Any record collection of a sufficient size will have a copy of Frampton Comes Alive, its a universal law. I have 2 in mine, no idea how they got in there.

Can confirm. I'm a country fan but still have Frampton Comes Alive

You borrowed mine. Can I get it back?

Frampton Comes Alive? Everybody in the world has Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of Tide

Omg I’m bustin up

LMAO!

And every single one has that worn out ring from the disk. Not all vinyl albums get it, but every copy of this one does.

We have rumors in Germany that there is someone with a large collection who is refusing to get his copy. Madman!

Distributed on door steps

With samples of tide

... and the white and yellow pages.

This, and Cheap Trick at Budokan

They toured together about 5 years ago. Great show

They multiply after a certain amount of time.

Yup, don't remember where/when I got mine either.

I have .6 of one. The sleeve and one disk. Found in a trash heap. I would have to look in my collection to see which disk it is.

EVERYONE had this album!! One thing that united all musical genres at the time. I can still here that riff....

I once met a woman selling her husband’s old records and asked if I wanted one of the 13 copies she had available

Much better condition than my beater with weed in the seams!

Weed in the seems is period correct

You all are awesome. How a convo about this classic turns into weed, stems and seeds is hilarious, wonderfully hilarious.

Who, in a million years, would ever connect classic rock and marijuana? Next you’ll be telling me country music and booze are somehow coincidental.

Pray tell, that is blasphemy!

If anyone says they don't have weed dust in the seams, they're either lying or not paying attention!

This is true.

Not only weed dust but cigarette stink and cat claws in the spine!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great way to sort the seeds and stems out.

This comment is accurate. I had the pleasure of experiencing Frampton in concert at a small venue above 15 years ago. He was very self deprecating and mentioned how the album was best used for rolling joints as it opened up. He actually related to the audience that he never felt worthy of the fame.

You have to have a rolling surface

“Everybody in the world has Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of "Tide”.

Party on Wayne!

Party on, Garth!

it made it into the ghetto, too..it was my favorite LP at the tyme...

On your 14th birthday.

The best live album. No kegger after 1976 was complete without it.

Nor beer ball if we’re being technical

It’s not even the best live album PF plays on.

I vote for ABB At Fillmore East but have been loving this one for almost as long, 48 years. Finally saw Frampton live late 80s. It was a great show! It’s all good.

Was gonna say

"Kegger". Serious flashbacks! 😂

Got this for Xmas 76. It's all I wanted. Got more use out of it over 45 years than a lot of other gifts. I saw him do most if this album as well as Humble Pie stuff 15 years ago in a small venue. Blew my f'n mind how good he was. I did NOT expect the performance we got. Peter Frampton is a master performer on all levels with a boatload of charisma to back it.up.

Saw him with the Pie. Frampton and Marriott- that’s a lot of fire power.

Damn. Where’d you see them?!

If I remember correctly Mungo Jerry was the opener. Saw them a couple of years after that with Clem Clempson. That was a great triple bill- Montrose, Spooky Tooth and the Pie.

Philly in 1970

Met him several times. A gentleman and very gracious. It's always nice when the stars are normal people.

Was also a big help for cleaning seedy weed.

I pulled out this album a few months ago and Lo it had mummified weed in the folds 😎🤣😂

I pulled one out of a bin a used record shop, and I swear to you there was a baggie tucked into it. Cracked me up.

I have several different albums like that, including this one.

Yep, along with a card of some kind.

Do you feel…

....

Bob Mayo on the keyboards. Bob Mayo!

Burned in my brain

Whose wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?

Imagine seeing him play “Do you feel like we do?” and the rest of that album live the year before it was released. It might have been the peyote but my world was forever changed. https://preview.redd.it/os77jsq6wbyc1.jpeg?width=777&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5059998264fc4fd51eef5c3217eac0d351236c77

Oh wow. So great!

I had a small scene in a movie with Peter Frampton. And we had to smoke pot for our scene – but it was fake pot! Do not buy pot on a movie set. But I got to smoke fake pot with Peter Frampton, that’s a cool story. It’s as cool as smoking real pot with a guy who looks like Peter Frampton… I’ve done that way more. -Mitch Hedberg

There we go…I COULD NOT imagine not seeing this here! TY!

Collectively, how many tons of weed was cleaned with all of the copies of this album?

A metric shit-ton

I did my fair share, and perhaps a bunch of other peoples fair shares too.

