I know this is going to sound so corny - this is the one of the few songs that can lift me from the depths of depression up to the point that life is worth living again. It brings back so many memories of good times with people no longer with us. Where did my life go so quickly - 70 years gone in a flash. Wish I had a second go at it.
"Fool's Overture is one of my favorite pieces that I've ever written. It was very magical the way it came together. It was actually three separate pieces of music that I had for a few years and then, one day, they kind of all slotted together in what I think is a magnificent, kind of epic piece of music. I always imagined performing it with an orchestra, so when I did start playing with orchestras back in the '90s, it was such a thrill to play this song. I still get goosebumps to his day every time I get an opportunity perform it with an orchestra." ~Roger Hodgson
Crime of the Century, Logical Song, Dreamer, Goodbye Stranger... so many masterpieces that makes it really hard to choose a favorite. Deep lyrics and perfect songs.
COMPLÈTEMENT !!!!!!!! Je ne savais pas que c'était un groupe sous estimé. Je vous dirai que j'ai plané avec eux, c'est tellement poétique !!!!!! Ceci juste en les écoutant, ça me suffisait !!!!!!! Comme je l'ai déjà dit, je les aime et les aimerais toujours !!!!!!!!! Sauf " Breakfast in America ", je n'accroche pas ! Les autres, je les écoute facilement toute une nuit, tranquille !!!!!!!!!
@@desertsunset8025 remember Mozart was a "pop star" of his day, why is saying this is classical music snobby? I trained as a classical pianist, exams up to grade 8. I've played classics, pop music of all types including country, jazz and reggae. There are only two types of music, Good and Bad.
@ian7538 honestly I think fools overture is not something I would listen to twice . Just because an orchestra performed it does not make it a classical great .
What can I say !! Today I am 61 years old and listening Supertramp & Roger Hodgson from the beginning and still in love !!! For me, my Favorite song from all of them since 1977. The sadness of al that, we will all disappear and the new generation won't pay any attention to that beautiful realisation. Don't get me wrong, i am very positive !!!!!!!!!!
Mike, I am 64 and listening as well. Filled with medical inconveniences. They told me maybe 3/6/9 months to go, but identify believe this. Music in general gives emotion and power at the same time. Life goes as it goes.
There´s nothing greater and more fuffiling in the life of a Composer, than to have his Music interpreted by a Symphonic Orchestra. It is a testament of worthiness, The Ultimate confirmation of the true quality of a creative Musician
My dear departed brother brought home the quietest moments album when it originally came out. I'd be about 11 then, and this track just blew my mind. Fast forward to 2021, I'm 56 now, the aches, pains of growing old have started and this track takes me back vividly to those carefree days. Thanks, brother, you were suddenly taken away from us but we'll meet again.
Justo como a ti, me pasó en este preciso momento. Yo me encontraba haciendo unas tareas para la universidad cuando escuché por primera vez Fool's Overture y después toda la colección de musica de Supertramp. Escuchando el solo de piano de Roger al principio, de inmediato me llevó a retroceder 30 años aproximadamente... Una joya, una verdadera joya esta canción.
Released back in 1977, this still stands out as one of the most brilliant pieces of music ever written. Thank you Roger for composing such a masterpiece.
Whats so cool is he sounds today as he did then. I seen him in STLOUIS before the pandemic and he said he carried three songs around forever but neither was long enough for a song so he joined them together. Thank God he did because this is a true masterpiece.❤
I still recall when it came out. I absolutely and completely fell in love with this album. This song in particular just pierces my soul. Even to this day!
I brought my daughter to see roger in the Royal Albert hall 4 years ago for her 40th birthday, we had 3 days in London,,,,,, but if I’m honest I was fulfilling my own dream,,, we both loved it anyway 😂
Supertramp and Roger Hodgson having been a strong musical presence in my childhood and younger years, it’s been great to discover as an adult what a kind, humble and generous person Roger is as well.
They don't make music like this anymore. No auto tuned, computerized formula rubbish. Just brilliance. Saw them on their epic 1979 live tour. To this day the best live show I ever saw. Amazing.
Is it just me, or does this song draw an emotional response that brings you to tears? I don’t know why, but it does every time I watch it. What a masterpiece!
Roger....you are THE MAN. If one month goes by where I haven't listened to the complete "Even In The Quietest Moment " album....I go into withdrawal. Best to you and yours ALWAYS. 💕
Nearly 50 years old, yet it still moves me as it did the first time that I listened to it on Paris Live, thank you Mr. Hodgeson for creating the most memorable song of all time. I applaud your brilliance. Long live Fool's overture. And its creator. Thank you for the music.
Crisis, What Crisis hooked me, Supertramp had an incredibly clear sound. I stopped watching the Grammy’s when they were passed over, these guys had it!!!
Mr. Hodgson sure knows how to put on a great show. Roger Hodgson co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and was the driving force behind what fans call the 14 golden years of the band. Having worked with this amazing, gentle, and talented man, and SUPERTRAMP, I can say without a doubt, He/They deserve EVERY accolade He/They get.
I’ve just collected my father-in-laws ashes, and my parents are gone, I have a few friends and some great family close by, and I’m happy with what I’ve lived through, experienced in life, and places I’ve been. I have life left to experience more. This song has been with my since the mid 80s, when I first heard Supertramp, and it’ll stay with me until my end of days….. it’s haunting, yet fulfilling, desolate and full of hope, positive and enhancing my emotions, and it has been for 40 years…. How such a beautiful piece can be made, and not exist in its own right in nature is mesmerising to me. It’s as perfect as any living organism on the strange planet. I hope you gain as much as I do from Roger and the band…. It’s is truly an event to hear it every time. Thanks Supertramp, and thanks Neil Williams for introducing me to this.
I've said elsewhere that, in my opinion, Roger Hodgson is one of the greatest musicians and composers of 20th century popular music. This particular piece, though, goes beyond even that. For its sheer artistry, originality, and soul-stirring qualities it stands alongside the likes of "I am the walrus", "Stairway to heaven", and "MacArthur Park".
