After four studio albums failed to break through commercially, Frampton Comes Alive! transformed his career. The double live album eventually topped the Billboard 200, became the best-selling album of 1976, spent an astonishing 97 weeks on the chart, and has sold more than eight million copies in the United States alone.
"I think it's the greatest live record ever," Beato said in a video. "It's one of the greatest albums of all time. It's not just because of the songs."
The album arrived during the summer of 1976 after Beato broke his ankle and spent months recovering at home. Confined to the couch, he picked up an acoustic guitar and began teaching himself by playing along with the records his older siblings owned. One of them was Frampton Comes Alive!.
"I learned so much just from the first song," he said. "It was not even a single. It was just the opening track."
"The album is the best live record to me because it's the first record that I started learning stuff off of," Beato said. "Peter's playing is just unbelievably great. It's so perfectly constructed. His solos just flow incredibly well."
"Nobody saw the explosion of Frampton Comes Alive! coming," wrote Rolling Stone on the readers' poll. "Singles 'Show Me the Way,' 'Baby, I Love Your Way' and the 14-minute 'Do You Feel Like We Do' went into super heavy rotation on radio. He was loved by teenage girls, and their older brothers. He owned the year 1976 like nobody else in rock."
