This album is a masterpiece. Everything on it is reaction worthy.
If you haven’t done the title track from Crime of the Century, or School, you should. Both songs kick ass! ☮️❤️😎
Recently played it all through... I agree.
World class musicians.
What does that mean?
@@herrbonk3635 I think it means they're really good.
@@ron88303 Yes, of course :) But what does it really mean?
Supertramp is a treasure, and IMO that album is their peak, worth a complete listen. Two particularly great cuts: Goodbye Stranger (my fave, and rather progressive, with at least three excellent melodies/sections), and Take The Long Way Home.
Thanks for another great song and reaction, and for having me along.
Thank you my friend!!
Supertramp restored my faith in music in a time when the industry seemed to be selling out.
It's the music industry.
Selling out is what they do.
lol really? This is your pick of the litter from '79? Yeezus.
@@johnlittle3430 So what did you prefer?
In what way were they selling out in the late 1970s, compared to other periods?
@@herrbonk3635 Well, punk was revitalizing music when this warmed-over prog-cum-pop stuff came out. 1979 also gave us Armed Forces by Elvis Costello, London Calling by The Clash, 154 by Wire, Door Door by The Boys Next Door, Entertainment by Gang of Four, Fear of Music by Talking Heads, Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division, etc. Even established classic rock and mainstream pop acts were releasing far more interesting and important work than Supertramp in '79. Neil Young delivered a monster with Rust Never Sleeps, Prince broke through with his self-titled sophomore album, Bowie's Lodger came out, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall made him a solo superstar, etc. It was a massive year for music, and not because of anything to do with a tacky band like Supertramp.
Saw Supertramp 4 times. They were brilliant live.
Went to highschool with John Helliwell's, sax and woodwinds, cousin she looked like his twin and she played French Horn.
How can you not love a tune with a prominent TUBA and schmaltzy clarinet? So fun and well done.
That kind of vintage ( 20', 30's decades ) sound produced by that tuba and clarinet specially at end of the song makes feel very nostalgic, I don't if you have the same feeling.
@@gustavoperez5480 Yes, but I think the 'circus' comment hits pretty close and it also brings a hint of nostalgia. Nice call.
@@rk41gator thanks.
School is a must
The whole album CRIME of THE CENTURY is superb
Great choice! The whole album is awesome!
Yay! Let's hear it for the tuba hittin' hard!
Love Supertramp. Couple of my favs are Take The Long Way Home and Bloody Well Right
I’ve been waiting to see you gentlemen listen to this SuperTramp album!! Goodbye Stranger will blow you away!!
Good ear, trombone and tuba along with a clarinet
I agree with all the favorable comments! Supertramp has such a unique sound setting them apart. Their songs dominated the radio for years with their catchy lyrics and melodies. A request is "Long Way Home" and "Logical Song" which is my favorite. Love your reactions, and the cross-section of music you play for us! THANK YOU!
Pop progressive rock geniuses
Hey Roger Hodson , I bet you can't write a huge hit song with a clarinet and a tuba accompaniment
Roger Hodson - hold my beer for a minute
There is an old world sounding vibe which is traditional to many cultures. Sounds like Jewish folk music to me
Klezmer! 🔥
I grew up playing music starting in 1965 at 5 yrs old until I was 18 after high school. Supertramp became big in Canada about 4 years before they broke out in the States. In 1975 my group of friends, four 16 and 17 year olds drove 3 1/2 hours through the Rocky Mountains to a mountain valley, and camped by the lake for a Victoria day (late May), long weekend and I listened to 4 Supertramp Albums on cassette almost the whole time. We were also listening to Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin, the Doobie Brothers, the Allman Brothers, Chicago, the Police. Most of these groups are from the UK. Canada always had a direct pipeline to British Music because of British Commonwealth trade agreements. Even the Beatles broke out in Canada before the States.
It was a very exciting time to be alive, and we were lucky to survive.
The instrument that has a Tuba sound I think is called a Euphonium. It's like a little Cousin to the Tuba in the Brass family of Instruments. ✌🎶 🕊
Supertramp has a lot of Epic songs to explore.🤟🇨🇦
They break in with the Sax at 2:00, and the whole song flips
Great pick! Yes, yes....its a pop rock tuba. 🤯
One of my favorite groups! Never gets old.
Great job, guys, as always. THE slamming cut on this album is the opener, Gone Hollywood. Spine-tingling melody, incredible instrumentation and production, and the secret sauce is the dark lyrics about their experience in the music business in LA. This is a Must! ❤️🔥
More Supertramp please! Check out Logical Song, Goodbye Stranger. These guys are extraordinarily inventive.
