richb313 - I hate one upmanship bro, but I'm nearing 77 years, and this plus a thousand other songs from the 1970s take me aboard that time machine you refer to. People like Rob & Amber, Andy & Alex and many other reactors on RUclips convince me that the music of my youth has withstood the test of time, and will continue to inspire and be enjoyed well into the future.
Ah, Supertramp. Lostt one of my best friends last year to cancer and THIS group will always remind me of him. Was his favorite back in the day. R.I.P. Steve! You're still here in my heart. ✌
Supertramp was/is on one level with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc., in my opinion. One of the greatest bands of all time.
This was one of the songs on a tape that that special guy gave to me back in 1978. We were so in love and he put a bunch of songs together on a cassette tape and gave it to me. I was young and stupid and didn't stay with him out of duty reasons. When I was free, he had moved on. I hold on to that special time and all those songs to this day. Little did we both know that it would truly only be a "little bit" but lasted a life time for me.
Barb, your comment reminds me of my youth, when I used to make cassette tapes for my girlfriend. I still put together playlists on Spotify for car rides with my wife. Music is such a powerful thing
@@stevejoshua9536 I understand that famous saying. Having loved Dan G sincerely and truly, even though I don't think I will ever love someone like I do him again, that little time that we had always gets me by when things get rough in life. He is happily married now and I would never change that. Couldn't even if I tried. But, after all these years, that love he and I once shared for each other has been what's kept happiness from totally escaping me. It was enough to know such a good guy loved me once. It's kind of hard to explain but it's like that love never ceased but only grew in a different way. A way that I am grateful that he is happy even with someone else. A way that the person he is now, isn't my guy. But I have that short time where he is always my guy and as long as I remember that time and events that happened with us, I'm good. Probably sounds corny or dumb or even bizarre to some but it's all true. I think if everyone who loses someone that they shared true love with, would just embrace the time and good moments shared and move on in their life with that, there would be less craziness. To have been loved and to love, that's all we need.
This song is even more relevant today than when it was released. Great song. Always gives me hope and makes me smile. For a few minutes all is right in the world.
I actually attended a church that had a contemporary worship service and one service,which the sermon was referencing "Giving", the contemporary worship band played this song at the beginning of the service
Supertramp has two lead songwriters & singers, with VERY different kinds of songs. I used to love Roger's songs, & still do, but I've come to appreciate Rick's gravelly singing, & his piano playing, outstanding. There's a live version of "School" I've seen around RUclips recently, that might be fun to do if you want to see what the band looks like. The piano is fire, Jay will love.
'School' is definitely one of my 2 favorites - the other being 'Rudy' - but the live versions of both lack the impact of the studio versions - the start of School makes you jump the first time you hear it.
Totally agree! The constant tension between Rick’s bluesier style and Roger’s poppier, hippie-flavored approach made Supertramp so special. Roger (I think it was him, anyway) once said that Supertramp’s songs were basically an extended musical conversation between the two of them
@@yogibarista2818 I agree, the studio version is much more polished. But sometimes it's fun to actually SEE the artists. (I saw them in concert in April 1979, on their Breakfast in America tour. Dancing cereal boxes were fun, during that song.) Roger seems to have a stick up his ass, re: having Supertramp live videos taken down. That's my understanding, anyway, that it's Roger, & not Rick or the other band members.
Happy Memories of my youth and student days. Regularly listened to Supertramp. Glad to see younger generations discovering their great rhythm. I agree they were unique.
Maybe their most overrated tune next to the The Logical Song any real fan would know that. Just like any real fan knows that the two albums between the only two you know are their masterpieces
Reminds me of driving in the car with my mother in the 70's and 80's listening to Supertramp on her cassette deck. Lost her to cancer several years ago sadly. She was a big fan and so am I. She loved Neil Diamond also. She had great taste in music and I gained my musical appreciation from her.
I've heard this song in English, Spanish and Italian and they are all amazing renditions. Take the Long Way Home is a good one also. This brings back memories of nights on the beach, campfire and a friend with a guitar.
Back in the mid-seventies to early eighties there was no group bigger than Supertramp. They were crazy popular back then and everyone wanted to go to their concerts. They have so many hits and some of my faves are dreamer, school, even in the quietest moments, child of vision, lord is it mine, fools overture and goodbye stranger.
What I have always loved about this song is the universality of the lyrics. It can be linked to community, environment, love, world anything that means give a little bit of yourself and the rewards are amazing!. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I grew up with this and I can't believe that I've had times in my life where I've lost these and their progressive rock friends. I hadn't even heard of 'reaction videos' until recently! You guys are so friking pleasant and fun watch your reactions to these amazing bands and their music. Things were different then and I had one progressive rock FM radio station to listen to and me and many of my friends were building solid vinyl album collections. I could go on and on about this but I'll end with this. You guys make me smile!
Roger Hodgson has the high tenor lead while Rick Davies has more a baritone sound. Supertramp can be as dense as Pink Floyd in some of their songs but I mean that in a good way.
i've noticed that too. is it a concerted effort to avoid it,or are there just more popular supertramp songs keeping them from it? either way, you're "bloody well right"!
This song was actually used in the background. In the gas Station scene in Superman the Movie (1978). When Lois Lane is in a gas station to buy some gas for her rent a car.
Probably the most iconic 12 strings acoustic guitar song of that era. From the same album, you should check out *Lover boy* , it has a fun story and all the good stuff we like from Supertramp. If you do, make sure you let it play 'til the end, don't be tricked by the long silence.
Absolutely agree "Lover Boy" isn't particularly well known but, like you said, everything is in there. That's the one I always blast when I play the album in the car. That and "Fools Overture". Great suggestion.
My top five Supertramp suggestions. 1. Child of Vision 2. Child of Vision 3. Child of Vision 4. Child of Vision 5. Tie between Child of Vision And Child of Vision
Hopefully "Bloody Well Right" is your next pick. My favourite. Glad you have visited SuperTramp so often. All the instruments draw you back in. Super. How about some Tragically Hip? You'll both love them. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦🇨🇦
I had the honor to see Supertramp all three times they came to Fresno. Took my mom to the last concert and handed her her first joint! Such an amazing band
"Take The Long Way Home" and "Goodbye Stranger" are my two favourites but they do have a lot of great songs. Regarding the voice, the band has two different lead singers and they have very different voices.
Supertramp are an awesome band. Often overlooked but they've got loads of cracking songs. This is one of the first 7" single I owned in my teens. Especially love the sound of the 12-string acoustic. x
Roger Hodgson has a hit solo song with "Had a Dream (Sleeping with the Enemy)". Lyrically, it's pretty deep and it rocks a little harder than most Supertramp songs. You might want to give that one a listen.
Here's a Thin Lizzy - Supertramp connection. The Drummer of Supertramp Bob Siebenberg is a brother in law to Scott Gorham one of the guitarists of Thin Lizzy!
This is one of the songs that inspired me to take up the 12-string guitar. It's a very beautiful song. Next Supertramp song? "Lady" would be a good one, but if you want instrumental stuff, you really should check out the song "Fools Overture", and if you do, listen to the version by the guy in Supertramp who wrote it, Roger Hodgeson along with a full symphy. A very magical video!
"Give a Little Bit" (Released: 27 May 1977) was the first single from Supertramp's 5th studio album, "Even in the Quietest Moments..." (Released: 3 April 1977). "Give A Little Bit" reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. The album, "Even in the Quietest Moments...", reached number 16 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart in 1977 and was Supertramp's 1st Gold record (500,000 plus copies sold). The album also contains one of Supertramp's FM rock radio favorites, the nearly 11 minutes long "Fool's Overture."
Give a little a bit Give a little bit this should be your theme song. Give a smile . What a great song about kindness. Great vocals,strings , and horns in this song. Perfect combo.
I'm going to keep suggesting until it happens: The Guess Who playing American Woman. Great guitar riff. But I really like Super Tramp - have since about 1975 or 76.
When his voice comes in gradually, at first it just sounds like another wind instrument or synthesizer. It raises the hairs on your neck. Then there's that ending.
What would Supertramp be without Roger Hodgson, so talented and he always writes with a meaning that can be shared. I love Supertramp, I have all of their albums and I have all of Roger's solo albums.
As one of your older fans at 70 years old this channel and your reactions are like a time machine for me. Thanks for your reactions.
Me too & I just turned 80.
It’s great to see younger generations appreciate the music that we took for granted…….

