Their album "Crime Of The Century" is a masterpiece and one of the greatest concept albums of all time
Awesome album....Asylum is a all time classic. First concert I ever saw in grade 8 in 1979 Breakfast in America/Canada in Toronto...truly amazing band
Totally agree! Only a handful of artists who can match that degree of a masterpiece.
You should check out Crime of the Century and Even in the Quitest Moments, those are their heavy hitters as far as lyrics go.
Supertramp is a great English rock band formed in 1969. They had so many hit songs in the 70's-80's such as "Dreamer", "Give A Little Bit", "Breakfast In America", "Goodbye Stranger", "Rudy", "Take The Long Way Home", "School", "It's Raining Again", "Bloody Well Right", "My Kind Of Lady", "Cannonball", "I'm Beggin' You", "You Win, I Lose" etc.
I wish people would listen to ‘my kinda lady’ it’s so awesome, and your line was 👍🏻
Don't Sleep on "School", gives me goose bumps every time!
You forgot "Hide in Your Shell" & "Words Unspoken" ( self entitled 1970 debut album - sadly overlooked ).
another mans woman....Rick's solo on the grand piano 👌underrated musician
I've always believed these lyrics are referring to being sent off to boarding school at a very young age, something that's been traditional for the upper class in the UK. It's was scarring and traumatizing for these young boys to be away from their parents, for the sake of becoming successful and logical adults. This came out when I was a kid and I've always loved it.
Yes - that was my own interpretation...
Roger Hodgson said exactly the same thing. When he finished school he asked himself the question “who am I?”
So your interpretation is correct.
That's what I thought from the first time I heard it. I was only about 9 or 10 myself.
“Take the Long Way Home” is another 🔥 song by them.
Yes, one of my favorites ❤
Take the Long Way Home and GIve a Little Bit are other great songs if you like The Logical Song. Check out Lord, Is It Mine.
@@algallegolord ,is it mine 👌
This song was written by Roger (the vocalist sitting at his Wurlitzer) and recounts what happened to him as a child... going from a happy life with birds in the trees, to being sent to boarding school to make him logical, dependable, cynical. He’s questioning who he fundamentally is and why we as a society try to suppress that childish freedom and make us all reliable adult (workers).
One of my favorite bands.
I have listened to "The Logical Song" a million times and never got tired. I could not explain why. Masterpiece.
I will not suggest any specific Spertramp song to react, because wherever you go with Supertramp (studio version or live) you sure will be mind blown.
'Dreamer' also captures their overall unique sound.
That digital sound you heard was one of the first handheld electronic games. It was electronic football, and that double beep meant you went for it on fourth down and did NOT get the first down.
Thats also a ring tons of different landline phones had as well...nothing new at all.
It was the Mattel Football handheld. At the time, every kid had one or wanted one. Just a few little red dashes on the screen. To think we have handheld gaming pcs now is insane. Just to have witnessed it all happen through life is the best of all times to be alive in human history...except for the Idiocricy becoming reality part.. Very blessed as a Gen X but watching the decline and twisting false propaganda of our culture and tradition is real pain.
Yep - I had that game. I recognize that sound anywhere. LOL I thought that was some high tech stuff
I had that game too but I thought that was the sound it made when you scored a touchdown. That was almost 50 years ago so I'm not surprised that my memory is a little foggy.
@@SIXX2772Roger actually talked about this in an interview. It was indeed the 4th down turnover sound from a handheld Mattel Electronic Football game.
Love this band. My first "favorite band" ever. I was 7 years old when this song was released.
Them and ELO, same kind of vibe for a kid.
Thanks again!
Totally agree regarding Supertramp & ELO. I'd class them both as pop-prog.
I was 18😊
I'm around the same age as you as I was still 6 (turning 7 a few months later) when this was in the Top 40. We also regularly used to have ELO's 'Discovery' album playing on long car journeys.
The name Superramp originated from an autobiography Diary Of A Super-Tramp written by Welsh poet and writer W H Davies.
Great reaction. The entire album...a masterpiece. 👍
The song for me really captures that time in life before you go to school and suddenly you have all this pressure to learn what they want
But inside you are still loookng for birds in the trees. .
