1975 was my freshman college year and spent some of my last nickels on that album- Frampton Comes Alive.

I may have spent other nickels on herbal accoutrements..

Am I the only one that listened to him before this LP when he fronted Frampton’s Camel?

As a lifelong musician who has worked in the industry for over 30 yrs I think I’m qualified to say that Frampton is one of the most overrated guitarists of all time.

Zappa was a guitarist.

Frampton was just a pile of hair that could hold a pick.

Black Sheep Squadron jumped the shark, when they had Frampton in one of their episodes.

What’s cool in that pic is he’s plugged into a little bitty Fender Champ amp.

I watch him play that guitar at the Williamsport Capital Theater in 1974. I was three feet away.

Now if they find Donovan Leitch's Gibson J-45. The one he had with him in Rikishesh, India in 1968, when he taught John Lennon the fingerstyle and clawhammer techniques Lennon used in "Julia" and "Dear Prudence."
