This is the song that got me hooked on Supertramp when it first cane out before I started work at 16. I'm now retired and still feel like a kid whenever I hear any Supertramp song.
Was given a free ticket to see this new band called Supertramp, in Birmingham (England) in the late 1970's. I think "Dreamer" was the only song they had released and (me being a die-hard Bowie, Elton John, Motown, ELO, Reggae, 10cc, Stevie Wonder and Led Zep aficionado) I hadn't paid them or this song they had released too much attention (there was just SO MUCH other good stuff going on, at the time). It's awkward watching a live band when you don't know ANY of its work but they entertained me enough. When this song came on, at least I had SOME recognition and their performance of it (being still quite fresh, even to them) was sublime. They WENT FOR IT BIG STYLE and carried us all away to a place which could have easily featured Tangerine Trees and Marshmallow Skies along with plenty of Good Vibrations. I became an instant fan. You should review "Too Much, Too Young" by The Specials (just sayin').
Jay and Amber, might I politely suggest that when you pause the music (I know its necessary to break up the music to adhere to copyright issues). you back up just a few seconds before your restart the music. Sometimes you are missing some really beautiful build ups to pay off that are not as affective without the build up. Backing up a few seconds lets that build reset and then you can get the full effect. This song is a great example. the whole song builds and builds and builds. Anyway, Love that you're listening to Supertramp. More of this and Steely Dan please. Have you done Supertramp's Bloody Well Right, Give a Little Bit, Crime of the Century, School... track after track are gems.
I totally agree with this request. Having to interrupt a song means you interrupt the song flow. Going back a few seconds can help recapture some of what was lost.
They started to do it cause people asked and then they stopped. I think this is important… some reactors even go back and fort a few time cause they love a part
Yes, please! I'm always watching them and you know what is coming and you see them lean to pause and you're like Noooooo, not yet, 😂. Of course they don't know what is coming, true. Simple fix, "Be kind, please rewind". Ooof, did I just date myself with that reference, haha!
Amber's face when she was lost in the music is the best type of music reaction and speaks volumes about the power of the song (no picture of Supertramp on the wall?)
To me Supertramp is THE most underrated band of the 70s. They do have a large, devoted following, but they are up there with the greats...Beatles, Elton John, Rush, Pink Floyd, Genesis and Yes...speaking of... MORE YES, please!
Funny, I remember some of their songs back in the 70s when I was a kid but listening to them again over 40 years later, I mean, wow, how good were they !
"It's Raining Again" by Supertramp has a nursery rhyme in it! (It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring...) It was No. 1 in France, but only made it to 11 in U.S.
So, when my 27 year old son was in 4th grade, he came home from school and told us that his teacher’s friend visited their class and played some songs for them. The guy’s name was Roger Hodgson and he was in some famous group called Supertramp... All I could say was “Wut?”
My favorite Supertramp song! I love the driving energy of the keys, and then the ethereal floaty middle 8. Just a fabulous song! Thanks so much for doing this.
I saw Supertramp in '75 as a 15 yr old in Niagara Falls, NY. They were on tour for this album Crime Of The Century, they were great. They have a great catalog. You outta check out Even In The Quietest Moments. The big song at that time was Bloody Well Right, you oughta check it out too.
I'm a year younger...I saw Supertramp a couple times...first in 1979 a couple days before my birthday in April...in Seattle. Then again in 83 I think. Amazing. They sound just as clear and beautiful live as studio. One of kind sound and band. Genius I believe Amber was about to say...it applies to this group!
@Mike Hudson My brother and his friend (an autograph hound) followed the limo of the Everly brothers seeking an autograph from them after their Oakland concert in the mid 1980s. They drove alongside and his friend hung halfway out the car window waving a pen and pad of paper, screaming "You guys are awesome!" and the like. The limo pulled over, they pulled in behind and the driver came back and asked for the pen and paper, he took it to the limo and in a minute came back with 2 autographs. Doesn't end there. They continued towards the San Francisco-Oakland bay bridge, and the limo pulled up to the toll booth ahead of them. When it was their turn the booth attendant said "Go ahead, They paid your toll for you". The friggin Everly Brothers paid their bridge toll! Too cool. RIP to both artists today.
