Many people say that Zeppelin is the best band ever. They’re my personal favorite, along with Pink Floyd. BUT, when you get into true progressive rock, most of the members were classically trained and the skills of these guys is stellar. I’ve never seen them play live before and this was an eye-opener for me. All I can say is WOW.
Always impressed by Roger's ability to play those sixteenth-note chords on electric piano so fast for so long. I've been playing keyboards for more than 50 years and that sh*t is HARD. Even noticeably accelerates just around the start of the lyrics. Rick's piano solo is just fantastic. Btw, don't sweat 'unique' - it does literally mean 'there is no other'
People don’t realize how difficult it is to do something repetitively perfectly and for a long time. I’m reminded of Leland Sklar’s bass part in Billy Cobham’s Spectrum. Same deal .
The studio version is a masterpiece and very underrated in my opinion The lead vocalist which is on the electric piano plays also guitar in other tracks (it’s Roger Hodgson), the piano player (and lead singer on many tracks) is Rick Davies and can play harmonica, the saxophone player can play keyboards and he’s John Helliwell, the bassist is Dougie Thompson and the drummer is Bob Siebenberg Amazing band
In addition, John also plays the clarinet on many songs including "School" and "Breakfast In America". As for Roger who is singing on this song, he is playing a Wurlitzer electric piano which he also plays on "Breakfast In America" and "Dreamer". He also plays a 12 string guitar on "Give A Little Bit" and lead guitar on "Rudy", "School", "Crime Of The Century" and "Bloody Well Right" in reference to the songs you have reacted to so far.
@@donnakubiski5572 don't forget the outro solo on Goodbye Stranger and him using the wah wah pedal affect. Just Another Nervous Wreck has a great guitar part as well.
As a "Metal Head", SUPERTRAMP are my guilty pleasure. Steely Dan also falls into that category. Their sound is so hypnotic, calming, groovy at same time. 🤫🫢🤘😎🇺🇸
Another stellar Supertramp reaction gentlemen! I hope you finish the Crime of the Century album and then move to Crisis What Crisis album. Thanks for hopping on the Supertramp train.
Super stoked you did Child of Vision, thank you. I’d echo the comments of others - the studio version is an absolutely must. A perfect ending to the brilliant Breakfast In America album itself, but also a stand alone song in its own right. The piano solo alone is class-A, D for dope.
My absolute favorite ST song. It has everything -- the driving Wurlitzer, the dialogue between Rick and Roger, a killer piano solo, saxophone, Roger's thoughtful lyrics, great beats, great change-ups ... mad powerful.
Honestly guys, this band is amazing. I had the privilege of seeing them twice and they can’t be beat. That live version you just listened to was very poorly recorded. When I saw them, both times, in two different places, the sound was fantastic. It was like sitting down in front of a 5000 watt analog stereo system and you could near every note. The first time I saw them for Crime of the Century……the soundboard was mixed by the guy who mixed the studio album. PLUS…..the light show was amazing. It was breathtaking. At the end of the night you realized you had just seen something extremely special.
@@randyharbaugh7819 …….agree 100%. The first time I saw them, it was their first performance in Canada and besides the light show, the projectors and the amazing sound, they had a whole acting troop who dressed in costumes and acted out characters from their songs. It was incredible.
Child of vision the studio album version is by far the best song Supertramp ever did. I bought Breakfast in America in 1979 and directly knew that child of vision was my favourite and still is !
Never saw Supertramp in concert, however I did go to a Roger Hodgeson concert at a casino here near Seattle. Played many Supertramp hits and still sounded great. Hope he tours again.
Sat up all night with these guys during the recordings of Breakfast in America, throwing crash and ride cymbals around the room. Roger was convinced there was a way to get another sound out of those "silly metal things"
I saw a lot of bands in my teens and twenties, I saw Supertramp live in London in 1987 and without a doubt they had the best live sound of any band I saw. So tight as a group of musicians. And love the reactions BTW
You guys just love the Tramp.................another great reaction. It shows how studio tracking has to be solved for 'live' shows- and how they are such versatile talented guys. Time for Babaji or the beast that is Fool's Overture!
“I’m tripping!” Love your reaction to this great band and awesome song. They are top tier musicians. I now regret not seeing them live when I was much younger when they were in their prime. My guess is that they still sound incredible.
When you started this journey, had you ever even heard of Supertramp? Let alone realize you would fall in love with them? Talent (and music lessons) go a long way in life
Loved your reaction to School as that’s an amazing song. Child’s vision is how you end an album… what a song! Hope you check out “even in the quietest moments” and live “Fool’s overture”.
