Because they produced hit after hit after hit, they were seen by the casual fan as more as a pop group, when in reality they were doing some really impressive prog rock. Love the guitar solo extro on this track. More Supertramp please!

These guys in Supertramp were musical geniuses with such a unique sound and many great songs.

"Bloody Well Right" is far and away, their very best tune. You know those tunes that are so impactful that you know exactly where you were the first time you heard it? I was in a JC Penny fitting room and heard "Bloody Well Right" for the first time over the store speaker. I was gobsmacked by how good that song was. I'll never forget how much my jaw dropped to the floor.

You'd really enjoy a deeper dive into Supertramp - lot's of great music there.

Just when you think they have exhausted the variety of vibes you could get from a tune they come back with two more and they all work! This is one of several bands I really wish I had seen them in concert.

It seems that it’s time for Asia & BJ for Supertramp’s masterpiece: Fools Overture. Everything this band can be in just one song.

Supertramp had two great songwriters (Roger Hodson and Rick Davies), who with the band's success, sort of began to compete within the band, with each singing their own compositions. This led to Hodson's departure announced at a performance in Germany in 1985. In this song Davies sings and Hodson does the falsetto.

This album, along with Pink Floyds "The Wall", Van Halen II, The Cars "Candy O", and Tom Petty's "Damn the Torpedo's, made my Senior Year of high school tolerable.

Absolutely love ALL of Supertramp!!!!!! Born in '72..totally grew up since a toddler with this group. My parents were dedicated music lovers & had every music group album literally. Music was always playing on my fathers record player through his phenomenal stereo system & huge speakers.

Less frequently requested, but little gems still : Hide In Your Shell, Don't Leave Me Now, Crime of The Century, and Fool's Overture.

im a spanish 30 yo dude and i remember hearing this in the car when i was a kid... today i rediscovered this song. never listened more than logical song from this band. this made me tear but from happiness for having all this beauty in the world

Phenomenal band and album.I was a pee wee listening to this and many more greats thanks to older brother.

Quality, Can't Go Wrong With Supertramp.

This album and Michael Jackson's Off The Wall reminds me of after High School Beach trip...great times.

So glad for you to listen to this!! My favorite Supertramp song, bought this album in 1979, what an awesome band! Thanks for the reaction! This song is about "one night stands". I never realized that for many years! Rock groups touring from city to city, meeting a girl in each town. The guitar effect is using "tremolo".

I have had the extreme pleasure of seeing Supertramp “The Tramp” LIVE 4 times. Their music is pure brilliance from each member of the group. Rick Davies - My Favorite Piano/Keyboard Player. John Helliwell - Favorite Sax player. Roger, Bob and Dougie are all awesome. Their Live shows are spectacular. I only put Pink Floyd (4 times) one place higher for their shows.

Asia you are so perceptive. Yes "Breakfast in America" if you look closely at the "city" behind the waitress you will see salt & pepper shakers, coffee cups, cream & sugar containers, bottles that represent various things you would see on a Diner table, there is also an egg cartoon in there standing on it's edge. It really it a cool graphic. Also, I watched a few of your other videos and Asia you have a really nice singing voice. You got yourself a great catch there BJ.

One of my all-time favorite songs of that era- whenever it pops up on an SXM, channel, I immediately stop and tune in. As for the guitar solo/sound at the end, the amazing Roger Hodgson plays his guitar thru a wah-wah effects pedal to get that signature sound that I can never get enough of. Great reaction video! 👊🏻😎

The instrument your thinking of is called a Digeridoo (I may have misspelled it). This song peaked at 15 on the Billboard Top 100. Roger Hodgson Guitar Solo from Goodbye Stranger is one of the Top 100 Solos of All Time by U Discover Music. Thank you for another Supertramp song reaction Asia and BJ.

I agree with Surlechapeau, you have to hear "Take the long way home, The Logical Song, Give a little bit & Dreamer, :)

Welcome to America is a great record there are great songs for you to react to can’t wait for more SuperTramp

Yes, it was the guitar u two were discussing, and it was the clever use of the Wah-wah pedal that created the effect you were talking about. The Wah-wah pedal is a floor device effect through which the guitar is connected to the amplifier, and when the pedal is in upright position it is the bassiest of tones, and when the pedal is totally depressed it is the trebliest of tones. Stepping up and down frequently creates the Wah-wah type sound.

And yet another fav band from my teen years in the 70s! Luuuv Supertramp!!!

