Frampton - Do You Feel Like We Do

I can't believe you just heard it for the first time.

I didn't really like it when it first came out, but I like now. I have it and play it now and then.

The funny thing is my son and his friends ask for it when they are over and they were born about 15 years after the song hit the radio stations.

Someone mentioned Frampton's newer albums. I picked up a couple of them and haven't been disappointed.

He can still rock.
 
Yeah, I can certainly see why there is so much animosity towards the song.... when we were teens we couldn't turn on the radio without hearing this song..... and...

Stairway To Heaven
Slow Ride
Hotel California
Dreams

Just to name a few..... not to mention the fact that if you were growing up in that period and went to a party someone would be playing at least one of 'em on their TTs..... or went to a bar you'd hear a cover band doing them badly! And hey, don't we all have friends from our past who would only listen to ONE artist over and over, with only a smattering of stuff from other groups? I had a buddy who would only play Lynyrd Skynyrd at his place...... took decades for me to start liking any of their music again after that......
 
Peter is a very accomplished player, and while I have not liked everything he has ever done, the good far outweighs the bad AFAIAC.

Peter does a great cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Black Hole Sun" on some of his more recent releases.

One great thing about Freebird is economy... you hear the same guitar lick played repeatedly, about 4 dozen times... enough to last a lifetime.:yes:
 
Like Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory, every time I see a copy, I have to have it.


.............. 11 and counting.

I really like his version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Black Hole Sun is also good.
 
I saw that tour in July of 77 at JFK stadium in Philly. I think the LP was recorded in Winterland though. Isn't that the Bay area. Great Live album.

I do agree with a post I read somewhere that Frampton was better with Humble Pie. Hell, he was just a boy when he was with the Pie. Great band they were. Ever listen to On To Victory. Post Frampton?

In Summer 1975 Frampton came through Dallas and played most of the songs in a live studio concert over KZEW-FM 97.9 that would be released on the Frampton Comes Alive album later in Jan 76. I taped it off the air on my Teac A2340. A few months ago I found that old tape and copied it off to MP3, and a link to it is here:

The radio station had more requests for that song than any other in its history. Keep in mind this was live over the FM radio and highly compressed, but doesn't sound too bad.

1975, NYC Central Park

pretty much the same show as the album.

Once again Tentoze hits the mark. During college, I worked in a record store when that album came out. Sold a zillion of them; mostly to young girls. The other record that ran off the shelves at the time was the "Grease" soundtrack. Ended up hating "Feel" because it was so overplayed (like Layla has become).

No disrespect to Frampton -- he was caught in the starmaking machinery and it was a risky (brilliant) move to release a live album -- took his career to an unbelievable height. His fall from marketing grace was damn impressive after that. But he and his playing have aged rather gracefully.

Go to YouTube and look up Humble Pie if you want to see some of his early "harder" work (up to '71). Of course having Steve Marriott wailing next to you on stage didn't hurt.

I saw Frampton with Pie
July 71, Asbury Park Convetion Hall
here is a bit about the show.

"The Bruce Springsteen Band opens for the (at the time) red-hot HUMBLE PIE. After the show an impressed Peter Frampton, leader of HUMBLE PIE, tells Springsteen and the band he'd like to have them open for HUMBLE PIE on a national basis. Frampton also states that he would be happy to get the band an audition with his record label, the prestigious A & M Records. For no logical reason BSB manager Tinker West declines both offers on the spot. The story is corroborated in separate published interviews with Peter Frampton and BSB trumpet player Harvey Cherlin."
