I love watching both of them, how they listen to each other, and their interpretations, They both make me smile, glad they found each other, they keep listening to each other, they will have a life of blessings
When I was expecting my twins, I went to two of their concerts, they love Supertramp, they’re 42 now, they hear everything before they’re born!! Watching them, when certain music plays, is so interesting
Yes, like you my son is now 45 and although I never had the chance to see them in Concert, I did see Frampton twice, and ACDC with Bon Scott, and many, many others...(2) groups that I missed and would have loved to see were, Boston & Journey!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Supertramp, a massive band of the 70's and still on my playlist today. I agree with everybody who suggests that you should react to more Supertramp. There are far too many great songs from which to choose, so I'm just going to point you towards the albums "Crisis, What Crisis" and "Crime of the Century." Even our kids were into these songs and would sing along! Especially the family favourite "Dreamer." You two are a joy. Keep on keeping on. 🙂🙏🙂
I saw Supertramp live for the second time in 1977. My friend borrowed his mom's credit card a few weeks earlier to buy the tickets by phone. When the tickets arrived, we were shocked!! We ended up in the SECOND ROW CENTER, just to the right of Rick Davies!! Over 45 years later, still my favorite concert!!
An excellent merger of hippie-era "let's make the world a better place" lyrics and layered 1970s jazz-influenced music that wouldn't be out of place on a Steely Dan tune. Classic. No wonder Lex remembers it so well.
Love watching your reaction to the songs I grew up with. Not just Supertramp but Manfred Manns Earth Band, Fleetwood Mac and so many more. Seen them all in concert, alas will never do so again so RUclips is such a blessing Thanks for the entertainment
This song makes me emotional. Teary eyed. Brilliant song from a talented brilliant band. Thanks for this! Tears of joy! " see the man with the lonely eyes, oh take his hand you'll be surprised" - that line gets me every time.
Nice reaction guys; love me some Supertramp. Funny how music can take you somewhere, in a nostalgic sense, even though you can't remember being in that place before. That feeling of taking you home. Like Roger states in the song... "don't you need to feel at home?". I think we all long for that safe spot and if we can be transported there for only a few minutes, by the power of music, then magic is still alive. ✌️
"Give a Little Bit" was in the movie Superman. I love the band. It's the band of my youth. My personal favorite is, "Sister Moonshine", but check out "School" and "Dreamer".
Me too. I grew up with Supertramp as my favourite group. The earlier periods were the best. In later years not all songs on a LP were that good as before, but still there were some pearls to find.
It bugs me that they cut the song out of Superman (along with The Platters and Bill Haley) for the non-theatrical versions of the film. It was presumably cheaper to replace it with generic music and static.
Definitivamente Lex eres de nuestra epoca , porque los 60 ,70 y 80 sentaron las bases de la verdadera música de calidad que nunca morirá. Tengo 65 años y se estoy seguro que no se repetirá. Todo real y talento natural, sin computadores que te arreglan hasta la voz.
Per Songfacts Supertramp singer/gutiarist Roger Hodgson wrote this song when he was a teenager, but didn't record it until much later. It was about five years between when he wrote the song and when he brought it to the band. When we spoke with Hodgson in 2012, he explained: "I think it's a great song. I didn't realize it was when I first wrote it. It actually took me six years before I even brought it to the band. But I wrote it I think around 1970. That time, the late '60s, early '70s, was a very idealistic time, one of hope, a lot of peace and love and the dream of the '60s was still very alive and maturing, if you like. The Beatles had put out 'All You Need Is Love' a year prior to that. I believed in love - it was always for love - and just felt that was the most important thing in life. That song has really taken on a life of its own, and I think it's even more relevant today than when I wrote it. Because we really are needing to value love in a much deeper way, and also we're needing to care. The song is basically saying: just show you care. You know, reach out and show you care. So in concert it's the perfect show closer, because what I try to do in my show over two hours is unify the audience and unify all of us. So that at the end, when everyone stands up for 'Give A Little Bit,' they're open and ready to open their hearts and sing at the top of their lungs and go away with a smile on their face. And that song really does, it has a very pure energy. The moment I start, people just start smiling. It's amazing."
Such a great song; it's been one of my favorites since 1981. BTW: Lex had the lyrics mostly right, "There's so much that we need to share, So send a smile and show you care".
I saw the 'Tramps in 1977 when I was a teenager in high school; all of us were in our prime! LOL. Good music and I am glad you discovered this band. Enjoy. Smile.
