It's 1976, and Frampton certainly came alive, but ... why?

 

In my mind this has always been a legendary live album that I've never got around to listening to (same with Cheap Trick At Budokan).

So - am I missing something? Did I have to be there?

This was a fine listen, but nothing about this album bowls me over to the point that I recognize it as an obvious best-selling album of the year. 

Doobie Wah - fine. Do You Feel Like We Do - fun. Cool cover of Jumpin' Jack Flash.

But I'm not sure why this was such a massive hit. I'd love to hear from people who were there to explain the phenomenon.
