Supertramp is the most underrated band. I was a child of the 70’s. I could have heard the first song through a k-Tel album, but so solid. Anyone remember the K-Tel albums?
I love many rock group and solo artists but they have always been my favourite since hearing Crime of the Century as a 12 year old in 1975. My love for them is followed closely by that for ELO. P.S. I still have a K-Tel 22 Fantastic Favourites album of early 1970s pop/rock hits.
Yes on underrated. My daughter was born in 1987 and I did my best to expose her to the best music. She's now 33 and Supertramp has been her favorite band since she was in high school. I did something right!
John Helliwell who plays the harmonica, sax, clarinet, and even some keyboards deserves a lot of credit for making this song sound so good. What a great feel!
It's Rick Davies who played the harmonica, not Heliwell. But yes, Helliwell was crucial for the band and deserves far more credit than he's usually given.
The band's current lineup includes Davies alongside drummer Bob Siebenberg, saxophonist John Helliwell (both since 1973), guitarist Carl Verheyen, trumpeter Lee Thornburg, bassist Cliff Hugo, keyboardist Mark Hart (all of whom joined in 1996), multi-instrumentalist Jesse Siebenberg (since 1997), keyboardist Gabe Dixon and backing vocalist Cassie Miller (both since 2010).
This is why I love psychedelics. It can take the catastrophe of your life and infuse it into your soul, no hiding, no repression or denial. And you grow from that.
GUD MURNIN MISS WOOSTA I appreciated these lyrics back in the 70s when this came out and now that I'm 62 years old and widowed last year after 40 years together I sure feel like I'm living these lyrics now.
...which is why you must live every day like it could be your last. Live with nothing untried and no regrets. Do everything you can today and put nothing off till tomorrow.
Who knew back when this came out, that in 40 years time we’d be watching videos of a new generation of people reactions on our phones? It’s nice because it’s like we are reliving the moment we first heard it ourselves. Those were special times.
I loved when your eyes got wide when the harmonica set in. In Germany we say "Ein Bild für die Götter" - a picture for the gods. I don't know why Supertramp seems to have been forgotten - they have so many incredible songs.
@@motomass8458 You're welcome. It's an expression on the border of being old fashioned, but I always liked it. It's similar to "a sight to behold", I guess.
I grew up listening to this tune. And took for granted just how well-composed it is. This is some gorgeous sound. Supertramp were so unique in so many ways.
@theh1n1shot Was gonna say, some songs just make you think and introspect and really take stock of things. This is a special one. The long way home for me right now takes me up and over this big hill and sometimes I just need to have this playing as I crest it and my little corner of the world comes into view
This song just made me cry, haven’t heard it in the longest time, ohhhhh the memories of my folks being young and healthy and my school days, oh my God, the good ol days....beautiful song, very nostalgic for me tho😞
I'm glad you have good memories of this. I associate it with a rotten time in my life, I'm trying to forget about what I associate it with and enjoy the music anyway.
The power of a song, it can take you to the most beautiful place in time or the most painful one, it’s a shame it brings back times of hardship for you it’s such a beautiful song, hope you stay strong and get to experience a beautiful and prosperous future.
@Antonio Rivera This may seem a bit far fetched, but we should all ask if he may be down with a fan meet-n-greet, when things get back to some sort of normalcy, of course. I think he would be cool to hang with, even for just a few hours. Just throwing that out there to see what sticks.
Agree! I was just thinking "wow, it's sooo great to see his videos, but I'd LOVE to meet him and his family. Jamal, seriously---if you lived anywhere near me, I'd invite you and your fam over for dinner....you would be so fun to talk with on serious topics, but you're also quite funny---especially your facial reactions! :-)
What could he do to those Friends of the Whole Worlds...?? Just curious, since i talk that way sometimes myself if i've had a 5th of whiskey...in about an hour.
"When you look through the years and you see what you could have been, oh, what you might have been, if you had had more time." ......right in the damn feels, e.v.e.r.y.t.i.m.e.
