Even In The Quietest Moments - This song is so quintessentially 70s. There is no other decade that produced this glistening laid-back yet deep intense and dreamy sound and sensibility. People can imitate it but the mojo is all back then.
So true and the song that got me interested in the band along with Give a Little Bit. I listened to the whole album on a local FM radio station in 1977.The beginning of this song reminds me of the beginning of the title tune to The Clise to the Edge song by the prog. Rock band YES!
Thank you! I really try to feel the music on first listen and it almost always moves me pretty significantly. Glad you enjoy and thanks so much for watching and commenting Adam!
I am crying I always cried with my friend when we listened to this song of the Masters we were 17/18 I am now 65 haven't heard this for along time timeless music pure classe! Thanks for the reactions Retro
Not a highly publicized bassist however, Dougie Thompson's bass line in this is sublime, not overly penetrating but so sweet how it meanders through the song.
Dreamer, the Wurlitzer electric piano dominates, a Supertramp trademark. When Roger Hodgson plays it, it is almost like a percussion instrument. Lyrically, despite the happy melody, a bit of angst and criticism are being expressed, unexpected...good. One of eight masterpices from " Crime Of The Century ", their masterpiece of masterpiece albums. EITQM features Hodgson's masterful 12 string acoustic guitar skills(wish he'd done that a bit more) and Rick Davies on organ is just right. Lyrically, a song of spiritual searching, that extended vocal section really makes the song sparkle. Hodgson as a solo artist has live versions, worth a listen(his voice has held up pretty well over the years) A bit of trivia about the EITQM cover: the sheet music depicted is actually " The Star Spangled Banner "
Glad you got back to Supertramp. You love their amazing arrangements, dynamics and musicianship as much as I do. Never tire of throwing on a Supertramp LP. Thanks so much. Can't wait for Babajii, Give a Little Bit and the rest of this LP
Glad you enjoyed them Brandon 🙂 Knew 'Even in the Quietest Moments' would go down well with you 👌 'Easy Does It/Sister Moonshine' could be a good choice next (need to be played together) 🤓
Cheers Brandon, yeah, we're glad you have the same taste as us 😉 Ooh, almost forgot the track 'Lady' which you'll definitely like. More bouncy electric piano stuff 👍
Steve Miller Band is another band you may or may not be familiar with to add to your list. Another of my go to bands in the 70's/80's. Great choices are "Rock'n Me", "Swing Town", "Jungle Love", "Serenade", "Abracadabra", "Fly Like an Eagle", "Take The Money And Run" and "The Joker"
Hello. Yes I've had them on my to do list since the beginning of my channel basically. I know most of their big hits though. Out of your list, I think I have not heard Jungle Love and Serenade, so thanks for the guidance! Abracadabra is EPIC and I've loved it since it was new!
Just listened again. Was the outtro lifted from very early Floyd 'Set the controls for the heart of the sun?' Musically similar too. Loved them, just a notch behind Genesis and Floyd, not quite their rich grandeur and big finishes.
Enjoy watching your thoughtful and complete yet succinct rxn vids -tks. The acuity of your ear and accurate id of the many instruments heard, comparison, and musical techniques is something i have not found on other rxn vid channels. As band and concert musician in late 60's/ early 70's, i have always had a soft spot for prog rock so your retro rxn to me are the best. I agree and have always felt lyrics in "...Quietest Moment" are spiritual in nature but disagree, it's not a spiritual suffering but instead heartfelt prayer of person understanding the human condition and ultra thin veil betw our everyday consciousness and all too rare oneness experience that's always in us but masked behind the veil. Thanks again!
Hello there! Thanks so much for those wonderful compliments. I try hard to give thorough and honest reactions, so I appreciate you recognizing it. Yes, those lyrics were a bit vague, so it's something I could easily misinterpret on quick 1st read. The love songs are usually the easiest to decipher haha....Peace!
Fitting background. Dreamer is a song that stood out on the album as it was released as a single. Crime of the Century as the most easygoing of them all. Great song. The entire album Crime of the Century is best enjoyed in one single session as it, in my view, follow Rudy from young to older song by song. The drummer is Ben Siebender. Even in the quiet moment is a song that never gets old.
SUPERTRAMP: Wonderful keyboard (electric piano) and synthesizer 😉. Cosmic and Magical! "Dreamer", an anthology piece. And what about all those professional rock music reviewers who consider "Fool's Overture" and "Even In The Quietest Moments" to be rather negligible compositions by the band? Totally incomprehensible and distressing. Thanks.
"Dreamer" was a highlight on "Crime". The first two records (1970 and 1971) were musically immature. For their third album, Hodgson and Davies made some line-up changes, they also changed the musical style significantly, and the result was "Crime Of The Century", one of the finest albums of the time. "Crisis? What Crisis?" was still able to keep the artistic standard. With "Even In the Quietest Moments" there were already the first creative problems. "Breakfast In America" was commercially very successful. But the changeover to quite shallow, chart-oriented pop songs was already recognizable. After that, the band only produced musical mush. But I still enjoy listening to "Crime" today.
Great band, like ELO really unique sound but I've heard on the net they can be a bit heavy on copyright, so tread carefully (apparently so can The Eagles).
Luckily I have had no issues with ST, thanks for the heads up though. Of course the copyright holders take any money made on my video, including for all MY content. But that's all part of the reaction game. Eagles I probably will never touch because they issue actual strikes which can get a channel terminated...Thanks Mark
"Dreamer" was my favorite Supertramp song until I heard "Child of Vision." I love when they sing back and forth at each other. It's almost a trademark. I've never heard any other group do it as much as S-T does. You might say this song is unusual for a Supertramp song in that it has no sax or clarinet.
I remember recommending a few Supertramp songs. Dreamer was my first ever listen. Love it. ‘Give a little bit’ is a special favourite too. And the few songs I recommended to you from ‘Breakfast In America’. Enjoy. 🎶❤️🎶
Hello there! Yes, I remember that. So much more ST for me to discover, that's why I'm trying to do 2 songs when their turn comes around. Thank you Eddie!!
The live version of “Dreamer” from the “Paris” live LP is epic. That’s the version that I grew up with. Of course, anything by Supertramp is outstanding. 😊 Keep rocking and Progging:)
@@retroreactions.... Brandon, it's just a personal opinion, Supertramp as very few other Superbands like Genesis, Yes, Zeppelin, or Pink Floyd deserves a full album reaction, song by song, instead separated picks reactions.
Two great tracks but not my faves. Preferred 'Crisis' and 'Crime of the Century' overall. I've always wondered about 'Quietest moments'... There's a line about the rain, 'here it comes again dear'.... I wonder if it was ever written ' here comes the rain dear' until they realised what it sounded like?
Rather than reacting to a pair of disparate songs by the same artist, have you considered reacting to a pair of songs with the same theme? - e.g. for 'the finding and sullying of paradise' - 'Telegraph Road' by Dire Straights & 'The Last Resort' by The Eagles?
Again buddy… nice picks today! Been a great week so far. I saw a recommendation for “Easy Does It” and “Sister Moonshine”…. I definitely second that suggestion. Especially liked EITQM.. loved the clarinet, something you don’t hear often. Maybe next Supertramp you’d be up for a lot of Helliwell sax and David Gilmour solos…. there’s always that 16+ minute masterpiece “Brother Where You Bound”. I know I sound like a broken record, but I know you’ll find this an epic song. Lol
Almost did that one today (Bro where you..) So I think there's a very good chance it'll be on their next go around! I mean, how can I resist a 16.5 minute ST song??
They never miss! Sonic excellence no matter what the mood or tone they present... Thanks for watching! 🥰
Even In The Quietest Moments - This song is so quintessentially 70s. There is no other decade that produced this glistening laid-back yet deep intense and dreamy sound and sensibility. People can imitate it but the mojo is all back then.
Agree 100% It's no wonder why the majority of my channel has been 70s music....

