She resisted at first, but of course resistance was futile.

If only I still had my '77 Grand Prix, we could travel in style. But she wouldn't be caught dead in it anyway (she claimed only pimps now drive '77 Grand Prix's and therefore we'd be targeted by the cops or worse, other pimps), so it's just as well...

I see there are no Peter Frampton fans here. I bet you all would be HUGE Frampton-atics if he still had hair.

I see why she resisted ...

LMAO, thanks!

In 1977, Peter Frampton released "Frampton Comes Alive!" It was a 2-album set and was the biggest selling live album of all time for a looooonnnnnggggg time. You could NOT escape Frampton.

He released a follow-up - "I'm in You" that was OK, then he got the lead in the film version of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". That filmed bombed, and Frampton kind of disappeared.

However, many many guitarists will tell you Frampton was a big influence on them. Frampton himself credited Django Reinhardt as his biggest influence.

Thanks for the kind words!

I know who it is, but I could not name one song..I just know the name, sorry! But have fun!!

Awesome! Have a great time.



Cassandra: Wait, let me show you what I got at a garage sale.
Wayne Campbell: What'cha got?
Cassandra: Isn't that great? You've heard it?
Wayne Campbell: Exqueese me? Have I seen this one before? Frampton Comes alive? Everybody's got Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of "Tide".
Cassandra: Look at this old one. Gerry and the Pacemakers. Wayne: Wow. That is old. You know, I bet those guys actually have pacemakers by now.

I love Frampton. I even have Humble Pie's "Smokin" cd. He was in the band before going solo. I have the "Frampton Comes Alive" cd. Now I'll have to listen to it!

That year may be why I don't know this person, thats the year I was born

Hey, I'm five years younger than you, so it probably depends on who our parents introduced us to. I could mimic the guitar solo from "Show Me The Way" before I was walking.

"I Have Been in You"
I have been in you, baby
And you
Have been in me
And we

So intimately
Entwined
And it sure was fine
I have been in you, baby
And you
Have been in me
And so you see
We
Have been so together
I thought that we would never
Return from forever
Return from forever
Return from forever...
You
Have been in me
And understandably
I have been in 'n' outa you
An' everywhere
You want me to
Yes, you know it's true
And while
I was inside
I mighta been
Undignified
And that is maybe
Why you cried
I don't know
Maybe so,
But what's the difference now?
I have been in you, baby
You have been in me
Aw' little girl, there ain't no time
To wash yer stinky hand
Go 'head 'n' roll over
I'm goin' in you again
In you again
In you again
In you again...
I'm goin' in you again-ahhh
In you again, ah!
In you again - ahhh
In you again, ah!
In you again - ahhh
In you again, ah!
In you again - ahhh
In you again, ah!
I'm going in you again, baby
'N' can go in me too,
That's true
I'm goin' in you again, baby
'N' later when we get through
I'm goin' in you again - ahh
In you again, ah!
In you again - ahhh
In you again, ah!
In you again - ahhh
In you again, ah!
In you again - ahhh

LMAO at the title of this thread

I can't remember any of his songs for the life of me, I was too small. But I do think my big sister may have had a poster of his on our bedroom wall, and at the least I remember his face was on the cover of "Teen Beat" and "Tiger Beat" magazine all the time. You are right in that he served great hair But that's all I remember. Besides, I was more of a Shaun Cassidy type of kid

I'd go see Peter Frampton.He's GREAT.His 1976 'Frampton Comes Alive' album should be in every record collection.

Frampton Comes Alive was my first concert .....Good Times ....Peter still rocks !!!

Frampton is the man - always was. I actually like the fact that the focus is on his musicianship and not the "pretty boy" image, though his guitar chops were always respected. Peter Frampton, like Robin Trower (another guitar great)are consistent live performers, which is why they have a pretty good live following.

Plus, he seems like a cool guy with a great sense of humor and self-awareness.

I really got into him when he played on David Bowie's Glass Spider tour. Loved his playing.

BTW, I dug his take on "Black Hole Sun": http://www.youtube.com/wa...L40Ak5QV6I

Frampton came alive!

The show was good. Dude can REALLY play. I think it's interesting to look at the kinds of songs he wrote, as compared to what's put out today. Frampton and his ilk were just so much more sophisticated. It's like the old guys know 20 times more chords than today's musicians. Probably because they learned how to play listening to great musicians, as opposed to the grunge rock that preceeded today's rock.

Anyway, he played the hits and some new, instrumental stuff. "Do You Feel Like We Do?" was obviously the highlight.

My 13-year-old son's review was this - "Too much guitar playing; not enough word-singing". LOL, I guess that personifies today's small attention spans.

All in all, I recommend his show, especially if you like to hear a talented rock guitarist.

Did she ask for a divorce?

Great topic name!! I'd love to take my wife to see Framp-tone. I DID resist him for years and then 2 years ago I gave Comes Alive a listen. To say it changed my life is a bit of an overstatement, but I can't deny that I listened to that CD (and his first four solo LPs) A LOT over the next 6 months. He and that live LP are a lifeforce, def. deserving of its rep.

And here's my tip to those tht might be tempted to get a copy: Get the original version (remastered as a single CD) as opposed to the dbl disc, which has four bonus tracks. The dbl disc gives you the concert in its original playing order, which is nice, I guess, but nowhere near as satisfying as the sequencing of the original LP. I can't tell you why, but that's the case.

It's weird that Frampton is such a joke now. It's a shame (a plain shame ) since he IS such a talented guy and that live LP seems (to my ears) to have a lot less in the way of overdubs when compared to the other live LPs from that period. What you hear is what the audience heard.

This much I know: My son (age 13 months) will be raised in a world where Peter Frampton is respected. I cannot promise him a life free from suffering, disease or misfortune, but I can guarantee him 4 sides of escapism, soaring melodies and that crystal clear tone!

Last year or so,he performed a 20th anniversary show at the same venue where 'Frampton Comes Alive' was recorded.It was here in the Bay Area,but I didn't go I bet it was a special night!

If anything, Peter Frampton has become more respected as the years go by. He gets props from fellow musicians and casual listeners alike. Heck - he's even been immortalized on the Simpsons! Even at his greatest "teen dream" peak, there was always the live Humble Pie album and those early solo albums to remind folks of how good of a musician he was.

The only thing that could be considered a "joke" (for all involved) was his decision to take part in that Sgt. Pepper movie...He's even admitted as such. And that "I'm in You" album cover kinda backfired as well - again, something he admitted.

But one thing's for certain - the man never disappoints live!

Actually it came out in early 1976. I was a high school sophmore at the time, and I remember all the white kids going crazy over this dude, more than Springsteen.