And me .Will be 71 next😁
Absolutely one of the most criminally underrated bands….
true no one talks about this bAND NO ONE
Indeed
Except by it's fans, of which are millions all around the world.
All their last tour dates were sold out in 2015 (cancelled due to Rick Davies illness)
@@soofitnsexy I do.
This group was HUGE, Breakfast in America a massive album, not a bad song! Bloody Well Right should be next reaction! ❤
Quite right!😉
@@michellemccall6511 lol!!!!
I always thought it was one of there best. simple, yet so many hidden meanings in it.
Right. Bloody well right.
Supertramp rock!
I've always loved this song.. ✌❤🎶
“Crime of the Century”, “Hide In Your Shell”, and “Dreamer” are some of their best
Agree! Bloody Well Right is another great one!
Up-vote Crime of the Century.
@@marymiller4494 Absolutely...! "Bloody Well Right" on a loud clean system is their Best...! imo
Yes Dreamer they will like that song
'Dreamer for sure! Plus 'Lover Boy', 'Child Of Vision' and 'Even In The Quietest Moments'.
Ah, Supertramp. Lostt one of my best friends last year to cancer and THIS group will always remind me of him. Was his favorite back in the day. R.I.P. Steve! You're still here in my heart. ✌
I'm sorry.
💛
So sorry for your loss!
@@jewelsf1925 Thank you so much!
So did I he died in Australia I went over to see him before he passed one of the hardest things I have ever had to do,he was called Steve as well
Supertramp was/is on one level with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc., in my opinion. One of the greatest bands of all time.
On a level with The Beatles... no other band gets that close
100% agree
Much better.
Can you imagine when this song first hit the airwaves??? It's like yesterday for me!!
And such a "needed timeless song"
too...for every generation....
Supertramp is a force. Overlooked and forgotten by so many.
Our senior class play in high school was a production of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" set to background music by Supertramp.
I would pay to see that. I hope some producer sees your comment!
That sounds like a cool take.
Amazing! Lucky Senior class!
This was one of the songs on a tape that that special guy gave to me back in 1978. We were so in love and he put a bunch of songs together on a cassette tape and gave it to me.

