Do You Feel Like I Do? is an incredible story of Peter Frampton's resilient life and career, told in his own words for the first time. His monumental album, Frampton Comes Alive! released in 1975, spawned three top-twenty singles and sold eight million copies, with over seventeen million copies sold to date. Frampton was on a path to stardom from an early age, first as the lead singer and guitarist of The Herd and then as co-founder, along with Steve Marriott, of one of the first supergroups, Humble Pie. Frampton was part of a tight-knit collective of British 60s musicians with close ties to the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and the Who. This led to Frampton playing on George Harrison's solo debut, All Things Must Pass, as well as to Ringo Starr and Billy Preston appearing on Frampton's own solo debut. By age twenty-two, Frampton was touring incessantly and finding new sounds with the talk box, which would become his signature guitar effect.

Frampton remembers his enduring friendship with David Bowie. Growing up as schoolmates, crossing paths throughout their careers, and playing together on the Glass Spider Tour, the two developed an unshakable bond. Frampton also shares fascinating stories of his collaborative work with Harry Nilsson, Stevie Wonder, B.B. King, and members of Pearl Jam. He reveals both the blessing and curse of Frampton Comes Alive! opening up about becoming the cover boy he never wanted to be, his overcoming substance abuse, and how he has continued to play and pour his heart into his music despite an inflammatory muscle disease and his retirement from the road.

Peppered throughout his narrative is the story of his favorite guitar, the Phenix, which he thought he'd lost in a fire. Frampton's journey is a testament to his resilience, talent, and the power of music to connect people. Do You Feel Like I Do? is a must-read for music enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates a remarkable story of triumph over adversity.
