I know. I get a kick out of it. The reaction she has when a sax kicks in (Rafferty's Baker Street was gold). I get the same melting feeling when I hear it.
I love the little snippet of Roger Hodgson sitting on the bus holding his guitar as the lad enters. Nice touch. Supertramp is a wonderful group of amazing and talented musicians. Their music is such a treat!
All five members of Supertramp appear in the video: John Helliwell - Street musician playing sax Dougie Thomson - bus driver Roger Hodgson - guitar playing bus passenger Rick Davies - pickup redneck #1 Bob Siebenberg - pickup redneck #2
Roger Hodgson's last hurrah with Supertramp. After this, he left the band solely in the hands of Rick Davies. Not coincidentally, it was also their last top 20 hit in the US. I love this song.
@@leemiracle6840 "In The Eye Of The Storm" is a fantastic album. I heard there's a theory that many of the songs on "Breakfast In America" were an Indirect dialog between Rick and Roger, they were increasingly not seeing eye to eye musically by the end of the 70s.
Me too ❤. One of my most favourite Supertramp songs along with "Dreamer", "Give a little bit", "School", "The Logical Song", "Bl**dy well right" and so many more. Please, please Jay and Amber review "School" as well (the whole thing - it's a long song). Utterly fabulous. Poor Roger. I don't think he enjoyed his time in UK schools very much!
You can’t go wrong with Supertramp - they’re brilliant. Child of Vision, Fool’s Overture (heavy one), Lord is it Mine, Rudy. Wait. School. Have you not done School????? That’s a Must!! 😮❤
In order of appearence: John Helliwell (saxophone in the street opening), Dougie Thomson (bass, the buss driver), Roger Hodgson (guitars, keyborards and vocals, with the guitar in the bus) and the two guys in the truck are Bob Siebemberg (drums, on the wheel) and Rick Daivies (besides him).
Oh Crap, I caught Dougie Thomson the Bus driver, and Roger Hodgson with guitar on the bus, but missed John Helliwell Bob Sieberberg and Rick Davies. Dang!! got to go back and watch it again!!! Thanks for that Sergio!!!
This song always makes me feel good, 🥰 even though the lyrics are dark. Contrasting happy melodies with darker lyrics seems to be a trend of the 80's. If you think of prog rock, when you think of Super Tramp you'll understand the areas they were working in. Prog meaning a progression or an evolution of normal rock structure, bringing it into dreamlike / surreal/ jazz/ futuristic, etc. themes.
Coming off of their previous smash album "Breakfast In America", this was a very good followup for Supertramp. Definitely one of the more underrated rock bands from that time period.
I went to a Supertramp concert in Toronto in the summer of 1978. They played for three consecutive nights, and averaged over 40,000 fans per concert. I met Roger Hodgson years later when he came in for an interview. A real gentleman.
I think this is your seventh Supertramp song, and all have been great. You've covered almost all of their songs to hit the Top 40 (with the exception of "Dreamer (Live)", "My Kind of Lady", and "Cannonball". I haven't delved enough into their albums to recommend much beyond that, but I'm sure some of my fellow fans will be happy to do so.
This is my favourite 1980's Supertramp album along with "Breakfast In America". This song features John Helliwell's flawless saxophone. The play out solo is fantastic. I wish it was longer. "Old Brown Shoes" and "My Kinda Lady" are also standout tracks in this album!
Cash Box said it is "vintage Supertramp with all of the elements that have made the group’s sound so distinctive" and that it is "bouncy and hook-laden." The song debuted at No. 31 on 30 October 1982 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the second highest debut on that chart for all of 1982 (bested only by "Ebony and Ivory" at No. 29 on 10 April 1982), but it only peaked at No. 11, making it one of the few songs to enter the chart in the Top 40 but not reach the Top 10. The end of the song incorporates the old nursery rhyme "It's Raining, It's Pouring". (Wikipedia)
My 5 favorite Supertramp songs 1. Child of Vision 2. Child of Vision 3. Child of Vision 4. Child of Vision 5. Tie between Child of Vision And Child of Vision
The video was directed by Russell Mulcahy, who directed the music videos "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran, "Young Turks" by Rod Stewart, "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac as well as videos for Elton John, Billy Joel and Queen.
I loved that at the end of the song they recited the old rhyme " its raining its pouring the old man is snoring etc " although this just gave away my age !😂
Couldn't be more thrilled to hear you are "obsessed" with Supertramp, you get an A++ for your music appreciation skills! Listen to "School" next If you want to take your next Supertramp journey (comment from 11 months ago)
" Don't leave me now" is such a beautiful song ! I would put it in the category of Alan Parsons song titled "Old and Wise" they're very similar in their meaning and message !
When I saw Roger in concert in 2019, he did all the Supertramp hits, but this is the one that had the Royal Albert Hall audience up on its feet and singing along. My ex and I, this was our song, often played on rainy campsites across the UK, because you have to laugh, don't you? Been asking for this for ages, thank you!
Do you mean RAH? Yes it can seem a bit big and the sight lines are terrible. It's designed for the audience to be looking at things in the centre, not at one end. I saw Mark Knopfler at the Albert Hall, hardly caught a glimpse because of things and people in the way. Saw him a couple of days later at the O2 - further away but a much better view. Interestingly he came on, looked around and said, 'This is a big old shed, isn't it?'
