People don't understand how Crime of the Century was supposed to be Supertramp's concept of heavy metal. Not over the top cream puffery. The volume of this song was supposed to be pumped up while, just as high pitched as Roger Hodgson vocals tended to be on the album, the profound and deep bass and percussion on it balanced him out perfectly. Crime of the Century was a masterpiece as it served as a dramatic crossroads where Black Sabbath (Rick D.) collided with Michael Jackson (Roger H.).

I've loved Supertramp since I first heard the album Crime of the Century. It wasn't untill the bands split that I realized the vast majority of my favorite songs were by Roger Hodgson. I just love the way his songs start out like a slow locamotive train and then build faster and louder until they reach a crescendo and then he slowly and gently drops you back off at your stop where you thank him for the wonderful trip. Peace.

[MisterNifty]

@makingsense53 Don't underestimate Rick D. He wasn't the one found to be a match for Roger H., but just the opposite was true. Rick was every bit as incredible and I didn't realize that until Roger left. Rick made songs up on the spot. Roger had made up most of his songs by the time he was twelve. They both were best at backing up the other in support. As Roger plays that incredible guitar interlude in Crime of the Century, Rick plays the harmonica in the intro to School.

[makingsense53]

@MisterNifty I agree that Rick D and all the members of Supertramp were intregal parts of the whole. I always thought the argument about who was the more important Beatle - Lennon or McCartney was ridiculous, because what they both contributed made the songs better. Don't get me wrong I love these Roger Hodgsons solo videos with the orchestra, BUT I would much rather see and hear Suprtramp playing these songs together in harmony. Peace.

[MisterNifty]

@makingsense53 But this song was the surprising part of the album. Oh, the piano interlude on school was a bit on the light side sure, but the rest of the album are best described dark. When first listening to this song, I was at first fooled by a deeper false chorus and then surprised by the uplifting true chorus of it. This is where the song and ablum wins out ultimately. Listen to it again and give me your opinion. The songs cycle around forever while its departure point is at this song.

2 dislikes ?  I agree with Pickininvt

[Pickininvt]

There are 2 too many Rick Davies fans that have watched this video.

[yoursaxman]

what's with this audio? sounds like the mic mounted on the camera. is this an out-take? The other "Roger w/ Orch" vids sound awesome?

[cosolette]

45 ans.... toujours et encore.... et jusqu'à la fin.... joyeux noél à tous...

[MemoryOfMiles]

OMG - the audience just sit there and don't move.... I don't get it. I'd be falling off my chair!

[amodulares]

2 negative votes? Are you assholes?

[alalas66]

@amodulares yes, definitely they are!! maybe they are justin bieboring fans!

[Drabkey]

Roger Sahbi!

[dommarko42]

I have beautiful memories of this song is my favorite.

[jimbopta]

All I can say is thank you very much for sharing this with us.

[Mikebird59]

what a boring audience! I would be jumping up and down! I would be so excited. He IS Supertramp!

[Annie2220]

@Mikebird59 YES I would be singing at the top of my lungs!! Like I am now but I cannot sing.. at all...but I do LOVE to! lol

[lakefloor]

@Mikebird59 Yes that's the first thing I noticed! I just taped one of his concerts last week in front of an enthusiastic audience. Great song nevertheless!!!

[DLPBurke]

@Mikebird59 and you would ruin it for the rest of us.

[Mikebird59]

@DLPBurke well, no I would NOT if no one else were jumpin up and down, I DO have respect for others. If they all sit quietly, so would I.

[MrKnnknn]

@Mikebird59 This is exactly the type of audience he and other great musicians deserve, attentive, quiet, I've been to two Pink Floyd concerts, everyone was super quiet. It is actually more honorable to be quiet.

[mrbarleymob]

@Mikebird59 yeah and when you got home you would still not have seen and heard him in person...its like idiots who spend all the concert filming it on a mobile phone rather thanb watch it properly...just so they can post some shitty clip on youtube.

sit down, listen, stfu..... and go home and remember it...finding things to do while a musician is performing....well they are either shite performers...or you havent got a brain.

[Mielten]

Roger? - Simply the Best! His music is still magic!

[mknopfler38]

O Supertramp mais importante é um ex-Supertramp. Roger foi quem escreveu as peças mais importantes da banda. A Soapbox Opera e Hide in your Shell foram e são para mim as canções mais imponentes da discografia da banda se bem que Fool´s Overture, Scholl ou Crime in the century também sejam grandes canções. É dificil perceber porque é que hoje Roger não está com os Supertramp quando estes estão em digressão, quando Roger anda a dar concertos e a cantar as canções dos Supertramp.

[retaoposta]

Fantastic!

[markruku]

Hide in the Shell is a Classic Roger Hodgson song. I don't even think of supertramp with this song. I love your music Roger thanks for the great shows this year on your world tour. I hope we get another great DVD or CD soon.

[17beranger]

Pour moi c'est une des meilleurs de SUPERTRAMP..

[FUNDRIVER73]

very nice song... good version here!

[florasummers]

Beautiful orch version I love this song

[RogersGardenGateGang]

It was a wondeful show in Bonn. A great Orchestra from Hungary played from their heart with Roger. Only the drummer wasn't all the time present.
