Those moments you look at eachother with eyes wide open as something musically epic happens! Magic :)

[@rubentullenaar2934]

I miss those times where I was magically surprised by musically epic moments in music. It does not happen in todays music.

[@tonyfleck3029]

I agree! But 50years later the Old stuff still hits the same way?!!!..........

[@melvinwomack3717]

​@@rubentullenaar2934 it really doesn't, but this is definitely a high Bar

[@heatherpratt3867]

It’s why we keep coming back 😉

[@cousmaster]

One of the great ROCK OPERA SONGS.....Aja by SteelyDan.....Cheat the Hangman by the Doobie Brothers

[@Sp33gan]

So cool to see you guys hearing all the little nuances Supertramp brings to the table. As great as their most commercially successful album Breakfast In America, is, the real Supertramp is what's to be found on the Crime Of The Century and Even In The Quietest Moments albums. Two masterpieces that rank amongst the best of the decade and beyond.

[@EclecticInstinct]

Totally agree!

[@coolzip683]

I totally agree as well. We don't want to snub the "Crisis? What Crisis?" Album. It has great songs on it as well.

[@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER.]

@@coolzip683 HELL YEAH,Another man's women,worthy of volume 11.

[@perrylindsay6682]

​@@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER.another mans woman, that grand piano 👌

[@blanetalk]

@@CHAUNCEY.GARDNER. - Yeah, that piano solo at the end rips! And while I like the live version, when you introduce this song to someone, never cheat them of the experience of hearing the studio version FIRST!

[@Ibanezed210]

When it comes to music some of us were spoiled, very spoiled.

[@mikenave2696]

Very true statement, @lbanesed210, Attending their concerts back in the '70s and seeing how their level of musicianship along with a full stage width screen playing video that matched the story of each song created a fully immersive experience. Headphones are a must for Supertramp.

[@msamelienp]

Rudy's on a train to nowhere. The guitar is imitating the train sound on the track. Perfect mix or Rick and Roger's vocals. It's good live too.

[@jerrysarno2853]

This is by far their best album!

[@bringmebepo727]

I agree its their best album, not by far though! Breakfast in America and Crisis? What Crisis? are superb albums

[@justineapril7922]

Luckily, I saw Supertramp in 1975 and 77. "Rudy" sounded like the studio performance! What a band!!!

[@tedthonn3026]

Steely Dan, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac...It's all about the musicality. A time when every kid had to take band. That evolves into great music.

[@blanetalk]

This is one of those tracks that is so well mixed it used to be a favorite for audiophiles to test potential stereo purchases in stores.

[@michaelbaucom4019]

This Supertramp fan's favorite Supertramp song. Lyrically, this speaks to everyone. Who hasn't needed more " time " or felt "the whole world's above him " at some point in life? And pure fire musically. The live version from the live album " Paris " is here on KZbin, a different energy, plus the video shows them in concert...while they're playing, a video of a train is being shown behind them. Quite the feat in the 1970s

[@Montang2007]

Yess

[@patrickwilder6492]

The extraordinary part is that they played it to the letter “Live”... a totally mind blowing experience I’ve had the great fortune of witnessing several times in their heyday. ❤❤❤

[@69fogdog]

I was blessed to see them 16 times in concert and they were all amazing. Loved the video they used fro Rudy as it made you feel like you were on that train.

[@lesblatnyak5947]

​@@69fogdogwent to highschool with John Helliwell's cousin in highschool, she looked just like him she also played the French Horn

[@69fogdog]

@@lesblatnyak5947 that's awesome! John was one of my favorite band members for sure. Great talent!

[@martinellis7156]

Some groups just seem to have too much talent - this is a favourite amongst a whole bunch of amazing Supertramp songs. The inspiration, the composition, the piano, the orchestra, the vocals, the bass, all create a unique sound that I have loved for 50 years. Fantastic album, a classic of prog..

[@anahatatutu]

As Sp33gan said below, this is the "real Supertramp" They were a prog art rock group before they were a pop group. Crime Of The Century is one of the best-sounding, best-written, best-produced records you will find. We had music with DYNAMICS in the 70s! There is much written about how that has gone away and today most commercial music is flatter [loud but flatter] and has less in the way of peaks and valleys. Spend your thousands on home audio if you really love music.

[@mrnobody9104]

This album is absolutely worthy of a reaction. Huge part of my musical education.

[@emilymartinez6961]

YES!!FINALLY!!!! now after "Rudy" listen to "School" and then "Crime of the Century", then l'll be happy 🤗 Good morning fellows ✌️

[@Ozzpot]

One of my favourite tracks from one of my favourite albums. Supertramp are one of those "if you know, you know" bands. Somehow not quite household names, but they should be. Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America are masterpieces, museum quality albums. Supertramp, like many of the greatest artists, are not constrained by genre, but I like the think of them, in the best way possible, as Prog Pop.

