Peter Frampton-Comes Alive (1976)

In 1971 Frampton left the Humble Pie to start his own solo career publishing a series of good works such as "Wind of Change" (72), "Frampton's Camel" (73) and "Somethin's Happening" (74).
Just a year before releasing his amazing "Comes Alive", he had shyly entered the charts thanks to his album "Frampton" (75).
"Comes Alive" was recorded at the San Francisco Winterland Ballroom and collected a summary of his five previous albums, and was the culmination of a grueling tour that kept him throughout the United States for almost a year.
A spectacular sound, in which the Frampton technique stood out with avant-garde effects such as the famous Talk Box, the true hallmark of this album, very well chosen songs, from “Baby I Love Your Way”, “Do You Feel Like We Do ”, His version of“ Jumpin´Jack Flash ”by the Rolling Stones or especially the famous“ Show Me The Way ”as well as a luxury production decisively influenced the unexpected and spectacular success that this album had
The double album would establish a record by selling 16 million copies and staying 10 weeks at number 1 and 55 weeks on the list, being the first double live album in history to achieve such a sales success.
