If you have never see him live, treat yourself. Frampton comes alive!

I saw him with Greag Almond in the 90's and it is still one of my favorite live shows I have ever seen!

My dad got me into Peter Frampton, He's a big Frampton fan. I love the way he uses the talk box. Even though he didn't invent it like most people think, he still uses it best IMO, great guitarist.

It's funny that most people don't know who he is. Another thing that's funny is last year, I ordered a talk box from an online music store for my lead guitarist, and the guy I was talking to asked why I wanted one. Told him that my band plays songs that uses a talk-box, and he laughed and said, "Oh. Thought maybe you had seen the commercial for an insurance company that used Peter Frampton."

My father has Frampton Comes Alive on vinyl, and it's in excellent shape. He bought another sealed copy about 15 years ago at an estate auction. Paid $14 for it. Wonder what it's worth these days?

Don't forget Richie Sambora. That guy uses the talk-box in a pretty well, also.

Some more of my favorites. You are right, most people only remember songs from Frampton comes Alive but there is a lot of great music he has been a part of.

To me Framton = Show me the way...

I liked his talk box. You don't see that often these days. This is the best talk box I know. It starts around 2:40.

Walsh is great! I like Frampton for more than the talk box though. Check the last link I posted and you will see what I mean. The collaboration with Steve Marriott was pure greatness. Steve will be truly missed.
