Do You Feel Like We Do - Live

This song is about a hangover. Frampton would often write from experience, and at the time he was experiencing the effects of a night of drinking. When he woke up that morning there was a wine glass by his bed, and he wondered how it got there ("Whose wine? What wine? Where the hell did I dine?"). Still hungover, Frampton went to rehearsal and somehow remembered some chords he was playing the night before on his acoustic guitar. The band hashed out the tune and told Frampton to come up with some lyrics, to which he replied, "I can't, I have a really bad hangover." His bandmates told him to just write about that, which he did.

After forming Humble Pie in 1969, Peter Frampton left the band in 1971 and embarked on a solo career. "Do You Feel Like We Do" was released in 1973 on his second album, which was named after his backing group, Frampton's Camel. This version runs 6:32, but was often extended during live shows where the band would do lots of improvisations during the song, often with Frampton scat singing parts of it. Always a crowd favorite, Frampton kept refining the song, which was recorded live on November 22, 1975 during a sold-out show at Memorial Hall at SUNY Plattsburgh. This recording was included on the 1976 landmark double album Frampton Comes Alive, which shot Frampton to stardom and became the best-selling live album ever, at least until live albums by Garth Brooks, Bruce Springsteen and The Eagles surpassed it.

On the live version, Frampton used a talkbox, a device hooked up to his guitar amp that allowed him to make distorted vocal sounds through a tube in his mouth. Other groups had success with the device around that time (Aerosmith used it on "Sweet Emotion" the year before), but Frampton became most associated with it thanks to his talkbox solo on this song. Frampton it to a whole new level: every time he formed words, the crowd went nuts, especially when he sounded out "I want to thank you," which came out sounding like "I want to f--k you." Soon, teenagers were crafting homemade talkboxes to imitate Frampton, often learning lessons on the dangers of electricity along the way.
