Supertramp are very underrated. They have 2 different singers with lots of amazing songs. Hope you enjoy getting to know them.
Who are these people underrating Supertramp? List some names.
@@ed.z. Paul Winslow, St. Cloud Minnesota. Eddie Mostain, Seattle Washington. Those are a couple. There are many more to list. o
I think they're rated exactly where they need to be....a good band
...they are an extraordinary act, part of my youth
@@raymo6795 I agree they are extraordinary musicians and songwriters. They weren’t part of my youth. I was too old. The were part of my youthful adulthood.
The Beatle, Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Zombies, Kinks, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Moody Blues, Johnny Winter, Albert King, Freddie King, Steve Winwood, James Brown, Little Richard, Smoky Robinson, were a big part of my youth.
Supertramp were massive in the 70’s & early 80’s in UK / Europe. “Breakfast in America “ was one of those albums that EVERYONE had
Surely one of the greatest 70s/80s bands to come from London. The mix of Hodgeson's extensive rock/pop background and Helliwell's blue/jazz experience makes this band unique. This particular song is Roger Hodgeson's critique of his independent boarding school experience. Next must be The Long Way Home, or perhaps Breakfast in America.
I love Supertramp, and especially this song. It came out when I was a teenager, but I didn't really 'get' it until later in life,
Me too. I took me years to “get it”.
🎉Supertramp is a super group just like Steely Dan. They put-out some of the most sophisticated progressive rock ever made. You can’t go wrong with ANY of their songs…just throw a dart 🎯!!! If you do decide to go down either of these rabbit holes, you have my empathy because there’s no way out. In the end, both groups will be on your list of Top 10 greatest bands of all time. Guaranteed!
I wouldn't classify steely dan a super group. It was Fagen and Becker surrounded by a multitude of quality studio musicians and a few...like skunk baxter that were on various tracks and in other bands at the time. Nothing like the traveling wilburys or damn yankees. Just my opinion. 😊
@@jeffjones6221 You could have mentioned “Asia.” I’m 68 and have over 3,000 albums and I was making a comment to a couple of people who don’t know there ass from a hole in the ground. If I was having a conversation with you it would be markedly different.
@@jeffjones6221 Similarly I wouldn't describe Supertramp as a supergroup.
"Dreamer" is maybe my favorite Supertramp tune. Check that one out soon!
it's a very personal song about Roger Hodgson's experience of being sent away to public school. Their live performances are exceptional.
It wasn't public school. He was sent to boarding school from age 9 to 19.
@@donnakubiski5572 Lost in translation!! In the UK, where Roger is from, 'public' schools are actually the posh, private schools like Eton, Harrow, Charterhouse etc.
Sam YOU NAILED the meaning to this song. Well done, sista 👏👏👏
The studio production on this song is fantastic, highly recommend doing it
I was at the concert in Paris with my brother, I was 16, and it changed my life. What a show and performance, my best concert ever. Sorry for my "frenchglish" 🇨🇵
❤
I personally prefer the studio version of this song. Supertramp is great live, I saw them in Burlington, VT in the late seventies where they featured songs from Crime of the Century, which I consider their best album. This live version of The Logical Song just sounds a bit rushed compared to the studio version, like they just increased the tempo a smidgen. I also prefer the vocals and instrumentation in the studio version. I definitely recommend reacting to it. I would also like to suggest the songs Rudy, Even in the Quietest Moments, and Fool's Overture.
Other than the ending, I prefer this ending to the fade in the studio track
@@michaellockhart554 That's fair, but I'm old and almost every song back in my day faded out at the end, so I'm used to that. The best fade outs are the ones that you often see from both Supertramp and Pink Floyd, where a song fades into the beginning of the next song on the album.
That is the beautiful thing about classic rock no auto tune this is not far off from the studio version 😊
Do the Studio Version!!!!!!!!!
Because they are actually musicians. Not posers with laptops.
The detail and clarity are way far off, but the tone of the song was pretty well done.
Their live performances are fantastic, anything they do in the studio they do live! A unique group no doubt!💖
This is one of my favs! Long Way Home is also amazing.
