These guys deserve to be in the Rock in Roll hall of fame

That saxophone always catches first time listeners off guard lol

Supertramp could do NO wrong in the 70's. So many amazing songs.

If ever an album demanded a full album listen... It's Crime of the Century by Supertramp. Not a bad moment from the second you press play

The whole Breakfast in America album is amazing! Goodbye Stranger is the next track on the album. Recommend!

‘Take The Long Way Home’ … you’ll love it.

So glad you guys are finally doing some Supertramp......Such a gifted, versatile, and under appreciated band IMO. You could literally pick 15-20 of their songs and they would leave you blown away. The harmonica in "Take The Long Way Home", is mesmerizing to me. Thanks so much guys, hope you enjoy this band and get to more of their great stuff in the coming months.

Finally, my favourite band of all time. The Logical Song and Goodbye Stranger are the two most played songs from the album but there is not a bad song on the LP. You need to hit ANY song from their four consecutive classic albums between 1974-79: Crime of the Century (my favourite album by anyone ever), Crisis? What Crisis?, Even in the Quietest Moments and Breakfast In America (their most successful commercially). The next LP, Famous Last Words (1982) is also a great album. Please, please guys react to a lot more Supertramp. The ultimate anti-education system song by them is School, the lead tune from Crime of the Century. It has such a haunting harmonica intro. Supertamp uses a lot of saxophone, harmonica and even occasional clarinet but they are most known for the electric piano playing of lead singers/somgwriters Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson. Their overall musicianship is among the best of any group but their lyrics are often serious with great social commentary. Get on the 'Tramp train boys.

the sax is so f ing killer... can't overstate it

That whole album is amazing! Not one weak song. *The cover is iconic.

This album was extremely rare in that it was flawless. Set aside the time one day and listen to it straight through. Its more than worth it. Good reaction.

Coincidentally, they have a song called “School” which was a popular FM song you can still hear on classic rock stations.

This was my first song explained and translated into spanish in the eighties...

"You hear the phone ringing?" Actually, that wasn't a phone. It was a Mattel Electronics Football game, which was a first generation handheld game that was very popular at the time. The tone that was in the song was the tone you get when you fail to get a first down on 4th down and have turned the ball over to the opponent.

Again, this is the music of my generation. I’d forgotten what a well written, arranged and executed piece this was? Thanks for the memories! ☮️💕 I love your guys’ energy. You’re going to change the world!

Supertramp were definately huge! They were played on the radio for ages in a row. As a matter of fact, they still play them big time on the radio in Canada. They have so much to say in their songs.

John Helliwell is a monster.

The Logical Song is a movie for the mind if you close your eyes and listen to the journey each instrument takes you on.

Roger Hodgson is one of the coolest guys on earth; I met him years ago and let me tell you, this dude knows how to give hugs! Very, very friendly and nice.

I have been whistling to that sax for about 35 years and I'll probably whistle to it till the day I die

Supertramp is Master Piece 😊 I do remember the first time I heard in the 70ths and I'm still love than 😊

Next recommended Supertramp song: “Bloody Well Right” The piano solo intro is so sick that you’ll be replaying it in your heads the rest of the day.

More Supertramp. This whole album is gold.

When I was a kid, this was a huge hit here in the USA. And yes, very quotable.

Supertramp. One of the best bands ever. What great concerts

John Helliwell is such a boss on this track. The way he does that clap, looks around and across to Roger ‘Jesus’ Hodgson, effortlessly collects the sax and takes centerstage for the solo. 70’s swag! In addition to Supertramp being such a cool band name, they were just so full of talent with so many instruments here: the alto sax, Wurlitzer electronic piano, electric guitar, 12-string acoustic guitar, bass, Elka and Oberheim synthesisers, acoustic piano, Hammond organ, Hohner Clavinet with wah-wah, siren whistle, drums, castanets, timbales, cowbell, and woodblocks!

He’s trying to find himself after boarding school stripped him of his individuality. He no longer recognizes himself any more. “I know it sounds obsurd. Please tell me who I am”.

Such a great and underrated band. Goodbye Stranger is my favorite, but you can’t go wrong with them.

The youngs guys descovering the best music from the past. The best musics.

