@@Gorgaveli the thing is most of us have paid for these albums many times in many formats! The twats owe us not the other way around!

I have watched various reactors for a couple years now. Some are trained in music theory and spend their time trying to dissect how the song goes from the I chord to the IV chord or major to minor. That’s all good but I really enjoy Miss Verdy’s take without theory cluttering her listening. She hears the sounds, the instruments, the words and sometimes points them out in ways I’d not heard them despite decades of hearing the songs. And you get great comments like the combination of various instruments giving it a great flavor. She proves knowing theory isn’t required to hear the music in an intelligent way. Don’t ever change.

I was 11 years old when this came out. My older brother and I busted our butts cutting grass and doing odd jobs to earn the money to buy the album. Once we did we about wore out the needle on the turntable in the living rooms listening to it. This and Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon defined our childhood.

For me their best album

My sister won a week-end trip to Paris for two back in 1974 and she decided to take me along. Hotel 'Souffran La Tour' (pardon for missing the exact way it should be written). I was only thirteen/fourteen at the time and when we got hungry I was sent to buy something to eat. I entered a 'boulangerie' and asked for 'French bread'. That's what we called the thin, elongated bread back in Flemish Belgium. The woman behind the counter looked at me like I was speaking Chinese. I didn't realise that every bread made in France was 'French bread'. From that day I know that this elongated bread is called 'une baguette'. A la prochaine.

Breakfast in America was their big commercial success… great album. Crime of the Century amazing. Crisis what Crisis great and Even In the Quiets Moments great as well. Hope that you one day go back to the earlier album

Absolute more deeper than the trombone.

They recorded this at Village Recorder in L.A. (it's a former masonic temple) in 1979. Fleetwood Mac was there too during the same time recording their album Tusk!

Such a great album. Play it often. I remember when a high school friend introduced me to this album when it was released, I was 15. We'd go to each other's homes to listen to our new albums.

The "whoosh" sound before the saxophone break in "The Logical Song" is a stage effect whistle, also called a siren. The percussive thing you hear right after is probably a timbale, a Latin-American drum. Also: the digital sound you hear right after he says "Digital" is a recording from a Mattel hand-held football game, from the 70s. The "salt shaker" sound on "Goodbye Stranger" is called a hi-hat, part of the drum set. It's just that on this recording, the treble EQ is so high (from the production and mastering) that the hi-hats indeed sound like salt shakers!

You had an ear to ear grin on your face for this whole video! Only good music that can make you do that.

I cant stop watching... You pick the BEST music (in my humble opinion) to review.

such a great album i have two sealed copies!

The British band made it here with the help of the French. It is a little funny and befitting that you like Supertramp and both your parents have the albums. When the band were trying to break into the North American market it was Quebec / Montreal where it caught on first. The band acknowledged this by starting a few of their later tours in Montreal at the old Forum. Their first time in North America was >>>> April 6, 1975 Centre Sportif de l'Université, Montreal, QC April 7, 1975 Centre Municipal Des Congres, Quebec City, QC

It is lovely to see a young prog rocker enjoying all this great music. Hopefully will review Crime of the Century before too long.

Verdy Great job with your reaction to The band Supertramp and there Album Breakfast IN A AMERICA. I can see were you you get your taste in music it's definitely from your Mom &Dad.

Ur so cute in ur reactions, luv ya Verdy!

"The Logical Song" is Philosophical Taoism put to music. As a child, life is wonderful and magical. Then society tries to explain and pigeonhole everything with labels. Our souls are weighed down by "I know" and assumptions. Then becoming enlightened and seeing "The Way", you again see life is wonderful and magical, but in a different and simpler way.

Verdy I would love to hear your perspective on a seminal album of the 70's, the band Boston's self titled debut album. Until Guns and Roses came out with Appetite for Destruction Boston's album was the best selling debut album of all time. Much like Rumours ( loved your reaction to the album btw) Boston's debut album was a must own in the 70's

Hi Verdy! That sliding whistle sound is made by a...get ready for it... "slide whistle"!

I think that strange sound on the Logical Song is a slide whistle. It has a little rod that you pull out the end as you blow on the other end.

"see the girls in California" was originally "well, if it's raining, well then I'm dreaming"

Good job. We need more people like you in this world.

Le plus connu et le plus commercial... mais d'une qualité exceptionnelle ! Un classique.

From the very beginning, you can hear the tuba. I played Tea for Two, at a halftime show at an American football game.. it was tuba solo. High school stuff. Look it up

Thank you enjoying the journey

You take me back to my youth.

The Album Art and title are very interesting. A rendering of Manhattan with restaurant items. The glass of orange juice denoting the twin towers all while viewed through a plane window. If you reverse the image in the mirror you can see the "U" and "P" form "911" backwards. As I mentioned, the album name points to the time the event took place. If one takes the time to look at all the artwork, you can see the image of planes on the menu the statue of liberty is holding. Too much to be a coincidence.

You have a great channel, here, VERDY, and I really enjoy how you do your reactions!! That you are doing them in English, which I don't think is your first language, is even more impressive! Now that you have started your reaction to the fourth best album by Supertramp, you owe it to yourself and your many fans here to react to their earlier three great LP's, "Crime of the Century", "Crisis? What Crisis?" and "Even In The Quietest Moments"! You are such a great music lover you will absolutely eat all of this great music up!!

Without say I`m old , I have been a fan since the late 70`s and went to their last concert before Roger Hodgson left in 1983. I have the tour poster, T-shirt , tour Book and ticket . It`s good to see young people listening .