[@dsomerville5293]

Even in the Quietest Moments is dope too

[@robertrosello1964]

An album, like many of the greats, that should be listened to from beginning to end, no interruption. Pure musical brilliance

[@donaldcoe5699]

The Crime of the Century Album, in my opinion, is a true masterpiece. I taped it off the midnight album hour, before it became available in the stores. Fell in love with it immediately. Have listened to it faithfully for 49 years, and it never disappoints. The album is a vinyl must for you. Add to your Christmas list for one another. Thanks for sharing your reaction.

[@brendawoodson3230]

You are right Super Tramp is a band not to be messed with

[@russrollins9978]

Excellent reaction! Their song, Fool's Overture, takes you on a similar journey. It's from their album, Even in the Quietest Moments, which doesn't get nearly enough love.

[@dsomerville5293]

Agreed. Three masterpiece albums

[@PaulHVAC1]

I remember when this album came out....as you say "It was Dope"... it was!!

[@vittoriomammone6369]

Bravi ragazzi ! Buona musica . Vera musica . supertramp 👏❤️

[@rk41gator]

Love how SuperTramp can "slap us aside the head". And they do it so well.

[@entertain402]

i was a teenager listening to, amongst so many other great bands, led zep being my favourite, this song..... but not having heard this song in DECADES, I followed it carefully, as if it was just yesterday since i heard it, and remembered what the many changes were in the song...anticipating each one before it happened.........that is how well our ears were trained in those days, being surrounded by SO MANY GREATS!!!!!!!

[@6916dog]

Amazing how the brain/memory remembers things like that. 20 years since I heard this and I am waiting for each change-up.

[@realityfuze42]

Crime of the Century was the second album I owned (after Dark Side of the Moon) - I grew up in a great time in music!

[@user-qr9zs7hs6b]

Two of my firsts as well. That and Trick of the Tail

[@rickmts]

One of the best things about Supertramp was their SOUND!!! Their albums were sonic masterpieces, but if you were lucky enough to hear them live, OMG!!

[@jjbluml]

I'm so glad you reviewed this album.... one of the best. The entire album tells a story which is and was so fun with concept albums.

[@craigmarkowski7156]

I really enjoy watching you guys react to Supertramp ! It's awesome watching younger generations than myself get to experience and witness their musical talent ! Rick and Roger were genius to say the least ! These guys have been my favorite for 45 + years !

[@loisr3970]

Yes boy s now here we go!!! Perfect mornin cut!!!!

[@melvinwomack3717]

I had that same feeling I said to myself boy this one is going to blow them away 😅 @AirplayBeats

[@hklinker]

Saw the 1979 tour stop in Vancouver. For Rudy, they used footage of an accelerating train very effectively! The somewhat recent remaster of this album is well worth the money. The dynamic range is tremendous.

[@cherylwoodward]

I make a 3 hour trip to my daughter’s house frequently and this is one of the albums I put on and listen to from start to finish to make the ride enjoyable. I just sit back and let the music take me there.

[@glenncooper9898]

Y’all keep playing that music, y’all head going to explode!!! Another rabbit hole. Very underrated…..

[@angelo9725]

One of the best produced albums of its time… I always thought of this as a concept album and should be listened to from beginning to end.

[@MarkJones-mn6uy]

Exactly. AOR (Album Oriented Rock) was creatively and carefully produced so that each song, and their transitions, created a whole work that added up to something much greater than the sum of it’s individual parts!

[@fonkenful]

Couldn’t agree more, I was a big Floyd fan back in the day as well. In addition to Crime, the other album I always considered sacrilegious to break into segments was Wish You Were Here. Was ever much of a live concert goer in those years, due to the generally awful sound at most venues, but did manage to catch Supertamp at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver BC in ‘75, I think, and it definitely spoiled me.

[@lewallen86]

Absolutely

[@go234ko96ts5]

Anything by Supertramp is a winning song. Breakfast in America is a number one album back from 1979. The Logical Song and Take the Long Way Home my all time Favorites.

[@DariaBilowus]

Love finding someone who loves Supertramp as much as I do.

[@glengarrison3441]

The signature is always Supertramp, each and every song provokes an emotional reaction …….with the first question” What just happened?”

[@lucasroth7922]

A buddy of mine lived as a self subscribed music critic. Took him to Supertramp show. They played Rudy, I looked at him and he couldn't clap, cheer! Nothing lol! He was in awe lol!🔥🤘✌

[@francesthompson593]

Supertramp sound exactly the same in Concert. A very talented Group.

[@membysteph64]

Fantastic review gentleman. This band is full of multi talented musicians. The layers of composition and soul is amazing. Absolutely need to check out Bloody Well Right, Crime Of The Century and School. If you liked Rudy you will be amazed by these two. Keep up the phenomenal job guy’s love what your doing.

