Is anyone else listening to this in 2024?
Oh yes.....
05 20 24....yes indeedy!
SInce this video was uploaded in 2023, most of us are.
Me
Is there any other thing to listen to????? 😂😂😂
Who wants to go back to when music was great and time were easier.
Amen
Yes, back when sex was clean and the air was dirty. Today, it’s the other way around.
Absolutely makes ya think long an hard when your 66 poof!😢
yeah, I'll drive the bus
Easier? How exactly was it easier?
It's a crime that these guys are NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their bias against progressive rock is so evident. Supertramp is generational and timeless at the same time. Brilliant!
No, the real crime is these artist's were brought on that show to fake play and lip sync.
One of the best concerts I ever saw. Supertramp Crime of the century tour. Warnors theater Fresno Ca
Crime of The Century
@@JamesRieben-rn4lw lip-syncing was and is used widely. Not for your top-tier stars, buttake a pill, bro. You have taller mountains to climb. 👍
I agree. It’s plain weird. (And other guy… “Crime of the Century”- deep, deep cut, bruh.) 😼
Supertramp never wrote a lazy song, always layers of music happening in their songs
Hour one..Amen..🎼🙏🏼
Jesus, and then jump to today's music ... 🤮
John Bonhams favorite group which is high praise indeed. Supertramp was loaded with percussion. Rick became a master percussionist before he moved over to drum on the piano. So, you know Bob Siebenberg had to be great. Rick as a youngster started off faking the organ in order to get a job. Supertramp is the perfect blend of blue sky Michael Jackson played by Roger mixed with a more heavy grounded Black Sabbath played by Rick - the main difference being that Roger not only could play an instrument, but multiple ones.
Dude, you and I have like the same music taste. I keep seeing your comments on all the music videos I watch
I hate to admit this:
... Famous Last Words ... (It's Raining Again)
"Come on you little fighter, no need to get uptighter".
Great great album. “Breakfast In America” was one of the best Albums of the 70s.
Especially the late 70s.
Released in 1979.
It sure was. I bought it after hearing Logical Song on the radio and loved every song on it, including this one. This was in my car cassette deck for months. Great music for drives
@@kirbygene : Right there with ya. The Logical Song really spoke to me, especially being in my twenties af the time. The production quality of the entire album was incredible on a nice sound system.
One of the best ever.
For my son Brandon 1982-1999 ❤ Rest easy my boy!🕯
I am sorry for your loss... 😢
So sorry for your loss Cynthia. I'm so glad you have this song to remind you of your son. Wishing you the best.
@@delyslejeanmarc6048 💕💕💕
@@appleget thank you for your condolences it truly means so much to me.😢💖
@@DaisyMaybee1723 thank you so much dear,😥💕
These guys are just one of those bands that nobody has ever come close to sounding like. Such a unique cool sound.
True ❤
Jellyfish
Some Tame Impala songs sound like Supertramp songs slowed down to .75 speed.
Cornershop?
Supergrass
Back when actual musicians fill the ranks of bands.
A masterpiece by Supertramp. One of my favorite Supertramp songs. I grew up with Supertramp.
Indeed
How many times can you 👉 👈 👇 use the name Supertramp in one comment? 😂
@@nehpetsttocsnosirrag6227 Don't you have any problems other than being annoyed by repetition in comment columns?
@@nehpetsttocsnosirrag6227Dude, I thought the same thing 😆. I counted 3.
So…you’re talking about Whitesnake, right?
Can't believe 50 years have past us by...
Bloody hell.👈😳
passed*
blows my mind how old this is now. then again I totally feel 27 not 67! poof! fifty years later🎉
Também não acredito Scott sou do Brasil
I love the tone on the guitar solo. It takes the song to an amazing finish
That guitar solo does not get enough praise! What a fricken great sound! Brilliant!
Yes it gets more praise then you'll know. That solo didn't get away trying to fly under the radar. It's etched in everybody's mind fortunately. Textures galore!
Always reminded me a bit of Peter Frampton
It's in my top five all time....
From the first time I heard it!
Agreed
Yeah, it is wonderful!!!
If you didn't live in the 70's, then you just don't understand.
So true!
Absofuckinlutely!!!!! ✌❤
I was borne in 71 does that count? Man there is a vibe here that just grips me.
True!!! But sometimes understanding is so sad. After 60 years I think I prefer that kind of sadness. Sorry for my english.
@fredrickneitzche6748
It's not when you were born that matters most.
It's how the music impacts your soul. Does it grip you, envelope you in its melodies, does it move you, groove you and suit "your cup of tea."