Ill say it here too. The entire Crime of the Century album is a MUST but the 3 songs that are essential are “Crime of the Century”, “School” and “Bloody Well Right”
Give a Little Bit was in Superman the Movie. The song "Give a Little Bit" - sung by Supertramp - plays on the radio as Lois parks at the gas station. The name of the band is a whimsical reference to the protagonist, as well as its lyrics foreshadow what the hero does later.
Gotta do “breakfast in America” as well as “goodbye stranger”. Goodbye stranger has great buildup to the end when they fade out to a jam. Great stuff 👍
I have said it before...Supertramp is one of the most underrated bands ever. So many instruments, sounds, harmonizing voices. Even In The Quietest Moments, have a listen to that one. LOVE IT!
The intro to this song just makes me smile, I hope it has the same effect on everyone else who is listening right now.....we need more smiles than cries
I been a Supertramp fan since I was 7 years old. I tend to think my taste in music was always superb 😜 and more mature than my age. My family still makes fun of me over the obsession I had with their song "It's Raining Again" in the early 80s and I was a small child. I just like the really good stuff.
A dear friend of mine passes away and the next morning my alarm clock went off with this song playing. Was the first time I heard it and I thought I was hearing from her from heaven. Was the weirdest feeling. Stay happy Jamel ,and keep dancing! We love you!!!
Just listened to Child Of Vision last Friday and it blew my mind to pieces. Boy, do I profoundly regret not having listened the whole album before! I always skipped the last two songs and it turned out to be one of my favorites now.
Listening to songs so good like this makes me so happy to have had the luxury of growing up when they were released,but also listening to songs like this today makes me so sad that such good songs are rarely made anymore,if at all.
It is sad, indeed. I grieve for the teens of today - the music now is shite. Listening to what's being played in the car next to me at a red light is heartbreaking - foul language, anger, hate, rage, ugliness. The beautiful, happy, soul-enriching 1970s are gone forever.
@@lisahinton9682 Nicely put.The 70's had such variety and creativity,and we did not have to search for the songs because they were everywhere,and it seemed like it would never end.There was always another great new song to listen to.To me it is a lost art form.Some say I am getting old lol but there is more to it than that... I could have been next to that same car you mentioned>except it wasn't...there are too many of those cars out there now unfortunately.I will turn up songs like this so I don't have to listen to that rubbish from those cars haha...
@@Trashman1964 I, too, was born in 1964. You're exactly right - you didn't have to "look" for good music, or, as another user on this thread said, "just know where to look" (frigging HELL, that breaks my heart for that CHILD), because great music was everywhere, all the time. It was on every station, every concert, every everything, had great music. A swear word was rare - emotions could be, and were, expressed brilliantly without filth. Now, filth's all you hear and it's boring, dull, depressing, predictable. Ahh, to leap on a time-travelin' bus and go back.. If only.....
I love that harmonica opening. It sounds COLD, like a dark, late-Autumn night where our song's protagonist is walking alone from streetlight to streetlight.
The biggest mistake Roger Hodson made in his life was not getting back in line behind Mr. Synergy profound striker of the keyboards himself - the flat out unabated 100% effort of Rick Davies!
I'm 65 and I miss the 70's. I remember when Supertramp played Jarry park in July of 1979 in Montreal. We couldn't afford tickets so a bunch of us sat outside the stadium and smoked a J or two and were taken away by these tunes.
Alex n Andy seem like good young fellows. Jayveetv just graduated HS, I believe. Always a pleasure seeing you young people discovering music we older folks have known for decades.
I like Jayvee, he seems really sweet. Alex and Andy bring in a technical view to the songs, kinda like the Masterpiece Theater of reactors. They cracked me up when they did Frankenstein. But Jamel, he just feels the music, he rocks out. He is a pure joy to watch, like seeing your child open a present and really loving it. 🙂
@@nancy9478 Great analogy! If I'm honest, I'm kind of jealous of Jamel, Jayvee, and Andy & Alex. I'll never again get to experience the joy of discovering this music and hearing it for the first time like we did when we were young. I love watching them all so I can live vicariously through them. I enjoy their facial expressions, and just overall love for the music we've been enjoying for so long. They make me feel 18 again.