I saw them live in Canada on their Breakfast tour (my first concert). A dvd of a performance in Paris on that same tour is available. My kids have grown up with me forcing them (I’m a good Dad) to listen to all of my music so they know Supertramp very well. When we watch the dvd, I had total dejavu but my sons’s first reaction was ‘oh my god, what a lame stage show dad’. which is true… even has some cheapo computer animation in there. And then two minutes in he said, ‘they sound just like the records! how do they do that.’. And i told him that back in the 70s musicians could actually play their instruments and had real talent. Times have changed i know but man when it comes to music (and some other things) I really mss then70s
This was Supertramp's very first hit single (in the UK) in 1974, though it did hit the US chart in 1980 as a live version. Can't believe you've already done six of their songs! If you want to run out the rest of their ten charted US hits, you can do "It's Raining Again", "My Kind of Lady", and "Cannonball". "Crazy" and "Don't Leave Me Now" are also great tunes.
It was the early spring of 1975 when it was a UK hit,and you're right it was their first. I got well into it then even though I thought it was mocking someone for being a dreamer,something which had kind of happened to me at school. I was 10 and avidly into Dr Who. Jon Pertwee had very recently regenerated into Tom Baker.
J & Amber, their "Breakfast In America"and "It's Raining Again" are next for you!!! On "Dreamer" : Roger Hodgson - Wurlitzer electronic piano, lead vocal; Rick Davies - Wurlitzer electronic piano, Hammond organ, lead vocal; John Helliwell - celeste, glass harp, backing vocals; Bob Siebenberg - drums, percussion; Dougie Thomson - bass guitar.
I will be honest you all, when I went to see Roger Hodgson in concert, this song was so relaxing for me it almost put me to sleep.... It is just awesome!!
So glad to see you guys hearing "Dreamer." It's definitely a spacy kaleidoscope of sound! The rhythmic keyboard (an electric piano) playing throughout, is a whirling dervish of funky accents and inspired harmony, for sure. Some more Supertramp songs: "Breakfast In America" "Child Of Vision" "Oh Darling" "It's Raining Again"
I am 53 years old. the first album I bought was Crime of the Century when I was eleven. Then Breakfast in america, Even in the Quietest Moments, and all the others. Since then I have been a fan of rock, hard rock, new wave, jazz, funk, classical, French songs, and many other things. Tastes pass but my love for supertramp never faded. And despite all these years, I still discover new details with each listen. Supertramp is part of my worldview. I would certainly not be the same if I had not known this music.
Fools Overture and Even in the Quietest Moments are two HAVE TO DO's! Lord is It Mine, Bloody Well Right and It's Raining Again are great as well. Aaannnnd when Roger Hodgson did a solo album after Supertramp's demise, he did a song called "Had a Dream (Sleeping With the Enemy)"...which just screams classic Supertramp. That song is amazing.
Supertramp is amazing. One of my favorites. Great songs and brilliant musicians "Take The Long Way Home" "Fool´s Overture" and the best, for me: "Hide in Your Shell"
You can't go wrong with Supertramp! Hide in Your Shell is another great, deep song of theirs. Even in the Quietest Moments is another good one. So many great ones!
Supertramp is one of those bands that I enjoy introducing to young co-workers every chance I get! Their jaws usually drop and get pulled into that sound!
I saw Supertramp back in the day and they are one of the few bands I've heard that could reproduce the studio sound live. It was the Crime of the Century tour, and it was phenomenal.
This album was THE soundtrack of my summer of 1979! The summer before I was a senior in high school. Every time I hear one of the songs, it takes me back! Great time, great band! I'm so glad you've taken the time to listen and appreciate the very special sound of Supertramp!!
I mean come on guys we lived thorugh the best era in music hands down. you two NEVER run out of good music to react to. We had GREAT new stuff coming out EVERY WEEK. It was a great time to be a live.
His vocals starting at about 4:15 brings this old man to tears at the memory of how beautiful i thought it was when it first came out and still find it beautiful!
One of their best songs I think. Bluesy, jazzy and rockin. "Bloody well right" should be next. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Another great 70's song but I still can't believe you haven't reacted to "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart. It was an absolute anthem of The Seventies. It could be heard from every convertable, every College dormitory, backyard bar-b-que, beach radio. It will take you on a mysterious journey which by the time you get to the end, you'll wonder how you got there! This one's a must to add to your list!
Ya know, I was introduced to this song, as many of us were, with the live PARIS album. It got some radio play and was a hit. The live Paris album was very well done! Great reaction, thanks!!!!
Yes, absolutely. It’s so difficult to get across how major and radical some events were, like new music genres appearing, but the introduction of stereo and the inventiveness of some artists in making use of it was revolutionary !
There are actually two keyboardists playing, as well as singing in this group. If you can catch their performance on BBC you can see them performing Dreamer in a live performance. Very original compositions.
