When the tour ended, Supertramp went to Los Angeles to record Crisis? What Crisis? However, the band did not become really popular in America until two years later, with the release of their fifth album Even In The Quietest Moments.
"Give a Little Bit" (Roger Hodgson), the album's first track with it's catchy acoustic guitar intro became an international hit, although not a major one.
