I’m convinced the popularity of “Do You Feel Like We Do” (or whatever it was)was because the song was so long and the djs could creep out and grab a sammie or something while it played...

Full disclosure here and possibly an explanation of at least half the record sales/popularity of Peter Frampton - I was a silly young girl and when I saw his album cover, I was in love as only a shallow and silly young girl can be. I begged to have his LP for Christmas or birthday, whichever came first. I’d have wanted it if he was a cowboy rapping to bagpipes.

Aw, I think that’s sweet, Linda!

My sisters and I were so restricted on who we could listen to. I remember hearing the Doors for the first time, in high school, and it opened new doors hahahaha for me.

Funny thing, my dad would not let us listen to stuff, go to dances, and we couldn’t go to movies, but he took us to Sunday dinners at the prison where he worked. SMH and a huge LOL.

Well, as a almost 64 yr old, former touring musician (1977-1983 1400+ shows from Rhode Island to Virginia).

I 1st saw Frampton when he was the lead guitarist for Humble Pie, in 1971 Academy of Music NYC (I don't need on Doctor).Became a fan of his work then.

Peter Frampton revolutionized the rules to how to do concerts in indoor arenas. Up till then the stage would be on one end, there would be a wall of speakers and black curtains sealing off the back of stage seats.

He hung the PA speakers up in the Lighting Trusses and put low height speakers on the stage for the floor seating. When his live album came out Christmas of 1976 is was great and became a 1977 Tour.

I was at Madison Square Garden in March of 1977 for one of the shows. We sat 2nd deck Stage Left and the seats and sound were great(These seats would have been behind the black curtains and the wall of speakers before). He effectively turn MSG into a coffee house. It was so intimate, we didn't feel like we were one of 25,000 people.
