It's an embarrassment that this group is not in the Rock Hall. Crime of the Century is out of this world...
Still considered a ground breaking audiophile LP to this day.
Don't worry too much about the RRHOF. The place is basically Jann Wenner's ego trip. He refused to allow any kind of prog rock in for a very long time. I don't think he's still associated with it, so they have to catch up with all the groups he refused to consider.
It is the crime of TWO centuries that Supertramp are not in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Stupid, why them do not stay in Rock roll of fame ?
A travesty
One of the most unique sounding bands ever
yeah ! every one of them was a master on his instrument ! (Hodgson with both guitar ans piano) and John Helliwell to me was a killer on sax !!
No band compared to them back then.. I mean during the 70's.. I 'm fan of the Sones, Genesis, Fleetwood mac and others but Supertramp were the Best !!
Agree
Agreed. Very operatic in style.
You are bloody well right!
Essa banda era estilo Toto. Não tinha apenas 1 vocalista na banda, alguns se revezavam
God I can’t believe this album is almost 50 yrs old what a masterpiece !
Thank you for reminding me how old I am! Lol. I would not have it any other way. Cheer's!
can't believe i'm sixty 😂
Yup.
Ooof we got OLD 😂
45 and grew up on this music.
The 70's had so many fantastic bands.
There was so much emotion in the songs back then. And the songs would slowly build like waves on the beach
It's the last time mainstream artists were able to express themselves freely. Corporate put an end to that in the 80s.
its the single greatest decade of American music.
Listen to Leprous.@@nordicfrost
That glorious era when many bands were able to create unbeatable classics.
The one thing about Supertramp is they had a sound all their own, you could never confuse them with anyone else. I remember this album like it was yesterday, I loved the cover art and used to look at every detail of it while listening to the album. What a great time to be alive.
Son bandas que se esxtingueron no hay mas..un fenomeno..
You are spot on. Nuff said.
Sitting in front of the stereo on the carpet in your parents living room, being careful not to knock over your can of 7-UP. "I ALREADY DID TURN IT DOWN, MOM!!" sheesh...
Your bloody well right😊
This album was not only great music, it was coherent lyrics with incredible social commentary. I think it was their best work.
Played this song for my girlfriend when she was 18 as she was going through a rough time, the words just resonated to her current state of mind, she was blown away by the song and it still one of her favourite bands, we married 2 years later and still going strong for past 44 years.
Love it!!!
Bravo ❤
Me too, great to open up feeling you thought you never had.😊😊
Great story. Nice to know this song impacted others the way it did me. Started to think maybe there was something wrong with me after almost 50 years😊
Great romance!
Supertramp was probably one of the most underrated rock bands ever....
I guess we sometimes forget just how good Supertramp was! This will remind you!!
Well said!!
I never will, their music heard weekly in my collection. Just wish I could have seen them more times live.
Very underestimate group seen them at the Royal Albert Hall, several years ago. Absolutely brilliant😊😊
Well, some of you may have forgotton... 😜
The first four Supertramp albums are just phenomenal
Depends on what you define as the first 4. This was from the 3rd album of course.
@@DonMacGillivraythey’re probably going off of Spotify which doesn’t include the first 2 albums
@@spruce8611those first albums were interesting
@DonMacGillivray I'm guessing that he is probably referring to this as their first album, which for many people it was. Their first two albums didn't really dent the charts.
Agree 100%
Midnight Special, putting on the most amazing music and artists. I'm so grateful for watching this every Saturday night.This was a treat for my teenage years.
No light-show, no theatrics, just musical excellence.
Absolute MASTERPIECE, the drivel they churn out today In today's music is nothing short of criminal compared to what was made all those years ago in the 70,s It was very special
Both Rick and Roger crafted their songs so beautifully and the arrangement gave Bob and Doug room to drive them in the rhythm section and John to embellish with backing vocals and stunning sax solos.
Complete agree, the music today is just👹👹👹
Amen.
I went to see them several years ago at The Royal Albert Hall they were brilliant they all played different instruments and vocals. To days so called groups can hardly string 2 words together let alone write and sing songs.
