How can you possibly say a bad thing about Pete? Apparently my word count is a little short, so I added this sentence.

I purchased a copy of this CD because I had gotten tickets to the 'Comes Alive' Anniversary Concert. I hadn't heard it in soooo many years and it brought back the memories of the great tunes and his guitar skills that we took for granted back then. What an amazing man/artist! Thanks Peter.

For a listner who first experienced rock and roll two decades after this double cd was published, I was pleastenly suprised by what I found in Frampton's music. The lyrics are a different story, serving only to weigh down what what otherwise be great rock instrumentals. Don't purchase it expecting Bob Dylan or Joni Mitchell; the best talking Frampton delivers comes from his guitar during the epic "Do you feel like we do." Do expect some of the best rock of the 70's, music that would move entire arenas even today

I have nothing negative to say about the music presented here. This is one of the best rock live albums ever released. However, my praise ends there. Like everyone else alive, I bought the double album back in 1976. Awesome, I still have it. Circa 1987, this was one of the first cd's I ever purchased. I liked it so much that a couple of years ago I purchased the 25th Anniversary edition with all the bonus material that never made the first cut. Awesome. Now, what is this 35th Anniversary money-grab with 1 extra song. A cover of Do You Feel Like I Do by Warren Haynes. Yes, I want the WH version, BUT NO WAY WILL I PAY OVER $10 FOR ANY SONG. Peter Frampton, I Don't Feel Like You Do. I am not greedy. And some artists wonder why people find "alternative means" to acquire their music.

To date,this is the biggest-selling live album of all-time. I went through two copies of this album,one cassette and one 8-track tape. As a destructive child,I removed the magnetic tape from the outer shell of the cassette. The 8-track tape was sold at a garage sale I had years ago. Peter Frampton was promoting FRAMPTON while recording this album. This album was released in early 1976,so this concert was recorded sometime the previous year. Frampton,late of Humble Pie,was driven to superstardom with this album. His 1977 follow-up I'M IN YOU,shows Frampton on the cover displaying his masculinity,thus making him a teen idol. This album spawned three hits,SHOW ME THE WAY,BABY I LOVE YOUR WAY and DO YOU FEEL LIKE I DO?. He covers the Jagger-Richards classic JUMPING JACK FLASH. I really love BABY(SOMETHING'S HAPPENING) which opens this album. Other electrifying live albums that I love are Bob Seger's LIVE BULLET and NINE TONIGHT,the Bee Gees' HERE AT LAST and ONE NIGHT ONLY,Billy Joel's SONGS IN THE ATTIC,KOHUEPT and 2000 YEARS:THE MILLENIUM CONCERT and Elton John's LIVE IN AUSTRALIA. When this album was released,Frampton was in the limelight with A&M Records labelmates The Captain & Tennille whose album LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER was on the pop/rock charts at the time as well. Many classic rock fans will love this album,if they don't already own it. When the compact disc became increasingly popular in the mid-80's,this album debuted on the CD. Because this was Frampton's all-time best-seller,none of his other albums were on CD back then. Now they're all available,digitally remastered,on CD,including this album. A 25th anniversary deluxe edition of this album was released in 2001.

This record was so popular in the mid 70's, always being played on the radio, and just about everyone, owned a copy of it as well.

I didn't receive my shipment, and contacted the company, and they happily sent out another one which I recieved...They were very nice about it, and quickly sent out a replacement....

This was a single cd, I thought it was the double cd or else I would not have ordered it.