Best song ever about a one night stand, no strings attached! “Goodbye Mary, goodbye Jane. Will we ever meet again?”Supertramp is an awesome group with a ton of awesome songs.

Beautiful song Beautiful reaction! Thanks, love you guys!

I always thought of Supertramp as a bunch of art teachers starting a Rock n Roll band. Mary Jane isn't the only one that noticed that aromatic smell coming from art class. HAHAHA.

Your expressions said it all; this is a "feel good" song for me. Thanks for the video.

The guitar player at the end is none other than Roger Hodgson, one of the of original founders of Supertramp along with Rick Davies who wrote and sang this song. Hodgson' did the background vocals but his guitar solo at the end of the song was rated as one of the 100 all-time greatest rock guitar solos.

It’s a guitar with a little bit of a phaser effect. Isn’t it amazing to think that they played this by hand?

Just some of the best musicians EVER. Stellar guitar outro...

Supertramp one of my all time favs, always layers upon layers in every song, but this is a classic example, well some experts say the song is about the end of a relationship, to me it’s about one night stands possibly with multiple women, others say it’s about giving up marijuana Mary Jane back then was often referred to as pot, but taking into context of the album going to America the 2nd invasion of British music, meeting girls on the road the freedom of one nighters no time for commitment life on the road as a band etc, my take anyway, great great song, no Dideridoo’s Just great musicians Rick Davies on Wurlitzer electric piano and Hammond Organ lead singer and backin vocals Rodger Hodgson on Electric guitar, lead vocals on chorus, backing vocals rest John Heliwell backing vocals and whistling, rare for him not to be on Sax or Clarinet Dougie Thomson on Bass guitar Big Bob on drums.. Just excellent musicians they don’t make ‘em like this anymore..

Immediately transporter to the summer after Freshman year. This whole album WAS hanging with my best friend, my last summer without a formal job or a driver's license. It was going to the beach, being driven around by by BFF's older brother in an old Suburban, my first real date. Great time for music. Classic album. Thanks for the memories.

Loved all the songs on this album also “ Gone Hollywood.” School was a fantastic song too.

You hear this on the radio and you can't help yourself but to sing along to that chorus..."good bye Marie....." I'd love to be a fly in the back seat of Asia's car to hear her belt it out when she thinks nobody is around.

Fantastic group. 🙂

Title track off "Breakfast in America" is also good. They just have a groove.

On all of their albums a special credit was listed for: 'Concert Sound'. Their albums were identical to the way the band sounded in concert. I saw them 'live' four times between 1976 and 1980, and not only were the performances of the songs indistinguishable from their recordings, but Supertramp's members were also highly entertaining, as well. Sadly, when Roger Hodgson left in the early 80's the band's fortunes fell too.

It's funny they mentioned the waitress, plates, and silverware. But did you notice the Statue of Liberty?

Very talented Musicians

I bought Breakfast in America album in 1979 8th grade and wore it out, saw them in concert in the early 8os great band, great reaction.

This channel needs some Grateful Dead on it.. Here's a few songs to check out.. Shakedown Street, Fire On The Mountain and Althea would be a good place to start..

"and some it's just as well" (my favorite line) -so true!

Supretramp. Yessss! The band consisted of a bunch of talented musicians.

'breaky in us' was a huge album, bout 5 single hits of it. creative band n signature sound. 2 songwriters n lead singers

I love her smile. She´s so cute 😘

The song is about a guy in this rock band who's on the road, sleeping with different ladies, and saying it's been nice getting to know you, but I must be moving on! He's an early morning lover! Goodbye Mary! Goodbye Jane! Don't get too attached!

Thanks for playing one of my favorite groups - Try Supertramp "Give a Little Bit" - You'll love it!!

Great song, but I always look forward to the outro, when the guitarist takes off for the stratosphere and beyond. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it ...

Hello from South France *Asia and BJ,* The guitarist uses a pedal wah-wah. 😉 The "wah-wah" effect was first used for the trumpet (since 1920, to be exact); you've already seen a trumpet player using something like a mute which fits tightly into the trumpet's bell, and with his hand, opens and closes the mute to create this strange sound (Mile Davis uses it often, for example), aren't you? The first wah-wah pedal for guitar was created in 1966. Note: With her tray, the waitress is figuring the Statue of Liberty.

That was the brilliant guitar work of co-founder Roger Hodgson. Co-founder Risk Davies was on keyboard and lead vocals. There is the official video that goes with the studio version. IDK but It looks like they built a stage set in the studio to record from live. When you do the Logical Song do the official video. Roger is lead vocals and also on keyboards.
