I first heard this song in January of 1975 while in the U.S. Navy onboard the USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, an Aircraft Carrier. This black boy, who by the way is a musician and songwriter, back then had never heard super beautiful rock music like this. One of my Shipmates, Petty Officer McWhorter, was studying me one evening when this song was playing on the shipboard radio, and I know he couldn't believe a black boy was mesmerized by this type of music. He came over and asked me, "do you like that?" And I told him yeah. He would also turn me on to Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), and other groups that I love to this day. I was 18 years old when I first heard this song and I am now 66 and still love rock and roll and especially songs like this. I love all types of music except hip hop (ha ha, LOL).
Love your story & musical taste! Btw, my bros served on destroyer Richard L Page in '75 - not as impressive as your ship (!) but had to mention after reading your amazing comment here. 🎵🇺🇸
@@nahuelnahue9545 it dosent surprise me you like this music without the gospel music given to us all by the black slaves we would not have it for that i will always be grateful as should all us white people bless you brother
They got lots and lots of air play. Very popular, in a Steely Dan sort of way. They did their own thing and it was good! It's 2022 and I'm still listening. 😎✌
I was like 14 when my mom said here listen to this, and she handed me Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America on vinyl. Wow! It was true love that 40 years later has only gotten better. Thanks mom!
Funny: i heard this song for the 1st time while driving to greece with my family in our camper (summer holiday in Germany). I was 8 or 9 years old. Late evening, lights of a city in the distance. And this song...
Funny you say that I bought this record when it came out and thought the same thing clean and tight with deep bass and wide dynamic range I needed no adjustments from my system it's that good . You're right
I always chuckle a bit when I hear or read the "high quality for the time" line! Sorry, but analogue recording, when done correctly, is still the best you will get. The only time you can find better quality is if an analogue master gets manipulated digitally - straight to digital recordings do not capture all of the harmonics that get captured on tape.
I tear up when I hear this song. Brings me back to HS/college days decades ago. The children laughing and yelling and the piano interlude are beautiful
Love you now and forever ❤My first band since J was 14 years old...Today J am Nearly 64 years..And still Love your awesome Music and Lyricks. Love Marie 🥰
One of their best albums besides breakfast in America, loved supertramp since I was a teenager, still love their music to this day. School is one of my favorite songs.
I’m nearly 60 in two months time, but as a teenager I spent my summers with my second family in the long balmy summers in Brixham Devon. I remember buying breakfast in America, the day it was released and to young girls/ladies ran a small shop on the harbour. I ran to them and they played it on their turntable in the shop. Both side, twice. This just takes me back, listening to such a fantastic band. I do miss those times.
You can hear how good they are from the fact that there’s about five songs in this track that 99% of bands would have made into full songs. Incredible band.
When this album came out for the first time , I heard it at a friend´s house who had a room with cork on the walls and a beastly professional sound system...I remember I had never heard anything like it, the music was mind blowing but the quality of the recording for a vinyl record was out of this galaxy...
Best Rock 'n Album of all time! At parties back in the day, we would play both sides and everybody loved it! Not one person ever complained! Not a weak song or a filler on it!
Classic tune, they were such a great band, used to listen to this a lot in College when we used to play whole album sides on kick ass stereos. I always loved the piano part in this song from 3:16 on. They just don't make songs like this anymore, nothing is even close.
Best audio quality of this track on YT. Thank you. The intro alone is spectacular. Hodgson & Davies at their very best (and the entire band, of course). I know that Breakfast in America was their monster album ~ and rightly so ~ but Crime Of The Century seems like their finest collaboration. The composition here is mind blowing. The build up to 3:16 is so perfect. That's recess & everyone's out for a spell. Then it's back to class & the final "You're coming along."
An era when the few produced rock compositions that told the story using every artist from musician to album covers to ultimate concert and you 'd never leave the same.
Happy Birthday Roger Hodgson born on March 21, 1950. He is an English musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the former co-frontman and founding member of progressive rock band Supertramp. After releasing two solo albums in 1984 and 1987, Roger Hodgson took a break from his music career to spend time with his children as they were growing up. He returned to touring in 1997, and released a third solo album in 2000. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Hodgson
Canción de cuando tenía 15 años!! Y tengo 60!! Cómo pasa el tiempo. Pero no por esta canción extraña y dramática, hermosa y fulminante. "Escuela". Long life long term
Wow! I've never found this album on YT before! This was my first ever live gig... They were supported by Mike Oldfield doing Tubular Bells!!!!! Absolutely epic night when I was about 15!
Back in the 70s my friend's dad had a kick ass Pioneer Technics stereo and speakers. He had four speakers and they were set up in each corner of the room facing the center. The scream was crazy loud but the acoustics in that song sounded so great on that Technics turntable, stereo and speakers.
I was 8 y.o. when my uncles lend me the cassette in 1991. Never stopped listening this band every month since then... So 384 months listening best group ever.
This album sounds today as if it was recorded YESTERDAY !!!! It's incredible to think that it sounds even more new and fresh than "Famous last words", released 10 years after !!
Back in mid 70ies, their performance at the Montreal Jerry Park stadium was phenomenal! Unbeknown to anyone, before opening of the show, for relaxation they played soccer at the park with a bunch of locals! Love their music!

