It's just a damn good album. I love every track. "Just Another Nervous Wreck" is my favorite, but dammit, every song on it deserves a listen or twenty. They hit the nail on the head and put the hammer straight through the wood.
I'm a grumpy old man, it is near impossible to get me to to smile or laugh. ...But no matter what kind of day I've had...This guy has me in a better mood and smiling or even laughing. With all the negativity in the world right now, thanks Jamel for doin watch you do.
I'm not old but I can be grumpy at times especially with the negativity in our society we have in the world nowadays I don't smile or laugh most of time like I used to be but listening to music always give me a smile onto my face sometimes :)
This. Just realizing that there's a real, open, ready to try great music young man out there truly helps me. and great sense of humor and i know the music is always top notch
Live your life that runs out so fast. Please live! Enjoy every moment in armony with yourself and who you love. Perhaps love is the only way in which life will seem not too fast. I wish all the best.
As well produced as it is, it's not their best album though. Crime and Quietest Moments are their best.....BIA is good but not a patch on the two aforementioned albums. I would add that the Brother Where You Bound album is actually, IMO, their best produced album. Superb SQ!
Always think of my brother when I hear Supertramp. He used to play this song and emphasize "Goodbye Mary" when he wanted to get me out of his room. Fooled him because I used to sit outside his door and enjoy this song, and the others. 😁
Some they will and some they won’t... and some it’s just as well. That line always cracked me up! 😂 Again, Supertramp is one of, if not the most, underrated bands of the 70’s
jeannie jane I agree. I was 16 when this came out and my girlfriend and I listened to this album endlessly, plus all the other great music of the time.
"Some they do and some they don't, And some you just can't tell. Some they will and some they won't, And some it's just as well." - best lyric ever!!!!
Your face when he hits the high note is like a kid opening a present on Christmas and being happily surprised. And then the way you just start groovin' to it... I LOVE watching your reactions. Pure joy!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
Dude, Supertramp is very easily one of my favorite bands, and I'm only 31 years old. My dad had _Breakfast in America_ and I used to listen to the entire album on repeat. Not a single track on that album can be skipped; every damn song is great.
33 here, so we're about the same age. I remember digging through my dad's records and having no idea what I was looking at or for. Probably just picked the album cover and tossed it on the record player. Breakfast in America was one I also had on repeat. This one and anything by CSNY (or CSN, or CN, or S or Y alone or, etc, you know).
Just heard it this afternoon on Sirius XM - great groove - agree Also - need to check out Fire - Crazy World of Arthur Brown ( 1968 ). Was shocking at the time and it’s a super cool one hit wonder. Was #1 in the U.K. and Canada , reached #2 in America ( Hey Jude held #1 ).
Didn't realize what the song was about when I first heard it when I was 13, was too taken in by the outro! Recorded it on cassette tape and kept rewinding and listening to the outro over and over.
Two more Supertramp songs with long guitar solo/outros: " Lover Boy, and " Waiting So Long. All written by Rick Davies, who, ironically, DOESN'T play guitar
breakfast in America won the 1980 grammy for best recording package. so they loved the look of the album art too. this is one of my favorite albums start to finish, it's a winner.
RacingGuy61 and I know people who met them and are successful and fulfilled and all that. What’s your point? Also I feel that we have a very different definition of what a loser is, but whatever
I spent 5 weeks touring Germany with a high school group in 1979, with this tape on repeat in our bus. Became the soundtrack of our trip and to this day I’m immediately transported back whenever I hear it.
@@aerynsunx I spoke to my sister about it right after I read this comment, haha. She says she's read something about it being a coincidence, but eh... They were doing other stuff back then!
This reminds me of a road trip from Chicago to L.A. three of us, women, in our early 20’s in 1979 and we played this album the whole way. Never got tired of it!
Their best album for sure. I was in basic training in the Army whenever was big. Every song was a hit. I grew up in the 70’s and I thank the creator for dropping me off there for this education I now have.
I had Breakfast in America on 8-Track back in the early 80's when I was in my twenties. I'm now 61 and still remember the lyrics to all the songs on that album. You never forget the important things do you. 🎸
Loved this song since I was a child of the 70s. In the 70s Mary Jane was a slang term for Dope. Maybe it still is...don't know. I've always wondered if goodbye Mary goodbye Jane was saying goodbye to Marijuana. Has anyone else ever thought this.
Some of other songs with catchy tunes Sanford Townsend band - Smoke From a Distant Fire Looking Glass - Brandy You're a Fine Girl Steven Stills - Love the One You're With
Btw, Rick Davies is the main keyboard player and WOW CAN HE WHALE!!! His solo (REALLY LONG SOLO) on CHILD OF VISION is some of the best piano I’ve heard in Rock n Roll! Sax at the end by Helliwell is haunting as well, great message in that song!
"Some they do & some they don't & some you just can't tell... Some they will & some they won't... *and some, it's just as well...* It cracked me up back then & still does
Love the whole song but that end part is a total eargasm. Interesting sidenotes, the cover of the album is from the view out of an airplane window. If you hold the album cover up to a mirror you'll see the U And P above the Twin Towers looks just like 911, a bizarre coincidence.
Supertramp was always a group I listened to, but never paid much attention. Thanks to you, I listened with the lyrics in front of me & appreciate them so much more all these years later. Great band! Thanks!
‘So many great sounds…’ Supertramp were masters of fills, counter melody, & musical under currents. Just a musical feast of sound & stellar song structure.
Brings back memories... riding on a school bus, coming back from some field trip somewhere. LIstening to this on my Walkman... headphones on, staring out the windows as the Chicago skyline whisked by....
Jamal, PLEASE go back to ELO just for one more, "Can't Get t Out of My Head." It's a ballad, you'll love it. And again, please please do the Las Vegas video of the Flaming Lips "Do You Realize?" It's fantastic!
I meant to add that the waitress woman holding the orange juice on the cover of "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp, Kate Murtagh, is still alive at age 95 (pictured as "Libby").
timmmahhhh What withdrawal? I quit smoking one day cold turkey after smoking practically daily for like 10 years. No problems whatsoever. Everything I felt was positive. Then again, I was having sex a few times a day during that time so that eased it.
Listening to supertramp is one thing there great but to see them in concert is totally another experience. One of the best concerts ive ever been to. I was a teenager in the mid 70s ive been and seen many many great bands. There amongst the best in concert ive ever seen.
There are two song writing geniuses in that band and each has his own distinct sound. It's what made Supertramp so great. When they separated and Roger released. In the eye of the storm and Rick went on to release Brother where you bound with Supertramp the two different sounds where very noticeable but both brilliant.
After 40-something years it just occurred to me that the waitress holding up the tray with orange juice and the menu resembles the Statue of Liberty! Breakfast in America?
@@ashyclaret Please stop spreading this stupid conspiracy theory. "They" did *not* plant hints of the 9/11 attacks in the cover art of an album from 1979. Where the hell do people get these crazy ideas?
I was listening to Mr. Jamel through COVID, was a light in the darkness. I bought this album when I was maybe 12. 40 years ago. Since then I took up music as my hobby. Seeing it again through his eyes has brought a new appreciation.
This is a special song for me, the memory of a long lost friend. Love the line, "sweet devotion is not for me, just give me motion, set me free". I like that when you pause, you go back a little. Thanks for that! Watching your videos is a not so guilty pleasure
I love the hits from supertramp I remember when I was a kid in Mexico n had no idea of what they sayin at that time now I live in texas n I kind of understand everything
The outro to this song is criminally underrated.
No doubt! Once that funky wah-wah solo kicks in, I almost wanna cry.
The man/band himself is/are criminally underrated
Fading that guitar solo out just when he really ratchets it up and gives it hell is an unforgivable musical sin!
@@droog28 Cry on!
Same could be said for Gone Hollywood...opening track on this album
The sax is my fave with SuperTramp. It's amazing!
Breakfast in America is one of those rare albums where seemingly every song is a hit.