I couldn't have said it any better myself. The performance in this video (with the orchestra) was spectacular! They don't make songs like this anymore that's for sure!!!
I grew up on this delicious music! Never forget these moments at their concerts. Do we understand at a young age how beautiful and meaningful this would be in our older years.. epic and beautiful . Thank you for this precious moment!!! 🙏🙏🙏♥️❤️
and *I* am one of them, brother. This band turned me into the 57 yr old music composer that I am today! I mean every word of it. It really did. Downstream" was amazing..... DBarch
Considering I lived in Liverpool from 62-65 and had Beatles records before the world even knew who they were, I can honestly say this song is a Masterpiece. I have seen Supertramp 4 times in 40 yrs. of going to concerts, and this is real music! Not the pop tart crap they put out today!!!
It happens - personality differrences, musical differences, lives move on with marraige, children etc. Life doesn't stand still. He allowed them to continue the name of Supertramp and it was agreed which writer had claim to which songs, it was also then agreed that the remaining Supertramp didn't perform any of Roger's songs and he wouldn't perform any not written by himself. This was adherred to for a while until audiences dwindled for Supertramp because the vast majority of the better songs were Roger's, the band then broke the agreement and played Roger's songs to bring back ticket sales. To my knowledge, Roger never played any of Rick Davies' songs. He certainly didn't when I saw him in London this year and I've never seen any footage of him doing so. His current band is awesome. Long may they continue. If you get a chance to see them live then do so.You will not be disappointed.
Je suis en train de réfléchir, je ne me rappelle plus depuis combien de temps j'aime ce morceau !!!!!!!! Mais si mes souvenirs sont bons, ça fait au moins 40 ans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Je confirme et c'est toujours un régal pour moi !!!! Peu de personnes sont d'accord avec moi, peu importe !!!!!!!!! Chacun a le droit de donner ses opinions, après tout....Si personne n'a les mêmes opinions que moi ! Pas grave, tout le monde a le droit d'exprimer ses opinions, positives ou non, c'est le droit de chacun !!!!!!sur ce, bonne fin de nuit !!!!!!!
I have such an emotional reaction to this song, because it takes me back to when I was seventeen - sitting alone in my room feeling wounded and unsure about what kind of future, if any, was possible for me. Thank you Roger for so perfectly marking that moment in time for me and making me realize now how far I have come.
Wow… Intense… Supertramp was booed in Vermont I heard… I'm sure the folks there were not ready for such a talent and band as Supertramp… Was this true? I'm not sure I was 12 I think… I'm sure all those who booed are ashamed of themselves… If not, they are just not worthy of quality music!
@Nina Morningstar....like you ...but I lived in the french mountain...I listen Supertamp every day !...again and again :o). Roger and his music..are Christique (Christic in english ?)...His songs and melodies are in my soul !
So many of us. Yes. Even growing up in Europe it touched me (us?) in a deep way. Was he just lucky? Doubt it. This will forever be part of our generation and we're lucky to have it. Well, that and Floyd.
fools overture is a stand alone masterpiece of sheer astounding deeply cutting and moving composition, it brings a tear to my eyes ever time i hear it, its just so amazing.
It’s the Winston Churchill grab that gets me too in this special song - I am in awe of those times in war & what people had to face then (and still do to this day)
I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to be in that room with Roger and that orchestra and choir. Tears are just pouring down my cheeks...
I've seen this man in concert twice and both times walked away in awe of what an amazing man and performer he is ..... such a gifted , talented man and thank you Roger for the many years of joy you've given us all .
I always wonders what went through his mind when he performed this masterpiece for the first time live with an Orchestra and Choire. That must have been glorious feeling. ❤❤❤
Que dire à la vie merci d’avoir traversé notre vie notre âme et le bonheur de ne jamais oublier les beaux moments que la vie nous a offert Thanks Roger 🙏
Agree with last comment about this song lifts our spirits to keep on believing there is hope beyond the chaos of life's trials! Long time fan since I was 16 in high school!
Fantastic!!! I always thought the marriage of a full orchestra and rock-n-roll was the best in music composition. And those writers, like RH, who can accomplish that are truly the talented ones of our time. We are the lucky ones to be privileged to listen to it and to have the open mind to understand the greatness of such a project.
Truly epic song. Even in the Quietest Moments I bought on vinyl late 70s, still have it, still play it. It's one of my fav albums ever. A true masterpiece.
@@lindafay6637 You mean you’ve never heard it before? It will grow on you more and more, it’s just amazing and timeless. Get the album Even in the Quietest Moments …you will love it!
one of the best musics ever arranged!even in the quietest moments is a wonderfull and fantastic album,i canot recall the times i heard this song and the album.
Fool's Overture History recalls how great the fall can be While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea Born on the wings of time It seemed the answers were so easy to find "Too late", the prophets cry The island's sinking, let's take to the sky Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride Everyone was laughing up until the day he died And though the wound went deep Still he's calling us out of our sleep My friends, we're not alone He waits in silence to lead us all home So tell me that you find it hard to grow Well I know, I know, I know And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow Well I know, I know, I know Can you hear what I'm saying Can you see the parts that I'm playing "Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie" So you found your solution What will be your last contribution? "Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy? Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy Yeah!
Jose Ortega he is purely a legend!! I've only heard of him this morning on the radio, "Take the long way home"! Just an amazing musical masterpiece, really upbeat!
![Roger Hodgson - Fool's Overture [Live in Vienna 2010]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xScUUx2Iudk/mqdefault.jpg)