Trust that someone is always going to hand you an umbrella... to shelter from the rain. As Jay says : no matter if you fall, just get back up and go for it. One of their "Lighter" songs, musically. Can't wait till you get into their more successful hits "School", "Crime of The Century", "Fool's Overture", and "From Now On". Cheers from Montreal...
Always loved this 'different' side of Supertramp. It's a fun and pleasant song.... for sure one of their most recognizeable songs (now that you've heard it!). Great Reaction Guys!
I get the feeling both the songs end and the videos implies he ended up in a coma, ("he bumped his head and he couldn't get up in the morning") but now in dreamland everything is fine. And he stays there. ("the old man is snoring") The video also turns from albeit still dreamlike to completely surrealistic the last few moments. Bit like the other side of the glass version to Smiths - "Girlfriend in a coma" perhaps? :)
From their 1982 album "Famous Last Word", this is a bouncy, hook laden great tune by SuperTramp, with their great presentation of instruments in their tradition. The last sentence features the nursery rhyme "It's raining, It's pouring". Always entertaining. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Roger was an unknown legend by most music listeners. The arsenal of songs he put together for this band was eyepopping at the time. Logical Song will always and forever be in my personal top-100 along with School. Legendary songs that will be discussed over time as more pundits appreciate the efforts made to create them.
Saw my only Supertramp concert on this tour. Best opening to a show I have ever seen, and a top 5 concert. Great use/integration of video and visuals. The opening featured the cover of the album with the tightrope, walker and scissors. 60 seconds into the show I turned to my friend and said I could leave satisfied I got my money's worth right then (but of course we weren't leaving). Their live album "Paris" is very strong and worth checking out, if not for the channel, for yourselves. Have a great day!
Jay and Amber? the Greyhound bus driver was the Bass player and the guy on the bus across from the guy playing the guitar was Roger Hodgson, the singer of this song. Cool!!
Supertramp and Steve Miller: always evocative of the 70’s for me. I was but a lad when they were huge and the childhood memories flood back when they play.
I am still hoping one day to hear Roger Hodgson from Supertramp and Geddy Lee from Rush sing together.....I think they woukd sound killer together..... Peace and love to all from your friendly neighbor from the north... 🙏❤️😎🇨🇦
My favourite Supertramp song. I don’t know about the rest of the world but this was really popular in South Africa when it was released in 1982. So many childhood memories tied up with this one...The cheery, upbeat tone of the song is juxtaposed against the misadventures suffered by the main protagonist in the video. Then it all comes together at the end when he meets the girl of his dreams thereby reinforcing the upbeat tone of the song- so typically 80’s😊
I love this band!!! I don't think you have listened to "Crime of The Century" which was the first thing of theirs I had ever heard and was instantly hooked!
Love this song and I’m so glad you’re doing it. It should be kind of sad, but it really just makes me happy. :D Somewhat similar, but you might check out Barry Manilow’s “I Made It Through the Rain”, no horns, but just as uplifting :D
It is that old adage that says " when it rains it pours ". when one thing goes wrong, that is normal but then, once in a while, everything goes wrong, in one day, or one thing after another day, and it's, oh, boy , enough already! those bad days do come up,,,,,,then, sun comes out.
It might help if you pay particular attention to when the song was released. Just about every rock band that was big in the 1970s watered down, and sugared up their sounds in the 1980s, for whatever reasons.
Going back to the movie channel right after this! Oh, remember this now. Nice tune. Man! What a bad day. Ah. The "It's Raining" song at the end too. Thanks. OK! Back to your movie reaction channel!!!
I love these videos that impart life lessons. As a kid in high school, they really spoke to me. On that note, I would like to recommend "All of the Good Ones Are Taken" by Mott the Hoople front man Ian Hunter.
I love this song (haven't heard it for ages), but Amber's seated dance moves make every song even better!
I know. I get a kick out of it. The reaction she has when a sax kicks in (Rafferty's Baker Street was gold).
I get the same melting feeling when I hear it.
Haven’t heard it in over 30 years!
I love the little snippet of Roger Hodgson sitting on the bus holding his guitar as the lad enters. Nice touch. Supertramp is a wonderful group of amazing and talented musicians. Their music is such a treat!
All five members of Supertramp appear in the video:
John Helliwell - Street musician playing sax
Dougie Thomson - bus driver
Roger Hodgson - guitar playing bus passenger
Rick Davies - pickup redneck #1
Bob Siebenberg - pickup redneck #2
I THINK THERE'S A CAMEO OF EACH BAND MEMBER IN THE VIDEO.
Bus driver too was the Bass player. lol
This gives you a happy feeling even though he’s singing about the sad things that people go through. Always fight for better days 😊
Even though he’s singing about rain!! Rain can be tranquil and calming ! Everything will be alright!
It's Raining Again = the British experience.
Nice symbolism with the umbrella -- one of Supertramp's icons.
Roger Hodgson's last hurrah with Supertramp. After this, he left the band solely in the hands of Rick Davies. Not coincidentally, it was also their last top 20 hit in the US. I love this song.
True, but they did have 2 other Top 40 Hits from is album.
His solo album, eye of the storm is really good.