Little did we both know that it would truly only be a "little bit" but lasted a life time for me.
They tell me it's better to have loved, and lost, than to never to have loved at all, but I find I'm still debating that conclusion.
Barb, your comment reminds me of my youth, when I used to make cassette tapes for my girlfriend. I still put together playlists on Spotify for car rides with my wife. Music is such a powerful thing

I've heard that love and lost thing before too. However, if you never try a potato chip, you'll never crave another.
@@barbsturgeon That's the FURTHEST thing from "corny" --that's WONDEFUL!
Thank you for coming home to Supertramp!!🤘🔥
This song is even more relevant today than when it was released. Great song. Always gives me hope and makes me smile. For a few minutes all is right in the world.
This is a wonderful song by a fantastic band. Please add "Bloody Well Right" to your list.
There is always something different going on in the background. Their arrangements are just incredible!
I actually attended a church that had a contemporary worship service and one service,which the sermon was referencing "Giving", the contemporary worship band played this song at the beginning of the service
as well they should!
Very cool!
Their EPIC songs: "Crime Of The Century," "Rudy," "The Meaning," and "Fool's Overture" would be amazing reactions!! ❤️🔥
Rudy really is on a train to nowhere.
mhm. the really big ones too mainstream? :P
Bloody well right!! It’s so good

