"We can't talk about the best bands without putting Supertramp at the table." I totally agree.
The entire album is a masterpiece…another track ‘Asylum’ is a must hear from this album for sure 👍❤️
So funny I just made almost the same comment. Can’t wait for the guys to listen to Asylum. ❤️
This whole album is fantastic. It's a shame they never caught on in America until Breakfast In America from 79. Then they quickly fell off the charts after that. American audiences are finicky.
Famous Last Words was an underwhelming album Then they, effectively, broke up with Roger leaving, but the four album run from CotC to BiA is in my opinion the best four album run in music history. And yes, I'm including The Beatles. @@mgordon1100
@@mgordon1100they were always huge in Buffalo New York one of the first cities that they broke in... And they never forgot that they always commented on that. fact.... Asylum is my favorite Supertramp song it is a masterpiece...
And Rudy and School
For those of us who lived through this music, it's easy to see why we find todays music lacking. What was once a full meal has become a cube of sugar. Thanks for sharing!
Supertramp has always been severly underrated.. It was always different, it was all so very original. Yes, they can sit at the table.
I don't know that they're underrated but definitely overlooked!
If everybody loved Supertramp they would still be underrated
Not in Toronto the Tramp were huge on the air and live
If someone tells you that Supertramp was underrated or appreciated, they are coming from a US point of view. The band never hit the Billboard charts well until Breakfast In America. It peaked number 1. The subsequent albums fell off after that. Yes, they performed well in Canada, also Germany. I don't know why American music listeners didn't latch onto this band. BIA really had no choice but to hit number one. They played the crap out of it. I know, I was a teenager, and this was the album to have in 79.
@mgordon1100 sadly I only saw them 4 times
SUPERTRAMP belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!😊
So we've got two deserving band who keep getting snubbed: Supertramp and War.
Don't forget Jethro Tull.@@324cmac
Why dishonor them that way. We know their greatness and that's all that matters.
This album deserves a listen from beginning to end gents, it's a trip.
Preferably lightly baked. 😏
Exactly what I mean when I say that Breakfast In America was great but it's never as good as Crime Of The Century or Even In The Quietest Moments. Those two albums rank high among the best of the decade and beyond. Timeless music that still stands up today. ♥
Throw in Crisis what Crisis and you have the perfect comment! Breakfast in America was their biggest success. I rank it their 4th best album.
@@ljsites I agree with you, though I'd put Crisis as their 3rd best. From what I've read, it was mostly put together from leftover tracks recorded for Crime. Not that there weren't some great songs, I just couldn't imagine Sister Moonshine fitting into the feel of Crime of the Century. Even the band wasn't as happy with Crisis as they'd liked to have been. Solid album, though!
Crime of the Century, the album, is in the top 3 albums I have owned. This album got me through a year of college. Another song you will enjoy by Supertramp is Fool's Overture from their Even in the Quietest Moments album. Also, I really enjoy your reactions as well as your understanding of music. Additionally, I appreciate your love of Supertramp ... you get them.
My theory behind this song is that it was meant to be started off originally to be tongue and cheek humor. Along the way, they stumbled across a serious masterpiece.
Hell, I think I love you guys. I am a 63 year old man sitting here, almost with tears in my eyes. I was there at the time. I know this album, I bought it when vinyl was the only real option. A twelve inch disc, with that cover image of the bars and the hands, laying on my kitchen table. I played it on a rosewood Denon DP52F from a completely different era than today. I (crystal clear) remember listening to this album - finished by THIS song, high as a kite - enthralled by it. “If Everyone was Listening”, “Rudy”, “Crime of the Century”. I knew that I was listening to something special. I listened to it over and over and over again. In my closet there hangs a Supertramp t-shirt I wear simply because I just want to. No shit, the two of you are among the straight-up reviewers on the net. God bless you, and thank you both.
And that's why I have Supertramp tattooed across my collar bone ! Not to mention your reaction literally made me tear up ! The passion I have for them is unmeasurable ! There are music saved my life as a troubled 17 year old !
No regurts
@@thorzzz1z, Absolutely not !! trust me I put a lot of thought into that before I did it ! I got to meet Roger Hodgson after a show because of that tattoo ! He actually stopped playing his Encore song walked to the edge of the stage leaned down shook my hand and gave me his guitar pick that he was playing with ! Believe it or not that happened 2 years in a row he recognized me from the year before , So now I have 2 guitar pics from Roger !
@@thorzzz1z , Trust me I get a lot of stares when it's visible ! Some people say it's a double untandra ! Lol
From all us old people, I'm glad you guys enjoy Supertramp as much as we did back then when they first hit the airwaves. Darken the room, pull out some green, lay back, and get pulled into their music. Saw them live back in the '80s and it was awesome!
This album and Eldorado!
Eldorado, yes!!!
