In 1977 my brother had an extra ticket he couldn't sell to Supertramp's 1st Philly area concert at the Tower Theatre. I had no idea who they were. I wasn't doing anything, so I went. My mouth dropped to the floor and stayed there for the entire event. When they did this song, I could not believe what I was seeing and hearing. They had a really cool 2nd World War film playing behind them. On that magical night, it became my favorite Supertramp song and is still to this day. I had chills while they performed this. Thank you SO much. Because of its length, I never dreamed a reactor would take it on. The sound in that theatre was amazing. There were only about a few hundred people there. Incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great venue with excellent acoustics. I’ve seen a few shows there
Michael, I grew up only a few miles away from Upper Darby’s Tower Theatre, would have loved to see that show. Supertramp six years later played to a packed house at the Spectrum in ‘83. 17,000 fans plus. One of my top 10 concerts ever, of hundreds. Btw.. sadly never went to the Tower, though I hear David Bowie and others played there in outstanding shows.
You have lived! I envy you.
was there a train in the film?
@@irabernstein I-That was 45 years ago. What I remember is Winston Churchill's famous speech, and war-torn pictures of WWII , much like you're seeing today in Ukraine. One picture I will take to my grave is one of 3 or 4 little girls sitting on the ruins, looking displaced by the horrors of war.
One of the few rock songs that can truly be called a MASTERPIECE.
a fantastic symphonic epic
As well as Genesis "One For The Vine"... I am sure you agree.
As well as Evie by Stephen Wright.
My introduction to Supertramp was live at this tour. I had a cousin living in Ottawa ( I am from Toronto) and I was visiting for the weekend. He called and said there was a band playing at the Civic Center and did I want to go? I asked what band and he said "Supertramp". I honestly had no idea who they were. I asked how much the tickets were and he said $7.50. I said "reserved"?...(lol). He said yeah. So I said ok. I called my buddy and told him who I was going to see and asked if he knew who they were. He said yeah...his sister liked them. He brought over Crime of the Century. I was blown away. So I go to the concert thinking it'll be good. I was fucking floored. Imagine hearing this song for the first time...live. Supertramp became my favorite band in the world for the next 5 or 6 years and I saw them 3 times. To this day they are in My top 10 in music history. They are peers of Pink Floyd.
Beautiful song, also try 'Even in the Quietest Moments' from this album. Not as many changes, but very soulful and melodic.
Oh the nights I spent lying on the floor with headphones on listening to this epic creation and being swept away.
You are not alone in doing this.
So did I
first got into Supertramp in 1978. They did produce masterpieces. And Supertramp, along with a few other favorites, got me through trough times, keeping me company when I needed it.
Roger Hodgson's masterpiece that took him nearly 5 years to write and is a combination of three pieces of music with lyrics, according to Roger, that are meaningless other than they can evoke thoughts of patriotism and also the thought that man is a fool and will lead us to a downfall. All this from 1977 with snippets of Winston Churchill's (British PM) famous wartime speech in the face of adversity, William Blake's poem "Jerusalem" and Gustav Holst's "Venus". It is a fantastically conceived piece of music that I have seen Roger play with his band and which Roger also wrote for an orchestra to accompany. Thanks for playing it Chod.
Thanks for the info.
For me "Fool's Overture" stands in one row together with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Stairway To Heaven".
It's a shame that Supertramp haven't been inducted into the R'n'R Hall Of Fame yet.
Listen to one of the most underrated Live albums of all time, Supertramp Paris. Every song is epic and the musicianship overwhelms the senses. A beautiful work of art
The concert dvd for that is awesome.
If you are talking about the '79 concert, and I presume you are, I was there! Epic is the only word that comes close to describing it. Absolutely electric crowd that, at times, was stunned by what they were not only hearing, but seeing. As a 19 year old, it left an indelible imprint on my soul.
@@tonyhyatt2625 i was a roadie at the glasgow appolo..i was a peter gabriels genesis ( not phil collins era and i was a yes fan.....i did all their gigs then one day a band that i had heard of but never listened to them. came to the appollo and they bloody well blew me away. And oh, they were called supertramp.
@@tonyhyatt2625 You were there, WOW, I believe that is the best live album in rock history.