Released 27 May 1977 Give a Little Bit" is the opening song on Supertramp's 1977 album Even in the Quietest Moments... The song was released as a single that same year and became an international hit for the band, peaking at number 15 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. It was a chart hit in the band's native UK, reaching number 29 on the UK Singles Chart. The single was re-released in 1992 to raise funds for the ITV Telethon Charity event, but failed to chart. Its writing credits are given to Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, although it is a Hodgson composition.[4] Hodgson and Davies shared writing credits from 1974 until 1983, when Hodgson left Supertramp. "Give a Little Bit" was first written by Hodgson when he was 19 or 20 years old before it was introduced to the band for recording five to six years later. Hodgson stated that the song was inspired by the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love", released during the love and peace movement of the 1960s. Drummer Bob Siebenberg recounted that "Roger had been working at Malibu for quite a while on this tune. I'd hear the song in hotel rooms and places like that. He had the song on a little tape when I first joined the band so I was quite familiar with the tune. We tried out various drum things and it seemed right to ride it along on the snare drum giving it something almost like a train beat. So it's all on the snare and bass drum, with no tom-tom fills or anything.
Love you guys. Brad so focused on the lyrics and Lex just letting it flow. Saw them at the garden MSG in the late 70's. Amazing. Elton John & The Coneheads came out and sang back up on Good Bye Stranger. Got a peck on the cheek after the show from Jari Shaktar, a waitress I worked with but never saw again.
This is from one the album ''Even In The Quitest Moments'' which is good from start to finish, all A side songs. There was a LOT of albums like that in those days, Bowie had several in a row
All those nights jamming at parties, houseboat trips, campfires with multiple acoustic guitars, sometimes me on bass. We always played this one. Had to do the solo on harmonica. Imagine a bass player with harmonica holder around his neck. Looked stupid, but gotta do it.
I love the Eddy t-shirt. That's probably one of the most iconic shirts out there for rockers. I would say that and maybe GnR and Pink Floyd's shirts. Probably for old school, the Rolling Stone tongue shirt.
You guys should react to more Supertramp… "Bloody Well Right", "Dreamer", "Hide In Your Shell", "From Now On", "Rudy", "School", "Fool's Overture", "Ain't Nobody but Me", "Sister Moonshine", "Two of Us", "Child of Vision", "Take the Long Way Home" 🎸🤘
I remember listening to this song on the radio as a young man. Even though we were poor, school lunch program and all of it....my pops and mom still loved to for drive to nice far off forest parks for us kids to play and explore. Loved it. Thanks for the bring back the memories :)
This song was playing on the car radio when Lois Lane's car was being swallowed up by an earthquake. She died and Superman Christopher Reeves turned time back to save her. I saw the movie on TV and they took the song out for some reason.
Lex you did get it right, 'there's so much that we need to share' is at the beginning at .55 in the video! As soon as you said it I thought he's already sung that bit! Your baby hears the music in the womb, water is a better conductor than air...I listened to Enya a lot when I was pregnant with my daughter and when she was born sometimes the only thing that would settle her was Enya and it was also the first music she sang and danced to at 6 months old while holding onto the cupboard.
In 2004 the Goo Goo Dolls did a cover of this song, Lex may have heard that and that's why she doesn't remember it the same way, their cover was a bit different than the original.
Supertramp great band Underrated in my opinion I could listen to "Take the long way home" on repeat for hours So, you think you're a Romeo, Playing a part in a picture show Well, take the long way home
When Roger Hodgson said goodbye (he was going to go solo) live at a concert in Germany, he played this song as a gift to the audience and thanks to the band.
Thanks for reacting to my favourite Supertramp song. You may have heard a cover from the 2000' s from the Goo Goo Dolls. Instead of the saxophone solo they had a guitar solo.
Love this song. You're right - Supertramp uses the saxophone very well, often as a texture. John Helliwell was their saxophone and clarinet player - his skills added a lot tot he Supertramp sound. "Dreamer" or "Lady" should be your next Supertramp hit :)
One of my favorite songs. It seems about free love and loving one another. Like "Love the One You're With" by CSN. One of the best endings of a song. "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel has a great ending too.
Now you gone and opened up a can of worms.....Supertramp were MASTERS of writing hit songs (along the lines of the beatles for comparison) in chronological order listen to (1974) School, Dreamer. Crime of the Century, Bloody Well Right (1975) Lady, Sister Moonshine, (1977) Even in the Quietest Moments, Fools Overture, (you already hit Give A Little Bit from the same album) (1979) The Logical Song, Goodbye Stranger, Breakfast in America, and Take The Long Way Home
What a wonderful happy song, you guys are great. You are gonna be a great Mom,Lex..I have faith in you Brad, you will be a good Dad, my best to the 3 of you.
Lex is such a joy to watch...her smile when she starts getting into the music and likes the melody... priceless 😊
right???
@@bakerman10 It's why I keep coming back.
If I had a Lex simp for every person I was I'd be them.

