The whole "Crime of the Century" album is fantastic. Every song is just amazing and they're all related. Not only is every song great, it's also beautifully arranged and the production is top-notch. Also, you can't go wrong with Supertramp. Bloody brilliant band.
My go to electric piano sound when writing, especially with a little grit. I love the Rhodes sound too but I always want to go mellow. If I only I had room for the real thing and a Fender Twin!
That bark! You don't often get that with a Fender Rhodes or a Hohner Clavinet. Yes, the Wurli is very distinctive, yes, that snapping bark when you jump on the keys!
The Wurlitzer electronic piano is an electric piano manufactured and marketed by Wurlitzer from 1954 to 1983. Sound is generated by striking a metal reed with a hammer, which induces an electric current in a pickup. It is conceptually similar to the Rhodes piano, though the sound is different.
@@paulgillespie542 thanks Paul but I pasted it from Wikipedia because I know that sound because my piano player used one in the seventies. It’s a beautiful unforgettable tone.
Rick and Roger are very much the ying and yang of the band. Roger’s songs are more philosophical while Rick’s songs are more cynical. They are different people with different viewpoints about life and love, but it’s the combination of both their strengths and abilities that make Supertramp what it is.
I was in a 70s prog tribute for a bit and the few shows we closed with Goodbye Stranger are some of my favorite performance moments. Such a great song.
Absolutely, I was thinking the same thing. Vocally brilliant. I hope to see her do an analysis of Goodbye Stranger, and also Give a Little Bit, just as a feel good fun song.
Yes, the original album version had that opening. I recommend you listen to it and compare. What an amazing talent! All of them! Mr Davies is 79 years of age.. and apparently still playing music after a serious health scare a few years ago. Growing up listening to these guys was great! I just loved how boppy they were!
Do drummers have a natural rhythm that they carry in life? You reminded me of a behind tge scenes thing from princess mononoke. Someone was talking about how good billy Bob was at speaking english onto a japanese-animated mouth, in the movie dub. Because he had a way of trotting out the phrases so rhythmically. He's a drummer too.
I've been a huge Supertramp fan for decades, I always toss in a few covers when my band plays. Usually This one (Bloody Well Right) and School. We have 2 keyboard players which makes it logically feasible 😉 My favorite to play as a keyboard player is absolutely "Ain't Nobody But Me"
This was one of my dad’s favourite songs. I haven’t been able to listen to it for a couple years now. But when Elizabeth drops a new video, you watch it! It was wonderful to see you enjoy this incredible piece of music. ❤
Elizabeth, Rick's most famous Supertramp hit is 'Goodbye Stranger.' He sings a nice falsetto on the chorus, you'd like it. But it's best on the album recording.
I love horn sections in rock too. Thats why I have always loved bands like Chicago, The Doobie Brothers, Phil Collins solo work, and, of course, Supertramp.
This video inspired a deep dive into Supertramps music on Spotify, and I honestly had no idea how much of their music I knew and could sing word for word 😂 My parents listened to a lot of classic rock, so as a kid in the 80s I just kind of absorbed what they listened to without really knowing what it was. Supertramp, The Who, Pink Floyd, Steve Miller Band, Electric Light Orchestra, ZZ Top, Led Zeppelin... It's been fun to rediscover a lot of these bands in adulthood and the core childhood memories the songs bring up for me
I listened to Supertramp practically non-stop in the late 70s, one of my absolute favourites! Would love to hear Elizabeth’s analysis of Talk Talk’s It’s My Life - Mark Hollis had the most amazing voice
Yeah I'm a little sad she mostly reacts to live versions, the studio version is better in a lot of cases, Supertramp included. Stairway to heaven is another example, like 95% of all reactors choose the live version, although the studio version is WAY better.
@@_Shadoh_it’s unfortunate that they want the visuals to go with the song in these reactions as personally I really don’t like live versions of songs 99% of the time, there’s a reason why they choose to release the particular studio version they did as they made the best version they could at the time and it was good enough to set in stone as it were, with live versions they change stuff quite often and unsurprisingly you can’t expect them to do it to the same quality either.
I agree with all of you, but since she is a vocal based channel, it makes since she does the live version, so she can get their natural voice on its own . But I do wish she would do the studio version first.
One of my favorite songs isn't even on the radar for most people when they think of SuperTramp. "Oh Darling " when I first heard it sent a chill down my back and a smile on my face. Definatly one of their best songs.
There's so much to love in that song. Rick and Roger both singing falsettos (I think). The way the drums don't come in until after the piano intro, and again how they're held back in the bars before the bridge. The harmonies in the verses. So much to love!
I've been listening to Super Tramp since "Crime of the Century" came out. Bloody Well Right, School, Dreamer...OMG, one of my Fav bands for sure. Never heard them live, their studio work is magnificent. Live is different but so good!
My favorite Supertramp song from the first time I heard it when it first came out. Conjures up sitting in my attic bedroom listening to it on the radio the first time I heard it. every time I hear it now. Playful, yes. I'd never heard them described that way before, but yes, it's exactly that. Glad you finally got to this one. And yes, Roger on the guitar and he's terrific. That is what makes the song for me.
