@@stavmgoo1575 you should listen to it a bit more xd. The Wurlitzer intro is the same as in the album. My guess is that they're playing back almost all instruments minus the vocals and the sax.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is just a tourist attraction, it isn’t anything mystical and it doesn’t hold any authority over music. It’s not a crime, nor is it a shame that Super Tramp told their publicist not to bother with donating money to get inducted the R&R Hall of Fame. It’s nothing to worry about at all.
I totally agree. People are too distracted now. How many people will actually put an album on in a dark room with headphones and listen to the whole thing?
@@Eleventhearlofmars so why are they not even in the r'n'r hall of fame? I said they're up there WITH the Beatles, Zeppelin, Floyd. Can you see this scenario in front of you?
@@220773 the r n r hall of fame is not the best way to judge what is good. For instance the likes of NWA and Madonna are in it. Bands like Yes and Rush should have been in decades and decades ago.
I think I was 14 years old when I was turned on to Crime of the Century by my best friends older brother. Went out and bought the album and when I got my driver's license I had to buy the 8-track so I could listen to it in my beater Chevy. What a phenomenal album.
@@rosskstar Wrong... Answer is YES A MIME A LIE NOT "unique" as said above Not to be gushed over... unless one is false themselves Those Pretending to be performing is something enjoyed by fools who cant recognize and treasure true human expression that only comes across with a live performance. Nothing benign or harmless to the individual who is in such a deluded lost condition. Calling on JESUS THE ALMIGHTY is the ONLY SOLUTION
The X-Ray effect goes on far too long (feels like MS figured out how to do it and wanted to show off a bit), but this is still one of the best live performances of this song that I've seen. Arrangements are spot on. Thanks!
Always loved that intro. The keys and then the break and it goes into the guitar with the wah-wah, brilliant. More music in the first minute and a half than some complete songs today.
I really used to love it when, on the radio late 1970s (or later), that great intro would come on. I knew the great song was on the air, that intro is all anticipation.
The musicianship in Supertramp was just ahead of time. Especially the keybaords and vocal talent of Rick Davies, check out how he calmly plays that white Wurlitzer electric piano! They don't make it like that anymore...
Used to have a pair of Radio Shack stereo headphones, with antennae sticking up either side, (kinda alien looking) would go out at lunch and get fiercely high. First hour after lunch was study hall, and I would get LOST in this song!
One full year in high school I had study hall after lunch. At lunch we could walk from school to a few businesses in town. We usually went to the pool hall. Plenty of places to fire up including behind the pool hall. Our time at lunch would occasionally last through two periods depending upon which teacher monitored study hall.😊
Supertramp from this era has held up very well in the time between then and now. And yes, they were not considered the best at the time. But they had some very good songs, memorable lyrics, interesting compositions that usually were multipart with big shifts, such as this one above. I rank them a lot higher in 2023 than I did in 1978-79.
@@seanoneil277The standards are so much lower now, even when the musicians are genuinely talented, their compositions are too derivitive to stand out, and when they do solo it's just a speed exercise with very little taste or feel
@@baronvonsuckitable 🤣 It's easy to see folks who are, say, 35 & older as never having enjoyed music as youngsters. For many it's like riding bicycles, by late teens early 20s they're abandoning the bike. Same with fervent music listening. But some folks still listen into their dotage. Me, I stopped actively following modern music about 15 yrs ago because too much autotune, too much crap overproduction, too much hype, and too much style / pose / posture over substance.
Best band of all time, ive heard stuff through all genres and all ages and nothing comes even close to the variety and innovative genius of Supertramps music. Ill always love them and obsess over them, i wish i could attend a concert but alas i was born in the early 2000s so im afraid i cant
So frickin good. I ❤ this channel. One thing though. I’ve noticed that sometimes it seems mixed with the studio version a little. Does anyone else notice this? Like a Frampton Comes Alive situation or something. You can really tell on the second verse of this song.
Awesome! Definitely my favorite one that Roger doesn't sing. I wonder why they chose to use the album instrumental and verses but went with a live lead vocal on the chorus? I don't think I've ever heard a band do that.
@@beaudure01 Yeah but what I'm talking about is a bit different. Normally, a band will either: Use the original album version completely and mime, use an alternate take and mime, use the instrumental and sing live over it, or on the rare occasion, play and sing live. What Supertramp is doing here on this is they are using the original album version with the original verses but, singing the choruses live. The choruses could be alt takes but i'm pretty sure they are just singing them live. Either way, I've never seen/heard a band do that.
Los efectos especiales al inicio de la canción parece un viaje de psicodelia 😂 pero fuera de broma este perfomance me encanta ojalá la pongan en mi funeral o en mi casamiento de lo contrario no me muero ni me caso jajaja
I know about the video effects,, but there is damage at the beginning with the visible scan lines, and glitching around the edges. The visual effects was a common thing back then, not the little white lines that are partially visible. Those appear during some tape being stuck (and he reason for baking the tapes)
From what I’m gathering, quite a few performances were backing tracks where the vocals were live, or some performances were completely mimed, however i believe they had more live performances than mimed
You are right I am wrong ,you can have while I have not! Life of Satisfaction of being Vulnerable and giving all I got. Aimed to Please! Because that's what The Buddha did for me! And Bloody well Right I want only to be happy, Happiness comes from having nothing and finally excepting sometimes you are wrong and it's only human not accepting your Faults but in Meditation and Wisdom you can calmly omit you are right or Wrong it must be thought out throughout
How in the world did this type of specific progressive rock make it on radio??? Definitely different tastes back then...just so tasty...they were a very unusual band...two distinct frontmen
I think that this is some form of a hybrid version of the song, some parts seem different from the studio recording, Rick's vocals are slightly different and John's sax parts are different. This is certainly different from an actual live performance of the song that in my view lost its grit when played live. The version on the Paris album and later recordings fall into that realm. They kept this version shorter and tighter.
I do believe only Rick's vocal and the ending sax solo is performed live. The rest is the recorded track. The Special had many artists simply sing over the recorded song.
the colorization effect at the verse was so utterly cheap - but totally blew my mind! We've got 50 years of innovation and there is still no replacement for creativity. Love this band and this song!