[@geofit2193]

I totally haven’t heard this song before. I’ve only heard the usual radio tunes. Thank you for sharing this tune. You so helped open my ears to some more Supertramp talent 👍🏻🎧🎹🎸

[@joebrown5120]

The entire album is all killer, no filler.

[@willblood7082]

This is “Art Rock” which was/is a sub-genre of rock/progressive rock and influences or was/is influenced by genres such as classic rock, experimental music, avant-garde music, classical music, and jazz.

[@jimmoore8951]

This would be a great band to be in the studio with to watch their creative process… the chord changes divided among different instruments, importing unique sounds, finalizing the mix, etc.

[@WilliamJones-sf5pt]

In painting, there is a criticism that students will be afraid of their reflections and shadows. In music, the same is true pertaining to utilizing the lower keys. That's all Rick Davies who loved to choo-choo!

[@rayeckert242]

Whole album. Absolute masterpiece. That’s the story.

[@realbser1956]

For music of this caliber to be made and for record companies to be willing to put it out there, that’s something that we’ll never see again. Your Supertramp reactions are great. ✌️

[@69fogdog]

It makes me ecstatic that you guys are getting into Supertramp. They are one of my all time favorite bands/ I hope you stay with this Crime of the Century album as every song on it is amazing. Hope you react to School and Hide In Your Shell next. Love you guys!

[@brianemmanuelgrey9276]

Great reaction. Nobody has done, "Hide In Your Shell", you have to have the lyrics for a first time listen though.

[@dolfinpt]

Woot! Supertramp!! As above-Crime of the Century, Even in the Quietest Moments and Breakfast in America!!! Memories of Growing up with a Big Stereo set up(😉), and being high school -parents not home and Volume is UP! Rocking the House!❤❤❤😊

Listening again to your Supertramp reactions and looking for one word to describe how each song has its own identity. Che, thanks for naming it! You said "Rudy" took you on a "journey" and I found the word I was looking for. Every song takes you to its own destination with its own unique scenery and vibe. Bring on some more Supertramp and thanks, as always, for the love and regard you give your reaction playlist!

[@GinMae]

Thanks, guys! This is such a beautiful song... and one of my favorites by Supertramp...(they are so talented instrumentally - and well-balanced).. always enjoy your reactions...

[@midnightrambler7716]

Crime of the Century is their best album IMO. Not a weak song on it. From the consistency of quality of all the songs to the quality of the production and engineering. Especially for how long ago it was recorded. It was not as popular as Breakfast in America, but I have listened to it far more over the years. This album is worthy of an entire album review. That being said, I am a fan of deep tracks and Just Another Nervous Wreck off Breakfast in America is worth a listen. To me it would have fit nicely on this album.

[@arianza2]

Yes ... Crime of century is their best album ...

[@cindyrussell2028]

[@bobdelp2023]

THE TITLE TRACK IS AWESOME TOO LAH AND CHE ( CRIME OF THE CENTURY ) 😊

[@spyderdryverlee4581]

Much of this great album was recorded at Trident Studios and made use of their infamous Bechstein piano. This instrument has a folklore all of it's own. It was used and favoured by Queen, Elton John, Carly Simon ... the list goes on. Trident also had one of the most musical sounding desks too, put to good use by Ken Scott. I have this album on A&M "Audio Master Plus" CD which reportedly used the best quality and least used masters available.

[@EessaTube]

I see you're wearing a T-Shirt with Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali on it. I met Ali in 1986 at his room at The Dorchester Hotel in London. Then, I went with him to the Bruno v Witherspoon fight at Wembley Stadium. Incredible guy.

[@kellydelay18]

Crime of the century title track is epic

[@Montang2007]

Another Rick Davis song. His songs are characterized by unusual piano chords, he usually repeats the parts 3 times instead of 2 and he is a genius at the keyboard. He complements perfectly with Roger Hodgson, who is a global musician, he plays almost all the instruments and his songs are very commercial. In Rick's songs, Roger puts his point on the guitar.

[@jailnurse]

That whole album is amazing

[@glennburch1081]

R&R HOF...... what the hell r u thinking?? Biggest snub in history! Great reaction guys, TY.

[@hjones451]

They used to sing this with a racing train backdrop - Hodgson and Davies used to 'bounce off each other' vocally - it was epic entertainment for a few years, then a big bust up! At least I have those memories and my CD's - You may like to follow this up with 'Another Man's Woman' 10cc also had a great option in their live show if you need extra suggestions.

[@loisr3970]

[@MrDeadstu]

Supertramp, THE masters of dynamics and this song is one of my favorites. They don't get enough recognition. With respect to the lyrics in the left ear, I believe it is supposed to represent the singers "inner voice" or guilty conscience. You guys would probably love one of their epic songs "Fool's Overture" or "Brother Where You Bound?" Their mixing and recording is so good, their LP's sound like CD's, no shit, try it some time.
