Notes

In the '80s and '90s, many artists (especially in R&B and urban contemporary) have been so reliant on technology that their live shows pale in comparison to their studio recordings. But in the '70s, the opposite was sometimes true. Compared to Frampton Comes Alive — the best-selling live album ever — Peter Frampton's studio efforts sound downright tame. The Humble Pie graduate packed one hell of a punch onstage — where he was obviously the most comfortable — and in fact, the live versions of "Show Me the Way," "Do You Feel Like I Do," "Something's Happening," "Shine On," and other album-rock staples are much more inspired, confident, and hard-hitting than the studio versions. Commercially as well as artistically, this package (a two-LP set that later became a two-CD set) was undeniably Frampton's crowning achievement. Period.
