Frampton Comes Alive! is a double live album by the English musician and songwriter Peter Frampton, released in 1976 by A&M Records. Following four studio albums with little success and sales, Frampton Comes Alive! was a breakthrough for Frampton and is one of the best-selling live albums ever. `Show Me the Way`, `Baby, I Love Your Way`, and `Do You Feel Like We Do` were released as singles; all three reached the top 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and frequently receive airplay on classic rock radio stations.

Released on 15 January 1976, Frampton Comes Alive! debuted on the charts at No. 191. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 the week ending 10 April 1976, spending 10 non-consecutive weeks in the top spot through October. It was the best-selling album of 1976 and has sold over 8,000,000 copies in the United States.[5]

Frampton Comes Alive! was voted `Album of the Year` in a 1976 Rolling Stone readers` poll. It stayed on the chart for 97 weeks and was still No. 14 on Billboard`s 1977 year-end album chart. It was ranked No. 41 on Rolling Stone`s `50 Greatest Live Albums of All Time` list.[6] Readers of Rolling Stone ranked it No. 3 in a 2012 poll of all-time favourite live albums.[7]

In 2020, Frampton Comes Alive! was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[8]

Background and recording
The album Frampton Comes Alive! was recorded between June and November 1975, primarily at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco as well as Marin Veterans` Memorial Auditorium in San Rafael, California, Long Island Arena in Commack, New York, and a concert on the SUNY Plattsburgh campus in Plattsburgh, New York. The Winterland songs were recorded on a 24-track master recorder. Other concerts were captured on a 16-track recorder. Recordings from four shows were used for the original album. Master tapes were recorded at 15 inches per second using professional Dolby `A` noise reduction.[9]

The live album had been intended to be a single LP disc, but at the suggestion of A&M Records, additional shows were recorded, and the album expanded to two LPs for release. On the special features for the Live in Detroit concert DVD, Peter Frampton commented that some difficulty was encountered in the mixing after the microphone cable to the bass drum microphone was inadvertently pulled, accidentally causing the microphone to face at a 90-degree angle from the drumhead. During the concerts, Frampton principally used a distinctive modified black 1954 Gibson Les Paul Custom electric guitar (with three Humbucker pick-ups as opposed to the usual P90 and AlNiCo Staple pickups).[10] On the radio program In the Studio with Redbeard, Frampton said, `The album is mostly live except for the first verse of `Something`s Happening`, the electric rhythm guitar on `Show Me the Way` (the talk-box came out but the engineer forgot to move the mic) and the intro piano on `I Wanna Go to the Sun` were fixed in the studio but the rest was all live (all the guitar solos, acoustic guitars, electric keyboards, drums, bass guitar and rest of vocals)`.[11]
