AMAZING!| FIRST TIME HEARING Supertramp - Crime Of The Century REACTION

[@dunringill1747]

The entire "Crime Of The Century" album is a masterpiece.

[@taxidude]

In my mind, their best album.

[@stephanielight4161]

YES! Definitely a MASTERPIECE of an album!!!

[@Wa1kerBros4Ever]

Absolutely just sweeps you away

[@DariaBilowus]

"Hide In Your Shell" is one of my favourites.

[@TrailerBob]

Bloody well right.

[@MrPolleyr]

In 1973 I was 21 years old and I saw Supertramp do the entire “Crime of the Century” album live on stage and it changed me forever. I was in a rock band. We played Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, and all the top hits of the day, plus about a dozen of our own tunes. We were a big deal in our area and were scheduled to cut a demo with a major label…..then I saw Supertramp, heard Supertramp and experienced Supertramp….and I knew we would never be anywhere near that level of excellence. Eventually, two of the guys quit the band and we broke up. Over 50 years later, I do not regret a thing. Life moved on and wouldn’t change a thing. Supertramp is still #1 in my book, and nothing changes that.👍😎🎸🇨🇦

[@robk5159]

Think you maybe a little mixed up, Crime of the Century was released in 1974. Until 1975 they only toured outside of the UK once and that was in Germany.

[@timwhitnell7145]

You are 10 years older than me but I feel the same way about Supertramp. I just wished I had seen them in concert.

[@MrPolleyr]

@@robk5159 ….I (possibly) stand corrected. I will say this though. The concert they played, which myself and my entire band went to see at the Coliseum, in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada…..is not listed on any website I could find. I’m going out on a limb here but, I’m wondering if that concert was a “test case or dry run” for Supertramp’s management team and record label to determine the North American market, before launching a full blown tour. I was in the band from 1971 to 1977 and I know I saw them somewhere in the middle of those years, it had to be 1973-74, but why is there no mention of it online???

[@robk5159]

Sorry I can't help, both Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies recall playing New Brunswick for the first time in July 1979 (Hodgson also played their solo on his brief time away from the group) it's funny how time plays tricks on the mind. I don't wish to mar your memories of what clearly was a fantastic gig for you, I also apologise for being such a Supertramp nerd.

[@Fonpol68]

Ive known so many bands that split covers/originals. You get to a dozen songs and then it stalls. I had two guitarists that argued for an hour getting zero done. As an example, I'd go watch a friend's band at rehearsal. They'd start For Whom The Bell Tolls, which I was told was always a crowd favorite they'd always done. So I'm listening and the guitar solo (played by a childhood friend who I taught how to tune), wasn't even close. When I asked what the hell, he got all defensive. He had the tab in front of him, which I printed for him. About a month later, was invited back. Solo was %50 proper at best. I told him to just play the rhythm under the solo. At that point, I played the solo on bass, then quit the "band". Mic drop😂

[@vicrodriguez8344]

1975, I'm stationed in Spokane washington and this new band Supertramp was playing in a local gymnasium. They had an 8mm projector like it was from the school AV dept, it was on a tall wooden ladder projecting on a school screen. It was the album cover but it started with the hands on the bars far away, as the song went on the hands on the bars came closer, it was perfectly synced to this song. Years later I saw them in a big stadium and the video was played on a giant screen.

I went to high school in the 80s and we had some wicked concerts in the gym. Do high schools even do that now?

Breakfast in America may have sold more copies, but for me Crime of the Century will always be their magnum opus. It came out at a very pivotal time in my life, just after I went to a new boarding school in a place very far from home. It brings back vivid memories of that time.

Supertramp was always incredibly popular in Canada. Crime of the Century peaked at #4 in Canada and only #38 in the USA. The album was certified Diamond (1 million sales) in Canada and just Gold (500,000) in the US, an amazing feat when you figure that Canada has less people than the state of California.

[@hodaka07]

As a Canadian who was in high school when it came out we wore out the 8 track it was epic.