I appreciate that you get so inspired by this and so cool to see younger people enjoying the same songs we did when we grew up in the 70’s. Big ❤ to all music lovers!
I said it before: that whole album, where every song is a gem: "Crime Of The Century". All the songs are connected in a way. It's a bit comparable with "Dark Side OIf The Moon" thematically. Growing up issues and madness.
I'm not familiar with every track on there but what you are describing is called a concept album. Where every track is part of a story and need to listen to the whole thing. This was album oriented rock. Where there were singles but recognized as part of a bigger project. It's kind of a lost art.
@@lethiapage4767 I know. I said it in the past, but some Supertramp fans called it nonsense. I stongly believe it's a concept album. The title alone says it all.
@@stevedotwood You might convince me to give this a listen. I think, like with ev else in art, there is the artists intention and then there is the listener's experience. The album and the track order etc are the context for each song even if it's not a single story all laced together (proper concept album). It's part of how the artist wanted the music presented so to me that validates album listening. I have a few other albums that I enjoy listening to all at once: Bruce Springsteen western stars Counting crows August and everything after REM automatic for the people Kansas leftoverture Styx paradise theater Queen a night at the opera Madonna like a prayer
This album is produced by Ken Scott who was working earlier with The Beatles. They played in Stockholm, Sweden 3 months before the release of this masterpiece album, BUT: You should listening on the first track "School" and im sure your reaction, especially becuse you like piano, but the song "Scholl" has SO MUCH in it.
I SO REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS TUNE WAY BACK IN '74 ON MY HEADPHONES. ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVE TUNES FOR SURE. GREAT TO SEE SOMEONE REACT TO IT THE FIRST TIME. CHECK OUT RUDY, SCHOOL, HIDE IN YOUR SHELL AND CRIME OF THE CENTURY OF THE SAME ALBUM-ONE OF THE GREATEST FOR SURE.
The title song from "Crime of the Century" is a favorite of mine for the lyrics and the music. I was fortunate enough to be a young teen when Supertramp came on the scene. Good times.
First song i ever heard by them. Roger Hodgsons voice is amazing and his solo stuff is more Supertramp than the bands output after he left. Had a dream is an amazing track
Amber, you don't know how happy you make me when you say that Supetramp and ELO are among your favourite groups to react to because they are my two favourites ever. Supertramp can get very rockin' and deep and dark lyrically especially on this album, Crime of the Century. Dreamer is the outlier thematically. Guys, the lead song on the LP is School, with my favourite harmonica intro ever, so haunting, and a real dig at the class structure and teaching establishment in Britain. Then the next song has one of the best-ever keyboard solos to begin a song, Bloody Well Right; these are two of their most popular tunes period. The entire album is special with Hide in Your Shell so touching. Even now it gets me emotional, almost 50 years later; those who grew up as a shy or timid kid will totally relate to it. Jimmy Cream is sad, about a suicidal person but still a great song. Rudy and Crime of the Century on Side 2 are also classics. That's just Crime of the Century. You still have their next 4 albums to get into as well. Lucky you two. I get more excited than usual to watch your reactions to groups like Supertramp and ELO. What about The Beatles though and Yes?
This is my favorite song by Supertramp. I had the live version of it on 45 when I was a kid , and played the thing until i wore it out. I was in middle school so it was long ago. I'm now 55. Thanks for reacting y'all.
From the same album you have to listen to 'Rudy' and title track 'Crime of the century' and finally 'School' all off the same album from 1974..!!!!!! Anyway you asked for suggestions 😃 those are mine.
The live version in Paris 1979 is amazing, like other in this same gig: "Fool's Overture", "Rudy", "The Logical Song", "Child of Vision", "Bloody Well Right"...
@@ljsites saw them live outdoors in Ottawa at the football stadium. It was packed and when they played Rudy with the train video…simply amazing, blew everyone away! A totally awesome concert!!!!
Great reaction! Supertramp was a power group known for their big hits, but the deep cuts on their albums are complete genius and underrated in so many popularity lists!
Listening to this song (and many, many more) while witnessing your reactions really is a joy. I know this one for nearly 50 years now and most of the times I hear it it goes by me, mostly nearly unnoticed. It has become common ground, so to speak. This is the reason and value of reaction videos for me. They open up 'old' music and make me appreciate the art again. Thanks ♥️
Roger Hodgson wrote this, and most of the Supertramp songs. He plays piano, keyboards, and guitar. He truly is a musical genius! I suggest you find some of his liver performances around the 2000 time frame. You will see just how amazing he is. His voice then, 25-30 years after the original songs aired, is even better!
