2. I saw them live on the "Breakfast in America" tour...

they were awesome!! (Jean-Luc Ponty warmed up for them.)

[Joe Fields]

4. I love Jean Luc...Imaginary Voyage, and a lot more.

That would have kicked. I saw Supertramp prior to Breakfast in America. They were great, but I would have loved to see that tour.(I was stuck living out in the desert)

5. i really like Super tramp and my 12 year old daughter usually updates her ipod from my library

and some song just came out that samples Breakfast in america and she's all "OMG Mom, thats from Breakfast in America and all my friends think thats new"

[Joe Fields]

9. I love it! The old "new" things that kids discover!

:hi:

7. My favorite Supertramp song from my favorite Supertramp album, Crime of the Century

Hide in Your Shell

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s0SuYgxqIg

Hide in your shell cos the world is out to bleed you for a ride
What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or Hell, was the journey cold that gave you eyes of steel?
Shelter behind painting your mind and playing joker

(Too Frightening) to listen to a stranger
(Too Beautiful) to put your pride in danger
(You're waiting for) someone to understand you
But you've got demons in your closet
And you're screaming out to stop it
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you scramble for

Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heart back and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know.

All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?

(Too Frightening) the fire's getting colder
(Too Beautiful) to think you're getting older
(You're looking for) someone to give an answer.
But what you see is just an illusion
You're surrounded by confusion
Saying life's begun to cheat you
Friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for

Don't let the tears linger on inside now
Cos it's sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost
To get your heart back and on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you
If I can help you, just let me know.

I wanna know...
I wanna know you...
Well let me know you
I wanna feel you
I wanna touch you
Please let me near you
Can you hear what I'm saying?
Well I'm hoping, I'm dreamin', I'm prayin'
I know what you're thinkin'
See what you're seein'
Never ever let yourself go

Hold yourself down, hold yourself down
Why d'ya hold yourself down?
Why don't you listen, you can
Trust me,
There's a place I know the way to
A place there is need to feel you
Feel that you're alone
Hear me
I know exactly what you're feelin'
cos all your troubles are whithin you
please begin to see that I'm just bleeding to
Love me, love you
Loving is the way to
Help me, help you
Why must we be so cool, oh so cool,?
Oh, we're such damn fools..

[Joe Fields]

11. Excellent choice from a most excellent album.

Crime of the Century blew me away the first time I heard it. Made me a Supertramp fan for life.

[darkstar]

10. I was in college when "Crime of the Century" came out

and it was the standard 'test drive' for hi-fi upgrades at the time, i.e. new amps, tables and speakers. State of the art recording for back then.

And hey, Joe Fields. Is your nickname derived from the band Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies? (Remember *that* record?) Been meaning to ask for some time now....

:hi:

[Joe Fields]

12. I wish I could say yes, but that's my real monicker.

You must be one of the very few who remember that.

[darkstar]

13. Well, I was the guy who ordered thai-sticks

in the restaurant--followed by an antacid chaser, IYR--so I guess that explains that.

[Joe Fields]

14. Oh god, how I remember that thread. A classic!

:toast:

And what would have been too much to handle, is if the waiter slipped one into your wonton soup, with a wink...

[Maestro]

15. I vividly remember listening to the "Logical Song"

on The Loop in Chicago in the late 70s and early 80s. Great group!