Played it non-stop my last few years of high school. Small town Saskatchewan kid. That's where I discovered this track. So long ago. Good time to grow up
My greatest concert experience was in 1977 when my friends and I saw Supertramp live in Milwaukee. We were SECOND ROW, right in front of Rick Davies!! I have been close to bands before when I attended GA concerts over the years, BUT Supertramp brings something special to the world! ✌🎼😍
Supertramp are the only band I know, that can take me where Pink Floyd takes me.
"Rudy" and "If Anyone Was Listening" from the Crime Of The Century album are both sweet.
He's reacted to the live version of Rudy...
I’m late to comment :) Pink Floyd and Supertramp where my fav. bands in my teen years and I still enjoy both bands a lot. Do you know Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson if not I recommend to check that out!! they have become my fav. artists ❤️, we obviously have the same taste in music, so just wanted to tell you about PT. “Time Flies” is a good place to start if you dont know them as it’s a very “Pink Floydish” song😊
@@hellesndergaardpetersen8266 that song is pretty damn good, for sure some Floyd influence, but original. I have never heard of Porcupine Tree, thanks for the recommendation.
@@MrDeadstu Your very welcome 😃. I had a feeling you would like it. PT is VERY diverse from melodic to heavy songs and a lot of their songs (as well as Steven Wilson’s solo songs) require multiple listens to truely appreciate them, so if you dont like it at first give it a chance (for your own sake :) I promise you you won’t regret it 😊
My cousin just named his son Rudy and I sent the live version over. He’s never heard of Supertramp! (From Stockport lol) now him and his missus love them. 😂
Chod , A great song of theirs that is often overlooked is Sister Moonshine. You may want to give it a listen
One of those voices you heard was Winston Churchill and his We Will Never Surrender speech.
Fitting song for what's happening with the world today. The more things "CHANGE", the more they stay the same!
The song is about Winston Churchill!!
Haven’t heard this in ages! Love it! You must listen to Hide in Your Shell if you haven’t done it already.
A Masterpiece of Prog Rock and when that sax kicks in at 8:20 just for a bit, Aaahhhh. Great song Chod. Not many would react to this brother. Excellent analysis.
I remember this track from older brother's collection on 8-track. Part of it was used for the news program W5 in Canada (the driving, high energy synth part) and I really got into the story of it since I was also interested in Churchill and WW2.
Wondered if anyone would mention W5 lol.
I will always attend the party when it is Supertramp. You are in for a treat 🎶🎶
And to think when I tried to play Supertramp at a party in high school, they all said "Supertramp? They're boring!" Obviously they never heard songs like 'Child of Vision" or "Bloody Well Right"
My third favourite of theirs. 'School', This one, 'Lord is it mine' and 'child of vision' round up my top 4.
Chod, their "Dreamer" and "Its Raining Again" are next for you!! They deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
Yes has been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall Fame. Supertramp deserves to join them.
I watch several “Reaction” videos each day (68-Happily Retired) and download the ones I like to share with family and friends. Hundreds of great songs I grew up with. Many of the groups I have seen live many times like “The Tramp“. I’ll put your reactions in their own folder if you keep reacting to such classic music. I always spark up my pipe to watch you enjoy the magical music I love. Thanks, Have a Splendid Magical Day
My favourite Supertramp song; so much so I had to learn to play piano just to play along with it. In concert Supertramp had one of the best sound systems: these guys all were super talented. I’ve seen them about 4 or 5 times. Always thought those days would never end. Then the unthinkable happened, Roger Hodgeson, the main singer in this song, left the group. Same reaction when Roger Waters left Pink Floyd.
I saw the band in Regina around 1977 and I was amazed. As a drummer, I really got into the show. Glad you found this band.
Four masterpiece albums
Crime of the Century
Crisis? What Crisis?
Even In the Quietest Moments
Breakfast in America
Two very good albums
Famous Last Words
Brother Where You Bound
( the live album " Paris " is superb)
All songs good/very good/masterpiece ( as Fool's Overture obviously is)
Live version from Paris has a slightly different feel, also superb. Roger Hodgson has done numerous versions with orchestras, also worth a listen
Rick Davies really took it hard when Roger Hodgson left the band to spend more time with family around ‘87 or so. He’s a keyboard virtuoso who I feel is underrated when gauging Supertramp’s success. He felt they had a lot more music to offer ahead of them. A reunion of those two great musicians would be great if Rick’s health improves.