How does it all travel within, delight you, embrace you, cause you to sin.
Matters not what your age
Let the music 🎶 🎵 dance within thee
And bring out your glee.
For matters most
Is the impact within thee.
I miss this. In my 50's now, it's all gone by so quickly. Sigh.
Turning 61 in October, I hear you!! But we lived great young life.
Time traveling like wise.
Wake up and think ,wow where did the years go ? Maybe get 20 or 30 more? Body isn't the same ,it's the question of life.
@@williamharris5957 I hope we get a few more years! This song always take me back to brighter days.
Just want this train to stop and let me off, today's world is a disaster. Take me back in time and leave me there.
Sadly, we have to face up to the fact that 70s are never coming back...
You never know….bell bottoms are making a come back!
I'm a musician. I discovered Supertramp in 1978 when I was 12 years old. Now, I'm 58. From then, I listen and I've listened the Supertramp music, every day, yes, every day of my life !
Funny. I had to reply because this band is what actually awoke the composer in me. I'm 57 and lived with them as a teen too. Made me realize how fundamental music is to my inner being they did!
I remember when this was playing on Q-107 and DC-101 in Fairfax VA 1979. Some of my best beach memories were from 1979.
This sounds like the album track not a live show. It even fades out at the exact time.
I have noticed that with several other Midnight Special videos that have been posted to TH-cam. I am wondering if the people posting the videos replaced the soundtrack with the studio version. I noticed this with a posting of Prince's "I Wanna Be Your Lover", and, I believe with a posting of Starbuck's "Moonlight Feels Right". With the Starbuck song, someone else posted the same video with the live Midnight Special track, which was how I confirmed this.
I when I was 18 I worked the night shift in a local factory. I had breakfast in America on my 8 track tape player and I loved it so much I’d listen to it every night on my way home. If ‘Take the long way home’ came on before I got home, no matter if it was 2 in the morning, I’d drive extra miles just to hear the song to its end. These guys were great musicians.
I turned 18 in 76 it was a awesome time to live best of my life.
🤩
I remember my friend was going to quit piano lessons, and then he heard this. Went and bought the album and learned it over a rainy weekend. Then his teacher showed him how to really pull it off. Needless to say he kept up with the lessons and had a great job at a piano bar for a few years.
the 70's the high water mark for music
Except for a brief tidal wave when Limp Bisket played break stuff and kid rock played Bawitabaw at Woodstock 99.
1979 was an incredible year for music, I was 16yo... Where does the time go?? Great song and band.
Same age as me , great music and simpler times . If only we could go back.
Yep, same here. Music we heard in our mid teens is indelible, poignant. And it really WAS great music.
Seems like 1980 was when it really got great.
@@tonymarshall5815 I wish we could too.
I was 18 .so nastalgik
40+ years later and still one of my all time favourite bands
I belatedly got into Supertramp, though I always enjoyed the Breakfast In America album. It's too bad a rift developed between Rick and Roger, with Roger ultimately leaving the band.
The 70’s can’t be beat!
When music was genuinely great, God I thank you for allowing me to grow up in the 70’s and 80’s and the 90’s
you took a long time to grow up!
I just found that psychedelic music on You tube. I cant stop listening to it.4,5,6 hours straight. I just did my whole shift listening to it. Brings me back the the beginning of early FM radio.No nothing just solid (Id call it) progressive music.
th-cam.com/video/ors0wpcVDcc/w-d-xo.html
The 70s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 70s music. You don't need drugs or alcohol to appreciate the best music ever. God....take me back to the 70s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.
And I'll gladly join you!
This song was massive when I was a kid. It was on the radio everywhere. You couldn't get away from it even if you wanted to. I didn't want to. :)
reminds me of listening to WLS at night, when I could receive it all the way in SC (from Chicago)
😂👍
Supertramp was one of those bands whose songs I couldn't name when I tried to come up with any songs of theirs, but then when someone would play me songs by them, I'd realize I'd heard a bunch of their songs and never knew who they were by.
I remember…we all got Breakfast in America and heard it on the radio as well
AM radio too…
These guy's are one of a kind.. when a band doesn't sound like any other band, they have my respect..
What would the world be like without the excellent British bands!!!
People will rediscover how good this band was and still be listening in 2074 and beyond
Lol! You think humanity will still exist? Good luck!
Breakfast in America was the undisputed album of the summer ‘79. Come to think of it, it shared the spotlight of excellence with the Cars; Candy’o.
It was everywhere! And yeah, CandyO was huge as well...
