felt the best feelings i've ever felt. Our own impact on the universe, something that wouldn't exist if we weren't a thing, and it moves us in ways no one can describe but everyone understands.. Man i just love Music!!
This album epitomises the 70’s for me, played it to death at the time, a classic!
A double live album at #1. That'll never happen again.
By what criteria? I'd put Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous and Jethro Tull Bursting Out ahead of this album to be honest, but it's all a matter of personal taste and this album is certainly a monster.
@@emjem99 #1 best selling album.
‘Before the Flood’ by Dylan and the Band, and ‘Waiting for Columbus’ by Little Feat also need to be thrown into the conversation of any double live album releases. And Kiss Alive (Alive II is also great but technically only 3 sides live).
@@sledzeppelin Lol. Sales figures aren't a matter of personal taste, Earl Grey
Umm, has everyone forgotten Allman Brothers Live At the Fillmore? I don't know if it reached #1 on any chart, but it's iconic and still my favorite live album EVER!
It’s a dreadful shame that Peter is now suffering from a muscle wasting illness that is severely impacting his ability to play his guitar in the style he would like.
He is now undertaking his final live tour (unless things improve for him). He has to sit down whilst performing as he can’t be sure he won’t fall over whilst playing.
I’m just glad I got to see him in his heyday, but equally impressed that he’s still trying to make music.
This is for a Special kind of Human ,
Which Love Real Soul handmade Music .
THX for Your Reaction to this One .
Just turned 61 and this album was a big part of my teen years, and is still on my playlist
after a couple of bottles of wine around 11 o'clock turn volume up to 11 and let my neighbours that this of one of the greatest ever written brings back memories of being at the Sydney Myer Music Bowl
I was one of the people lucky enough to be at the show at winterland in San Francisco where he recorded part of the album it was an outstanding show.
I remember this being the biggest thing happening in music in 1976 and as a 13 year old music head, this was the coolest album!!!
Saw him at the Boathouse in Norfolk Va in 96. Held only about 400 people. Hell of a show. Bucket list concert to see.
For those who don't know how a Talkbox works: it's an effect pedal with a long rubber tube. Activating the pedal turns off the signal to your amp and into a speaker at the end of the tube. You run the tube up your microphone stand so that when the tube is in your mouth, you use your mouth as a resonance chamber for your guitar. It's as much a vocal effect as it is a guitar effect.
One of the most underrated guitarist. Baby I love your way.
I saw Frampton play with Bowie during the Glass Spider tour. I remember he worked in a few lines from this song somewhere. Bowie gave him a look, they were laughing. Great memories.
Great breakdown, Doug. I grew up during this era. Yes, validation but also having no regret as he says, "Let's do it again."
It's that modal approach to soloing combined with unique phrasing, and that F9 in the hook that makes this a classic.
Interesting point: Peter was a technical advisor to the film “Almost Famous” which has an AMAZING soundtrack. Peter taught Billy Crudup how to play guitar like a real rocker. He also has a cameo in the scene where Billy Crudup sells the Band Aids to Humble Pie for $50 and a case of Heinekin. Peter plays the Humble Pie road manager.
I met him once.
Quite the gentleman.
Quite the guitarist.
Maestro Doug! A 1 time ,live experience. I think it can't be repeated. Once in a lifetime.( i don't think the band could have done it either) One of the best captured live performance! IMHO
@Doug Helvering Wikipedia has a great entry regarding the Talk Box. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_box ). Built by the legendary Bob Heil, who previously designed sound equipment for The Who, Grateful Dead, Chaka Kahn, Barnstorm (Joe Walsh), the Eagles, and Humble Pie. One of the rear speaker cabinets and part of the mixing console used during The Who's "Quadraphenia Tour" is now displayed in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!
Doug, you grasped the concept of this song... I loved your keyboard overplay. I've been listening to this album for decades, and it would be worth your time.
SO TALENTED. Love Peter.
Great, this has always been one of my favourites, Peter Frampton is one of the most under rated guitarists and singers of our time
Interesting story. The guitar on the cover photo ,his favorite was lost in a plane crash in the south American jungle during the eighties ,he always missed playing it . Around 2000 some American back packers saw a guy playing it in some small community ,so the purchased it brought it back ,restored it .then contacted his management and presented it back to him after 2 decades !!! There may be footage of its emotional return to peter
I was in the same category -- Frampton was the guy that the kids I didn't like liked, back in the day. When "Frampton Comes Alive" dominated the airwaves in high school, I was not happy. It wasn't until many years later that I came to understand what a genius and talent he was.
One of the tightest bands ever. Impeccable!
Simply, this song makes me happy. Every time I hear it. But... You're listening to the #1 album of 1976, a song about indulging and enjoying life in every sense, waking the next day unsure exactly what happened but willing and ready to do it again, and you're NOT toking up or even sipping? Doug! C'mon man! :)
I was lucky enough to see Frampton's tour of this album at Mile High Stadium in Denver - Sunday #4 1976. The lineup included Gary Wright, Tommy Bolin, Steve Miller Band & Frampton as the headliner.
Doug you should DEFINITELY check out the album, it is one of the best live rock albums ever released.
Damn, sounds like a great concert. I saw him with Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special. I was lucky enough to be in the front row at that concert right in front of Peter.
Doug- You would probably dig watching a live recording of this from 1975, Burt Sugarman's The Midnight Special. Helen Reddy was the host that night. Little different version than the album, but that just makes it more interesting.
A very underrated guitarist. Love the guitar tone. Sad to hear he has had to stop touring.
