They have a sax player as a stable member, he rocks. He contributed to Supertramp's trademark sound. The band had two singer-songwriters, roughly each provides lead vocals to their own songs. The voice from Goodbye Stranger is not the same as this. Get ready for "Take the long way home", another lovely song.
Supertramp Rocks! I remember the first time I heard this song. Was at my cousin's house, saw the album, threw it on the turntable and loved it ever since.
Their "Crime Of The Century" album hasn't got any bad song on it. On the contrary, they're all fantastic. I think it's their best. "Hide In Your Shell" is still my favorite song on it, but it's a hard choice, since they're all amazing. It's actually a concept album.
This is magical, it's great to hear all these songs again after all this time, you really appreciate the music and just how talented musicians were back then, normal then
I subscribed earlier today.....watching a couple of your ELO reactions. I was going to say that both ELO and Supertramp have such distinctive styles......that they kind of stand alone. I remember back in the 1970s, when I first heard them........I loved them equally. I still can't decide which group I enjoy more. I never grow tired of their music.
Great song Harri!! This was written by Roger Hodgson, 1/2 of the great band Supertramp writing duo. In 1979, this song was all over the radio and defined the Summer with all the other Breakfast In America album hits. Roger Hodgson has formed a new band and still tours the world. To see Roger in concert today is truly incredible. Roger still hits all the notes and if you close your eyes, you would think you were back in 1979. If Roger Hodgson should ever come to a city near you, go see him, it will take you back in time for the 2 hour show he plays.
Young married working in mtns of Breckenridge grocery store, but lunch was in my little red square Honda listening to Supertramp on a cassette. 1979 ish. Still love them. 🎶💙🎶💙🎶💙
This was my first tape! When I was maybe 7 I got my very own radio/tape player and 2 tapes for my birthday- breakfast in America and Kenny Rogers (I didn’t ask for these it’s just what I received) and ever since, I’ve loved supertramp. The logical song & take the long way home are lyrically, to me, just so damn good.
Boy, I haven’t heard SuperTramp in years!! I’ll have to check out your reaction to GOODBYE STRANGER my fav. Thanks Harri for all your reactions!! Sends me back to Junior High & High School which in comparison was a pretty good time to grow up. Some of the best music ever was in the 60’s, 70’s, & early 80’s. 💗🎵
"Give a Little Bit" is the Supertramp song that gets pushed aside too often, perhaps because it's a guitar-based tune as opposed to piano. I highly recommend it as a change-up for you.
Another great reaction, Harri! Isn’t amazing how one decade (the 70’s) produced so many amazing bands and tremendous songs? I have a theory about that: It started with the Beatles setting new standards of excellence in song-writing, followed by Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Those three bands gave incentive to all others to reach the same level of quality and the result is this mass array of attempts that, in many cases, came very close to those three masters. And we all get to enjoy the vast volume of results.
Supertramp was one of the best concerts I ever saw, and I've seen just about every big band. They are incredible live performers and sound just as good if not better than studio.
Kind of a sequel to "School" from Crime of the Century. The "at night" part reminds me of "Babaji" from Even in the Quietest Moments ("at night when the stars are near...."). Harri, we gotta get you a theme song.
This song reminds me of my teenagehood. It showed me what I didn't want to become ... dependable. cinical, ... a vegetable ... Thanks for your reaction! It´s a fantastic song! You should hear their live version.
Absolutely one of the best tunes/songs ever conceived and then produced at a level way beyond..................you did catch the castanets in the background, right?
The archetype of the perfect pop song. This album is perfect from A to Z. You should try Child of vision, Lord is it mine, Gone Hollywood. And next try their other masterpiece, Crime of the Century ;-)
I was in high school radio station, first period. I cut the cellophane, pulled the record out and put it on the turntable. I couldn’t stop it and only did to turn the record over. Every song hit me perfectly! It was a long winter and this and spring hit at the same time. This album reminds me of spring and turned me into a HUGE SUPERTRAMP fan!!!
You might want to check out the progrock group "Yes". Some of their best songs include "Yours is no Disgrace" "Close to the Edge" "Roundabout", and "Going for the One" just to name a few.
PLEASE react to Good Night by The Beatles! It's such a tender and sweet song, written by John and sung by Ringo. Geoff Emerick said the demo John sung to him was one of the most beautiful things he'd ever heard. And when you've worked with The Beatles as much as Geoff Emerick had, that's saying something. Unfortunately, that demo has been gone for a long time, I'm not sure it was ever heard by the general public. It's the last song on the White Album, and right after the avant garde composition Revolution 9. It's like going from a nightmare to a beautiful dream, I LOVE the fact that the album closes like that. It sort of sounds like a song you'd hear in Cinderella or something. Great reactions! :)
Thank you for your most illogical reaction Harri! Now that you have hit the big three on Breakfast in America it is time to go back to the beginning and react to the classic LP "Crime of the Century". If you don't mind doing a couple of really long videos you could (and should) react to each side of the album, but if that is not logical you should do each song on the LP in order. The songs on Breakfast are great but they had almost gone commercial by this time. The songs on their first three albums are classics that you are guaranteed to love! I look forward to seeing you there! Peace!!
A reactor mentioned the other day that Roger's voice sounds like Geddy Lee. The song sounds like someone from China, brainwashed into thinking a certain way.
It's great to see young people discovering old songs. I wonder how old you are. You seem to be american, maybe i'm wrong. I like americans and their music.
I listened to this album nonstop for weeks after I saw them live during this tour, and radio stations had it on heavy rotation so I’m really kind of burned out on the song. I much prefer “Child of Vision”.
goodbye stranger is not about leaving women its about stopping smoking marijuana that back in the day they called it Mary Jane. Good bye Mary , Goodbye Jane will we ever meet again, feel no sorry feel no shame, will tomorrow feel no pain. then there's the line, "well some they do and some they don't, and some you just can't tell , and some they will and some they won't and some its just as well" ...(smoke pot)
Supertramp - Take the Long Way Home
They have a sax player as a stable member, he rocks. He contributed to Supertramp's trademark sound. The band had two singer-songwriters, roughly each provides lead vocals to their own songs. The voice from Goodbye Stranger is not the same as this. Get ready for "Take the long way home", another lovely song.
The next song could be Take The Long way Home. There is also a nearly instrumental track on this album called Child Of Vision.
+1
Yes. I agree with "Take the Long Way Home "being your next choice for Supertramp!👍♥️
Supertramp Rocks! I remember the first time I heard this song. Was at my cousin's house, saw the album, threw it on the turntable and loved it ever since.