“School” is probably my favorite Supertramp song. Then “Logical Song”. Seems to be a theme I have. Wonder why I flunked out? 🤔🙃
'School' is definitely one of my 2 favorites - the other being 'Rudy' - but the live versions of both lack the impact of the studio versions - the start of School makes you jump the first time you hear it.

Supertramp has a unique style to them, plus this a great song. So Iconic!!!
"Bloody Well Right" is absolutely their best tune. You are obviously saving the best for last.
He's right.... He's "Bloody Well Right"!
Yep - one of the best intros to a classic rock song, period.
Quite right!

Nice reaction to a sweet, sweet song.
"Bloody Well Right". That jazzy piano intro is amazing and the whole song has such a funky rhythm. Probably my favorite Supertramp piece.
Should see the 1983 live version of this song.... the crowd is enjoying it so much!
What I have always loved about this song is the universality of the lyrics. It can be linked to community, environment, love, world anything that means give a little bit of yourself and the rewards are amazing!. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love it. Can never go wrong with Supertramp. They are always good listening.
Roger Hodgson has the high tenor lead while Rick Davies has more a baritone sound. Supertramp can be as dense as Pink Floyd in some of their songs but I mean that in a good way.
Why so many reactors don't want to react to "School" by this brilliant music group? Come on. Just do it! :)

This song was actually used in the background. In the gas Station scene in Superman the Movie (1978). When Lois Lane is in a gas station to buy some gas for her rent a car.
I always loved "Dreamer" very unique and cool harmonies. Breakfast in America & Bloody well right are great songs too.
Y’all are making me nostalgic. I’m so glad I grew up in the BEST times for music.
They have so many fantastic songs. Love them. ❤️
"Dreamer" was the first song I heard from them back in 75, which made me love them
My personal favorite from Supertramp is Even in the Quietest Moments. But it must be the album version which is hard to find on RUclips sometimes.
Love that song
Great Song
The bass line is insane.
Please react to "School" My favorite song by Supertramp ! Awesome piano masterpiece!
One of my favorite songs all time.
In my opinion Breakfast in America front to back side to side one of best albums ever
Stumbled on this, this last weekend. Very enlightening. ruclips.net/video/mK-SgCQAtsg/видео.html
When those first guitar chords came on the radio, it always made me smile