Love it! Awesome group! Please do their song “Goodbye Stranger “… you’ll love it.
I second this! Great tune
I second this!
“Oh Darling” by them is also a favorite of mine
I' ll third this
‘Tramp’ was analogous to ‘bum' in the olden days. A homeless man who wandered or rode the rails.
Hobo... tramp, vagabond
Exactly
This song is one of those that you must not only pay attention to the lyric but the arrangement as well.
I just adore your passion, appreciation and way of delving deeply into these songs that I grew up with which are so good. It's so fun to get to hear them through fresh ears again and get transported back to that time. What a rush of good memories... I was 7 or 8 when "The Logical Song" came out and it haunted me. Being an empath and raised on the radio (it was always on), I remember the somber feeling that would wash over me when this track started. It's beautifully haunting. I didn't quite understand it fully back then but it definitely created an impact, especially the part about "and then they sent me away..." TERRIFYING! I have worked in the Healing Arts for almost 30 years and I am just about to complete my training as an addiction/abuse recovery coach. I plan on focusing a lot on Inner Child work. I am just now realizing that song is all about the death of the Inner Child! Thanks, love, you have given me a gift in this reaction. I look forward to your future reactions! Please take a listen to "Give A Little Bit", it's a major feel good piece and one of their best, in my opinion:) Cheers!
"Lady and the Tramp" is a nice use of the word tramp. 🙂 I also really like the song "Take the Long Way Home." Another band with a horn section is Earth, Wind, and Fire. Good starters would be "September" or "Fantasy."
"Take the Long Way Home" by Supertramp will blow your mind...
In January 1970 Keith Baker left, and to avoid confusion with the similarly named Daddy Longlegs,[13] at Palmer's suggestion, the band changed its name to "Supertramp", a moniker inspired by The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp by William Henry Davies.[15]
This was a huge album and a huge song in the late 70's. I was 19 years old. It resonated with us!
Supertramp are an incredible band and well worth exploring. My favourite bands are Zeppelin , Rush and a lot of Metal bands but Supertramp have a special place in my heart.
Great band and soooo many innovative sounds in their music. I think they could have even made a box of tik taks sound great.
I absolutely loved this song since hearing it as a kid in '78. Second only to Blondie's Heart of Glass as my favorite songs of all time, even after all these years.
Haven't heard this in a while, gave me the chills ❤ Supertramp Perfection. Perfect melody, perfect lyrics, perfect harmonies, perfect sax. 🎷🔥🎷🔥🎷
The guitar solo at the end of "Goodbye Stranger" is a classic. One of the top 100 solos of all time. Roger Hodgson is a genius! That cell phone sound was an old alarm clock.
No, it was a Mattel football game
So many songs have weak lyrics and depend on the music to carry the song, this song has awesome lyrics and an unusual tune. Great song!

Their song Bloody well Right is AMAZING!!! You'll love the Sax and the entire instrumental part!
One of my all time favorite songs, part of my growing up. So catchy, so clever and sophisticated, great lyrics, great music and melody, just never get tired of listening to it. On all of my playlists. Thanks for the review.
Try "The Long Way Home" and "Dreamer". Also "Goodbye Stranger" is great and "Bloody Well Right".
There are several great songs to delve in to by this great band, e.g. "Goodbye Stranger", "Bloody Well Right", "Dreamer", "Give a Little Bit", "It's Raining Again", and my personal favourite "Take the Long Way Home".
I agree, these songs are a must for any future Supertramp fan.
Love them all, but I always thought casual conversations was really underrated!
The whole "Breakfast in America" album is good, many great songs!
That band was fire for sure! Breakfast in America is one of the best albums because almost every song was a hit. Loved them.
Appreciate when you say you missed out 60/70s. It was a different time with sooo many incredible rock bands as well as other music genres. There were album stores in every town. So you would go and buy albums. Sometimes just because you liked the cover. And get introduced to some great stuff. Unfortunately you well never experience listening to music like this. Full albums of great artists had so many songs that you well never hear. There are just to many of them for you to experience. The more you listen to an album. The more you got into the music. You only experience a one time listen of a song. We were able to listen to them many times and make a better connection to the song and music.
