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".

[@JeffCloutier]

Yes! I actually took my 9 year old son to see him. 10 years ago!

@@RickBeato Killer job as always Rick!! I've been watching the channel for about a year now and absolutely LOVE IT. I was super bummed when I recently realized you're in Atlanta. 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]

I already hold this tune in high esteem. Listening to Rick examine the individual elements while Peter Frampton adds commentary is in my opinion, an example of just how good the Internet could be.

[@E.R.Schnaben]

Episode 100 - I am speechless, except to say this is a breakdown to beat all breakdowns of probably the most amazing live rock song ever. Thank you to Peter Frampton for the song, and to Rick for giving it even more deserved recognition with superb analysis. Wow!

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.

[@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.

[@Cre8tvMG]

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.

[@BobGaydos]

Rick, your joy is infectious! Thanks to Peter Frampton for his active cooperation in this video.

Generations later, if they still have these videos, people will be required to watch Rick Biato’s “What Makes This Song Great” series, so that they can understand the artistry AND history of this music. Rick - these videos are a gift to the future, just as much as these incomparable songs.

I wasn't a big fan of Frampton back in the day for the reasons that so many have pointed out here. My God, I was an idiot. After watching this it pisses me off that I didn't woodshed this entire song in high school. The things I could have learned. Also, you're a scary talent, Mr. Beato. Loving your channel.

[@douglaszolton8985]

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 .

[@jwagner3d]

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!

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.

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.

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

Because I still get tears in my eyes and float back to that moment. Standing in front of Frampton watching as history is being made. Can still hear me hooting and hollering and my husband, at the time, whistling. Just makes me smile. What a memory, I can re-live anytime. Ty Peter.

[@michaeltberman]

I’m 56. During my school years in Oregon City, OR, My best friend and neighbor lived across-the-suburban-street from me in a 1973 built split level house. Chris, my buddy to this day, had this quiet, gentle lithe and slender 4 year older “Swedish featured” shy Sister Barb. She had a giant huge Frampton poster on the wall over her bed. She had the double live album. One day the house was empty, but for me and my friend Chris. We snuck into her bedroom. We unsleeved her brand new Frampton album, and so gingerly lowered the needle to the album surface. When this sung played, I was over come with both the sensuous dynamic and gritty sexuality feeling to the music and vocals. That association remains to this day. I loved and love the song and the way the band communicated to the audience. But as always Beato makes the song new and exponentially better in manifold ways. THANK YOU!

But NO, SIR! He keep it simple, solid, consistent, right on spot. You might think that is an easy thing to do, but as a bassist I can tell you: The self control to be THAT solid is amazing. So awesome! That bass line is what makes the rest shine. What an awesome chapter! A well deserved song for an awesome Episode 100. Thanks, Rick!

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.

[@tlevans62]

You know Rick is loving a song when he’s air drumming, and saying “woooohh..” with a massive smile on his face..

[@melodicdreamer72]

That is really one of the most iconic music pieces of the 70's. Rock on Peter and Rick!

I wish I could give this more than one "thumbs up." Absolutely amazing song and killer breakdown. Thank you so much.

[@costaricapuravida6159]

I've loved this song since I was 15 years old, it always made me feel great, upbeat and happy. Now, after almost 45 years, I understand why! Thanks Rick and thank you Peter Frampton.

[@mikecooper2093]

I have enjoyed this Frampton track for decades but never understood what was going on. Thanks Rick for yet another awesome vid. I recently found Peter F and Eric Clapton playing While My Guitar live. Peter’s joy is infectious. What an amazing musician. Both.

Rick, this is my favorite “What makes” episode. Your rapport with Peter Frampton is fantastic. Hope to see you sit down with him in the future.

[@willreznicek4202]

Super fun episode.

[@1996slamster]

There’s a certain nostalgic feel or emotion attached for a person that was there when this song was new. You’ve done a fantastic job of making it possible to feel what we got to live.

I love that rick says "you wouldn't hear that in a song nowadays" like dude a song nowadays wouldve ended six minutes ago :P

[@WeaponsEducation]

I saw Peter in late 2019 in Palm Beach, FL. Front row. What I loved was how he told the story of every song he played. The sound quality was as if you were in a studio with him. Then COVID hit in Feb, 2020. I hope he has one tour left in him with his illness.

[@greghenderson8745]

What illness? I haven't heard about any illness.

[@soaringvulture]

@@greghenderson8745 Mr. Frampton has something called "inclusion body myositis", which is a progressive degenerative disease. Sadly, it destroys the strength in one's fingers as well as making it difficult to stand. So it's not a good prognosis for a guitarist.

[@kenleppek]

Such an amazing song. It's a whole production all on it own, and to think, it was recorded live! Today's musicians are just of a different breed from these original rock superstars. People in the work force always say that folks of the same generation as Peter have a lot better work ethic and it truly shows even in the music of the era.

[@nmichels]

This is the greatest solo of all time. Especially the last part. Totally rips it. Get goosebumps every time!

