One of my all-time favorite Supertramp songs, if not the number one. Everything's perfect about it, especially bass line. Thanks for sharing your appreciation for Supertramp music . 💕
I grew up with this album. I was the youngest and my older siblings introduced me to it. I believe there are four bonafide hits but it’s the deep tracks that makes BIA a classic. This is one of the best closing songs of any album in my opinion.
Crown Jewel of their crown jewel album. Still fresh, still fascinating, 45(!) years later. Might be Roger Hodgson's best composition. Rick Davies on piano... I don't have the vocabulary to describe how great that solo is...John Helliwell nails his sax solo(as usual) to close out. Dougie Thomson on bass is killing it
Supertramp is an example of that very special bands who were very successful but underrated at the same time. Another example: The Kinks! JP: Thanks again for reaction, if you didn't, try the Kinks too :-) ...
I don't think Supertramp were ever underrated. In the UK, we absolutely adored them and recognised their genius. The same with The Kinks. Perhaps you are referring to the US.
@@bobholtzmann It took me years to realize that the woman on the cover was Liberty, and that the "skyscrapers of New York" in the background aren't actually buildings if you look closely enough. And then, it turns out, a few more years before I learn that I've been looking through a window all this time, while being completely unaware of it. Thanks.
Roger is playing the Wurlitzer electric piano. Rick starts out on his organ, in concert he switches to tambourine, then gets up and moves to the piano just before his vocals. John Helliwell begins with the synth and switches to his sax at the end. In 1977 I remember watching Roger sitting at the Wurlitzer electric piano listening to the Child of Vision chorus with a spotlight on him and not believing what I'm hearing. To me it was exactly like the studio recording. Edit: Sorry about the wrong year. They played that song in 1979. I saw them in 1975, 77 and 79.
I've heard from a local DJ in the past that Supertramp's sound system at their concerts was the best. I like the electric piano, but even better, Roger's playing behind the concert grand for "Take The Long Way Home" makes the song much grander.
@@bobholtzmannI saw them in 1975, 77 and 79. I wouldn't doubt that they had the best sound system. They were so tight and hit all the notes. I think Rick sounds better live than on the studio recordings.
I haven't found any direct quotes on this, but apparently "Child of Vision" is Roger Hodgson's criticism of Rick Davies, while the preceding song, "Casual Conversations" is Davies' critisism of Hodgson.
I've always really liked "Child of Vision", with its mix of release and tension that gives the track its distinctive character. Yes, Rick Davies' piano solo is very distinctive, but I also like Dougie Thomson's simple bass part, which adds emptiness and space to his playing, accentuating the rhythm and drumming. The only frustration for me comes from John Helliwell's too-short sax solo at the end, which should have continued for another minute or two before the final fade out.
This song is awesome, but it's the album closer. Aren't you doing the whole thing? There are some huge hits on it. I always thought this was the ultimate "driving at night" song. The 2-chord vamp during the piano solo is hypnotic.
One of my favorite Supertramp songs. I just love the jazzy feeling to the whole thing, particularly the ending. Simple but terrific piano work. Great song to end an album.
Thanks for mentioning my name ahahah !! It’s probably my favorite song by them along with School, Waiting so long, Crime of the Century. Supertramp is one of my 3 favorite bands with Pink Floyd and Genesis. You should listen to the full Breakfast in America album, it’s pop rock at its finest ! You had listen to « Fool’s overture » years ago I think, please can you listen to the rest of this album (Even in the quietest moments) ? Then there are also the albums « … Famous last words … » and « Brother where you bound » which deserve attention too
Supertramp has been my favourite band for almost 50 years!! Even In The Quietest Moments is a little- talked-about all-time classic album, just behind Crime of the Century IMO.
Yes, it's sunny here today, but also 12 degrees. So your call if it's a nice day or not. I'm staying in where it's warm. Absolutely love this album since it's release. It's a "semi" concept album, many of the tracks reflect their first tour of America.
I just knew you would love this. I had assumed the reason you had not reacted to anything from this album was because you had already heard it. Or perhaps you had intended to go in chronological order. Either way, nobody does Supertramp reviews quite as well - so please continue.
Superb track...and that groove... supertramp at their best in my opinion...His vocals are just sublime...you cannot move to this belter Justin. My humble opinion... Supertramp were a unbelievable band...great songs..great albums...they had it all Justin...great track ,great review butty...Child of Vision is just a masterpiece ❤❤❤
Thank you, FANTASTIC closing album track from the great "Breakfast In America." I just love the blues based jazzy piano at the end and the build up to the Saxophone. The whole album is worth it!
Gone Hollywood, the first song on this album would be a great reaction. In fact, the entire album would be a great reaction. Supertramp is always been one of my favorite bands. Thanks for the reaction, until later, have a good one❤
Love the ending of this song, the message of the lyrics is true even these days... Also. I live in UK... we see the sun for at least a week each year. 🤣
Another great songs which have few (or none) reactions in UA-cam will be Babaji and From Now On...but maybe you will react to the Even in the Quietest Moments full album later, who knows
give me the eclectic classic Even In The Quietest Moments over this but it was still Fresh as a Daisy back in 1979, especially the singles just a trifle one dimensional in it's instrumentation as an album
I was in my early 20's when Supertramp were making their early albums. I thought they were too "pop"py for me as I was more into prog/jazz/classical. Plus, songs like this one weren't played on the radio that I heard. It wasn't until I got older and went back and revisited them that I began to truly appreciate how great they were. Like Joe Jackson.
