Supertramp - School Reaction

In this video we're listening to Supertramp for our Friday Favourites series. We know a good amount of This band's hits. They saturated the radio stations. We decided to check out the rest of their songs, and the hits that didn't reach us. I think we're in for a good time. Enjoy!

Great…..a song from my childhood. My older brother played this album ! Hi from the Netherlands

[franckbizouard]

I adore this piano reprise at the end of the song, gorgeous groove!!!

[gbsailing]

This album is one of those few albums made - like Pink Floyd's Dark Side - that have to be listened to in their entirety. Every song on this album is a stellar piece of work and they all go so well together! If you can't react to them in order just listen to them in your own time together.

As a 15yr old got given a Supertramp cassette by a gf. Loved them ever since

School is one of my favorites off crime of the century

[paulc]

Saw them on the 'Crime of the Century' tour. Third on the bill on that tour was a then unknown solo artist named Chris de Burgh.
They opened their set with this, the harmonica intro was played in pitch dark.
'Crime of the Century' was the album that got them noticed, eight great tracks, but one of my favourites on it was 'Hide in Your Shell'

[brianbosecke]

Great reaction! Supertramp are so underrated, my suggestion for another great Supertramp track is 'Even In The Quietest Moments', one of my favourite tracks by them

[russrollins]

I would suggest Rudy, Crime of the Century, or Even in the Quietest Moments for your next dip into this amazing band's repertoire.

It's hard to believe not knowing this entire album.
First time I heard it when it first came out, we completely blew the new speakers at the tavern we took the album to - but no hard feelings because the owner didn't know either and would have played School at the same high volume we did. Good times.

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.

Saw them in 74 at Ford Auditorium in Detroit. They used to have $2 concerts during the week. My cousin had heard their previous album and talked us into going. We walked out of there in awe wondering why they were still playing these small venues. 2 months later they exploded. Saw them 2 more times but they were a victim of their own success as they were not getting along as after Breakfast they went too pop for me .

[SimonColey]

Sorry meant to say "From Now on" my suggestion..or Hide in your shell. Genius

[domr]

I suggest these 2 great Supertramp songs, Hide In Your Shell and Bloody Well Right.

[cyclops]

A wonderful band, you won't go wrong with anything of theirs!

[colrhodes]

I'm now self employed and I don't take a break at all because my busy times are when everyone wants to eat. That said, I love my new business
I'm with your daughter and her friends. They need to make their voices heard. The old system needs sweeping away.

[mattjohn]

Supertramp often reminds me of Pink Floyd. Vaguely. Like when there is sax and stuff. Like Us And Them

[violetflame]

First time listening to your reaction. Love Supertramp - certainly one of my top 5 bands all-time along with Rush, Yes, Steely Dan, Genesis.
Enjoyed your comments about schools - I was a teacher in California for many years and was always disgusted with the regimentation and total lack of teaching kids about individuality and creativity. Of course it's all a part of the dark agenda we're seeing so blatantly today, especially with the teaching of critical race theory and suggesting to 6-year-olds they can change their gender without parental consent. Thanks you two for talking truth.

[ghichens]

Great tune ! Fantastic Album ! Still have it on Vynal ! Just so listenable ! " Crime of the Century " This Album came out in 1974 ! Still sounds fresh !
Can you peeps give "Jethro Tull " a whirl at sometime ! "Minstral in the Gallery " or "Thick as a Brick " would be great ! Cheers !

Pink Floyd was all over that. I liked it very much but couldn't get the Pink Floyd sound from my head
