      Perfect reaction Brandon, it was a harmonica at the end man! Every instrument plays its part in the layers of melancholy & anger. This & Rudy are my favourite songs on this album of perfection. Thank you again sir, it's so good to hear the songs & see your blissed out visage 😊

    This is how you close an album folks. The closing harmonica is the same as the opening harmonica that appeared in " School " . Also, their traditional concert closer, a bit of a different feel live, synths instead of a string section, John Helliwell's sax solo soars live, Roger Hodgson's guitar has more urgency, Rick Davies' piano and vocals superb.
    Melancholy is the perfect word for this song, Rick Davies had a gift for expressing it

    In the " shadow " of Hodgson's popularity (and sometimes agressive management's work ) so many fans can not recognize how amazing Rick was. If Roger was the " melody " than Rick was the " energy and rhytme " and he also gave us beautiful melodies , just listen to From now on , Downstream , Goodby Stranger , My kind of lady ,and so on . Both songwriters were geniuses but in a very different style .

    Excellent closer for an album - while the whole album is fantastic, I think you've heard the best tracks already.(just my opinion). Speaking about album closers though, I think their Breakfast in America has their most epic closer in "Child of Vision".

    Its the keys and wind instruments that underpin the Supertramp sound. Sure there are great drums, superb orchestral arrangements and even guitar solos but no band features keys and and wind instruments in quite the same way. The incessant piano riff in this song burns its way into your soul as everything else swirls around it. Brilliant song from a brilliant album that sits proudly in my top ten of all time.

    Always been my favorite album, always hit personal & hard. I well recall rushing home with this, aged 19 & how this finale reduced me to uncontrollable tears. Now 70 it's forever been that way...utterly exhausted & defeated spiritually, sad beyond any normal sad.
    And now, all these years later, some young fella pops up out of nowhere to explain to me exactly what it is that's floored me each & every time....`It felt like all of humanity was mourning through music`
    That's kinda shockingly insightful...bless ya!

    Great, great song. Awesome reaction Brandon. As for more Supertramp, I again highly recommend the song “Brother Where You Bound “. It’s a 16+ minute masterpiece! You can’t go wrong with Rick Davies banging out the vocals and piano, amazing saxophone by John Helliwell and the guitar solos are done by no other than David Gilmour. At the time (1985), this was Supertramps’ longest song to date.

    I have been fortunate enough to have seen Supertramp “The Tramp” Live 4 times. Their live shows are a spectacle and brilliant. Each member is a musical genius. Rick Davies is my favorite keyboards player and John Helliwell is favorite Sax player. He is a blast to watch live. The bass and drummer are awesome and Roger’s guitars are superb. The only live show I put above Supertramp is Pink Floyd, who I have seen 4 times.

    Supertramp is such an amazing band. Had the absolute pleasure of seeing Rodger Hodgson in concert at The Tivoli here in Brisbane. Haven't seen Rick live, but tunes like this one remind us he's not to be underestimated on vocals.

    What a way to end an album. I have always loved it and Bob's drums are imposing! Bob Siebenberg was friends with Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham since they were teenagers, both coming from Glendale, CA. Bob married Scott's younger sister Vicki, lol. Three years after this, Scott invited John Helliwell, Supertramp's saxophonist to play on the hit single by Thin Lizzy, Dancing In The Moonlight.

    In the1977 concert they had a projector showing a video during this song. There was a white dot coming closer and closer while Rick was singing. When he was done and before the instrumental began planet earth was on the screen. It exploded with a bang and it was startling. For the rest of the song the pieces of earth flew out until you saw the album cover at the end. I'm glad to hear that you will be listening to the rest of the album. There is one song on this album that is full of emotion that ends in desperation. This album is Supertramp's masterpiece. The reason Breakfast in America was so popular is because it was more pop than prog.

      ​@@retroreactions.... The name of the song is Asylum. It isn't requested that much at all, but it is a great song. The song before it, Hide in Your Shell kind of goes together with Asylum. Hide in your shell and you might end up in an Asylum. Both songs have the same build up structure. You might say that both songs end in desperation.

    "Crime of the Century" is one of my top favorite albums from one of my very favorite bands. The album, "Even in the Quietest Moments" has a fair number of orchestral parts. Overall, they had a string of 5-7 magical albums, each one uniquely Supertramp.
    You have said more than once that you love orchestration in music. I strongly recommend that you listen to or react to the album, "Days of Future Past" by the Moody Blues. Seamless intertwining of rock and orchestral music, from all the way back in 1967. It is a concept album so it is difficult to name just one song. However, the song "Nights in White Satin" (shortened for radio version) was a big hit for them, and the song "Tuesday Afternoon" was also popular. The entire album is wonderful and stands the test of time, IMHO.

    Supertramp is one of the very best examples of how music was recorded in the 1970's. You can close your eyes and "see" where each instrument fits in the room. You can literally choose an instrument and listen to it through an entire song (Crime is the best recorded rock album in history in MY mind)...as a bass player Dougie (you were right, it's pronounced with an "ooooo") plays the most tasteful bass lines...just what is needed, never overplayed.

    ( admittedly fantastic as well ) but took the shine and attention away from “Crime”. Some parts of Pink Floyd’s is weaker then others, whereas “ Crime” is stellar throughout . Rudy is a sure fire masterpiece , as well as “ Hide
