From Frampton Comes Alive, his 1975 chart-topping live album. That year I began dating a girl I met at work, and most summer weekends we drove to Bethany Beach, Delaware where 9 friends and I had rented a beach house for the season. I would pop this 8-track into the tape deck and we would listen to it on most of the trips to and from the beach.
Two years later we tied the knot and in June we'll be married 47 years. About five years ago we were out driving somewhere, and this one came on the 70s Sirius/XM channel. She looked at me and said "You know, I never really liked Peter Frampton." Oh well.

Yes. First thought, naturally, "Too late now to throw her back in the pond, I suppose."
But then, what if she was willing to put up with Frampton to get to you?!?

Everybody had a copy of this album in the late '70s.
A couple years ago I was listening to the radio in the car, I recognized and correctly identified a song from this album by the few seconds of crowd noise before the first note was played. [I don't recall right now if it was Show Me The Way or Do You Feel Like I Do.]
Yes, I can "Name That Tune" in zero notes.

8- track, love it! If you haven’t seen Frampton live, you are missing out. Frampton Comes Alive! is an amazing story. A lot of bands are not that good live, but he broke the mold.

Who was it that did the live show where the piano got lifted up and turned upside-down while he was playing? Ferrante and Teicher?

I think Keith Emerson did stuff like that.
