On July 2, 1977, Peter Frampton was riding high on the success of his landmark album "Frampton Comes Alive!" which was released earlier that year in January. This live recording at the Oakland Coliseum captures Frampton at a peak moment in his career when he became an international superstar. "Frampton Comes Alive!" featured hits like "Show Me the Way" and "Baby, I Love Your Way," both of which are performed during the concert. The album itself is one of the best-selling live albums of all time, showcasing Frampton's exceptional guitar work and his engaging stage presence that captivated audiences. Notably, this concert aligns with a broader trend in the 1970s where live recordings became a vehicle for artists to reach mass audiences, and it was instrumental in establishing Frampton as a formidable live performer.
