Big Rich BrockHOST
I don't remember all 12 I got.
Big Rich BrockHOST
I remember one that I got that I thought it, well, everybody, if you were from my generation, and it cost you two because it was a dual album, Frampton Comes Alive.
Big Rich BrockHOST
I mean, you had to get that.
Big Rich BrockHOST
That was the album.
Todd BrandtHOST

Todd BrandtHOST

Mike TylerHOST
classic rock albums of all time.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
Oh, man, that must have been spectacular.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
My first concert at Market Square, and I was in the eighth grade, was Peter Frampton on the Frampton Comes Alive tour.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
And so this was 1976, 1977, 76.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
And Rick Derringer opened it.
AmandaHOST
Finally, question six asks us to name the artist who put out a double live album in 1976 that sold over 8 million copies in the U.S. and sold way more units than all of the artist's other releases before and after Combined.
GeorgeHOST
So this just popped Frampton Comes Alive for me.
GeorgeHOST
Yep.
GeorgeHOST
76 double live album.
GeorgeHOST
sounds about right and then the oh well if it's more than everything else then it's got to be that because it's not like eagles it's not fleetwood mac it's not the bgs it's not springsteen it's not any it's not elton john it's not any of the huge acts of the 70s that also happen to release a live album and another gen x thing of you know uh our parents or older siblings just kind of randomly having Frampton comes alive was such a thing.
GeorgeHOST
It was a joke in Wayne's world.
AmandaHOST
Oh yeah.
GeorgeHOST
I can, sing half of one i think um but yeah this was just sort of a thing that i was vaguely aware of having been this randomly huge album for a guy who you know made a living at it but by the time we were listening to music was just a guy who had made music previously
Tom GriswoldHOST
Have you seen that, Peter? No, I haven't.
Tom GriswoldHOST
Well, and it made me think about the great story of Peter Frampton's famous guitar from the cover of Frampton Comes Alive.
Tom GriswoldHOST
And there's an amazing story about that guitar actually returning to Mr. Frampton's hands after being in a plane crash and maybe or maybe not getting nicked, as they say.
Peter FramptonGUEST
Oh, my God, Nick.

Consider, Jimmy Carter campaigned against incumbent President Gerald Ford, Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci and American decathlete Bruce Jenner, now Caitlyn Jenner, became Olympic heroes, and Peter Frampton dominated the airwaves with his Frampton Comes Alive album.

Fidrich later graced the covers of Sports Illustrated and Rolling Stone in 1977, earning the distinction as the only baseball player to ever appear on the cover of the Rock and Roll publication.
Andy BarronNARRATOR
But on this late May day in 1996, Fidrich, clad in work boots, jeans, and a sweatshirt, was a simple working guy.
Andy BarronNARRATOR
Produced and narrated by me, Andy Barry.