The Logical Song was a double single with "Goodbye Stranger" off of the same album. Both big hits. You guys will love Goodbye Stranger, it has IMO the greatest outro guitar solo in rock history.

@ 8:47 that digital versus and sound is actually from an NFL game boy style box of the day, the sound engineer was playing during the rehearsal and they added that because they loved the sound, this predates cell phones btw. These guys were masters of sounds.

Wow John Helliwell was excellent on the Saxophone.

Take the long way home is a great hit!

This whole album was amazing. We Canadians know a good thing when we hear it..lol.

This album cover is iconic & timeless. The song was a game-changer. Glad you listened to this masterpiece and liked it.

"Lady". "Gone Hollywood." "Goodbye, Stranger" "Take the Long Way Home." These guys have lots of great stuff.

This song, and the whole album, was huge in Canada. I was in grade 9 or 10 when it came out, and everybody was singing it. Never had a song moved me before

I've known Supertramp since they have came out. I've had their albums. This is the first vid I've seen of them. Thanks.

The Crime of a Century. A must Surertramp album to react. Thank you for this beautiful once again reaction.

So much Supertamp to hear and EVERY SONG on most of their albums are straight up FIRE! Pic any song off “BREAKFAST”, can’t go wrong!

Every song is a masterpiece ❤️

The "phone" sound was actually Coleco Football, a handheld game that was huge at the time.

These guys can easily produce the sound effects for a movie with no problem. All I can say is... nostalgia, what a beautiful song!!

Queen....Pink floyd....Led zep.....Supertramp...ELO....Beatles....RATM....SOAD....the Eels...Collective soul....Cypress hill Skull and Bones, the Bones disc is an absolute treasure

Goodbye Stranger is a masterpiece, what a band

Omg… my favorite song of all time! It takes me back to my childhood every time I hear it! You guys are going to love it!

The lyrics are about childhood wonderment, innocence and imagination lost as you get older and need to be more logical, responsible etc.

I remember this song being number 1 here in Canada when it was released!

Love your reaction!! The meaning of the song isn’t really just digging at the school system - it’s about our social system. You grow up and everything is innocent then they throw you into school you must comply. Then you get out of school and you must watch what you say or they will throw you in jail or a psych ward and medicate you hence the vetchtable lyric !! It’s amazing analogy

This is my favorite album of all time. Every song is perfect. Not a single bad one. And the album cover is my favorite too, don’t you dare say it’s “dated.” It’s creative and artistic. 😭🤣

They played great live.

Soundtrack of my teenage years. I was lucky...

Growing up in the 70s, those timeless memorable songs never leave you👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That wasn't a phone, that was the first handheld video game, it made that sound when the quarterback squiggle throws an incompleted pass, or got tackled.

Just watching him cheese when the saxophone comes out. Killer

I have been fortunate enough to have seen Supertramp “The Tramp” Live 4 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.

This song was huge! I was 2 years into junior college living with roommates/workmates. Very thought provoking song at the time!

Yes, I remember people singing this in middle school.

It is a great song and that saxophone is just a banger!

The Breakfast in America tour in 1979 - one of the best concerts I ever went to.

I’ve got to be honest; I never gave this group a chance because of their name. It’s stupid. I’m glad I’ve finally started listening to them. They are so fantastic. So many good songs. This particular album is amazing from beginning to end.

Supertramp equals creative genius.

Good job guys. Supertramp is an all-time favorite. Especially early Supertramp. Too many great songs to list but a few are Crime of the Century, School, Fools Overture. Peace.

The song's about Roger Hodgson going off to boarding school for ten years in his youth and being educated-- the converging of childhood innocence through the transition of becoming a responsible, "logical," yet cynical young adult.

You Guys must react to these other's super songs from them : "Take the long way home", "Goodbye Stranger", "It's Raining Again", "Breakfast in America", "Dreamer", "Blowing that Right", "Give a Little Bit", "Don't leave me now", "School" & "Crime of the Century"

Favorite Supertramp piece

11 in 79. Love these guys.

Follow up with Goodbye Stranger. The keyboard in that gives you chills down the spine and goosebumps all over. They had a run of 4 albums that are untouchable. You KNOW what they are. They were called the UK’s answer to Steely Dan,I cannot disagree.

I have never seen Ryan smile so much during a song as this one. I forgot what a great song it is. Thanks for reviewing!

when played the way i like it , the sax always chokes me up especially heaaring this song again

More Supertramp please.