[@mikechiarelli6895]

I was in high school when this Masterpiece came out. Super popular in Canada- tons of AirPlay. Crime of the Century is The definitive Supertramp album & one of the best albums ever. Unparalleled musicianship & artistry. Pure music genius. I saw them in concert in 1980 in Toronto - they sounded like the studio recordings - brilliant! Check out Even in the Quietest Moments & Fools Overture!

[@Duh6666666]

Discovered this album when I was nine, a neighbor was playing it loud and I was mesmerized, I thanked him back then.

[@timwhitnell7145]

Thanks for playing this. Supertramp has been my favourite band since I was 12 in 1975 and they continue to be at the age of 61. Crime of the Century is my favourite album ever. You really should do an entire album reaction as the whole LP is classic. Hide In Your Shell was the most personal song for me by any group when I was a young shy teen. Asylum is a dark but honest song. Rudy is sad but has such an interesting arrangement. Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson are masters of storytelling while evoking emotions and imparting relevant social commentary about life, education, the class system and mental illness. Then there is the superior musicianship and sound production of their albums. You need to check out their second-best album, Even In The Quietest Moments. Fool's Overture is a masterpiece but the entire record id amazing especially Give A Little Bit, Babaji, Even In The Quietest Moments and my two favourites, From Now On and Lover Boy.

[@raymondohlsen5054]

Supertramp through headphones is absolutely the way to listen to this song and let’s face it all their albums.😎🍺☮️🇨🇦

[@PhantomGhostWriter47]

When I first saw Supertramp in concert back in the early 70's they were the 1st band to incorporate video in their show. At the crescendo of this song the entire stage shone blinding lights in your eyes so you momentarily couldn't see, when you refocused the entire stage was a projection of the universe with planets and stars and meteors wizzing through space to the music. In the far distance you could just make out something floating towards you , as the song got closer to the end you could make out it was the hands on the prison bars coming towards you eventually passing through the audience at the finale. Only concert I've ever been to where the end of a concert was meet with about 10 seconds of shear silence. The crowd was absolutely stunned sitting there wondering what the hell just happened. I bought tickets for the very next night. Incredible show.

[@rklrkl64]

This band were so big in the 70s/80s that I was shocked when a female colleague said I couldn't use the word Supertramp because it's "inappropriate" 😂 Methinks she needs to expand her Spotify searches (yes, she has Spotify)...

You're right, it's a masterpiece & one of my faves. Can't go wrong with ST!

[@KenRoerden]

That's how you end an album. Crime Of The Century was the first that most of us heard from Supertramp, especially in the US. Perfect front to back just like the three that followed, Crisis What Crisis?, Even In The Quietest Moments and Breakfast In America. That is 35 songs total. I'm sure you will get to the rest of them eventually. Wish you could listen to entire albums like we did when they came out. A lot of them are concept albums that need to be experienced as a whole.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

In concert, there would be a giant screen behind the band and as they played you would have the stars of the universe glowing on it. At the break, when the piano starts repeating that phrase, a distant glow would get closer/bigger until the drum roll and it flipped over to reveal the hands and bars from the album cover.

[@kevdupuis]

5 months later, I was on my first ship a destroyer escort when I first heard Crime of the Century, a messmate brought a few of his albums for the training cruise and we pretty much wore this record out by the end of the three months at sea. I've been a Supertramp fan since.

[@tristanoleary7595]

I remember in Grade 11 in 1997 we had to report on a song and the meaning behind. I told my English teacher I was doing Supertramp. And he was like “Oh, the Logical Song”. I’m like nah teach, Hide in Your Shell. Please react to this one RSR Fam! It’s special

[@jrox6091]

This is one of my husband's favorite songs & albums. (As I'm writing this he comes in & says, "Supertramp!" 😊) The piano riff is iconic & played by lead singer Roger Hodgson. Hubby loves to tell about when he was playing that riff in concert and a female fan ran past the security, climbed onto the stage and leapt onto him with her arms wrapped around his torso & neck, kissing on him.😚 Hodgson never missed a note, just kept playing while about 6 security guards pulled her off. And the audience laughed and applauded her efforts! 😅 Crime of the Century was their masterpiece album. And what bada$$ cover art. Be blessed ❤

