Supertramp Week!

Trollheart · 07-25-2015, 06:37 AM

Starting on Monday we'll be devoting the whole week to Supertramp, which will of course turn many of you off but may interest some who have not yet read the "What's happening on MB?" thread recently. If you want to take part, here's what's been claimed and what's available. Just post your interest if any.

SUPERTRAMP

Indelibly Stamped (1971) Trollheart

Crisis? What Crisis? (1975)

Even in the quietest moments (1977) Pet_Sounds

Breakfast in America (1979) Plankton

Famous Last Words (1982) Trollheart

Brother Where You Bound? (1985) OccultHawk

Free as a Bird (1987) Trollheart

Some Things Never Change (1997) Trollheart (Transposition of earlier review)

Damn! Would have loved to have done Crime of the Century.

OccultHawk · 07-25-2015, 09:11 AM

If you weren't too disappointed in my Beefheart work I'll do Brother...

Talk to Unknown Soldier; maybe he can be convinced to do another one, or maybe you can do it together.

I thought your TMR review was amazing! I'd love to hear your thoughts on Brother Where You Bound, as it's such a polarising album. I'll put you down for it.

I would just like to say as a older poster here I had the pleasure of seeing Supertramp in London Ontario on their very first Canadian Tour. They had a screen behind the band that projected a slow motion picture of their Crime Of The Century album cover that started out in space where you could not make it out and slowly got closer till you could see it. They playing the Crime Of The Century album song as the picture was shown.....
Canada embraced Supertramp much quicker then the USA. I also saw the Crisis What Crisis Tour and the lads had a umbrella perched on the stage to mimic the album cover. What struck me the most about the band is their songs played "live " sounded exactly like the album. Each time I saw the band the audience was getting bigger.
First tour London Arena a small venue that probably held 1500 people, second tour Kitchener Arena that held about 5000 third time CNE Toronto 22,000 .Yes they grew in popularity to say the least. These days there are music people that have not even heard of this band. They kind of get lost because they rarely get played on the radio......

You want to do an album? There are a few left...

Holy crap! I didn't think you were still around! How ya doin'?

You want to review an album?

Mr. Charlie · 07-27-2015, 05:41 PM

Hey Trollheart, I'm good thanks, but not much of a reviewer I'm afraid.

Trollheart · 07-28-2015, 06:12 AM

Since nobody else has stepped up (yet) I've pencilled in Indelibly Stamped and Free as a Bird, but if someone else wants to do them that's fine. If I'm pushed I can transplant my review of Some Things Never Change, though I'd rather see more people taking up reviews here than it just be all about me.

So, anyone wanna grasp the nettle?