So true! :-( It has such an upbeat melody, I never really noticed. And, just like SO MANY other songs, hearing Jamal's thoughts makes it even more meaningful.
I don't think Jamel will have heard The Supertramp song "Even in the Quietest Moments" on the radio. Andy and Alex sometimes act like they tend to prefer "bangers", and I think Jamel will possibly appreciate Even In The Quietest Moments more than Andy & Alex. It could be a song to stand out on this channel. It's very lovely. But it has to be the extended studio version, or you don't get the birds, etc. This one: ruclips.net/video/dkrnIuxgSUg/видео.html
I remember when I first realized reaction videos were a thing on RUclips. WTF? Seriously? Now I'm addicted. It's like being a teen again discovering new music with friends. J is so open-hearted and genuine in his appreciation, it adds a dimension to the experience only surpassed by actually playing with other musicians - something I've not had the opportunity to do in many years. Brings joy to my heart and a tear to my eye. Rock on brother, peace and blessings. So much great music in this world, you'll never run out, and it's a pleasure to share it with you.
This song sounds both sad and happy at the same time, supertramp and their contemporaries like ELO, Queen, Eagles were brilliant and no surprise their music has resonated with so many over decades.
There were only five actually and not that much overdubbing either, only some synth strings and organ and, according to the official credits, some guitar hidden in the soundscape too.
Grethe Therese Juel I couldn’t rememember ... I have all their albums cds and about 8 dvds of concert material ... just an awesome band of great musicians and composer’s 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yep! This song is a masterpiece. The composition, the musicianship. You’d really would be hard-pressed to find stars of today that have this amount of actual musical talent.
This song is still so amazing. they just don't make bands like this anymore. it's true. bands now aspire to make music like this but it just can't be done. and his voice is so pure, sweet & high! the 1970's were just packed with legendary bands with a progressive rock sound. I don't think there will ever be another decade quite like it.
There's a live version where the harmonica just cuts you in half. "Then you feel that your life's become a catastrophe, ohhhh it has to be...for you to grow, boy" This line never fails to hit me so hard.
This here is my childhood. We were driving on a country road in my dad's old VW bus. He, being a lover of the harmonica, cranked it up on the opening. I didn't have the best childhood but that moment I connected with my father.
Five master musicians in the group with Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson leading he way lyrically and on keyboards and guitar. John Anthony Helliwell is the master of the woodwinds including the harmonica, clarinet and saxophone. I recently learned though after all these decades that Richard davies played the haunting harmonica on the intro to School.
from a songwriters point this to me is one of the best written songs in any style. The instruments tell a story right away . sad , lost and where the fuck is home . then there's hope and that harmonic is giving the song the feel like its a old story from the 1850 . Then the ending that goes through all these chords like its all slipping away and then you realized your OK being late because you're finally at peace with yourself . Amazing is the only word i can use because art this good can't be described
Horse with no name a must. Jamel_aka_Jamal, try watching some Reo Brothers. They are very talented singers and musicians covering the Beatles, Bee Gees, Eagles, America...
We have a local band that used to do only Christmas shows and now are doing more AM gold rock. We caught them on spur of the moment and they played a lot of America and the Eagles. Great stuff.
Goosebumps, that's the word, That's the feeling when you attend to a Roger Hodgson show and this song, which is the opening one, starts. You know straight ahead that tne magic and fun is starting, and as Roger says, we leave all our problems out of the venue and a special journey begins...

I agree completely! Jamal just seems like such a good person.
Wow thanks
@amyelle smit even when he's recovering from wisdom teeth surgery! such a treat of positive vibes
Totally agree!
Agree!!!!!💗💗💗💗💗
"D'yall feel that?"
Yes we do Jamel. We have been feeling it for decades.
Cheers.
So true. Turned this one way up. My first clip for the day over a cup of coffee.
Since 76! Still feeling 17 when I hear this...
Yeah baby long road home
I’m twice your age but I’m back to my 20’s when I hear this. There are very distinct songs that never fade from memory and are ageless.
mkkpk
He’s 40. I doubt if your 80.
Jamal's facial expressions when the music's too good for words -- Priceless!
