Blow up NTV. All you hear now is mainly CRAP, and a whole bunch of RETARDS ATTEMPTING POETRY, A.K.A RAP. Too bad those days are long gone, I miss em!!!!!!
"Champagne for breakfast and a Sherman in my hand.....do you feel like i do? Yeah we were both wasted. Had to love it. It worked out cool for me. How'd it work out for you?
I saw this when I was 12 and thought PF was just the coolest guy in the world. My mom had to tell me who he was. Midnight Special was THE show at the time.
Joe Walsh taught him how to use the talk box, and after Frampton hit pay dirt with the live album, Walsh was pissed off. I dont know why? I guess he felt he deserved credit.
I cant even calculate how many brain cells died, and how many times I barfed out beer and wine while this song was jamming in the background.
I can't believe this was cut off just as he was about to use the voice box. The instrument he catapulted into the mainstream. This song is usually twice as long.
OH F***N YEAH! I remember hearing this LP in my 74' Chevy Van. It looked like Jolly ol' London, full of coltas smoke and full of girls Yeah DO YOU FEEL LIKE I DO?
I cannot believe that I went to a house in Boca Raton about a month ago for a simple inspection and realize that the man I was talking to was Don Kirshner and his wife. Nice People
I remember watching this on TV in the mid 70's. Yes I was just 12 years old or so... but check this out: I saw Peter perform at a bar, the Flaming Mug in Fayetteville, NC in 92. Peter was doing a short series of bar gigs to warm up for his comeback tour. Just a few months later he was doing the big arenas across the country. I feel so lucky to have seen him in such a small, personal space. I was like three feet away from him. I so wish I had taken a camera with me and an album for him to sign!
What a goof ball, awesome song but as a performer this guys has always sucked even to this day. He did a great job recording it or someone did I can only imagine how many takes it took to get it right. All in all Frampton comes alive was his only one hit wonder. Now he plays clubs or small venues. We watched him in the Woodlands in Houston and I was glad he was just a small part of the show.
Paul Kirschners rock concert was another staple in those days.I waited for weeks to get a glimpse of my favorite bands.Oh,my, just to re-live the past when all this music was coming to fruition.God , I hope re-encarnation is real, I want a second chance!
Wow the midnight special - what a great show. For all you over-50's (like me) had to see it every weekend. It was the last show on tv before the tv went off - no satellite, cable, dvd players, etc. good memories. I had Frampton Live on 8-track. Even the guy I dated back then resembled him! Wish I could go back to the 70s/80/s lol
frampton comes alive was soooo huge that it came in the mail with samples of the new and improved tide detergent !!...lol !!!! such a cool cool song..the musicianship, song writing and energy is unsurpassed to this day !!
This performance was right before they recorded the live album. I was there in 1975 at Winterland in San Francisco when Frampton came to play. We didn't know that they were recording it. later that year I heard this song on the radio and said "Hey that sounds familiar."
Next thing I knew the album was out and it still sounds like old Winterland. It even says on the album "Long live Winterland". I still tell my kids here that that's me whistling there.
What happened to all those blond locks? My guess is he had all that hair transferred to his back like so many of us as the years go passing by. One would think with all the cash he has made he could make a couple of trips to Bosley for some store bought hair.
would somebody puleeeeze post the entire video of this?!?!?!?!!! just when this tune gets groovin and he switches on the talk box.ppppfffttttttthhhh! the end.........
i remember seeing this live in oct 76 at madison square garden, this was THE concert the whole world was waiting for. me and a handful of friends slept out 2 nights at the staten island mall macys to get tickets. i still have my wplj 95.5 button they gave out. there was probably 25,000 people smoking weed. those were the days
I think I am going to buy all these Midnight Specials on DVD...Thank God for some technology because if not for my Ipod in my car I would be forced to listen to radio, though I really miss the days of great radio not wanting to get out of the car because of one great song after another and MTV just blazing with great music....Days are gone...
@40Rtruss I know what you meant about sittin in the car cause the song is so good! Check out Shoutcast (internet free radio) for great radio. I haven't left the office since I found it. I love the station The Eagle. Classic radio, few ads and rockin ALL DAY!
@40Rtruss I agree...however..as part of the MTV generation (1981-1990) I must say...IF they actually played Rock'N'Roll and kick ass vids LIKE THEY USED TO...then I'd be down for some MTV!!
@40Rtruss i was born in '80 so my only exposure to Midnight Special is on youtube via Time Life. this show is sick. i wish there were shows on TV now that brought not only the talent of the bands featured, but showcased the influences each member had musically and how that influenced their current musical/lyrical style in relation to what they were playing on the show.
ah, the 70s. good weed, lsd, sex, beer, rock'n'roll and a slow ride on your harley. freedom, see? not this rat race we see today. its all about money and 401ks and all that financial shit. so much of that is lost now.
Thanks for the video. Some excellent stuff off that Live album, sounds as good now as it did then (when I was a little kid). Good feel and some great live drumming. The 70's were full of great guitar tones and riff driven songs.
(Be warned some CD's don't have all the tracks off the double Live album.)
@pbmax interesting comment that page idolized him. do you have a quote by page that expresses this sentiment? much appreciated because i am a fan of frampton
Frampton's name may be on the marquee, but this band wouldn't have had near the depth without Bob Mayo. Mayo's work on the Fender Rhodes keyboard is timeless.
