Supertramp

Post by nattiep »

Dougie Thomson on a fireglo 4001.
The sound is a little bad but I was suprised to see a Rick. Usually he played a Fender or a Musicman.

This song impresses me. 5 key changes. wow.

That was a great time for rock music, Frampton, Nugent, Yes, Gentle Giant, Starcastle, Kiss, Aerosmith,the list goes on. That Rick looked like a jetglo (on my puter) 4001 deluxe with grovers...possibly a '72-'73. Nice neck pickup tone in the soft mid sections. I agree, that iIve only seen them personally at concerts in that timeframe in Moncton, New Brunswick Colliseum with P-bass or Stingray, crime '74 thru breakfast '79.

I've never seen them live. It's interesting to see how meticulous they were in reproducing the album sounds live themselves in this footage, ie: the sax player & guitarist sharing synth duties.