Every time you discover one of my favorites, and I get to hear it again for the very first time, vicariously, through your earholes.... you're ability to express and convey wonder is infectious.
Fool's Overture absolutely HAS to be next. Particular the version Roger did with a full symphony orchestra, the way he composed it to be. Genuinely brilliant composition.
Back to supertramp! They have so many good songs, i dont know which ones to advise to do first… i am just gonna enjoy whichever ones you choose to look at
Hard to argue. Along with what, though? Joni Mitchell's "Blue", definitely. John Martyn's "Solid Air", quite likely. But what about Barclay James Harvest's "Early Morning Onwards" or the Strawbs' "From the Wichwood"...
My Father has been dead a while, but we still have his piano....he was of the generation of people in England who had a piano in their house, like we have computers....my Father could play anything you want, because it was how he grew up in his family....so if I hummed a tune to him, he would sit at the piano and play it with one hand and say "is this what you mean?"
"nerding out" Elizabeth is the best Elizabeth as you explain so much in an easy way to understand and you can see how much passion you have, thank you so much
Seeing the title and song immediately made my mind play this song at volume loud in my head. I wonder how long this will play for. This is an ear wurm easily stuck on repeat.
Now we’re getting somewhere , this is the Supertramp we were all excited about in 1975 ,76 , and 2 years later it was clarinet solos , but that summer, bloody well right was captivating
I'm a new subscriber, lover of music of all genres, and a vocal nerd wannabe! I adore your reactions and learn so much about my voice and how it works. Just saying thank you! Keep slaying Elizabeth!! ☮️💜☮️💜☮️💜☮️💜
The piano intro is in the studio version, but he definitely improvised it here. One of the best live shows I have ever seen. That was 1977. Such a great time for music. Crisis? What Crisis?, Crime of the Century and Even in the Quietest Moments are so good it's impossible to choose a best.
Saw them live 1978-79 era in Market Square Arena in Indianapolis Indiana. No doubt the best live performance I’ve seen by a band. They played some old stuff and new as well. When I want to chill, I’ll put my headphones on and listen to the Crime of the Century album. Still in my top 5 albums of all time. It moves me! Thanks for choosing Supertramp.
Love the song and that was such a great performance. And singing through a cone like that was actually a big thing before PA systems in some kinds of music. Rudy Vallee when he was young was a heartthrob, and my grandma told me she got to go see him when she was 14 years old, and all the girls would jockey for position in front of the stage to look down the length of the cone, where they could see his lips as he sang, lol. 😊
Finally Elizabeth! I've been waiting for this since the end of May when you told me you were reacting to it. I'm excited to hear what you think about Rick's singing and Roger's guitar playing. Even though I work during the day, I am going to try to listen to it on my break and lunch because I don't think I can wait until I get home.
The combination of this great band with your insights, appreciation and delighted responses Elizabeth, is just irresistible. I fall more in love with music and with your channel with every viewing.
They are awesome, but I probably couldn’t put them in a top 5 unless I grouped different styles like Hard Rock, blues, jazzy blues, progressive, etc, they would definitely be in a top 5 for me. About 25 years ago they came to Tulsa, OK and for some reason not very many people showed up (maybe 5-6,000 but holds about 15k for concerts) and everyone was so disappointed, but they played as if the place was packed?
@@lantose Totally understand your point. Im a 49 yo former guitar teacher and always musician of course but from my Youth (9/10 yo) listening to "music" ( Peter Gabriel, genesis, Phil Collins, Aerosmith, ZAPPA with Bozzio and VAI, Classical, Alan parson s Project, And so many, at the age of 9/10 and more) and it really impacted me. Globally. And if i pointed the Top 5 for Supertramp is because, the song "Crime of the century" ( the song, not the whole album) literally made me collapse as a kid ultra sensitive to music also i m born not understanding english langage. But the whole piece literally hit my soul. Also School, piano solo, and logical son that made me sort of anxiousness as a young kid but can't help playing it( as "one night in bangkok" from Murray Head, love it but anxiousness listening too as a kid and many more same feelings. So when a band and their music, touched me so deeply as a kid, musically receptively born, with 40 years of experience, i put them on a Top 5.
@@girs666 I’m 69 and started out with the Beatles, Kinks, Hermans Hermits, Animals, Steppenwolf, Who, Rolling Stones, Jimmy Hendrix, Jethro Tull, etc and any new band that hit the radio back in the mid to late 60’s. Then the 70’s where I can’t name them all, so there were and are too many incredible bands and music to put them in my top 5, though I really like their music! Most everyone back then growing up were into Rock ‘n Roll, Southern Rock and Progressive, Blues. Hope you have a wonderful day!
I got to chance a couple of years ago to tour with a bloody good Supertramp coverband called “Supertrap”… I’m not only glad that I got the chance to work with amazing musicians but also I’m very thankful for getting to know in dept the music of Supertramp!