Your mannerisms and expressions are like if my wife was more musically fluent/conversational. She feels all of it, just doesn't know how to express it as well. You make me happy, and love my wife even more. Thank you!

Goodbye Stranger the Highlight of the Album 🎶

I never look behind me my troubles will be few! Off of Goodbye Stranger. Greatest line in music history! The motto I live by!

There has been a few times I heard more recent music from a group and then went back to explore their older stuff, but in general I try to go in chronological order so I can experience the evolution of their sound. Jethro Tull is a great example of a fun chronological journey since they started out with a strong Blues influence before finding more of their own unique sound...and basically kept changing in sometimes obvious, sometimes subtle ways. From their ironically titled first album "This Was" through all of their 70's offerings, there is one gem after another. For Supertramp, Breakfast in America is still a great album but I feel it is slightly more Pop and radio friendly than their earlier Prog classics. I highly recommend going the chronological route for many of the Prog bands (though I will say some of the earliest Pink Floyd does not really appeal to me). If/when you do Alan Parson's Project, please start with their first (and in my opinion best) album "Tales of Mystery and Imagination". As always, love your reactions! Thanks!

Harmonies are fun. Its cool to enjoy them.

Very unique sound by Supertramp.

This album gave me the will to explore what I was deep inside me : a young free bird 🙂

Side Two is a treat waiting for you: "Take the Long Way Home" is another great track... and "Lord is it Mine" is a favourite deeper cut. And yes, John Helliwell is a great sax (and clarinet!) player. You should also hear some of their earlier albums - "Crime of the Century" is a classic (also best handled a side at a time), and "Crisis? What Crisis?" is very good. The Logical Song's lyrics extend the themes in Crime of the Century's song "School".

Really enjoying your reactions! Love your album choices btw.

Greetings from Mexico u have good taste for music.

The thing that is being banged at the end of the Logical Song is a cow bell.

First date with my GF. August 17, 1975. Supertramp concert. Place des Nations Ile Notre Dame. They played Crime of the Century and a few songs from Crisis? What Crisis? Breakfast in America was still in the future. We married 3 years later - 44th anniversary last week. What a ride we've had, with Supertramp playing a part. Roger Hodgson still tours near us every November and we've seen him a dozen times. Catch his next tour if you can.

I call this my desert island album. I love it so freaking much!!!!!!

I am not sure if you’ve heard of this band before but the band name is the scorpions. They have a song called send me an angel in my opinion this is the song that you would really like, also I highly recommend checking out Metallica

I was away at boarding school when Breakfast In America was released in 1979. The lyrics to ‘The Logical Song’ are especially poignant for me. The title song, ‘Breakfast In America’ is my favourite Supertramp song too! The low pitched brass instruments are both a tuba and trombone. 📯 Everyone used to tease me because at the time, I had a steady girlfriend ― they were so jealous! I eventually went on to meet and marry the woman of my dreams. And finally, it sounded like you said: ‘This is BIRDY channel 🐤 and it’s Brickfest In America.’ 🧱🍽☕🌄

This is what i call music !

If you ever don't know, what the whistle (shown by your hand gesture) - it's a thing like a pipe you can blow in BUT it has a mechanism in it. A little pin IN this pipe to pull by your hand. And when you blow AND pull it gives this tone... (Sorry for this miserable explanation - I'm from Germany) :o)

I think there’s a tuba in there too. These guys have such a unique sound…like a blend of Pink Floyd and Elton John with ~ Rush’s singer and some of the most unexpected-but-wonderful sax runs mixed in there. Really interesting…they come very close to sounding cold at times, like clinical, detached, but never step over that line and keep warm.

Hello Beautiful Verdy!! Was very fun hanging out with you and fun listening and watching your reactions. Super Tramp is one of my all time favorite bands!! Three of the Men, Rick Davies, Roger Hodgson and John Helliwell all play multiple instruments. Rick plays piano, organ and harmonica. Roger plays piano and all the guitar parts. John plays Sax, Clarinet, trombone and does fill in with organ/synth and back up vocals. Roger sings most of the songs with a high voice. Rick sings the lower growling vocals. The Bass player is world class, and a very good American drummer. Roger Hodgson still tours today. He has a good live from 2007 in France with a full orchestra. Check it out Verdy. Thanks for sharing. Much Love, Light and blessings to you from Michigan usa.

Very great album you have here Verdy my favorite to be honest. The cover art is great it’s not a city look closer.

Looks like you know the words. I don't blame you! Great Album!

Saw these guys in the mid 70s and although very good live I couldn't stop thinking to myself , "these guys must be pissed at whoever booked this show. They should never have a band like Status Quo open for a band like Supertramp again...ever!"

Think Rogers done touring for good. God I got to see him 4times

SuperVerdy !!

The whistle is a siren whistle. The sax player plays that along with a lot of other instruments

Enjoying your channel. Genuine, open minded, and fun. When you are ready for something a little jazzier and funky, I recommend Steely Dan. Would start with the album Aja. Another 70s classic.

A little clue about the names of musical instruments in English: A great number of the words for musical instruments come directly from French. :)

I remember Take the Long Way on the raido then. Progressive Rock reminiscent of Genisis. I an giving them a 2nd listen after so many years now. Live your reviews.

Le top c'est " Child of Vision" et " Gone Hollywood" !! 🙂

I could be wrong but I think that unique sound may be a Penny Whistle.
