Some great music. I guess now I’m going to have to get one of my CDs out and put the headphones on.
I knew Rick and his wife Sue, went over to thier house pretty regularly until they moved back to New York, gotta be 20 years now. He gave me a cd of his new album right before he moved, sat front row at Universal Amphitheater, backstage passes, big party afterwards... Had a lot of fun when they still lived here in SoCal.
The ,ast part of the song sounded a lot like an alice Cooper song I heard, bery similar beat and notes
Very Cool! This band, at that time was like some sort of cataclysmic talent miracle - obviously destined for the breakup.
I saw them live in Seattle at the Egyptian theater back in the mid 70s. At the time they were one of my favorite bands. I have all their albums as well as a couple of documentaries and concerts on dvd. Sadly it’s pretty low quality DVDs but the performers are always top notch.
Their musical repertoire was quite diverse. In a way I compare them to Pink Floyd and genesis.
Supertramp Breakfast In America Tour 1979
March 16, 1979 University Of Colorado Balch Fieldhouse, Boulder, CO
I was there! It was great! :)
I have the vinyl copy of this album. Great musicians
I was in France 1981, and some guy asked me if I liked “Suphair Trah”. I said, huh? It took about five times for him to slowing enunciate, “soo-pair-trah-m-pe”
I saw them at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin back in the day.
Great group.

Hodgson is an underrated guitarist.
For a short period in the early summer of 1979, Supertramp was quite possibly the greatest band in the world, riding high on the near perfect "Breakfast In America" album.
I wish I had been old enough to see Supertramp live.
IMO, the live version of “Dreamer” blows the studio version out of the water.
Thanks for posting.
You’re bloody well right
Amazing how this has flipped in 50 years. Imagine being a conservative student w/ liberal parents today.