@@chuckhutton5087 Rick's health isn't the main issue regarding a reunion, it is Roger and Rick being egotistical @$$es who won't forgive past slights against each other...arrogance and egotistical behavior
@@michaelbaucom4019 It didn't help that Rick's wife, who hated Roger's guts, became the band's manager.
@@michaelbaucom4019 Although not strictly speaking Supertramp, I would add Roger's album Eye of the Storm, and move Crisis from masterpiece to very good.
Big part of uniqueness of Supertramp is the name of their songs which by itself is epic
I believe I first heard this album at a party in the place I was living in early '78 at the junction of two highways at the top of the hill out of the Fraser River Valley south of Vancouver, BC, 10 bdrms, 2 huge kitchens and a bunch of yobs, 70 foot semi-circular living-room, someone walked off with my guitar I'd been given by the bass-player from my first band after he burned down the rental house where we were living while i was en-route to a party late Oct. '76 in Toronto. I still have my affection and respect for Supertramp. C'est la vie, right?
Saw them play it live in the 70's. Amazing live band. You would be surprised how much of this they could do without tapes.
Hey Chod! So many masterpieces by Supertramp. 🔔📯🎹
Such a great band
Roger Hodgson has a live performance with a full fricken orchestra! The live element I believe fills out the vision he had in his head. Whether you do a reaction or not, go watch it.
This shouldn't come as a surprise, but the 70s wasn't just about dance music and radio friendly songs. Lots of experimental, almost counter-radio friendly with bands like Supertramp, Chicago, and Pink Floyd. They weren't scared to make music that transports you away to somewhere else that's not here.
Oh, and btw, that little fast keyboard riff was actually used as the theme song for a long running Canadian News show.
W5
@@brucecurry1249 yeppers. That was the show.
Very much a great prog rock anthem. Rodger Hodgson has such a clear high voice. Orchestrations are wonderful. Has a permanent place on my iPod.
I like how the singing starts at exactly the half way mark.
I saw Supertramp in Montreal at Jerry Park in 1978. You should have been there. Almost a riot when the lead singers mic failed. Fun times
I remember
I saw them live in Seattle Washington, 5 rows back! Transfixed!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I left for Houston from Western New York in the fall of 1977.
Before I left, I bought 2 cassettes... “Rumors” by Fleetwood Mac and “Even in the Quietest Moments”. I played them
both , alternately, for 30 hrs. of driving time. I was already a Supertramp fan, but this album will be etched in my memory forever. Definitely, one of their best works... even before “Breakfast in America”.
Great song and great album. Asylum, from crime of the century is one many overlook that you should react to.🎸🎶
I have had the extreme pleasure of seeing Supertramp “The Tramp” LIVE 4 times. Their music is pure brilliance from each member of the group. Rick Davies - My Favorite Piano/Keyboard Player. John Helliwell - Favorite Sax player. Roger, Bob and Dougie are all awesome. Their Live shows are spectacular. I only put Pink Floyd (4 times) one place higher for their shows.
Beautiful piece! Super deep topic masterfully matched to orchestra-like music, great song to reflect on too, considering the state of the world.....💔
Great reaction. Speaking of our favorite band. Yes-Magnification. Please and thank you.
Great reaction, Chod! EVERY Supertramp song off of all four albums from Crime Of The Century through Breakfast in America are well worthy of a reaction! You will absolutely love so many of them!!
1979 at The Forum, what a show, what a band!
Pièce of art 💜
You mentioned the Band..Yes.
Another Favorite Groups of mine..thank you.
My favorite reaction of yours..was this one.
Masterpiece by Supertramp … 🎉
Supertramp always has an extended track on all their albums. This is an absolute masterpiece.
back in the late 70s this was the lead in intro to a canadian news show call w5 much like 60 minutes in the us...took me until few years ago to realize it was a supertramp recording
The 5 best shows I attended were the five Supertramp played at the old Northland's Colliseum in Edmonton
Thanks Wilburn, for your frank reaction and intelligent analysis. I tip my hat to you for being one of the most likeable UA-cam presenters. This track is not so much a song as a performance and should be listened to from start to finish. It's full of surprises, trippy off-beats and weird angles, all of which make Supertramp legendary for their time.