In the studio version of this song Rick Davies mastery in his grand piano piece is literally unparalleled to the point that even Rick himself has never repeated it. You can listen to the piece over and over and like a heavenly sound you never get tired of it. Too bad that he suffers severe health issues preventing him from performing.
I love watching your reactions guys. This is one of my favorites. I got to see Supertramp in Seattle 1979. It was the best thing I've ever seen or heard. There's nothing like having two piano/keyboard parts being played together. Roger plays that keyboard superbly and Rick is a piano God. And yes Roger plays piano/keyboards & guitar and John plays multiple, wind (Clarinet, Tenor & Alto sax etc.) instruments and keyboard. They are amazing.
Please do some of the studio versions of the songs you already listened to again. But then from this Paris live show. You will even love them more.....:)
I've seen "The Tramp" Live 4 times. There is always 5 Keyboard locations. Rick plays Grand piano/keys, Roger plays Guitar/keys, John plays Sax/Keys-String keys, Dougie on Bass Guitar and Bob is spectacular on Drums.
Unique means one of a kind.If you guys like Supertramp then you’ll love Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes from New Jersey. They have a whole horn section to go along with a keyboard player, lead guitar player, and bass to accompany Johnny who taught The ‘BOSS’ how to take control of the stage..Little Steven Van Zandt was the lead guitar player who played in Springsteen’s band.Songs to react to by that band is Love on the Wrong Side of Town, Talk to Me, and We’re Having a Party!
Thank you for this one guys. Supertramp is an elite band on stage. I've seen them three times on stage and have multiple concert DVDs including this one, Live in Paris. Roger Hodgson is lead vocalist on this song. Roger and Rick take turns with lead vocals. There is another live performance of the song, Another Man's Woman, on Live in Paris. There is an awesome piano solo in this one by Rick. The build up makes it so. Rick Davies is lead vocalist too. That's the guy that started out on an organ, switched to tambourine and finished with piano. Roger plays guitar on this one. John Helliwell is the MC and is the guy that runs around playing different instruments. He plays the wind instruments. Dougie Thompson plays bass although I've seen him play organ like the beginning of School. Bob Siebenburg plays drums. He often holds his drumsticks by the ends that are supposed to hit the drums. There is one song on Crime of the century that I hope you guys will give a chance. Rick is full of emotion and desperation on the song, Asylum.
Hey fellas, so the album that followed the album "Breakfast In America" in Supertramp's discography is the album "Famous Last Words" which was released in 1982. This album also achieved significate success, reaching number 1 in several countries. This album also received multiple certifications including a Gold and Platinum. Here's a live performance of their first song off the album called "Crazy." This is their farewell concert in Munich, Germany, the whole concert was amazing. *"Supertramp - Crazy (Live in Munich 0 1983)"* Thanks 4 sharing, fellas.
Imagine trying to get a band like this together to jam in the early days. Four keyboardists loading up all those the keys and amps onto the city bus, all on their way to their drummer's parent's basement. I thought loading a guitar and amp into the back of a car was a hassle. Edit: Lol plus all their guitars, saxophones, tubas, and harps. That's commitment.
Supertramp was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. 💯An overabundance of musical talent! You guys need to check out more Dave Matthews Band's live stuff. They always own the stage too as a band, like ST does, so if you wanna see a BAND get on stage and just cook, live videos of Dave Matthews Band (there are a lot!) should be on the reactions list for sho'!....Two Step, Crush, Drive In Drive Out, Cornbread, and a lot more...those are monsters when performed live.
“Saw” them in 1979 at McMahon Stadium in Calgary in 1979 when I was 19. We actually sat outside on a grassy knoll at one of the end zones and heard the concert for free as it was sold out. There was a beer strike at the time so we had a $4 gallon of Donini wine! The good stuff! 😂 Good times! Great show. Chris De Burgh (Lady in Red guy) opened for them.
I was a little disappointed that you guys went with the live version of this , because the studio version has a million more sounds and a million more instruments it's a masterpiece ! You will be blown away even more so !
For sure the studio version has a wicked piano solo. It goes on and on, but never gets tiring. I could listen to this song on repeat for hours. I know because I have.
The comment I was going to write. But, going down the line, it's the first one I find. So I see I'm not the only one who thinks this. Yes, for me, the live version is too fast, and the chorus is unexpectedly a little sloppy due to the speed of execution.
If y’all like this live version, you should watch the live with the lead singer in 2014 with his new band! Live in Sao paulo go to roger Hodgkin that’s the lead singer! It’s amazing I watched it continuously for hrs! I love it!!!
Just watch the whole concert. Youll never be the same!!
Supertramp are one of a kind