🤗
Freaking harmonica makes me lose my mind. Absolutely badass
It's a masterpiece, that one.
My wife said that if more people listened to the music and your reaction, there would be more peace in the world.
i love how Jamal sees love & a different spin .. his facial reactions at times make me laugh sometimes they floor me
I agree!
i agree 100% 😎👍
Supertramp fez e faz parte da minha vida. Som maneiro, coisa de quem sabe o que é fazer música que rompe a barreira do tempo.

@@sourisvoleur4854 I long to hear these kinds of stories. Spread the Supertramp love one listener at a time especially the younger generation.
Same here brother, SuperTramp was excellence!
I remember the advertisement for K-Tel Records. You could find just about anything with those guys.
John Helliwell who plays the harmonica, sax, clarinet, and even some keyboards deserves a lot of credit for making this song sound so good. What a great feel!
It's Rick Davies who played the harmonica, not Heliwell. But yes, Helliwell was crucial for the band and deserves far more credit than he's usually given.
1st time I ever heard a clarinet switching leads with a harmonica.
The harmonica is played by Rick Davis in this song.

"And when you feel like your life's become a catastrophe,oh it has to be,for you to grow boy!"....that line has stuck with me for many years.
Underrated comment right here!!
Same
This is why I love psychedelics. It can take the catastrophe of your life and infuse it into your soul, no hiding, no repression or denial. And you grow from that.
Beautiful introspective. Its a great lyric
When your wife thinks you're a part of the furniture, hit home hard.
“When you look through the years you see what you could have been, oh what you might have been, if you had more time.”- best line
Excellent, man.
GUD MURNIN MISS WOOSTA I appreciated these lyrics back in the 70s when this came out and now that I'm 62 years old and widowed last year after 40 years together I sure feel like I'm living these lyrics now.
The line that hits me" when your day comes to settle down who's to blame if you're not around".
I feel lucky that I've known and loved this song since it was first played on the radio.
...which is why you must live every day like it could be your last. Live with nothing untried and no regrets. Do everything you can today and put nothing off till tomorrow.

You make the world a better place. Your soul and life are a joy to watch.
'Take The Long Way Home'. And ' School' are two of my favorites.
I grew up listening to this tune. And took for granted just how well-composed it is. This is some gorgeous sound. Supertramp were so unique in so many ways.
Absolutely incredible time to grow up!!
I can't tell you how many times I took the long way home, jamming to this song.
Saved my life once.
Can't tell you how many times it made me WANTto!
@theh1n1shot Was gonna say, some songs just make you think and introspect and really take stock of things. This is a special one. The long way home for me right now takes me up and over this big hill and sometimes I just need to have this playing as I crest it and my little corner of the world comes into view
The long way home is for when you need extra time to get the brain in the proper order.
Definitely on the list.
This song just made me cry, haven’t heard it in the longest time, ohhhhh the memories of my folks being young and healthy and my school days, oh my God, the good ol days....beautiful song, very nostalgic for me tho😞
I'm glad you have good memories of this. I associate it with a rotten time in my life, I'm trying to forget about what I associate it with and enjoy the music anyway.

Makes me wish time stood still in that era for awhile.
God bless you.
I know what your talking about, coming home from school. Living in the country. Brought up my child hood. Love it.
Jamel seems like the kind of person who could the Whole Worlds Friend. Would love to meet him one day. God Bless Him.
@Antonio Rivera This may seem a bit far fetched, but we should all ask if he may be down with a fan meet-n-greet, when things get back to some sort of normalcy, of course. I think he would be cool to hang with, even for just a few hours. Just throwing that out there to see what sticks.

......right in the damn feels, e.v.e.r.y.t.i.m.e.
Yes
That line still gets to me to this day & I started listening many many years ago...lol
Totally agree with you! Also, I never gave this song ANY thought, but now that I've heard it through Jamal, it's more enjoyable!
Yes. Amen
Jesus what a kick in the nuts those lyrics are...
