12. Watching this again now, super performance. Peter is Alive! Adding Wiki:

Wiki. Ed. - Peter Kenneth Frampton (b. 22 April 1950) is an English-American guitarist, singer and songwriter who rose to prominence as a member of the rock bands the Herd and Humble Pie. Later in his career Frampton found significant success as a solo artist. He has released several albums, including his breakthrough album, the live recording Frampton Comes Alive! (1976), which spawned several hit singles and has earned 8× Platinum by the RIAA in the U.S.

He has also worked with various other acts such as Ringo Starr, the Who's John Entwistle, David Bowie, and both Matt Cameron and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam and Joe Bonamassa. Frampton is known for his signature hit songs "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way", "Do You Feel Like We Do", and "I'm in You", all of which remain staples of classic rock radio. He has also appeared as himself in television shows such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Madam Secretary.

In 2024, Frampton was selected as an inductee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Early life. Peter Kenneth Frampton was born to Owen Frampton and Peggy (née ffitch) Frampton in Beckenham, Kent. He attended Bromley Technical High School, at which his father was a teacher and the head of the Art department. He first became interested in music when he was seven years old. Having discovered his grandmother's banjolele in the attic, he taught himself to play it, going on to later teach himself how to play guitar and piano as well. At the age of eight, he began taking classical music lessons.

Frampton was influenced by late 1950s and early 1960s rock acts such as Cliff Richard and the Shadows, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and later the Ventures, Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles.

His father introduced him to the recordings of French gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Early career. By the age of 12, Frampton played in a band called the Little Ravens. Both he and David Bowie, who was three years older, were pupils at Bromley Technical School, where Frampton's father was Bowie's art teacher. The Little Ravens played on the same bill at school as Bowie's band, George and the Dragons. Peter and David would spend lunch breaks together, playing Buddy Holly songs. At the age of 14, Peter was playing with a band called the Trubeats followed by a band called the Preachers, who later became Moon's Train, produced and managed by Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones...

20. I am so glad we have as much video as we have. Thanks for that Wikipedia excerpt!

[appalachiablue]

23. I'm grateful for all the video too, we're very lucky. And wiki is a plus resource.

2. Woo Hoo

Saw him live in Philadelphia- during my wild youth days 😆

[appalachiablue]

4. Lucky you! wish I'd seen Frampton perform. I wore out this album in 76, super.

Thanks for replying.

5. My very first concert.

McNichols Arena, July 16, 1977.

Warm up acts:

Hall and Oates
38 Special (before anybody had heard of them)

Peter Frampton is an excellent musician and has remained a decent person in spite of his celebrity. Thanks for posting this!

[appalachiablue]

8. Awesome, glad you saw him and H&O. Bugs me that I somehow

never heard about any of Frampton's upcoming concerts. It was a very busy time then with studies and work. But I'm now making up for the absence with more time to enjoy music, at last. Thanks for replying.

[appalachiablue]

9. Thanks for adding this, I agree and like it. I've encountered a

few Frampton haters, some even musicians and it bothered me. I finally chalked it up to envy. Peter's a super nice person, terrific artist and has been coping with real health challenges so I read a while ago. I'm very grateful he's still here.

11. I went to see Tommy Bolin at Mile High, August, 1976...

and Steve Miller, Gary Wright, and Peter Frampton were also there.

I think the ticket was $8. O, those Colorado Sun Days were fun.

[appalachiablue]

13. Terrific, 1976, lucky you in Colorado. His Wiki-Bio is above, #12 if you're interested.

[Harker]

15. Thanks!

I was a big fan, and looking forward to his third album, which never happened, when he died in December of that year.

I saw him open for BÖC about a month prior.

So sad a waste.

[ZZenith]

19. Frampton, et al was $7.70 so $8.00 at Mile High sounds about right.

$7.70 in today’s money would be about $40, so concert ticket prices have definitely escalated.

Christ, those were good times. Glad you got to see Tommy Bolin - he was another great musician taken too soon.

[Harker]

21. Twice, three of you count Deep Purple...

and I sat on a curb on University Hill for an hour and listened to them blasting out of an upstairs window as they were rehearsing.

Ticket prices are obscene these days, which is why I haven't been to see anyone in a very long time.

6. He sure got away with saying certain words on his Talk box!

Great album, great song.

[appalachiablue]

14. Yes, the Talk Bix was wild, for sure. Lol. His wiki is above, #12.

7. See him live if you can

I'll be upfront Sunday night at his show in Charleston, SC.

[appalachiablue]

16. Wow, I would love it. We visited Charleston once, so nice. PF Wiki above #12

[HeartsCanHope]

10. Had the album when it came out.

Don't know what happened to it. I think one of my sisters probably took it. I loved this album so much. Thanks for posting this song!
Great memory.

[appalachiablue]

17. Gotta watch those sisters! Lol. Yes, Great Memories! PF Wiki above #12.

18. I Bought A Talk Box Because Of Frampton

This song & Show Me The Way made me think "I've got to get one of those."
I didn't start playing guitar until the year that album came out, and wasn't good enough to play lead until 4 years later.
No matter! The 3rd guitar toy I ever bought was that talk box. All because of Peter.

[appalachiablue]

24. Cool, you got a talkbox thanks to Frampton. Super musician and special man.

22. Grand Rapids

As good a musician he's a great guy too.

Frampton lives in Cincinnati and came up to Grand Rapids to catch Sheryl Crow (or vice versa).

[appalachiablue]

25. Frampton is a good guy, I like him from interviews, has depth & fun too. I think

it's great he's in Cincinatti, good for him and family. Thanx for replying.