"Breakfast In America" was one of the most well-produced albums of all time. Such good balance, mixing...the whole package.
Absolutely, I mentioned that on another site,and remembering how xxxcelent it used to sound on my car stereo in high school!
It's a very good album by their very high standards, but I must differ. Crime of the Century had more depth.
Yep.Exceptional mixing and mastering...GREAT DYNAMICS and Range in the recording. Still stands the test of time...no problem.
All of Supertramp’s albums were well produced and balanced but I have to agree, this was a production for the ages no doubt!
As well produced as it is, it's not their best album though. Crime and Quietest Moments are their best.....BIA is good but not a patch on the two aforementioned albums. I would add that the Brother Where You Bound album is actually, IMO, their best produced album. Superb SQ!
This song aged very well. It's gotten better as the years have gone by.
There needs to be a serious documentary about Supertramp.
The best I found, it is like a 20 min interview and then a concert
ruclips.net/video/3nRDbi7D2rk/видео.html
They're a great band with a unique sound
Best gig I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot.. I still get chills thinking about it
@@TellaSignTV Never saw them but wished I did. Bet they were amazing
I'd like to open a discussion as to why Supertramp, Foreigner, Styx and Bad Company are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Great jam 👍 ✌🏼🎶🍺🕶️😐🌻🍺🥫🇺🇸🌫️😝🎶good by Mary good bye Jane Hope your dreams all come true ✌🏼
Check out "Bloody Well RIght" by Supertramp. It's their most "TASTY" song.
especially the live in paris version, it's a KILLER
He should also check out Fools Overture
Have you been listening to Alex and Andy
Even us country boy stoners were digging it.
RAY, you are Bloody well Right! Lol
The ending of this song is epic.
I feel so lucky to have grown up during the times of the best music ever created.
Agree, Are generation had the best music ever....Baby Boomer?
So, so true! I’m with you 1000%!!😊😊😉
I’m 62, 63 at end of year!