I just can't get enough of the piano solo, truly magnificent.
One of the best songs ever. I'm 68 and been listening to it since the army in the seventies
I'm 60 years old and I've always loved this song.
✌💀👍
This true class leaves everthing behind these day. Nobody comes anywhere near this classic

School ... a classic fantastic song! 🤗🎶🎶
Always in my personal top 20 albums list since 1974
Top 5 for me 👍
The Best Recorded Album Ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely the greatest band in my life. So many memories over the years. Watched them live in London and Paris, ❤❤
All of my neighbors listen to alot of Supertramp....since I moved in.
Just trying to get on your good side. Shame they can't spell tho'.
I wish I were your neighbor ... Our neighbors will hear it double lmao
@@POWMAJ We could make the neighbors down the street wet the bed...lmao
Yeah my neighbors also listen to some awesome music, weather they want it or not 😅
This whole album crime of the century is absolutely fantastic
That was way before O J Simpson!!!
no words to describe this musical masterpiece....thank you mom for having brought Supertramp to my life!!!
Kudos to Your mom
This one goes out to the one I love
A quintessential mid-1970s song. Great recording, and instrumentation.
My youth with Fantastic Supertramp
Simply Wonderful ❣️❣️❣️
The most underated band of 1970's , but then again there was so much good music back then .
What other bands are similar to supertramps?
@@aarondonally8153 try Camel, King Crimson, the Genesis and maybe The Yes. Just don't expect the same exact sound.
They got lots and lots of air play. Very popular, in a Steely Dan sort of way. They did their own thing and it was good! It's 2022 and I'm still listening. 😎✌
@@thevideocommenter3061 I know you're name is THE Video Commenter but... You don't need to put a "The" in front of Genesis or Yes lol
@@brunobailly7013 The thanks.
I was 18, and the Supertramp LPs were my gate to a parallel world of joy, love and imagination. That was half a century back. Dear God!
Me too
Oh 💩has it been that long ago???
Mon groupe des années 70 et 80 ,j'aime Supertramp,, merci au groupe
I was like 14 when my mom said here listen to this, and she handed me Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America on vinyl. Wow! It was true love that 40 years later has only gotten better. Thanks mom!
Cool mom.
What a cool mom! 👌
1 of the best mom in the world
Your mom has good taste.
Your mom is 👍
Driving on the autobahn listening to supertramp back in the day....good times great memories
Awesome band they where
Funny: i heard this song for the 1st time while driving to greece with my family in our camper (summer holiday in Germany). I was 8 or 9 years old. Late evening, lights of a city in the distance. And this song...
Their best song imo...I was in 8th grade when this banger came out.💯👍👏
Best ever!
My beloved band when I was in my teens.
Couldn't stay a day without listening.
Reminds me of those good days.
Even after almost half a century, I still love this song like the first day!
I still use it to test sound systems!
Underrated? Okay.
In fact it was the crime of the century 😊
Even in the quietest moments I love this song.
This is a hidden master piece. I have goose bumps, when the drums come. Reminds me of a train leaving the station... 03:15 - 04:17
When I heard this as a late teen I felt that the world was wide open and great things were about to happen for me.
This was one of the best recordings of all time. The fidelity was just incredible for the time.
Funny you say that I bought this record when it came out and thought the same thing clean and tight with deep bass and wide dynamic range I needed no adjustments from my system it's that good . You're right
Hell, it is still incredible 47 years later! i still use it for speaker testing!
@@juniorjohnson9509 Ha! Me too, along with New Order's Blue Monday