I truly believe part of the “problem” with the young people today is they don’t have the music like we did. …was such a treat to see them live
Probably, the most underrated band ever.
Do you live in Canada?
They were very popular here.
hahahahaha underrated okay
In 1978, Crime of the Century was ranked 108th in The World Critic Lists, which recognised the 200 greatest albums of all time as voted for by notable rock critics and DJs.[
Omg that “word” again…😛
Where do you come up with your belief that the band is underrated?
This is pure gold, by a criminally underrated band.
Crazy this was written in 1974. Everything about this song is genius
Hard to imagine producers, managers, etc. letting a band play a 7-minute, emotionally-fragile song on TV like that today - even if it was on at midnight. The sunshade looks like this was from the Crisis What Crisis promotion even though Hide in Your Shell was from Crime of the Century.
Crisis wasn't out yet -- they may not have even recorded it, as it was released five months after this aired. I love that they played a non-single on NBC of all places.
Uma banda extraordinária, até hoje emociona..
Fun to see Roger and Rick sitting next to each other.
Why ?
Fun to find out that the bassist in this band and the PGA President in Happy Gilmore had the same name: Doug Thompson.
This is the song that really got me hooked on Supertramp and Hodgson, I have been listening to all their music daily, almost exclusively, for 2 years now.
Boston had been my favorite band, but with my new found appreciation of Supertramp and Hodgson's solo work, Supertramp is the best ever.
There will never be an era of rock as great as the 70s
State of the Nation is the State of the Art -bill nelson 79
Started in the 60’s, then 🚀!!
70's and 80's were unbelievable and mesmerizing.
You are so right !
I’ve been listening to the LP albums & CDs of Supertramp since the mid 1970s, and I can safely attest to their music as being a pure and rare gem in the music industry. Thank you for sharing with us this masterpiece.
One of my friends was 18....and he went to see Supertramp at some Miami playhouse in 1975....3 days in a row....and he is still raving about they're performances all these years later❤❤❤❤😊
At around the same time,they did a show in Edmonton,Canada,one of the guys had a cold,we didn't notice it in his singing.Anyway they said hold on to your ticket stubs,we will come back in the fall for a FREE concert,and they did!Amazing and Uber talented
Absolutely brilliant! My favourite Supertramp song and it sounded just like the record. Just a shame Hodgson and Davies had their differences that could not be overcome.
It sound just like the record because it's a playback of the record with only lead vocals sung live.
Seems like that happens to a lot of great bands that break up. Their best work are the early albums.
É sonho de toda banda. Fazer sucesso,ganhar dinheiro e depois acabar.
@@nicktamer4969 Yeo. The saw is being "played" but no one is there playing it.
playback
I ❤❤ vocals and harmony. This Band is amazing. 😊
One of my fave bands of all time!
As a teenager I felt pretty darn lonely and started playing piano by ear … managed to learn most of their songs after literally hundreds of hours of trial and error (I don’t read music).
Im 60 yrs old (happy with a wonderful life) and get to play/sing often in front of people … it would not have happened without this amazing band to inspire me!!
That’s fantastic to hear my friend. Hearing this after so long makes me want to tune up the fender….Cheers….
Hey Mark, don't sweat it, as a bunch of the greatest musicians can't read music either. I can, but it doesn't bother me that a bunch of people who I sing with can't read it either.
I loved Bob's drumming on this song, so many changes and he grabs the right space at the right time.
And Doug's awesome bass skills aren't too bad either!
For me, having listened literally to thousands of popular music tracks in my 60 years here, the lyrics (together with the music) from 4:30 on, is amazingly spiritual and uplifting and emotional at the same time.
The "live" version on 'Paris' is even stronger I think.
Thank you, Supertramp, for these few heavenly minutes!
You're bloody well right...
@@k2k273 ...right, right...... 😇
Yes ! among all I've listened to during my "only"54 years of living, I consider This song, despite a few bunch of their others, as the best they did together, and one of th 10 best songs ever..
because of that perfect alchemy you talk about..
