Rating: - Good follow up, but more like trying to recreate the original
As I have spent years listening to the original recordings and the true classic Frampton Comes Alive, I can't really pinpoint where I stand with this live album. It is good, and shows Frampton in his natural habitat; live on stage. I have to point out that most every moment or song on this album seems to be an echo of tidbits from the original album. If you took all of the successful ingredients of the first and attempted to replicate it on another live CD this would be the result. Peter still rips on Les Paul guitar as always.

Rating: - A Real Gem!!!!
from beginning to end, this CD is a classic gem! It's rare to find a CD that you can play from beginning to end and still crave for more.. Even though the first ALIVE CD will always be a classic gem from the past, ALIVE II has brought the entire catalouge to the present and beyond.. I totally recommend this CD for purchase and remember to keep an open mind when listening, you will NOT be disapointed!

Rating: - Sort of the same
Great music, as always. However, Do you feel like I do, was better in the original.

This CD was first released 20 years after the first 'Alive' recording of 1976. It was a single disk in America (Where it was almost ignored by the Masses). But an Asian/Austrailian version was the Two Disk Set that is now Released as this the "Deluxe Version".

This is a fine Bookend to the Original "Frampton Comes Alive". "Alive 2" features the Same Spirit of One of the Seventies Biggest Talents and Continues the Story where the Original Release ends with more Fine Songs and the Great playing of Peter and his Band: John Regan-Bass Guitar & Vocals... JR Robinson-Drums... and the Late Great Bob Mayo-Keyboards, Guitars & Vocals. There are some Great Songs: "Day in the Sun". "For Now", "You", "Can't Take That Away" and "Off The Hook". Peter's Big Hit: "I'm In You" is here as well and as with all of Frampton's Tunes I prefer this Live Version over the Studio Edition as the Whole Reason for the "Alive' tag is how these Songs become Bigger & Better on Stage. Peter's Playing and Performance has Gotten Better after Thousands of Nights on Stages such as these, and this is the Proof.

The Second Disk features the Most Popular Songs from the 1976 record: "Show Me the Way", "Baby, I Love Your Way", "Lines on my Face" & "Do You Feel Like We Do".

Peter is still out there as I Write this in 2007, still Releasing Great Music and still making the Girl's scream at Sold Out Show's around the World... SHINE ON