"Band on the Run" is the 1st Wings song i put in my library "As we fell into the sun. The 1st one said to the 2nd one there 'I hope you're having fun'"
Child of Vision has to be one of Supertramp's greatest songs, the last 5 mins being one of instrumental ecstasy....loving the channel keep up the good work 😊
I love how you two are massively enthusiastic about hearing the music I grew up listening to and loving. Supertramp is one of the forgotten great bands from the 70s. I say forgotten because they are not really covered by other artists. The Goo Goo Dolls cover of "Give a Little Bit" is the only one I know of. Might I suggest a twofer for you from the same album. The first two tracks, "School" and "Bloody Well Right", are separate songs that don't have a silent break between them so they play on the album as one. When I listen to them I have to hear them together. I know you will love these as well. Cheers!
I am enjoying your reactions to the music that I grew up with. Supertramp was a gem that honestly needs to be rediscovered again! Crime of the Century is another awesome song! The musicianship of these older bands is amazing and I really miss this quality in modern groups.
The keyboard is a Wurlitzer electric piano, a Supertramp trademark. as always, superior production/musicianship. One of eight masterpieces from their best album
I absolutely ❤ your reactions guys! Ambers comment how the song sounds like a nursery rhyme is exactly how I reacted the first time hearing this great classic tune in 1974-75! I was only 8 years old but quickly became a big Supertramp fan! Thank you both for creating so much good content and love your opinions on much of the Rock classics you guys are covering.
One thing I always loved about Supertramp in the 70's is I could listen to the entire 8 track cassette and not have a bad song. They maybe don't have any blockbuster songs but the whole of their music is up there with almost any bands. I am 61 now and workout almost everyday and after my cardio where I watch youtube and movies while working out when I start lifting I listen to Supertramp or Styx random music and always get a good 15 to 30 minutes of lifting in. Breakfast in America is one of my favorite albums of all time.
I really enjoy watching you guys react to Supertramp. And I'm very happy to see you get it when it comes to Supertramp. You are scratching the surface with the songs you have already heard. The next song, Rudy, would be my recommendation. This song will literally take you for a ride. Just watch them play Rudy in the Live in Paris concert. Every song on the album Crime of the Century is worth a listen. The entire album is about being trapped. Everyone recommends School, Bloody Well Right and others, but the song Asylum is a gem because the song builds up to the point that you can feel and hear the utter desperation at the end. I've seen them in concert three time, 1975, 77 and 79. I have multiple concert DVDs so I can keep experiencing them in concert 47 years later. It's their ability to play music so well on stage that gets me. They are one of my all time favorite bands. All of the songs recommended by others are great choices too. The song Even in the Quietest Moments is a great song for me because of how Roger goes off on what seems like singing randomly close to the end. It's like you say Amber. They are musical, theatrical, use classical instruments, their lyrics make you think, and their vocals are clear and understandable.
The only predicable thing about a Supertramp song is its going to be bloody good! Just love how they mix their songs.
Right. Ya bloody well right.
Speaking of bloody good... Bloody Well Right should be their next Supertramp reaction song. Sorry, too easy of a set up on that.
@@cwalokie9559 Already done it.
@@AzimovTube sorry, sometimes I'm a little slow.
You're bloody well right. (Lol see what i did there.)
This is the song that got me hooked on Supertramp when it first cane out before I started work at 16. I'm now retired and still feel like a kid whenever I hear any Supertramp song.
This is a cute song.
"School" is great.
"Even in the Quietest Moments" is simply beautiful.
School, great song
"Even in the Quietest Moment" is the best!
Omg I just discovered it about a year ago. Incredible song
Was given a free ticket to see this new band called Supertramp, in Birmingham (England) in the late 1970's.

They WENT FOR IT BIG STYLE and carried us all away to a place which could have easily featured Tangerine Trees and Marshmallow Skies along with plenty of Good Vibrations.
I became an instant fan.
You should review "Too Much, Too Young" by The Specials (just sayin').
Jay and Amber, might I politely suggest that when you pause the music (I know its necessary to break up the music to adhere to copyright issues). you back up just a few seconds before your restart the music. Sometimes you are missing some really beautiful build ups to pay off that are not as affective without the build up.

Agree 100%
They started to do it cause people asked and then they stopped. I think this is important… some reactors even go back and fort a few time cause they love a part
They pause some of these songs at the worst times! But it's not their fault, they don't know the song so they don't have a clue, I get it.
Yes, please! I'm always watching them and you know what is coming and you see them lean to pause and you're like Noooooo, not yet, 😂. Of course they don't know what is coming, true. Simple fix, "Be kind, please rewind". Ooof, did I just date myself with that reference, haha!

