ABSOLUTE BANGER!! Supertramp - School | REACTION

Crime of the Century & Crisis, What Crisis were Supertramp at their peak. Just sayin'

[@Divedown_25]

One of teh best albums in the 70s

[@scifimonkey3]

Flowers to the patrons for a brilliant choice

[@nachovendrell4591]

Supertramp is definitely the most criminally underrated band...

[@karagi101]

How are they underrated? They were #1 world wide for a while and top 10 over quite a few years.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

💯.

[@leddygee1896]

The "Average" listener when this came out was a lot more discerning than the "Average" listener of today. This is true music art... not the cut and paste Pro Tools fakery that exists today. I was 15 years old when this came out, and I knew it was pure greatness then!

[@davidhuggan6315]

I'm nearly 50 years old but I don't agree with comments like this but only because I've found loads and loads of new bands making amazing music, and using real instruments. Many are inspired by 70s and 80s bands, and they are superb. Now pop music was always made for 13-23 year olds, but other music has always been good, and continues to be in 2024.

[@richardpare3538]

@@davidhuggan6315 I'm 70, and grew up with the phenominal ( and mediocre) bands of the time, and listening to what even the "superb" groups put out today is like listening to the mediocre bands of decades ago, or they just sound like they are trying to recreate a certain band's sound. The great band, likeSuper'tramp, were unique in their style and sound, and were great at carving out their own place.

[@mariannevontrapp1063]

My first LP, 16 years 😂

I'm 56 now... I had all their albums in vynil at that time... lost them when everything started to move to digital... but this was, and is, one of the greatest prog rock bands of all the times... all up there with Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, Rush and the like...

[@hodaka07]

I was 9th grade this was always in the 8 track in high school

[@glennwalker5700]

When this came out, FM stations were available. That was the game changer

[@Karen_in_Canada]

Yup, bands like this and Pink Floyd is why FM became a success

[@michaelbriefs9764]

Can you believe that's from 1974?? OMG, what a great band!!

[@alanbeaumont4848]

'School' nails the British middle class state school experience of the mid 1970s, where school is a sausage machine and conformity is demanded and rewarded. It can be contrasted with 'The Logical Song' five years later, which looks as the private boarding school experience, which has its own traumas. 'School' is freshly resonant today as the current crop of politicians have rebuilt a very similar system, with even less wiggle room for the child who can't, or won't, fit in.

[@tessasnow]

I was about 14 when this came out and we went crazy for the whole album Crime of the Century🇨🇦🖖🏻

[@kesleycottrell1416]

Supertramp was a truly unique band. Nobody sounds like them. I think it's sometimes when they use jazz styling that is different. They definitely had interesting lyrics also. The absolutely should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame.

50 years later, and I am still addicted to this album and song.

Every song is great on this album, and they're all somewhat connected. Production is top notch

[@dunringill1747]

Crime of the Century is Supertramp's MASTERPIECE Album! From start to finish every song is an incredible journey. When songs blend together from one to the next so brilliantly, its a crime (of the century) to not let it just keep playing until the album is over.

[@jaumepiquebernaus1853]

[@Stefan_W69]

Absolutely correct

Half a hundred years old and still a cutting edge stunning quality production! Supertramp are simply incredible. Another great British band :)

They are the only band from the 70s who got close to Pink Floyd level production (in my opinion of course)

[@hakan8997]

[@SJCoug1]

Even though Breakfast in America spawned more radio hits, This album was their masterpiece and featured heavily on album oriented rock stations and the sample album at many stereo stores in the late 70s and 80s.

[@mikereimer1137]

I agree. I prefer Crime of the Century over Breakfast.

When that child screams to initiate the bass drop, I need to check myself. Nothing comparable!

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Exactly!.

[@GinMae]

thanks, Salvo - this happens to be my favorite by Supertramp.. with "Rudy" a close second.. Supertramp not only had "timing" but also amazing "balance" between instruments & vocals -- thanks for your reaction... (p.s. it was a "medium-hit" on radio)

[@rk41gator]

Can't go wrong with Supertramp. Loved to listen to them with my roommates back in the '70s. This band and Genesis held our attention. 'School' and 'The Logical Song' are my favs. Eccentrically groovy. "Layered" is a good description of their music, much like my favorite band, Genesis. Supertramp could drop into some funky grooves but you never knew where it would go.....except well.

[@mikechiarelli6895]

I too was in high school when this album came out. It was and is a masterpiece. The song school as well as most of the album received a lot of AirPlay on FM radio which was not confined to the more commercial mass consumption format of AM radio. The song, album & group were very popular in Canada. The pop hit from this album was Bloody Well Right. But every song is good to outstanding. School, Rudy and Dreamer stand out. Ha- they are all worth a listen.

[@douglasg.9271]

My favorite supertramp song!

[@jellyrollnorton]

I have a feeling you’re going to be blown away by "Rudy," too.

[@bobbolan4672]

Yep.