We had McIntosh and Bose components in a stereo shoppe where I worked in '79, early 1980 and you can bet this got presented.
Supertramp is standard for the quality of music of the 70's
I tear up when I hear this song. Brings me back to HS/college days decades ago. The children laughing and yelling and the piano interlude are beautiful
Same here. I would say misspent youth but it wasn't.
Hairs on my neck standing up. Haven’t heard this in decades. This album was important to me. ❤
Reminds me of my misspent youth 👍👍👍👍
Still is, to me!
I heard this for the first time today in a pub and all the hairs on my body stood up
Ain't it amazing, how music can transport us back to certain spots in our lifes like immediately, incl. all the feelings backthen....
This is one of the most underrated songs of all time
True👍✨
Even in the Quietest Moments tops this as most underrated IMO
Absolutely agree
Bloody right about that
Ein Lied aus meiner Jugend ❤ einfach grandios
Love you now and forever ❤My first band since J was 14 years old...Today J am Nearly 64 years..And still Love your awesome Music and Lyricks. Love Marie 🥰
4 days away from 2023 and still loving it.... Masterpiece.
Supertramp were a magnificent band. Hugely underrated.
The best song ever of supertramp,i would never forget the moment thath i hereared this for the first time.❤️❤️
One of the best bands ever!!
I spent half of my life thinking that Supertramp was an American band
"Breakfast in America"!!! Misled you
American drummer!
They are Britisk😉
But Roger Hodgson is a bad gay.He dropped the rest of the group. Just chek it…
Dreamer in the Jear 1974. An epic Song, timless, special Supertramp Sound.
the 60's and 70's were best times for rock n roll.
I adore Supertramp, since I was a teenager... What beautiful tunes!🥰
Está wea me tocó el alma la primera vez que lo escuché saludos de Chile,
This could be the best song in the world!! The build up of this song right through plays in a genius class of its own
Best record of the 70's without any doubt!
They were the perfect prog rock in the 70's. This and quietest moments were their best work. Nothing but great songs on both albums.
I found your right.
Bloody well right.
@@chrissett4245 That makes just the two of us!
@@davidcopson5800 Make that three))
And pink floyd right?
Music from my youth. So glad I grew up in the 60's/70's
One of their best albums besides breakfast in America, loved supertramp since I was a teenager, still love their music to this day.
School is one of my favorite songs.
Much better than Breakfast in America, tho I liked that too.
Oh god yessss, what a superb band. If I said they were incredible, it would be an under statement.
How could you EVER have come-up with music this GOOD*!!!???
one of the best great intro
I’m nearly 60 in two months time, but as a teenager I spent my summers with my second family in the long balmy summers in Brixham Devon.

im barely 20 and i still love this song
One of the greatest bands EVER!

