Wow, another Supertramp masterpiece, just like School! So much more art to discover from this band...Thanks so much for watching! 🥰

‘Hide in you shell’ from the same album or’Fools Overture’ and ‘Child of Vision’ for more epic-ness also ‘Brother where you bound’ is worth a listen from the post Hodgson era but tbh you can mine anywhere in the catalogue of these guys and come up with gold.

"If Everyone was listening" is the next song after Rudy, another gem. Not only the production and dynamics are amazing, but the way these songs are ordered, you get the feeling that the album is one song (which it is, a beautiful concept album).

One of eight masterpieces from their masterpiece album Crime Of the Century(their best album, Breakfast In America is 2nd). My favorite Supertramp song, I feel it is about me, and for that matter, all of us at one point or another. Who hasn't ever felt they " need time ", or " the whole world's above them ". And who hasn't faced their problems at one time, instead procrastinating( the allusion to leaving the movie at the end). Along with the powerful lyrics, the usual great production/musicianship Supertramp always brings, the call and respond vocals in the 2nd half of the song a great touch.( the high voiced guy was Roger Hodgson, the low voiced guy/main vocalist was Rick Davies) The video of the live version from " Paris " is even better, a video of a train traveling brings a great visual aid to the lyrics

Brandon, you have found the right words to describe how I felt when I first heard this song in 1974, Supertramp took us on an emotional train... and that emotion continues to be present with every listen, even after almost 50 years! I look forward to seeing you discover more of their songs. See you next time in the past.

What a Great tune from the Great Supertramp bro 💫❤️☝️ thanks for the reaction ☝️

THE PRODUCTION VALUE ALONE ON THIS WAS JUST RIGHTEOUS BRANDON! 💯😊

My absolute favourite track from them. The sections at 1.26 and 1.46 take you someplace else.

I love Supertramp they have so many good songs but I never saw reactions the Lord is it mine or Babaji which are so beautiful. Great reaction ❤

I could listen to this fellow talk about is feel for music all day glad you love supertramp this is one of the best tramp albums so much feeling in every song

From the early 70's, I was completely absorbed in the music of Supertramp and Genesis. Very little else got a look in (perhaps Pink Floyd) until Alan Parsons Project arrived some years later. Supertramp songs are very dark and touch on all the social and mental issues we have today. Loneliness, Despair, Depression, Hopelessness and what would now be called Autism feature in the lyrics of the earlier albums (Crime of the Century and Crisis? What Crisis particularly). Brilliantly word-smithed lyrics, a very powerful bass line, stunning piano and great vocals. Timeless.

Man, almost 50 years later, and this song still hits me as hard as ever. Great writing, musicianship, and production.

I saw them around 1977 in Sydney, absolutely sensational, still one of my favorites 46 years later!!

THE KINGS OF MIND MUSIC!!!

I remember buying this in 1976, shortly after I bought my first Supertramp album "Crisis? What Crisis?" Rudy is my favourite track of the three albums that I have of theirs, including "Even in the Quietest Moments". I never went back to their earlier work or moved on to the more commercial work. Thanks for playing this and reacting so well to this marvellous and moving piece of music.

Can tbe wrong Supertramp is always amazing ! Timeless music ! Aband i always had handy when needed ....in my truck ....2 o clock in the morning getting tired....i need to stay awake ....i grab my CD folder open it and take out my medicine that will give me power, wake me up and get to my destination in no time....cuz it s timeless......🤠🥸

This album is masterful from start to finish. They have great pieces of music on other albums too. But this one is their best. Other stand out song from another album: Fool's Overture,

A must have on any playlist. I saw Supertramp Live in 78, another concert that will play in my brain forever. I hate getting old, but I feel so priviledged to have been around to see some of the best rock bands that will ever exist.

Gosh, you sure know how to pick them, Bandon: Rudy is my favourite Supertramp song. I've seen other people react to it, but you're the first who seems to have caught on to this "Rudy" character: a simple, lonesome man who dreams his life away. I don't usually pay much attention to lyrics but those certainly caught my attention - and shot straight to my heart. Thank you for yet another great reaction! 🐝

Greetings from England, can see that you're digging it, it's a cracking piece of music, saw them live in London back in the mid 70's, they still remain the loudest band I've ever heard

The whole album is flawless, really. A real rare gem.

What an amazing song. Saw them do this live in 1983, with some amazing video. Mind blowing. I love the call-and-response between Roger and Rick.

I like" School "better. I think I need to listen to this one more often. 🎹🎹🎸🎷🎶🎶

ALWAYS WAS MY FAVORITE TRACK FROM CRIME!!! 😊LOVE IT BRANDON!👍

Rudy is on of the masterpiece from Cryme of the Century (but also "Hide in your shell" another brilliant tune by Roger Hodgson) , probably written and sung by Rick Davies, Roger Hodgson's voice is appearing in the echoes of the middle train motion, the final chromatic is gorgeous, and a surprise coda in the end of course

I had the opportunity to see them live a few times and the first time was the Crime of the Century Tour back in 75. Montreal was always a welcoming place for Supertramp from day 1. They were as good live as they are in the studio. Great choice of song next you must do Asylum from the same album, heck do the whole album.

