Decades after its 1976 release, FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! seems like an anomaly, with its unusual genesis almost impossible to believe. Peter Frampton, guitarist for a modestly successful boogie band (Humble Pie), released several solo records that were almost entirely ignored. However, he spent years crisscrossing the nation's sports arenas, opening for everyone under the sun, until so many people had seen him in America's hockey rinks that his double-LP live record became one of the most successful rock albums of all time.
Listening to the whole record--not just the three pop-rock gems that immediately became FM radio staples ("Show Me the Way," "Baby, I Love Your Way," and the talkbox-enhanced jam "Do You Feel Like We Do")-- it's clear that its success is due to Frampton's road-tested mastery of the sweetly melodic material, which didn't rock this hard on the original studio recordings. Of course, FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! also won over a legion of fans with its classic rock-god album cover. Any way you look at it, FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! is a classic for a reason.