[@patrickwouters6568]

Yessssss!

[@helliewilliams2964]

I had friends that lived down a straight country road...they would have this pumping..the whole album..everyone loved it! Party time 1975!!!

[@Greg-bz2bf]

I was 17 in 1977 when I saw the 'Trampsters in Regina. Amazing concert with amazing video effects for this tune. Still fresh after all these years. Glad you discovered this band.

[@beabullfrankthetank5023]

Here's the thing about Supertamp, and about their 3rd album, Crime of the Century. You giving your reaction to their music, it's the same as mine when I first heard them back in 1973. They are DOPE. Some history: Back then there were high end stereo/audio stores. If you were a serious audiophile, these places were the only place you shopped for audio equipment. Each place had sound proof listening rooms where the store rep could activate exactly the turn table you wanted to hear, the speakers, amps, tuners, EQ's, ....everything by hitting switches. You could being in your own albums to play to hear the sound system you wanted to buy. If you didn't bring your own albums in, EVERY STORE had a selection of the best produced most technically perfect albums you could borrow in order to hear the equipment you were thinking of buying at its finest sound. These albums were the finest examples of sound perfection. The albums these stores always had in hand: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Steely Dan - Aja Supertramp - Crime of the Century

[@penelopehornswaggle102]

Magnolia...our favorite store back in the day. Spending all our $$ on stereo toys😅.

[@vieella389]

Supertramp has been one of my favorite bands since I was 15 in 1974. One of the best nights of my life was seeing them in Paris in 1977, fifth row, center.

[@AP-gb3eh]

We loved them but we were used to hearing the entire album as a piece of work,each song flowing into the next. Loved the build ups ,being teased by a great band is delicious. Great memory at 14 going into the city to see them. Amazing show💕 worth getting grounded for being 2 hours late for curfew. Mom never knew I had been in the city but it had to be done ☮️😊

[@antoniocunha8772]

[@phillipbarker4757]

This was one of my favorite songs in high school. Supertramp was one of my favorite bands.

Might I suggest their song Fool’s Overture? Love the band and have seen them play live. Love this album, though. I listen to it in its entirety regularly.

Wonderful album: every track a complete classic

[@brentcox7772]

Saw them in ‘80 Breakfast in America tour!! Piano riff is awesome in this song! One of the best musical concerts ever!🤘🔥

[@ptrlxc]

Now you're getting to know Supertramp you must try Fools Overture.

[@DocRock71]

For me, Supertramp is in my Top 6 greatest bands of all time, along with the Beatles, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd and Elton John. They were a unique musical experience, and no one has sounded like them, before or since. Their first 5 albums were musical masterpieces, from this album thru Famous Last Words. A true gem of a band.

[@lastpenny849]

All British bands...

[@dragon-shepherd]

Knowing your aversion to keyboards, I didn't know if you'd like this. (Ha ha) But seriously, it is good to see you get back to Supertramp. You still have so much of their material to experience. And again, it IS amusing knowing how you react to 'stuff', and knowing what is coning next as we watch / listen... Long live The 'Wait-a-Minute, What ??' Finger. 🎹🎹🎹 🎸🎸

My first Salvo video was his reaction to In The Air Tonight live. I immediately subbed. I knew what was going to happen when he said, "Where's he going?" 😁

[@mike98024]

Finally someone else that knows 'Uncertain Smile"! Great catch- one song with 3 pianos and the other had 4 going. You just never see that!

Personally Speaking, Crime Of The Century Is Their Best Album! Maybe Not For Radio Hit's But, Most Definitely For Variety, Story Telling & Production.. Thinking You'll Really Enjoy The Album..

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

We all had the album back then.

[@magicbrownie1357]

One of the vibiest songs they ever did. Love this one!

[@jamierobson8825]

One of the greatest songs on one of the greatest albums of all time. Fun fact: My first rock concert ever was these guys in 1979 - mind blown.

[@johnpbh]

You asked if it was commercial at all.... Well I can only speak for Britain, but at the time you were always hearing a track or two from this album on the radio... and as for album sales... It was one of "those" albums... you know, the one that everyone seemed to buy... Keep on Rocking.

[@adamelliott18]

From my experience/perspective Supertramp were very well received commercially. The scope of commercial music was wider back the but Supertramp carved out their niche pretty quick.

[@vieella389]

I worked in a record store from 1976 off and on till 1986. We sold MANY Supertramp albums. Music lovers are music lovers, no matter the year.

[@rodb9275]

Never heard this one before. AWESOME! Especially with headphones on. Thanks for doing this

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Love this album and what a great song. I really hope I can see your reaction to Bloody Well Right here. I tried to mention it whenever I can and it's rare to see a reaction to it. Yet it was on the radio all the time when I was a little kid and even now as much as I love Breakfast in America, I think I still like this album better and I really think Bloody well right is my first or second favorite song of theirs.