I agree with your suggestion Alice Cooper is always a win, but i disagree with your song choices. I am a huge Ali e fan I have seen him live several times. Alice is not a “good” singer he is a very stylized singer. I have seen Elizabeth turned off to a performer because of a sub par vocal performance despite is being a very popular song. So I’d suggest a little more vocal craft oriented song like “Milli and Billi” or just about anything off Trash maybe “poison” as over played as it is for me.
I think Elizabeth might prefer his voice on something like "Hello Hooray" or "Elected", or even a ballad like "I Never Cry" or "Only Women Bleed"...The studio versions of these songs are great examples of "proto-harsh" vocals from one of the pioneers and masters of the craft. Even something like "I'm Eighteen" is a fine example of using harshness to convey emotion.
I saw these gentlemen in Paris, 1979 - five years after their seminal, 'Crime Of The Century' album's release; there's not a duff track on this album, & the engineering is superlative (no digital remastering required), because, quite frankly, you cannot improve upon excellence - & that is replicated in their live performances (plus nuanced pitchiness). If you haven't yet listened to, 'Hide In Your Shell' (same album), then I highly recommend same. I always enjoy your analyses, but particularly those from Supertramp, Best to you & yours, Andrew.
Thanks. I've been fan of Supertramp since this album. But it wasn't until the Charismatic Voice that my brother has shown Supertramp the respect they deserve.
Haven't heard this song in ages; yet another one that makes me want to be the DJ of a radio show bringing all these old songs back to radio audiences today. I do remember how much I enjoyed singing the "You're bloody well right!" part as a kid; I think this dates back to my preteen years when I was just absorbing whatever music my older sister was buying and playing.
Rick's rhythmic voice comes from the fact that he started as a drummer before he switched to piano. Also that megaphone has "Right!" on one side and "QUITE RIGHT!" on the other to help lead the crowd.
That was a fun reaction! Supertramp is amazing and they give you so much to react to and analyze. Every time, you help me realize how brilliant they were!
The intro to the song was included in the studio version. I believe it was a bit shorter - 51 seconds, but without doubt it was much better in the studio version.
I was lucky enough to see Supertramp on the last night of their last tour before breaking up. They exchanged gold watches on stage, very emotional. Give A Little Bit got a huge mega standing ovation. Irvine Meadows - Famous Last Words tour.
I remember first hearing this track in around 1975 as a 12 year old, and feeling like a real deviant, singing such strong swear words "bloody well right" out loud!! LOL
FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Im glad that she can finally see the other singer rick davies. He and roger have such different voices yet they are both so unique and interesting
Something I realise from Elizabeth's reactions and analysis is what amazing musical taste I had 45 years ago when I was 15 or 16. Supertramp was my absolute favourite band, right from Crime of the Century (which is 50 years old this year), though Pink Floyd and Queen were close behind. Both Supertramp and Queen had fabulous live albums in 1979 (Paris, as you're watching here, and Queen's "Live Killers".
Great you discovered Supertramp. I grew up with their music, and their sound is one reason I took up learning the saxophone. Hope I‘ll be as good as John Helliwell one day … 🎉 we all need some inspiration, don‘t we …
The whole "Crime of the Century" album is fantastic. Every song is just amazing and they're all related. Not only is every song great, it's also beautifully arranged and the production is top-notch.
Also, you can't go wrong with Supertramp. Bloody brilliant band.
Bloody Well right said!
I still have the album Im 66
One of my first albums
@@jamesreding6336 I also have the original vinyl and went to see them when they were touring Crime of The Century in the early 70s
Quite Right!
The Wurlitzer electric piano is a signature part of Supertramp's sound.
My go to electric piano sound when writing, especially with a little grit. I love the Rhodes sound too but I always want to go mellow. If I only I had room for the real thing and a Fender Twin!
It allows for such a playful style of playing. It simply sounds joyful and playful.
A200
That bark! You don't often get that with a Fender Rhodes or a Hohner Clavinet. Yes, the Wurli is very distinctive, yes, that snapping bark when you jump on the keys!
it may be a Kurzweil. not sure
The Wurlitzer electronic piano is an electric piano manufactured and marketed by Wurlitzer from 1954 to 1983. Sound is generated by striking a metal reed with a hammer, which induces an electric current in a pickup. It is conceptually similar to the Rhodes piano, though the sound is different.
Really, at the time, a question of choosing the instrument for its sound, as polyphonic synthesizers didn’t yet exist (aside from string machines).
What you said better than I could. ❤
@@paulgillespie542 thanks Paul but I pasted it from Wikipedia because I know that sound because my piano player used one in the seventies. It’s a beautiful unforgettable tone.
Elizabeth you sould hear " Fools Overture" from Supertramp.........it's a mastrpiece !! Greetings from Montréal.
Agreed!
Agreed 😊
Oui😊
Absolutely
Great song! But you can justifiably say you should hear virtually any Super Tramp song and it's a masterpiece!
Supertramp are one of the most underrated bands of all time. They are amazing.
I totally agree. It’s the crime of the century! 😊
You're only saying that because it's 2024. That certainly wasn't the case in 1979. ;-)
They have never been underrated!!!
I've often said that Supertramp is every Dad's second favourite band
@@BlackGuardXIII 😅

