Crime of the Century

[dataspank]

that can't be right...

[HonorTrees]

Very nice Mr. Thompson.

[celticgirl23]

Masterpiece, that's the word I was looking for, so much feeling, so soulful, if that's even a word this band really rocked my teens, wish they would give us something new

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@celticgirl23 I love this song but, The rest of the album is truly amazing too.

As is the album "Crises what crises" but, They kinda lost me when "Breakfast in America"

came out it was too commercial for me.

p.s. Have you ever listened to a band called the Water Boys?

Have a happy week and thanks for the comment, I`m adding stop by and chat anytime :)

[celticgirl23]

@GhostsInMyAttic I agree, Breakfast In America left a little to be desired. Haven't heard of the Water Boys, sorry haven't been on Utube for awhile and didn't see your message. You have a good weekend, talk to you later.  Love your user name, how'd you come w/ that?

[GhostsInMyAttic]

@celticgirl23 You have a good weekend also, I came up with my user name by trying to think of something different and it just came to me.

Peace =]

[gnr147]

One of the best prog rock song in the whole universe !!!!!!!!!

[smogonthetees1]

[smogonthetees1]

@smogonthetees1 well it was unique to me when i first heard it lol.

[supergormas]

Well thats given us something to think about....!

[GhostsInMyAttic]

Just Brilliant, I have no other words for this Masterpiece.

[celticgirl23]

@GhostsInMyAttic I so totally agree a masterpiece, i was looking for the right word and you nailed it, played this over and over when I first got the album

[TheRaceking56]

Very nice



[TheWurn2]

The whale video may have been done in the UK of course but I have never seen it.

[TheWurn2]

When I was in Australia in the 1970s someone overdubbed Crime Of The Century onto a video of whale hunting.Unbelievably powerfull thing to watch and the music fitted perfectly, has anyone got a copy to upload?

[raindogg49]

[PheonixFall]

This song is an unknown legend in the world of music.

[MrJoaoLOS]

Very small lyrics but such a deep meaning in this world of struggle

Supertramp predicted the future

[artzilla]

@MrJoaoLOS Easy prediction...it has been being predicted all through history.

[ripper7070]

One of greatest songs ever to be written.

[miteaus]

one of my favorite songs of all time

[adyj73]

Magnificent choice of song :-)

[TheBobski1972]

my mate Ambu loves this.

[Benji19921]

The world. And the "gradation" of shades of grey... Great video! Great music! One of the best bands ever..

[Nomoreincondemnation]

What a great song.  Love it but hadn't heard it for years! Thanks for posting..

[lucasns010]

@anabolicco breathe in the air... don't be afraid to care

[Brekner]

this song needs at least 10 mil more views..

[ghostwolf1111111]

@Brekner it had 10 mil more views until it got removed because of copyright on another video.

[MrBretowsky]

@Brekner português detected

[TheSilentman9]

@Brekner i'm working on it, gimme some time

[fetch53]

Yes the Crime is The Man in Power is the man in cantrol

[battman6s]

Supertramp. A bit of a forgotten band (they did write and play some C R A P as the years went on). But they had some genius music. Crime of the Century and Crisis What Crisis were awesome. I remember hearing School for the first time. An OMG moment!!!! Crime of the Century is one of the GREAT GREAT songs

[rleidolf1]

gotta laugh at all the comments....why don't you freaks get out of you mother's basement and appreciate what music is instead of trying to make a political statement. it has nothing to do with George Bush and the dimocraps authorized going to war.....guess you clowns will never get it but you never will..

I guess Stalin rules in your eyes

[markvanalphen]

Wow... Amazing! Great work, this definitely deserves far more views.

[ChicagoJan]

Well done. Thanks for sharing your work. A film like this, unfortunately, is unlikely to be appreciated by people who can't wrap their minds around how entire nations can be duped long enough and to such a degree as for this to be happening. Further, we each have to rip off our own masks and look at our own greed, our own lies, our own darkness. Otherwise, we'll march right back into where we are now. I hope you continue to work on films of truth and share them with our world. Thank you, truly.

