One of the very few bands who can replicate tgeir studio sound in a live venue. Just goes to show their consumate musicianship. Saw them live at the L.A. Forum in '77. Best concert ever and have seen many (other bands)
If someone tells you that Supertramp was underrated or appreciated, they are coming from a US point of view. The band never hit the Billboard charts well until Breakfast In America. It peaked number 1. The subsequent albums fell off after that. Yes, they performed well in Canada, also Germany. I don't know why American music listeners didn't latch onto this band. BIA really had no choice but to hit number one. They played the crap out of it. I know, I was a teenager, and this was the album to have in 79.
For those of us who lived through this music, it's easy to see why we find todays music lacking. What was once a full meal has become a cube of sugar. Thanks for sharing!
This whole album is fantastic. It's a shame they never caught on in America until Breakfast In America from 79. Then they quickly fell off the charts after that. American audiences are finicky.
Famous Last Words was an underwhelming album Then they, effectively, broke up with Roger leaving, but the four album run from CotC to BiA is in my opinion the best four album run in music history. And yes, I'm including The Beatles. @@mgordon1100

I feel you, at times I feel like this is one of the best songs ever made and most certainly one of the most enduring. Unless I'm listening to Pink Floyd and then I see them as peers.
Hell, I think I love you guys. I am a 63 year old man sitting here, almost with tears in my eyes. I was there at the time. I know this album, I bought it when vinyl was the only real option. A twelve inch disc, with that cover image of the bars and the hands, laying on my kitchen table. I played it on a rosewood Denon DP52F from a completely different era than today. I (crystal clear) remember listening to this album - finished by THIS song, high as a kite - enthralled by it. “If Everyone was Listening”, “Rudy”, “Crime of the Century”. I knew that I was listening to something special. I listened to it over and over and over again. In my closet there hangs a Supertramp t-shirt I wear simply because I just want to. No shit, the two of you are among the straight-up reviewers on the net. God bless you, and thank you both.
Exactly what I mean when I say that Breakfast In America was great but it's never as good as Crime Of The Century or Even In The Quietest Moments. Those two albums rank high among the best of the decade and beyond. Timeless music that still stands up today. ♥
@@ljsites I agree with you, though I'd put Crisis as their 3rd best. From what I've read, it was mostly put together from leftover tracks recorded for Crime. Not that there weren't some great songs, I just couldn't imagine Sister Moonshine fitting into the feel of Crime of the Century. Even the band wasn't as happy with Crisis as they'd liked to have been. Solid album, though!
Crime of the Century, the album, is in the top 3 albums I have owned. This album got me through a year of college. Another song you will enjoy by Supertramp is Fool's Overture from their Even in the Quietest Moments album. Also, I really enjoy your reactions as well as your understanding of music. Additionally, I appreciate your love of Supertramp ... you get them.
My theory behind this song is that it was meant to be started off originally to be tongue and cheek humor. Along the way, they stumbled across a serious masterpiece.
And that's why I have Supertramp tattooed across my collar bone ! Not to mention your reaction literally made me tear up ! The passion I have for them is unmeasurable ! There are music saved my life as a troubled 17 year old !
@@thorzzz1z, Absolutely not !! trust me I put a lot of thought into that before I did it ! I got to meet Roger Hodgson after a show because of that tattoo ! He actually stopped playing his Encore song walked to the edge of the stage leaned down shook my hand and gave me his guitar pick that he was playing with ! Believe it or not that happened 2 years in a row he recognized me from the year before , So now I have 2 guitar pics from Roger !
From all us old people, I'm glad you guys enjoy Supertramp as much as we did back then when they first hit the airwaves. Darken the room, pull out some green, lay back, and get pulled into their music. Saw them live back in the '80s and it was awesome!
If you're at a point in your life when you have a decision to make and you don't know which road to take, listen to this song to re-orient your head and re-align yourself, then you'll know what to do.
Interesting you should say that. I have dismissed them in the past, but here today- facing challenges- this is helping my brain feel better. As I get older I find myself more open to music that I haven't given a real chance. Helpful comment ✌🏼
Gentlemen, what can I say ? Except - Welcome to the club. You now know why they are one of my favorite bands. They can play any style of music they wish - and do. And make it their own. Shout out also to producer Ken Scott. Every great band needs a great producer to get it all down properly.