What you have here is a stage full of master musicians.
So glad to see you guys enjoying Supertramp! I've always been a huge fan and felt that they were not appreciated for their talents!
Unbelievable musicians! That was awesome!
Always impressed by Roger's ability to play those sixteenth-note chords on electric piano so fast for so long. I've been playing keyboards for more than 50 years and that sh*t is HARD. Even noticeably accelerates just around the start of the lyrics. Rick's piano solo is just fantastic.

And both Davies and Hodgson play guitar. They sound different on every track.

Go to roger Hodgson live in São Paulo 2014! It’s amazing! The best version in my opinion!!
I don't agree. I don't disagree either. SUPERTRAMP!
As a "Metal Head", SUPERTRAMP are my guilty pleasure.
Steely Dan also falls into that category.
Their sound is so hypnotic, calming, groovy at same time. 🤫🫢🤘😎🇺🇸
Might want to give Perpetual Change by Yes a listen.
However, SD used a collection of fabulous studio musicians....not in the "band".
"As a "Metal Head", SUPERTRAMP are my guilty pleasure." Love it, man.
Rick's piano solo blows my mind every time
Actually I was going to say that I have seen them in concert twice and they sound just like the recordings. They are truly amazing live.
I think it is understated how solid the BASS line is on this, while nothing special, it's just fast and solid.
This is such a great song. Awesome 😎
Another stellar Supertramp reaction gentlemen! I hope you finish the Crime of the Century album and then move to Crisis What Crisis album. Thanks for hopping on the Supertramp train.
This was great! Thank you. NOW I'm about to watch them live in London 1977 Much love
The studio version of this song has been my favorite Supertramp song since the album was released.
Hi la and Che... when I saw supertramp in 1978 at the forum in Los Angeles... they moved around playing different instruments all show... amazing show
Masterpiece! And what a way to close an album...
…Works for me.
Super stoked you did Child of Vision, thank you. I’d echo the comments of others - the studio version is an absolutely must. A perfect ending to the brilliant Breakfast In America album itself, but also a stand alone song in its own right. The piano solo alone is class-A, D for dope.
Roger Hodgson playing Keyboards and the lead singer on this song is also their lead guitarist! You guys should do this whole show, it’s fantastic!
Thanks for hitting this one. It's my FAVORITE Supertramp song, although I'm partial to the studio version. Nice reaction.
What a unique band
My absolute favorite ST song. It has everything -- the driving Wurlitzer, the dialogue between Rick and Roger, a killer piano solo, saxophone, Roger's thoughtful lyrics, great beats, great change-ups ... mad powerful.

