Frampton Comes Alive

[BernieStevens]

Frampton Comes Alive is the greatest live album ever. No? Name another.

Btw, yes I did buy it and wear it out in college. SUNY Stony Brook baby!

Not an album, but I'll take Pam Grier live over Peter Frampton.

Yeah, it's definitely a good one. Frampton is an underrated guitarist.

He and Steve Marriot were terrific together. Much more of a blues rock sound than Frampton's later work. Their live album, "Performance - Rockin' the Fillmore" is spectacular. Give that one a listen, they're inspired performances.

I'd have to say the best would be The Who's Live at Leeds.

Frampton Comes Alive is a great live album but a bit overrated, IMO. I can easily rattle off a dozen better ones from that era alone, including, but not limited to the following: The live disc from Cream's Wheels of Fire Concert for Bangladesh Aretha Franklin - Amazing Grace Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys Simon and Garfunkel's The Concert in Central Park Grateful Dead - Europe '72 The Allman Brothers - Live at Filmore East Dig the New Breed by The Jam (recorded at various concerts btwn 1977 and 1982) MC5 - Kick Out the Jams Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense

Warren Zevon's "Stand in the Fire" is great. As is Frank Zappa's "Tinseltown Rebellion" I like both of those much more than Frampton Comes Alive.

My Dad went to school with him.

Live at Leeds by the The Who is the best live album ever made.

'Wa, wa, wa' was the Autotune of the 70s.

Of course, how could I have forgotten that? Wasn't Merle Haggard in the audience as an inmate? Or is that an urban legend?

It's absurd how overrated that album is. Just ridiculous.
