I know you’re checking out some new bands now Silas. Supertramp was a very successful English prog rock band, with several best-selling albums in the 70’s including Breakfast in America from which this song is taken. Other songs from this album that are excellent are Take The Long Way Home and Goodbye Stranger The entire album is excellent. Also the album Crime of the Century which came out in 1974 and was a best seller

I was listening to Supertramp in high school, starting in 1975 (Crime of the Century, Crisis? What Crisis?, Even In the Quietest Moments, and Breakfast - all great). So I went to see and hear the local concert on their Breakfast In America tour in August 1979. They were terrific. I took snapshots at the concert and still have them... And this was a band with two main songwriters and singers, Roger Hodgson (with the higher voice, guitarist), and Rick Davies (with the lower voice, keyboardist), as well as a drummer (Bob C Benberg), bassist (Dougie Thompson), and a sax and clarinet player (John Helliwell). In concert, during the show all but the drummer played some keyboards, too.

I was also going to suggest the Crime of the Century album. If you liked the sound and emotion of this song, then you will love that album. The song Crime of the Century sometimes make me cry, especially if I’m listening to it by myself in the dark. But my very favorite Supertramp song might be Fool’s Overture, from Even in the Quietest Moments. Somewhat “progressive”, in that it’s a longer song with a more complex structure, and incorporates other sounds like phrases from a speech by Winston Churchill, people cheering, and a bell tolling (“Big Ben” in London?). And the lyrics are a bit mysterious, some say it’s about Churchill, but also sounds a bit religious too. Clearly about history, especially WWII Britain. “The island’s sinking, let’s take to the sky…”

Supertramp are a group of 5: Rick Davies; Roger Hodgson; John Helliwell; Dougie Thompson; and Bob Siebenberg (aka Bob C Benberg).

Ah, there is hope for the youth of today. Breakfast in America is an amazing album.

This actually came out in 1979, but close enough. I suggest you check out School, Even In The Quietest Moments, Fool's Overture, Bloody Well Right, Child Of Vision, Breakfast In America, Take The Long Way Home, Goodbye Stranger, Give A Little Bit, Hide In Your Shell. They have 2 singers who sing on different tracks. This was Roger Hodgson singing this one. Rick Davies is the other singer. Once you are familiar with Supertramp you'll be able to tell who sings what. Great band.

"Dreamer" is the recommended song for the entry level listener of Supertramp. Cheers from the Rock and Roll Past!

Excellent song!

My favorites out of all their great music is #1 The Logical Song, #2 The Long Way Home, & #3 Goodbye Stranger. What I always took from this song was that it was about the loss of childhood innocence. When you are little, the world is new & magical. Everything is full of joy & wonder. But then you start to grow up, go to school where you learn from adults (& other kids) how to look at your world through different eyes. As you continue to mature, you become part of society & are expected to act, think, & say things a certain way. But deep down you are still an independent person with dreams, creative imagination, & opinions that might go "against the grain" of what you were taught and how others think. It's a song of trying to understand yourself & wanting to break free of conformity instead of being "just another brick in the wall" (as Pink Floyd said). The voices are amazing, but that saxophone is on FIRE! Music from the 70's & 80's & a little bit from the 90's is the only thing I listen to.

I love the part where he says, "...digital, I say 1...2...3...5." It's kinda like he's rebelling against the system by saying "5" instead of what is expected of him (being logical and indoctrinated).

Thanks for that info, all these years and I never noticed how he ended that line!

Actually, the album was recorded in 1978 and was released in 1979.

Super Tramp put together some very high quality recordings on par with Steely Dan who we used to test new stereo equipment back in the day! You can’t go wrong with either group but be careful, Steely Dan is a bottomless rabbit hole many like myself have never returned from! Try “ Bloody Well Right “ by Super Tramp.. you won’t be disappointed.

I'm 63 and to see this generation listen to, approve and be amazed by Rodgers's vocals creates a happy moment for me. Don't let cool, easy listening, original music disappear.

"Goodbye Stranger" has a killer guitar solo at the end, and I _KNOW_ how much you love guitar solos, especially good ones, and this is a _very_ good one. 😃

Good choice, Olivia! Supertramp had alot of great songs; Goodbye Stranger, Take the Long Way Home, Give a Little Bit, Dreamer, Bloody Well Right, etc....!