@@lindajohnsen6235 me too. I like both. The love between them is so nice to see. The music might be less, seeing them is enough.

One of my all time favorites. This song sounds great and has a timeless message.
You got a special girl in Lex. She isnt not a ordinary woman!
Such a beautiful and pure soul. Rare indeed.
She is like finding a diamond in the rough!
she is a child in a grown up body... i don't think thats good for the most part but who am i to talk..
@@xDporrada yeah who are you to say?
@@xDporrada Are you saying that we’re supposed to act like adults when listening to music? How fucking weird.

Give a little bit makes me think of a Good Acid Trip at a Festival lol
Love watching your reaction to the songs I grew up with. Not just Supertramp but Manfred Manns Earth Band, Fleetwood Mac and so many more. Seen them all in concert, alas will never do so again so RUclips is such a blessing
Thanks for the entertainment
Brad & Lex, you will love their "Dreamer" and “It’s Raining Again”!!!
Yup 'Dreamer', my 1st Supertramp 7" single 👍
LOVE its raining again
This song makes me emotional. Teary eyed. Brilliant song from a talented brilliant band. Thanks for this! Tears of joy! " see the man with the lonely eyes, oh take his hand you'll be surprised" - that line gets me every time.

What a great story! Roger seemed to always gravitate to the more loving side of life.
This song made it into commercials ..good morning commute song

Great song pick...another classic, timeless, sing by a great band...
The gift of music. See the smile 😊
Feel good songs stuck in my memories, Supertramp should be part of every childhood.
.My fav Supertramp song, thanks for showing it to the couch family!
Amazing band ✌️🕶💙🏴
The Goo Goo Dolls covered this live at a concert in Buffalo NY on July 4th 2004. Great cover, and definitely worth checking out.
Supertramp are /were so huge, I still llisten to them regularly
From one of the greatest rock albums of all time, Even in the Quietest Moments.....
this has always been one of my favorite songs by SUPERTRAMP
Supertramp has so many great songs. You should check out "Take The Long Way Home" next.
That’s my favorite
@@melaniesweeten5401 I think they already did a reaction to that song

My first real rock concert in San Diego, 1979. It was an awesome show, and this is one of my favorite Supertramp songs.
Love that song. It's a classic. Thanks, cats.
Supertramp's early albums were absolute perfection.
I love Supertramp ❤️
One of my top 10 favourite bands of all time… more please!
there's a story that everyone misses, give a little bit, we need to share, come along too, it's about the world and all it's peoples.
Love the guitar work on this one. Good song!
All those nights jamming at parties, houseboat trips, campfires with multiple acoustic guitars, sometimes me on bass. We always played this one. Had to do the solo on harmonica. Imagine a bass player with harmonica holder around his neck. Looked stupid, but gotta do it.
Love by its very nature is infinite so even if he/she loves you a little bit thats a good thing!
"There's so much that we need to share / so send a smile and show you care."
Supertramp "It's Raining Again"...Nuff Said.
the video to "Its Raining Again" is such an MTV vibe...the song is ace too...the channel would love it!!
I love the Eddy t-shirt. That's probably one of the most iconic shirts out there for rockers. I would say that and maybe GnR and Pink Floyd's shirts. Probably for old school, the Rolling Stone tongue shirt.
That Killers tee is where its at
You guys should react to more Supertramp…
"Bloody Well Right", "Dreamer", "Hide In Your Shell", "From Now On", "Rudy", "School", "Fool's Overture", "Ain't Nobody but Me", "Sister Moonshine", "Two of Us", "Child of Vision", "Take the Long Way Home"
🎸🤘
HOW could you leave Casual Conversations off your list?
Love love Supertramp!! My favorite is “Lord is it mine” !
Absolutely! I especially love Roger's live version!! ☺️
I remember listening to this song on the radio as a young man.

