No doubt! Once that funky wah-wah solo kicks in, I almost wanna cry.

The man/band himself is/are criminally underrated

Fading that guitar solo out just when he really ratchets it up and gives it hell is an unforgivable musical sin!

@@droog28 Cry on!

Same could be said for Gone Hollywood...opening track on this album

Absolutely, I mentioned that on another site,and remembering how xxxcelent it used to sound on my car stereo in high school!

It's a very good album by their very high standards, but I must differ. Crime of the Century had more depth.

Yep.Exceptional mixing and mastering...GREAT DYNAMICS and Range in the recording. Still stands the test of time...no problem.

All of Supertramp’s albums were well produced and balanced but I have to agree, this was a production for the ages no doubt!

As well produced as it is, it's not their best album though. Crime and Quietest Moments are their best.....BIA is good but not a patch on the two aforementioned albums. I would add that the Brother Where You Bound album is actually, IMO, their best produced album. Superb SQ!

❤❤❤

I'm not old but I'm grumpy and I agree

I'm not old but I can be grumpy at times especially with the negativity in our society we have in the world nowadays I don't smile or laugh most of time like I used to be but listening to music always give me a smile onto my face sometimes :)

This. Just realizing that there's a real, open, ready to try great music young man out there truly helps me. and great sense of humor and i know the music is always top notch

Live your life that runs out so fast. Please live! Enjoy every moment in armony with yourself and who you love. Perhaps love is the only way in which life will seem not too fast. I wish all the best.

It's just a damn good album. I love every track. "Just Another Nervous Wreck" is my favorite, but dammit, every song on it deserves a listen or twenty. They hit the nail on the head and put the hammer straight through the wood.

@@josephschultz3301 I cannot say which is my favorite, because every song I hear off it is my favorite, until the next song.

Check out steely dans aja. He went over it and it's amazing.

@@private151 for sure! I still have my LP i bought the day it was released. Its rare as well !

@@josephschultz3301 agree with every word, cheers.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The best I found, it is like a 20 min interview and then a concert kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adSCd8WanKqWop8.html

They're a great band with a unique sound

Best gig I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot.. I still get chills thinking about it

@@TellaSignTV Never saw them but wished I did. Bet they were amazing

I'd like to open a discussion as to why Supertramp, Foreigner, Styx and Bad Company are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

especially the live in paris version, it's a KILLER

He should also check out Fools Overture

Have you been listening to Alex and Andy

Even us country boy stoners were digging it.

RAY, you are Bloody well Right! Lol

Agree, Are generation had the best music ever....Baby Boomer?

So, so true! I’m with you 1000%!!😊😊😉

I’m 62, 63 at end of year!

@@susanfontaine5214 I am the front of 60....

@@susanfontaine5214 54. I was a concert junkie starting with AC/DC Back in Black Tour. I have seen most of the bands he reacts to in concert.

Maureen B Nah they were massive

Kristina Winter To the most musically savvy of us, yes

One of the best lines ever written 🤣🤣 And yeah, Supertramp was huge here in Canada!

jeannie jane I agree. I was 16 when this came out and my girlfriend and I listened to this album endlessly, plus all the other great music of the time.

Fortunately, with KZfaq, that great music can be shared.

i always say the same thing But now we are fucked..real talk

My Junior year of high school too; agree with your sentiments.

Same here my Junior year in school. Always thought this was band was underrated. Lot of good songs on this album.

The 1900's was an ancient and irreplaceable time that can't be replaced 21st century has nothing on it in comparison

"Libby" also had a small role in a 70s B movie called The Car". The things I learn by watching Svengoolie.

When I think of best outros, this and Journey's "Be Good to Yourself" are the first two that always pop in my head. Just pure perfection!

I love the end instrumental.

@@DivaInTheWoods Same band, but I'd go with Stone in Love's outtro, just hits you right in the soul.

PrestigeWorldwide I love the look on Jamels face when the light goes on.

PrestigeWorldwide Great game lol! I also think you have a great name!

@@willmoney34 The First Word in Entertainment.

I like that. 💜👍

My favourite acoustic guitar song

Eben Guyette one of my favorite tunes by Supertramp!

@Arzola not sure. Everyone i know, knows Supertramp. But I was about 16 when Supertramp were at their peak.

Especially done Acoustically. Outstanding song.

Also The Logical Song.

Quite right!!!

Yes!

Definitely

Laaaaammmmeeeeeee

Yes! I love it.

The guitar at the end reminds me of driving fast on a road or highway

Oh yeah! Best part!

Classic riff from a classic band

Two more Supertramp songs with long guitar solo/outros: " Lover Boy, and " Waiting So Long. All written by Rick Davies, who, ironically, DOESN'T play guitar

I agree… I’ll be 34 this year, and I remember listening to this entire album with my dad. I love Supertramp

33 here, so we're about the same age. I remember digging through my dad's records and having no idea what I was looking at or for. Probably just picked the album cover and tossed it on the record player. Breakfast in America was one I also had on repeat. This one and anything by CSNY (or CSN, or CN, or S or Y alone or, etc, you know).