Nice! Loved that song by Yes!
I love Supertramp especially their Breakfast in America album!
Hello! Great decision, I love em too!! So much more for me to discover...Thanks for watching!!
As a clarinet player, I have a special place in my heart for Quietest Moments 🥰 That solo in the opening is sublime!
Yes, I adored that opening clarinet section too! Thanks Haley!
You show great respect by closing your eyes and seriously getting into each song. Thanks. It's nice to see people nowadays get it like we did. 😊
Thank you! I really try to feel the music on first listen and it almost always moves me pretty significantly. Glad you enjoy and thanks so much for watching and commenting Adam!
All the cool people listen to Supertramp!! 😎♥🎼🎹🎸🥁🎷🎶🎶
We be really cool!! Happy Thursday!!!
Happy Thursday!! The 2nd song is amazing.😍🤩
Unbelievable in concert. What a privilege to have all this phenomenal music growing up as a teenager. I thoroughly enjoy your reviews. ✌️&❤
Yes! I've watched a few from the Paris concert, AMAZING talent....I'm so glad you enjoy my content, thank you so much for your support!! 💙
I am crying I always cried with my friend when we listened to this song of the Masters we were 17/18 I am now 65 haven't heard this for along time timeless music pure classe! Thanks for the reactions Retro
Quietest Moments is my favorite Supertramp song. So peaceful and hypnotic. Moody Blues-type of song!
My favorites! ❤🎶