Buena música
Thanks guys, not heard it Live before. Your viewers have good taste.
They sure do 🫶
Great job.
They're so good, this live version is very close to the studio version.
The amazing thing is how well they recreate all of the offbeat sounds in the live version and how close it is to the studio. Most bands cannot recreate the studio when live.
Super tramp, the greatest band of all time.
I echo your desire to hear studio versions first. This was fun, but not nearly as well mixed or as clear as the studio. Breakfast in America is another great one. Keep’em coming!!
Breakfast In America is another fantastic song just off the top of my head, Supertramp has some great music for sure. ✌️❤️🇨🇦
I always thought " Breakfast in America" was the most upbeat depressing album ever!
Back in the day radio stations would play "perfect album side" or "perfect albums", this albumwould qualify as both. How many these days would qualify?
Que hermosa chica 👧
I love the vibe of this band. thanks for reacting to it.
Hello too both of you, I'm 65 and I first heard this in my car in 1979 😁
Supertramp has always been my number 1 band . I have seen their concert for "Crime of the Century" album. As I mentioned before in previous comments; the songs "Fool's Overture " and also "Ruby" is among the many to listen to.
For a good sax solo, check out 'Hazel O'Connor - Will You (best Sax solo ever by Clare Hirst!)' btw the best ever is probably in Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty, but this one is good.
I'm with you, as I prefer hearing studio before the live version. Love Supertramp!! Keep up the excellent reactions!
Love Supertramp. Glad you're enjoying them, too. For the record, the song was pretty close to the studio version, except the sax was a little more animated.
Love Supertramp and also Roger Hodgson as an solo artist!
Great live performance but I like the studio much better. This song was about Rodger being sent away to boarding school and his insights and experience with that.
For reference, Roger Hodgson who is singing lead and playing the Wurlitzer electric piano on this song is also their lead guitarist. On "Goodbye Stranger" which you reacted to before, he was playing guitar and played the outro which is one of my all time favorites. I also agree with everyone that you should react to studio versions of songs first. But that being said, I do love the Live In Paris performances. I rewatch the videos all the time.
LOVE💗. EVERY WORD & SUPERTRAMP
One of the best Super Groups ever. To see them live was amazing.
She nailed it❤❤
I've loved this song since it came out. One of my all time favs.
As I say "I don't play favorites", this is my fav Supertramp song lol
Studio version for me, but always dig the LIVE, too. Great musicianship!
Nice reaction y'all 🖒🖒
Keep rocking & rolling \m/
This was a great live. I do prefer the live but this was really good 😊
That CD is still played on the road, late at night at home. 73 still love old school Rock.
'Crime of the Century' is one of the greatest albums of all time.
The name is from a book -The Autobiography of a Supertramp' by Welshman, W Davies.
The song is about school.
Supertramp are fantastic, with many classic songs..
Great reaction, Sam and Phil! I agree that some brass (especially sax) sounds great in a rock song. I listened to smooth jazz several years ago and you may want to listen to Boney James, Nelson Rangell, Euge Groove, Dave Koz and others for some great sax music. Not even as a reaction but for your enjoyment.
Supertramp and the song " School " a great arrangement and fantastic song.
like the sax, Steely Dan, Deacon Blues, FM and more.
One thing about the old bands is that live or studio they don't sound all that different. There was no autotune and there was very limited after-effects available. Now, sometimes they would go off on marvelous tangents when live (Dead, Allman Bros, SRV, others known for very long concert ad-libs)
Thank you for taking my suggestion and for doing the live version of this great song! It came out during my senior year in High School! Your idea of reacting to the studio version is a great next step. You'll hear it to be cleaner on the vocal, backing vocals, the saxophone, and also that timely little whistle! You will love it! It's only Logical!😉
Studio version is better but this is close. 'School' or 'Bloody Well Right' next?
The Paris album is my fav supertramp album and im 70 and been listening from the start
At another level. Hooked by this great song at 12 years young.
gd ole st, try lng way home, dreamer, breakfast in america, raing again, hide in ur shel, thought provoking lyrics, n great musicality n composition, enjoy!