I don't know if anyone outside Great Britain remembers this, but before his success he was touring with his band Camel. Unfortunately, at the same time Peter Bardens was touring with his group, also called Camel. So the local radio rock show on Saturday was announcing whichever band was playing in the area that week on the Gig Guide and having to remember to insert the name of whichever Peter it was beforehand. It's a strange thing to remember but its stuck in my memory for almost 50 years.
Saw this live in Philly at JFK stadium in 1976, along with supporting artist Gary Wright, and headliners Yes. Was so cold near the end, patrons starting lightning the stadium chairs on fire for warmth. P.S. Dave Gilmore used the Voice Box in some Pink Floyd songs.
A great voice box song. A favorite of mine from Peter Frampton.
One of my best loved music. Thank you Doug and Peter, I'll put on and play my vinyl right now.
This was from back when you would put on a record and listen to a whole side. At a party, no one would cut this off part way through.
I first saw Peter Frampton play in 2010. Didn't know any of his songs except Baby I Love Your Way. He was opening for America and Chicago. I was there to see Chicago and they were great, but I was really impressed with Frampton and thought he was the highlight of the night. Excellent showmanship and really fun to listen to. Years later I finally got around to listening to Frampton Comes Alive and realised he'd always been that good. Sounded just as great in 1976 as he did 34 years later.
Saw Peter on that same tour in Sydney. One of the best concert combinations ever.
Usually it's the other way around "sounded just as good as back in the day" - loved your comment.
I pause @ 1:26 to say, I attended a concert at Constitution Hall located in Washington D.C. This concert featured - Gary Wright, opener, then, Peter Frampton, and, finally, Yes. It was a wonderful concert experience.
Rick Beato recently posted a video that claims songs like this will not be made in the near future because the music industry has ceased making songs with a key change-let alone multiple ones!
The crowd is reacting also to him being cute and great personality to his expressions. Puts on a great live show.
Perfect sunny day driving song if there ever was one. Thanks for the review @Doug Helvering.
Magic indeed!
Rhodes and 1970s organs etc: I picked up a Roland VR09 - it has gorgeous vintage instrument patches, drawbars, and a leslie too. So much damn fun if you're in the market. The piano fills you were adding near the end gave the passage some meat, very nice.
Yes, "I want to *thank you" lol
There is quite a story around the guitar Frampton has on the album cover and was using at the time. To put in short, the band's gear was in a freight plane when it crashed and burned. Frampton was sure the guitar went up in smoke. but actually it did survive with some scorches. He eventually got it back after many years. There is a video available about it.
In encourage Doug and anyone else to look up the story of his guitar. It's here on YT. Fascinating.
We used to sit up in the mountains above Los Angeles, looking down on the millions of lights listening to this very loud. Oh those 70's high school years were the best.
That's alright,..that's alright, as Peter says,..it's never too late too jam all the way through this masterpiece,....think it has something to do with, a hard time, maybe a hangover is part of it,....so love the mind of a musician, how the wheels in your head were spinning, and noting all the note variations, and then you played it out on your keyboard,..when this came out, I was just a kid, jamming to some awesome music, and just went where it took me musically, and hearing you, seeing you break it down, only shows how brilliant these artists were, and how we knew good when we heard it,..Peter's band was impeccably good, and he's and incredible guitarist,..the timing, the professionalism, between them, huh they were serious, and just love how you broke it all down,. back in the day, you know people didn't always take them seriously, .."aww their just some long haired hippie playing music",..no, no, they were seruous about their musicianship, ..that part where the keyboardist solo, kinda hint of jazz,..so love that,..ELO does that too, a lot of them did, please keep going,..enjoy,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
Listen to 'The Lodger' and research the history behind the song. Saw him live at his Farewell Tour in the Royal albert Hall last Nov. Amazing!
Great to hear Doug. Here’s a bit of trivia for you Peters father was David Bowie’s art teacher in Beckenham near London. Back in the day.
On Howard's show, he openly admitted it's basically asking if the others are as hung over as he is. The opening lines describe waking up in a blur.
The way the talk box works is so simple, and yet, so awesome.
A small speaker is on the end of the tube that he puts in his mouth. So the guitar sound is actually playing into his mouth, and then a microphone is used to pick up the sound from inside his mouth.
As opposed to a vocoder, which modulates the sound without actually playing it inside the mouth.
Dude I so enjoyed this today love you great keyboards
There was a Frampton poster on my dorm room my first year in college (it was my roommate’s). It was an amazing time to be young. Listened to the album on repeat. Thanks for bringing back great memories.
So many memories. Thanks!😍
Doug was really feeling himself with this one, I got a kick out of watching him improvising a piano solo lol. This video was every bit as entertaining as I thought it would be, I knew Doug would love this song!
Peter proves his skill on this live album. Incredible performances on all of the songs! Thanks for playing this one!!
First guitar solo after second verse/chorus - heard it so many times, I can sing it note for note. Amazing.
Love the chords progression analysis
Amazing, great to hear that again..
Frampton & YES 1976 JFK STADIUM, PHILADELPHIA, What a Glorious Day it was!
It was so good to see you enjoying that song, and playing along like you were a meme bet of the band. I just wish you could do interviews, like you did on Annie Haslam, from Renaissance. I believe you would enjoy interviewing Peter Frampton and Jon Anderson too. Thanks for this episode.
I heard an interview with Peter Frampton (some years ago) in which he said one of the weird things from this album - particularly this song - was that after it was released, it was like the audience also learned their parts. On subsequent tours when he played it, regardless of where he was, the crowd would react in the same way, at the same points in the song(s).
this one of the albums that everyone should have in their collection !!
Voice modulator. Always wanted one. One effect I've never owned. Frampton is a great player. 1/11/23 RIP JEFF BECK
Yes Doug, the boot is the trunk.
