In December 1975, when Peter Frampton performed "Show Me the Way" on "The Midnight Special", he was experiencing a significant peak in his career following the release of his landmark album, "Frampton Comes Alive!" in 1976. This live album would go on to become one of the best-selling live recordings of all time, solidifying Frampton's status as a rock superstar.
