"THE LOGICAL SONG" - Supertramp (official video is a live performance)... you will get a better understanding of who they are, and the song will move you. P.S. it has some killer sax in it!! Great reaction as always! Peace and light...💞
The Logical Song, Take the Long Way Home, and Goodbye Stranger are all very good … as are others particularly from the Breakfast in America album, but I recommend Britt check them out in that order. I prefer the album versions over the live ones, though. Supertramp is very creative with sounds.
The entire Breakfast in America LP was a phenomenon. Everyone will recommend the Logical Song, but I highly suggest The Long Way Home, and particularly the finale, Child of Vision…goosebumps. Once you see that LP cover art you’ll see the significance of the orange juice in the version you have today.
Great reaction, Britt, thanks! As to the album art, it is indeed a compilation album. The cover art is actually a “compilation” of what I consider to be their two best albums, Crime of the century (the bars) and Breakfast in America (the hand holding the tray). If you check out the album art on those albums you’ll see where it comes from. Cheers!
Supertramp is one of the best production groups of all time. All the unique sounds all the horns all the harmony I saw them live and they absolutely blew my mind!
Such an underappreciated band. Another example of why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a complete joke with their exclusion. Lead singer Roger Hodgson has such a unique voice, never a doubt when he sings.
The fact Jethro Tull, Iron Maiden, Bad Company, The Doobie Brothers, Waren "Freaking" Zevon, Judas Priest, none of the 80 arena rock bands yet Link Wray, Nick Drake, Bobby Darin (Just to name a few) is a travesty against all man kind and Rock and Roll.
@@anthonyv1719 In that Hall of Fame every one is invited, but if you do Rock you're chances aren't good....explain that.

The album artwork is a composite of three of their album covers...the umbrella is from the cover of Crisis, What Crisis?, the bars are from the cover of Crime Of The Century, and the hand, platter and drink is from the cover of Breakfast In America. It is insanely brilliant and imaginative artwork, and cheerful and bright, as you noted.
Love Supertramp! While not as 'popular', I think 'Even in the quietest moments' is one of their best. It has a slow build & layering of instruments that is so satisfying. Would love to see you react to it as not many others have.
I think Even in the Quietest Moments is the Supertramp album I revisit even more than the others, great as they are. Probably my favourite Supertramp album actually. I find it feels more like an album listen than a collection of singles. Plus I absolutely love the close out with Fools Overture.
Supertramp is a massively underrated band and a rabbit hole worthy a deep dive into their amazing catalog. Their musicianship is outstanding, real quality writing and playing, and they were as good live as they were on their albums, which is hard to fathom. One of the very best groups of the 1970s.
Yes, this is from 1977. The Goo Goo Dolls did a good cover of this song back in 2004, which got a lot of air play around that time and used in TV commercials.
I had "Breakfast in America". Great album. "Crime of the Century" was, perhaps, the best engineered album of all time. Pick a tune from either one, you'll be happy.
Omigosh, you’ve never done any Supertramp!?! You must, must keep going down this road! The entire “Breakfast in America” album is fantastic, & that album cover is clever. Rodger Hudson is a genius, the arrangement, vocals, organ…harmonica & sax!😊
Take a look at the artwork on Supertramp's album titled Breakfast in America (also the name of a hit song for them) and you'll understand this artwork a bit more. Edited to add: on reflection, it's a combo of three covers: Breakfast in America, Crime of the Century, and Crisis? What Crisis? Fitting for a greatest hits album cover.
That whole Breakfast in America album was all so phenomenal. Check out a huge hit from that album, Bloody Well Right. The music and the arrangement, the playing, and the singing, oh my God, it's just fantastic. But the lyrics and the idea behind the song are really amazing as well.