How cool is the groove on bass and drums, JP? Dougie Thompson is an underrated bassist - loves walking up and down the neck. Bob Siebenberg has tasty fills, plays with traditional grip, awesome ghost notes. They are an amazing “battery”.
@@kuhnhan Just a colloquial spelling of "tune", which also acts as an intensifier. So you could say "that's a nice tune"; or "wow, that is a *choon* ".
Happy to say I bought this on release and played it every day for at least half a year. Great album and this is the best song on it for me. A bit poppy, but who cares, quality counts. And still has my -so much loved- progressive touch to it. After the split, Hodgson created the album "In the eye of the storm". Quite a good album as well. As was "Open the door" 16 years later. Clearly he did not have the urge to create as much anymore... at least that's what his output shows. A pity. The Supertramp albums without Roger did not have the same magic anymore. "Brother Where You Bound" was the best of that series (David Gilmour did some guitar on that album).
Afternoon, Justin. Dave from London, also under Grey Skies. It's the four big singles I know best from this album, but Child of Vision I didn't know and it's terrific. Thanks to all who recommended it. P.S. my song ref Grey Skies is by Dave Stewart and Barbara Gaskin.
I know Logical Song, Breakfast in America, Long Way Home etc are all quoted as the better Supertramp songs, and they are great but this song is a diamond and for me second only to Fools Overture in their immense catalogue, if I could put one band back together to play for me live it would be them and that's huge coming from a massive Floyd fan.
The use of the sax at the end is genius in my opinion: yes, we'd like it to go on for another 10 minutes, but the sax is brilliant to wrap up the track, and the album; I can't think of a better way to end that song, as just fading out the piano probably would not work as well.
I've always thought that this song was about America; America is the child of vision. Seems that way to me anyway. Great song, great album. I bought this vinyl way back when and have always loved it.
The album is brilliant from start to finish and could do with a full review. This was, for me, initially the hardest track to get into on the album, but eventually one of the most satisfying - such a great groove. So much going on, and - as always - great lyrics. FWIW I get similar vibes on their earlier song "The Meaning" again, a more difficult but very rewarding listen.
Great song from my favourite band that has thankfully grown in stature over the decades. The epitome of keyboard playing by Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies. Almost the entire Breakfast In America is amazing - title track is catchy bubblegum pop - but having said that it is only their third best album behind Even In the Quietest Moments and their best LP, the greatest album of all time, Crime of the Century.
When I first heard this album this was not my favorite. I has since (IMO) turned into one of the best song on it! “Breakfast” and “Paris” turned me on to SUPERTRAMP and still one of my GoTo’s! Now my girlfriend has become a fan as well! Great song JP!
Middle lyrics are a battle, more or less, btwn Roger's spiritual philosophy & Rick's more down to earth pessimistic one. - Roger, far as I know, wrote all the lyrics, but if so captured Rick's views succinctly-Rick sang them after all. - Rick's fairly extended piano ending(was the better player by far on that instrument after all) are super! - Is a great-& greatly placed-closing to a great closing album by the band at their zenith!
As a grown 'child', I would wake up and go to work with the old 'American breakfast', coffee, and cigs. But my more mature edition must rise and have some nutrition! It would be the Crime of the Century to skip Breakfast in America or Paris for that matter. Not a good way to Stay Alive in England! Peace and crumpets.
hey man, YOU HAVEEE TO DO THE WHOLE ALBUM especially the first track, there's not many reactions to gone hollywood which is VERY underrated. PLEASE do it. Thank you
i like this episode,this song is beautiful!here is sugestion,something realy diferent,try children of sanchez,chuck mangione,14min version..gretings from serbia!sory for bad english..
I follow this channel because of Supertramp and Prefab Sprout reactions. And you haven't reacted to Prefab Sprout in a whole year I think 😢 Please react to the album Jordan the comeback
Now I am not that much a fans of theirs, I've just their first record because of the contribution of one certain Richard Palmer-James there. This song here reminds me of a long forgotten Alan Parsons Project track, which is per se nothing bad at all. Maybe Alan Parsons did listen to Supertramp a fair lot, I don't know.
This is the only track on this album that I skip. Vocals and instruments are performed and recorded beautifully. The composition is where it loses me. The incessant notes on the keys feel almost juvenile to me, and not in a way that supports the "child" theme. The singing in the verse is choppy and not very melodic. What I like least is the chorus with the drawn out syllables. I just find it tedious. The rest of the album, and just about every other track I have heard of Supertramp I find very entertaining and full of great details. If this song were strictly instrumental, starting with where the vocals end, I would like it more, though we are still left with that base of fast keyboard. I see that others consider this the best track on the album. It's funny how songs can hit us so differently. I hope you continue to enjoy it. I still have a decent amount of unexplored Supertramp that I look forward to experiencing.
Could you tell me why Supertramp are 3 albums superior to Queen. You may not like them, but there are viewers out here positively aching for some classic Queen. 'Sheer Heart Attack' and 'Dragon Attack'. How lucky we are!
This is one of their best songs, and Breakfast In America is a fantastic album.
One of my all-time favorite Supertramp songs, if not the number one. Everything's perfect about it, especially bass line. Thanks for sharing your appreciation for Supertramp music . 💕