[cj54car]

@ChicagoJan  "So very well said" .

[ChicagoJan]

@cj54car Thank you. I only wish I'd been awake to these things when I was younger. Actually, I think I was... but I allowed myself to be lulled to sleep by media, psychiatry, and all of my "peers" under their influence... until I too was "assimilated". It's like Invasion of the Body Snatchers ;-)

[BlutoUSN]

@MixCherokee

An excellent question...It does make a person think doesn't it.

[BlutoUSN]

Wow...

[weedmanus]

Well done - Excellent Video!

[clyde8her]

@MixCherokee Stupid question you git......

[octavio412]

esta música pode entrar para as melhores de todos os tempos.

[Dorkdotdan]

Holy Awesome. Liked, Favorited, +1'd and everything. Simply astonishing.

[jonoiskool]

Rip off the masks and let's see

[loog2759]

very cool!

[firesealman]

This song contains the first guitar solo ever to make an impression on me....still one of the most hair-raising solos I've ever heard.

[MrIndieguitar]

Best guitar solo!

[MetallicOpeth]

this song always hits me right in the heart

[reddog9401]

sign of the times? worst is yet yo come. to many people, to many problems

[2222isabella]

I've had the great pleasure of seeing this live many years ago, It will never loose its impact on people .... timeless ! Great video matching, too - especially in these days of new horror and violence ....!

[shiftjeenyus]

good work man, this video is great

[2011scottie]

Well DONE!

[joinedile]

soberbo !!obra de arte do super !

[2dogarage]

Excellent job, thanks so much it's been an adventure...

[islemakeurday]

i have been a musician for 50 years .. and i have to say that this tune and this album ranks in my top 10 of all time ... enjoy

[Umiale]

this band works together perfectly.They must have recorded on the dark side of the moon.

[mani5233]

good work ! thanks

[raindogg49]

1 of the best live concerts ive ever seen

[punkinbeavisadam]

brilliant

[pocketspy]

This was a most excellent rendering of Crime of The Century. I shall share it with my friends on Facebook. It may not be a nuclear apocalypse, it very well might be a financial one. But, the players are still the same. They are all working to control all mankind. And money is the best way to control people.

[hilvldruid]

pretty heavy.

[leopardi1030]

The reason for the current state of the Fukushima nuclear plant is that the government in Japan and the bureaucrat and the big enterprise mislead the public and the policy is promoted. Theme of this tune exactly

[MacCoco99]

Great work Alexander on this wonderful song by Supertramp. I just would like to point out that while your nuclear holocaust is appropriate to the words of this song, a beautiful adaptation of its spirit, the «Crime of the Century» is pollution. The main point of the song is to stop accusing THEM and see what we all are responsible. «Rip out the mask and let's see […] There's you and there's me.». With global warming facing us all, the message is just as powerful today. Thanks.

[horsemad1670]

Well posted ,sir. Very thought provoking .

[doyouliketowatch]

love this song, thanks for the upload

[Stadia2024]

sfreinckle - you are so right. Share a border with the USA - no belligerence.

[veufcliquot]

brilliant video adaptation of a great song, I remember Supertramp clising with this song in Montreal during their release of "fool's overture" and man it was one hell of a way to close a show, this song was so cool live.

[partyfok1]

nice vid!!

[antiquipaul]

Très bien cette vidéo very good video .

[freebyrd0816]

awesomeness this video is bad ass

[DuncanIdaho80fr]

awesome vid on an awesome song ... rly thrilling

[reg2450]

I still remember my music teacher in Year 7 playing this song (it was so cool). Talking about repetitive rhythms. Don't remember the teacher's name, but he played in Gallapagos Duck. Dam.... that was thirty years ago

[sfreincle]

You guys should think about what this world would be like if the other guys were in charge.

[artzilla]

@sfreincle What 'other guys'? Don't you realize that those in charge now are just as sociopathic as any one that could replace them. Power Corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely!

[MGP1960]

As long as we won...

[drive5050]

Very,very good job!!!

