I remember going from my hometown, CHICAGO to Alpine Valley concert hall to see Supertramp. We couldn't get any seats so we were up on the grass and it had rained and we all had soaked feet and wet asses but we didn't care 1bit cuz we were so mesmerized by the music. It was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. It was 8/82. I framed most of my concert tickets and found great wall art in them and I went to ALOT OF CONCERTS. Life was fun and good and much simpler than life is now that I m 62 and just survived breast cancer surgery on top of having MS. I'm glad I did all that crazy shit when I was younger. Best Era to live in ever.
I agree.I am 64 and i have always loved Supertramp.Never see them live.but on lp and utube.They go straight to the mind and heart.Intelligent and powerful too....a Superband.
This is from an era when music was produced by real musicians. I discovered Supertramp in my late teens but this still has the ability to move me 40 years later. Sheer genius!
It will never die when you and me listen every day, and pretend we are back in those times, nothing that musicians of today come close, but we know talent when we hear it, we come back to all these bands and groups, because we have memories that we hold onto, we only share them with the music of our time, we had our time, the youngsters today have their music, it is not intended for us, so we in turn enjoy what filled our days, and they have theirs, we are all lucky to enjoy all kinds of music.
Cette chanson a parcouru mes nuits dans les années 80.Elle ne m’a jamais quitté.j’avais un Walkman et elle jouait et jouait elle est envoûtante.j’ai 71 ans et je me permets de l’écouter encore.Elle me reste et demeure une de mes préférés.Merci de ce beau cadeau Rodger Hodgson.Magnifique
This man is a musical genius and the only reason that I started playing the piano at the age of 12. After listening to Crime of the Century album for the hundredth time, I went to the piano and without even knowing what note I was playing, figured out all of the songs. 38 years later, after a long career as a musician, I still know them.
And To Know That The Great Father God In Heaven Knew How To Orchestrate The Events Of Your Life MidnightruntheBand By Using Roger To Influence Then Inspire You To Become Part Of Who You Are...Amazing Grace..How Sweet The Sound..No Need For Leaving Earthly Life As A Fool..On The Wings Of Time..I Know..I Know..I Know
Dieses Lied versetzt mich in eine Zeit voller Glück und Unbeschwertheit wie ich sie heute nicht mehr erlebe. Umgeben von Menschen die mich glücklich gemacht haben.
I am 47 and am so grateful being the youngest of 6 and having been introduced to this amazing music at such a young age. I have never stopped listening and I never will. True genius! ❣️❣️❣️
I must agree. This music is a gift from the heavens. What! Almost 40 years and still so current! Love it more than ever. Keep introducing the young to those things old. The past teaches us to prepare for the future.
It was Juan, receptionist of the hotel we stayed in late 1978, Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria, who had me listen to Supertramp the first time.. Crime of the Century is an amazing album, the magic I experienced the first time I heard this music, just never went away.. Thx Roger
This song is a masterpiece itself, but with an orchestra is sublime. I was very fortunate to have enjoyed it with orchestra in Valladolid a few years ago. I wish I could repeat such a unique experience...
Lucky you. I saw Roger perform in Australia in recent times. It was a thrill to see him in the flesh. Sadly Supertramp was no more. But yes, this is an absolute masterpiece
This song is a masterpiece. Supertramp was like Queen one of the best composing music groups ever. When Roger stepped out the heart of Supertramp died.
Ahhhh, to have discovered Supertramp whilst in Paris, the mid-seventies, with my entire life in front of me, twenty three years of age! To this day, forty three years passing, their music speaks to my soul. Sheer perfection!! For you, my dear friend, Steve, who left us only a few days ago.....your boat put out to sea upon the wings of time.....xoxo
Welllllllll..Natasha..Imitating Your Style Comment Ahhhhhhh..Everything In Your Comment Is A Blessing While Mirroring Some Of My Life..Being Born Raised In WNY..Buffalo NY Area..You Overseas...Putting Our Own Boats Out To Sea Upon The Wings Of Time..Like You Know In The Deepest Part Of Our Souls..Gods Love Is Eternal..We May Fly As On Wings Of Eagles..Roger Hodgson Brings To Light That We Really Don't Have To End Up Fools..Thank You Roger..Dear Natasha
I discovered Supertramp when I was 20. It didn't take long before they became my favorite group and music to listen to. Fools Overture still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it at the age of 66. I'm so glad I took my son and daughter to their concerts.