I LOVE Dougie's base on EITQM!!

I never owned any Supertramp albums, but I always love their songs whenever I hear them. Thanks, great choices!
You're welcome!!
Great group of fine musicians. They definitely dream of 'something out of this world'. I too heard a sax toward the end. Good ear.
For sure!
Glad you got back to Supertramp. You love their amazing arrangements, dynamics and musicianship as much as I do. Never tire of throwing on a Supertramp LP. Thanks so much. Can't wait for Babajii, Give a Little Bit and the rest of this LP
You're very welcome. Added your vote for Babaji. I know Give a Little Bit very well. Awesome song!
Simply Magestic tunes from the Great Supertramp 💫❤️☝️ thanks for the reaction bro ☝️
You're welcome, thanks for tuning in!!
Glad you enjoyed them Brandon 🙂 Knew 'Even in the Quietest Moments' would go down well with you 👌 'Easy Does It/Sister Moonshine' could be a good choice next (need to be played together) 🤓
Thanks Dean. You know my musical taste well haha....Will add your votes for those 2- wow just realized I know nothing from that album..
Cheers Brandon, yeah, we're glad you have the same taste as us 😉 Ooh, almost forgot the track 'Lady' which you'll definitely like. More bouncy electric piano stuff 👍
Yes, two nice tracks from an amazing album!
Haha nice...
Interesting details about Colorado. Living in Denver, other than the cover, I was totally unaware!
Nice! I've been to CO a couple of times, including last year! Beautiful peaceful state!

👍🎸🤘
Just listened again. Was the outtro lifted from very early Floyd 'Set the controls for the heart of the sun?' Musically similar too. Loved them, just a notch behind Genesis and Floyd, not quite their rich grandeur and big finishes.
Not sure. ST is one of my favorites from this channel. And so much more to discover, thanks!
What a criminally underrated band, brilliant music.
I get to hear them again this week! Always a special treat! Thanks

Dreamer is from their BEST album. Even in the quietest moments us narveloys too. I wouldnt have minded two videos here.
From even in the quietists moments is a fantastic love song called down stream by Rick Davies please check it out it is gorgeous

Yes, can't wait to listen to Crime album in 1 sitting after I've heard every song. Thanks for watching. Have a great night!
Both great songs. “EITQM” is I think an under appreciated gem.
For sure!

Really? Well, we could not disagree with them more! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Quietest is their best song, even if subjective. Those who are old souls prefer it.

Hey Brandon…good choices today. 😁 Supertramp had such a unique sound. Proggy but accessible. Gonna nag about Linda Ronstadt. SUCH a gorgeous voice!
Thanks! Agree. Noted...how funny I was just watching her on RUclips tonight...she can really sing any genre!!
simply... Awesome!
?:>)
Affirmative! Thanks for watching!!
The second song is like Led Zepplin and Rush had a baby. 👶 ♥🎶🎶
HA nice! I can totally hear that now that you mention it!
Not thru the whole song, but there's a baby there some where. 🤣
👼🍼
hee hee 🤣Geddy will be the Mom, ha ha ha.

“Dreamer” is an excellent song (not quite as good as “Rudy”, but it’s up there!)
Yea..like how it transitions into Rudy...School so far my favorite COTC!

Thanks, I still keep hearing sax for some reason...must be a larger or different type of clarinet?
1rst. one more time lol
Great and fantastic album Brandon, Fool's Overture is platinum record award, and Babaji has a special place 4 me
