Peter Frampton

In January 1975, during the live recording for "Burt Sugarman's Midnight Special," Peter Frampton was enjoying a significant moment in his career. He had recently released the album "Frampton," which came out in 1975 and showcased his growing popularity. This album would soon lead to the blockbuster live album "Frampton Comes Alive!" released later that year, solidifying his status as a major figure in rock music. The performance captured on "Midnight Special" is notable not just for its raw energy but also because it reflects Frampton's musical style and charisma that would soon captivate audiences worldwide. Additionally, this period was marked by Frampton's innovative use of the talk box, which became a signature element of his live performances, particularly in songs like "Do You Feel Like We Do." This performance exemplified his rise to fame just before his historic breakthrough with "Frampton Comes Alive!" later that year.
