Song #401: "Dreamer (Live)"--Supertramp (1980)

Coming off the wild success of their 1979 LP "Breakfast In America", which I proudly owned, Supertramp, the next year, released a live album, "Paris".

The group featured many of their greats from the seventies as the eighties dawned, and one of them outshined, in my view, its original version. This song debuted on their "Crime of The Century" release in 1974 and charted well in their homeland, the United Kingdom. Their record company opted to release the live version from "Paris" here in America in September of 1980, and it cracked the Top 20.

We'll hear a selection (or two?) from that "Breakfast In America" album down the road, but for now, enjoy this little ditty that brings us twenty percent of the way down our countdown road. 100 songs revealed, 400 songs to go! We'll post songs 400-500 tomorrow.  :)
