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

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

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.

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.👍😎🎸🇨🇦

There really is no band to even compare with Supertramp. Each of their albums will definitely take you on a ride.

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

Jay & Amber, keep exploring this iconic masterpiece album! “Asylum” and “Hide in Your Shell” are other outstanding songs. But honestly, this entire album is worthy of an RSR Reaction! Enjoy!

In my almost 70 years , this band put on THE BEST live concert I have ever seen . CNE STADIUM TORONTO around 1979. Breakfast in America concert

Jay and Amber.... Please do Fool's Overture it is Supertramp's masterpiece

This is how you close one of the most amazing prog rock albums of the 70s.

Seeing them live, took you to another world. We would leave the venue in silence we were so blown away. Each album was a journey.

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

Amber & Jay, here are some other good Supertramp songs to react to: "Bloody Well Right", "Babaji", "Gone Hollywood", "Hide in Your Shell", and "If Everyone Was Listening".

this entire album is a masterpiece !

Wow!!!! Crime of The Century is one of the top ten albums of the decade. School and Bloody Well Right are where you start.

Every track on this album is cracking brilliant.........

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.

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.

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!

Hope Amber is feeling okay. Hate to see my little flower power hippie girl sad. Feel better Love❤️❤️❤️

This is the second video where Amber looks like shes been crying already before anything has been said or played. Hope shes doing ok!