Bloody marvellous!!!!!
When I was 12, a little lost (my father died a couple years earlier) and gloomy, my mother insisted "tomorrow, you are going to school and pick and instrument!" "You are going to be in the band". I was moody, went to my room, and cranked my little stereo. Within minutes, the song "Urgent" by Foreigner came on with, the best sax solo ever. I went in the next day, and by the end of the week, I was playing along to the theme of the Pink Panther theme. Now I play sax, trumpet, a little piano, harmonica, bass and guitar. Thank you Foreigner and thank you Mom.
I got caught sneaking into the final Suoertramp show.... Got held underneath the stage the whole concert.... Heard the whole show clear as day.... I think it was somewhere around the beginning of 1984 or end of 1983 if I recall.... Close to 40 years ago.... WOW
They are so good
The saxophonist is from my town.
I prefer studio versions
Breakfast in America LP was their biggest USA release with more pop content, less prog epic songs. Crime of the Century was their HUGE release other countries like Canada, UK, France etc. It's one of the best recorded records in the 70's up there with Beatles Abby Road, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Even in the Quietest Moments is another Supertramp flawless release too. Not a bad song on all three of those releases. Please check out "School" "Rudy"and "Give a Little Bit" and "Asylum" for more epic Supertramp 😊
The musical talent in this group is amazing, not just Roger H and Rick D who are both incredibly talented, but also Anthony Helliwell running around stage playing all kinds of instruments and so great on sax or clarinett. The rhythm section with Bob Siebenberg and Dougie Thompson was also really heavy. These were serious dudes. Musical dope! Please keep on reacting to Supertramp! Try..."Crime of the Century".. "Bloody well right".."School"..."Even in the quietest moments"... Down the rabbit hole you go!
love them so much! bought 2 reissues of Breakfast In America a while back.
Awesome
Anything off the Albums "Crisis What Crisis" or "Crime Of The Century" is brilliant Supertramp....
The original studio version is great I think better than live even though live is good to.
From what i understand he was sent to boarding school as a child and the song is about the resentment he harbored from the social programming of that experience.
Great great band with loads of brilliant tracks.
If it’s sax you want check these two out: 90 In The Shade by Heavy Shift and Morning Dance by Spyra Gyra.
They’ll melt you!
Great band that never really got the respect it was due. Huge talent.
My beautiful brother & sister I was 14 when this came out and I was amazed because it's all true everything is so magical an joyful but then you start school (around 2nd or 3rd grade) & your told what to do and how to act & theirs no Easter Bunny or Santa Claus!!!!!! Js when we're young everything is so beautiful!!!!!!😊
I always add a feeling that band was kinda surreal. The voice of that guy is something else really.
They’re performance of Breakfast in America at this show is also fire!
Dreamer has always been my favourite by them.
You guys need to do their song Breakfast in America. It's a huge sample in a rap song you should know. It's great
The band name "Supertramp" reportedly originated from the book "The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp" by W. H. Davies, which was a favorite of the band's co-founder, Roger Hodgson. The term "supertramp" in the book refers to a person who leads a wandering and unconventional lifestyle, which resonated with the band's free-spirited ethos and their early experiences as struggling musicians.
Supertramp had 2 co-founders and they also were lead singers for their songs. The Logical Song is Roger Hudgson who is the guitar player but in this one he plays keyboard.
Supertramp got the name for their band from a 1908 novel titled " Supertramp " as in Hobo type of person ! You see it throughout the artwork in their albums covers , using mimes and clowns and what not ! I'm a Supertramp fanatic , I have the word "Supertramp" tattooed across my entire collar bone !
The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp by WH Davies - a Welsh poet.😊
You probably don't need to do the album version as this is pretty true to it. I love this live version of it! They were an amazingly talented group of musicians with a wonderful catalog. Enjoy the journey guys.
Please consider starting with the studio version of a song. First, its the way the artist intended it, and second, you dont have any bar to measure how good or bad a live performance is without the original to compare it too. Thanks!