Bob Mayo had a great career and brought us a lot of great music - not just with Frampton, but plenty of other artists. I was shocked to find out how many tracks he played on that I'd been listening to for years. And he's prominently features (Frampton names him) on what was one of the biggest albums of all time. Rest in peace, Bob - thanks for everything!
I make neon signs and find it absolutely amazing that on the Midnight Special, everybody got a custom made neon sign that was up to six feet tall. That would be an expense unheard of today. The giant bowl of blow in the dressing room would be a bit much too.
@thelowmax I don't know if they were custom. I bet you the just had a bunch of letters built up and hung them as they needed. It was a summer replacement show,
@scason Due to the length of the band's name, the dimensions of the letters were always different. There may have been some standard letters but some had to be made to order. Either scenario could be true. But I'm still hanging on to the image of 70's excess.
@thelowmax I think that each letter is an individual light that they just place in a different order to spell out the band name. Probably could have gotten by with an initial investment of 35 or so letters in all. With that in mind I am guessing the big bowl of blow in the dressing room was the bigger expense. Couldn't reuse that each week now could they.
..Yep, I feel you. This piece crossed-over all lines, as it was nothing short of amazing. ...It's also the reason I started using a Heil Sound 100W Talk box with the bands I played in doing that era. Yep, those were the days!!!
una de las clasicas de Frampton muy buena primera guitarra y el sonido con lo que hace con el instrumento que esta es su boca que no se como se llama excelente!
Eff U All... This was the music of the time...and thats all that matters...There was no other music (of the time) that rockheads) could relate too.....Eff You all ! Say Donna Summer.........
I remember watching this live on a black and white TV in our home when it aired. I didn't like the split screen effect, and this is the first time I have seen it since then, and it is exactly as I recall it except in color. The split screen effect seemed gay to me way back then--both are men, and their faces get so close. I wish they hadn't done that because neither of them is/was gay (Bob Mayo RIP). I do like the camera work on Frampton's guitar. He really makes the Les Paul COME ALIVE!!!
please dont make fun of the fans of peter frampton or his band members because my uncle was bob mayo. the one playing keyboards so if your disrespecting him your disrespecting me, my family, and his fans. let his sole R.I.P. 1951-2004
bob WAS the man on the live album..miss him...i'm not a star but that album and what he did for the band was brilliant , caused me to play guitar ..pretty sure peter would confirm, he was it...all the best..
The Leslie is probably hooked up to Bob Mayo's Hammond B3 (the back is facing the audience)... and no, I realize he's playing a 88 key Rhodes here, however they typically they ran dual 122's/147's for the Hammond, depending on the venue... Not saying that Frampton didn't play through it, but it's either miked from the back or used for stage volume.
I don't have the link readily available educortazarc, but the original full length version is available here on YouTube. I found it after I had posted thet comment. It rawks !!!!
I just saw him last year. Got to hang with John Reagan. Peter has done nothin but get better and better over the years. I never get tired of listening to him!
I saw Frampton play at Hughs Stadium in Sacramento just days after this aired. I was up close nearly on the stage :) Awesome show- crowd was roaring. He's really skilled with talkbox. If i remember correctly, Rod Stewart and Loggins and Messina opened for him!
He's right its a leslie cabinet...but I just use a univibe pedal instead. Plus you can do Hendrix and David Gilmour stuff with it too. Pick one up, you wont regret it!
I believe that was part of the standard set of The Midnight Special for some time ... BTW This ROCKS !!! , and I still have my Frampton Comes Alive Vinyl LP ( Well Worn !)
I wonder if Frampton and Page ever hung out. They are like Blond/Blackhaired inversions of each other in some ways. They have similarly wild, raw ways of soloing but they are definitely distinct and almost opposite within that particular style of power guitar play.
I like the analogy but Page always sounds very wimpy to me. Not to slag his playing he is great but i just have never cared for his style of the way he mixes his guitar. Its a very thin sound. Frampton has a very identifiable sound on the other hand. Very high treble and chorus sound i could pick it out anywhere. Its a much fuller, richer sound. But both great guitarists for sure.
thats cos page uses really light strings and on early recordings a tele (single coil) and also the majority of zeppelin stuff was recorded before marshalls had master volume(more gainy that way), where as im sure frampton comes alive was recorded with a marshall that had
Fingerprints is nice, but the licks are pretty easy to play and standard. Most guitarists would tell you something like Led Zep "Presence," is far more innovative and tricky to play. This is why few of us guitarists waste much of our time on playing things by Frampton, and we spend years on Zeppelin.
Check for yourself. Try and find any other musician guitarists try and copy more on Youtube than Jimmy Page. There is an actual reason for this.
Ang- Does Tim's look today match Frampton's? Growning older (who ever thunk it?) is an amazing thing... I'm sporting a do heading to his current look, but back in 75... it took an hour to get my hair 3/4 of the way dry....
Another great artist left out of the Hall of Fame, Uh lets see, Journey, Bad Company, Chicago etc.... the list goes on and on. Madonna, Talking Heads, Metallica??????
I want to start a petition to ask Palladia to start playing 'The Midnight Special' every Friday or Saturday night. I think that would be great to see and it couldnt hurt their ratings!