I've always liked Supertramp,this makes it even more enjoyable.

[anunadopted1]

Dito to all before, full marks.

[ralvarezguitar]

This is such a great band! back when they made real music.

[gaiadisidia]

Why does it stop at 2064?

[alko053]

rise of a new order of the ages

[rossrylance]

Nice work mate!

[toriinprogress]

I've had this video in my playlist for some time. I just watched it again minutes ago and must tell you that you're video captures the very essence of the song. Beautifully done!!! This song is one of many that belong to the genius' of Supertramp. I wish they were still playing their awesome music together <3 Peace...

[theSvarg]

wow! what a song!

[sunonthewindow]

Wonderful video! This has to be the best album of all time. I never get tired of listening to it and I do that pretty much daily. Pure musical heaven! I'm only 18, so to all those older fans, trust me, there are a few young people into the real stuff! A small number, but a number nonetheless. Rock on!

[Poupados]

@sunonthewindow i'm included there, since i'm 21 and listen to supertramp since 10

[theXofanny]

I've Got my Ticket for supertramp Show at Montréal bell center july 16th, For my dad birthday, i pay it :)

[teenwithforce4]

GREAT JOB, one of the best videos on Youtube, IMHO. Really, good job man.

[Canada369]

Amazing job!

[Poupados]

the drums at the beginning add so much tension to the song!

it's just amazing how some "simple" hits can work so damn good.

keeping it simple is the key to good drumming. no need to break the drums with huge fillings... listen to this, it's beautiful

[brjtny]

Excellently done!! This is my all time favorite Supertramp song. I am blown away by the the footage. Very nicely put together!!

[0bananaskin0]

Frighteningly prophetic... 

[gagn0338]

I must have watched this video 100 times over the past year, great video, even better song!

[zodiac0545]

I haven’t heard this song in years but I remember well the first time I heard it, must have been shortly after it was released,

My father had some kind of account with a record supplier and they would send each month some LPs (vinyl) this arrived by accident I think, the opening lines still make me shiver 30 odd yrs later,

Thanks for posting this, great vid too  made my day,

[HazerdLet]

3 people are dumb

[GforceMI1965]

Pure Class Album

[supergormas]

Well thats given us all something to think about. **** stars - excellent

[smilerman62]

Love this song..but wooo.the video blew me away! Whoever made this, be proud. Hopefully it's only going to be fiction, although i'm thinking this could happen in our lifetime!!!!!!

[kwelborn9121]

What a GREAT video, for an AWESOME song!!!!! Thank you for sharing!

[kwelborn9121]

What a GREAT video, for an AWESOME song!!!!! Thank you for sharing!

[yaboykraze]

reminds me of breathe by Fabolous

[underkyper]

Quite a powerful collection of clips here, goes well with the song. I enjoyed it thank you.

[ripper7070]

Im 21 and I can say with absloute honosty that this is the greatest song I have ever heard.

[LifeOfChords]

Amazing video!!! Two thumbs up!

[jromgar61]

Genial



[19Darshan63]

those were the days......

[JoanaMBA]

@ubrpier Me too...

[DHScherocha]

Such a great song. It really is timeless.

[VideoDisasters]

I have to say this is my Favourite Supertramp song just in front of Bloody well right.

[MrRamblinrose]

I'm now realising why I'm such a cynical bastard,, twas the music of my youth that made me think

[TheXxxHUSTLERxx]

Pure genius.. this is a classic song I was so fortunate to hear as kid.. made me appreciate really good music at a young age.. thats stuck with me to this day...

The video is excellent too... well done guys..

[StevRider]

Live in Paris version is ten times better :)

[dabycle]

i love the way it get in progress... it's just brilliant, wonderful song...

[magaha63]

wonderful

[chicknoodles1111]

chicknoodles Always loved this track and knew its significance then and now, piano the best!

[ifyouw]

This is a very fine job on a great song.

[WestiGirl]

Ok, I've been reading some of the comments on this video and I just have to say this: You people are wonderful!! You're so nice and polite, with such great taste in music and similar opinions to my own. This video has brought together a community of lovely people!

