The commentator referring to a 'Roland' keyboard - it was actually a Wurlitzer A200 electric piano - which is then demonstrated by some joker on a Korg X3 using all the wrong chord inversions! At least if you're going to be 'technical' - a laudable aspiration - please get it right...
Magic on Vinyl. Saw Supertramp in St.Louis, 12 May 1977. Very fun and entertaining shows. 🍌someone was dressed up as a banana dancing across the stage.😂😂😂, Good ol' Days...😊
Arguably, the best Album every released and without a doubt, one of the Bands that ever existed. I have vivid memiries of listening to COTC in Residence with my friends for the first time and having my mind blown. I'm a Canuck and loved RnR from the mid-60s through the '70s with Stones, Beatles, Cream, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Uriah Hea etc and THEN I hear Supertramp. The more i listened to Crime Of The Century the more I appreciated every piece part that made them magic.
It's because just so many people out there these days, certainly more than in the past, are simply careless readers and don't give a shit about getting things quite right, which is a shame. It's disrespectful to one's own language for one thing, and although I don't want to make it too political and issue as such, that does slightly reek of the modern woke, 'if it's Western, (English in this case) then it must be inherently bad'. I'm not suggesting these commentators all think that consciously, - infact I'd wager that at least 2 or 3 of them really don't, but nonetheless, there's an unconscious mind of carelessness that has affected people from that kind of pervasive leftism nowadays. Also of course, there's the fact that everyone's computer just corrects their written words these days and for a few years now, which, means therefore that people aren't careful about being precise with either written or spoken words these days. Not as much as basically educated people used to be at any rate. When you think about it, it's surely got to be a certainty that all these commentators have been listening to Supertramp records and reading the covers with the credits on them etc, for a long time, and really should know that he's a Davies, not a Davis. I've known it since I first listened to them. It's a strange carelessness I feel and one that agree is annoying, because it's too easy to get write, and so unnecessary! Or modern intellectual laziness in the West is something I do not like. It's not just a case of old fart thinks it was better in his day either. It is all part of a gradual decline in the pride in our Western culture, and the resulting deterioration of our standards that goes with. There are many worse aspects of it in society that laziness over name spellings too, but it's all there to be seen. The decline of a civilization? One can't help seriously wondering. There are so many pointers to it, and relatively recently, due to certain things I've been reading and various thinkers/speakers I've been listening to, I've come to understand that it is indeed part of a decline that's been instigated and subtly pushed by the toxic left, beginning in education and consequently growing to infect our governance and corporate leadership, that dates mainly/significantly back to the civil rights movement in the USA in the 1960s, that gained the left a really strong foothold, in academia especially, when the increasingly closeted, (at the time) European communists, Marxists obviously, and Postmodernist academics emigrated from France and Germany, - The Sorbon and The Frankfurt School, to the USA, where they could have more freedom to push their agendas through educated, with McCarthyism having calmed down somewhat by this stage, and the general culture of the US looking to rebuild certain aspects of itself. The final end of Jim Crow laws came about, thankfully, but at the same time Lyndon Johnson decided to make poor black communities, (still the vast majority of them) dependant on government financial assistance , with the rules associated with that not being healthy, or even in any kind of long-term interests of the black American population in general, which quite quickly even led to less self-determinism, work ethics, and personal pride among black people than had been the case even while Jim Crow laws and segregation had been in place, which is infact historically documented and demonstrably true today, even though the generally accepted narrative insists that the opposite is true. Welfare took awake what independence black people had, which was considerable even with decidedly limited opportunities for advancement available to them in those days especially. These resulted in cultural apathy and dysfunction and the fast erosion of the family, with single motherhood soaring along with an extreme decline of active fatherhood. That all wasn't so helpful, even though one tends to think of the civil rights movement as having been good for black America, which obviously in numerous ways it was, but the opposite was also true in other ways. Around this time America's finest universities essentially started to become increasingly infiltrated by Marxism imported straight from Europe, from where they were very happy to escape, as by this time, general public of Western Europe was starting to learn more about Communism, and beginning to see through the propagandistic deceptions of the USSR, largely thanks to people like for example number one, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and his publication his great work, The Gulag Archipelago, which brought so much brilliantly analysed and disseminated brutal truth about the Soviet Communist system, and effectively helping to eradicate a lot of lies and misconceptions about the supposedly just and fair Communist society. America however, was a large, extremely wealthy nation of comfortable, affluent people with a developing taste for virtue signalling, in combination with a lot of poor, with festering resentments regarding their situation, and past injustices, and lots social, racial, and political tensions about. It was a cultural environment ripe for the subtle, clever manipulations of intelligent, scholastic Marxists in the form of university professors, determined to build a strong activist base, and offer their students a cleverly constructed, (albeit with a foolishly naive understanding of essential human nature), narrative full of supposed reasons why Western civilization is essentially bad, and inevitably full of systemic, as well as unconscious white supremacy and racism, much of which still did exist at the time. However, as the real cultural healing and move towards racial equality and equality of opportunity was developing through the better understanding and essential good will of the people, who at heart were basically decent people for whom real racism had gradually grown out of their bloodline, or who'd learnt that racial fear and suspicion breads racial prejudice and anger when the fears are unfounded and based on lies, or who had simply never been remotely racist at any stage anyway, 1:07:53
What was the reform album in the late '80s called? Cannonball? That was one of the tracks, and David Gilmour guest appeared on it quite extensively. I thoughf it was a damn good album when i had the record back in the '90s and played it quite a bit. I had most of their records at the time, and had really enjoyed them, and still really respected them, bit i was over the early albums by then, but really enjoyed that later album with Cannonball on it still. Certainly the Gilmour work on it was really good too. The cover had the image of the sequence of ape walking and provressivesly standing up into man. Mayne it was called Cannonball, but im not certain. They were a clever and interesting and creative band of excellent musicians for sure, but they certainly have dated in a way some other great bands of those days haven't. Partly i think, because they were a dramatic and almost operatic sounding band but were also going with a pretty fashionably hip pop sound for the times as well, and as an overall musical package, they haven't achieved a timelessness about their music that a lot of othee great music acts of that era did. Very good nevertheless, and Hodgson and Davies were both very talented writers without doubt.

In case you’re here for Supertramp in concert with interviews, it’s just a bunch of random talking heads.
Wore out the vinyl on this one, Quietest Moments as well
Why do most of these commentators call him Rick DAVIS? It's Rick *DAVIES* !!!

Замечательная команда была!
Все альбомы хороши (до "Breackfast in America").
Breackfast хорош в коммерческом плане, но именно с этого альбома музыка упростилась, сказала такой предсказуемой, что-то потеряла, шарм что-ли. 5:27
Ну а после того как ушел Роджер, группа уже больше никогда не поднялась до прежнего уровня
Famous Las Words was also a great album...after that...they died, because Rick Davies was not as talented a songwriter as Roger Hodgson.
‘Roland’ piano. Pfffft.
I don't think these people could be more pretentious, most are clueless
Roger Hodgson propelled the band to stardom...Davies just went along for the ride.
28 seconds in.... Roland keyboard???? tell me you have no idea about gear without telling me..... useless