To me Supertramp is THE most underrated band of the 70s. They do have a large, devoted following, but they are up there with the greats...Beatles, Elton John, Rush, Pink Floyd, Genesis and Yes...speaking of... MORE YES, please!
I agree 100% they are so underrated that they are the only 1 out of those groups NOT in the rock and roll hall of fame
Yes, definitely ... and I would include, of course ... THE MOODY BLUES !
Funny, I remember some of their songs back in the 70s when I was a kid but listening to them again over 40 years later, I mean, wow, how good were they !
Totally agree, a 100%, have always thought the same, a vastly underrated & brilliantly clever band, up there with 10`cc.
70s music is TIMLESS HERES PROOF
"It's Raining Again" by Supertramp has a nursery rhyme in it! (It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring...) It was No. 1 in France, but only made it to 11 in U.S.
It's also in Jose Feliciano's "Listen to the Pouring Rain"!
This period was truly a golden age for music.
What tv commercial hAS this 70s blast of a song
The "sound" of Supertramp is quite unique! It has a transcendental quality!😊
So, when my 27 year old son was in 4th grade, he came home from school and told us that his teacher’s friend visited their class and played some songs for them. The guy’s name was Roger Hodgson and he was in some famous group called Supertramp...
All I could say was “Wut?”
Hopefully he finishes high school before he's eligible for the pension.
At least you were still able to speak at all! 🤣
😳😃
Whoa!!
I'd be a bit worried if my son was still only in the fourth grade at the age of 27 !
Goodbye Stranger is a must listen with a killer guitar solo at the end.
They already listened to that - ua-cam.com/video/tG3TYRglAw0/v-deo.html
Yes amazing track but then again this is Supertramp
Agreed. Amazing guitar solo
My favorite Supertramp song! I love the driving energy of the keys, and then the ethereal floaty middle 8. Just a fabulous song! Thanks so much for doing this.
One of the Greatest Bands representing musical talent and harmonious perfection!!!
Always, brings back sweet memories.

Not a single but “Child of Vision” is just superb, the piano solo at the end is just brilliant 🤩
One of the best closing songs on an album ever.
@@kevinmcfarlane2752 agreed
pure magic!
My favorite Supertramp song!
@@ronaldlambert85 I think it is mine too… but don’t tell the others 😄
Supertramp. You just can’t explain them. From track to track it’s one brilliant production after another. And the vocals.
These guys have so many fantastic songs you have to listen to as many as possible
Hide In Your Shell, Fool's Overture, and Don't Leave Me Now are also great songs. Definitely should give them a listen.
You just named 3 of my all-time favourites from my favourite all-time group, just ahead of ELO.
Fool's Overture is a brilliant creation!
Yes, Fool's Overture is one of my all-time favorites! It might be a bit long for this channel, but worth it!
J & Amber, their "Breakfast In America"and "It's Raining Again" are next for you!!!
On "Dreamer" :
Roger Hodgson - Wurlitzer electronic piano, lead vocal; Rick Davies - Wurlitzer electronic piano, Hammond organ, lead vocal; John Helliwell - celeste, glass harp, backing vocals; Bob Siebenberg - drums, percussion; Dougie Thomson - bass guitar.
Both are excellent choices, they should also check out, " Goodbye Stranger"
@@karlsmith2570 they've reacted to "Goodbye Stranger" and now 5 others. My two favorites are "Goodbye Stranger" and "Logical Song".
Just listen to "Paris". One of the better live albums.
@@surlechapeau they'd already reacted to "Goodbye Stranger"???

@@paulrosebush9137 agree, I saw a Roger do that live on his own years ago.
I love them this was in the '70s
Supertramp is one of those bands that I enjoy introducing to young co-workers every chance I get! Their jaws usually drop and get pulled into that sound!
It's been a hot minute since I have heard this one. It was a fun little song. I remember the line : Far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!
One of the very first Supertramp songs I heard. Great song from a great band.
"School" is still my favorite Supertramp song. What a great sound!

Super Tramp. I've listened to them since about '74. Still and always phenomenal.
This album was THE soundtrack of my summer of 1979! The summer before I was a senior in high school. Every time I hear one of the songs, it takes me back! Great time, great band! I'm so glad you've taken the time to listen and appreciate the very special sound of Supertramp!!
SAME! 😁❤👍👏
This was their breakthrough single, Roger Hodgson's voice so glorious
I second all the requests for Bloody Well Right - this whole album is so amazing!