Both of your first two sentences are correct, in that Breakfast is a great LP and Bloody Well Right is a great tune. The only thing is BWR is off of Crime of the Century, another fantastic album! Cheers,
The artwork comes from their first 3 albums: The bars come from their first album "Crime of the Century", where there were hands grabbing the bars, the umbrella with a drink came from the second album "Crisis? What Crisis?" where a guy is getting a suntan under a big orange and yellow umbrella listening to a radio and having a drink while the rest of the picture is a black and white industrial wasteland, and the hand with the drink came from the third album, "Breakfast In America", where a happy waitress is holding up a little plate with a glass of orange juice and holding a menu in the other hand. You should react to their song "School". It has a long, simple, fascinating intro, and just keeps building into a unique rocking song. There's a guy in the band who throws in a lot of extra woodwinds and percussion and other weird sounds that makes Supertramp very unique. I saw them in Spokane about 1975. The band Heart was supposed to open for them, but someone in Supertramp was sick, and they had to reschedule the concert, and Heart wasn't available then. I was Heartbroken, but Supertramp put on a much longer and great show.
There is a Huge Supertramp collection to discover… School, Logical Song, Crime of the century… great, great band. The album is a greatest hits album and is a combination of previous album covers, most specifically Breakfast in America and Crime of the Century.
Just pick any Supertramp song. But if you want to go down their greatest hits first, that's perfectly fine too. Or just go with Logical Song... Edit: that Album cover is a composite of a couple of their album's specifically "Crime of the Century" and "Breakfast in America"
This is a Rabbit Hole you are going to absolutely love going down!! One of the best bands EVER! They fully deserve every accolade that they get and yet possibly still underrated by most people. Just phenomenal music!
First time hearing Supertramp? OMG your in for a ride. Each album has a different "feel" to them. Mellow to progressive pop. This song comes from the album "Even in the Quietest Moments" which is an amazing album along with Crime of the Century, and Breakfast in America. Highly suggest "School" from Crime of the Century. ~enjoy 🙂
Hard to believe I had doubts whether this seemingly simplistic radio favorite from my high school days would still hold up for me. What I didn't realize is that it's not so simplistic after all. From the sax, which I didn't remember, to the swells that you noted, and other little details and nuances, this song still does it for me!
The album cover is a combination of their three most iconic album covers. The Barred window is from "Crime of the Century" The Waitresses' hand holding up the orange juice is from "Breakfast in America." The umbrella is from "Crisis? What Crisis?"
Love this song 😊 the 70s was the Golden age of Rock 😊 the cover says to me that someone is offering other person happiness to a person in a cage, saying come on, come with me, be happy 😊
The album art is artwork from their albums combined. The bars are from The Crime of the Century, The hand, saucer and glass of orange juice are from Breakfast in America and the yellow umbrella is from Even in the Quietest Moments.
I just discovered you. So far, this is the best video I have seen of yours. Your personality really shone through. This song has a lot of personal meaning for me. It takes me back to better times.
Their album: The Very Best Of SUPERTRAMP is one of my favorite compilation albums!!&! I actually knew more songs on it than I had realized! If you ever saw the Kristi McNichol / Tatum O'Neil movie: Little Darlings , then you've heard SUPERTRAMP before. They do have a few live in concert videos...
Enjoyed your reaction, Britt, and the song of course as well! Many people are suggesting reactions to the songs off Breakfast In America and Crime of the Century albums, and they are right as both are terrific! But this track is off Even In The Quietest Moments! I would suggest "School" should be your next Supertramp song followed by every song off Crime of the Century, followed by the songs of Crisis? What Crisis?, then Even In the Quietest Moments and then Breakfast. Each song is a treasure and I am pretty sure there are lots of live versions of their songs out there, and they were great live!
Love this song! It brings me back to high school days when I had my hair in a big monster red headed Afro, big belled sleeves on my shirts with pressed bell bottomed slacks and high healed shoes, strutting my stuff down the hall. Those were such fun times!
Any song with a sax in it gets my vote. Now I never listened to Supertramp in the 70's, only what I heard on FM radio, but now I am really enjoying them. Great music! I was a Dead Head in the 70's.