No, this is better.
@@kevinmcfarlane2752 You think.......
Hide In Your Shell is definitely one of the best Supertramp songs, and this performance, wow.
The term Classic Rock might have been conceived for this song.
Tunes within tunes, emotional pulls that just won’t let you go, it’s just so good.
Thank you for posting.

The whole album is a masterpiece.
Comparto tu apreciación, me pasa lo mismo con la canción Dont leave me Now . Ambas canciones son geniales!
These guys were greater than the sum of their parts. This was the real deal; no studio trickery, just pure talent on every front.
Five guys on that stage. Five guys made all of that music. Back in the day when I would play this song on my turntable I imagined an orchestra or at least many overdubs, but I now know that five expert musicians and singers did that. Amazing!
So true, I imagined the same thing,
Roger Hodgson is an even more amazing singer now. We’ve had the opportunity to see him live and it was beyond amazing. His band is fantastic and as I’ve said, his voice is stronger than ever. He still hits those high notes with gusto and perfect pitch. I hope to see him again.
Sublime !
Crime of the Century is one of the greatest albums ever.
As a teenager when it came out I must have played it almost daily and it never gets old
*Absolutely epic backing vocals come in at the **5:40** second mark as Roger is belting out the lead vocals.*
*Crime of the Century is a masterpiece.*
Supertramp has always been one of my favorites.
The Musicianship and Originality of SuperTramp is Extraordinary! An Underrated Band of the 70's!
Much like Racey and Smokie.
These guys were Super musicians and songwriting absolutely genius..a staple of the 70s
Lyrics are genius. Beautiful message
2024, still loving the midnight special
We saw Roger in 2020 at Mohican Sun, before the pandemic and he was top notch, still as great as ever.
i'm tellin ya seeing Supertramp Live in the 70's was as close to a life changing concert you could get, pure Bravo Performance's. All such talented people.
I saw them in concert back in 77 and was blown away.
Me too, at Wembley
Me in ‘78 can still picture them
Me too in Manchester 78 best concert I have ever been to.
The best progressive band ever. Please more of them 😊
The only word that pops into my head is … masterpiece! Rodger Hodgkins is so emotionally … and plaintively telling a story. He gets my rapt attention. God Bless you Rodger as your music has blessed my life
Paris is one of the best live albums ever - fabulous band!
listening since 1976........LOVE THEM
Music doesn't come much better than this...
I love this song!!!
This song has the most perfect transition from verse to chorus.
Pure, Pure Genius!!!
Quel chef d’œuvre ❤❤❤
One of the most underrated bands of the era
Awesome to see/hear Supertramp in such great quality. Hopefully the other song performed on this 1975 show, "Bloody Well Right" will be aired soon. Keep up the great work Midnight Special channel!
Hopefully, if they release the full episode.
they are using play back
@@julianbarreras4854yeah that disappoints me because supertramp were a fantastic live band so don’t know why they didn’t play totally live.
I never knew this appearance existed. Shame it's lipsynched, like the 1979 Goodbye Stranger Midnight Special video. They performed live for the BBC on multiple occasions but not here? Weird.
@@Cpayne30 I would not assume that it was taped in the US.
(:
Un groupe de légende… une grande époque
Love ❤Supertramp so much. Saw them in Concert 1983. Magnificent
Just fkng incredible. Roger not content to just lip sync (see Goodbye Stranger), but wanting to give a full, satisfying effort. I think he's also performing live on the Rhodes. Vive le Supertramp!
So true what you say but i think the drumming seems to be out of whack. Bob Siebenberg's drumming is glorious but you can tell that the studio recording is being played in unison with the band members.
they're more into Wurlitzer elec piano not the Rhodes.
The soundtrack of my teens. Love the almost orchestral arrangements. So layered. Genius stuff. A true Supergroup
I saw them play this in concert. It was epic. Fantastic band. Spectacular, amazing, brilliant.
This album was mind blowing.
Still one of my all time favorites Supertramp forever...❤
In many moments of darkness this song was a beam of light.