I mean come on guys we lived thorugh the best era in music hands down. you two NEVER run out of good music to react to. We had GREAT new stuff coming out EVERY WEEK. It was a great time to be a live.
I was hoping you would do this song. Definitely one of my favorite Super Tramp songs. This band has always had their own unique sound.
His vocals starting at about 4:15 brings this old man to tears at the memory of how beautiful i thought it was when it first came out and still find it beautiful!
One of their best songs I think. Bluesy, jazzy and rockin. "Bloody well right" should be next. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦 🇨🇦

And Platters of Bacon and Bannock
@@lifewuzonceezr Sounds like a party. ✌️👍🇨🇦
You guys have got to do “School” and “Bloody Well Right” off the same album “Crime of the Century.” Supertramp pumped out great music. So good!🔥🤙
They've done "Bloody Well Right."
One huge gem they have that is not so well known is "Rudy". The jam at the end is noteworthy. ua-cam.com/video/oc6uUlfyf5E/v-deo.html
every song on this LP is A+++
I'll add my voice to the many requests for "School". Epic song with great piano!
"Crime of the Century". What a great album and CD of course. I have both cuz you can't play the album on your car😉
Back in the day, everyone seemed to have the album this song is on and you could hear it everywhere.
I love this song. It always makes me smile because it's such a fun song, and the musicianship is fantastic as it always is with them.
Another great 70's song but I still can't believe you haven't reacted to "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart. It was an absolute anthem of The Seventies. It could be heard from every convertable, every College dormitory, backyard bar-b-que, beach radio. It will take you on a mysterious journey which by the time you get to the end, you'll wonder how you got there! This one's a must to add to your list!
He year of the cat and time passages. And Christopher Cross while you are at it! Think of Laura. Sailing. Ride like the wind.
Love Al Stewart
Here it it....LIVE: ua-cam.com/video/tqW4xIr7nj0/v-deo.html
Takes me back to 1977 every time! 👍
Yes, yes, yes!!!! I've suggested "Year Of The Cat" to them many times. Come on guys. What are you waiting for?
Saw Supertramp live in London 1982. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.
Ya know, I was introduced to this song, as many of us were, with the live PARIS album. It got some radio play and was a hit. The live Paris album was very well done! Great reaction, thanks!!!!
The whole "Crime of the century " album is a Sonic delight besides being a classic album
Stereo is a technology taken for granted these days. But it caused a sensation when it became widely available.
Yes, absolutely. It’s so difficult to get across how major and radical some events were, like new music genres appearing, but the introduction of stereo and the inventiveness of some artists in making use of it was revolutionary !
@@richardlovell4713 absolutely
DREAMER IS IN commercial today And its from way back in 1974 Amber its 70s lol
There are actually two keyboardists playing, as well as singing in this group. If you can catch their performance on BBC you can see them performing Dreamer in a live performance. Very original compositions.
This was one of my favorite songs growing up.
I appreciate that you get so inspired by this and so cool to see younger people enjoying the same songs we did when we grew up in the 70’s. Big ❤ to all music lovers!
I said it before: that whole album, where every song is a gem: "Crime Of The Century". All the songs are connected in a way. It's a bit comparable with "Dark Side OIf The Moon" thematically. Growing up issues and madness.
I'm not familiar with every track on there but what you are describing is called a concept album. Where every track is part of a story and need to listen to the whole thing. This was album oriented rock. Where there were singles but recognized as part of a bigger project. It's kind of a lost art.
@@lethiapage4767 I know. I said it in the past, but some Supertramp fans called it nonsense. I stongly believe it's a concept album. The title alone says it all.
Top 3 Album all-time for me
@@stevedotwood You might convince me to give this a listen. I think, like with ev else in art, there is the artists intention and then there is the listener's experience. The album and the track order etc are the context for each song even if it's not a single story all laced together (proper concept album). It's part of how the artist wanted the music presented so to me that validates album listening.
I have a few other albums that I enjoy listening to all at once:
Bruce Springsteen western stars
Counting crows August and everything after
REM automatic for the people
Kansas leftoverture
Styx paradise theater
Queen a night at the opera
Madonna like a prayer
This album is produced by Ken Scott who was working earlier with The Beatles. They played in Stockholm, Sweden 3 months before the release of this masterpiece album, BUT: You should listening on the first track "School" and im sure your reaction, especially becuse you like piano, but the song "Scholl" has SO MUCH in it.