All of Supertramp is excellent. Please introduce yourself to the album "Even in the quietest moments," one of my favorites and every song is killer. Thanks for the wonderful reaction. And get Alivia in more videos, her commentary is valuable.

I love how Silas is really moved by music. Great reaction. If you like the sax then "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty is a must. I would also like it if you would listen to "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart.

Yes there are a lot of options for listening to some great sax. My thought was something that would be easily accessible for someone fairly new to the music world and songs that would help him gain subscribers. The 2 song I suggested would do that IMO and the subsequint suggestions would be excellent to grow towards.

Supertramp used to have 5 members in 1979, when Breakfast in America was all over AM & FM radio. Incredibly good live, too! "The Logical Song" "Goodbye Stranger" "Give a Little Bit" "Cannonball" "The Long Way Home" "Dreamer" "Oh Darling" "Even In the Quietest Moments" "Bloody Well Right" "Breakfast In America" "Brother, Where You Bound?"(with David Gilmour) "Child Of Vision" (more)

Amazing song! Would absolutely recommend Crime of the Century, it's themes are very similar to The Wall and the musicianship is top tier

This song is from a 1979 Supertramp album. One of my favorite, too. I am old and grew up with the best music. I have all the Supertramp albums in original vinyl. Glad to see some young people enjoying them.

Supertramp is awesome. The band consists of Roger Hodgson, Rick Davies, Dougie Thomson, John Helliwell, and Bob Siebenberg at this point in time. After just one studio album after Breakfast in America, one of their main songwriters, Roger Hodgeson, left for a solo career. He wrote most of the hits by the band, including this one, The Logical Song.

I was your age about when this song came out in 1979, I never get tired of hearing it. You can't go wrong with music of the 70's

Supertramp has such a unique sound, and so many great hits ! 🏆

One of my dad's favorite bands and albums. Grew up on Supertramp, and listen to it a lot, especially when I miss my parents.

Supertramp is a fantastic band. It is more than just 3 guys. They actually have 2 lead singers. The one on this song has the unmistakable high pitch voice. You'll know right away when it is the other one singing instead on some other songs. A lot of their songs are structured such that they highlight or bring in different instruments or sounds, one at a time, building through the song, while others drop out. Much like a series of solos as you mentioned in this one. I recommend going with Goodbye Stranger next and eventually, my favorite, the absolutely beautiful song: Give a Little Bit.

Supertramp is one of the best progressive bands ever. You need to listen to the entire "Crime of the Century" and "Even in the Quietest Moments" albums to really appreciate them.

Top list Scifimonkey, I would also add the stunning: Live in Paris

Supertramp is a super group of musicians. Such a wide library of amazing music to choose from.

One thing to keep in mind since you listened to Pink Floyd's The Wall recently: The Logical Song came out the same year (1979) and around the same time as Another Brick In The Wall ('We don't need no education'). It was a trip to be in High School at that time and have these sorts of thoughtful and deeply-sceptical-about-education songs (see also XTC's Making Plans for Nigel) high in the charts and all over the radio. There was a lot of great, purely fun music around that time from, e.g., Chic and Michael Jackson and The Cars and Van Halen, but then there was this other, *equally* popular music that was like a slap in the face (in a good way!).

Child of vision is another brilliant track from the same album

Supertramp has huge, phenomenal band in the mid-1970s and 1980s. I went to a number of their concerts, which , by the way, they sounded even better live. They were top musicians, able to often capture lightning in a bottle with nearly everyone of their songs; many of them masterpieces. Love them. Their songs like Take The long Way Home, Child Of Vision, Dreamer, School, Rudy, Give A Little Bit, all the way to their masterpieces like Fool’s Overture, Brother Where You Bound.

Supertramp. Always quailty in their productions. so many layers of instruments in the mix of their records. Fun with lots of surprises.

The first concert I ever attended was Supertramp. Love them. This is a sad song about the loss of innocence we all experience growing into adulthood.

Great reaction guys,every song that they made was genius. Give a little bit is my favourite I play it on my acoustic guitar to my granddaughter she loves it.

If you liked that and want to hear more Supertramp, check out "Breakfast in America," "The Long Way Home," "Give A Little Bit," and "Even in the Quietest Moments."