Yes..we played a lot of rock music there and then!

..Yep, I feel you. This piece crossed-over all lines, as it was nothing short of amazing. ...It's also the reason I started using a Heil Sound 100W Talk box with the bands I played in doing that era. Yep, those were the days!!!

I remember watching this live on a black and white TV in our home when it aired. I didn't like the split screen effect, and this is the first time I have seen it since then, and it is exactly as I recall it except in color. The split screen effect seemed gay to me way back then--both are men, and their faces get so close. I wish they hadn't done that because neither of them is/was gay (Bob Mayo RIP). I do like the camera work on Frampton's guitar. He really makes the Les Paul COME ALIVE!!!

It looks like he has a Leslie set up next to his amp.(??) ..I know he used one on "Comes Alive".
hollister841 2 years ago
The Leslie is probably hooked up to Bob Mayo's Hammond B3 (the back is facing the audience)... and no, I realize he's playing a 88 key Rhodes here, however they typically they ran dual 122's/147's for the Hammond, depending on the venue... Not saying that Frampton didn't play through it, but it's either miked from the back or used for stage volume.

I saw Frampton play at Hughs Stadium in Sacramento just days after this aired. I was up close nearly on the stage :) Awesome show- crowd was roaring. He's really skilled with talkbox. If i remember correctly, Rod Stewart and Loggins and Messina opened for him!

Aaaaaah, at :36 he kicks in the Leslie cabinet, love that sound. See it, its the white cab besides his amps.
In case you dont know, its a rotating speaker used with hammond organs.
godluckyhoward 2 years ago
He's right its a leslie cabinet...but I just use a univibe pedal instead. Plus you can do Hendrix and David Gilmour stuff with it too. Pick one up, you wont regret it!

I wonder if Frampton and Page ever hung out. They are like Blond/Blackhaired inversions of each other in some ways. They have similarly wild, raw ways of soloing but they are definitely distinct and almost opposite within that particular style of power guitar play.
myersp 2 years ago 8
I like the analogy but Page always sounds very wimpy to me. Not to slag his playing he is great but i just have never cared for his style of the way he mixes his guitar. Its a very thin sound. Frampton has a very identifiable sound on the other hand. Very high treble and chorus sound i could pick it out anywhere. Its a much fuller, richer sound. But both great guitarists for sure.
roquefortfiles 2 years ago
thats cos page uses really light strings and on early recordings a tele (single coil) and also the majority of zeppelin stuff was recorded before marshalls had master volume(more gainy that way), where as im sure frampton comes alive was recorded with a marshall that had

Frampton can do more with a guitar than Page.
landriver1 2 years ago
Wow landriver...
evidence of support for this?
Lagomort 2 years ago
My evidence is Frampton's "Fingerprints" CD for starters. If page has a CD that equals that please let me know....I would love to hear it.
landriver1 2 years ago
Fingerprints is nice, but the licks are pretty easy to play and standard. Most guitarists would tell you something like Led Zep "Presence," is far more innovative and tricky to play. This is why few of us guitarists waste much of our time on playing things by Frampton, and we spend years on Zeppelin.
Check for yourself. Try and find any other musician guitarists try and copy more on Youtube than Jimmy Page. There is an actual reason for this.
Lagomort 2 years ago
No, look up live zeppelin performances, Page is crazy when he's not all heroined up. Look up dazed and confused live.
CrazyDave408 2 years ago
@myersp peter is a trained musician ,... IMO his solo's are more fluid and jazzy than Pages.

Ang- Does Tim's look today match Frampton's? Growning older (who ever thunk it?) is an amazing thing... I'm sporting a do heading to his current look, but back in 75... it took an hour to get my hair 3/4 of the way dry....