I SO REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS TUNE WAY BACK IN '74 ON MY HEADPHONES. ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVE TUNES FOR SURE. GREAT TO SEE SOMEONE REACT TO IT THE FIRST TIME. CHECK OUT RUDY, SCHOOL, HIDE IN YOUR SHELL AND CRIME OF THE CENTURY OF THE SAME ALBUM-ONE OF THE GREATEST FOR SURE.
The title song from "Crime of the Century" is a favorite of mine for the lyrics and the music. I was fortunate enough to be a young teen when Supertramp came on the scene. Good times.
"Fools overture" studio version, is their masterpiece song., and "Rudy" was their other masterpiece.
“Asylum” is a great one you know guys! From the same album: “Crime of the Century”. In this album all songs are amazing!!! Thanks
COTC is 50 years old this year.
First song i ever heard by them. Roger Hodgsons voice is amazing and his solo stuff is more Supertramp than the bands output after he left.
Had a dream is an amazing track
"It's Raining Again." Amber will just love those distinctive Supertramp horns x
Uplifting + Positivity + Beautiful + Feel Good Groove = Katrina & The Waves "Walking On Sunshine" (Official Music Video A MUST!!)
Amber, you don't know how happy you make me when you say that Supetramp and ELO are among your favourite groups to react to because they are my two favourites ever. Supertramp can get very rockin' and deep and dark lyrically especially on this album, Crime of the Century. Dreamer is the outlier thematically. Guys, the lead song on the LP is School, with my favourite harmonica intro ever, so haunting, and a real dig at the class structure and teaching establishment in Britain. Then the next song has one of the best-ever keyboard solos to begin a song, Bloody Well Right; these are two of their most popular tunes period. The entire album is special with Hide in Your Shell so touching. Even now it gets me emotional, almost 50 years later; those who grew up as a shy or timid kid will totally relate to it. Jimmy Cream is sad, about a suicidal person but still a great song. Rudy and Crime of the Century on Side 2 are also classics. That's just Crime of the Century. You still have their next 4 albums to get into as well. Lucky you two. I get more excited than usual to watch your reactions to groups like Supertramp and ELO. What about The Beatles though and Yes?
This is my favorite song by Supertramp. I had the live version of it on 45 when I was a kid , and played the thing until i wore it out. I was in middle school so it was long ago. I'm now 55. Thanks for reacting y'all.
One of the few bands who can replicate their studio albums in a live setting
From the same album you have to listen to 'Rudy' and title track 'Crime of the century' and finally 'School' all off the same album from 1974..!!!!!!
Anyway you asked for suggestions 😃 those are mine.
The live version in Paris 1979 is amazing, like other in this same gig: "Fool's Overture", "Rudy", "The Logical Song", "Child of Vision", "Bloody Well Right"...
I Love Child of Vision!! XooX
Why is nobody mentioning “Rudy”!?!? It’s an amazing song with great tempo changes! Just superb.
Rudy is next on the album; Dreamer, part two if you think about it. And, it is the best song on the album. Maybe the best Supertramp song of all.
@@Habichiwoowoo A great song indeed, though had so many greats is hard to choose one, for me anyway.🤩
@@Habichiwoowoo , saw Supertamp live. Rudy blew everyone away, audience was in awe, at the end we exploded!
I understand the train station part (Paddington Station) more after actually being there and riding through some of the stops announced.
@@ljsites saw them live outdoors in Ottawa at the football stadium. It was packed and when they played Rudy with the train video…simply amazing, blew everyone away! A totally awesome concert!!!!
Saw them live in the 80's, one of best concerts I've ever seen. Sound the same live as they do recorded.
"Year of the Cat" is really a perfect song. It couldn't have been done better.
Remembering being on the lake with my mom. She's been gone now 8 years, but this and Elton John always bring me back to those days.
Supertramp awesome what can I say great band
Great reaction! Supertramp was a power group known for their big hits, but the deep cuts on their albums are complete genius and underrated in so many popularity lists!
Listening to this song (and many, many more) while witnessing your reactions really is a joy. I know this one for nearly 50 years now and most of the times I hear it it goes by me, mostly nearly unnoticed. It has become common ground, so to speak. This is the reason and value of reaction videos for me. They open up 'old' music and make me appreciate the art again. Thanks ♥️
Supertramp was such a breath of fresh air with their creativity.
Supertramp is on my top list too . Just Genius Songwriting and arranging and studio production is in a class by itself with a few others .
I am on a nostalgic ride with Supertramp and you two lovely people! It is awesome! 😁😍
Roger Hodgson wrote this, and most of the Supertramp songs. He plays piano, keyboards, and guitar. He truly is a musical genius! I suggest you find some of his liver performances around the 2000 time frame. You will see just how amazing he is. His voice then, 25-30 years after the original songs aired, is even better!