Don't know what effect they had on school kids since I was out and, in the military, when this came out, but it made me want to learn to play the sax. Always loved all of their stuff. My favorite from them is "Take the long way home".

Supertramp was, indeed, very big in Canada

Supertramp is like another "Toto" to me. Try "Goodbye Stranger" 👍🏼

My favorite song is Goodbye Stranger.

The radio stations played this all the time and I loved it so much!!! Still do. 🤘❤️

One word. SMOOTH

Yes when I was in high school i kept hearing this song not knowing who? But i liked it, it came on in the background at the school store where i was hangin, asked who is this, and 3 hot girls there immediately said the "Logical Song" and thats how I discovered the band.. Burned into my brain...

One of the best bands and a huge part of my high school senior year growing up in the USA!

Excellent song! Take The Long Way Home, etc..... I love the saxophone in this song, it makes the song! I also love the clacking sounds not sure of what type of instrument.

All album covers are dated (or of their time) but you should actually examine the full sized one on vinyl. This one won a Grammy for designers Mike Doud and Mick Heggerty. (BTW who did the skyline in your background ?) The statue of liberty is depicted by a waitress and the Manhattan skyline is made up of breakfast condiments and menus, the piers by knifes and forks. Rejecting an all American girl they chose Libby from the "Ugly Models" agency. The rear cover shows the band at a breakfast diner and they are all reading newspapers from their hometowns. The LP labels are also interesting as they depict the waitress shown from the front (A side) and the rear (B side). Uniquely the inside of the sleeve is finished in orange, probably the first album to have such a coloured feature hidden from normal view. In this promo John Anthony Heliwell is sat at a Table with an umbrella as featured on the album cover for "Crisis? What crisis ?" (1975) and the unused grand piano is a reference to their previous album "Even in the quietest moments" (1977)

Saw them live touring this album in 1979…..yes, they were that epic live!

They have so many good songs. Check out Goodbye Stranger next, has one of the coolest guitar solos ever

Oh fantastic song!

This was on the radio all the time back then. Supertramp was quite popular. Loved your reactions!!

I LOVE SUPER TRAMP HELL YES IM NEW HERE I LOVE THEM THANK YOU

I watched a video on YT where Roger Hodgson explains the meaning behind this song. In a nutshell, the boarding schools in England at the time were popping out individuals who went in as hopeful, sensitive and imaginitive children and because of the treatment and indoctrination they received there, they came out as cynical, angry and unemotional people. The song was a protest against that educational system. Rick Davies disagreed with Hodgson and wrote a song addressing Hodgson's outspokenness called Bloody Well Right.

I saw these guys in concert and they played every song just like the albums!! I love that cuz I can sing along!

Back in the day...it was all about the radio. You KNEW it was a Supertramp song the second it came on. Then...you ran to Sam Goody's or Tower records to buy what you just heard. Every one of my friends had the album 'Breakfast in America'. Thanks for the reaction!

At 8:45 that double-ringing sound comes from a Mattel Electronic Football game, which was (in retrospect) a forerunner of all the handheld video games that are around today. The football game was incredibly popular at the time this song was recorded.

Love this song!

Definetly one of most seriously underrated bands. One of my favourite bands of all time.

More More the album of supertramp

LoL You guys makes me feel old, until I realize these songs are 40+ years old. 😩😩 : three claps :

I was sent away as a child. This song makes me cry 😢❤

The drummer is using traditional grip with the left hand which came out of the jazz tradition going back to drummer boys during the Civil War who used it when Snare drums were slung at a 45 degree angle. Most rock guys don’t use it, but a few of my favorites do use it in rock. Steve Smith of Journey totally came out of a jazz background, Stewart Copeland of the Police and Neil Peart who actually changed from matched to traditional grip late in his career after working with a jazz teacher in order to revamp his technique. There are a lot of others, but on the whole most rock guys use matched grip of which there are many variations, but that’s a whole other conversation lol.

All I can say is....Brilliant...Fantastic..!!!

Empathy is not illogical, but rather, illogical is the man completely removed from empathy.

This is a great version of a studio song “performed” by the band. It looks real, but the band is “singing” a mastered studio version. 😁❤️
