Frampton Comes Alive! II (styled as Frampton Comes Alive II on the packaging) is Peter Frampton's second live album published in 1995. It is a sequel to his 1976 multiplatinum album Frampton Comes Alive .

Contents

The album contains live versions of many of the songs from his 1980s and 1990s solo albums, consciously avoiding his 1970s hits. It was accompanied by a video release on VHS, recorded at The Fillmore in San Francisco on 15 June 1995.

Frampton Comes Alive II was released on 10 October 1995 under IRS Records. Despite Jerry Pompili's optimistic introductory remarks, the album did not achieve commercial success. It reached No. 121 on the UK Albums Chart and did not chart in the United States.

All songs for the 1995 release were recorded at The Fillmore on 15 June 1995 except "Off the Hook", which was recorded the following evening on 16 June, and "More Ways Than One", recorded in August 1992 at the Ventura Theatre in Ventura, California. A special edition of the album was released on 30 January 2007 with four extra songs containing four hits from the 1970s. A DVD edition was released at the same time.