For just one example. Listen to this album where this song is from. Breakfast In America. I dare ya. lol . And you well get just a small glimpse of what we enjoyed with all the other great albums.
I was a child in the 70’s and one of my favorite
Pastimes was browsing the music section of the grocery store while my parents shopped. Those album covers and names enamored me. Breakfast in America, in particular, stood out as particularly notable.
I was a teenager when this music influenced me. Chicago was another. I played clarinet because of these bands. Groovy
Great sax in Shine On You Crazy Diamond Pink Floyd and Traffic's Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys.
There was early Supertramp, their first 2 albums, then starting in 1974 middle or "classic period" Supertramp, five albums, then later Supertramp which is after Hodgson quit the group in 1983, four albums. The middle 5 albums are the towering pinnacle of the musical career of this group.
I love how you have a need to be informed, lots of talking on your channel, but it is good, instrospective stuff. Thanks man. Please do more Supertramp. School is a good one with similar theme to this. much love brother
The whole album "Breakfast in America" is great, so are the whole albums "Crime of the Century" and "Even in the Quietist Moments". I rank them in that order.
thanks, MMB - I love Supertramp - they were a very talented group - also listen to "School"...one of my favorites... when you have time & inclination! appreciate your reaction! (p.s. if you appreciate their instrumentation, you might also like British band "Squeeze".. almost everything they did was astonishingly balanced... you may already have heard "Tempted" ... a hit for them, but they have so many more fun and creative songs...).. oh, and also, if you like Sax solos... check out "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty.. lol
In Britain, a Tramp is a homeless person. Sometimes staying local, sometimes traveling like the hobos on the rails in America.
Its a long song but Give a little bit is one of their best
I love that song.❤️✌️🌼
Are you sure your not thinking of Fools Overture? GALB is a regulation single time wise.
That sound was a Matel Electronic Football Game from the late 70’s, I still have mine.
This is such a deep song. You’re born into a fabulous world, then by the time you go to school, it’s all over. Then it’s all about being popular and clever, making money, and that’s the way it stays until you’re so very much older and you realise you’ve missed it and it’s too late to start again.
Their name came from a novel by W.H. Davies called "The Autobiography of a Super Tramp".
one of the very few bands who could replicate their studio sound in a live setting
YES! Supertramp is an amazing group of phenomenal talent, & Rodger Hodgson is a genius. Clicked “like” already, hope you enjoy this (looking forward to seeing you react to the SAX 😁) & definitely would like to see more (two albums are just top notch: “Breakfast in America”….the entire selection is fire 🔥& “Crime of the Century”) -my personal favorite song is “Lord is it Mine”.
Great reaction, as always. I was amazed, when I first heard this band a few years ago, particularly by this song and "Goodby Stranger."
Loved your reaction!! 🎼 great song, voice, music and lyrics!! I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️
What a day man I'm kicking back enjoying your stuff Thanks so much for all you do appreciate the hard work I know it's not easy to edit this and get it out Thanks again
They took their name from a book published in 1908 by author William Henry Davies. The main subject matter of the book was about the lives of tramps living in the UK, US and Canada at the end of the nineteenth century. The book was titled
"The Autobiography of a Super-tramp".
"Lord is it mine", "Even in the quietest moments", "Casual conversations" the list of poetic, musical, masterpieces goes on.
Supertramp is up there for me with Yes, Genesis and Steely Dan. They don't make music like this anymore!! Make sure & listen to studio versions...sounds are more pronounced.
Blood Sweat and Tears is a great band with Horns
KC and the Sunshine band is another great band with Horns
He was sent to Stowe public school. I played with two of his friends in a band from those schooldays in London in the 70's. They were part of the band that he formed at school. Another ex pupil is Richard Branson!
I've lived this song a time or two oooh
They have a great variety in their catalogue.
This guy is a trip. He’s got me hooked
Welcome to the Supertramp rabbit hole! Next up should be "Take The Long Way Home", then "Goodbye Stranger", then "Crime Of The Century", and then "Breakfast In America", and after that, "Bloody Well Right".
Supertramp "It's Raining Again"...Nuff Said.
Tramp by definition isn’t only what you are thinking. Tramp also means hobo. drifter, vagrant, etc.. someone who drifts place to place. But it IS an older term that was popular in 1920s.