I've been WAITING for this one. What a masterpiece.
Gentlemen, what can I say ? Except - Welcome to the club. You now know why they are one of my favorite bands. They can play any style of music they wish - and do. And make it their own. Shout out also to producer Ken Scott. Every great band needs a great producer to get it all down properly.
Bout dang time these guys get their props..I too believe Supertramp deserves to sit at that head table along with Led Zeppelin , Pink Floyd
Both Bach and Dr. Dre would be proud of those beats and piano licks… timeless.
Coming in at 2.30 Still D.R.E!
Ironically the piano part was sampled in Fabulous’s “Breathe”
@@MarcusL1995 thanks, Marcus. I couldn’t put my finger on it
If you're at a point in your life when you have a decision to make and you don't know which road to take, listen to this song to re-orient your head and re-align yourself, then you'll know what to do.
Interesting you should say that. I have dismissed them in the past, but here today- facing challenges- this is helping my brain feel better. As I get older I find myself more open to music that I haven't given a real chance. Helpful comment ✌🏼
And the harmonica gets snuck in at the tail end... just because they are perfect. Can't wait for more Supertramp reactions. This one was golden.
For me what stands out in this song is the incredibly subtle but dramatic drumming of Bob Seinbenberg. He has such a delicate yet powerful touch. I can’t get enough of his playing. A very underated player. I saw them live in 1979 and 1984, and it was such a joy.
Like I always say if PF and SD had a baby it's name would be Supertramp!🔥🤘✌
The strings and bassline and sax all combined really set it off for me.
When the sax came in and La fell back in his chair I lost it. 🤣
What’s up my brotha. That sounded sweet when the sax came in.
@@AirplayBeats looked like you were just like, "this is just too much greatness!"
The more I listen to Supretramp, the better they get.
Great reaction. So much tremendous music in the 70’s. I was lucky to grow up in that time.
Every song on this album, is a masterpiece. Deep soulful meaning within. Great reaction !
Saw these guys live. My god. It was a surreal experience. The piano and brass instruments were insane.
The piano going from 8 notes to 10 to 12 as the song progresses
Yes! They easily rate Zeppelin or Steely Dan. Their albums, "Crime of the Century," "Crisis, What Crisis?," "Even In the Quietest Moments," "Breakfast In America," and "...Famous Last Words," are all drop dead masterpieces. After Hodgson and Davies parted way, things sort of fell off a bit.
Brother where you bound for me is better than famous last words
The title cut from Brother Where You Bound was written during the Famous Last Words sessions but didn’t vibe with the rest of the album, even Roger Hodgson said it was a masterpiece. I think the subtraction of Roger and the addition of David Gilmour = AWESOME!
@@N92790 I think Rick held back the good stuff he had. Same for Roger - Eye of the Storm is much better than Famous Last Words.
One of the very few bands who can replicate tgeir studio sound in a live venue. Just goes to show their consumate musicianship. Saw them live at the L.A. Forum in '77. Best concert ever and have seen many (other bands)
Saw them live in Montréal 3 Times , magical
I remember waiting for this album to come out and listening to it it in the dark with headphones on. I was about 14. The whole album just gripped me an took me to a different place. It still does.
I never considered Supertramp to be at the same table as Zep, Rush, Queen, or Sabbath, but the way you guys react, make me want to put them right there. I will say that they like Steely Dan are their own genre. Very unique.
yeah, that "table" is kinda based on what you bring to it. I'm 58 and still have holes in my musical -- I'm really just talking rock here, nevermind the other genres, lol -- knowledge big enuf to drive trucks thru. Zep's my overall fave, but I have to include The WHo, beatles, Stones, the usual suspects in my "Top 5 or ten" But i agree that maybe if i heard enuf Supertramp, Steely, or, say, even Motorhead, I might shuffle my list.
This is why I enjoy your videos. Once again you have introduced me a classic rock fan to a new great song! Keep up the good work and I will keep watching. Thanks
Agreed! Nice when we give Other genres a second chance. Hits me different now.
If your gonna lay out $ for an album. This is definitely the one. This and Breakfast in America are pure gold.
Brilliant song, brilliant album, brilliant band. Go get that birthday vinyl as it is best in its uncompressed form and just turn it up to 11, you will never regret it.
One of the best album ending songs ever. Supertramp are kings of dynamics.
This was a La-removed-his-glasses type of awesome song. Che with the air piano. You gentleman are so enjoyable.
This album , as 16 y o it changed everything
Thank you for doing my favorite song of this album. I always appreciate your reactions from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin to Supertramp to whoever is in between!!! 👍💯
Greetings from Berlin Germany 😊😎
If marooned on an island and I could construct a playlist to take with me Crime of the Century would make the list.