The entire strength and beautiful power of ST is Rick and Roger together . The first 5 records are untouchable 🎶☮
7
you mean last 5 records...first 2 didnt even make the charts....
I was very troubled as a young man and when I discovered Supertramp, I didn't feel so alone. This is the song that got me the most and it gave me great hope my life would turn out better. And it did Thank You Supertramp
Been there.
Lived that.
A good life now. Too.
Datz Goot 👍👍
Oh how I wish I could go back in time and relive this era.
What a stunning live performance❤
Over the years since this album came out, my favourite song has changed numerous times, dreamer, school, crime of the century, etc., but for the last 6-7 years this song has been my favourite.
True that!
Totally agree
This is definitely one of my favorite songs of Supertramp , it's simply a beautiful one!
A truly beautiful song.... it surely did help some lost and lonely souls who found a new dawn, love and happiness ...
Love the umbrella on the set. Homage to Crisis album cover.
Yes!
Actually I think the Crisis album cover was a homage to the stage set
I loved Supertramp and am so happy for this clip - can never listen to this song without crying, Never. Crime of the Century was the soundtrack of my teenage years. And yes, crying again. But music used to be soooo very good.
Le groupe que je n'ai jamais cessé d'écouter depuis le début.
The band I've never stopped listening to since the beginning.
This song and Crime of the century were my favorites when the LP appeared, excellent
Crime of the Century is iconic and for me is the music of my high school years. The song writing and musicianship is bare none top notch! I have also had the pleasure of seeing Rodger at Casino Nova Scotia, he still sounds great, and his is tight. ❤️
My favourite
*Saudades dos meus 18 anos....bons tempos. Meus amigos Lino & Sueli me apresentaram essa banda....!*
Being 15 when this song was created was a great luck
Truly amazing band. I saw them live in Edmonton in 1979 for their Canadian tour of "Breakfast In America" I've seen lots of live concerts but that one was by far the best.
I caught the same show in Cowtown...instant fan forever.
How lucky are we, that they all found each. Too brief. Too brief.
Amazing. Love Supertramp and this my favourite song by them.
My favorite song by them
Still have the album too
I just happened along this version by accident. I am so glad I did. I was transported back to when this album released. I remember buying a copy and listening to it for hours. Bitter sweet it is. Oh the memories.
They were great !
Remember seeing Supertramp in Stoke on Trent around 1975. Brilliant and probably my favourite Supertramp song
Mon adolescence ❤
This was the Midnight Special. Holy Shit!!!!!!!! I have so many fond memories of this time and hold Supertramp so dear to my heart.
it brings back good memories. A show i saw with them, Chris De Burgh was the opening act and he was such a smash that the band asked him to join them for a late encore with all the lights on because the crowd refused to leave...memorable in Montreal.
Such a killer cut
A true super group I still love their sound as much as I did as a young guy in the seventies, simply awesome ❤
One of their very best
Entre uma bateria e outra nos campeonatos de surf era o que ouvíamos 🌊
A masterpiece of a song from one of the greatest bands of the 70/80's. I'm very lucky to have seen them in concert and they were fantastic. Crime Of The Century one of the best albums made.
Very passionate performance! Love to see it.
If this song doesn't fill your heart with warmth then go get one. Where does one even begin to write lyrics on a person's sub conscious thoughts. Such a masterpiece. Thank you Roger and Supertramp.
These guys need to be in the RRHoF and unite for at least one more tour.
Rap made it into the Rock Hall before these guys. Let that sink in
Live at the Bataclan Paris is a must hear for everyone. Magnificent.
Crime of the century, Shame on you Hall of fame mobesters🏴❤️great music.
Thanks for posting this! What an unbelievable composition and huge sound, especially in the final chorus! One of my favorite songs of all time and so uplifting
I remember buying COTC on a trip to London with a friend when we were 15. 50 years on and still good friends. Brings back great memories.
great great song
Incredible live sound performance
Stunning. Thanks Midnight.
Love this song wrote my will it will be played as the curtain goes round me
