As a teenager in the mid-seventies , many of supertramps songs felt like they spoke to me ! That's the main reason I've fell in love with them , They're music spoke to me !
.....We have no reason to fight, 'cause we both know that we're right... This is a masterpiece and has aged well. Forty-four years as of this writing and as relevant today as it was then. Check out other classic works by Supertramp: 'Crisis, - what crisis'; 'Crime of the century'; 'Even in the quietest moments'. Johnny Bach and Billy Shakespeare of the twentieth century. Expressing the human condition in music and lyrics like few ever have.
Crown jewel of their crown jewel album. 45(!!)years later, still fresh, still fascinating. A keyboard tour-de-force. Might be Roger Hodgson's best composition. Rick Davies on piano...I don't have the vocabulary to describe how great that solo is. John Helliwell nailing his solo at the end, as usual.
That cover art with the waitress and the food crockery is New York as seen from an aeroplane window! The waitress is the Statue of Liberty and the crockery is the Manhattan skyline! Great great song - that wonderful piano solo and then the sax coming in to top it all off. Magical. It could have been ten minutes longer and no-one would have minded! BTW, one of my favourite songs on the album is one you haven't done yet - "Lord is it Mine".
One of my favourite song by Supertramp. First time I heard it I was 15 (1981) and listen to it today is like a dive in a pool of feelings! The end is so emotional! Thank you. 😍😍😍😍😍
Roger Hodgson really shines on this track. Paired with Rick Davies you can't go wrong. Definitely an extremely talented group. This is certainly one of their best albums.
Supertramp is prog rock at its finest. Five very talented and accomplished musicians. Rodger Hodgson is a very overlooked keyboard player and composer, IMO.🇨🇦🇨🇦
Absolutely love this song, an absolute masterpiece of what I call Prog Pop. The intro is epic in itself, in three sections. The rhythm section is doing some low key superb work. I love the combination of the trademark frenetic electric piano (essentially functioning in the rhythm guitar role) and the more spare, jazzy acoustic piano solo. The sax solo lifts the piece even higher, and yes, I'd be happy if it went for a few minutes more...
You really should listen to "Gone Hollywood" soon. Supertramp is one of my favorite bands. They were so talented, and Roger Hodgson's voice only seems to get better with age. This is actually my favorite song by them, and one of my all time favorite songs by anybody, and I love Van Halen, Pink Floyd, Toto, Phil Collins, Journey, Boston, Foreigner, and many other bands. This song has a special meaning to me, that nobody else would understand, but that is OK, it is only for me.
I'm pretty sure I recommended a track by track review of this album when you first started the Supertramp journey. The last two or three are a must at this point lol. Definitely a great album.
Start to finish on this album is good but it is not perfect. Casual Conversations is 2 step back from the rest imo and ruins an otherwise perfect masterpiece. Gone Hollywood is actually fairly heavy for Supertramp and really rocks.
Can't agree with you there..that song is quite a suitable filler song to maintain this as perfect. It is rare to assemble 10 songs together on an album that all could be hit singles
so the passenger is looking threw a plane window... the lady holding the orange juice is the statue of liberty...and the city behind is new york,,the twin towers ,,etc

Supertramp - one of my favourite groups and this song is amazing. You can’t go wrong with them

Great post Jeffrey. PLEASE take a listen to Red Rider's "Lunatic Fringe" with lyrics. Enjoy
One of my all time favorite songs
Dying of pleasure when I listen to this masterpiece!

Really Great Work

yeah very interesting cover, if you just glance at it you will miss the fine details
I have always hated how this song wasn't 20 mins long
lol
really.....that is such a fine GROOVE it could go on forever.
@@rk41gator huh
An amazing track and just as you think it's going to fade out with the piano, the saxophone cuts in EPIC.
Vastly underrated tune
i agree
Not by the hardcore fans.

Perfect, Jerry!❤. Nothin’ better than a 5:00 piano solo! You’ve reacted to the hits, but yeah, the whole album is awesome.
Yeah that piano was amazing
That was amazing, love the piano. Thank you Biz
That Piano was Crazy
Simply a masterpiece of epic proportions.
Thanks for follow up with this request Biz.
You bet
One of the best openings and endings in a record. Gone Hollywood and Child of Vision, looks like a loop, The hole record is a masterpiece..
Biz of Vision
Supertramp ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Saludos desde Argentina🇦🇷
You really need to go back and listen to the song A “soap box opera” from their album :crisis what crisis:
noted
Underrated album
Roger Hodgson really shines on this track. Paired with Rick Davies you can't go wrong. Definitely an extremely talented group. This is certainly one of their best albums.
Vastly underrated one. I hope you do Gone Hollywood. It's also 🔥

It's melodic, listenable prog rock; doesn't sacrifice listenability for artsiness.
This is one of my favorite albums. You gotta do “Lord Is it mine”
That fuzzy bass....OH, MAN!
Absolutely love this song, an absolute masterpiece of what I call Prog Pop. The intro is epic in itself, in three sections. The rhythm section is doing some low key superb work.

If more people heard this song it would be game over, It is one badass song.
Another Mans Woman is another Supertramp’s banger. Listen to it
IMMACULATE album Biz! Front to back. Still got my OG vinyl my Pops handed down to me. Nice one Mate ☘️🇺🇲
Rick's best ST piano solo. Just fire. This album hit my senior year of high school. What a great time to be a teenager.

that bass!!! Dougie Thomson
Here!
Yesssirrr
The album cover is supposed to represent Manhattan , The Twin towers are behind the glass of orange juice !
It was mentioned that Supertramp an English band (I believe) did the ‘Breakfast In America’ album because of their time spent there
Also, regarding the album cover - the waitress is where the Statue of Liberty stands in the real world, lol.
Dear Biz, please please listen (or react) to the live version, Paris 1979. It's a joy to watch 😉
New Sub .... Thanks mango ... I was listenng to supertramp n stumbled onyour channel ... Thank you thank u ... Kudos
Welcome aboard!
Am I alone in thinking this song is extremely funky? Like an early hip hop.
WOW, loved it

Your Music Mirrors Your Mind

Roger's 3rd Solo effort. Great album
This is actually my least favorite Supertramp album but this is my absolute favorite song from this album!!🥰❤❤❤
♥ ✌
Never heard this one before.
Loving the Piano! Wouldn't sound out of place on a Chicago House track! 😎
I'm pretty sure I recommended a track by track review of this album when you first started the Supertramp journey. The last two or three are a must at this point lol. Definitely a great album.

Roger ha got 60 songs composed that he didn't want to produce.
