One of my proudest moments as a parent was pulling into the driveway right after the talkbox solo, getting ready to turn off the engine, and my 9yo son asking me to "wait for the rest of it".

Sounds like it would be the case, but the record companies have WAY too much power especially from older artists because of the way the deals were structured. CCR sued John Fogerty for sounding too much like John Fogerty on his solo album, for example, and that's just the start of it lol.

[@JCRyan534]

"Do You Feel Like We Do" is, to me, the greatest live recorded song I've ever heard. What people don't talk about is that the audience is one of the instruments being played on the live recording. What I mean is that the audience and the band are so incredibly in sync, they rise and fall at Frampton's commands, they are being led as a unit through the rises and falls throughout the song and then the incredible roar at the end that they left in for 45 seconds after the music stops. My hair still stands on end when I listen to it. When I have an ear worm stuck in my head (because I always have music playing in my head) I play this song because it usually erases the ear worm. And I think why Peter Frampton is so loved is he seems like just a normal guy (not a rock star), self effacing, friendly, kind...i'm sure he's treated warmly by anyone whether they know him or not.

[@johnross9981]

Peter takes a 'bowl' from the front row and pipes up a couple of huge hits. Awesome concert, special piece of recorded history.

I'm from Cincinnati but I lived in Atlanta for 7 years. I wish I would have known of you then and had the chance to meet you and even possibly record with one of my 3 bands I was in as a drummer. What part of ATL are you in, if you don't mind me asking? I lived in east Atlanta village and absolutely loved walking into to the Earl on any given night and seeing absolutely amazing local and touring artists as well as catching some of my all time favorite bands at the Earl, Tabernacle, Terminal West, The Basement, 529 (AMAZING local talent there some nights) Variety Playhouse, The Loft, Eddies Attic, and Masquerade (RIP to the old building which was incredible) I miss Atlanta very much and wish I didn't leave often. The music scene has some incredible talent if you really look. If you haven't heard of the Atlanta band Challenger Deep, I HIGHLY suggest you check them out. They're insanely talented and are growing quite a following, rightfully so. Cheer Rick, keep up the great work and thanks a million for keeping me entertained, informed, and learning things I didn't know about some of my favorite artist. You're the man!!!

[@suzukioneida8942]

@Dzz Zz Thanks for sharing that! I love these stories because I was born in 1980 and missed the golden age of rock. Still lots of great bands in my lifetime, but I would give anything to see the original lineups of the Who and Zeppelin, for example. I did grow up with a landline though. :)

14:55 - the sudden break from a wide open rocker to this spacious breath is part of what makes this song so incredible, and it's what we miss in contemporary songs. The song had scope and range and took time to move you through moods. It gave you more than 3 seconds for a mood or break to develop. And that's why it has such power. You can hear the audience scream when it chills out. That's the opposite of what you would expect, but it's natural and appropriate. It's a moment to appreciate where you've been and anticipate where it's going next. And it delivers. I grew up in the greatest era for pop music ever!

[@cookrich]

Great 100th episode. Funny story... when this album came out I was in college. My dad was into race-horsing and went to a party held by the Gentry Farms for the Keenland Horse Sale in Kentucky. My dad told me he met a really nice guy at the party. He told me he had long hair like me and was wearing a ruffled shirt with his tux. We were talking about horses. We got done talking and I asked him what he did for a living said he played rock music. He said maybe your kids have heard of me. My dad then ask me have you ever heard of a guy named Peter Frampton... Crazy.

[@289hipo]

I knew at the time Frampton was breaking ground with what he did on that live album, blew my mind how they flowed so seamlessly through all the modulations and solos. 45 years and it doesn't get old, it's why I love what Rick does to peel back the tunes layer by layer, describing and explaining each one

This series has changed the way I think about and appreciate music. This channel has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise very challenging year. Thank you, Rick.

[@oligohome]

Frampton is so good because he "leaves space" between licks so that our brains have time to absorb the goodness he just gave us.

[@riverbuilder2251]

This is the most underrated gift he has that only you and I know.

[@RDC98TDI]

I also think it kind of humanizes the part being played. Makes it seem like it's a conversation more than just some random notes and harmonics that our ears pick up, giving time for the next part to build up a response if that makes any sense.

[@iamcasihart]

I appreciate this, as well. Prince, later in his career, specifically on the Musicology tour, did this too. It’s so joyful, sexy, smooth, and it feels delicious!

[@jadent33]

I agree completely… Same with the way video is shot. Today everything so fast, I hate it!

[@hochhaul]

Guitarists often feel compelled to just rattle off a constant stream of notes at the listener, but sometimes the most dramatic and emotional element a solo are the notes you don't play.

[@satyajitsahu]

Peter Frampton aside, how the hell do you play such elaborate solo in one go, note per note, with the feel, the tone intact? What a fabulous player you are Rick! You’re the one, who not only talks the talk, also rocks the Rock!