My fav line is “Watch what you say they’ll be calling you a radical, a liberal, criminal “. Id happily take that label.😂
I never noticed it before, but this song is about "woke" thinking before it had a name. "They will call you a radical" is a great line. This song takes on even more meaning today. Great reaction. I'm 76 yrs old and love d this song from the first time I heard it on the album BIA> Dont bend to their woke warped thinking and attempted censorship.
You know this song is about the strict cynical people who call dreamers and idealist people "radicals" for not wearing a suit and tie and not cutting their hair, right? Directly inspired by one of the members being sent away to boarding school. Boarding schools aren't exactly "woke" but nice try.
Jeez, what is it with you snowflake american types always trying to fit something around your agenda? I'm dumbfounded how you've managed to live this long.
I'm not sure where "woke" comes in to play here and if it does isn't it saying tge oposite?. It's about conservative society that wants you to fit in, to become cynical, clinical, a vegetable. Those who don't are seen as radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal.
"Give a little bit" was another one of their huge bangers back then..
Great reaction. Here’s some bands/tracks with great horn sections or segments -
Teardrop Explodes - Reward
Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street
Average White Band - Pick Up The Pieces
Groove Armada - At The River
Back then a tramp primarily meant a guy who just wandered around from place to place, a "panhandler", maybe working for a few bucks here and there, then moving on. Really like their song Take The Long Way Home.
Yes was a successful 70's British Progressive Rock band. Recommend their song Roundabout (Prog rock on steroids!) as a great introduction. I think instrumentally it will impress your socks off if you're wearing any! Production quality is outstanding!They also had hits in the 80's like Owner of a Lonely Heart, which reflected a complete change in style and sound as a band.
You're missing a lot without headphones! The engineering of the 70's was special and there are sounds you can only really appreciate with headphones.
Crime of the century... My, fave album of all... Bought it in 75
If you want to react to a song with great lyrics, a fantastic saxophone solo and a great guitar solo, find Baker Street by the late great Gerry Rafferty. One of the very best.
This was was so FRESH & BEAUTIFUL to us in the day. I ❤Supertramp!😊
This album is widely regarded as a masterpiece, and it came out when I was in high school and in my mind it's mostly kind of pop rock with just a hint of progressive but it's so well done and very provocative and yeah I totally love that sex solo. And yes Chicago I've been following you on that and I would also say Money by Pink Floyd off of Dark Side of the Moon features a really amazing sax solo followed by a really amazing guitar solo.
They do such a great job of recreating the studio sound in a live show. 2 keyboards and one moves over to sax and adding claps and singing background and a whistle sound effect. Such fun in their songs as well as musicianship and skills. That sound was a alarm clock sound not a cell phone (they weren't invented for another 20 years).
That sound was a handheld Mattel Electronic Football game. I still have two of them. I know.
Glad you discovered Super tramp.. Listen to a complete album. This is an album type of band. Best concert I ever saw. Blew me away. They played as good live as what their recorded album sounded like. Concert was on time, no technical glitches, sound balance amazing, no fuss just pure talent and professionalism. That is not easy to achieve in a hockey arena.(I always thought the name was a take on tramp steamers,)
Baby you need headphones or earbuds.. you are missing out on some wonderful sounds you can't hear without them. You my friend are adorable and growing in who you are to be.. keep going.
Love some Supertramp! The lyrics to their songs are always interesting. Late 70s magic. My favourite tracks include Take the Long Way Home, Dreamer and Breakfast in America.
Hi, long shot, but you're not by any strange chance the Mandy I knew from H P & F an age ago married to J S ? If so, sorry about that prank...Hope you are well whoever you are :o)) Agree about Gerry Rafferty BTW.
Ok, I’m subscribing…really like your analysis, sincerity & appreciation of music. These guys were next level fantastic, they’re always on my playlist. (That “cell phone” sound was from a handheld electronic football game; I know firsthand because I owned one😊. Hope you do more of this group. [I second another commenter that “Baker Street” by Gerry Rafferty must go on you reaction list. Also give “The Little River Band” a try, another wonderful group!