Regarding the artwork, two of their most successful albums were “Breakfast in America” and “Crime of the Century”. This artwork is a blend of the two album covers.
The art work comes from their "Crime of the Century " album and their "Breakfast in America" album. I still have both ALBUMS. Yes. Albums purchased in my youth.
Sometimes your volume is too low to really hear the music. I always hear you well, but the music is much softer. This is one of those occasions. Not all of your listeners use headphones. 💜
This song and, in part, the album cover is from the album Breakfast in America and it was an absolute beast of an album. There is nothing weak on the entire album.
This song is from the album before "Breakfast in America," titled "Even in the Quietest Moments." It wasn't nearly as much of a chart-topping juggernaut as "Breakfast in America," but it's a great album, definitely worth hearing in full, in its own right. Sometimes, I even prefer it over "BIA."
Well, Breakfast In America was a tremendous album. My two personal favorite Supertramp songs are Goodbye Stranger and Breakfast In America, the latter of which has a good live video from late 70’s showing the band off really well.
Regarding the cover: the bars are from the Crime of the Century album cover, and the hand holding the juice glass is from the Breakfast in America album. However, Give A Little Bit is from Even In the Quietest Moments. "Crime..." is (not surprisingly) a dark album. "Even..." and "Breakfast..." are much lighter.
Besides their great music, Supertramp had great album covers. Crisis What Crisis is my favorite. The greatest hits cover was a blending of at least two previous albums.
Hey Brit, the album art incorporates the graphic from Supertramp's two most iconic albums, "Crime of the Century" from 1974 with the jail bars in outer space with a man's hands trying to escape, and "Breakfast in America" from 1979 with a woman waitress acting as the Statue of Liberty serving a plate of food off the coast of Manhattan, as seen from the inside of an airplane window. Supertramp was incredibly creative with their album art and their music. It's a journey of beatiful orchestration. They were, simply, BRILLIANT!
If this is the only Supertramp you've heard you're missing so...... much more. Like, "The Logical Song", Breakfast in America", "Dreamer", "Take the Long Way Home", "Bloody Well Right", "Goodbye Stranger" & many more.
Britt, their song "The Long Way Home" might be said to be the "flip side" of this song's messaging. The instrumentation & vocals are fantastic on that. The best version is from the Live in Paris 1979 concert. Definitely should be your next dive into Supertramp.
When it comes to Supertramp, the whole Breakfast in America album is great. I personally love their Crime of the Century album. Take a journey back to their song "School ". You'll find it interesting.
Supertramp was my first concert, with my parents. I was 11 and it was 1981. They were huge, but I was there for the opening band which was the Fixx. Anyway, I always wondered why Supertramp didn't go on to create dozens of more hits. Hmm. If you haven't checked out the Fixx you could start with, Red Sky's at Night. That being said, we were here for Supertramp, and I would recommend listening to the logical song.❤
The cover art comes from 3 different albums - Breakfast In America (the arm holding the serving tray) , Crime Of The Century (the window bars) and Crisis , What Crisis ? (the umbrella in the orange juice). If i'm right the songs on this best of collection are also from those 3 albums. Might be wrong though.
For some reason I always think this is an REO Speedwagon song. Very fun feel to the song, though. Take the Long Way Home is great, too. Supertramp feels like the love child of Little Feat and Steely Dan.
Oh, yes, you must listen to The Logical song. It's powerful. The words are incredibly relevant to today. The Long Way Home is another fantastic song with some profound lines.
Britt, sometimes you get the realy nice things from the strangest sources. Like a friendly hand serving you a nice and delicious cocktail from a prison cell? Elmar f.G.
Britt, check out their Crime of the Century album which is excellent! The songs tell a story and they are meant to be listened to in order. I'm thrilled that you love them. They are one of the very best and are incredible live!
I just found you and I think you are as cute as a button and are very open to genres and articulate and not bash bash bash! Love you and glad I found you, even though you're a baby. Coming from old school 1972. 😇