[@reborndaughter445]

Their best album imho and my very fave song! It's a bit darker than their albums. So glad you're doing the whole album. It really must be listened to like this. A big thank you Salvo, enjoy!

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

🔊🔊🔊🎛️ When my then-boyfriend, now ex-husband, picked up this album when it first came out, we were invited by a fellow tavern owner in the area to come over and play it on his new stereo system. We let him put it on the turntable and select the volume (well...none of us Knew...) And when that opening crescendo hit - the speakers blew. In just a musical moment in time, he needed another pair of speakers. 😅 Easy to look back and laugh now but we were horrified at the time, especially cuz we couldn't listen to the rest of the album! 😢😅 🔊🔊🔊😮

[@Tdub0911]

Best Supertramp song, in my opinion, by far.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

❤️

[@Tdub0911]

Yeah, I was seven or eight and my dad had it. Maybe not my favorite at the time but that's the one that stuck for me and I think it's better than their "popular" stuff. If you sit quietly, close your eyes and listen it is an awesome ride.

[@mightyV444]

I'd first heard this song in '84, when I was 14 and after my Sister had gotten a 'Best of Supertramp' LP for her Birthday from our Mum. We went on a family holiday trip to the Netherlands soon after, with that LP transferred to tape and becoming that awesome holiday's soundtrack. And particularly 'School' takes me right back there whenever I hear it 😊

[@loisr3970]

Dam Momma here. 70's It was everywhere. Jr high we had a gym teacher who played it on the PA in school yard last day of school. We had a play list. This then Another brick in the wall Floyd, Alice Cooper Schools out for summer. Crime of the century one of the best albums of all time. Hard to believe its 50 yrs old. That they accomplished this then. Great reaction love someome experiencing this awesomeness . Cheers

Supertramp , so so good. Great reaction.

[@jaumepiquebernaus1853]

Thanks to start reaction to the full album and love you honest reaction, Congratulations. It would be interesting if someone also reacted and analyzed the covers themselves, some authentic works of art, like the one for Crime of the Century, are so interesting and amazing. More than once bought the album because it was spectacular of the drawing, photo or composition of the covers. Great artists done those art pieces. Keep on rocking

[@penelopehornswaggle102]

You should do the entire "Breakfast in America" album. It's more on the pop side, but it's really good. School is one of my favorites by Supertramp. I can't pick just one. I first heard Supertramp when I was 13 and have loved them since then. I'm so glad that you did this album... I bet you are, too. 😊

[@reba5679]

Loved this album. Must listen to album as a whole. We would lay on the couch in the dark with great headphones and just chill with the music. Those were the days without Netflix.

Super Tramp, 10CC and ELO were the backing track to my youth. And that was during the late 70's early 80's when we were spoiled for choice musically (Queen, Bowie, Bush, Gabriel)....

[@lastpenny849]

I love how Bands in this era took their time with their songs, didn't care if it had a 2 minute instrumental if it served the song. Great time and period for music.

[@MrSmartAlec]

Way back in the 70's when I had little money a fun friday night was making the rounds to the high end audio shops and checking out their sound rooms. Just about guarantee this LP was in every one of them. I wonder how many sets of pricey speakers were sold because of this song ? 🤣

[@scifimonkey3]

Looking forward to the release of the rest of your reactions to this album on YT (I hope that you will be doing that?) because there is not a disappointing track on it. Come to think of it it is hard to think of a disappointing Supertramp track on any album between this one and the split of Rodger and Rick.

[@ticnatz]

This tune is, to me, just the first third of what I consider one song. 'Bloody Well Right' & 'Hide in Your Shell' are the other 2 parts. They blended them together into one 17 minute song, IMHO. There are no gaps.

[@realitybytez]

one of my favorite songs on one of my favorite albums. you're right tho, this kind of song would not do well today with people's short attention spans.

[@joelliebler5690]

This album was more like progressive rock. A unique sound!You need to try songs such as Even In The Quietest Moments and Give a Bit

[@O_Towne_Bear]

Dude, the title track is a groovy headspace. No-one ever does it though.

[@Soundbrigade]

Some professionals mean that band where you had two great but conflicting songwriters made the best music. Supertramp was one such band, 10CC and Beatles two others and I can imagine there are many more. Got a rather late album - Some Things Never Change. A great album with Supertrampic music that still sounds very fresh and new and definitely evolved.

[@rickandgen]

You should really check out their last epic Brother Where You Bound. A true masterpiece written by Rick after Roger left, including David Gilmour on guitar. EPIC!!!!!

[@AliasMark69]

I have been fortunate enough to have seen Supertramp “The Tramp” Live 4 times. Their live shows are a spectacle and brilliant. Each member is a musical genius. Rick Davies is my favorite keyboards player and John Helliwell is favorite Sax player. He is a blast to watch live. The bass and drummer are awesome and Roger’s guitars are superb. The only live show I put above Supertramp is Pink Floyd, who I have seen 4 times.

[@gordonjenkins8171]
