Supertramp were a British rock band that experienced massive global success in 1979 with their sixth album Breakfast in America. It's from wiki and nobody revised it
I couldn't agree with you more this is my favorite song by Supertramp the song takes you on a story just incredible lyrics and musicianship Rick songs were always my favorite by Supertramp.. regards from Grand Island New York
At the time this was filmed Supertramp was the best band on the planet all the members were serious musicians and hands down Asylum is my favorite song you just look at RAY singing this song it's phenomenal people. Man do I miss these guys..
Supertramp Live in Paris 1979 is my favourite "live" album it's fantastic such great songs Aslan Made in Dublin comes a close second but yeah the Paris album is a belter..😎
The amazing aspect about this song is that it is the conclusion of the A side of the LP. B sides weren't taken very seriously. A support of strings was introduced at this point as Rick did a masterful job keeping the anticlimactic from happening after Roger's over the top, quite soggy 'cake left out in the rain' "Hide in your Shell."
Roger managing to switch guitars during the outro is insane (I genuinely don’t think it’s edited either. You can hear him briefly stop playing when Rick says “But what kind of friend are you”). Took me several viewings to even notice
Jimmy Cream was keen His brain was always winnin' I can't keep tabs on mine It's really quite a joke I see him down the road I ask if he'd be willing To lend me 15P I'm dying for a smoke Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum I'm just as sane as anyone It's a just a game I play for fun, for fun I told 'em "Look!, I said I'm not the way you're thinkin' Just when I'm down, I'll be the clown I'll play the fool" Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum I'm just as sane as anyone It's a just a game I play for fun, for fun Will he take a sailboat ride? Well he is very likely to Will he feel good inside? Well he ain't very likely to Will he tell you he's alive? Yeah he is always trying to, yeah But nothin', no, no nothin' Does he say, oh no In the morning when the day's begun Hello Good morning, how are you? And in the evening or the noonday sun What a lovely afternoon Well I've been living next to you Bluesy Monday Is the one day that they come here Yeah when they haunt me And they taunt me in my cage I mock 'em all They're feelin' small, yeah they got no answer Yeah they're playin' dumb But I'm just laughing as they rage Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum Well it's only a game I'm playing for fun Yeah I've been trying to fool everyone Will he take a sailboat ride? Well he is very likely to Will he feel good inside? Yeah he ain't ever likely to Will he tell you he's alive? Well he is always trying to, yeah But nothin', no, no nothin' Does he every say, yeah In the morning when the day's begun Do you think it looks like rain? And in the evening or the noonday sun You know I nearly missed my train Well I've been living next to you my friend But what kind of friend are you? Oh, is it the beginning or the sorry end? Will I ever see it through? No I've never been insane Oh what's the game? I believe I'm dying, oh! He's mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad Not quite right (not quite right)
Apparently John mentioned in an interview that they added a few overdubs to the Paris album, which was used as the audio for this DVD, so that's probably why
Actually, I take back my previous statement. I was recently watching another performance from this show and realized it didn’t contain the overdubs that were heard on the Paris LP, which means this clip of John was actually just badly synced-up lol
Rick . lol. Rick Davies: It has been a Supreme pleasure to have been part of his audience for all these years, so many cool memories of the 80s spring to mind while he performs.
The more I watch these performances, the more I think that this was one of the best rock concerts ever.
no doubt after first time
Agree 100%
Great performance. Supertramp one of the best bands ever.
Rick has such an original sounding voice. It took me a while to appreciate it but I love his voice.
My favorite Supertramp song it's a masterpiece Rick knocked it out of the park man I miss these guys they were simply brilliant.....
I think it's really fun to listen to Supertramp!
I agree! Their music is so great. Sometimes I set aside times just to listen and do nothing else but appreciate the music!
What an underrated band. Can’t believe this masterpiece has only 30.000 views…
Just curious we’re you alive when Supertramp was popular?
Cause I was and they were on the FM stations everyday for the better part of a decade.
@@Rock_Snob yeah, there were times after an album dropped where you couldn't get away from them. 😊

unfassbar, es fehlen 10000000
Best show I ever seen
One of the best themes in Supertramp discography, in my opinion, if not the best, with Another men´s woman... Regards from Spain...
I agree with you both written by Rick