I love when you guys react to the live in Paris from 1979 concert
I'm going to age myself and this song. I was that young man that just turned 18 driving around listening to "Breakfast in America" cassette in my car.
This was a great performance of a great song. The vocals are unique and highly recognizable. The message is universal, and the song has fabulous lyrics. I used to listen to the album a lot, and in my opinion The Logical Song sounds very similar to the recording minus the advantages of a studio. In regards to the saxophone, I will make a few bold statements. The most iconic saxophone riffs in rock music were in the song Baker Street by Jerry Rafferty. The most beautiful sax riffs were in the song It Makes No Difference by The Band, and the most funky riffs were in the song Tobacco Road by Edgar Winter. Lastly I think it was a good choice starting with the live version.
The song with the most 3 or more syllable words in rock history
Supertramp's album Breakfast in America should be in everyone with a music appreciation collection. I've heard they put on a great live show, but I've never been. Please react to my favorite of them is "Take the Long Way Home', you'll dig it.
The studio version is much, much better and is what's played on the radio. I've never heard this version before.
The loss of innocence!
Supertramp made a lot of great music! If you have the chance please do a reaction to Supertramp’s song “School” from 1987. I love the piano work in the instrumental section of the song.
Take the long way home.
Brilliant Lyrics :
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!
Oh take it, take it, take it, yeah
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please (Oh won't you tell me)
Please tell me what we've learned (Can you hear me)
I know it sounds absurd (Oh won't you help me)
Please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
'Cause I was feeling so logical
D-d-d-d-d-d-digital
One, two, three, five
Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah
Ooh it's getting unbelievable, yeah
Damn. look at the big brain on Sam.
Tramp is also a term used for a homeless person. During the depression there were hobos, tramps and bums. hobos worked and traveled. tramps traveled but didn't work and bums didn't travel or work. The hobos would even elect a king.
Gerry Rafferty does more than a couple of awesome tracks incorporating Sax, “Get it right next time” & the one everyone reacts to “Baker Street”.
Both are bangers imo.
A HALLOWEEN MUST SEE/HEAR Classic song & video 🎃👻 The Guess Who - Shakin' All Over" ~ Skelton Dance video..TRUST ME on this one!!
In the 70's, you could go to about any concert and it would be less than 30 dollars. Saw Pink Floyd in the early 80's, 35 dollar ticket.
If you love saxophone you should check out Bruce Springsteen Tenth Avenue Freeze out or Jungleland with the Big man Clarence Clemons.
If you like a saxophone then listen to Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.
Just a bit of trivia the saxophone is believe it or not, not a brass instrument it's classed as a woodwind instrument.
It has a reed in the mouthpiece so even though its normally made of brass it's classed as woodwind.
Phil, you got a cold, brother? Feel better soon.
The original recording has several strange sounds at the end of the song. They are from toys from the singer's childhood.
Thank you!
With Supertramp you want to hear their studio versions first.
There's more instruments in the song
You should do Give A Little bit if you can fimd it live❤
The 70s man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is very close to the studio version and just as good if not better.
😊❤❤ Wow, Phil you really nailed it in my opinion when you said a lot of music from the era is upbeat but the lyrics are deep! I think one of the reasons I like to watch music reactors (you're #1) is because I'm the queen of knowing a song but I have no idea what the name of the song or band is!!! LOL 😅 But music from this era is primarily my teens and early twenties. I put in ear buds, instead of listening on transistor or car radio, suddenly I hear lyrics I never heard before or I was too young to understand! 😅 When I saw the title to this video I was racking my brain to remember it. About 7 notes in I was like, "Oh, I know this song!" LOL Yeah, nah (as Ozzy Man says!) I remembered parts of it, mostly the melody and a male singer, band. I guess my point is, You don't just entertain me/us, I relearn some of the greatest songs from my time! 😅☺️ Phil, Sam, I really love your channel!! 💖 Not just my music, music that's new to me, comedy and I even checked out at least one sports video! 😮 😊❤❤
Thank you Lisa! You always leave us such positive and supportive comments! Amazing we're experiencing these awesome songs together!