The ending is absolutely killer. Great vibes. Another great band of the 70’s era.
Always think of my brother when I hear Supertramp. He used to play this song and emphasize "Goodbye Mary" when he wanted to get me out of his room. Fooled him because I used to sit outside his door and enjoy this song, and the others. 😁
Roger Hudson eletric guittar..amazing!
Some they will and some they won’t... and some it’s just as well. That line always cracked me up! 😂 Again, Supertramp is one of, if not the most, underrated bands of the 70’s
Maureen B Nah they were massive
Kristina Winter To the most musically savvy of us, yes
One of the best lines ever written 🤣🤣 And yeah, Supertramp was huge here in Canada!
This song goes in crescendo. The more it advances,the more it becomes intense. What a pleasure to listen to.
I feel lucky to have grown up with such great music...kinda feel sorry for those who didn’t.
jeannie jane I agree. I was 16 when this came out and my girlfriend and I listened to this album endlessly, plus all the other great music of the time.
Fortunately, with RUclips, that great music can be shared.
i always say the same thing But now we are fucked..real talk
"Some they do and some they don't,
And some you just can't tell.
Some they will and some they won't,
And some it's just as well." - best lyric ever!!!!
Kate Murtagh..."Libby the Waitress" on the cover. Recently passed away. RIP
"Libby" also had a small role in a 70s B movie called The Car". The things I learn by watching Svengoolie.
"What a helluva outro!" outstanding guitar solo from Roger Hodgson. I love it.
I remember getting into Supertramp in 1977, while at school!
I'm still listening, 43 years on!! 😀
"What a hell of an outro"... You said it, man! One of the all-time great outros!
When I think of best outros, this and Journey's "Be Good to Yourself" are the first two that always pop in my head. Just pure perfection!
I love the end instrumental.
@@DivaInTheWoods Same band, but I'd go with Stone in Love's outtro, just hits you right in the soul.
You gotta do Supertramp's "Bloody Well Right", PLEASE! You're gonna love it.
Quite right!!!
Yes!
Definitely
Laaaaammmmeeeeeee
Man, this album was HUGE.... Junior year of high school. The only thing I miss about the 70s was the music.
My Junior year of high school too; agree with your sentiments.
Same here my Junior year in school.
Always thought this was band was underrated. Lot of good songs on this album.
The 1900's was an ancient and irreplaceable time that can't be replaced
21st century has nothing on it in comparison
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
I like that. 💜👍
Ah, Supertramp, j'adore. Ça me rappelle ma jeunesse. Je les ai vus en concert. C'était génial.

