English rock musician Peter Frampton released the double live album Frampton Comes Alive in 1976 in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The album was recorded in the summer and fall of 1975, primarily in San Francisco and New York.
Originally, A&M Records, the label that Frampton was signed to at the time, wanted more than just a solo album. Thus, this live album was born. Before this album, Frampton only achieved moderate success, but this one was the icing on the cake for him.
