i saw an instruction vidoe to how to play 'Give a Litle Bit' on acustic guitar and even in the intro their are 4-5 chord changes and mood developemnts than most pop songs.

^ Paris, eh ?? Haven’t listened to it since the early ‘90’s. I thought it was way tooo strictly in line with the studio versions. Impressive, though not exciting from memory (and that’s pretty hazy on this one)

Hmmm. I like "Give a Little Bit" a lot (although couldn't vote it against Fool's Overture), but It's Raining Again is outright dreadful. Surely they're not on the same level (I'd be curious though whether it's just plain subjectivity or whether there are good reasons appealing to many why one is better than the other).

We shall never surrender!

Fools Overture.

The title track and Give a little bit are also excellent tunes.

Overall though this album is not a patch on COTC or BIA.

Fool's Overture over any other Supertramp song.

Fool's Overture, of course.

Great album--all songs were great in concert--but "Downstream" has this transcendent beauty that haunts me like few other songs--prog or otherwise. Plus, I can never get enough of those major seventh chords (as S-tramp used a lot of).