"Band on the Run" is the 1st Wings song i put in my library "As we fell
into the sun. The 1st one said to the 2nd one there 'I hope you're
having fun'"
When the first harmonic "Ohhh Nooo" comes on, and the Legit surprise/jolt looks on their faces. Pretty cool.
Awesome band. I went to see them in concert a few years back and the crowd sang about the first 2 mins of this song. It was so good!
Child of Vision has to be one of Supertramp's greatest songs, the last 5 mins being one of instrumental ecstasy....loving the channel keep up the good work 😊
I love how you two are massively enthusiastic about hearing the music I grew up listening to and loving. Supertramp is one of the forgotten great bands from the 70s. I say forgotten because they are not really covered by other artists. The Goo Goo Dolls cover of "Give a Little Bit" is the only one I know of. Might I suggest a twofer for you from the same album. The first two tracks, "School" and "Bloody Well Right", are separate songs that don't have a silent break between them so they play on the album as one. When I listen to them I have to hear them together. I know you will love these as well. Cheers!
I am enjoying your reactions to the music that I grew up with. Supertramp was a gem that honestly needs to be rediscovered again! Crime of the Century is another awesome song! The musicianship of these older bands is amazing and I really miss this quality in modern groups.
I just love the bliss in Amber's face while enjoying the music. Lovable!
Amber "gets" it. I can see it when I watch her while she listens. It's beautiful.
"Rosie" off the "Indelibly Stamped" album.
The keyboard is a Wurlitzer electric piano, a Supertramp trademark. as always, superior production/musicianship. One of eight masterpieces from their best album
I had a Wurlitzer EP 200.....
There's an organ or synthesiser in there as well, doing little accents and fills.
I absolutely ❤ your reactions guys! Ambers comment how the song sounds like a nursery rhyme is exactly how I reacted the first time hearing this great classic tune in 1974-75! I was only 8 years old but quickly became a big Supertramp fan! Thank you both for creating so much good content and love your opinions on much of the Rock classics you guys are covering.
Love this one from Super Tramp and Bloody Well Right
One thing I always loved about Supertramp in the 70's is I could listen to the entire 8 track cassette and not have a bad song. They maybe don't have any blockbuster songs but the whole of their music is up there with almost any bands. I am 61 now and workout almost everyday and after my cardio where I watch youtube and movies while working out when I start lifting I listen to Supertramp or Styx random music and always get a good 15 to 30 minutes of lifting in. Breakfast in America is one of my favorite albums of all time.
Rudy is another brilliant ride so many change ups pure joy love Supertramp
I really enjoy watching you guys react to Supertramp. And I'm very happy to see you get it when it comes to Supertramp. You are scratching the surface with the songs you have already heard. The next song, Rudy, would be my recommendation. This song will literally take you for a ride. Just watch them play Rudy in the Live in Paris concert. Every song on the album Crime of the Century is worth a listen. The entire album is about being trapped. Everyone recommends School, Bloody Well Right and others, but the song Asylum is a gem because the song builds up to the point that you can feel and hear the utter desperation at the end. I've seen them in concert three time, 1975, 77 and 79. I have multiple concert DVDs so I can keep experiencing them in concert 47 years later. It's their ability to play music so well on stage that gets me. They are one of my all time favorite bands. All of the songs recommended by others are great choices too. The song Even in the Quietest Moments is a great song for me because of how Roger goes off on what seems like singing randomly close to the end. It's like you say Amber. They are musical, theatrical, use classical instruments, their lyrics make you think, and their vocals are clear and understandable.
Une chanson de supertramp que j'aimerais entendre c'est CANNONBALL ! UN PUR BIJOU 💎
Hey Jordan And Amber, another Supertramp song you should do a reaction to is "Goodbye Stranger"
They did that one.
For me the album Crime of the Century,is my favorite album..
The recording is SOOO good for the time!!! The bass and drums are so clean!! Thanks for the great reaction!!
"Cannonball" is another good one. PROG ROCK is the term you're looking for. ELO, Moody Blues, early Genesis, Supertramp, early David Bowie.
Takes me back to my teenage youth.
Saw them many times since the 70's and then never disappoint.
Brilliance.
SuperTramp ALWAYS build up to a dynamic crescendo! Love ❤️ them!
One of the best from the best music era, the 70s.
Bloody Well Right, is another banger. Supertramp was a unique group. Love you guys for listening to the music of our youth. Thanks again.