I 2nd this one...my mom always liked that song and wanted it played at her funeral. It was a sweet moment as we laid that needle down and it jammed.

But do you remember the cover by Doctor and the Medics? lol

Just heard it this afternoon on Sirius XM - great groove - agree Also - need to check out Fire - Crazy World of Arthur Brown ( 1968 ). Was shocking at the time and it’s a super cool one hit wonder. Was #1 in the U.K. and Canada , reached #2 in America ( Hey Jude held #1 ).

Kentucky Headhunters covered Spirit In The Sky . Worth a watch .

A nice Jewish boy in love with Jesus... :P

I second that. Up there with some of the best songs ever written.

The whole album is a masterpiece

Love hide in your shell.

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I did what I had to do to never meet them. I don't regret that.

I know too many people who met them and are complete losers from the experience and too wasted to know it. No thank you.

RacingGuy61 and I know people who met them and are successful and fulfilled and all that. What’s your point? Also I feel that we have a very different definition of what a loser is, but whatever

We have a date tonight! I'm going to get lucky.

I was just about to say the same thing!

Toby's going away.

I always felt like Steve Carell was trying so hard not to laugh during that part 😂

awful !

Great Album. Still have it on vinyl. Love it.

Hey, don't you look at my girlfriend...

Mike K She’s the only one I got!

@@Lisa-pb3qp not much of a girlfriend...

James Morgan Now I remember...I never seem to get a lot! 😯😄

Yes!! I love that part of the episode. 😂

Goodbye Toby! Great reference and a fantastic performance by Steve Carell.

LOL, no doubt!

Yes!!

Beatles' Oh Darling...? Nah, try Why Don't Ee Do It in the Road? first... That's like a precursor to Oh! Darling. Paul was just rocking da F out of those two rock gems.

But did you notice also that the skyscrapers are mugs, butter packets and eggs? And the docks are knives and forks?

Also 11 above the towers,the juice is fire.Think the inside of the album you get 9.11

@@ashyclaret Please stop spreading this stupid conspiracy theory. "They" did *not* plant hints of the 9/11 attacks in the cover art of an album from 1979. Where the hell do people get these crazy ideas?

You just noticed that? Man, I realized it about a week after I bought the LP! :-)

Better late than never, I guess...😬

Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane. Gives it away if you are adept to it.

Times are changing on that front

Do you know the history how they formed. A millionaire Dutch man paid to have the band formed.

Right. Not too many people know that it's about that.

@@steveburns9870 I read that in a Michael Caine voice. Or is that a whoosh?

That’s deep. Multiple meanings to the phrase “hit it and quit it” in this song.

It's my understanding that this song was about the band's choice to quit using marijuana.

Good bye Mary Good bye Jane could be , good bye to Mary mother of Jesus (Jane). He does say “ because say the devil is my savior...4:29

My favorite supertramp song!

I understand Child Of Vision to also reflect this, or at least some of the tension between Roger and Rick.

@@timmmahhhh I so love child of vision. That would be a great song for a reaction

....:Casual Conversations: is Ricks Goodbye to Roger and 'Child of Vision' Rogers Goodbye to Rick.

That one is my fav

Smoke from a Distant Fire for sure! 👏👏👏

How long- Ace

Upvote for Stills!

Great picks 👍

Oooo BRANDY ..... A MOST EXCELLENT STORY TELLING SONG.

Oh wow, yes. Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane, duh, where have I been?

God, can't believe I never made the connection...

Really? Well if true, I was *this* many days old when I learned that. It's literally been decades since I first heard this song, and I had no idea. 😄

@@aerynsunx I spoke to my sister about it right after I read this comment, haha. She says she's read something about it being a coincidence, but eh... They were doing other stuff back then!

How am I almost 51 & just learned of this 😱😱😱

Toby must be moving on!!

Yeah. The image they use for this song of the waitress holding the orange juice was on the album cover. :)

I Can See For Miles

And for one chord... "Space for the Papa" by Jeff Beck.

Yass!! All Journey! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLqbe6mCqJnbn6s.html

Another fantastic British band that had to find success in America before they finally got appreciated in the U.K. 🤔🤩

@@skinheadjon901 Crime of the Century was a bigger hit in the UK than the USA. Top 10 in UK ,top 40 in US in 1974.

Same

I've been requesting All over the World too...best ELO

I was requesting that one like crazy. LOOOVVVEEE "Can't Get it Out of My Head."

Very Beatlesque.

I meant to add that the waitress woman holding the orange juice on the cover of "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp, Kate Murtagh, is still alive at age 95 (pictured as "Libby").