I have been fortunate enough to have seen Supertramp “The Tramp” Live 3 times. Their live shows are a spectacle and brilliant. Each member is a musical genius. Rick Davies is my favorite keyboards player and John Helliwell is favorite Sax player. He is a blast to watch live. The bass and drummer are awesome and Roger’s guitars are superb. The only live show I put above Supertramp is Pink Floyd, who I have seen 4 times.

Brandon! You're doing such a great job! I hope your channel grows fast like you deserve. You're well worth listening to. Great stuff, man, keep it up.

Can not get enough SuperTramp!

You want to watch the LIVE version with the awesome Train Ride video. It is a must.

there are 2 lead singers in this song. The higher one u were hearing was Roger Hodgson who is lead in "the logical song" and the lower was Rick Davies , singer of "goodbye stranger"

Another great reaction Brandon. I’ve liked Supertramp for many years, although I never had a chance to see them live. I’ve got a great recommendation for you…. It’s the title track from Supertramps’ 1985 album “Brother Where You Bound”. This was the first album they released after Roger Hodgson left the band. This song is a 16+ minute long masterpiece!! It features guitar solos from no other than Pink Floyds’ own David Gilmour. I just gave it a listen and all I can say is WOW!! I hope you give it some consideration for down the road.

About a year ago, I was watching a documentary on Supertramp when it went from actual documentary to what I believe was 'live' footage from their 'Crime of the CENTURY' TOUR'.

For me, the album Crime of the Century is one the top albums of…. all time… as said before, both Hodgson and Davies shall have said that the album is not a conceptual album…. but for me it us, following Rudy through his life. Starting with School given a small insight of his early life. Then Bloody Well Right were he stands up. Then you have Hide in your Shell and Asylum followed by Dreamer and in Rudy there are talk about loneliness and starting to question life. Ending with If Everyone was listening which is the silent scream for help and then the final song Crime of the Century… this album is a masterpiece throughout

😊

A great reaction, I knew you'd appreciate it. When you mentioned the thing about the left vocals being higher, it's a 'call and return' sung by the two lead writers and vocalists Rick Davies and Roger Hodgeson. N.B. Roger tends to have the higher voice. If you listen to the track 'Crime of the Century', from about the 2 minute mark it becomes just instrumental and they do a really cool thing on the keyboard, they very sneakily progress the number of notes played in a recurring theme and then regressing them back down again as the track draws to a close. It's one of those attention to detail moments from the writers that never fails to bring a smile to my face. Whilst Supertramp had phenominal success with the 'Breakfast in America' album, for me the more proggy treasures are found in 'Crime of the Century' and 'Even in the Quietest Moments' ('Fools Overture' is outstanding) albums.

Yep. Always been my favorite track on the album--possibly my favorite from the band overall. A roller-coaster of emotions! You should give their first (self-titled) album a listen too. It's different, but absolutely brilliant. Oh, and by the way, if you like when non-musical elements are included in a song, you should give Jon Anderson's "The friends of Mr. Cairo" a listen. I think you'll enjoy it ;)

Love Supertramp. So many fabulous songs. My favourite Album, ‘Breakfast In America’. 🎶❤️🎶

Excellent job bro'. Subscribed!

Hi B. One of my faves. Quite some artistry to mimic the train/station sounds as you referenced.

I knew you'd love it, Brandon! One has to be an ogre not to like "Rudy", and you're not an ogre! When I commented about "Rudy" in passing in another video, I said that it was arguably Supertramp's best song (many fans, including me, think so), and definitely their most complex. Now you know what I was talking about. It showcases how far Rick Davies' talent could go, not only as a singer and musician, but also as an arranger and producer. And from the bridge vocals, now you know how high Roger Hodgson's falsetto could go (he goes to almost glass-breaking levels in "Fool's Overture", from "Even in the Quietest Moments", which I consider another masterpiece album). You said you loved the long outro in "Goodbye, Stranger", but when it comes to long Supertramp outros, I think nothing compares to what they did in "Another Man's Woman", a rarely mentioned song from a very underrated album IMO, "Crisis? What Crisis?" (which has one of the best album covers ever!). "Crisis?" was the album they made after "Crime of the Century" and people's expectations had been spoiled by that masterpiece, so "Crisis?" was not well received by the critics and by many fans, but I like it a lot and I think it has many genius moments. I suggest you try "Another Man's Woman" --- the outro puts the one in "Goodbye, Stranger" to shame, and if they had released just the outro as a stand-alone instrumental track, it would stand on its own.

That percussion effect is reversed reverb.. snare clicks were put on to a separate channel then the tape turned over and those clicks fed into a reverb chamber or EMT plate and the effect recorded on to a separate track. Turn the tape back over (as in physically winding to the end and turning the whole spool over) and the reverb fades itself in :-) The instrument you couldn't figure out was a monophonic synth. I suspect a Minimoog (it's used elsewhere on the album), but could have been an ARP Odyssey. When played live, John Helliwell would play that line on clarinet. Voice on the left? Roger Hodgson, the other vocalist in the band, the one who sings School.

I suspect that instrument you can't figure out is a synthesizer rendition of an oboe

This was a concept album so it's best to listen to the whole album that ties the songs together, but still great individual songs.

I doubt you would do a reaction to a 40 minute song but in your private life I'd like to recommend smoking something before bed and turning on Ricochet by Tangerine Dream. I've only seen 1 reaction of this song on KZfaq and I think it changed this guys life.

They understood the culture of the time, please try fools overture

How can people interrupt songs? :(
