Frampton on the highschool bus - am radio - 1977???. Good album - overplayed on the radio........

Foghat - Fool for the City - 1976? - in the gym, playing ping pong - album on the record player - with a stack of pennies on the needle (wearing deeper grooves into the vinyl)

Van Halen - in the early spring of 1978? - in front of the Dairy Queen - with my red DQ uniform on - on an 8 track "super tuner".........Kachunk

I forget the exact years and I am to old to really want to remember, I think that I am close.

I was in grammar school when my ears heard that song (1976).

Today, there is an ad on TV where a young woman is talking with one of those voice instruments due to losing her voice box because of cigarette smoking. Every time I see/hear it, I start singing "Do You Feel Like We Do"... my wife says I am mean... I tell her "Hey, I am just turning a sad situation into a positive thing." Then she laughs and says, "Yeah, well... it really does remind me of that song , too."

Freshman year of high school and that album was just played everywhere. I believe it is still the biggest selling live album ever. Madison Square Garden I was in the green seats for that show and the place was jam packed with girls as he was a chick magnet.lol I love that album and the songs on it so you know I loved the show. A really fantastic player with a good voice and great band behind him. Bob Mayo who was his rhythm guitarist , keyboardist and back up vocalist was like a secret weapon that cat could do it all. I remember reading he died a few years ago,very talented musician. I also remember R2D2 from Star wars came out on stage, I was never into drugs so I did not imagine it.lol One of the best songs you can learn to play on acoustic guitar is Baby I love Your Ways but you have to learn the correct chord voicings where the shapes are similar to Black Bird by the Beatles as your just playing the A and B strings but strumming and it just sounds great. I learnt how to play that correct from watching him do it on The Midnight Special. I wish he never did that Sgt Peppers movie because it killed his career and almost everyone who made it halfway through the movie.lol But Frampton is still a fave of mine.

I was in sixth grade when Frampton Comes Alive! came out, but I probably never heard anything off the album until it became a monster hit about a year later. Frampton was very popular with the girls because he was good-looking. The level of hysteria was such that I had no interest whatsoever in him or his music. It wasn't until much later than I came to appreciate it. But I still view Frampton as largely a fad.

I really like all them "Aster" guitars. You know, like the Stratoc, Telec and Jazzm.

I'd been listening to him earlier in Humble Pie so buying Framptons Camel was a no brainer. Was living in my own apartment so I was about 18-1/2. Mike
