"Frampton Comes Alive! II" is a 1995 live album by English musician Peter Frampton. It is a sequel to his 1976 multiplatinum album Frampton "Comes Alive".
The album contains live versions of many of the songs from his 1980s and 1990s solo albums, consciously avoiding his 1970s hits. It was recorded at The Fillmore in San Francisco on June 15, 1995. 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 i have found 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".