I remember this ground breaking song when my brother joined a group of his friends to play this song on 12 string guitars. Amazing!!

Lex, Goo Goo Dolls covered this song early 2000's cuz it's such a beautiful song.
Maybe try their version next. 👍🏽
Great band, and I thought they did a great cover of Fleetwood Mac's "I Don't Want to Know", too!
Love to see both of your joy
Roger Hodgson, who took the lead vocals on this song, is one of the best musical ad libers of all time.
love this song
truly a beautiful song
the bass in this one is a gooder 1
Super Song!!! & Super Iron Maiden Killer T-Shirt!!! LOVE from The Netherlands!
saw them 3 times, 2 times in 70s and 1 time in the 80s! they were always 🔥✌🤘

Yeah I just wrote this up top, I didn't realize you had already made this comment, I'm going to leave mine just so she might see it.
That song was playing in the background of the very first Superman movie.
Can not go wrong with ANY SuperTramp!
Huge albums from this group in the 70's..
Love this song. You're right - Supertramp uses the saxophone very well, often as a texture. John Helliwell was their saxophone and clarinet player - his skills added a lot tot he Supertramp sound. "Dreamer" or "Lady" should be your next Supertramp hit :)
I remember this song from when I was a kid I really liked it and looked forward to it coming on the radio
Recorded in the mountains just west of me. The album cover says it all!
Love lex and her feelings when into a song
One of my favorite songs. It seems about free love and loving one another. Like "Love the One You're With" by CSN. One of the best endings of a song. "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel has a great ending too.
"Give a Little Bit" was released in 1977.
A few lines were heard playing in _Superman: The Movie. 1978_
next songs from Supertramp definitely should be "School" and "Fool's overture"....
That brings back memories for sure!
Love the MAIDEN shirt! I was just thinking about Supertramp earlier. The word I came up with was "QUIRKY"!
Got that ... I'm kind of in a similar biographical situation at the moment! folks, you two are an inspiration!
Now you gone and opened up a can of worms.....Supertramp were MASTERS of writing hit songs (along the lines of the beatles for comparison) in chronological order listen to (1974) School, Dreamer. Crime of the Century, Bloody Well Right (1975) Lady, Sister Moonshine, (1977) Even in the Quietest Moments, Fools Overture, (you already hit Give A Little Bit from the same album) (1979) The Logical Song, Goodbye Stranger, Breakfast in America, and Take The Long Way Home
One of those songs where once I heard the opening chord, volume went up on the car radio 🙂
What a wonderful happy song, you guys are great. You are gonna be a great Mom,Lex..I have faith in you Brad, you will be a good Dad, my best to the 3 of you.
This song always put me in a good mood. Reminds me of summer time at a lake.
Such an up lifting song
The Goo Goo Dolls did a remake of this. Loveeee Supertramp!
This song was used as an excerpt in the 1978 movie "Superman"
Awesome Maiden shirt. "Killers" is my 2nd favorite Iron Maiden album.
Listen to their song Casual Conversations..... One of many great songs by Supertramp!
Such an uplifting message ❤️.
Great old song,. You can feel some pain in the feller's voice. 1977
Every time I hear this song, I think of the film Superman (1978) with Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, and Ned Beatty.
she really enjoys the songs like a little kid, look at her smile hahaha
Super Tramp, School. Listen that one if haven't already.
I'm so happy to see you guys get back to Supertramp. They are one of my favorite bands. They are a great progrock band.