the "turn" of the song in time 1:45 is remarkable, with the entrance together of the band. make me chill!
Yes , quite right ! And listen to 2:55 too , when John Helliwell plays with 2 little bells !
Magnificent text of a man who fights against his own madness.
And this cry at the end to give the final blow to this heavy atmosphere.
Masterful!
Rick didn't sing. Like Peter Gabriel, he possessed the gift of melodic narration.
Bob Siebenberg is an awesome drummer
Bob had to be great as Rick as a drummer prior to him was a masterful percussionist himself.
Agreed. He gives great dynamics to every song. Especially in Goodbye Stranger when he kicks off Roger's guitar solo.
he said this song is one of his fav to play
Supertramp Live in Paris 1979 is my favourite "live" album it's fantastic such great songs
Aslan Made in Dublin comes a close second but yeah the Paris album is a belter..😎
This album and "Two For The Show" by Kansas are my favorite live albums.
What a really really really really great band they were 💕
What a lOveLy afternoOOOOONnnn
That hook is transcendent, good god
“Transcendent”…how so…?!?
@@Oh_I_Will First time I heard it my headphones ascended to godhood and busted through my ceiling
Is no one going to talk about the Banana and Gorilla dancing at the end?
That was great! 😆
@@timfool i thought it ruined the emotion of the song
In an article I found it said that the newest member of the road crew had to wear the gorilla suit
What a beautiful song!! From a legendary band!
The amazing aspect about this song is that it is the conclusion of the A side of the LP. B sides weren't taken very seriously. A support of strings was introduced at this point as Rick did a masterful job keeping the anticlimactic from happening after Roger's over the top, quite soggy 'cake left out in the rain' "Hide in your Shell."
Fool on the hill
maybe the most progressive song from this band . Amazing .
I play this every time my boss phones me from work 😂
They have a lot of great songs, but this song is amazing
When he dusts his fingers off to chime the bell. Impressive
Outside of GB, Canada was their biggest fanbase.
Roger managing to switch guitars during the outro is insane (I genuinely don’t think it’s edited either. You can hear him briefly stop playing when Rick says “But what kind of friend are you”). Took me several viewings to even notice
Wie soll man soetwas besser machen?Das hier wird noch in 200 Jahren gehört werden 😊❤
Verdaderos genios musicales. Bravo, bravisimo!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Magnificent!
My fav track fav band take a bow lads superb.
Magnificent Duo And Band !
excelente
brilliant !!
Me asombra el trabajo de Roger hodgsonn en la guitarra
Jimmy Cream was keen
His brain was always winnin'
I can't keep tabs on mine
It's really quite a joke
I see him down the road
I ask if he'd be willing
To lend me 15P
I'm dying for a smoke
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I'm just as sane as anyone
It's a just a game
I play for fun, for fun
I told 'em
"Look!, I said I'm not the way you're thinkin'
Just when I'm down, I'll be the clown
I'll play the fool"
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
I'm just as sane as anyone
It's a just a game
I play for fun, for fun
Will he take a sailboat ride?
Well he is very likely to
Will he feel good inside?
Well he ain't very likely to
Will he tell you he's alive?
Yeah he is always trying to, yeah
But nothin', no, no nothin'
Does he say, oh no
In the morning when the day's begun
Hello Good morning, how are you?
And in the evening or the noonday sun
What a lovely afternoon
Well I've been living next to you
Bluesy Monday
Is the one day that they come here
Yeah when they haunt me
And they taunt me in my cage
I mock 'em all
They're feelin' small, yeah they got no answer
Yeah they're playin' dumb
But I'm just laughing as they rage
Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum
Well it's only a game
I'm playing for fun
Yeah I've been trying to fool everyone
Will he take a sailboat ride?
Well he is very likely to
Will he feel good inside?
Yeah he ain't ever likely to
Will he tell you he's alive?
Well he is always trying to, yeah
But nothin', no, no nothin'
Does he every say, yeah
In the morning when the day's begun
Do you think it looks like rain?
And in the evening or the noonday sun
You know I nearly missed my train
Well I've been living next to you my friend
But what kind of friend are you?
Oh, is it the beginning or the sorry end?
Will I ever see it through?
No I've never been insane
Oh what's the game?
I believe I'm dying, oh!
He's mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad
Not quite right (not quite right)
Wondered how at 3:39 John Helliwell stopped playing the sax but you can still hear it?
Apparently John mentioned in an interview that they added a few overdubs to the Paris album, which was used as the audio for this DVD, so that's probably why
Actually, I take back my previous statement. I was recently watching another performance from this show and realized it didn’t contain the overdubs that were heard on the Paris LP, which means this clip of John was actually just badly synced-up lol
Sensacional
Mike Davies is great

Yes agreed but was he better than Rick Davies