They are different people with different viewpoints about life and love, but it’s the combination of both their strengths and abilities that make Supertramp what it is.
Well said - Completely agree
Yes and Roger is the dreamer, Rick more grounded, and Rick more blues-influenced... the mix was perfect!
Halliwell is a great complement to both, and the drums are incredible.
@@coco_bold Sure is/are!! And let's throw in Dough Thompsons bass as well just to make it complete. It was a very solid band.
@@jans724 you are right the bass is impressive
Goodbye Stranger is awesome.
Yes she NEEDS to do this one.
I was in a 70s prog tribute for a bit and the few shows we closed with Goodbye Stranger are some of my favorite performance moments. Such a great song.
School ain't bad either
@thecharismaticvoice you'd love this one (Goodbye Stranger). Rick sings the chorus in a great falsetto.
Absolutely, I was thinking the same thing. Vocally brilliant. I hope to see her do an analysis of Goodbye Stranger, and also Give a Little Bit, just as a feel good fun song.
One of the reasons I love watching your videos is you're such a happy person. It gives off great vibes.
True, that!

What an amazing talent! All of them!
Mr Davies is 79 years of age.. and apparently still playing music after a serious health scare a few years ago.
Growing up listening to these guys was great! I just loved how boppy they were!
You are right that the original recording has that opening, but it's shorter and also the ending is extended on this recording.
Rick Davies was originally a drummer. Love the way you emphasize the rhythm aspect of his singing.
Do drummers have a natural rhythm that they carry in life? You reminded me of a behind tge scenes thing from princess mononoke. Someone was talking about how good billy Bob was at speaking english onto a japanese-animated mouth, in the movie dub. Because he had a way of trotting out the phrases so rhythmically. He's a drummer too.
I'm pretty sure Elizabeth has reached the point where she now knows that Supertramp is the legendary group they are made out to be.
You don't see many bands doing cover versions of Supertramp songs.
That says it all for me...............and I'm bloody well right about it! ;)
Sounds Logical to me
"Give A Little Bit" has been widely covered.
I've been a huge Supertramp fan for decades, I always toss in a few covers when my band plays. Usually This one (Bloody Well Right) and School. We have 2 keyboard players which makes it logically feasible 😉 My favorite to play as a keyboard player is absolutely "Ain't Nobody But Me"