[@710LL59]

[@satyajitsahu]

@@710LL59 And he even takes a piece of music and reinvents and makes it even more amazing. Its sacrilegious to say anything about Stairway to heaven solo, but I truly love Rick's "re-interpretation" of the solo. What a well structured, well phrased-out playing that is!

[@mkay1957]

Rick is spot on hitting all of the notes in the epic Frampton Comes Alice version of this song. That really is amazing. It is a testament to his own skill as a guitar player, and his attention to detail and nuance. Frampton is one of those guitar players who has a unique and recognizable playing style, particularly when he solos. And he never plays a solo the same way twice, although he does throw in signature licks that are instantly recognizable.

[@carltonlarsen]

That whole album is just so freaking phenomenal. The band rocks so hard and so tight and Frampton is a tone and taste monster. On top of that there is the incredible showmanship of his mastery of the talk box. Incredibly influential and I think underrated these days.

[@rickrenshaw1]

Frampton is the quintessential cool cat. Very gracious of him to give two interviews to Rick, which makes me like him even more.

[@brahmburgers]

Frampton is proof that a great R&R musician can grow old gracefully and not lose his marbles. Often, they either burn out before 30, or get fat and dough-headed and look twice their age.

[@joshmc333]

I just want to drive home the point that this is the single greatest music channel on KZbin. The music theory, the insight and attention to detail about gear, engineering, production techniques, etc. are incredible. As a multi-instrumentalist, I really appreciate the fact that you cover every instrument in such detail, including special guests like Jack and Les -- and then you get Frampton himself in the video! You've done 100 of these videos, and hundreds more with other themes, and you're just as excited every time. Your passion and excitement are contagious, and it's helping me fall back in love with music. Thanks for everything you do, Rick!

[@joshmc333]

BTW I've always loved this song, and the guitar work in it is on par with one of my other favourite live performances -- incidentally also in D -- which is No Quarter from The Song Remains The Same. His playing has arguably as much (or more) imagination as Page's and is undeniably cleaner, yet he gets 1/1,000th the credit.

Rick, when I was 16 Years old I would listen to that album over and over trying desperately to distinguish the different instruments. But mostly amazed at the incredible melodies Peter would produce out of that Black Beauty. AT 16 I saved up and purchased my own custom les paul, saved for months then had to have the pickup rings made white. Spent more money having custom work done. Till this day I listen to all of his work and I am amazed at how he could just bang out these incredible melodies doing lead. You are absolutely right about his guitar leads sound like he is singing out the song.

[@DennisDolan-fl3mw]

Rick. It's great to see this again. Your guitar playing of the playing of Frampton is outstanding! At seventeen in 1970 I saw Peter in Humble Pie at Fillmore East, my very first concert. I was a beginning drummer. I saw Every show Frampton did in New York for the next six years. I knew the next song by Peter hitting one note after tuning between songs. I knew every note he played, oh those tremendous and musical solos! Then the Alive album happened, containing all the songs from half a decade performed, again. What a thing, to see Frampton grow and build and conquer and inspire. Wisely, he played every college in the USA, all those kids went home and told all their friends about Peter Frampton! It was a beautiful thing to be a part of.!! And you know every note, and you play them still with great excitement...that is awesome and inspiring Rick! Thank you.💙.

[@briangardner5905]

Oh my gosh!!! I was listening and enjoying EVERY MINUTE of this dissection of this so great of a song and I have a lasting personal memory of playing this song. I was in a band in Northern California, in the town of Pleasanton/Dublin. I was the drummer in "The Mogul Band" and we were a group that played ALL the high school dances for a few years. One of our guitarists came up with a talk box, at the height of the popularity of this song. This was in the 70's of course. I will never forget that our guitarist was on stage alone and simply said into the talk box: "Do You Feel Like We Do?" and the high school students in attendance, probably around 150 of them, already hyped up because they loved The Mogul Band, at his pronouncement - went crazy and then our other guitarist started playing the signature into riff and the students went even crazier. Well, for the next three hours, The Mogul Band could do no wrong. This is part of the reason about 10% of why I love this song so much. LOL - the other 90% is because it is such a completely great song!!!!! But I was seated at my drums in a very good band that the students loved. My Ludwig set sounded great and my playing was in pretty darn good shape because we were playing so much and consistently rehearsed every Tuesday and Thursday. Our Bass player was a guitar and English teacher at Dublin high, so we got to use the music room for rehearsals. No one in the band brought any drama to the rehearsals or live performances and no alcohol allowed when rehearsing or performing and no drugs of course. I am glad I have such a great memory to enjoy regarding playing this song, that I can still remember, vividly, after about 50 years from when I was playing drums with The Mogul Band and loving every minute.....B.Gardner - Las Vegas

The prototype of "jam bands" right here circa 1975. Rick's explanation of how Frampton plays with phrasing like a singer or horn player is spot on. The "space" the band leaves for each other creates very patient live tracks, which in turn highlight the audience's role in the performance. Fully comprehensive breakdown of this all time classic THANK YOU!