@@leemiracle6840 I've never listened to Roger Hodgson's solo work but it's a good suggestion. I'll check it out.
You can’t go wrong with Supertramp - they’re brilliant. Child of Vision, Fool’s Overture (heavy one), Lord is it Mine, Rudy. Wait. School. Have you not done School????? That’s a Must!! 😮❤
I’m learning the piano solo for school. So fun
All Supertramp records are so beautifully crafted. From the writing, the vocals, the instruments to the production. All so well put together.
you need to listen to this song Even in the Quietest Moments

Who yeah think you're fooling.
Well his voice is unmistakable! This one came out in 1982! Definitely one of my favorite song from them.

Supertramp is a super band. Love them ❤
Great react. Supertramp is amazing. Very good albums with great songs
I loved that at the end of the song they recited the old rhyme " its raining its pouring the old man is snoring etc " although this just gave away my age !😂
Yes! More Supertramp!!!Logical song was the gateway reaction video that drew me in to your channel in the first place.
Well you have covered quite a few SuperTramp now. Now for Fools Overture, the masterpiece which will blow your mind’s
Couldn't be more thrilled to hear you are "obsessed" with Supertramp, you get an A++ for your music appreciation skills! Listen to "School" next If you want to take your next Supertramp journey (comment from 11 months ago)
Don't Leave Me Now was my favourite song on this album. Too often forgotten. Amber would love the horns...
" Don't leave me now" is such a beautiful song ! I would put it in the category of Alan Parsons song titled "Old and Wise" they're very similar in their meaning and message !
Best concert I went to!! “School” has an awesome piano riff!!🤘🔥
I keep recommending School and hope that one day they will get to it !!
Listened to it a thousand times! One of my alltime favorite songs but never knew it was by supertramp
"My Kind of Lady" from the same album also has a great saxophone solo, even better I think.
When I saw Roger in concert in 2019, he did all the Supertramp hits, but this is the one that had the Royal Albert Hall audience up on its feet and singing along.
My ex and I, this was our song, often played on rainy campsites across the UK, because you have to laugh, don't you?
Been asking for this for ages, thank you!
The RCH was such a terrible venue. I saw him there and felt like we were in a big shed. The Palladium concerts were way way better.
Do you mean RAH? Yes it can seem a bit big and the sight lines are terrible. It's designed for the audience to be looking at things in the centre, not at one end.
I saw Mark Knopfler at the Albert Hall, hardly caught a glimpse because of things and people in the way. Saw him a couple of days later at the O2 - further away but a much better view. Interestingly he came on, looked around and said, 'This is a big old shed, isn't it?'
You guys would really like Supertramp “School” with copious piano!
Awwww, this sax at the very beginning!!🥰🥰
Supertramp "It's Raining Again" = When Life Gives You Lemons,, Instead Of Sitting There Sour & Sad About It,, You Make The Best Lemonade You Can.
Trust that someone is always going to hand you an umbrella... to shelter from the rain. As Jay says : no matter if you fall, just get back up and go for it. One of their "Lighter" songs, musically. Can't wait till you get into their more successful hits "School", "Crime of The Century", "Fool's Overture", and "From Now On". Cheers from Montreal...
"My kind of lady" is another great song of Supertramp
Supertramp is diverse, but simple to spot. If a song makes you feel happy for no apparent reason, it’s very likely Supertramp.
Did y'all notice at the very end of this song, children sang a famous nursery rhyme - "It's Raining, It's Pouring..." by 'Mother Goose'
The woman who hands the dude the umbrella is the same woman who appears on the Breakfast in America album cover as the Statue of Liberty.
Loved this song back in the 80's. Super Tramp was a great band. Memories.
Listen to "Even in the quietest moments" if you haven't already. Make sure it's the studio version!!!
Always loved this 'different' side of Supertramp. It's a fun and pleasant song.... for sure one of their most recognizeable songs (now that you've heard it!). Great Reaction Guys!
Love it when you do supetramp my mums fav band she would be dancing with you miss her x