61 years old!!..only listen to classic rock station!!..I love ALL music..BUT ROCK IS WHERE I LIVE
My Uncle is Rodger, just love everything Supertramp, saw them for the first time as a full band at 3 to 4 years old and I still remember it. But I have the utmost respect for Rick and without their very different styles Supertramp wouldn't have been amazing. One of the Greatest bands of all time. And very unique.
Rodger wrote such deep meaningful songs: School, Dreamer, Hide in Your Shell, long way home, etc etc -just brilliant body of work.
Think this is the first time I’ve actually seen the band. Been listening for decades.
Same
Roger’s solo play-out is spine-tingling every time I hear it. Fantastic!
The Outro is the best bit of the song. Tragic that they cut it short on this video
It's outstanding
He was a very underated guitar player!
Imagine having one of the greatest guitar solos in history... and it gets cut every time it plays on the radio. They sounded so good here its unreal.
Because, I believe, it is not real. I've listened to this album thousands of times, and this seems to be the exact studio recording that they are lip syncing/fake playing along with. Which would also explain the fade out at the end...
Im telling you right now! That mf is not real!
@@asoces Well the guitar solo is real! Haha!
drives me fucking nuts!!!
Lip syncing for sure... not sure how anyone could argue/hear/see that. Having said that it is a great video by one of my favorite bands...
dont know why this white electric piano makes me sentimental... love this song
This band is so underrated & often overlooked. Such great musicians. So much pure talent.
I saw them in 1979 in Vancouver.I was lucky this was my first concert.Where has all this time gone.
The dude with the perfect whistling!
Its the studio recording. Lip sync.
1975 ish, this was in my 8track. Breakfast in America. Traveling upstate Pa. Had my first ever Wendy's cheese hamburger. Driving my 69 Buick Riviera. OMG LIFE WAS GOOD!!
Supertramp were a British rock band that formed in London in 1970. They experienced their greatest global success in 1979 with their sixth album Breakfast in America.🎺🥁🎷🎸❤️
It's bands like this that makes my heart go out to the deaf who have never heard a sound.
And leg amputees without a car that couldn’t make it to the show. And blind people that went to the wrong stadium.
And people without lower mandibles who couldn’t chew food to survive to see the concert
I think that all the time when I'm with my brother in law. It pains me.
that guitar solo was ...AWSOME
THIS WAS MUSIC👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
LIVED RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE BAND IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
I’m 513 years old and this is a good song.
You got good taste Methuselah
You too? So am I! So I'm not the only one all this time who has been hiding his actual identity online. Mainly cuz I don't want all the hassles, man.
~ Love, Methuselah
You are very under rated
@@markstevenson6635 yes underrated and being old are they only viable music reviews on TH-cam LOL
Hahahaha
It's nice to hear and see the end solo being played in its entirety, most radio stations cut it short every time, it's maddening because it is a great solo , it's in my top 10 list , for what that's worth.
That guitar solo is on another level very well done
you said it all Kevin!!
That solo takes me to another place. And they call Clapton slowhand
Unfortunately it’s all playback. It would have been great to hear it done live.
Time to pay the bills as the DJ's used to say. Probably caught he'll from the station manager who didn't give a hoot about the guitar solo if he didn't cut it short .
Have all their albums. Seen them a lot of times in concert back in the day. One of the best bands I’ve ever seen.
1979. I was 14 years old I had just started the 9th grade. I remember it like it was yesterday.
It's called nostalgia. And I OD on it all the time.
Well done......
I was 14 in 79. Listening to this I am 14 again. And again. 🏆👏🏼
The soundtrack of your youth
E eu 😊tinha 17 na flor da idade.
I was 15. Supertramp BIA and Fleetwood Mac Rumours will stay with me forever.
me too !
In my head I am a teenager…until I walk in front of a mirror or feel pain in my knees and other joints…miss this band, my music and my youth.
One of Supertramp's greatest strengths was that they sounded exactly like the recordings on the LP's and that is what the fans expected.
This is the LP recording, They are lip-syncing.
It is very disappointing that they did not perform this live. Yes, clearly this is the studio version
This brings on a flood of memories ...what a strong album...it reminds me of autumn,football games and beautiful beautiful girls of my youth.We really grew up with great music ...I wore this album out..what a great time to be alive
Please stop saying they were “underrated”. They were huge and deservedly so! Then time went by, as it does, and new trends and new talent comes along and it becomes their time to shine. Rinse, lather, repeat. It always has been that way and always will. Otherwise music would have never moved past Frank Sinatra, teenybopper music in the 50’s and Elvis. It’s not like it lessens their legacy one bit.