Great song, great band live. Thanks for the memories man!!!😊🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🍻🍻🍻🍻
In the 70's Ford Auditorium in Detroit would have weekday $2 concerts for up and coming bands. My cousin had listened to their earlier album and talked us into going. We walked out of there godsmacked wondering how they were not huge already. 2 months later they exploded. Saw so many awesome bands that became superstars there Queen, Thin Lizzy, Kiss, Heart, Rainbow and more.
Oh snap!!! So glad you're doing this. I always request this from the reactors I sub to. Thanks, Chod.
Plus, one of the more beautiful album covers.
Welcome to progressive rock. Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Jethro Tull. Transitions, surprises, innovative instruments and melodies. No pat formulas.
Your smile is infectious keep smiling
Indeed it is 👍👌 when ST go for the kill they do it to perfection
The runout was the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra tuning up.
I am so very passionate about this song..always have been.
Did you know..part of this Masterpiece was used as a Theme Song on a Canadian TV Program?.
The Show was called..Fashion Television.. featured on City TV Station.
The part of the song uses started 3:38 Minuites in.
More accurately..4:00 Minuites in.
It was an edited bit..from the Synthesized Piano section.
I apologize for a previous comment I made on your..(Live) "School" reaction.
I had no idea you reviewed the Studio Version of THIS song..on your channel.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.. for using (this version) of the song and not Live.
Thanks again for not talking over it.
Welcome to the Supertramp Land!!!
Def my fav tramp song. My mom would play this all the time when I was a kid.
You just have to hit the title track from this album. Absolutely gorgeous!
Most of my vinyl has been in plastic boxes in my garage since I moved in 1999. I haven't heard this song in decades but I have a weekend project now - find my Supertramp albums and exercise the turntable! This was fabulous, reminded me of how great the band is.
When I play this record at home and go about my day. This beautiful song always gets me to stand by my record player and just stand there. And get lost in music. This song you don't just hear this is a song you feel.
WOW, this was epic.
Great reaction. This has always been my favorite Supertramp album. I have to admit that this is not my favorite song from the album, or even 3rd or 4th. My favorite song is definitely the title song "even in the quietest moments". It's kind of sad that we no longer have the attention span for music like this.
Me too, every thing you just said
A true prog masterpiece. It's takes you on a cinematic journey.
Yes, SuperTramp, Genesis......dude, you have to dive into 'Supper's Ready'.
Masterpiece, nothing more to add.
Oooohh shiiite it's about to be EPIC!!!
Discovered them as a tween in the 70s as the DJs at school dances used to play them when on breaks. Finally saw them in Ottawa in 77 as a teen. My first live and still to this day best concert ever!!!!
Part of this song was used as the theme to W5.
i was trying to find out if the wind ssound was done by scratching fine fabric, didnt find it, BUT i found THIS: "The sheet music on the piano, though titled "Fool's Overture", is actually "The Star-Spangled Banner". .."
It is such an incredible orchestration,..Supertramp, PF,..their trademarks if you will, having these background noises, voices, animal sounds,..I heard this after discovering FM,..we had FM in the car, our console tv that had a 8 track tape deck, record player,..but my folks never listened to it,..it was always AM, and my friend told me, that's where all the really, really more progressive, and wild music on FM,..and I had a AM only radio, then got a transitor portable radio,..and latched onto this rock station, first song I heard was this,..the dj announced it,...and I heard overture in the title and I'm like hmmm,..and then it kinda starts off in a classical manner,..like ELO'S Roll Over Beethoven,..so its deceptive, you know,..it sounds beautiful,..but your thinking why are they playing this on a rock station,..like Elton's Funeral For A Friend,..then the beat picks up,..and it has this swagger,..you weren't prepared for,..my brain just latched onto it like fish to water,..I had heard Pigs, from PF, seen the video on Midnight Special,.young mind flooded already with progressive music, David Bowie,..but this,..this was blowing my mind,..that speech in the background from Churchill,..and those immortal words, "we schall never surrender ",..it just ,..I had goosebumps and still do when I heard that,..and the length of this song,..that first time I heard it,..just enthralled,..frozen until it stopped,..and so wanted to hear more,..I became a stalker,..once I found out the telephone # to the radio station, I called I swear every day,..the dj would answer, and before I could say it,..he's, like, Fools Overture, yess i know, I know",🙄, huh he started to know my voice,..recognized me, I swear,..I didn't care, had to have my Supertramp fix,..phenomenal band,..Supergroup,..do add them to your play list,..you'll be hitting rewind, repeat,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
CANT GO WRONG WITH SUPER TRAMP! GOOD CALL!
