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
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!!!
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!! 😮❤
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.
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!
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 !😂
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.
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 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 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.
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)
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!
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)
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?'
" 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 !
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
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!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
Don't you know that there is an album called "Crisis? What Crisis?", where there are monumental songs like "Just A Normal Day", "Another Man's Woman", the great "Poor Boy" or "Two Of Us", this album is a masterpiece at a time when Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies had an excellent creativity. Saludos
New to the streets here, though I've lived and worked on them throughout my life. You guys amaze me. There's a little bit of both of you inside of me. Jay, with your bass and guitar riffs and Amber, your horns and the way you immerse yourself into the music. You're amazing. It's like you're so deep into it that you place yourself into the song and express the viewpoint of the singer. Anyway, if you want to really hear a different sound from Supertramp, you need to hear their song "Cannonball". I think you'll both be surprised. You might want to check out their song "Child of Vision" too. Peace y'all.🕊
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!!!
This song came from their album, Famous Last Words in 1982. It was the album after the highly successful, Breakfast in America. You have reacted to songs from it. I saw the Famous Last Words tour in Vancouver in 1983 and believe it or not the band was in the process of splitting up as they had a couple of back up performers on stage because Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies the two main writers and singers were not getting along. The concert felt like they mailed it in which was sad but understandable. Roger left the band then in1984 released a solo album "Eye of the Storm" with a couple of hits including the title track and" In Jeopardy" a great tune. Rick released Supertramp's next record called Cannon Ball that kind of spelled the end of Supertramp. If you want to react to what I believe is the masterpiece song of Supertramp from their1977 album Even in the Quietest Moment, the 11minute masterpiece...Fools Overture.
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!
you need to listen to this song Even in the Quietest Moments
Nice symbolism with the umbrella -- one of Supertramp's icons.
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.
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!!!
All Supertramp records are so beautifully crafted. From the writing, the vocals, the instruments to the production. All so well put together.
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
One of my very favourites from Supertramp. Thanks for reacting to it.
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.
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 "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.

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!
@@leemiracle6840 I've never listened to Roger Hodgson's solo work but it's a good suggestion. I'll check it out.
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 ❤
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 !😂
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.
This is probably my favorite song from supertramp it's so damn catchy

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.
Yes! More Supertramp!!!Logical song was the gateway reaction video that drew me in to your channel in the first place.
Supertramp is diverse, but simple to spot. If a song makes you feel happy for no apparent reason, it’s very likely Supertramp.
Great react. Supertramp is amazing. Very good albums with great songs
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."

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)
"My kind of lady" is another great song of Supertramp
You guys would really like Supertramp “School” with copious piano!
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'
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.

Awwww, this sax at the very beginning!!🥰🥰
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 !!
My 5 favorite Supertramp songs

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.
Well you have covered quite a few SuperTramp now. Now for Fools Overture, the masterpiece which will blow your mind’s
This is one of Supertramp's few songs they didn't overplay to death. I love it!
Loved this song back in the 80's. Super Tramp was a great band. Memories.
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.
Have listened to SUPERTRAMP since my teens in the early seventies and absolutely love their music still, to me they just made beautiful music.
That voice should be a clear indication that this is Supertramp..🤘😎
I've just seen one of the Righteous Brothers singing "Summertime" Wow Wow Wow..
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 this song. Thank you for doing another Supertramp reaction.
love this tune and video
Is there a regular Supertramp? Seems like every song is a different Supertramp. That's what makes them very special.
and at the end, and in the end, it rains on everyone! all of us are in that boat.
'Rudy" would be another side of Supertramp for you to explore. ☮💚🎶
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.

Listen to "Even in the quietest moments" if you haven't already. Make sure it's the studio version!!!
This one and "Dreamer" are my favourite Supertramp songs. 🎵🎼🎙
I adore this song!
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.

First heard this over Christmas break back in 1982 and loved it right away. A classic tune of my youth.
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!!
I've always loved the song even when I was little. It's definitely dark but I still love it.
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.
My favorite group ..thanks 🙂
You can never go wrong with more Supertramp 😍
Happy music always was 🙂
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.
THIS SONG WAS A BIG HIT BACK IN THOSE DAYS!
I love it!..its so refreshing!..it gives so much hope which we so need today!
My college freshman year 1st semester- this is one of the songs that always takes me back to Fall 1982! Thanks😊
Amber is joy!
Always liked this song. Great message
Although it has dark lyrics it's a very uplifting song.
Anything by Supertramp is superb. Still hoping and waiting for SCHOOL off their "Crime of the Century" album. You'll love it!
This is one of those songs that you never forget after you've heard it once. It doesn't sound like anything else.
I love this song, it always picks me up when I feel down.
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.
SUPERB CHOICE 🍾
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!!
great song, great band
I have a concert of theirs on Blu-ray, and it's my favorite Concert Blue-ray!
Another surprising sound from them is "Lord, Is It Mine?"
One of our great “happy” beat songs❤da da da da da da!!😊😊
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 went out of my way to watch all your Supertramp reactions...and liked...and support you music lovers.
Another good song by supertramp is child of vision.
"Give A Little Bit", "Goodbye, Stranger", "Take The long Way Home", "Bloody Well Right ", "Dreamer" are their best songs.
They've reacted to all 5 of those songs
From1982 their biggest hit here in Australia a top song ; peaked at 11 on our chart
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!
The first time I heard this song, I thought "I never need to hear this song again", yet here it is popping up in my life. 😂
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.
Don't you know that there is an album called "Crisis? What Crisis?", where there are monumental songs like "Just A Normal Day", "Another Man's Woman", the great "Poor Boy" or "Two Of Us", this album is a masterpiece at a time when Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies had an excellent creativity. Saludos
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.
New to the streets here, though I've lived and worked on them throughout my life. You guys amaze me. There's a little bit of both of you inside of me. Jay, with your bass and guitar riffs and Amber, your horns and the way you immerse yourself into the music. You're amazing. It's like you're so deep into it that you place yourself into the song and express the viewpoint of the singer. Anyway, if you want to really hear a different sound from Supertramp, you need to hear their song "Cannonball".
I think you'll both be surprised. You might want to check out their song "Child of Vision" too. Peace y'all.🕊
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!!!

Great song, never could get why it wasn't bigger, takes me back to about 1983 remember hearing it back then