If you haven't done it yet check out Spirit in the Sky - by Norman Greenbaum
One of the best riffs ever made, and also the ultimate one hit wonder.
I 2nd this one...my mom always liked that song and wanted it played at her funeral. It was a sweet moment as we laid that needle down and it jammed.
But do you remember the cover by Doctor and the Medics? lol
Just heard it this afternoon on Sirius XM - great groove - agree
Also - need to check out Fire - Crazy World of Arthur Brown ( 1968 ). Was shocking at the time and it’s a super cool one hit wonder. Was #1 in the U.K. and Canada , reached #2 in America ( Hey Jude held #1 ).
Kentucky Headhunters covered Spirit In The Sky . Worth a watch .
A nice Jewish boy in love with Jesus... :P

Oh yeah! Best part!
Classic riff from a classic band
Two more Supertramp songs with long guitar solo/outros: " Lover Boy, and " Waiting So Long. All written by Rick Davies, who, ironically, DOESN'T play guitar
"Give A Little Bit" is definitely worth checking out, just saying

Eben Guyette one of my favorite tunes by Supertramp!
@Arzola not sure. Everyone i know, knows Supertramp. But I was about 16 when Supertramp were at their peak.
Especially done Acoustically. Outstanding song.
Also The Logical Song.

Always appreciate Jamel and his positive, upbeat outlook!!!!!
One of the greatest guitar outros ever put to record
This song is what made the name "Super Tramp" make sense
There is no mood that I can experience that can't be improved somehow by hearing the guitar solo at the end of this song.
Jamal, you listening to Goodbye Stranger with a Let It Be shirt on.... Makes everything ok in the world!!! Thank you man
Goodbye Mary
Goodbye Jane
Will we ever meet again?
We all hope the answer to that is yes

That’s deep. Multiple meanings to the phrase “hit it and quit it” in this song.
It's my understanding that this song was about the band's choice to quit using marijuana.
Good bye Mary Good bye Jane could be , good bye to Mary mother of Jesus (Jane). He does say “ because say the devil is my savior...4:29
Dynamic tune. So many layers of sound. Love the harmonizing. Terrific production.
Supertramp is one of the greatest musical acts of all time. Congrats finding them, that must be intense.
My all time favorite Supertramp song, hands down! Got this LP for my 16th birthday and literally wore it out! Soooooo good!
Hope you react to Dreamer before your trip through Supertramp is over.
Absolutely love SuperTramp. Such fond memories of growing up dancing with my Dad in the living room while their music played.
The amount of changes within this song only shows the musical geniuses they are
As far as I can remember, this has ALWAYS been my all time FAVORITE SONG!!!!!
Actually Supertramp is one of the rare groups that have many albums where every song could be a hit.

Oooo BRANDY ..... A MOST EXCELLENT STORY TELLING SONG.
Your positivity and joy are infectious. Thanks.
A song about quitting smoking pot. Racy for the time.
Probably a sign of angst when they did "Bloody Well Right".
Goodbye Mary, Goodbye Jane.
Gives it away if you are adept to it.
Times are changing on that front
Do you know the history how they formed. A millionaire Dutch man paid to have the band formed.
Right. Not too many people know that it's about that.
