Early on in his career, the legendary guitarist was in the bands the Herd and Humble Pie. However, he found his greatest success as a solo artist with his international smash Frampton Comes Alive in 1976. That historic live album has sold well over 6 million copies in the US alone.

Watch the full performance of Do You feel Like We Do from the Midnight Special in the mid 70s! It features close-ups of Frampton using the "Talk Box". Crazy good!