VERY WELL SAID...I FEAL EXACTLY THE SAME. IM 56....#SUPERTRAMP WAS BY FAR 1 OF MY VERY FAVORITE BANDS AS A 70S KID , & A EARLY 80S TEEN. I WILL FOREVER BE GREATFULL FOR #ROGER" s / SUPERTRAMPS SUPER TALATANTED music 🎶 & JUST PURE GENIUS MUSIC 🎶 THAT TOOK ME THRU & STILL TAKES ME BACK IN TIME TO A GREAT MUSICAL ERA THAT JUST ALWAYS MAKES ME FEAL SO GOOD EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO THERE WONDERFULL MUSIC .....MUSIC FROM THE PAST FROM GENIIUS LIKE THESE MEN GREAT , MENORIES FROM U @ROGER & #SIPERTRAMP ...THANK U FOR ALL OF THAT .....❤😊 I WILL FOREVER BE A #SUPERTRAMP FAN 🎶🎤🔥❤💃😊
I lived in Liverpool 62-65 and you know who came from there! The greatest band ever, but this song is better than "A Day In the Life"!!! This song is a Masterpiece, and I had the pleasure of seeing Supertramp 3 times. After 50 years of concerts this is in my top 10 shows, and gives me the shivers it is so good!!! PS edit: Zeppelin, Floyd and Elton are in my top 10 too! Pretty good company Roger!!!
Hi from New Zealand. I am originally from the Wirral and studied my engineering degree at the Poly on Byrom Street from 1974 - 1979. I was fortunate to see Supertramp midweek at the Empire in 1976. Then the BBC did a "Sight and Sound" broadcast on the following Saturday night from another venue. Fantastic experiences. We had the old sterio system set up either side of thev tv (maybe black and white then :-) ). Happy memories.
Letting someone touch you is a very universal process. Some ingredients are the prerequisites for that. Firstly mental injuries must been occurred to one person from other persons. Secondly there must be the feeling to be absolutely alone in this world, not physically, but only that there is momentary no person who understands you really. Thirdly there must be quietness. Inspired by a sound a sort of healing of the suffered mental hurts occurs. The miracle is that this feeling everything time and again occurs if the chord progression is repeated. This process can last from 40 years ago until today. Only a person who is healing itself in the same way or had felt the same can produce such a sound. Thank you for this direct link to the person who really understands me. If there is no other person there nevertheless is the assurance that god is at least listen. Thank you for the healing each time I hear your sound.
And The Mastery Of Roger Hodgson To Create A Masterpiece Was Only Possible As Roger's Heart Was Moved By Father God So Our Own Hearts Would Be Touched..
Eine Zeit, so wunderschön und leicht wie nie wieder danach. Mein erster richtiger Freund (leider haben sich unsere Lebensmodelle zu weit voneinander entfernt), meine erste große Liebe und wie fast immer die ersten Fehlentscheidungen.
I first came in contact with your music when I was overseas my wife brought it to my attention and I haven't stopped listening to it since I think it's the best music I've ever heard and I've been around for 68 years thank you for all the good music and good listening fantastic
I was introduced to Supertramp in the 80' by my brother in law who gave me a couple of his old albums and fell in love with their music but never heard of and thought I never heard fool's overture until very recently when I was in a nostalgic mood and I came across it and 1 section which I remembered clearly but could not quite place it other than a news show I watched. Imagine my surprise when I looked it up and found out it was Canada's W5's theme back in the day.
Roger IS the voice of Supertramp.. Saw him last month in the Midwest in the USA a few times. He plays ALL the hits and sings just as a great as he did in the 70's. He tours with a GREAT band if he does a show anywhere near you, you must go see him for a wonderful, beautiful and spiritual evening..
To my opinion on a good day his vocals are now better than when he was young. And the slight lowering of his voice did well for him. Fools Overture was well played by the band Supertramp, too. I'd say as good as a band could possibly play live. It was a bit different, but I did not miss the orchestra. This version certainly is grandiose.