Well said. Those who are drawn to good music are done so regardless of time and space.
Wow, like it was yesterday! How did we get from 1979 to 2023 so damn fast! 😢
To all those amazing memories and days we thought would last forever!❤
Ironically, they proved on the live album that they could substantially recreate the studio sound.
Definitely!
Playback
I’m sory but… this is EXACTLY the sound of the record… same nuances on the vocal parts etc. This can’t be a playback… or, this session is the one recorded for the Breakfast… album ?
@@fredc1516I don't believe the instruments are being played live. The motions are not synchronous and are exaggerated.
@@fredc1516 - Supertramp released a LIVE album from this tour...
Breakfast In America. Grammy winner for album of the year. Roger Hodgson is an amazing songwriter, musician, and performer.
This was written by Rick Davies.
This is definitely one of Rick's songs and this was in the period where they pretty much had stopped collaborating.
You don't see bands like this anymore? I absolutely love Supertramp.❤❤❤❤❤
I’m glad I grew up in the ‘60s and ‘70s. They were AMAZING 😊
That outtro at the end is a masterpiece
If it were not for the "Midnight Special" TV program, I may had never seen any bands from the 70's growing up. Thank you for posting to see these jewels again.
I dedicated this song on Valentine's Day to my then high school "BAD" boyfriend and it was played over the intercom through the entire school. It was classic!!!!
The album Breakfast in America was probably the best album to come out in 1979. Every song was awesome.
I remember back in 1983 when I was only 11 years old Supertramp was invited to a German TV show and they accepted on the premise that they were allowed to actually play live, which was pretty uncommon. They were probably fed up with all the lip syncing. They played It‘s raining again and had to do Crazy as an encore because the audience went wild and demanded it. Good memories.
As a child in the early 70's the Carpenters were always on the radio in our house at breakfast time, hence they are lovingly remembered by myself as the readybrek songs. ❤
How are they not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Good question. Guess they’ll have to wait until the wokesters at the HOF induct all their favourite two bit rappers like NWA, Puffy Combs, Eminem and Missy Elliott first? 😂
So everything has to do with "WOKE". That is just puerile and stupid. The real reason is money. Follow the money, man.@@crazyralph6386
@@crazyralph6386It’s almost as good an honor NOT to be honored .
Next thing to come is the wokesters @ the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will be inducting Hunter Biden
What a shame!
Love these guys grew up in Chicago seen this guys more then any band and have seen a lot
Simply the best.
Roger moved to the town I grew up in, he played at a bar one night with a local band and my friend Annette and I and everyone had a blast dancing and laughing with him. Good days gone. Annette is in Heaven, Roger still lives there and I'm just having a good memory. Is that okay TH-cam? Lol.
Annette lives in your memories, I hope each one brings a smile.
England is a place notably full of ordinary looking chaps that in truth are full to the brim with extraordinary talents, but are just too humble to crow about it.
A masterpiece. Music was beautiful then.
Hands down the most UNDERRATED band of the 70s… this entire album was phenomenal…❤❤❤
Underrated bands do not sell 60 million albums. Stop using that word you don't know what it means.
‘Underrated’ term again? Underrated is way way “Overrated” in YT comments, here’s your 🏆
Newsflash Cara DICKler: you can be popular and successful and still be UNDERRATED: “not rated or valued highly enough.”… maybe SUPERTRAMP is constantly mentioned in your social circles as one of the greatest bands of the 70s but you can bet most do not. Maybe it’s you who shouldn’t use it Because it’s obvious you don’t know what it means..
Huh?
They were absolutely massive in their era. Worldwide too. Everyone, I mean everyone I knew listened to them. They were in heavy rotation on FM, too.
Maybe they don't get written about or mentioned much these days, but Good God, man, that was a half century ago.
What does "underrated" even mean in a case like this?
Just that! They’re not mentioned nearly as much as they should given what they’ve contributed and achieved and I think thats largely because they stopped touring and recording years ago. But ask anyone today under the age of 35 what they think of Supertramp and they’ll say WHO?
The Wurlitzer electronic piano: the sound that defined Supertramp. And Supertramp was the sound that defined 1980 for me.
Smart people!! Clever arrangement,.. imaginative diligent hard working no nonsense musical magicians. Got to love that guitar solo that Roger cleverly tends to.
Absolutely some of the best quality music ever 😊
Midnight Special was an awesome show. A really good live concert every week for free?
Those were the days.
But this isn't live. It lip synched.
@@norwegianzound It sure does sound like the studio version of the song. Fantastic tune nonetheless.
