THE ENERGY!!! | FIRST TIME REACTON to Peter Frampton "Do You Feel Like We Do" (Midnight Special)

[@Tarkus_]

"Frampton Comes Alive" is one of the craziest things in the history of rock music. Frampton never really had a successful solo studio album, but that double-live album absolutely blew up. Not just by live album standards, but by any album standards. It was a massive, massive success.

[@jdbroders64]

One of the greatest live Rock albums of all time. I remember when it came out. Frampton came out of nowhere to instant Rockstar. I was fortunate to see him live back then and he was amazing.

[@MikeCoggan]

His studio releases lacked the energy that "Frampton Comes Alive" captured, which was released my junior year of high school and we ate it up....along with Hotel California, Rumors, Night Moves, Boston (debut), Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes (Jimmy Buffett album with Margaritaville), Exodus (Bob Marley), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (debut), The Last Waltz, Silk Degrees, in just a couple of years - crazy times. My 1st 3 concerts were < Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana and the Outlaws (July 77), Queen (Dec 77) and Journey (78 - Infinity tour - 1st with Steve Perry). I look back and think "damn I was pretty lucky" to be a teenager in the 1970s

[@Tarkus_]

@@MikeCoggan I often conflate Boston's debut with "Frampton Comes Alive." Both came out of nowhere around roughly the same time, to take the world (or at least America) by storm, where virtually every track was a hit at some level. That said, "Frampton Comes Alive" to this day still stands alone as an insanely popular live album from an artist with no popular studio albums. It still boggles my mind, and I lived (and loved) through it. I mean, a lot of people hate live albums, to this day. And the one album that cut right through that bias was from someone almost nobody ever heard of. Crazy!

[@Mykll0]

Also all the radio play are from Frampton Comes Alive, not from any of the studio albums. It's crazy! But Alive was fantastic!

[@TheOriginalFILIBUSTA]

Peter Frampton. Frampton comes alive was my first ever concert in Phoenix Arizona 1977

[@mr.knowitall6440]

Peter is such a nice, humble person. Coincidentally, he was a member of "Humble Pie" prior to this... I saw him earlier this year at The Greek Theatre in L.A., in a light rain, and he was so thankful that everybody stayed through the whole show. Everyone either brought their own rain gear, or bought the ponchos they sell there. 🤙😎

[@44elisdad]

There is a video out there of Humble Pie performing 'The Sad Bag of Shaky Jake' where Mr Frampton looks like he isn't old enough to drive...

[@themightybuzzard3088]

Humble Pie... Damn, now I have to listen to Thirty Days In The Hole after this.

[@mk-xh6jt]

I saw him with Humble Pie!

[@GregCombs100]

Peter Frampton is the guitarist and singer's name. He saw his first realy success with Humble Pie in the 60's before his solo career. "I Don't Need No Doctor" is a great song for Humble Pie to check out, you can clearly recognize Frampton's voice in the background singing. With his live album, Framption Comes Alive, he saw extreme popularity in the 70s, but at that level it was relatively short-lived. He's continued making music and touring. A few years back he was diagnosed with Inclusion Body Myositis, a degenerative disease that began to severely affect his ability to play guitar. He thought he was done, even did a farewell tour, but he's still pressing on at 74 and is in the middle of a US tour.

[@darrinwoodward14]

My brother and I used to stay up late in the 70's to watch Saturday night special.i remember this performance very vividly!!

[@josephpowell3949]

[@Rick-or2kq]

Do remember that ABC had a similar show name "In Concert", some FM stations would simulcast it, if you were lucky enough to be close enough to get a good signal you could put the audio through your stereo system, put on set of headphones and enjoy.

[@CarolynMeyers-g5i]

Peter Frampton is one of the best guitarist and now produces music. He was and always been a fabulous musician ❤️

[@frankpentangeli7945]

Highly underrated guitarist, in my view. Never mentioned among the best, though he should be. He definitely had his own tone and his own sound, and he could PLAY that sucker!

[@rogercoles3973]

That is not only a "Talkbox" but that is the original one. He bought it directly from the inventor. Did you see him move the white box on the floor with his feet before he activated it? The box has a driver (speaker) inside of it The tube extends from the box up to the microphone. When switched on the guitar signal is switched from the amp to the talkbox. The sound is manipulated by your mouth and heard through the microphone. Peter Framptom first became internationally know as a teenager in the band Humble Pie before he had this solo band. Interesting side note Peter Frampton's father was an art teacher in England and David Bowie was one of his students.

[@peterspicer7603]

And as a 12 year old he played guitar with 15 year old David Bowie.

[@Knifeguy5]

BOB HEIL STUPID

[@hugefire63]

Joe Walsh was actually the first rock musician to use the Talk Box on his hit song, "Rocky Mountain Way". Peter Frampton was the one who perfected it's use. He was introduced to the Talk Box in 1970 while doing session work for George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" album, when he met Pete Drake. Drake was the inventor, and was a steel guitar player from Nashville that Harrison had brought in for his country sound.