Ill say it here too. The entire Crime of the Century album is a MUST but the 3 songs that are essential are “Crime of the Century”, “School” and “Bloody Well Right”
It's like deja vu reading this comment..........😁
You're bloody well right to say that
Almost Human Agree, the album is just outstanding add Asylum and Rudy to the must list
What an album!!
Dont forget about Dreamer and Rudy
Might I suggest The Hollies? Maybe “Long Cool Woman(in a black dress)”, “Air That I Breathe” or “Bus Stop”?
Great songs, He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother is another one too.
"LONG COOL WOMAN"
I'd suggest starting with "Stay" ruclips.net/video/S9D9dUgV8jE/видео.html
That song had punk energy more than ten years before punk rock.
Air That I Breathe is incredibly beautiful
Or "Stop, Stop, Stop". Best damned Hollies song ever!
I got goosebumps you gettin goosebumps!
This still sounds amazing after all these years, it doesn’t lose any of its magic!!
The very moment you “literally got the chills - the damn goosebumps” belongs in The Reactors Hall of Fame.
"Give a little bit" One of their best songs.
That's the one that caught me at Hello.
"Give a Little Bit" is song used in a great variety of TV Commercials. Nice song.
Give a Little Bit was in Superman the Movie.
The song "Give a Little Bit" - sung by Supertramp - plays on the radio as Lois parks at the gas station. The name of the band is a whimsical reference to the protagonist, as well as its lyrics foreshadow what the hero does later.
Should also try 'Even in the Quietest Moments' and 'Fool's Overture' 'Lord Is It Mine?'
"Dreamer", "Give a Little Bit", "Take the Long Way Home", "The Logical Song", "It's Raining Again", and "Breakfast in America".
Gotta do “breakfast in America” as well as “goodbye stranger”. Goodbye stranger has great buildup to the end when they fade out to a jam. Great stuff 👍
Second this.
I couldn't agree more.
Goodbye stranger has one of the best guitar solos on a pop song ever
Great song.
Goodbye stranger is an obvious best to me!
Supertramp was one of the Greatest bands Ever! Breakfast in America is a masterpiece! And I STILL have some k-tel albums.....
This is the true purpose of the blues harmonica - to make the sound that represents the wailing of the human soul.
I love watching your face when you start to FEEL the song. It's beautiful.
The opening to this song is one of my all-time favorites.
This song always gives goosebumps and I've known it for 40 years.
Why?
43 years Take the long way home came out in the 70s Early 1979, Give some credit to the 70s PLEEEEEEASE
43 Released in early 1979
I have said it before...Supertramp is one of the most underrated bands ever. So many instruments, sounds, harmonizing voices. Even In The Quietest Moments, have a listen to that one. LOVE IT!
Great show, much love❣
The intro to this song just makes me smile, I hope it has the same effect on everyone else who is listening right now.....we need more smiles than cries
Thanks for the sentiment. Same here.
One of the best albums ever recorded...
I was going to suggest Give A Little Bit, but this ones good too.
☝️ this please
You still can and kinda just did.
@@mneugent7658 I did! Thanks :)
Yes!! Give a little bit!!! Ya!!
I like give a little bit. It was used in Superman the movie.

My family still makes fun of me over the obsession I had with their song "It's Raining Again" in the early 80s and I was a small child. I just like the really good stuff.
When that harmonica drops I get goosebumps and tears in my eyes......a totally different world back then.....
You're out here bringing us together in these troubled times...we're definitely watching ☮️❤️
Facts!!!
A dear friend of mine passes away and the next morning my alarm clock went off with this song playing. Was the first time I heard it and I thought I was hearing from her from heaven. Was the weirdest feeling. Stay happy Jamel ,and keep dancing! We love you!!!

Another GREAT album. Breakfast in America by Supertramp. I don't care what anyone says, my generation has INCREDIBLE music!!!!
My favourite Supertramp song ever. It's so wistful.
I looooove them. "Goodbye Stranger" is another masterpiece.
Definitely needs to try "Goodbye Stranger"
Goodbye stranger definitely is
a must!
This whole album is fantastic

Dont forget even in the quietest moments
That is so true!!, one of my absolute favorite albums!!!
