Peter Frampton plays lost guitar for the first time

Peter Frampton Plays "Do You Feel Like We Do" on the guitar that was lost in a cargo plane accident 31 years ago for the first time at the Beacon Theatre in New York

[@justincase2281]

Sounds great!! This guitar made Frampton Come Alive!!

[@optimus163]

That '54 Les Paul MADE Humble Pie !!

[@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203]

The GOAT Les Paul Guitar, bar none. The loss and recovery of that guitar is an amazing story.

[@mervcargnali]

Without the dude singing in the background you could close your eyes and think 1976.

No but we could find him somehow and stick ice water down his shorts. Asshole. He ruined it for the people there too.

[@rickebert399]

Do you mean the dude screaming completley offkey

[@TheFratHouse69]

Nice! 😆

[@garychambers5850]

Thats so right! I watched him live in 1976 at the New Haven Coliseum perform this and many others oh..without the loud mouth! 🎅🏾

[@ralex3697]

@@garychambers5850 The loudmouths were edited out on the album I’m sure there were many of them wailing off key

[@patton303]

I was so happy for him when he got his guitar back. I remember him saying in an article that he lost part of his soul after that plane crash.

[@keefster001]

Great to see this LP back in Peter's hands! Thanks for posting.

[@LKtube1]

I get goosebumps listening to that tone from Peter and his old lost friend!

[@craigusselman546]

There is only on guitar and player that sound like thar and its Peter and Phenix

[@joniferguson8251]

How awesome! What are the odds that he would ever get his Phenix back? Wow! Thank God the odds were in his favor! Love you & your music Peter Frampton!🥰❤️

[@ryuk555678]

I don't see why people are mad at the guy singing. Would you not sing along with Frampton?

[@mjtsquints71]

sing in your car or your shower, not when others have paid good money to hear Frampton sing.

[@bachrocktheamericahatersan5799]

Yeah, but not if it annoys others. Selfish people never shut up.

[@garychambers5850]

Hes louder than Peter! Whoever recorded this should of gotten closer or away from that guy!

[@LarryMar]

Dang, I just about cried when I learned this. Like finding a lost child after 30 years. What a great ending!

[@gerrymandering9403]

Just watched his KZbin guitar collection stream. Awesome collection, and of course the 'Pheonix' was the star. Delighted he got his old friend back. Still listen to Frampton Comes Alive today and love it just as much. Passed my UK driving test in 1976, and it was all I listened to in any car I drove.....that had a cassette player in there. Fabulous memories. Thanks Peter.

[@paulsimmons5726]

Frampton still has it and his smile says it all! Gibson did a great job with the Phoenix! Much respect to their craftsmen, great job!

[@organicvids]

Did you see the vid of them workin on it. It is more precise than the space rockets.

[@Muzicification]

YES!! Awesome moment! I saw him last week in Philly at the Tower Theatre and it was about the best concert of dozens I've seen in my life. For him to have his long lost Les Paul back now and playing it live for everyone is just a beautiful thing. It's miraculous that it still exists and is in his hands again. Go Pete! Atta' boy! Wonderful!

[@MarcelLambert2009]

This is what a rock show is all, scream, sing, cry and have fun. Please do not shut up watching shows

[@vernonbird4590]

I saw him play that guitar in '71, with Humble Pie. My first Concert.

[@scottginter4071]

My favorite album, Rockin the Filmore!!

[@vernonbird4590]

@@scottginter4071 I think that (iconic) album was recorded on the same tour, just a month or two after I saw them. I didn't know anything about them at the time. If only I could see that show again, knowing what I know now. I was there for Black Sabbath. April 4, '71.

im glad u posted it. even though incomplete...still good. you could see the emotion in his eyes...like seeing a friend after a long time

If you don't get emotional over this, you're made of stone, bud.

[@TheSilverhorn]

I hate when people try and talk when I'm listening to great music.. But I REALLY LOVE when the crowd gets into the music! This tune is INFECTIOUS! I will be happy if it is playing when I die... but hopefully not in the near future!

[@crupert23225]

Yep. That dude in the audience was REALLY annoying, not only with his speaking but especially his singing.

[@elianaoncken4223]

How cool ... I was very happy that he got his guitar back ... Now his soul celebrates ... this whole again. He deserves all the happiness in the world. Now ... he touches his guitar and enchants our hearts ... . mine belongs to him

[@krashboombang]

Thanks for sharing and SINGING!!! Glad you were able to record and share this concert, thank you.

[@paulsimmons5726]

Pete's about as happy as can be with his original guitar. At least part of this story was resolved happily, Frampton can play his dream guitar again. Glad it made it's way back to him.

[@nbbcbeer]

Frampton in the guys defense was egging on the crowd to sing along! Look at his hand gestures. The whole arena was singing along for this historical moment. They had just done a presentation of the guitar to Frampton people where not sure what song he would play on it or any song at that point. The guitar was burned looking as he told the Gipson people not to restore the finish make the burn a part of the history!!

[@kajem575]

Fair point at that moment. But doesn't change the umpteen million other times past,present,future, these morons consistently ruin the experience and cost involved for everybody else when "NOT INVITED TO DO SO!" Peter didn't prompt the audience to SING THE WHOLE DAMN SONG, just a portion of it. 🙂✌❤

[@bradleystereoguitaramplifi9616]

Totally cool! So happy for him that he got it back!

