How the #$@! Was That Hit has never done an album until today! At the beginning of 1976 Dog Day Afternoon was the #1 movie, Gerald Ford was President and the Pittsburgh Steelers were about to beat the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl X. By the end of 1976 it was all about Charlie's Angels, JAWS and a live double-album by a relatively unknown guitarist, “Frampton Comes Alive”. Peter Frampton was seen as a guitar virtuoso in the music scene, but he had never had a hit to speak of. However, his guitar virtuosity, teen idol looks and constant touring for 5 years made both his band super tight and his live performances incredibly popular. With no hits and only a cult-like following his label took a leap and decided to release a live double album - and that album absolutely captured the American zeitgeist. It was everywhere you went in 1976, absolutely inescapable. It became the greatest-selling live album of all time and the number-one album of the year. But how? Well, it's a really interesting story. Give it a listen - Welcome to the Quintana Show. Q has spent years in the political world so he knows how to ask questions.
