Framton Comes Alive, was a studio produced track that was made to sound live. It was one of the greatest recording feats of the early 70s. Peter Frampton could never play that song as well as the one recorded with piped in applause, riffs, and vocals.
Thus, I disagree. In fact most of the Live Versions out there have been re-recordered and every channel the mixers possess are tweeked to fix it for your continued enjoyment. You want proof - I went to an Eric Clapton concert in Hong Kong and got the live recordings from the front row. Later on they released tracks which destroys the myth of LIVE music recorded.
Again, you might experience something at a concert, but if you are listening to a LIVE version it has been re-recorded and cleaned up. In fact, it went back to the stuido to be edited in order to be released as LIVE.
On 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)”.
Either Frampton’s a liar or you are.
