Description

Peter Frampton released his second live album, Frampton Comes Alive! II, through IRS Records, 21 years after the enormous success of the 1975 album Frampton Comes Alive!, which sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. The new album featured live versions of songs from his solo albums of the 1980s and 1990s, but it was not commercially successful, reaching only number 121 in the UK and failing to enter the U.S. Billboard 200.
