After looking up Peter Frampton and seeing he did the song "Baby I Love Your Way," I sort of had an idea of what he sounded like.

This song is NOT like that song though. This make-shift maid was having a hard time keepin' it together, I tell you what!

Frampton has an insanely great stage prescence and not only is his guitar playing phenominal, but his vocals match his guitar skills!

The band has a simple build but you wouldn't think it with how they gel so well and groove in this performance.

I was sweating after this reaction...Lol.

NittPicc, did you hear the Frampton version of "Baby, I Love Your Way", or the 1988 remake by American group Will To Power. (which was a #1 hit.) If you heard it in a grocery/department store, etc, it could have been either one.

Panic probably already filled you in but, before going solo, Frampton had already made a name for himself in the blues-rock band Humble Pie with another legend (whose vocals you'll need to check out )Steve Marriott. 'Frampton Comes Alive' is the 4th best selling Live album of all time, and that came following several solo studio albums with little commercial success. (He's 25 yrs old here)

I believe the device is called a talk box. I think the sound variations are controlled by the air going through the tube that is being changed by the air pressure in the mouth

NittPicc rocking out to a 50 year old recording of Peter Frampton. Worth your Patreon subscription alone. Its actually a "Talk Box" ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_box Talkbox technology was invented in 1940. A talk box uses the mouth as an acoustic filter, while a vocoder uses electronic signal processing. Peter was the first to use it in mainstream music ... and dare I say, probably the best. You know who else mouths all the guitar parts? None other than Steve Vai. Go watch Bad Horsie. After Frampton did this everyone had to have a talk box song. Aerosmith with Sweet Emotion, The Eagles with Rocky Mountain Way. Ironically Joe Walsh released that song before Frampton. He originally wrote and recorded the song with his band Barnstorm in 1973. It was ... not a smash ... and The Eagles rereleased it in ... 1977 I think? This is how we used to get our music ... on television and vinyl. This was near the end of the virtuoso period in rock noted as ending in the mid 70's. NittPicc is not alone as Frampton was very popular with the ladies back in the day which may have led to him being overlooked as a pure musician. Where does one buy silver pants nowadays anyway :p ??? As noted in DISCORD it took the people in charge of inductees at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until 2024 to go ... yeah, I guess Frampton is pretty good. guitar_andy posted a few entertaining notes on that subject in DISCORD.

That is a Fender Rhodes model electric piano.

Peter started off in the 60s with 'The Herd' who had moderate success with 3 singles in 67 & 68. He left to join 'Humble Pie' partly because he didn't like the teen idol/pretty boy image he was given, then after HP he went solo. He is still touring today but having been diagnosed with inclusion body myositis, a progressive muscle disease that affects his ability to play guitar and perform he is restricted to playing from a chair. You can see from recent live performances it's a bit of a struggle for him now but there's still sparkle in his eyes and feel in his playing.

"Rocky Mountain Way" was from Joe's first solo album The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get (1973). Same band members as Barnstorm, just released under Joe Walsh. It charted at #23. He performed it with the Eagles after joining in '76 but they did not record it.

Talk Box makes the instrument (guitar/keyboard) sound like the human voice >>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<< Vocoder makes the human voice sound electronic/mechanical

I love a good 10+ minute song. You're so stuck in the moments that the artist is creating that you don't realize how much time has gone by. I feel like it was more prevalent back in the day, but every once in a while a newer artist will throw one out there.

Oh, the memories this brought back. I wore out side 4 of "Frampton Comes Alive" listening to this over and over - I would recommend listening to that album. I saw him in 1977. The list of bands from the 60s and 70s is long, the top ones personally are some of the usual suspects. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Rolling Stones, Cream, Aerosmith, Boston, etc.

He's amazing live. Have seen him 5 times. And pardon the phrase...but yes...he was quite the panty dropper back in the day. Pink Floyd. Zeppelin.

Frampton was one of my first exposures to Rock when I was young, probably 7 or 8. It was such a shame disco killed his momentum, along with many other great rock stars of the mid-70s.

A star studded flop ... the movie was. I loved it. The casting was brilliant. The brothers Gibb and Peter Frampton. George Burns, Steve Martin, Alice Cooper, Steven Tyler ... to name just a few.