One of the best album ending songs ever. Supertramp are kings of dynamics. This was a La-removed-his-glasses type of awesome song. Che with the air piano. You gentleman are so enjoyable.
I was lucky enough to see Supertramp in Milwaukee twice. First, in 1975 and then again in 1977 (this time from the SECOND row, just to the right of Rick Davies). They closed the shows with this song both times. Supertramp is in my top 5. Their 5-album run from 1974-1980 is among the best in rock music history. The live album, 'Paris' is one of the best live records ever. Well worth listening to the entire 5 albums back-to-back to back. Oh, the Pink Floyd vibe comes from sound engineer Alan Parsons (yeah, THAT guy). He's the same dude who also engineered the tiny record, 'Dark Side of the Moon!!' 🌚❤
I remember waiting for this album to come out and listening to it it in the dark with headphones on. I was about 14. The whole album just gripped me an took me to a different place. It still does.
For me what stands out in this song is the incredibly subtle but dramatic drumming of Bob Seinbenberg. He has such a delicate yet powerful touch. I can’t get enough of his playing. A very underated player. I saw them live in 1979 and 1984, and it was such a joy.
I have three bands, Genesis, Pink Floyd and Supertramp. My favourite tracks from each begin with a C. Carpet Crawlers, Comfortably Numb and Crime of the Century. This is my favourite reaction to my three tracks. That means a lot, thanks guys.
The exact same reaction the first time I heard that song, and I have to agree and absolute masterpiece, symphonic in its arrangement. I have an eclectic taste in music across decades and genres but this is one of, if not my absolute favorite song if all time.
My friends, you both totally get it! This is the second time I've ever watched your reaction to the song. I don't usually comment, but watching you both this time around I had to. Cheers!
Supertramp are in a class of their own! What truly amazes me is that there are so many talented musicians that have come out of the UK! In my opinion, such a small country has produced the best and most creative music! What IS or IS NOT in their water supply?
Thank you . Finally someone calls this song what it is: a masterpiece. It is easily my favorite song by Supertramp. I agree with the Pink Floyd vibes, it has the same majesty. Fool's overture should be your next stop. 👍🥴
Thanks for playing all 3 of my favorite Super Tramp songs, although there's still so many more songs of theirs that I like but "Rudy ","School " and this one👍🏻😊 are my favorites ❤
Thank you for doing my favorite song of this album. I always appreciate your reactions from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin to Supertramp to whoever is in between!!! 👍💯 Greetings from Berlin Germany 😊😎
Supertramp stands shoulder to shoulder with other greats like Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Yes. They have the most impressive musical arrangements and compositions, their production was state of the art at the time, like the others above, they went next level as far as production goes. Supertramp is one of the 70's most criminally under recognized bands...not underrated...because everyone who ever hears them cant help but rate them highly.
This is why I enjoy your videos. Once again you have introduced me a classic rock fan to a new great song! Keep up the good work and I will keep watching. Thanks
I never considered Supertramp to be at the same table as Zep, Rush, Queen, or Sabbath, but the way you guys react, make me want to put them right there. I will say that they like Steely Dan are their own genre. Very unique.
yeah, that "table" is kinda based on what you bring to it. I'm 58 and still have holes in my musical -- I'm really just talking rock here, nevermind the other genres, lol -- knowledge big enuf to drive trucks thru. Zep's my overall fave, but I have to include The WHo, beatles, Stones, the usual suspects in my "Top 5 or ten" But i agree that maybe if i heard enuf Supertramp, Steely, or, say, even Motorhead, I might shuffle my list.
Brilliant song, brilliant album, brilliant band. Go get that birthday vinyl as it is best in its uncompressed form and just turn it up to 11, you will never regret it.
Best Supertramp album by far. Saw them live in Barcelona three times they start and finish each concert with harmònica intro of School song. This àlbum is jewel for all the músic lovers. Keep on rocking and thanks a lot.
I had the privilege of seeing them live on this tour. They played the entire album with a rear projection screen. This was the last song they played. I was like 16 years old. I also saw the "Even in the Quitest Moments" tour and "Breakfast in America" tour.
Seeing this song finish a show with the visuals you leave feeling like you've been locked behind bars floating out in space for eternity.... it feels great.
Pink Floyd, Led, Yes, Supertramp, Steely Dan, Genesis, Rush and the Stones are all in my room and sitting at my table! Nothing like the 70s for amazing music.
I heard this song the first time at the Tower Records in Campbell CA, and it was playing on the Tower system in the store…heard the piano solo in the middle and bought the album. Great song and an amazing album!❤😅

