As well produced as it is, it's not their best album though. Crime and Quietest Moments are their best.....BIA is good but not a patch on the two aforementioned albums. I would add that the Brother Where You Bound album is actually, IMO, their best produced album. Superb SQ!
I'm a grumpy old man, it is near impossible to get me to to smile or laugh. ...But no matter what kind of day I've had...This guy has me in a better mood and smiling or even laughing. With all the negativity in the world right now, thanks Jamel for doin watch you do.
I'm not old but I can be grumpy at times especially with the negativity in our society we have in the world nowadays I don't smile or laugh most of time like I used to be but listening to music always give me a smile onto my face sometimes :)
This. Just realizing that there's a real, open, ready to try great music young man out there truly helps me. and great sense of humor and i know the music is always top notch
Live your life that runs out so fast. Please live! Enjoy every moment in armony with yourself and who you love. Perhaps love is the only way in which life will seem not too fast. I wish all the best.
It's just a damn good album. I love every track. "Just Another Nervous Wreck" is my favorite, but dammit, every song on it deserves a listen or twenty. They hit the nail on the head and put the hammer straight through the wood.
jeannie jane I agree. I was 16 when this came out and my girlfriend and I listened to this album endlessly, plus all the other great music of the time.
"Some they do and some they don't, And some you just can't tell. Some they will and some they won't, And some it's just as well." - best lyric ever!!!!
Dude, Supertramp is very easily one of my favorite bands, and I'm only 31 years old. My dad had _Breakfast in America_ and I used to listen to the entire album on repeat. Not a single track on that album can be skipped; every damn song is great.
33 here, so we're about the same age. I remember digging through my dad's records and having no idea what I was looking at or for. Probably just picked the album cover and tossed it on the record player. Breakfast in America was one I also had on repeat. This one and anything by CSNY (or CSN, or CN, or S or Y alone or, etc, you know).
Some they will and some they won’t... and some it’s just as well. That line always cracked me up! 😂 Again, Supertramp is one of, if not the most, underrated bands of the 70’s
breakfast in America won the 1980 grammy for best recording package. so they loved the look of the album art too. this is one of my favorite albums start to finish, it's a winner.
Your face when he hits the high note is like a kid opening a present on Christmas and being happily surprised. And then the way you just start groovin' to it... I LOVE watching your reactions. Pure joy!!! 💙💙💙💙💙
Two more Supertramp songs with long guitar solo/outros: " Lover Boy, and " Waiting So Long. All written by Rick Davies, who, ironically, DOESN'T play guitar
Always think of my brother when I hear Supertramp. He used to play this song and emphasize "Goodbye Mary" when he wanted to get me out of his room. Fooled him because I used to sit outside his door and enjoy this song, and the others. 😁
Just heard it this afternoon on Sirius XM - great groove - agree Also - need to check out Fire - Crazy World of Arthur Brown ( 1968 ). Was shocking at the time and it’s a super cool one hit wonder. Was #1 in the U.K. and Canada , reached #2 in America ( Hey Jude held #1 ).
RacingGuy61 and I know people who met them and are successful and fulfilled and all that. What’s your point? Also I feel that we have a very different definition of what a loser is, but whatever
Loved this song since I was a child of the 70s. In the 70s Mary Jane was a slang term for Dope. Maybe it still is...don't know. I've always wondered if goodbye Mary goodbye Jane was saying goodbye to Marijuana. Has anyone else ever thought this.
Their best album for sure. I was in basic training in the Army whenever was big. Every song was a hit. I grew up in the 70’s and I thank the creator for dropping me off there for this education I now have.
Some of other songs with catchy tunes Sanford Townsend band - Smoke From a Distant Fire Looking Glass - Brandy You're a Fine Girl Steven Stills - Love the One You're With
This reminds me of a road trip from Chicago to L.A. three of us, women, in our early 20’s in 1979 and we played this album the whole way. Never got tired of it!
Love the whole song but that end part is a total eargasm. Interesting sidenotes, the cover of the album is from the view out of an airplane window. If you hold the album cover up to a mirror you'll see the U And P above the Twin Towers looks just like 911, a bizarre coincidence.
Supertramp has some of the best album covers out there. "Indelibly Stamped" is another good cover art but "Crisis? What Crisis?" is just perfect for 2020.
Supertramp was always a group I listened to, but never paid much attention. Thanks to you, I listened with the lyrics in front of me & appreciate them so much more all these years later. Great band! Thanks!
After 40-something years it just occurred to me that the waitress holding up the tray with orange juice and the menu resembles the Statue of Liberty! Breakfast in America?
@@ashyclaret Please stop spreading this stupid conspiracy theory. "They" did *not* plant hints of the 9/11 attacks in the cover art of an album from 1979. Where the hell do people get these crazy ideas?
Beatles' Oh Darling...? Nah, try Why Don't Ee Do It in the Road? first... That's like a precursor to Oh! Darling. Paul was just rocking da F out of those two rock gems.
"Some they do & some they don't & some you just can't tell... Some they will & some they won't... *and some, it's just as well...* It cracked me up back then & still does
This is a special song for me, the memory of a long lost friend. Love the line, "sweet devotion is not for me, just give me motion, set me free". I like that when you pause, you go back a little. Thanks for that! Watching your videos is a not so guilty pleasure
I spent 5 weeks touring Germany with a high school group in 1979, with this tape on repeat in our bus. Became the soundtrack of our trip and to this day I’m immediately transported back whenever I hear it.
I had Breakfast in America on 8-Track back in the early 80's when I was in my twenties. I'm now 61 and still remember the lyrics to all the songs on that album. You never forget the important things do you. 🎸
I love the hits from supertramp I remember when I was a kid in Mexico n had no idea of what they sayin at that time now I live in texas n I kind of understand everything
There are two song writing geniuses in that band and each has his own distinct sound. It's what made Supertramp so great. When they separated and Roger released. In the eye of the storm and Rick went on to release Brother where you bound with Supertramp the two different sounds where very noticeable but both brilliant.
Btw, Rick Davies is the main keyboard player and WOW CAN HE WHALE!!! His solo (REALLY LONG SOLO) on CHILD OF VISION is some of the best piano I’ve heard in Rock n Roll! Sax at the end by Helliwell is haunting as well, great message in that song!
Jamal, PLEASE go back to ELO just for one more, "Can't Get t Out of My Head." It's a ballad, you'll love it. And again, please please do the Las Vegas video of the Flaming Lips "Do You Realize?" It's fantastic!
I meant to add that the waitress woman holding the orange juice on the cover of "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp, Kate Murtagh, is still alive at age 95 (pictured as "Libby").
I was listening to Mr. Jamel through COVID, was a light in the darkness. I bought this album when I was maybe 12. 40 years ago. Since then I took up music as my hobby. Seeing it again through his eyes has brought a new appreciation.
Dreamer was also excellent. Thank you again for lighting an old memory up. The smells the feelings and that sadness of a time passed and still remembered.