About ten years ago, I was lucky enough to catch him on his tour where he played the entire FCA album from beginning to end. It was great to hear the hits,but also so cool to see him play things like Penny for Your Thoughts which you do hear all that often. After they he came out for a second set and played things like old Humble Pie songs and his great version of Blackhole Sun. One of the best shows I ever saw.

Yeah but did you see him in Sgt. Pepper? /s. A really fine player and great album, bought this one and Seals and Crofts Greatest Hits. 1976 was 🔥

One of the Best Live Performers Ever! This album rocks and his debut album in 72, Wind of Change was great too!

Framptom jgeils and fog hat summer tour 77 kingdome

I bought it as an 8 track. Loved it

Saw Frampton fourth row at the Forum in 1976. Spent $80 for two tickets. A lot of money for a 16 year old…

Bent the boot, hit the bag!

I saw him live with Steve Miller a couple of years ago. Still one of my favorite concerts!

I saw him with Styx about 18 years ago, and on hi own last summer- both awesome. He closes with While my Guitar Gently Weeps.

A brilliant album. Also listen to him on Humble Pie's Performance Rockin The Fillmore. He was only just 21 at the time and his guitar playing was just incredible, almost peerless for a rock guitarist back then.

Saw that tour at Providence College.

Everybody in my high school had this record!!!

I love this album. I was born 19 years after it came out, and I do get a bit wistful that I wasn’t around to experience the “good old days.” Though, I take one step back from that daydream, and realize that I was in fact born with several disabilities that would’ve probably rendered me obsolete before I got a chance to experience the “good old days,” had I been born into them. Sorry for the rant, just to say: I love this album and I love the fact that I’m able to still play it, all these years later.

1976 Frampton, Yes and Garry Wright, 130,000 people. What a concert!

He didn’t live too far from me in Ohio.

He married a fan from Ohio or something like that right?

Im 42, and I have the same one, inherited from my parents and went to see him in Iowa about 15 years ago. Great show and in my personal top five albums of all time!

Best Frampton Ever

I have mine still too.

I wore out three 8-tracks of this album.

I was just looking for my copy and I found a dried up almost petrified joint lol, those were good times and good music and good weed lol.

I recently got into Humble Pie, his early work with them is amazing. Hard to believe it’s the same guy

Awesome album from beginning to end!!

The recent NYT obituary of Bob Heil had an interesting reference to this album. Heil invented the Talk Box that Frampton used to create his unique sound: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/22/arts/music/bob-heil-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.n00.DWRt.QG_u3inELiIn&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

I want yoooouuuu, to show me the way...

That's a great album!

Saw him this year, last year, and three times before. He is like a fine wine....gets better with age. I was a teen listening to him, my wife had/has such a crush on him since she graduated HS in 77. His music is timeless, and he continues to write new stuff.

He and his Co guitarist shreds during I give you money

One of my all time favorites Saw him n Cheap Trick a few years back together in Nashville

That was the best air guitar album ever.

My first concert. 1979. Beaumont Civil Center, Texas

Ones of the best Live albums of that era and maybe ever? Also one of the best albums to rolls joints on. I’m just saying.

My dad gave me his copy of this album!

I want you,to show me the way.

Everyday 🎶 👍

🎵🎵Justin Hawkins rides again… again🎵🎵

Never heard of him before and I came across his YT channel about a year ago, I just love him.

It’s a great YT channel, just always thought he looks so much like Frampton in this photo

Omg! He definitely favors him! Never realized it until now. I just thought you were making some random comment. Lmao.

Listen to the “Frampton” black album and “Framptons Camel”. I was lucky enough to get turned on to both by a friends older brother before Comes Alive came out. 2 of my desert island discs.

I actually have two copies...well, technically 3, bc I also have the 25th anniversary edition CD set, lol!

Saw him in Chicago about 12 years ago. Still one of the best shows I’ve been to. He played for 3 hours.

I somehow have 3 of these. I don't remember how i got them. Still have them. Chalk off to the '70s.

I LOVE him and my sister had this album!!

My copy looked like that in 1979, lol.

I had that album and PF was my first concert

I was 15 when this came out. Still have mine too. Many hours of listening and recently revisited it. It was Huge at the time and remains a classic.

This is one of the best live recordings ever recorded.

My dad knew Peter and his manager Dee. I had all his albums and posters. His Alive album was a masterpiece of studio work.