No... but one of them !!

Almost makes me cry, it’s so beautiful, I grew up with this group, they were such a favorite, now I’m 74 and wanting more!
Same age, idem for me..
No words to describe this song. For me, it is a masterpiece by Supertramp.

This tore my heart into pieces, my emotional response was illogical, such a master piece. ❤
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks Roger, you have amazing music
Crisis, what crisis, even now with c
and I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. such an awesome piece.
This is more than a simple music. This is art. It`s a masterpiece of genius and inspiration
Absolutely ❤
Crime of the Century, Logical Song, Dreamer, Goodbye Stranger... so many masterpieces that makes it really hard to choose a favorite. Deep lyrics and perfect songs.
I could only guess at the number of times that I have given my Pioneers and JBL's a workout to "Child Of Vision"....
Adeus os que tem sede de amor e se vendem, que alma perdida!
The most under-rated band of all time. I had all their albums as they came out. Crime of the Century!! I knew I had great taste!!

They don't make music like this anymore. No auto tuned, computerized formula rubbish. Just brilliance. Saw them on their epic 1979 live tour. To this day the best live show I ever saw. Amazing.
That's why their songs live forever
Såg dom i Stockholm 1993
No you're right about things, I think
Yes they do. Listen to more music.
I believe 1979 was the year I saw them, too. "An Evening With Supertramp". Market Square Arena, Indianapolis.
2024 and old Europe is awaiting YOU,Roger!!
This is one of the best pieces of music ever written by anyone on this planet.
I totally agree.
ABSOLUTELY!!👍