Total Classic.. Supertramps best Album and School has to be up there with the Classics!!
My best song from the seventies, l was a teenager dreaming of best life ..
por dios que placer poder escuchar este TEMON
Pues en España poca gente conoce Supertramp, no entiendo porqué!
Sisisis
That beginning tears me up, blues at its finest
*MASTERPIECE*
Sonically pure indulgence, brilliant bass playing and drums
When this album came out for the first time , I heard it at a friend´s house who had a room with cork on the walls and a beastly professional sound system...I remember I had never heard anything like it, the music was mind blowing but the quality of the recording for a vinyl record was out of this galaxy...
Cuando la escuché por primera vez con 16 años me partió la cabeza!!Era hermosísima y extraña a la vez ,una obra de arte!!
This will always be one of my favourite songs. So beautiful.
Best Rock 'n Album of all time! At parties back in the day, we would play both sides and everybody loved it! Not one person ever complained! Not a weak song or a filler on it!

I learnt the piano because of this track over 40 yrs ago..
I love it even more in the Paris live record. Dunno why but ot makes me feel all the emotions at once :D
My favorite piano in rock!
EDSON MEDSON SONGS IN CZcams
I learned a lot of their music, inluding the intro to bloody well right, this back in 1979, not too many people had figured it out then
Simply one of the most emotive and underrated songs ever. Thanks for posting
Stop now with the underrated nonsense
@@norwegianzound your comment is highly underrated.
When I was growing up in the ‘70s EVERYBODY knew this song and this album.
"Underrated" LOL
I am a Big Supertramp fan since school years... We used to play this song late at night around camp fire. Fond memories of the past.
des bons musiciens brillants en marge du star système totalement….🎸🎸🎹🎹🎹 incontournable. même en 2023. ☀️☀️🇲🇨
Wondeful song, one of the best ones ever.

"Don't Do this, and Don't Do That". Yes, completely summed up my school experience
Des musiciens hors pairs,rythmes+voix au top,c'est inégalé depuis...🤜❣️🤛
Crime of the century, is that the band isn't still cranking out EPIC TUNES !
Too much infighting & clashing egos.
Brings back memories...waow....
Adoro este album...
Canción de cuando tenía 15 años!! Y tengo 60!! Cómo pasa el tiempo. Pero no por esta canción extraña y dramática, hermosa y fulminante. "Escuela". Long life long term
Esta canción no envejece.
Il y a des chansons comme ça qui traverse le temps et inégalable , la perfection des musiciens et les voix , i love supertramp .
Wow! I've never found this album on YT before! This was my first ever live gig... They were supported by Mike Oldfield doing Tubular Bells!!!!! Absolutely epic night when I was about 15!

This is before my own time. But, my parents made sure that I got full dose of. It's still supreme, in my humble opinion.

So do I
I was 8 y.o. when my uncles lend me the cassette in 1991. Never stopped listening this band every month since then... So 384 months listening best group ever.

Man this song makes me miss the childhood I wouldnt wish upon anyone. How weird is that?
Every single second of this is just on rhe money. Plus , it has the best scream in rock history on it.
Absolutely brilliant piece of music 🎼
🙌Incontestablement dans mon top 10 des musiques que j'aime. Tout, y compris les accélérations, y est superbe. L'album : un sans fautes
After church is over we're playin' in park....LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE this song
After school. Not after church
@@1980Campino LAUGHINGGGG TYPO...Church girl here
Rest easy pops.
miss you everyday.
''You're coming along''
Helped me get through school!
Love Supertramp! These guys were so damn tight as musicians!
Crime of the Century was definitely an album rather than a collection of songs....
I've probably commented on this before, but geesus .....what a great song. Piano player is amazing....just the build up.
a high level of music
This was the soundtrack to our high school lives❤️ Lake a band from Germany , was also an incredible band❤️
I love Supertramp!!! One of my favorite bands from the 70s
My dad's friend blasted this song in the 1970s in his living room!
Han das diese Schallplatte mit 13 Jahren gekauft Sau geile Scheibe danke 1000 mal