Elizabeth, Rick's most famous Supertramp hit is 'Goodbye Stranger.' He sings a nice falsetto on the chorus, you'd like it. But it's best on the album recording.
Roger has always said it stemmed from Rick trying to "take him off" so to speak, and Roger felt it was so cool he asked Rick to keep it.
That's an awesome song!
I love horn sections in rock too. Thats why I have always loved bands like Chicago, The Doobie Brothers, Phil Collins solo work, and, of course, Supertramp.
Love the jazzy feel of the intro and the headbanger it resolves into. "It's Raining Again" is another great one from Supertramp, Elizabeth.

Even in The quietest Moments gives me goosebumps every time. It's such a brilliant execution of vocals and emotion.

Ditto never heard the live version and love it for its difference.
Hide in Your Shell. Asylum. Crime of The Century. School. All from this most underrated live album.

Back to supertramp! They have so many good songs, i dont know which ones to advise to do first… i am just gonna enjoy whichever ones you choose to look at
You're really missing out by not hearing their studio recordings. They are amazing.
Love this, Crime of the Century in my mind is honestly one of the greatest albums of all time
Hard to argue. Along with what, though? Joni Mitchell's "Blue", definitely. John Martyn's "Solid Air", quite likely. But what about Barclay James Harvest's "Early Morning Onwards" or the Strawbs' "From the Wichwood"...

Sounds like a great show, nice!

How Freaking Awesome that must have been!

Supertramp is one of my all time favorite 1970s bands with the all the jazz influences in their music.
Great band! I'm happy to know people do actually give them recognition.
"Write your problems down in detail, take em' to a higher place" One of my favorite rock vocals of all all time!

Same. I don't know most of the lyrics, but the "Bloody Well Right" on repeat in my head
The chorus immediately started looping in my head.
“Oh Darling” is another of my personal favorites. ❤
Their first 4 albums are absolute perfection. Id love to see you do a video on a song from "crisis? What crisis?" Some day
Now we’re getting somewhere , this is the Supertramp we were all excited about in 1975 ,76 , and 2 years later it was clarinet solos , but that summer, bloody well right was captivating
The intro on Crime of the Century is a different improvisation but equally good. Supertramp were immensely talented
One of my favorite piano intros of all time..
This is a Jam. All day. All night. Turn it up to 11 when ever it's on.
"Old Brown Shoes" is a fantastic showcase for Rick's singing. And songwriting for that matter!

First song to catch my attention to Supertramp, back in the day, it was a different world.
They are having a lot of "live fun" in this recording . They are tight !!!
You can get a indication Supertramp is a British band, I'm pretty sure I'm Bloody Well Right "
Aussies say that too..... but yep they're quite quintessentially British methinks.
They’re a very British band.

When I was 16 I had this in my 8 track player in my 1967 camero.
Same here, but in my 1967 fastback Mustang!