@@bradleyschultz1710 True. To be real, all of their albums between Crime and Breakfast are awesome.

I'll never again get to experience the joy of discovering this music and hearing it for the first time like we did when we were young. I love watching them all so I can live vicariously through them. I enjoy their facial expressions, and just overall love for the music we've been enjoying for so long. They make me feel 18 again.
Jayvee just graduated from college.
Love all of these kids getting to discovering our childhood music!
Love all these kids discovering our childhood music we grew up with!
I just love your show God bless you for doing this all of this beautiful music that I have forgotten thank you
You know one of those songs that INSTANTLY take you back to your childhood?! God, this one makes me emotional.
A lyrical masterpiece. Like all their songs 🎵
I've heard this song dozens of times over 40 years. I never realized how brutally sad it was until I checked out the lyrics. Damn!
The older I get, the sadder it gets! lol
So true! :-( It has such an upbeat melody, I never really noticed. And, just like SO MANY other songs, hearing Jamal's thoughts makes it even more meaningful.
Lisaws WS: The older you get, unfortunately, how poignant the song gets.
I've had EXACTLY the very same experience!
Same here such a sad song but in a good way
The best music is that music you “feel”!!
Try -- It's Raining Again, Breakfast In America, Bloody Well Right, Dreamer...
Right, Right, you’re bloody well right, you’ve got a bloody right to see!!!
It's raining again is a forgotten gem! Great song.
School
I don't think Jamel will have heard The Supertramp song "Even in the Quietest Moments" on the radio. Andy and Alex sometimes act like they tend to prefer "bangers", and I think Jamel will possibly appreciate Even In The Quietest Moments more than Andy & Alex. It could be a song to stand out on this channel. It's very lovely.
But it has to be the extended studio version, or you don't get the birds, etc. This one:

Yes! Dreamer is a must!!
Yes, man...the musicality of the 70s and 80s is lost forever!!!
Jamal,you can't deny the beauty of this song,written all over your face,,! I was much younger when this was released. I'm 73..
This song just makes you smile. Brings back some great memories. "Breakfast in America" is a must-own album.
I remember when I first realized reaction videos were a thing on RUclips. WTF? Seriously? Now I'm addicted. It's like being a teen again discovering new music with friends. J is so open-hearted and genuine in his appreciation, it adds a dimension to the experience only surpassed by actually playing with other musicians - something I've not had the opportunity to do in many years. Brings joy to my heart and a tear to my eye. Rock on brother, peace and blessings. So much great music in this world, you'll never run out, and it's a pleasure to share it with you.
Driving home from work when this song was popular, and if it came on I would literally take a longer way home when I heard it.
This is one of my favorite songs by Supertramp. I was rocking out the Supertramp in my twenties and now I'm 68 Still rocking out to Supertramp.
This song sounds both sad and happy at the same time, supertramp and their contemporaries like ELO, Queen, Eagles were brilliant and no surprise their music has resonated with so many over decades.
Thumbs up for this man who knows what it means to “take the long way home “.
@Jamel_AKA_Jamal do you share all these songs with your wife?
6 or 7 band members .... you couldn’t have picked a better band ... so many great songs thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
There were only five actually and not that much overdubbing either, only some synth strings and organ and, according to the official credits, some guitar hidden in the soundscape too.
Grethe Therese Juel I couldn’t rememember ... I have all their albums cds and about 8 dvds of concert material ... just an awesome band of great musicians and composer’s 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic musicians. Quite incredible live.
Jamal...It's only logical that you react to "The Logical Song", also "Goodbye Stranger" "Give a Little Bit" and "Bloody Well Right"
Thanks!
100%
Breakfast in America is fantastic too
That Hammond B3 kicks in and takes you to heaven!!!! Roger, you are the best!!!!!!!!!
Yep! This song is a masterpiece. The composition, the musicianship.
You’d really would be hard-pressed to find stars of today that have this amount of actual musical talent.
I’ve been getting goosebumps to this song for almost 40 years man. It’s just about new every time for me. Love that you’re doing these.
Supertramp is probably my favorite band, you really should check out "School" for Crime of the Century, it will blow you away.