Really good call!
Crime of the Century is their best Album. All round in my opinion. This one is also great.
"Hide In Your Shell" is brilliant...
Five minute intro of pure music of a 10 minute song
A genius masterpiece of work and being a Brit it evokes the British life to its core in me
This is my favorite track of theirs
Just another great uk super group from the 70s smashin it out the park what a song and in my opinion there best album.after this album they went to poppy with breakfast in america
Absolutely, love this song and what you said about it. The whole Crime of the Century and Even in the Quietest Moments albums are brilliant imo. I saw them on both of those tours and they were outstanding live as well. Thanks for this, do more Supertramp. Peace!
Your music mirrors your mind
Another opportunity to experience a solo member Roger Hodgson has several solo albums to his credit Please check it!
I love all Supertramp from Crime of the Century, on. However this is my Favourite.
A total journey full of ear candy!
Like comment below, saw Supertramp in Liverpool in a gigantic Marquee as they were massive here, about 60,000 turned up WITH Tickets and about 60,000 without listening outside. Mate all these albums are from 73/4 to 79/80 Paris Live is my fav, being a drummer the BPM is 5-10 quicker! We all knew every lyric and even they said it was between us and Spain as their best gig on a World Tour. They were just note perfect from start to finish! You’d think you was at home with headphones on. Next to Stevie Wonder at Lake Tahoe, 2016 or Supertramp 1989 two best gigs I’ve been too…
Love Earlier Supertramp...saw them 3x live and they are prenominal live! My first album by them was Crime of the Century and it is one of my go-to albums in it's recording, musicianship, fun to listen to and their most Prog album, IMHO. However, Even in the Quietest Moments & Crisis? What Crisis are their best works Listen to all of these & tell me what you think.
i was just feeling so good only seeing him enjoying the song
I don't think I ever heard this playing on the radio, but great art isn't everyone's cup of tea! Great reaction!
Too long for radio air play unfortunately
Probably my favourite Supertramp track. So powerful.
can you do a reaction to Your Poppa Don't Mind by Supertramp
FYI, Crisis, What Crisis! Check it out. That is all ✌🤘
An unique master piece!!!
Awesome song live!!
I can't tell you how much I APPRECIATE you not interrupting the video and instead, giving the commentary afterward.
BEST REVIEW CHANNEL!❤❤❤
Logical song is a must!
Even In The Quitest Moments might be my favourite Supertramp from front to back, it's just a stunning album... But then I also love Breakfast In America any day of the week.
You also can't argue with " Crime of the Century" that said the actual the song "Quietest Moments" was the very first time I heard a Supertramp song. To this day, I know where, when, who I was with when I first heard it on an awesome stereo system. I had my own with Dual 701, pioneer amps and 10 band equalizers, reverbs, Sansui and Kenwood speakers . It was superb playing anything from them on it along with Pink floyd and so many others. Lost it all in the Loma Prieta earthquake.
I couldn’t agree more. Even in the Quietest Moments is such a sleeper album but once you dive in it will take its place as one of their best. What a run of albums from Crime of the Century to Breakfast in America. SuperTramp are magical!
First Time I listen to crime of the century album I became automaticaly addict to there music still am😊
Another great song by one of my top ten groups. Great reaction. For something a little rockier, and with GREAT horns - try Cannonball by Supertramp - one of their last group albums - featuring the other lead vocalist - Rick Davies. It's a banger !
The chanting in the opening moments was from a crowd supporting Adolf Hitler followed by Winston Churchill's famous speech "Never surrender." My thought about "take to the skies" referred to The battle of Britian at the time of the speech. Unfortunately the "called the man a fool" is probably a reference to Churchill as well. After the war he was belittled for warning about the communist threat.
This song is so complex that anyone can find their own interpretation.
Love this tune, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone react to this song yet. So great choice
Love Fools Overture, thank you for bringing it up again. Try the version on the Paris Live album, an even better version in my opinion.
This song raises massive chills in me. Sonic perfection.
Want to go for a beer with this man
dig your t shirt!
i remember watching that game. Mikey looked like one of those marathon runners who collapse right before the finish line. I knew MJ was crazy enough already, but that was some next level stuff.
Oh, and great reaction!