That voice should be a clear indication that this is Supertramp..🤘😎
Love this song. Thank you for doing another Supertramp reaction.
Is there a regular Supertramp? Seems like every song is a different Supertramp. That's what makes them very special.
'Rudy" would be another side of Supertramp for you to explore. ☮💚🎶
Have listened to SUPERTRAMP since my teens in the early seventies and absolutely love their music still, to me they just made beautiful music.
I've just seen one of the Righteous Brothers singing "Summertime" Wow Wow Wow..
great song, great band
love this tune and video
Loved this song.
The lady who gives him the umbrella is the woman on the cover of their album "Breakfast in America".
This one and "Dreamer" are my favourite Supertramp songs. 🎵🎼🎙
I've always loved the song even when I was little. It's definitely dark but I still love it.
Anything by Supertramp is superb. Still hoping and waiting for SCHOOL off their "Crime of the Century" album. You'll love it!
My favorite group ..thanks 🙂
2 great songs by them. Hide In Your Shell off Crime Of The Century album. And Child Of Vision off the Breakfast In America album.
One of our great “happy” beat songs❤da da da da da da!!😊😊
First heard this over Christmas break back in 1982 and loved it right away. A classic tune of my youth.
and at the end, and in the end, it rains on everyone! all of us are in that boat.
Jay and Amber? the Greyhound bus driver was the Bass player and the guy on the bus across from the guy playing the guitar was Roger Hodgson, the singer of this song. Cool!!
Love Roger's cameo in this!
Although it has dark lyrics it's a very uplifting song.
This is one of those songs that you never forget after you've heard it once. It doesn't sound like anything else.
You guys might want to check out Supertramp's 'Even in the Quietest Moments', (the song). It's also very different, creative and meditative.
Supertramp and Steve Miller: always evocative of the 70’s for me. I was but a lad when they were huge and the childhood memories flood back when they play.

Very similar voices. I see your point.
OMG yes! I've never put the two together before but you are absolutely correct, their voices would be amazing together!
@@MaggieValera Nice when someone gets me....Cheers Maggie...🥂😊
@@garryleblanc4002Backatcha! 🍻
I love it!..its so refreshing!..it gives so much hope which we so need today!
Always liked this song. Great message
I adore this song!

Glad the kid in the video finally got a break--But I love how Supertramp bought in a small group of kids to help them on the take out chrous!
Jay & Amber, you'll love their song "Breakfast In America"!!!
Crime of the Century is also a very good album.
Have you all listen to Breakfast in America? If not that should be your next Supertramp song.
I love this band!!! I don't think you have listened to "Crime of The Century" which was the first thing of theirs I had ever heard and was instantly hooked!

You can never go wrong with more Supertramp 😍
My college freshman year 1st semester- this is one of the songs that always takes me back to Fall 1982! Thanks😊
I love this song, it always picks me up when I feel down.
It is that old adage that says
" when it rains it pours ". when one thing goes wrong, that is normal but then, once in a while, everything goes wrong, in one day, or one thing after another day, and it's, oh, boy , enough already! those bad days do come up,,,,,,then, sun comes out.
Happy music always was 🙂
Hide in Your Shell is another great song by Supertramp!
It might help if you pay particular attention to when the song was released. Just about every rock band that was big in the 1970s watered down, and sugared up their sounds in the 1980s, for whatever reasons.
I love this song. I actually remembered this song out of nowhere recently and didn't know who sang the song.
I went out of my way to watch all your Supertramp reactions...and liked...and support you music lovers.
Going back to the movie channel right after this! Oh, remember this now. Nice tune. Man! What a bad day. Ah. The "It's Raining" song at the end too. Thanks. OK! Back to your movie reaction channel!!!
Amber is joy!
Another surprising sound from them is "Lord, Is It Mine?"
I love these videos that impart life lessons. As a kid in high school, they really spoke to me. On that note, I would like to recommend "All of the Good Ones Are Taken" by Mott the Hoople front man Ian Hunter.
Good suggestion. They haven't done Ian yet.
I apologize for the comments on your other Supertramp video. You had seen this already. This was SOOO huge for me in the fall of '82!!
THIS SONG WAS A BIG HIT BACK IN THOSE DAYS!
I have a concert of theirs on Blu-ray, and it's my favorite Concert Blue-ray!
I can highly recommend School. It's a certified Supertramp classic. 😀
Brother Where You Bound is a mind blowing journey. Much like a long Pink Floyd adventure.
You really need to listen to "School"! Seriously awesome song! ✌🇨🇦