This album came out at the tail end of my 8th grade year. To call it HUGE would be an understatement.
you need to the album crime of the century.I'm 64 now but back then as a teenager this album changed everything
Love this quirky little song love you guys
The other instrument playing the higher lead parts was a clarinet. It is a reed instrument, similar to a sax, but made of wood instead of brass. Enjoying you reactions.🇨🇦😎
Whole album is great.
👍❤🤙
Supertramp has a ton of amazing songs.
That horn is a trombone... seen it live a long time ago. 😎
Very good album. Remember it fondly as a kid going on holiday.
Goodbye stranger is my favourite off this album. Worth checking out.
I read somwhere that the songwriter had a Slavic background. Which you can hear is the use of horns and an almost accordion sound to the piano, as well as some of the vocalizations. Me? I just call it great music!
More great Supertramp to come...!
Do "Child Of Vision" off the same album... nice long piano part at the end... amazing!
3:21 that's the Baritone Sax you're hearing, guys..on the chrous he switched to the clarinet Helliwell could play every type of Sax, he was invaluable to the Supertramp sound) And you're right--the chord progression's been used in many a traditional Italian song.
They use a tuba, a trombone or a baritone and a clarinet in this!
This was their huge breakthrough album!
I always thought it was a Sousaphone.
@@Soulspinner001
Perhaps, but a Sousaphone is just a marching tuba, anyway.
You guys will love School, Rudy and Goodbye Stranger from Supertramp. Saw them play live 4x. Epic live act.
I don't know if anyone's said this yet, but you might recognize the hook from Cupid's Chokehold by Gym Class Heroes when they reimagined it back in the mid 2000's.
You gotta run through this track by track. It's worth it.
I love your choice of songs, especially
Recently!! Great content, keep it up
Guys (Happy 4th 🇺🇸) 💥❤️
Happy 4th to you as well!!
Comes from old Eastern European/Russian/gypsy music from the 1700's onward. Lots of wind-woods, violins, bells, chimes, tambourines, mandolins and hand-clapping.
Even ABBA used a lot of those roots in some of their songs, and certainly the Beatles and many harder rock bands.
This CD is in my monthly rotation ❤
Such an extraordinary album. Will never get old.
Reminds me of old time jazz at times and Prog Rock at other times. Good band back in the day.
This was a perfect to play while cleaning the house. It is funny how certain bands make you reflect on moments or experiences in time, like music you listen to on a Friday evening sitting in your backyard with a cold beer after a long week, or out on a long Sunday drive alone the coast.
Rock, waltz, kletzmer! What a mix to add to rock and roll! I love this work.
J'avais oublié comment cette chanson est bonne avec cette variété instrument!
'Rudy' from Crime of the Century.
They had a full on orchestra going on there. Tuba, trombone, clarinet, saxophone and trumpet.
Another record from my collection back in the day.
Look at the letters "U" and "P" on the album in a mirror.
My stepdad had this album back in like 82 or whatever . I would play it on
his hi fi system. I was already indoctrinated into metal and hard rock about that time but I really enjoyed that album.
I think Styx , Cornerstone album and Deep purple , Machine Head were two others I really enjoyed from my
stepfathers collection. Great memories
@@PodCaspar yep your just a couple years older than me.
On the topic of strange ways to use horns, check out the band Morphine - a lot of what would normally be guitar is replaced by a guy who plays two saxophones simultaneously (wired together). "Mary Won't You Call My Name?" has a groove so strong it'll knock you back in your seat.
----
This one always sounds like Mardi Gras in LA to me.
My high school teacher put me on to this song
Fantabulous album
This album is a masterpiece, front to back.
Such a interesting cover
Another great song by an awesome band that proves that rock can be more than drums guitar and bass. ✌️
Those horns, and in particular the clarinet solos, have a very New Orleans jazz feel for me. Terrific album.
Those horns and that clarinet makes feel to listen a 20's, 30's jazz band and also makes feel a nostalgic sensation, specially at the end of the song, I don't know if you feel the same.
That clarinet …
Airplay recommendation,
Hot Tuna, album Quah, song "Water Song".
Hot Tuna was founded by two original band members of Jefferson Airplane.
No one on youtube plays music from this group.
Group think is the problem. After this song play entire Hot Tuna "Burgers" album and you will be introduced to Papa John Creach on electric violin.
Good play!
