Easily the most overrated and overplayed live album of all time.
If I ever have to listen to Do You Feel Like We Do again, it'll be too soon. Live trickery is kinda cool, but it cant make a weak song great. If dude had actually done some quality songs in the first place, they might have gotten some attention on the studio album before this overblown double exploded on the airwaves. Even the other hits are intolerably lame, especially the middling Baby I Love Your Way.
EVERYBODY had this when I was in jr. high: now nobody does.
This album reminds me of being real young, like 4 years old or younger and it brings back good memories. OK it's not perfect but I like it. I think my Parents played it a lot. I was born the year before it came out.
Frampton was one of those 70's sucess stories: he created alot of terrible music, no fans to speak of.
Then, suddenly, scored one of the decade's biggest hits- this double album was frigging huge!
He had a simple formula- frizzy blond hair, shirts that probably didn't have buttons, long guitar solos, mellow romantic ballands.
I used to enjoy listening to that strange guitar/voicebox that could say "thats all roit!!", (everyone at the time found it exciting).
He sold millions of records.
If you haven't listened to this artist, give it a try. Its interesting and enjoyable pop music.
Personally, I haven't played this for years (i must admit,in years gone by, I istened to it quite a bit).
I agree with the other posts on this site- Its been flushed down the toilet.
How does a guy who was not much more than a secondary guitar player in a band (Humble Pie) that had its biggest successes after he left release four solo albums in four years that go absolutely nowhere, suddenly be found worthy by his major label of releasing not only a live album...but a DOUBLE live album, complete with the full backing of A&M Records (and some rather overly enthusiastic and strangely loud crowd reactions)?
To me, the biggest puzzle about this album is how it was ever even made in the first place.
And, of course, he followed this up with what was, predictably, the worst one-two punch of a follow up in the history of recorded music...I'm In You, which stunk mightily despite guest spots by Stevie Wonder, a Beatle and a Stone...and his starring role participation in maybe the worst film AND soundtrack album of all time, 1978's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which pretty much destroyed not only his career, but also put a halt to the steadily rising star that was the Bee Gees.
Frampton is a fine guitarist...but he never did anything, before or since, to warrant the release of a double live album by a major label. _________________ May we all get to heaven

Well. it was clearly even more genius then, right. On the part of the record company exec who could forsee this blowing up just like it did. I never listened to this that much back in the day since their was far better live rock albums from the 70s. Never minded it though when it would come on at a bar or sth. Definitely just fun 70s nostalgia.