I saw Supertramp live in 1974 when that album was released. It was a favourite in our house and remains a favourite in our family to this day. I saw them again when they released Breakfast in America. It really is the backing track of my life for the late 70s early 80s for me

[@roadkill7314]

When I was young, we had all this great music but a lot of us still appreciated the great music that came before; the 60's, 50's, and even some from the 40's. But for some reason, it seems like the rap/hip hop generations never did that at all. Maybe they were exposed a tiny bit because of music their parents listened too but not much. So many of them seem completely ignorant of the music that preceded rap. My favorite thing watching young reactors is seeing them discover so much great music that they never had any idea existed and would probably never have heard of if they didn't have a reaction channel. Whatever motivated you to start your channels I'm glad you did; you'll keep this great music going when us oldsters are all gone!

Listen to those massive drums - how were they recorded with just *microphones* - ?? and if they're so huge, why aren't they drowning out everything else? Staggering.

This is the title cut off the album that made them famous. Two of Supertramp's members evenly shared singing duties. Their voices couldn't be less alike. Crime...is sung by Rick Davies. Whereas the first song on the album, School which you reacted to a year ago(!) is a Roger Hodgson song. Jay, the harmonica closing here, is a tip of the hat to the harmonica that opens the album. The second song Hide In Your Shell sung by Roger is a MUST LISTEN to!

[@chrispeek8412]

One of the first albums I ever owned was Supertramp's 'Breakfast In America'( on cassette tape). It seemed I was the only one in school who liked them. The super popular bands were Styx, Journey & Foreigner.

[@stevegirard-voiceaudiopodcasts]

So, this is Exhibit #1 from those of us who feel that Supertramp is what happens when Pink Floyd and Elton John have a musical Baby! Sometimes they’re so deep and dark… sometimes they’re so light and flippant… and often those traits are all mixed together in some tunes. That’s also why many of us feel that Supertramp may have had the best string of 4 albums ever: Crisis, What Crisis?… Crime of the Century… Breakfast in America… & Even in the Quietest Moments. Just amazing! Often I get sad for you guys… one of my biggest joys has always been putting on a great album and listening to the whole thing in one sitting… and I wish you guys could experience that with some of these artists. I mean, though in my younger days, we heard songs on the radio which propelled us to go out and buy the album - when we took it home, you know darn well we were putting it on the turntable or 8-track player and listening all the way through while looking at the lyrics!! I realize that’s never the norm now for this era, and I’m sick over it. My other reactor friends Nick&Lex partially solved this reactor-centric problem by reacting to entire albums - at least classic albums like Aja, et al… one song at a time in order… so then they could have the pleasure of then listening to all of it at once in private. I know with 3 little ones, it’s hard to find the time for that kind of listening, but I wish that for you guys down the road! Best to all you Robs!

Saw them in '77 on their 'Even In The Quietest Moments' tour. During the long instrumental outro of this song, the big screen behind them came back to life, showing the stars from the 'Crime Of The Century' album cover. We were moving through them, like watching the view screen on the bridge of the starship Enterprise. Then, way in the distance, but slowly getting closer and bigger, was something that you couldn't quite make out at first, but was vaguely familiar. As it got closer, you realized it was the hands grasping the bars from the album cover. As the crowd began to realize this, they started whooping and cheering. Eventually it filled the whole screen, and then moved past. The song ended, the band walked off the stage, and it was time for some encores. Wow.

This is a remastered version. Growing up a big Supertramp fan, I'm used to the original version. For a reaction video I would normally say to start with the original, but I kind of like thiis mix. It gives a fresh sound. The harmonica at the end of this song (last cut off the album) brings you back full circle to the first song of the album (School) which started off with the same harmonica chord.

This is power of this track is magnified when listened to as the last track on the Crime of the Century album, the way it just fades out is a sublime end to the album. Back in the day this was when albums were just not a collection of hit singles but were meant to be listened to from start to finish as a complete story, of the best albums ever.

When you look up " how to close an album , this is the first entry. This was also their usual concert finale, a slightly different vibe(synths instead of strings), but, still fantastic