So many good suggests - School , Cannonball , Goodbye Stranger
Love Supertramp!
The "Cellphone" was played in. It illustrates the word "digital" - it definitely is a sample they put in! Even in the live version.
Think of it: this was the time when electronic sounds started. And the first telephones came on the market where you didn't have a bell ringing but an electrically produced sound was coming from them. No mobiles, of course, but electric phones and digitally produced sounds started. This was a sound connected to the word "digital" that's all, and it was a played-in sample.
PS: this was clear to me when I first heard the song in 1988, I never wondered what "made" the sound.
That sound that you are curious about comes from the very first handheld electronic football game.
SUPERTRAMP = HEADPHONES 🎶🎶 It's music made for headphones 🎶🎶. 🇸🇪❤️🇺🇲❤️🇸🇪 🎶🎶
Have not searched your history but Sax and piano…Billy Joel and Scenes from an Italian Restaurant is one of the most fun romps. Find the live version.
Supertramp was the real deal. 🙂Their instrumentation was always top tier. So many great songs for you to enjoy. Long Way Home is my personal favorite though. I think the "cell phone" sound is supposed to be an alarm clock? Time to get up and conform? Just a thought!
Hello!
It was such a different world in the 1960, 1970s, early 1980s
No cell phones
No Internet
No cable (it was available, but for most people it was prohibitively expensive.)
We had tv....3 channels (ABC, NBC and CBS) on a clear you could get PBS and less than a handful of UHF channels
Radio was the only MOBILE entertainment....transistor radios and radios in the car....
A completely different world!
The radio airwaves were full of amazing music brought to us by an array of great artists, bands and musicians.
You could hardly change the channel without finding a GREAT song.
We were spoiled.
SuperStramp dominated the radio airwaves in their prime. You should dive into their work and also give Steely Dan a listen to if you like horns.
Supertramps 'Rudy' is one of my all time favourite tracks. Definitely check that one out.
'Bloody Well Right' is another stunner.
This is my favorite Supertramp song!!!
LOL...That's a landline ring...that's where cell phones got it from. lol
i have a poster of their concert world tour in 1984 ,used to have it up on my old bedroom wall in our family home ,moved on and come across it nearly 40 years later ,framed it and put it on my wall ,its of the mime/tight rope artist looking back but you dont see the scissors ready to cut the rope, its very intriguing, a bit boring i know but it probably one of my lifes prized possessions 😊...another mans woman ,now theres a masterpiece ❤
That was awesome :) Thanks! Good journey...Peace!
This came out when I was in HS. It was summer laying out/hanging out after work music.
Maybe the most underrated band of this era! I don't mean by people of this era, I'm talking about today. Almost never see them in the top bands lists.
I really like the quick FYI about what your playing. Sometimes I learn things. Great Job!
Deep rabbit hole!
Bbbbbbbloody marvellous .. one of the best bands ever
TRUST BRO THIS I GIVE YOU HAVE NOT HEARD! SuperTramp with "orchestra" Man that one is LIT!
Definitely do more supertramp
Sending your child to boarding school is where Freddie Mercury wound up. He chose music as an avenue as well. ❤
I used love to play their music while driving down the road.
When I first heard this song, when it came out, I did the same "what the heck is that sound they used?".
At the time, there was a hand-held electronic football game that was very popular. My friends and I all agreed that 'that sound' was the same sound that football game made whenever you made a touchdown.
Enjoy the journey. A lot of material to choose from. Can get a little bit too poppy for me with some tunes but overall a really great trip to take
You need more Supertramp in your life, trust me, you won't regret it. The "digital sound" was likely a sound-bite recording.
From Wikipedia, "Among the contemporary sound effects in this song are the 'tackled' sound from a Mattel electronic football game - popular at the time this song was released." This is the "cellphone sound" in the song you're asking about.
Forgot to mention, Supertramp Goodbye Stranger should be watched live.
“Breakfast in America” one of the best classic artwork albums !
The first handheld cellular mobile phone was demonstrated by John F. Mitchell and Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973, using a handset weighing 2 kilograms (4.4 lb). The first commercial automated cellular network (1G) analog was launched in Japan by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone in 1979. We used to call early models "bricks" for the obvious reason.