I don't think Supertramp were ever underrated. In the UK, we absolutely adored them and recognised their genius. The same with The Kinks. Perhaps you are referring to the US.
This is my favorite track on their masterpiece album.
Their music was ART !! Forever my fav Band ❤❤❤
I like this album. It may be somewhat commercial but that’s just fine with me. Great songwriting, execution, and production.
The Diner theme for the album package is incredible well done, too. The cover image, you may notice, is the view from an airliner window.
@@bobholtzmann It took me years to realize that the woman on the cover was Liberty, and that the "skyscrapers of New York" in the background aren't actually buildings if you look closely enough.
And then, it turns out, a few more years before I learn that I've been looking through a window all this time, while being completely unaware of it. Thanks.

I always thought the piano was a Fender Rhodes ! I was wrong clearly! Lol
@@davidnorman4923Supertramp are know as THE Wurlitzer band 😉
45 years later and I can still listen to that piano riff over and over again!
Ugh, this is just sooooo good. Another one I think you would love is "even in the quietest moments".
Best song ever made in my opinion. It blows my mind every time, and I’ve listened to it hundreds of times now
I haven't found any direct quotes on this, but apparently "Child of Vision" is Roger Hodgson's criticism of Rick Davies, while the preceding song, "Casual Conversations" is Davies' critisism of Hodgson.
That's what I got from it as well.
Yep ! He said there is a slight possibility that he subconsciously had Rick Davies in mind while writing the lyrics.
That is the narrative behind both songs
I've always really liked "Child of Vision", with its mix of release and tension that gives the track its distinctive character. Yes, Rick Davies' piano solo is very distinctive, but I also like Dougie Thomson's simple bass part, which adds emptiness and space to his playing, accentuating the rhythm and drumming.

@@Paul-Martin_67 Yep, that rushed ending is like coitus interruptus !😞
@@Paul-Martin_67 Quite right! "Losing It" ends abruptly and awkwardly, as if the band didn't know how to end their song.

Songs like this epitomise Supertramp's virtuosity- supreme musicians and unbelievable songwriting skills....another banger JP!!
Breakfast in America: One Great Play. As all there albums are worthy of listening to and enjoy
AT LAST! Best song ever for me. The quintessence of Supertramp in one song. GORGEOUS!!!!!!
This song puts me in a trance in such a good way.
Although I don't recall hearing this great song on the radio, there are a lot of radio classics on Breakfast in America
Ooooooh! Cloudy day here too and this brightened up my day massively!
Nice track, and since this is the last track of the album, we should now rewind and hear it from the beginning, with "Gone Hollywood".
Yes, it's sunny here today, but also 12 degrees. So your call if it's a nice day or not. I'm staying in where it's warm. Absolutely love this album since it's release. It's a "semi" concept album, many of the tracks reflect their first tour of America.
Saw them do this live in 84’… crazy good
masterpiece . when the saxo's going down at the end , we can feel that the guys will continue jamming without us ... SAD
The first number 1 album from this band in USA and 2 grammy awards. Masterpiece
This might be my all time fave Supertramp song, on what's easily their best album.

Thomson/Siebenberg - what a rhythm section! 👍
Dougie Thomson is one of the most criminally underrated bassists ever!