I love you all! :D

[bravicimo]

Every single nanosecond of this song is a moment of ecstasy

[kodieat]

brits know how to ROCK! what we can we say.

[TheSushidave]

iam lucky to have been around when this came out its been a part of my life, its history!

[D45TR1K3]

Very nice, good job finding the images.

[alexanderthompson]

@D45TR1K3 Just to point out, everything in the little video was original footage shot and edited etc by me! (except of course the twin towers etc) I'm very glad you like it.

[franciscocmatos]

AWESOME!!! i´ve listened to it for the first time this very morning and i couldnt get the song of my head! These drums are so intense

[foxyroxytm]

This song is so rich!

[BigSteinfeld]

I have to say I am not one who enjoys these types of videos. But, having said that, what you have done here is absolutely brilliant. The mix of music (by far one of my favourite songs) and the visuals you have it playing to, is excellent. Thank you for posting this. I thouroughly enjoyed watching.

[alexanderthompson]

@BigSteinfeld thanks very much for your comment! Much appreciated.

[moneyman784951623]

Nothing beats seeing them live back when they were really popular. I was lucky enough to see them perform in 1977 and 1983.

[toriinprogress]

@moneyman784951623 green, green with envy. A sin...I know but I am only a "Dreamer" wishing they would bury their shit and get on with the show...

[0bananaskin0]

Great stuff!

I agree with the comment below this...and the one below that one.

Simple truth, yet too complex to comprehend.

Ta very much!

[tteu123]

Such a beautiful song. It's my father's favourite.

[kodieat]

Crime of the Century should be right up there with "Dark Side Of The Moon". I know don't freak out, but its close!

[yogaman1919]

@kodieat i love pink floyd kodiest. and i would have to agree about putting crime of the century as being one of the top albums, right up there with the dark side of the moon.

[taxidude]

@kodieat It is for those of us of a certain age. We used to take the vynil albums to school with us!

[JHmusic4ever]

@kodieat Dark side of the moon is amazing.. but it's too different. It's good to hear people still know that album anyway

[diplord]

@kodieat agreed. :D

[leegeddyfan]

@kodieat no dude you're freaking right man this album is fuckin awesome and has so much that still reflects the ever growing problem with society and its lack of cogniscent skills to fix it

[BeautifulSashaBabii]

@kodieat BOTH SONGS SEND ME ON A JOURNEY...LOVE IT!!!

[bodiefisher]

nice video videographer..................­..but u need to listen to a little bit more of supertramp

[supergormas]

Powerful stuff. Thats given us all something to think about....!

[Charlychap]

@AlchemicGnosis in fact theres not difference lol

[MrChrissy1r]

Awesome I still have all of the original L.Ps on vynyl from when they came out.I saw two live concerts at Wembley I think, and was hooked permanently and have been ever since!Truly awesome band and absolutely timeless music,now at 60 yrs old their music still gives me goose bumps and brings tears to my eyes,and what`s even more tragic is that although I really do love all and I mean all music I have to say the crap put out today under the label of music,can not compare with very few exeptions.

[kodieat]

i agree with Brekner! One of the greatest bands of all time!

[rolfywolfy1]

Says it all doesn't it

[Brekner]

simply brilliant ....if you listen to it once, you won't be able to get it out of your head as long as you live.

[noneemac]

one of my top 3 fave rock tunes of all time.

[edergalodoido]

great song!

[MrAtalanter]

ça arrive tranquillement mais surement..

[TTROLDSKOOL]

In the "loop" Fantastic video to a truly great song!

[rafaewnroll]

LINDO

[Dannolgorski]

i like the video

is it too late?

seems like all we would need is a change of mind on a massive scale

is that too much to ask? seems like it :P

[Ogilla]

forget songs like this, there will never be good lyrics and music like this anymore, it is over. Humanity is over.

[khav11]

@Ogilla ya def. not the music in the days were the shit... now it sucks ass so much...as u said humanity is over
