It includes an acoustic piano part! Recorded in 1978 at the Village Recorder studio (Los Angeles). Producers: Supertramp & Peter Henderson Musicians: Rick Davies
@@trampexperience Actually, now that I think about it, the opening lyric of Know Who You Are almost feels like a response, or an amendment to what he was saying in Hide In your Shell
Lovely. Didn't realize there were so many keyboard layers in this song (wurlitzer, synth, organ, piano, plus that wah'd keyboard or clavinet at the end)
I don't have an ARP Omni. I do have a Soviet clone version made in the Ukraine. If you're lucky enough to have an old divide-down string machine from the late 70s/early 80s....and the electronics skill to keep it working, then fire it up just to play these parts. Run it through your Dimension-D or RE-201.
Thank you Xandre ! At last, Supertramp deconstructed ! Never understood it was a piano part under the sax solo ! Were the Oberheim "chord" parts played by John rather than Rick ? And what about the clavinet part (but not sure though) in the chorus right after "for such a simple man" and "who I am" ? Wasn't it Rick ? Or maybe was it just an electric guitar... Anyway, great participation from Rick, especially the funky ending with the clavinet + whawha ;-)
And I'm not sure it's Rick on the piano part, it such Roger style ands touch ! Really sound like Take the long way Home or Don't Leave me now. I bet it is RH playing and not RD...
@@ubicom9928 hello, the piano solo had never noticed it and it also gives me the impression that it is Roger who plays it. From minute 2:05, which is where the final section of the song begins, I am in doubt as to whether it is a Clavinet played with some wah-wah type effect or if it is Roger playing his guitar with wah-wah. The central Oberheim sounds magnificent and the details of the Hammond are delightful ...., regards
@@progmeup Live Rick used the Clavinet but in the studio version I still have doubts. If you listen well to that section at times it has kinds of strums that are only done with guitar, impossible to do with a keyboard, it can even be the mix of both instruments ..