I will never forget the first time I heard this on the radio. And the first time at Grandma's house where my uncle had purchased the picture vinyl - watching Peter's face spin as this magic was coming out of the speakers. As many times as I played this on the radio myself and listened on my own I never stopped and appreciated ALL the elements that went into this masterpiece. After watching this video it explained what I FELT listening to this song. The buildup, the guitar breaths, the lead into the end.

[@ironwolfgaming9632]

I wore out 4 8 track tapes of this album when it was released. I was 17 and I have said it before on other channels - Q106 a radio station here in Michigan used to play on Saturday night at 9 pm a full side of an album and when this was played you could hear it all over town as the kids put the speakers on top of the cars as they drove around. I will never forget that 75 degrees on a night in late May and Frampton making me immortal for one night.

[@colby7325]

Its such a fun groove.

[@Cre8tvMG]

28:23 - the way it builds then roars out of the spacious solo section is also a huge emotional explosion for the crowd. Dropping into that massive D chord with the Marshall shredding and the voice returning is so powerful. And it is the tension of the spacious section that makes the return to the flat out rock so immense. I miss that kind of songwriting. Ironically, I find that kind of power and long term 'phrasing' now in the worship music sets we do at church, where you take time to breathe and meditate and then respond with abandon. It's sad that popular music has abandoned it.

You should have seen him (Them) live in concert. Going to the Frampton concerts ,taught me more about lead guitar playing then anything else I could have done, back in the 1970's. Plus I went with my younger brother,he is dead now.But I still have those memories and the knowledge of how to play real hard rock and ballads.Which I've used gigging for the last 40 to 50 years .

Rick! Hey, for quite a while now I have really really enjoyed this series, but you put on a 'tour-de-force' for this one, I can't say enough about how wonderful this deep dive was for me! I've always really appreciated Frampton, his guitar mastery, and this album- but as a 40year+ guitar-hobbyist, i could never quite put my finger on why Frampton's solos were so awesome, nor why they stood out for me. I am blown away by your lick-for-lick demonstrations, such a motivator for an old guy who's hacked away at many a classic without much success. Really cool to highlight Mayo's work, he is now on my short list of under-appreciated keyboardists! And bringing in your friends to highlight the drums and keyboards was sooo enlightening, that really upped the game for me, seeing how talented all the artists were that contributed to Frampton's success. A fantastic 100th episode, I salute your dedication to bringing out the incredible depth of these incredibly talented musicians!

@@leegarza3605 Anticipating the hiccup, when it went to cassette, and then to CD I still anticipated the trackjump. LOL

[@leegarza3605]

@@UncleHemi When I was a little guy, don't recall how old. Just that it was shortly after the Monkees : The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees was released. My big sister had just gotten it. She'd play it on the family console stereo/record player that was against the wall in the living room. Just above it about 6ft. up hanging on the wall, was a 6"x9" metal framed portrait of my father in his Navy uniform. Anytime someone would close the front door, that picture would swing out just a little bit. On the day that I slammed the door, that picture swung out far enough from the wall that it fell off its hook and landed corner side down on the above mentioned record album, leaving a catseye chip in it (tiny hole on impact side, big hole on the flip) . The song affected by the big hole was unplayable, but the song with the tiny hole only had a hiccup left in it. To this day, I still sing the hiccup version of "Daydream Believer" whenever I hear it...anybody within earshot of me singing along to it usually earns me a "WTF" look because the hiccup only happens once but since it lies on a part that's repeated several times, I employ the hiccup every time! And in case you're wondering, it went like this..."Cheer up sleepy Jean. Oh what can it -HICCUP- to a daydream believer and a homecoming queen".

[@mattjeffsdpt]

This is one of Rick Beato's best ever. A song that was a musical awakening for many of us. It didn't fit into the 3-minute ditty box. Could you imagine a 14-minute song on the radio today? It's modal. It's got overtones of jazz improvisation. It demonstrates hair-raising musicianship. So let me ask you: 'Do You Feel Like We Do?'

[@scottandrews1384]

Peter Frampton was my idol in 1977. Gawd, I wore my copy of this record OUT, but never could toss it even though it's nowhere close to playable (yes, I still have it). I was never a musician, but I thought I knew every note of this track. How amazing to watch this (or any) "What Makes This Song Great" video and see you dissect each part. I often go back after watching your videos and listen to these tracks with "new" ears even though I know little about music theory or performance. I do know "feel", however, and I think the magic of Frampton is his ability to make us feel like he does. My wish as a fan since boyhood is that crowd reaction and responses to this 100th episode result in us returning the favor. Congrats on the milestone, Rick - it's amazing to know that as you're rapping with these guys, you're as big a fan as your subscribers are.