[@ronphilip3832]

I'm a 'blues' guy so I never really got into Frampton and others who were straight ahead 'rock' or 'pop' or both. Your analysis of this song (which I've heard probably 10,000 times) was terrific and infectious and helped me get a better appreciation of his talent as a songwriter and guitar player- and you're a damn fine player yourself. Thanks.

[@MiniShowProductions]

how can you not like frampton ?

[@dennisapplegate7553]

If you haven't checked out is work with Humble Pie ,you have to some of the best blues from England. He was only 17 when he started with them . I caught them a couple times on their first US tour .

[@jaycesimmons7785]

I was just thinking that this one is ricks masterpiece. I just loved every bit of it.

[@leefury7]

I never saw Peter in concert. I have his Detroit DVD and watched it many many times. All that said, I am not musical. My ear knows what it likes and it can catch when something sounds "off." But it amazes me just how complex music can be and this video on Peter's hallmark exemplifies that. Everything about this song is great. I love the organ/piano solo. Of course th voice box gives it something that others don't have. I remember a song back in the 50's where female singer's voice is given a vacillating echo sound to it as if it is far away and then moves in close. It still plays in my head from time to time but I have no idea who any it or what its name is. It is said that in heaven sounds will have color to them. I hope we hear Peter playing this there. The light show will be out of this world.

[@sanjeevkalra5351]

I guess a bulletproof way of making sure the video isn't taken down is having the artist in the video. Solid move, Rick.

[@kitrichardson5573]

Don’t be so sure. Mike love got an injunction to keep Brian Wilson from using the name “the beach boys” when he toured

[@Guitarplayer724]

Only if he owns the rights to the song, unfortunately.

[@JeremyDeWallMusic]

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.

This song was played in our Rock point Disco, in a little town in Germany close to Dortmund in the 80ties ,a mixture between Hippie and Punk Club, some drugs around, a very mixtured audience, and a bombastic sound system, and I immediately thought, this is one of the best music that I've ever heard.Never forget these times.

[@RonGalloway]

I named my favorite car Bob Mayo. When I would car pool I could hear kids yelling “Bob Mayo’s here!” when I pulled in to pick up. Life is grand. This song is grand. What an episode.

RICK, can I just say, you are taking me back to a great place in my childhood🤗 Older brothers, whom appreciated great rock and roll music, and didn’t mind to share it with their annoying baby sister…I’m forever grateful to them, and now, to you😎

[@can2mar]

You really teached me that even the most miniscule detail can change the soul of a song. Legend!

[@bongodoug]

My goodness Rick, you just nailed some of the greatest solos in rock and roll history right there. My hat is off to you for that. My hat is off to Mr Frampton, as well, for being a genuinely good guy all around and making such timeless music.

[@idkvwad]

This song fueled my love for classic rock and inspired me to pick up guitar. Its such a powerful and timeless piece. Glad you chose it for ep. 100!

[@robbysguitars8223]

I consider Bob Mayo's solo one of the greatest of all time. The first time i heard the song in 77, the talking guitar stood out, of course, but the piano solo blew me away.

[@joeadair3906]

Such a great example of how a “musician” hears music compared to just someone generally listening to a song. WOW !! Excellent.

[@josephclayton1835]

Peter is such a classy guy, he has been interviewed on our local radio many many times. A real genuine person and witty. Probably my favorite song, did you ever hear it on an 8 track? It changes track right in the middle!😀

[@leegarza3605]

I hated that so much...that little piece of metal on the tape ruined so many songs. It's like intentionally shooting a vinyl LP with a bb gun, then playing it. It's gonna have a hick-up in it.

[@UncleHemi]

Met him twice. Very personable, approachable. Genuine nice guy.

[@UncleHemi]

@@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".

[@7775Kevin]

God your right! I had forgotten that. Drove me nuts when that would happen on an eight track.

[@sparkyhartfield7777]

Another song from the soundtrack of my life, expertly and enthusiastically broken down, by Rick, and willingly signed off by Frampton. Forty plus years after I first heard this one, I STILL get psyched when I hear it. And yeah, after seeing Rick nail the guitar parts, I suddenly want to hit him with a big green glob of Envy Jello!

[@TheAlexCruz]

Even though I'm a little on the younger side of Rick, I fully remember when this song hit the airwaves thanks to my older brother. I had the pleasure of seeing Peter perform somewhere in the early 80's. Thanks for this break down of one of my all-time favorite live performances, Rick. And thanks to Peter Frampton and the score of outstanding musician's that he's had back him. Seeing and hearing this level of performance is something else to behold.

[@mariannewestrope3888]

I was there in 1977. Amazing concert. Decades later, driving at night listening to satellite radio and they played it! A 14 minute walk down memory lane.

[@sbyrstall]

You have to love a musician who enjoys sharing how he/the band came up with a song. Frampton is one to admire because he wants people to enjoy his music.

[@WalterPavlikII]

I think most artists want their listeners to enjoy their music without a doubt. I think Frampton goes an extra step with being in this video to kind of want to point out some of the choices. To be honest I would like to have heard Frampton address the solos and how they came up with the ending himself. But hey perhaps he's done that on another video

[@MrUltraworld]

Peter's playing is so unique. He sounds like Peter Frampton, no one else.