Roger....you are THE MAN. If one month goes by where I haven't listened to the complete "Even In The Quietest Moment " album....I go into withdrawal. Best to you and yours ALWAYS. 💕
It is prophecy in music....time always tells..... Sad, however true. We get the message too late.
Goosebumps
Not only you
Yeah, I'm in tears right now.
This is the way music should be...orchestra and rock band and choir....the power..... the energy...the sensuality.
Crime of the Century is probably in the top 100 rock albums of all time.
I’d probably rank it in MY Too 50….screw those stupid RS lists…
Orchestra gives another dimension and depth to this masterpiece ❤️
Simply magical
In Montreal, he is considered a GOD of music, along with Dennis DeYoung.
Nearly 50 years old, yet it still moves me as it did the first time that I listened to it on Paris Live, thank you Mr. Hodgeson for creating the most memorable song of all time. I applaud your brilliance. Long live Fool's overture. And its creator. Thank you for the music.
Lots of bands tried the lets show off our chops with an orchestra thing but these guys actually pulled ot off.
Still listening to this - must be 50ish years on!
Mr Hodgson, je vous écoute depuis plus de 40 ans et je suis toujours en admiration devant votre immense talent. You're the best 💕
Biberonné à ça, Alan Parson ou Barclay James Harvest, jamais pu passer le virage du rap 🥴

C'est tellement vrai moi aussi je le vénère

This song means so much at this time WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER 😔
Milli try choirs not possible in most counties, its amans world
We shall never surrender to rap. We shall never surrender to rubbish like the X Factor.
Just " discovered" Supertramp's genius in past year and wishing id seen them live in the '80's or 90's....can't get enough of the videos
you see this is what we all live for, the past is some you all never forget
Back when music was proper music
This is one of the best songs of all the times ! I miss a lot these years !

This will forever be part of our generation and we're lucky to have it. Well, that and Floyd.

Supertramp is a masterpiece.
First band I ever saw live. Boy, was I lucky.
Oh mein Gott wie Klasse und in und mit viel Liebe gespielt ❤❤❤
Dankeschön Supertramp ❤❤❤
It’s the Winston Churchill grab that gets me too in this special song - I am in awe of those times in war & what people had to face then (and still do to this day)
This is pure perfection!
I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to be in that room with Roger and that orchestra and choir. Tears are just pouring down my cheeks...
Best song they ever did❤
Tanks you SUPERTRAMP for the DREAM❤️
my late teens were spent listening to this music Supertramp ...Pink floyd and others such tallent ....thank you so much guys
just one more masterpiece
Esta canción va más allá del rock o el pop. Es una auténtica obra de arte. Se debe considerar como una auténtica sinfonía de música clásica.
I've seen this man in concert twice and both times walked away in awe of what an amazing man and performer he is ..... such a gifted , talented man and thank you Roger for the many years of joy you've given us all .
Watch this more than an 100 times, and i still get goose bumps
I always wonders what went through his mind when he performed this masterpiece for the first time live with an Orchestra and Choire. That must have been glorious feeling. ❤❤❤
He was probably relieved he finally got through it with all the moving parts involved….
You can hear him whoop at one point.
Que dire à la vie merci d’avoir traversé notre vie notre âme et le bonheur de ne jamais oublier les beaux moments que la vie nous a offert Thanks Roger 🙏

Agree with last comment about this song lifts our spirits to keep on believing there is hope beyond the chaos of life's trials! Long time fan since I was 16 in high school!
Fantastic!!! I always thought the marriage of a full orchestra and rock-n-roll was the best in music composition. And those writers, like RH, who can accomplish that are truly the talented ones of our time. We are the lucky ones to be privileged to listen to it and to have the open mind to understand the greatness of such a project.
The message is to keep tuned in to the Eternal!
Truly epic song. Even in the Quietest Moments I bought on vinyl late 70s, still have it, still play it. It's one of my fav albums ever. A true masterpiece.
I just found this today. Wow
@@lindafay6637 You mean you’ve never heard it before? It will grow on you more and more, it’s just amazing and timeless. Get the album Even in the Quietest Moments …you will love it!
Dear Roger, I saw you twice in Germany. I really Need a third one. Please visit is soon in 2024.
This absolute masterpiece should be as least as known and as celebrated as Bohemian Rhapsody.
Thank you for sharing, BDFilms4U.

Fool's Overture
History recalls how great the fall can be
While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea
Born on the wings of time
It seemed the answers were so easy to find
"Too late", the prophets cry
The island's sinking, let's take to the sky
Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride
Everyone was laughing up until the day he died
And though the wound went deep
Still he's calling us out of our sleep
My friends, we're not alone
He waits in silence to lead us all home
So tell me that you find it hard to grow
Well I know, I know, I know
And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow
Well I know, I know, I know
Can you hear what I'm saying
Can you see the parts that I'm playing
"Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie
Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie"
So you found your solution
What will be your last contribution?
"Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy?
Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy
Yeah!
Until the end of times...
Time of falkland war
Magic. Unveliable. Incredible. Pure fantasy. Supertramp Legend.
Jose Ortega he is purely a legend!! I've only heard of him this morning on the radio, "Take the long way home"! Just an amazing musical masterpiece, really upbeat!