Saw them live in Montréal 3 Times , magical
This album , as 16 y o it changed everything
Can't wait till you hear "From now on." One of my Supertramp favorites. Thanks, guys.
no doubt at the same table!!
Supertramp is in my top 3…..love this album😍
A true masterpiece that is hardly know.
Supertramp has always been severly underrated.. It was always different, it was all so very original. Yes, they can sit at the table.
I don't know that they're underrated but definitely overlooked!
If everybody loved Supertramp they would still be underrated
Not in Toronto the Tramp were huge on the air and live

Aren't they sooo good? I had all their records! I love how they kept adding instruments, violins, sax, piano and drums!
SUPERTRAMP belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!😊
So we've got two deserving band who keep getting snubbed: Supertramp and War.
Don't forget Jethro Tull.@@324cmac
Why dishonor them that way. We know their greatness and that's all that matters.
The entire album is a masterpiece…another track ‘Asylum’ is a must hear from this album for sure 👍❤️
So funny I just made almost the same comment. Can’t wait for the guys to listen to Asylum. ❤️

"We can't talk about the best bands without putting Supertramp at the table." I totally agree.
Master Piece...
Greatest dramatic composition... just like "Fool's Overture".
This is why people like reaction videos. You guys nailed it.
Amazing album, incredible group!! So talented and innovative. Welcome through the portals of progressive rock!
I feel you, at times I feel like this is one of the best songs ever made and most certainly one of the most enduring. Unless I'm listening to Pink Floyd and then I see them as peers.
One of the best song in my catalog, as a musician, and a former kid very sensitive to music. Absolute master piece

(With all due respect to Sara Lee...)
That old jingle should go:
🎵🎶Nobody doesn't like La and Che.🎶🎵 (They're awesome!)
This album deserves a listen from beginning to end gents, it's a trip.
Preferably lightly baked. 😏

The strings and bassline and sax all combined really set it off for me.
When the sax came in and La fell back in his chair I lost it. 🤣
What’s up my brotha. That sounded sweet when the sax came in.
@@AirplayBeats looked like you were just like, "this is just too much greatness!"
The drum beats from beginning to end were powerful.
Glad to see your brother reaction.. remember he said he was left at home with Michael Jackson ❤
Bout dang time these guys get their props..I too believe Supertramp deserves to sit at that head table along with Led Zeppelin , Pink Floyd

This album and Eldorado!
Eldorado, yes!!!
And the harmonica gets snuck in at the tail end... just because they are perfect. Can't wait for more Supertramp reactions. This one was golden.
Great reaction. So much tremendous music in the 70’s. I was lucky to grow up in that time.
One very dramatic piece of music right there boys and girls. Luvuguys
There is sooooooo much really good Supertramp stuff - you have just scratched the surface. Enjoy the trip.
Both Bach and Dr. Dre would be proud of those beats and piano licks… timeless.
Coming in at 2.30 Still D.R.E!
Ironically the piano part was sampled in Fabulous’s “Breathe”

This entire album i used to listen with my sisters in 80's.
My dad leave us a beautifull musical legacy and another things.❤
Saw these guys live. My god. It was a surreal experience. The piano and brass instruments were insane.

Should have watched the live show playing this, and the words on screen. Wicked stuff man, One of the Greatest set of musicians in music.
Great seeing your reaction to a fantastic band and you have more tracks to listen to.
Discovered you two earlier this evening. You make me smile. More than happy to be a new sub.
Ils son ébloui par se son perfection bravo à eux d'écouter ça.
I had the privilege of seeing them live on this tour. They played the entire album with a rear projection screen. This was the last song they played. I was like 16 years old. I also saw the "Even in the Quitest Moments" tour and "Breakfast in America" tour.
If you like Crime of the Century you will love listening to every cut from Even in the Quietest Moments. Please explore it next!
Seeing this song finish a show with the visuals you leave feeling like you've been locked behind bars floating out in space for eternity.... it feels great.
Seeing them live back in the day was a wonderful experience. So glad you love them.
Pink Floyd, Led, Yes, Supertramp, Steely Dan, Genesis, Rush and the Stones are all in my room and sitting at my table! Nothing like the 70s for amazing music.

Crime Of The Century. Crisis What Crisis. Even In The Quietest Moments. Breakfast In America. All four are masterpieces.
Just a beautiful arrangement - perfect. Love your reactions guys keep it up.
Bro, I reacted the same way when I first heard this song... I was blown away 😳
Their live album Paris is one of the most underrated albums. You never hear it mentioned, but it's well worth a listen.
Like I always say if PF and SD had a baby it's name would be Supertramp!🔥🤘✌
You guys nailed it. From my teens, Supertramp is part of my soul. You feel it.