The moving train projected behind the band during Rudy is timeless

Cant put a Stamp, on the Tramp,!!... Supertramp is phenomenal!
Crime of the century album is amazing
It is so apparent that these guys are no posers. They love music and love to play. It isn't about being rich and famous for these guys
Great stuff, guys. Supertramp was it. Their moment in the sun was HOT.
Fantastic music
Helliwell is the unsung hero of a lot of their songs - he does brass, woodwinds, guitar, keyboards and whatever else needs to be added!
You forgot his falsetto background vocals, too!
He did sax, clarinet and keys but i don't think he plays guitar.
@@pierceely1197 - certainly not a lead guitar, but I think I’ve seen him pick it up for some fill. I could be wrong!
You missed the whistle and the tambourine when he's got nothing better to do .😂 I loved him 😊 nobody hits the sax like him..👍
I saw SURPERTRAMP IN REALMARIRD 🕊💚💯 early 90s, Love from the ARCHAIX FAMILY 💚 2106CAPSTONE 💚 SARAH369 💚
Supertramp made great sounds.❤
I'll be all right without
Journey j o u r in a while
Supertramp were good 😊
One of the lead singers (the one playing keys front n center) is Roger Hodgson. He is the guitarist and yes keyboards sometimes too. He is so great!
Mike Helliwell Keyboards, Saxophones, Clarinet, Melodica, Tambourine, Bell Chimes and Vocals... like the rest of the band pure talent.
Never saw Supertramp in concert, however I did go to a Roger Hodgeson concert at a casino here near Seattle. Played many Supertramp hits and still sounded great. Hope he tours again.
Sat up all night with these guys during the recordings of Breakfast in America, throwing crash and ride cymbals around the room. Roger was convinced there was a way to get another sound out of those "silly metal things"
The studio version is so so so better, you should try it.
Yass! Thank you, @AirplayBeats !
1 of a kind band
This is Pink Floyd light....unreal musicality and composition...brilliant band...their catalog says it all....
Supertramp was HUGE in Canada. Great live, great in studio.
I saw a lot of bands in my teens and twenties, I saw Supertramp live in London in 1987 and without a doubt they had the best live sound of any band I saw. So tight as a group of musicians. And love the reactions BTW
That was great guys!
Thanks ... this video was great..
Listening to supertramp is always a spiritual experience ✨💜
This is gonna BE EPIC !

Davies/Hodgson/Helliwell were all multi-instrumentalists, which is why Supertramp's sound was quite versatile, indeed.
oOoOOWeee 😮 y'all just jumped right to it😅
One of the best produced songs of ST is GOODBYE STRANGER………
I've seen Roger Hodgson about 12 times always puts on a stellar show!!!!!
Another band for you to take a serious dive into. You will not be disappointed I promise. So much great music to be heard!
Wicked good !
Live is always best.
Can’t relate how much I appreciate these vids
Please do some of the studio versions of the songs you already listened to again.
But then from this Paris live show.
You will even love them more.....:)
This album came out in 1979 it is the last great album of the 1970s your next song by this band is any song from this album❤

I saw this band in 79 in Calgary ,Alberta doing this concert. It was awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍
Supertramp are totally unique as a complete band. Producer, engineer and them. No special guests/ singers as others used!
4:35 reminds me of Alice Coopers Schools out prechorus

Nice done.
Could you guys Even Imagine What this music brings us in the Summer of 79 ?
What a band, indeed.
This live version is great but sounds a little muddy... You must check out the studio version. Thanks Bros. 😎
I saw them Live in 1978 in Philly.

Awww man this is one of my favorite Supertramp songs ! I wish you guys had done the original studio version first.
Saw Roger a couple years back with his band and an orchestra got to hear Fools Overture as it was meant to be played outstanding show
My band ❤ I love Supertramp, dancing to Child Of Vision was a bstrd though, 🙄 we looked like we where in the throes of an epileptic fit. 😳🤣
My Favorite song on the Album❤🎉🎉🎉 Thanks guys 😊xx
Studio version = one of the best piano jams ever
Not much of a Supertramp fan. Have to admit I enjoy this. Great reaction fellas. Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
Love this song !!
The studio on this one is a bit better, but it's good to know how the sausage is made. Supertramp is really a great band. Glad u guys appreciate them.
Mr. "MC" John Helliwell..Sax, Keyboard,Cowbell,back up vocals and then some.Can do it all on stage.. Fabulous !!!
I saw them live in Zurich, Switzerland in 1987. Phenomenal, I think I counted like 10 musicians that day.
Sooo Good. What a band
Love ST. I've never seen this live - thanks for the great reaction!

You guys still haven't done "The Logical Song," which is their biggest hit.
It may be their biggest hit - and all reactors do it - but the deep album cuts are superior imo.
Oh been waiting for this one. This is one of my favourite tracks, love it played loud on a top hi-fi
5 of them. Drummer. Bass. John who plays the saxes also plays Keys. Roger who was singing also plays the guitar.
Saw the Supertramp 4 times great shows.
Just a brilliantly talented band. Although an English Band I believe they where originally supported by an American Millionaire back around 1969.
Saw them in 1979 at The Forum. What a show.
If y’all like this live version, you should watch the live with the lead singer in 2014 with his new band! Live in Sao paulo go to roger Hodgkin that’s the lead singer! It’s amazing I watched it continuously for hrs! I love it!!!
Hey guys, this one of my requests, great job.
Next in the queue is…….
Chicago - Beginnings
Have a look at live in Paris 79 excellent concert