[@scottwheeler2494]

​@@hugefire63no history of the talk box can exclude Bob Heil. He was the developer of the talk box. He made the version Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton used to play their famous songs. Bob was well known in the industry. He built and owned the famous Wall of Sound used by the Great full Dead and Humble Pie and many other bands. He was the builder of the horn loaded speakers that got so damn loud for the time. Unlike today when an average audio set for an arena show might be 80k to 160k watts of amplifiers, in the 60s a 100 watt was a big one. Bob Carver came out with the Phase Linear 400 in 1970. They took over the concert Industry. I was still loading out to rock shows in the mid 80s. But back to Bob, he was known throughout the concert Industry. So when the building of the TalkBox came to be, he was the natural pick. An electronics genius, he later developed Heil microphones into a pretty big business. He sold the audio equipment business But like Joe Walsh, he was a ham radio operator. So Joe learn about the box from him. Heil still builds the Talk Box (to the best of my knowledge).

[@tomroome4118]

As a teenager he was in the band The Herd, before joining with Steve Marriot to form Humble Pie.

[@Heathcoatman]

I saw this guy back in the 90s at the Augusta Riverwalk and we were front row. He was just as good then as he was in the 70s and the best part.....he really looked like he was having fun, like he was enjoying himself thoroughly. It was like if the band invited you to drinks some beers and jam in their garage. One of the most positive, fun concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.

[@davehind3193]

If you get a chance in your spare time check out the version of this song from the Frampton Comes Alive album. This version is great but it cuts out the whole keyboard solo before he goes into his guitar solo. They need to bring shows like this back to TV.Just about every big name in rock was on this show name a 70's rock band they were probably on this show.

[@josepholivo1448]

Hey Aileen, excellent choice of song to react to today. You should check out Pink Floyd's keep talking off the pulse album or DVD I know you've done a few Pink Floyd I'm not sure if you've done that one but it's an excellent song... With David Gilmore's skill as a guitarist while using this effect it's really beautiful. It's originally off the same album as high hopes so it's got that kind of a feel.

"The one and only Billy Shears" Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is a 1978 American jukebox musical comedy film directed by Michael Schultz, written by Henry Edwards and starring an ensemble cast led by Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees. Depicting the loosely constructed story of a band as they wrangle with the music industry and battle evil forces bent on stealing their instruments and corrupting their hometown of Heartland, the film is presented in a form similar to that of a rock opera, with the songs providing "dialogue" to carry the story. George Burns has most of the spoken lines that act to clarify the plot and provide further narration but there are a few other lines throughout the movie (such as many robots). Featured performers The Bee Gees (Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb) whose music had been integral to Saturday Night Fever (released by this film's international distributor, Paramount Pictures), play Mark, David and Bob Henderson, members of the re-formed Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. They also provide the computerized voices for Mean Mr. Mustard's robots. Peter Frampton, whose album Frampton Comes Alive! was the biggest-selling live album ever at the time, plays Billy Shears, leader of the re-formed band and grandson of the original Sgt. Pepper character. Steve Martin, whose comedy album A Wild and Crazy Guy was released the same year as the film, reaching number two on the music-dominated Billboard 200 album charts, plays Dr. Maxwell Edison. The cast also features Frankie Howerd as Mean Mr. Mustard Paul Nicholas as Dougie Shears Donald Pleasence as B.D., referred to as B.D. Hoffler in Burns' narrative voice-over and on a magazine cover in the film, but officially known in the film's credits, publicity materials, and in-film posters as B.D. Brockhurst Sandy Farina as Strawberry Fields Dianne Steinberg as Lucy Aerosmith as Future Villain Band (FVB) Alice Cooper as Father Sun Earth, Wind & Fire, appearing as Earth, Wind, and Fire, the elements. Billy Preston as the magical Sgt. Pepper golden weather vane come to life George Burns as Mr. Kite Stargard as the Diamonds Anna Rodzianko and Rose Aragon as The Computerettes Carel Struycken as The Brute, in his first film appearance Patti Jerome as Saralinda Shears Max Showalter as Ernest Shears John Wheeler as Mr. Fields Jay W. MacIntosh as Ms. Fields Eleanor Zee as Mrs. Henderson Patrick Cranshaw as Western Union Manager Teri Lynn Wood as Bonnie Tracy Justrich as Tippy The actor playing The Evil Gladiola was neither seen nor credited. Special guests Additionally, the film becomes a time capsule of late 1970s pop culture with the last scene in which the cast is joined by "Our Guests at Heartland" to sing the reprise of the title track while standing in a formation imitating the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album cover. The scene was filmed at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios on December 16, 1977; indeed, according to co-star Carel Struycken (Mustard's henchman Brute), Sgt. Pepper was the last film to be made at MGM under that studio's then existing management.

Peter Frampton is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He was playing professionally as a young teen. He was often called upon by many big named artists to play on their albums. He is well regarded by all musicians. He still plays shows occasionally today, but he is limited by a disease that affects his muscles. If you ever get the chance to see him perform live, take the opportunity. He is a great performer and cares that his audience is having as good a time as he does playing. Easily three of the best concerts I have seen in my life (1977, 2007, 2019).

