Those of us who are older, grew up with people like Peter in our lives, though he wasn't aware. Our lives were immeasurably better for it. We can only hope he understands the impact he made and that we appreciate his gift to us.

I was 16 in 1976 and I remember that summer well! Frampton comes alive tracks were playing on almost every radio station, it was a glorious summer. Thanks Peter!

Peter Frampton is not only my favorite musician, he's an incredible human being, full of virtues, he loves animals, he loves his fans, he values them and shares aspects of his life with them, he is very humble, he is a tremendously talented, brilliant man, I feel immensely lucky to belong to a generation that has been privileged with hismusic and presence, thank you, thank you very much for filling our lives with joy with your beautiful music

Dear Peter, my name is Marco Ciargo, I was born in Caracas in 1961 to Italian parents. In my adolescence Frampton Came Alive was quite an experience and being able to go to your concert in Caracas was amazing after having seen you so much in the pictures of the album with your three pickup guitar while I was listening to you with my headphones. In that year I had a band called Resistencia and I was one of the guitarists, we had released our first LP and we had many concerts around the country.<br>One of them was on November 12, 1982 at the baseball stadium "Cesar Nieves" in the town of Catia La Mar, a town very close to the airport where the cargo plane crashed with your team.<br>That day in the afternoon while we were setting up our equipment on the stage where we were going to perform, some fans of the group approached us to meet us who lived in the town of Catia La Mar, while we were sitting talking with them in the stands of the stadium the conversation of the Frampton plane crash and the regrettable loss of all the equipment of the group came up, especially the loss of Peter's Les Paul, when one of the guys told us that a friend of his came to the runway after the accident and recovered the burnt case with Peter's guitar, I imagine that he had not been alone in arriving to the place to take advantage of what to take and that he had sold the guitar to someone who lived in Curacao or that he had taken it.<br>This remained an urban legend that lived in the uncertainty of the facts.<br>I remember that it crossed my mind to go and buy the guitar to give it back to Peter, I was 21 years old at the time and he could have rewarded me with another good guitar, but I never worried about that happening because it would not have been so easy to find it.<br>When I saw for the first time on YouTube the video of Peter's guitar found in Curaçao I said to myself that it was true then, that the guitar was in Curaçao.<br>I was very happy about that reunion because in a very distant way I felt involved in that story that seemed to be more implausible than true.

I sat in the audience tonight in Minneapolis April 1, 2024 and listened to that man play this guitar and cried my eyes out. I will never forget ever.

I actually played "Comes Alive" the other day. I have the original 76 vinyl and it still sounds awesome to this day, even my neighbors appreciated it, well, they had no choice.

I was smiling all the way through that.

Peter, in describing that album to younger people, I've said "you can literally hear him smiling through the music". It wasn't us smiling (though we do), it was YOU.