And if i pointed the Top 5 for Supertramp is because, the song "Crime of the century" ( the song, not the whole album) literally made me collapse as a kid ultra sensitive to music also i m born not understanding english langage. But the whole piece literally hit my soul. Also School, piano solo, and logical son that made me sort of anxiousness as a young kid but can't help playing it( as "one night in bangkok" from Murray Head, love it but anxiousness listening too as a kid and many more same feelings. So when a band and their music, touched me so deeply as a kid, musically receptively born, with 40 years of experience, i put them on a Top 5.
@@girs666 I’m 69 and started out with the Beatles, Kinks, Hermans Hermits, Animals, Steppenwolf, Who, Rolling Stones, Jimmy Hendrix, Jethro Tull, etc and any new band that hit the radio back in the mid to late 60’s. Then the 70’s where I can’t name them all, so there were and are too many incredible bands and music to put them in my top 5, though I really like their music! Most everyone back then growing up were into Rock ‘n Roll, Southern Rock and Progressive, Blues. Hope you have a wonderful day!
Goodbye stranger has to come next. It shows off rick and rogers high voice’s off perfectly
Also John.
I couldn't click on this reaction fast enough!!!!!
I got to chance a couple of years ago to tour with a bloody good Supertramp coverband called “Supertrap”… I’m not only glad that I got the chance to work with amazing musicians but also I’m very thankful for getting to know in dept the music of Supertramp!
Goodbye Stranger i think is their best sing with so many harmonies. Please react to this song next.
Hearing this as a freshman in High School, was my introduction to Supertramp ! Great band !😎😎😎
My favourite Supertramp composition.
Roger is such an interesting guitarist, I love it when he switches over from the keys. Such tasty playing. ❤. Thank you.
Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Baby, School's Out, or Poison are fabulous songs to be looked at. Especially since she loves Dio as much as she does.
I agree with your suggestion Alice Cooper is always a win, but i disagree with your song choices. I am a huge Ali e fan I have seen him live several times. Alice is not a “good” singer he is a very stylized singer. I have seen Elizabeth turned off to a performer because of a sub par vocal performance despite is being a very popular song. So I’d suggest a little more vocal craft oriented song like “Milli and Billi” or just about anything off Trash maybe “poison” as over played as it is for me.
I think Elizabeth might prefer his voice on something like "Hello Hooray" or "Elected", or even a ballad like "I Never Cry" or "Only Women Bleed"...The studio versions of these songs are great examples of "proto-harsh" vocals from one of the pioneers and masters of the craft. Even something like "I'm Eighteen" is a fine example of using harshness to convey emotion.
the 1983 recording in Germany with added sax player scotty page is my favorite
So much talent in this band. They were so amazing live also.
Supertramp is the quintessential example of the sum being greater than the parts.
I saw these gentlemen in Paris, 1979 - five years after their seminal, 'Crime Of The Century' album's release; there's not a duff track on this album, & the engineering is superlative (no digital remastering required), because, quite frankly, you cannot improve upon excellence - & that is replicated in their live performances (plus nuanced pitchiness). If you haven't yet listened to, 'Hide In Your Shell' (same album), then I highly recommend same.
I always enjoy your analyses, but particularly those from Supertramp,
Best to you & yours,
Andrew.
It was always exciting to hear those keys because you knew what was coming on the radio.
Thanks. I've been fan of Supertramp since this album. But it wasn't until the Charismatic Voice that my brother has shown Supertramp the respect they deserve.
Haven't heard this song in ages; yet another one that makes me want to be the DJ of a radio show bringing all these old songs back to radio audiences today. I do remember how much I enjoyed singing the "You're bloody well right!" part as a kid; I think this dates back to my preteen years when I was just absorbing whatever music my older sister was buying and playing.
I love the way you get me to re-listen to a song in a way I never would have considered. And your enthusiasm for the music is so apparent to me.
Supertramp were a mighty mighty force. And sometimes extremely funny as well. So much more than a rock band!
Rick's rhythmic voice comes from the fact that he started as a drummer before he switched to piano. Also that megaphone has "Right!" on one side and "QUITE RIGHT!" on the other to help lead the crowd.
This is exactly why I love jazz....Supertramp and Steely Dan were huge influences in me gravitating toward jazz.
That was a fun reaction! Supertramp is amazing and they give you so much to react to and analyze. Every time, you help me realize how brilliant they were!
The intro to the song was included in the studio version. I believe it was a bit shorter - 51 seconds, but without doubt it was much better in the studio version.
I was lucky enough to see Supertramp on the last night of their last tour before breaking up. They exchanged gold watches on stage, very emotional. Give A Little Bit got a huge mega standing ovation. Irvine Meadows - Famous Last Words tour.
They are playing it super fast. Much faster than the original recording.
I remember first hearing this track in around 1975 as a 12 year old, and feeling like a real deviant, singing such strong swear words "bloody well right" out loud!! LOL
Seriously, there is no such thing as a bad Supertramp song. They are just so incredibly talented and fun.
FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Im glad that she can finally see the other singer rick davies. He and roger have such different voices yet they are both so unique and interesting
Something I realise from Elizabeth's reactions and analysis is what amazing musical taste I had 45 years ago when I was 15 or 16. Supertramp was my absolute favourite band, right from Crime of the Century (which is 50 years old this year), though Pink Floyd and Queen were close behind. Both Supertramp and Queen had fabulous live albums in 1979 (Paris, as you're watching here, and Queen's "Live Killers".
A great song, a great bunch of artists! Loved your reaction ❤️🙏
A lot of great supertramp albums are being mentioned in the comments, my favourite would have to probably be “Even In The Quietest Moments”
Great you discovered Supertramp. I grew up with their music, and their sound is one reason I took up learning the saxophone. Hope I‘ll be as good as John Helliwell one day … 🎉 we all need some inspiration, don‘t we …
It's so interesting to me to learn the why of the songs I enjoyed in my youth were so enjoyable.
I was there for the premiere and it started off so fast I checked out. Now here I am like a week or so later and I'm actually enjoying it