And no political bs.
Amen
@@norwegianzound Every source I've checked says performances on Midnight Special were live, never lip-synced
What's the source for your claim?
I was introduced to Super Tramp in the late 80s. In my humble opinion, they are one the greatest band ever created. I still listen to them each week. 😊
Got still all albums in Vinyl - love all songs, especially this one!
I saw them live in concert at Lloyd Nobel Center in Norman OK on May 1st 1979. It was a great show playing this song and all their other hits. Breakfast in America has been released the month prior and was a Huge success! I was 24 yrs yng.
I was 16 yrs old and so do remember 'Breakfast in America' lol
I've seen several great shows at the Lloyd Noble over the years. I wish I could have seen Supertramp then but I was only in the 7th grade, and May 1st, 1979 was a Tuesday - a school day, so no Supertramp goodness for me. ha!
Omg,,,howdy neighbor! Saw them in Tulsa @ the Assembly Center April 30, 1979, they were so fantastic!
@@rickwheeler5496hi fellow OKie! 1st concert I saw was Three Dog Night in Tulsa @ age 11, in 1970. My dad dropped me and my friend off downtown and picked us up on same corner afterwards. Being the youngest of 4 kids with tired parents has its advantages! 😉
I saw them at the Lloyd Noble in ‘83.
Supertramp's unique style is unsurpassed!
I remember the first time I heard this song in 1979. I was fascinated by it. Rushed to get that album and still have it. I love supertramp!
Today. Thank you Midnight Special.
Those guitar riffs at the end of this are just beautiful.
The guitar solo at the end gets me every time.
Supertramp fue quiza una de las 3 menores bandas de rock de la historia, ademas me lleva a un tiempo azul, mis 16 años, donde la vida empezaba, no habia preocupación por el tiempo, el mundo me esperaba, después vino la guerra, y me cambio todo, pero siempre segui escuchando a ellos, me levaba y aún me lleva a ese tiempo azul, en donde todo era mas lindo y tranquilo, hoy a los 61 años sigo escuchando ahora con nostalgia y tomando la vida mas lenta, por que es mas escasa, pero, feliz de poder escucharlos.
Aww the childhood memories of staying up late to watch The Midnight Special and Wolfman Jack.
Probably saved me a lot of drunk driving tickets.
Certainly one of the most memorable guitar solo's of all time. What a song.
The piano break intro to the chorus is a stroke of genius, too. And yeah, the guitar outro is another.
One on rudy too
Hodgson is such an underrated electric guitarist
Best channel on TH-cam hands down.
I've been to over 500 concerts in my day and when I saw them on this tour in May "79" it still is one if not the BEST show I ever saw. Great music and a great time in my life.
I saw these guys in 1986, the opening act was the fix. Great show, thanks Ned for your musical influence
Fixx had some great tunes back in the day!
Man to be alive during this time , partying in the ski lodges, the nostalgia....
I remember seeing this Midnight Special performance when I was 12 or so. I had never heard of Supertramp before and came away being a fan. Great band.
In the 70s you threw an instrument in front of these guys and they played it.....a Golden Era
So smooth and crystalline. Great mix.
This song is definitely from another domain! Simply genius from start to finish! 👍
Big time, these guys are so exceptional that I have no problem believing the rumors that they are dropping occulted messages and spells in their art. Lyrics are just too creepy IMO
Well said!
I love the lyrics! The happy-go-lucky sound of it all. It’s pretty funny actually
Grew up in the 70s.I remember theMidnight Special .
Отличная уважаемая группа, добротные альбомы. Профессионалы высшей пробы
Мне 64 регулярно слушаю их альбомы!!!
The last minutes of this song have always been the happiest 2 minutes of music in my life - Total jam session of good vibes - when radio stations would neglect to play it I never understood!!!
You needed to find an album rock station to listen to, top 40 always played the chopped up 3 minute singles
Yeah, this is the album cut. Complete mime job and lip sync. This isn't a live performance, unfortunately.
I hear you! I always wanted the band to jam out on that ending!!
yea im pretty familiar with the song and this is def lip synced, at least the instruments are , this must be 1979 or 1980, the earlier midnight special programs from 1972 etc had the bands playing live unlike this unfort
Supertramp was an FM radio staple back in the day.
Vind ik het beste ❤ van heel hun repertoire 💖
I've been listening to this since it was released!
Probably the greatest band....ever.
Had a boat years ago I named The Supertramp. I would play Take The Long Way Home each time I left the dock.
These guys had so many great tracks.
The 70s had the greatest music, period.