Fun Facts: if you look at this album in the mirror, you'll see that above the Twin Towers it says 911 and this album came out in 79'🤟🎵
This was their biggest album saleswise. The Logical Song was a huge hit for them. I think that their "Even in the Quietest Moments" was their best work, but BiA is an excellent album. Solid all the way through. Good stuff.
Under the bounce, great analogy
Gym class heroes - cupids chokehold.
I knew it!!!
This was sampled in a pop song a few years ago.
Loved the horns, (clarinet,tuba and trombone ), they made the song.
Love how the crystal clean guitar at 3:15 keeps going up a halfstep up on the high strings into the chorus
Hi guys hope you do the whole album😊
We should have rebuilt those towers twice as big !
Only just came across your channel …
I love the approach you guys take.
No BS
Not too many interruptions.
Concise, yet obviously you appreciate & understand what you are listening to.
Liked & subscribed.
BTW I’m a white guy from Australia 😃😃😃👌👌👌
When this came out it was kind of a desert time in music and the sound was so good on this record it was astounding....
It's almost Dixieland done by an english rock band with that tuba and clarinet.
Album worthy reactions. Hard to have a favorite.
A great band. Tight and inventive. They are a very fresh sound. Many good songs.
So, Gym Class Heroes heavily sampled this on Cupid's Chokehold
Cupid's Chokehold by Gym Class Heroes, which borrows elements of this song, went to #1 for 5 consecutive weeks on Billboard's mainstream top 40 chart in 2007.
Supertramp uses, for pop music, unconventional instruments. In one song “Hide in your Shell” from the album Crime of the Century, they use a singing saw.
I heard this on the radio , probably before y'all were born but I never knew the name of the song or the band .
Great Album. So many great songs.
🎶❤️🎶
If you take the vocals out it sounds like a New Orleans funeral march.
These guys were huge in the mid to late 70s Supertramp was the first concert I ever went to as 11 year old in 1979 in Toronto Canada
Great album
They were fabulous live
The production quality is out of this world. Thats a Tuba and a clarinet. The Roots have a Tuba. Or a Euphonium that kind is called.
Tubas are in some Mexican groups. Not mariachi but other Old genres. But otherwise mostly in orchestras
Love how they almost go klezmer in this one with that clarinet too. Supertramp had it going on. 🙂
Thanks!! I guarantee you haven't heard their song Try Again. American radio hadn't heard of Supertramp when their first album was released. Try Again is the first look at what a great band they would become. When I discovered them (late), I quickly decided I had to have every album of theirs, & that's when I heard Try Again. It impressed me. Their second album was barely so-so for me; I never listen to it ..although there are those occasional commenters who like it. Their patreon told them they had better do better (and that relationship ended before the third album's release). Then came that incredible Crime of Century album. Try Again is most like what came off of that album.
Love me some Tramp !
Listen for the bloody well right.....
SUPERTRAMP was one of the Bona Fide SUPERGROUPS of the 1970's, with production values on par with Pink Floyd.
Sonically Superlative!
I thought I'd drop off another suggestion if interested. The Neville Brothers were an R&B, soul, funk band formed in 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana there were four brothers, Art, Charles, Aaron and Cyril. They recorded and produced there music together and in the beginning were considered to be a Madi Gra Indian group led by their uncle George Landry who was also a local musician. But they really came into fame around 1977 to 2013 the Neville Brothers banded together and formed one of the best-known and most musically adventurous groups to ever emerge from the New Orleans R&B scene in quiet some time. Later Aaron would go onto have a major solo career and would produce four Platinum albums and four Top 10 Hit's in the United States. Including three that reached number one on Billboard's Adult Contemporary charts. This is a live performance "The Neville Brothers - Everybody Plays The Fool - 10/31/1991 - Municipal Aud. N.O. (Official)" this is beautiful stuff, bro... (Ear candy 🍬)
Try Fool's Overture-An absolute Masterpiece!
you guys gotta do this whole album like you did for Aja. It is so iconic
Didn't think you were ready for some Super Tramp but since you are, can you please try to play some of my favorites, "Rudy", "School " or "Crime of the Century", l hope you like them 👍🤗
Clarinet
I couldn’t tell if that was an oboe or clarinet. Thank you!!
Trombone!
The horn you are hearing is a trombone, not a tuba. Pair this with the clarinet, and I always thought this song had a gypsy feel.
I believe there is a tuba in there as well after looking it up and reading all the comments
For me that sound is German, like oompah sound. Yes, great song.
Somebody did sample this