I remember falling asleep while listening to the album this is off, and I awoke during the outtro to this song. I felt like I was on some astral plane somewhere. Was an incredible experience that I don’t think I’ll ever forget
That's cool! I can see how that would happen!
Thank you . Finally someone calls this song what it is: a masterpiece. It is easily my favorite song by Supertramp. I agree with the Pink Floyd vibes, it has the same majesty. Fool's overture should be your next stop. 👍🥴
This entire album i used to listen with my sisters in 80's.
My dad leave us a beautifull musical legacy and another things.❤
Supertramp stands shoulder to shoulder with other greats like Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Yes. They have the most impressive musical arrangements and compositions, their production was state of the art at the time, like the others above, they went next level as far as production goes. Supertramp is one of the 70's most criminally under recognized bands...not underrated...because everyone who ever hears them cant help but rate them highly.
Their live album Paris is one of the most underrated albums. You never hear it mentioned, but it's well worth a listen.
Keep going down the rabbit hole… there’s way more to come from Supertramp!
Supertramp is top tier. Definitely in the higher realms of the Rock umbrella.
You really made me happy with this reaction. I didn't buy albums from the other "bands in the room", but I bought every one of them from Supertramp. Save their song "Fools Overture" for when you are ready for their best (well OK some people can argue which is best: Crime of the Century, Rudy or Fool's Overture). Where you are in your Supertramp journey, I believe everything that you hear after Fool's Overture will pale in comparison, so I would hold off. Maybe do "Even on the Quietest Moments, next? (But NOT live; its very pared down). But when you listen to Fool's Overture, I beg you to do the version on the Live in Paris album. (And c'mon... Winston Churchill over the speakers, to an audience in Paris... that has got "feels" ) And for goodness sakes do not watch the video made from their Paris concerts for Fool's Overture. It changes the meaning and feel of that one song. And the mix on that video was done later. The band didnt approve. DO The LIVE ALBUM version. Plus, the Live Paris show has a better tempo for a cool part of it, than the original studio album had and the vocal crescendo has better mic'ing or reverb... something-- something about it makes that better. It's the premium version.
One very dramatic piece of music right there boys and girls. Luvuguys
I love the harmonica call back at the very end to the opening part on the first track, School. This and Boston’s first are my favorite albums ever!
Child of Vision will blow your minds…
I have three bands, Genesis, Pink Floyd and Supertramp. My favourite tracks from each begin with a C. Carpet Crawlers, Comfortably Numb and Crime of the Century.
This is my favourite reaction to my three tracks. That means a lot, thanks guys.
Trust me, there are so many more keyboard treats to come from them, if you keep reacting to Supertramp.
If you like Crime of the Century you will love listening to every cut from Even in the Quietest Moments. Please explore it next!
Was wondering when you would get to this masterpiece. Most underrated group ever IMO. So many great songs in their own unique bag.
Thanks for playing all 3 of my favorite Super Tramp songs, although there's still so many more songs of theirs that I like but "Rudy ","School " and this one👍🏻😊 are my favorites ❤
"Child Of Vision" is one of those.... ARE YOU KIDDING ME kind of songs.
A true masterpiece that is hardly know.
I first bought this album not knowing what I was getting into. It had such an interesting cover. They stole my heart!
Supertramp is in my top 3…..love this album😍
I feel you, at times I feel like this is one of the best songs ever made and most certainly one of the most enduring. Unless I'm listening to Pink Floyd and then I see them as peers.
Take the long way home or goodbye stranger next!!!
Memories! Driving to school jamming Loudly to this album! School, Bloody Well Right, COTC, Rudy..❤❤❤❤
“We’re not talking about the best bands without putting Supertramp in there.”
💯
You two are the judge and jury of progressive and mainstream rock......for sure.
Love it that you guys are digging into Supertramp, one of my all-time favorite bands. As I had mentioned in another review, the first time I saw them live out of 16 times they played this album start to finish in order. They ended the show with this song and walked offstage and the audiences' collective jaw was on the floor. I hope you react to Hide In Your Shell off this album next. Please keep up the Supertramp journey.
Pink Floyd, Led, Yes, Supertramp, Steely Dan, Genesis, Rush and the Stones are all in my room and sitting at my table! Nothing like the 70s for amazing music.
Glad to see your brother reaction.. remember he said he was left at home with Michael Jackson ❤
This right here, this is how you know your subscribers love your channel.
I love the Expos hat too!!!! Crime of the Century one of the best classic rock albums ever!!! Well done guys!
Greatest dramatic composition... just like "Fool's Overture".
no doubt at the same table!!
So glad you like this band. I wore this album out on vinyl when it was first released. I really hope you can react to my Favorite Supertramp tune, "Child of Vision" from Breakfast in America. Pretty sure it will blow your mind.
