Do You Feel Like We Do? (Live 1976)

Hey there, Zoo Freaks, you’re groovin’ to the cosmic vibes of "Do You Feel Like We Do? (Live 1976)" by Peter Frampton, that epic jam from Frampton Comes Alive!. This track’s a 14-minute rollercoaster, and let me tell ya, it came straight outta Peter’s soul after a night of overindulgence—yep, he penned it with a hangover that could wake the gods! He’s shared in interviews how the band stretched it out live, especially that iconic talk box solo that makes your speakers sing like a psychedelic choir. The version we’re spinning was recorded at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom, where the crowd’s energy was so electric, it practically levitated the stage.

Here’s a wild tidbit: Peter once auctioned off his handwritten lyrics for this song to raise funds for musicians’ healthcare, turning a piece of rock history into pure good vibes. Over on X, fans still rave about his 1976 Midnight Special performance, where, at just 24, he owned the stage like a rock ‘n’ roll shaman. Even now, despite battling myositis, he closes shows with this song, pouring his heart into those final solos like it’s still the Summer of Love. His memoir, Do You Feel Like I Do?, spills the tea on how this tune became the heartbeat of his live shows, carrying him from smoky clubs to sold-out arenas.

Now, let’s rewind to how Peter Frampton got his start. Picture a seven-year-old kid in England, rummaging through his grandma’s attic and finding a banjolele—part ukulele, part banjo, all magic. No teacher, no YouTube tutorials, just pure instinct as he taught himself to play. By 16, he was fronting The Herd, a pop-rock band, churning out hits and dodging screaming fans. At 18, he teamed up with Steve Marriott to form Humble Pie, diving into gritty blues-rock that set stages on fire. Those early years of relentless gigs and studio sessions shaped him into the guitar-slinging poet we know, ready to unleash Frampton Comes Alive! on the world.