Love me sum Supertramp ! 😍👏👍💯
A top 5 all time band, imo.
Sister Moonshine is a beautiful and lesser known song that I think you'd like.
MUSIC is inspired tune and harmonies, inspired tune and harmonies is MUSIC! What a beautiful and good Song!
Your next Supertramp, should be Fool's Overture
First song I ever heard by them, and I became an instant fan.
This song got me interested and becoming a fan of Supertramp. The Goo Goo Dolls did a nice cover of the tune!
Dreamer is a great song well worth a go!.
"Child Of Vision" is also a great tune by Supertramp..
I had the honor to see Supertramp all three times they came to Fresno. Took my mom to the last concert and handed her her first joint! Such an amazing band
If you haven’t done Supertramps “Take the the Long Way Home” yet. Please do it! Great Harmonica work in it!!
they've done it
They did it already. I'm just waiting for them to do Breakfast in America and It's Raining Again.
"Take The Long Way Home" and "Goodbye Stranger" are my two favourites but they do have a lot of great songs.
Regarding the voice, the band has two different lead singers and they have very different voices.
I agree with you.
They already reacted to them 8 months and 1 year ago, respectively
My fav Supertramp song, outstanding
Amber, "Make someone smile"
Supertramp, "Send a smile and show that you care"
Amber's theme song.
One of my favorite songs by then. I've heard it a billion times and it never gets old.
"Fool's Overture", "Crime Of The Century,", "Rudy", "school" are really worth checking out
Had the pleasure of seeing them as a 15 y/o mid 70's. memorable..
You’ll love the piano on “School”!
Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger !
For the best piano solo in any song... ever! Child of Vision - Supertramp Live from Paris
That album is excellence!
Supertramp are an awesome band. Often overlooked but they've got loads of cracking songs. This is one of the first 7" single I owned in my teens. Especially love the sound of the 12-string acoustic. x
Saw them in concert in Seattle in 1982.. they were amazing - this brings back good memories!! Thanks for a great reaction..
Always a good time for Supertramp
Check out “School”. Some excellent piano!
This group was huge in UK and Canada, you can still hear this song often on the rock stations
Oh man! Such a great song! Awesome band!
One of those songs I've heard hundreds of times of times over the last forty years and NEVER tire of.
Roger Hodgson has a hit solo song with "Had a Dream (Sleeping with the Enemy)". Lyrically, it's pretty deep and it rocks a little harder than most Supertramp songs. You might want to give that one a listen.
Oh heck yeah guys love this song
If you guys haven’t done Goodbye Stranger it is a must on the Supertramp journey
Here's a Thin Lizzy - Supertramp connection. The Drummer of Supertramp Bob Siebenberg is a brother in law to Scott Gorham one of the guitarists of Thin Lizzy!
This is one of the songs that inspired me to take up the 12-string guitar. It's a very beautiful song. Next Supertramp song?

My all time is "Child of Vision" you will Love the Saxophone
You guys totally need to listen to Child of Vision, that’s the best of their work.
"Give a Little Bit"
(Released: 27 May 1977) was the first single from Supertramp's 5th studio album, "Even in the Quietest Moments..." (Released: 3 April 1977). "Give A Little Bit" reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. The album, "Even in the Quietest Moments...", reached number 16 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart in 1977 and was Supertramp's 1st Gold record (500,000 plus copies sold). The album also contains one of Supertramp's FM rock radio favorites, the nearly 11 minutes long "Fool's Overture."
Hide in your shell is a song you should do next. This song was so under rated. I think it is one of their best.
"School" from Crime of the Century album. You'll love it.
The Goo Goo Dolls cover of Give A Little Bit is SO GOOD!!! Y'all should check it out
Absolutly LOGICAL SONG ❤️❤️❤️
Give a little a bit Give a little bit this should be your theme song. Give a smile . What a great song about kindness. Great vocals,strings , and horns in this song. Perfect combo.
"Dreamer" "Bloody Well Right" "It's Raining Again" "Oh, Darling" "Child Of Vision"
"Downstream " is a great song that is somewhat different, but you can still tell it's Supertramp. It's also from "Even in the Quietest Moments" album.
We should all "Give a Little Bit" more of our time to listen to Supertramp.
I'm going to keep suggesting until it happens: The Guess Who playing American Woman. Great guitar riff. But I really like Super Tramp - have since about 1975 or 76.
Magic Carpet Ride, too!
When his voice comes in gradually, at first it just sounds like another wind instrument or synthesizer. It raises the hairs on your neck.
Then there's that ending.
Please rewind the song after stopping it Rob, you are missing so many beautiful transitions
What would Supertramp be without Roger Hodgson, so talented and he always writes with a meaning that can be shared. I love Supertramp, I have all of their albums and I have all of Roger's solo albums.
one of my favorite bands and terribly understated... you want more? "DREAMER" and "BLOODY WELL RIGHT" 👌👌
Supertramp had two main singer songwriters. The vocals and instrumentals are different between the two, but both very good.
Take the long way home, breakfast in America, and Dreamer are all must listens by Supertramp.
I named one of my dogs Super Tramp! Love this band!
Great song!
