God this brings me back to elementary school and the memories flood back. Wasn't so bad being a kid in the 70s. Might not have been so good for my parents, but I didn't know shit back then.

Love these guys, mind you, saw them in Hyde Park in London about 9 or 10 years ago and they couldn´t give a damn about the whole thing, but most of the audience was pretty much in the same mood. For many years growing up in Venezuela, concert-goers (we´re talking slim pickings here in the 80s) were always tortured by pre-gig announcers with the never fulfilled promise "...¡y el año que viene...Supertramp!..." (...and next year...Supertramp). It never happened, so I was pretty thrilled when I went to the gig in London, they opened well with School, but after that it went flat.

The basic concept is a 7 or 8, the Rhodes solo in the beginning and the Sax at the end make it easily a 9.

I LOVE the sound of a Rhodes; I wish it were more common.

This whole albums is one of my favourites ever and I never get tired of bopping to it.

This isn't progressive rock. Not even close.
That's what Dr. Venture said.

This song has always annoyed me to no end. Something about the endless repetition. It's right up there with Manfred Mann's Earth Band's version of "Blinded by the Light". (Never heard the Springsteen version, but this was clearly not his best songwriting.)

Love it. Love the whole record...
Guess it's the one, which had the most playing time in my player :-)
BTW, does anyone know their first album? Good stuff, far away from their commercial stuff!

By the way - the 'pop' famous stuff from Supertramp (Breakfast, Crime, etc) is only a small part of their work - Famous Last Words was a phenomenal album, but it doesnt' get much attention, and of course there's Even in the QUietest Moments.

Lastly - Look at some of Roger Hodgson's solo work. An incredibly talented pianist.

I have Roger Hodgson's album with "Had A Dream/Sleeping With the Enemy" - I use to do my workouts to it because it was pretty relentless and long. And you're right - VERY talented pianist and songwriter. Okay, I have to get me some Supertramp and Hodgson on CD now. {#Bananajumprope}

Played to death everywhere probably. Still brings back some very good and at time hazy memories.

Great song with Rick Davies singing the lead vocals.

I assume Davies/Hodgson had a Lennon/McCartney partnership, where the leads were sung by the main writer.

Proof that you can really rock out with keyboards.
