Personally overseen by Peter Frampton, his legendary 1976 live album, Frampton Comes Alive!, has been mixed in immersive Dolby Atmos®, allowing fans to experience the best-selling album like never before. It is available to stream now on Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, and Tidal via A&M/UMe—stream it here.
The live classic, which has also been newly remastered in stereo, was sourced from the original EQ’d ¼” stereo production master created in December 1975 by Doug Sax. The album was first remastered by Gavin Lurssen in stereo then mixed in Dolby Atmos by Chuck Ainlay using the new remaster as a guide. It was important to Frampton that this definitive Dolby Atmos mix reflect the original vinyl and match the song transitions and side splits.
Frampton Comes Alive! made Frampton an overnight superstar. Released by A&M on January 6, 1976, the double album reached #1 later by the end of month and held the position for 10 weeks. It remained on the charts for more than a year. Selling more than eight million copies the first year (and almost 18 million to date), the self-produced album spawned three hit singles: “Show Me The Way” (#6), “Do You Feel Like We Do” (#10) and “Baby, I Love Your Way” (#12).
“Frampton’s musical journey is a testament to his unparalleled talent and versatility, and last night its culmination was on full display.”
“Despite the medical setbacks he’s faced in recent years, it’s obvious that Frampton still has a lot of fight left in him and that he’s not ready to hang up his guitar just yet.”
“It was a performance that left no soul untouched.”
“Iconic Brit shows us the way to keep playing with grace, humor, and some damn fine music.”
“In an awe-inspiring evening flooded with timeless songs, Frampton – who really doesn’t have anything to prove at this point – shows us the way and demonstrates once again why he’s undeniably one of rock’s finest guitarists; one who defies the odds and continues to thrill audiences, while still very much at the top of his game.”
“Frampton is alive on stage again.”
As Frampton celebrates his 60th anniversary of being a professional touring guitar player, the Grammy-winning rock legend has been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024 and is currently in the midst of the spring leg of his “Never EVER Say Never” tour.