Agreed. I LOVE the intro to Crime of the Century and Bloody Well Right.
This is magical, it's great to hear all these songs again after all this time, you really appreciate the music and just how talented musicians were back then, normal then
You should try their song "Take the long way home" it's one of my favorites.
Second that
I love that..❤️✌️🌼
A killer track!!
Mine too!
First time on your channel Harri and it won't be my last. Love your reactions.

School is a must, as is Rudy.
And while you're at it, Goodbye Stranger, Hide In Your Shell and Ain't Nobody But Me.

Supertramp are the thinking persons rock band.

Ite fantastic😀
Very insightful and I totally agree. They are the holy trinity of Rock and Roll. 🤟🏻😎👍🏻
Next song from Supertramp - Lord is it mine .. or School ... 😎👍 good week-end to you 👍
I call these guys "the forgotten superstars of Rock ".............
Them, and XTC ...
100% agree!
Definitely not forgotten though -- and they are just getting redicscovered by so many young "reacting" people...
Love from Germany
This was a huuuge hit in America. Couldn't get away from at the time. Speaking of school, check out "School" by them next. A masterful work.
I had completely forgotten about this band. They definitely had a great sound. You can’t help but enjoy the energy in his voice.
Supertramp was one of the best concerts I ever saw, and I've seen just about every big band. They are incredible live performers and sound just as good if not better than studio.
so great that you cover all those songs
Next Supertramp "Take the Long Way Home" please!
Kind of a sequel to "School" from Crime of the Century. The "at night" part reminds me of "Babaji" from Even in the Quietest Moments ("at night when the stars are near....").
Harri, we gotta get you a theme song.
Great reaction - Give a Little Bit is another great song to check out.
THEIR BEST SONG
This song reminds me of my teenagehood. It showed me what I didn't want to become ... dependable. cinical, ... a vegetable ... Thanks for your reaction! It´s a fantastic song! You should hear their live version.
School is my favorite,,from the Crime of the century album,,,
I recommend "Lord Is It Mine" by Supertramp
Love that song!
All you need to do is put on the "Crime Of The Century" L.P, then you have heard the best of Supertramp
Absolutely one of the best tunes/songs ever conceived and then produced at a level way beyond..................you did catch the castanets in the background, right?
I love this song! The lyrics are just the best!
Another great group with a unique sound. This era was full of them.
The archetype of the perfect pop song. This album is perfect from A to Z. You should try Child of vision, Lord is it mine, Gone Hollywood. And next try their other masterpiece, Crime of the Century ;-)