Indeed, the scream at the beginning, it just wouldn't sound right without it.
Don't forget "Dreamer", excellent song!
This song is still so amazing. they just don't make bands like this anymore. it's true. bands now aspire to make music like this but it just can't be done. and his voice is so pure, sweet & high! the 1970's were just packed with legendary bands with a progressive rock sound. I don't think there will ever be another decade quite like it.
Agree... so true
There's bands like that- but they don't get promoted anymore for some weird reason. Look at the charts, dumbing down the youth
This music took me to another level.
Incredible to believe these are Brits .... love to know who or where or what influenced them...!! Love em .!!
There's a live version where the harmonica just cuts you in half.
"Then you feel that your life's become a catastrophe, ohhhh it has to be...for you to grow, boy"
This line never fails to hit me so hard.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Oh hell yeah! Such a good song.
Supertramp is underrated.
Thanks Jemel. Stay safe sir!
"Give a little bit" also from these guys is another banger.
Supertramp…totally unique sound and lyrics.There’s no-one like them.Just beautiful.
This here is my childhood. We were driving on a country road in my dad's old VW bus. He, being a lover of the harmonica, cranked it up on the opening. I didn't have the best childhood but that moment I connected with my father.
That’s great that at least you had that moment.
I'm a 56 six year old guitarist I'm so glad I grew up with this music . dude thanks for sharing this with a new generation you are cool .
Five master musicians in the group with Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson leading he way lyrically and on keyboards and guitar. John Anthony Helliwell is the master of the woodwinds including the harmonica, clarinet and saxophone. I recently learned though after all these decades that Richard davies played the haunting harmonica on the intro to School.
The Term Supergroup was invented because of this group I think lol, but it still does not cover Supertramp's greatness
@@bigmike2464 Amen to that. Their greatness has been acknowledged by many and it still doesn't do them proper service.
This is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time. When you felt that in the beginning, that’s the real shit!!!
i love watching your soul fill up again when you hear the songs of my youth. Supertramp was my gospel. still kinda is.
Jamal, I gave you a "like" simply for your goosebumps. I love this song.
I also get chills every time the harmonica comes in! (And so many other parts of this song too...) Thanks @Jamel_AKA_Jamal!
Your soul smiles the same way mine does when that harmonica comes in. I'd love to sit and jam to music with you.
from a songwriters point this to me is one of the best written songs in any style. The instruments tell a story right away . sad , lost and where the fuck is home . then there's hope and that harmonic is giving the song the feel like its a old story from the 1850 . Then the ending that goes through all these chords like its all slipping away and then you realized your OK being late because you're finally at peace with yourself . Amazing is the only word i can use because art this good can't be described
that closing progression of chords always takes me somewhere. i can't explain it...
being at peace with yourself.
Supertramp is an amazingly beautiful music machine.
Your reaction represents how all of us felt about music in the 70s and 80s. Music that could be thoroughly enjoyed..
how about some Pablo Cruise-"Love will find a way" or some America "Sister Golden Hair", "Ventura Highway" or "You can do Magic" . amazing band.
Just saw them live last november in new zealand. Front row seats they were so good live.
Love America. You Can Do Magic ♥️
Horse with no name a must. Jamel_aka_Jamal, try watching some Reo Brothers. They are very talented singers and musicians covering the Beatles, Bee Gees, Eagles, America...
We have a local band that used to do only Christmas shows and now are doing more AM gold rock. We caught them on spur of the moment and they played a lot of America and the Eagles. Great stuff.
Definitely to all, and I'd add Whatcha Gonna Do by Pablo Cruise as well!
Goosebumps, that's the word, That's the feeling when you attend to a Roger Hodgson show and this song, which is the opening one, starts. You know straight ahead that tne magic and fun is starting, and as Roger says, we leave all our problems out of the venue and a special journey begins...
Loved this as a kid. The sadness to it really engaged with me
I grew up with this as a kid, this was actually what I was falling asleep to 🥰
Another great Supertramp song you don’t here much but it hits the heart is ..... Lord is it mine..... GREAT BAND!