Buying this album and listening to it with my friends $6.00. Watching a great Reaction to it almost 50 years later: Priceless
best supertramp reaction ever! You guys get it
One guys talking about the piano the other hears everything ,nice reaction lads,
There is sooooooo much really good Supertramp stuff - you have just scratched the surface. Enjoy the trip.
They're on a different level
Crime Of The Century. Crisis What Crisis. Even In The Quietest Moments. Breakfast In America. All four are masterpieces.
This is why people like reaction videos. You guys nailed it.
I had the privilege of seeing them live on this tour. They played the entire album with a rear projection screen. This was the last song they played. I was like 16 years old. I also saw the "Even in the Quitest Moments" tour and "Breakfast in America" tour.
Can't wait till you hear "From now on." One of my Supertramp favorites. Thanks, guys.
Fools overture is a masterpiece I can't recommend it highly enough it's a rock opera in one brilliant track please listen it's a life changer
The drum beats from beginning to end were powerful.
Even in the quietest moments, you know these guys were amazing.
I think you are ready for 'Fool's Overture'!
To me Crime of The Century is the best Supertramp album and one of the top 5 records of all time! Every damn song is a masterpiece… Asylum?? Sick azz song!
Have to agree with you... Many will argue without listening to it. If you listen you must agree....
Drums always came to the forefront of many of their songs
The piano is sooooooo great on this track.🔥
The drum groove and fills are top shelf.
The recording quality is one of the best
I was lucky enough to see Supertramp in Milwaukee twice. First, in 1975 and then again in 1977 (this time from the SECOND row, just to the right of Rick Davies).
They closed the shows with this song both times. Supertramp is in my top 5. Their 5-album run from 1974-1980 is among the best in rock music history. The live album, 'Paris' is one of the best live records ever. Well worth listening to the entire 5 albums back-to-back to back.
Oh, the Pink Floyd vibe comes from sound engineer Alan Parsons (yeah, THAT guy). He's the same dude who also engineered the tiny record, 'Dark Side of the Moon!!' 🌚❤
YES ! As a teenager, I jammed to Supertramp all the time !! Great Band !!!
Seeing this song finish a show with the visuals you leave feeling like you've been locked behind bars floating out in space for eternity.... it feels great.
This album and I suggest Even in the Quietest Moments album as well. Absolutely brilliant and so easy to listen to!
Always have loved this group....the TWO lead singers made every song different and of course the band were brilliant musicians.
very Floyd-ish.........................
I LOVE Led Zeppelin....but 5 decades later I listen to Steely Dan, Supertramp, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant, and Robert Cray a whole lot more!
Gentle giant is definitely special
These guys need a taste of GG For all the proggers out there 😁
Woohoooo! The album closer. It's immaculate.
I saw them 3x in the 70's...phenomenal! Guitar, Drums, Sax, Keys, Bass, Vocals, their HEART! Crime is on my top 10 List and the Title track is a must every time I make an improvement on my turntable system!!
Supertramp fan since the 70's! The Crime of the Century album opens with the lone harmonica at the beginning of "School." The harmonica comes back in the closing seconds of "Crime" to close out the album. I always loved that! You guys do a great job of breaking down the music! You are a real treat to watch.
Crime of the Century is my favorite album and my favorite Supertramp song of all time. Still brings a tear when that sax kicks in. Off the same album try "Maybe Im a Beggar"
Maybe I'm A Beggar is from their first album but, yeah, it's another great one!
Supertramp are in a class of their own! What truly amazes me is that there are so many talented musicians that have come out of the UK! In my opinion, such a small country has produced the best and most creative music! What IS or IS NOT in their water supply?
That song is up in my all time favorites for all songs by any band. You were talking about the keys (they're awesome) but the sax and the strings section was in your face and drowning out the keys. Then I could hear the beginning of School starting in the background before this song was even over. That was too cool. Yes, I think they are as good as Zeppelin and Floyd and The Stones. They all sound so good but so different and thats the best part. I'm so glad I first heard this kind of music when my older siblings played it when I was 7 or 8 years old. You have to go through all Supertramp albums so you don't miss anything.
At least a thousand views from me. Thank you for crawling/walking/jogging/running/sprinting/dashing my memories.
Ha! I was going to say that I’m at least 20% of the total views they’ve gotten on this video.
My favorite part? “I didn’t think you was gonna go theeeeere.”
@@trishgorman6456Mine is when the sax starts. Possibly the greatest drop ever
I was one of the lucky ones who got to see them live in Barcelona 1979, and although I was young I will never forget it. Supertramp is one of my favorite bands and it makes my skin crawl every time I hear them.
Credit that incredible drum sound to Ken Scott, engineer and producer of this album. I had a chance to work with him on an album in 1986. He uses a severe amount of compression and then a little reverb to get that huge tom sound. You can also hear it on the What If album by the Dixie Dregs, also engineered and produced by Ken Scott.