Heard this song before but did not know who sang it or what it was called 🤔Good Breakdown of the lyrics 👌
Definitely what I would call a fun song. Great review Harri.
Cheers Don
Another big hit of theirs was Dreamer. It's good!
I love this song. I'm happy I could share this moment with you bruh haha
You might want to check out the progrock group "Yes". Some of their best songs include "Yours is no Disgrace" "Close to the Edge" "Roundabout", and "Going for the One" just to name a few.

Gotta do 'It's Raining Again'!
"I particularly liked the music"
Thank you for your most illogical reaction Harri! Now that you have hit the big three on Breakfast in America it is time to go back to the beginning and react to the classic LP "Crime of the Century". If you don't mind doing a couple of really long videos you could (and should) react to each side of the album, but if that is not logical you should do each song on the LP in order. The songs on Breakfast are great but they had almost gone commercial by this time. The songs on their first three albums are classics that you are guaranteed to love! I look forward to seeing you there! Peace!!
You definitely have the gist. Long Way Home is another great cut!
If you like good saxophone then "Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street","Hazel O'Connor - Will You?" and "Junior Walker & The All Stars - Walk In The Night""
A reactor mentioned the other day that Roger's voice sounds like Geddy Lee. The song sounds like someone from China, brainwashed into thinking a certain way.
The next great song from this album is "Take the Long Way Home".
Hi Harry. I’m just here for your accent. 😂 just kidding. One of my favourite old bands from my mid teens…!
FYI mate there are two lead vocalists, Roger Hodgson who has the higher register and Rick Davis who's deeper. Hope this helps.
Thanx Eddy..helps a lot
@@HarriBestReactions no worries mate. Best wishes from North London.
I feel like I could be a god in your village
It's great to see young people discovering old songs.
I wonder how old you are. You seem to be american, maybe i'm wrong.
I like americans and their music.
😀 I am actually British/Nigerian
Also I would recommend doing The year of the cat
I listened to this album nonstop for weeks after I saw them live during this tour, and radio stations had it on heavy rotation so I’m really kind of burned out on the song. I much prefer “Child of Vision”.
Scooter. I had to mention them.
😀👍❤️✌️🌼
You’ve got to do Steely Dan Deacon Blues
This is a rare case where the name they picked for the band hurt them, I believe.
goodbye stranger is not about leaving women its about stopping smoking marijuana that back in the day they called it Mary Jane. Good bye Mary , Goodbye Jane will we ever meet again, feel no sorry feel no shame, will tomorrow feel no pain. then there's the line, "well some they do and some they don't, and some you just can't tell , and some they will and some they won't and some its just as well" ...(smoke pot)
Awesome.
Please talk about the cover art
Watch what you say...
Try XTC...
Dire Straits - Your Latest Trick if you want some saxophone
I reacted on that already 😀😀 Baaad song!
audio is TOO LOW BRO
Always thought the sax was too loud to fit song.
Ignore the suggestions (just kidding) and try the track, "Breakfast in America."
They were having sax at one point. Let's see if I can get away with that infantile joke.
Never cool to treat women like shit. Nevertheless, it was a great song. This song is a masterpiece!