Released in 1979 and the singer is Roger Hodgson. I was there, welcome to the seventies. When I first heard this album I looked like you, now I’m 67. Enjoy the song track of my life.

Can you imagine me sitting on the 5the row in the midst, one of the best places, in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, one of the best acoustic music theaters of the world, when i was around 15 and listening to this song live played by Supertramp in their prime years..... Sweet memory......

My favourite song ever!! I´ve been teaching it and discussing it with my students for 40 years! Regards from Argentina.

love me some supertramp & Breakfast in America is a complete gem. Every song on that album is amazing and ther is more than 1 singer & more thans 3 in band / a good cover to cover here....

'goodbye stranger' you're gonna' LOVE' it

You like this. Do the whole album. They are in my top 5 all time bands for sure.

Supertramp were and are HUGE over here in the UK. We love em!

I was 13 when this came out. John Heliwell was the sax player and was responsible for creating to this song such things as: the sax solo, the breathing at the begining of the song, the claps, and other interesting sound effects. He also was the MC at their concerts with his funny sense of humor

This reaction made my day! I love watching the younger gen discover music I’ve listened to most of my life. That was fun!

I was hoping you would get to Supertramp soon. There is deep hole to dive into here.

I've been a fan of Supertramp since the 70's and in my opinion, they are one of the few bands that does not have ONE BAD song. Great composing, great musicianship, just GREAT overall.

My favorite group when they were doing their best albums; I was in high school. They're still my daughter's favorite group and she was born four years after Hodgson left the group.

Guys! great reaction... When the band recorded this album Breakfast In America there were 5 musicians. Rick Davies (vocals and keyboards including clavinet), Roger Hodgson (vocals, keyboards and guitars, acoustic 12-string guitar and vibes), John Helliwell (saxophones, vocals, woodwinds), Bob Siebenberg (drums) and Dougie Thomson (bass).

THIS is music, kids! Glad you’re enjoying it!!! Here, a 74 old friend. ✌️

Wow I love how much you guys appreciate the music I grew up with (1970's was childhood/grade school and 1980's was high school &. young adulthood). I was eleven when this phenomenal album was released. And yes, it was all the adjectives (and his voice) that made me fall in love with this song. SUBSCRIBED! 👍🏻

"Don't Leave Me Now".... Will make you cry.

My first real concert, April 11th,1979 in San Diego. Blew my little mind, it did. Still one of the top 10 concerts I ever saw. Apparently, Roger Hodgson's wife gave birth just hours earlier - out in the parking lot in the tour bus.

Nice reaction you guys! Yes, solos were important at the time because the players were showcasing their individual skills, and almost all popular music at the time featured some sort of solo. This band was great all the way around, lyrically, instrumentally, vocally and production wise. Dig deeper!

Supertramp, the megaband that flies under the radar. Such musical skill and great songs that will stay with you. Please listen to more. Start with the album, The Crime of the Century.

Supertramp - yet another fantastic British band! Go UK.

Supertramp is AMAZING. Try Take the Long Way home and Goodbye Stranger next.

Supertramp, purveyors of sophisto-rock. They had an incredible run.

There are five members in the band. Two main songwriters with different type of vocals. A number of great albums and songs.

It is a forgotten sound, but I adored this song for using the electronic beep near the end from a handheld electronic football game popular then. My brother had it (still has it!) and I recognized the sound the moment I first heard it in 1979. Unless you heard it then, it’s a sound now forgotten.

Awesome song! Awesome band. Reminds me of my youth, when I used to camp with friends. Listen to 'Take The Long Way Home' also. There is a sax/harmonica solo which is simply breathtaking.

1979 I was in 9th grade when this album came out. My school jazz/rock band that I was part of (guitarist), had to play a song from this album and a few other 70's hits for the Christmas assembly. I was nervous because my mother was there and a girl I was totally in love with was also a flutist in the band.

Authough Supertramp we’re fantastically successful and loved in the UK and Europe. They were even more popular in the USA. The American audiences took them to their heart. Some American fans thought they were American as they worked in the USA for a long time, mostly on the west coast. Roger Hodgeson keyboard, guitar. Rick Davies keyboard, John Helliwell Sax.