We were second row right and there was a guy, balding vest levis buttom up shirt, walking around checking mikes, instruments. walked off and a few moments latter sound started drummer came out, spotlight on him as he played intro percussions and key board player started another light on him a bass player then a Gutar started playing and all the other lights went out and one spot came on and the roadie was playing. No it wasn't a roady, it was Peter Frampton, horse shoe haircut. smiling from ear to ear. Loving the fact that he didn't have the signature wild hair cut, that most expected. He was great. Played fantastic. put REO and the other band to shame. In the aspect he was there for the music and Fun and he was getting Payed! All three bands were good. But he I remember the most.

If you remember back to the Skynyrd song Free Bird, you may remember a majority of the front row was filled with young female fans.

He has an interesting story. Childhood friends with Bowie, formed Humble Pie at 18, solo success with some classic rock staples. Very talented guy, still around at 74.

[@JeffMeyers-zm2lh]

He said-"I wanna thank you". The talkbox was the first vocoder. You should listen to the Frampton Comes Alive version.

[@Silber7]

On THE live album, the instrumentals and improvisations are even longer that at this TV recording And the atmosphere together with the crowd is one of these one in a million moments

[@gregleblanc9357]

I always thought the same as you as to what he said but he actually said "I Want To Thank You" lol. Frampton was as innovator for sure. Loved his Frampton Comes Alive Album.

[@Briekout]

Frampton at the time was the epitome of the title "Rock god", he gave us our image what we wanted in our icons of the era. Good reactions.

[@tonydagostino6158]

24 year old guitar phenom and his band cut the BIGGEST live album ever, toured the world to drive the young girls crazy. He said "I want to thank you" but there's no missing that mischievous smile

[@briandonohue2502]

Love this album...worked our way up to Hidden Lakes out of Anaconda, MT, (this was in the the late 70's). I was 13. My uncle played it all two+ hours to get up to Storm Lake. In part, I am so thankful for the patience I learned, but more importantly, it was the appreciation of the live purity that can be achieved !!!!!!!!!!!

[@richardchocolas8800]

"Show Me the Way" from the Midnight Special is another great song

[@maxsinnapah5754]

It's a real surprise to know girls at your age now love songs from the 70s rock and roll era, wondering your reaction if you were in his concert. Keep your enthusiasm going Aileen.

[@vernhoke7730]

I was a senior in high school when "Frampton Comes Alive" came out. It was a must-have album, and I had mine. The Midnight Special was my generations MTV, that and Don Kirshners Rock Concert, both were on the weekend. Pretty sure I watched this when it aired. If you're interested, there are a ton of episodes with groups from this era, Heart, Aerosmith, Journey, Kiss and many more. Aileen, you do have a dirty mind, my kind of girl😉, there was no way the network censors would've let that air. I do believe he said "I want to THANK you".

Oh my dear, this takes me back to my teens where the highest tech was metal oxide cassette tape mixes, Texas Instrument calculators, and video games like Pong. Gas was like 0.65/9cents - 0.75/9cents a gal. A little band came out with a live album called KISS ALIVE. OUCH.......was that my hip?!?

[@stusacks2220]

Peter Frampton was lead singer and guitarist for Humble Pie, an underrated band from the 60"s.

[@joebarrera9741]

1976 WAS THE YEAR OF PETER FRAMPTON❤

[@oldmanghost219]

It was the "Frampton Comes Alive" album that was an instant huge hit. Love your reactions. This is the best use of a talk box that I know of.

[@WilliamPatience-ic8st]

Peter Frampton formally of Humble Pie. Definitely worth a looksee. Teenage angst and freedom of days past.

[@buzzbomb67]

Peter Frampton had such a unique style. Great stuff! All the ladies were bananas over him, back in the mid-70s!

[@streetlevel4996]

Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video Peter Frampton and so dug him in the 70s 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on KZbin. 😀

Joe Walsh and David Gilmour each got a Hiel "Talk box" in 1974. They both used their's on recordings in 1975. Frampton got his just months later and recorded this in late 1975. The talk box then took a break from the limelight with disco and Bon Jovi's Ritchie Sambora brought it back in 1984-85. The technology from the Hiel talk box was then modified in 1979 to invent "pitch correct" in the studio, allowing those who couldn't carry a tune in a pail of water to sound perfectly in key with the band with the 'fixing' of the sound. In the 80s, pitch correct was even used live. Suddenly, dancers, models, actors, all had albums coming out and MTV was invented. It was as if they were saying, rockers were "not pretty enough" for television, and were replaced by 'camera friendly" faces. Rock suffered for 10 years and then the "grunge" movement brought music back to the musicians. Then Auto tune was invented and .............now we're in this boat.

I saw him live at the KC Chiefs Arrowhead Stadium 07/31/1977. Was my first concert. Started with Rick Derringer, Styx, Steve Miller Band, and then Peter Frampton. It was awesome and very memorable experience. I’ve been kicking me ever since for not getting a couple T-shirts. What was I thinking. 🤔 Oh I know! 😏