[@18JR78]

This guy wasn’t filming like the majority of zombies in a crowd. He documented his moment with Frampton and shared it with us.

[@owengardiner4628]

🙄🤣

[@kajem575]

Dislike

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

I love how Peter has embraced his years..was a hunk for some then but now..I think he is a CLASSY hunk....

[@romanticandperky]

Oh, Lord, have mercy: The same man who Peter Frampton sent back to Caracas in search of that Les Paul, when I was five years old, showed up at my door with a cake from his Mom. He's on page 2 of Mr. Frampton's memoirs: 'JD'. My late older brother was also a singer/songwriter/guitarist, and 'JD' worked for him before he got hired by Peter Frampton. He also recovered a lost Les Paul (my brother, that is) one afternoon in Boston when he was schedule to open for Aerosmith that evening. Sometime during the 90s, my brother ended up (along with one of his guitars) at Keith Richards' house. It was during the 90s, when I was driving a cab, and these guys jumped into it one morning, and I drove them to the airport. It was just them; they had sent their equipment on ahead by another flight. They were on the way to NYC. Foghat! P.S: They, and their equipment, landed safely. True story.

[@gr8guitarplayer]

Look at the yellowing of that binding!! That Les Paul has probably THE best history behind it, beyond any other. When I read the story of how he got it back, I got goosebumps. SO COOL!! I was about to say can you imagine how much it's worth, but then thought..., it's priceless. And anyone who would pay millions of dollars for it doesn't deserve it anyway. It does look rough though-- portion of the diamond on the headstock is gone. Amazing it even survived a plane crash. Sad that some people didn't though...

[@paxmule]

That’s a wonderful clip. Thank you for posting!

[@turk5832]

God, what a talent this guy is....great story!

[@stephenadamsmusicalinterpr4203]

The GOAT of any and all Les Paul Guitars, bar none.

[@obertsons]

Thanks Mike....I got to see him in Marin on that tour..... Great show.

[@jamescassidy3995]

Always great to pay $$$ for tickets to hear your favourite artists & be surrounded by people yelling & shouting along with the songs.

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

Its great to see Peter finally playing his lost guitar live again. Its def a fitting song to reintroduce the Phoenix to the world again. Btw; Whoever is singing loudly / badly and ruining this performance for others around them wouldnt have fared well if I was standing next to them.

[@MichaelBrown-ny3et]

Is saw this tour in 77’ in Miami at the baseball stadium with Rick Derringer and JGeils opening. I was in 7th grade so my parents had to take me. I remember a 1 foot joint being passed behind me. Different time back then. Way cooler if you ask me.

[@paulbfields8284]

This is the way its supposed to be.. rightful horse and rider back together again. This is just sooooooo cool.

he strummed the LES and it was like going back to 1976,originalty is everything ,change sucks when you are in love,happy for you PETER,A GUY STOLE my 3spd english racer bicycle,over 35 years ago,dated a girl who ran a storage facillity,she told me to take what i wanted from the holding unit for auction,there it sit,black battered but it was all there rode hard put away abused,but there it was,i know how PETER FEELS,old men aren't suppose to cry,but it was a monumental day

[@voxvintagecovers]

Mate just ignore all the stupid comments about your singing. If I was watching frampton play his lost les paul I would be doing exacty the same thing. Maybe all the stupid people commenting should go buy their own ticket to see frampton if they dont want people singing along on a video.

[@marieladaza9060]

I remember the concert in Caracas 1980 ididn t know about peters lost until now you are one of the few artists recovering valuable instruments. Caetano veloso had a similar history with a concert in CAracas it was robery but this time he wasnot as lucky but in brazil the stolen instruments were found

[@dynjarren8355]

This is a special moment! It’s so great that he’s playing the original guitar that was burned and lost. But was then found and restored after being lost for 30 years! It’s like a rebirth hence the name the Phoenix. What a great story! Now the Black Beauty is back in his hands where it belongs. Making music again! Do you feel like I do? Yes, I do! Rock On, Peter Frampton! 👏🏻🎸😎

[@JohnnyGallardo]

I found the Black Beauty in Irvine at 5 Point Amphitheater a few years ago. Peter's Guitar Tech first accused me of trying to steel it, interrogating me to find out I just grabbed the case off the truck with the other, true story. I got pictures of the Tech holding the Les Paul to prove my story for those who question.

[@davidevans3175]

Awesome!!

[@actorstuntman]

What year was it that idiots in the crowd started singing during concerts? It wasn't the 1970's.I stood 3 feet in front of Peter Frampton for the Frampton Comes Alive Tour. At the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan, with only a piece of plexi -glass in between us. I was the closest person to him and he played the entire album cover to cover. I mentioned the story on facebook about 38 years later. And received a facebook messenger message from Peter Frampton, who told me they had a 40th anniversary planned. And he asked me if I would repeat the story two years later for the anniversary, so I did.

[@MikeHimmel]

Strange, I saw him and he played his as off. Tone was really good. He was strong and solid. After 40 years of road beatdown he make look older but he brings it. Met him after the show and he was a class act. I could tell I met an Icon. He told me the story of when him and George Harrison were sitting in a field getting loaded on cheap wine. The clouds broke, Harrison picked up his 12 string and started writing " here comes the sun"! Fuck! Legendary.