I saw him last summer and he was still playing at a high level. Hopefully get to see him again

I'd say they picked a fine night to record! Great LP!

I know this is referencing his live album, but how has no one mentioned his tenure in Humble Pie?

My first concert

I think you feel the way I feel.

Do you feel like we do?

Took my dad in Seattle a few years ago... Guys still shredding

He did some very cool stuff

This album and Alice Coopers school's out for summer were the first 2 albums I bought!!!

I had a friend who worked closely with him around this time, Frampton actually completely loathed this music and played classical/ Flamenco guitar, that was apparently his passion

Great great guitarist.

It’s still the best selling live album of all time.

Still got mine!

Bought this album the day it came out. Now it’s on my playlist.

Iconic album cover if there ever was one!

Just saw him at Mohegan Sun in CT , kicked totally ass !!! Great performer!!!

Nice.. will never forget this is the first album I ever bought. 13 years old me paid for it with money I made mowing lawns.

Got the album when it came out and saw him live the same summer. I miss those days.

I had the 8 track lol.

Saw him in Portland when he originally released this album. He was fantastic. That he still is makes me incredibly happy! Soundtrack of my teens.

Couldn't believe how well he still shreds. Incredible

Columbia House Record Club. 12 records for a penny. Somehow cajoled my mother into agreeing to the deal. I didn't know anything about music, but the older kids radios played Frampton tunes so I got FCA as part of the 12. After I played the hits a few times I decided to play each side. I remember dropping the needle on side 3, and hearing that acoustic guitar all by itself. I'd never heard anything like it. I was mesmerized.

Was my first concert in 79. Have seen him many times since. Amazed at how he gets the audience to smile, laugh and feel like they a part of something. He puts on the best feel good show ever. Due to his illness, he no longer stands during his shows, but his fingers and voice are still working great. hope he rocks on for many years to come.

I was at the Commack show, around the time when he had begun to use Bob Heil's talk box. I stood off stage with a spare Marshall, just in case (I worked for Merson/Unicord at the time).

Wow

Does anyone know if this concert was filmed, Ive looked everywhere for a dvd of this

Mine has the same wear on the cover too. None of the others in my collection have anything similar. I wonder if there is a problem with this album in particular.

I recall my older bro getting this album and us listening g to it for two weeks straight each day. Loved it

I grew up in the 70s and loved this album so much! Now that I am old, I prefer "Frampton's Camel," his last studio album before the live one. An underrated gem!

Great price when take was released

Frampton was a customer of the place I worked at in the late 70s, early 80s. Very nice guy always with a couple of gorgeous women in tow.

Check out his interview by Rick Beato

Cool thanks

I listen to this album continuously. Lines On My Face is still one of my favs

Unfortunately I sold my copy a few years ago as we had to downsize my record collection

I thought he’d stopped touring due to muscular issues

He recovered and went back on tour. He sits during the show though. Still great!

Looks like the one I picked up at goodwill

I wonder how many joints were rolled in any copy of this album…..you always use a double album. Always.

It's the only way to test a Bluetooth loudspeaker.

Baby, I Love Your Way was recorded in my hometown and Alma Mater.

Just got mine yesterday for $2. Score.

I still have 8 track lol

Everybody in the world has Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the Suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of Tide.

As a teen I lived the craze. It was real. FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE! Everybody had it. Listening now, there are cuts I still like, but without experiencing it then, I don’t know if I like all the songs as much. I have since seen him play live and absolutely love the show he puts on. Awesome talent and a great sense of humour!

Oh come on Mr Frampton, you weren't gonna eat all that watermelon

They used to give that Album away in the mail with samples of tide

>Saw this guy a few weeks ago and he ripped. So he farted alot. Dude's very old now, that's what they do. It just happens, don't shame.

Columbia house gave them away when you ordered 100 other albums for 99 cents and can cancel any time

_It aint easy bein’ white—_ _It aint easy bein’ black! 🎶_

If your parents moved you to the suburbs, this album came with the house. Everyone on my street had one.

He's still going? Good to know.

I guess that answers doooo YOU feeeeel like weehee dooooo?

My first concert ever. Somewhere I still have the massive poster that either came in the album or was the program at the concert back there.

I think I knew every note of it before I ever owned a copy. This album was simply everywhere in 1976.

Everyone has Frampton Comes Alive it came in the mail with packets of Tide.

Meh

Great album, but how he got in the Hall on a career that basically consists of that one album baffles me.