I was at this concert in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 2004. It was amazing! The performance took place as part of the Night of the Proms Tour. The Night of the Proms is a spectacular celebration of classical music and pop that takes place every year. In 2004 in Germany Roger Hodgson and pop artists Joe Cocker, Shaggy, and DJ Bobo performed their greatest hits with the accompaniment of a 70-piece symphonic orchestra, 50-person choir, and the John Miles Electric Band. I've been going to the NOTP for 21 years and I'm always amazed by the artists.
Very very brave to even consider a live performance of this epic song. But then when you have Rodger this seems the right thing to do. We are so lucky to have these kind of musicians that know what they are doing. I do try to listen to modern music i am 78, and crap is the best word i can come up with any music since 1990. Do they not listen to these great tracks of the 70's 80's and learn? OK I give up, thank God for these wonderful musicians of our generation because we do not forget them. They gave us such memories of our lives nothing can compare, thank you all.
Amen!! The man is a musical genius. I can't wait to see him in St. Petersburg next March with an Orchestra!!!! I've seen him 7 times but this show will the first and I'm sure will be the best!! Fool's Overture with an Orchestra. A show for the ages!!!!!! It can't get here soon enough.
Thank you TH-cam for sharing this with the world.. Music like this should be shared. This piece of music is a Classic and will live on forever and ever. Wow what a wonderful performance ... Be safe all.
Cette version me rappelle celle du 07.05.2004 au Zenith de CLERMONT-FERRAND / COURNON. Roger était "l'invité" d'honneur de la tournée NIGHT OF THE PROMS 2004. Ce morceau fit frissonner fans et simples spectateurs. Un de mes plus beaux souvenirs de Roger sur scène. Sans doute la composition de Roger la mieux mise en valeur par un orchestre symphonique, la quarantaine de choristes et l'ex. saxophoniste du regretté Joe COCKER. Un moment exceptionnel et intemporel.
Aside from buying the LP BIA when I was 16, 42 years later and I finally immersed myself in all that is Supertramp. better late than never! My fools overture, hopefully I can see him one of the post Covid days.
Wow. I know it isn't Supertramp but its close enough for me. Spectacular performance and Roger's voice holds up 30 years after the original. Any Canadians remember the opening and closing of this song as the 1980s theme music for the current affairs show W5?
tippi2head: Yup, I do. I also remember seeing Supertramp on their 'Even in The Quietist Moments' tour with Chris De Burgh opening. What a sublime evening that was.
I always wanted to know what the theme music from w5 was. I recently bought a tape deck with an assortment of tapes and by chance one of them was Supertramp "even in the quietest moments". One day I played the tape and had my mind blown when I realized my age old question had just been answered. AWESOME
49 people lost their ears. This song with a full orchestra behind Roger is just heaven on a stick. Masterpiece!! Oh and love the drummer, he is fantastic.
This gives me a certain chill, a rise in my soul that is almost a religious experience. I attend church, and I wouldn't play this in worship but after services it adds my experience.
I've been fortunate to see Roger as an individual act every time he comes to my town. The music is as sharp, as sublime, as uplifting live as it was on record. I look around the venue and see nothing but joy from every other patron enjoying his music.
Juste magique, magnifique, gorgeous !!! J'ai eu le plus grand plaisir de revoir ce Groupe Mythique se reformer, à Bercy, en 1997, pour l'unique et dernière fois. Cadeau anniversaire de mon ami/amour transit Thierry Durand que je remercie encore et encore. Sublime cadeau qui restera gravé à jamais dans mon cœur et bien au-delà. Merci Titi💘💋😇😇🌝😘 ,J'ai "adoré" car je savais que ce serait, malheureusement, la dernière fois, de voir un groupe aussi talentueux et mythique comme il n'en existe, plus vraiment !!! J'espère qu'ils pourront se reformer pour, peut-être, un ultime concert. Alors, je serai là, comme, en 1997, dans la fosse, à Bercy ou ailleurs, avec toi je l'espère, puisque nous partageons le même courant musical, poésies, arts et autres... 🌝🌈😇
The Crime of the Century is the fact that Supertramp isnt in the rock n roll hall of fame. What a shame. One of the most unappreciated and underrated rock bands of all time.
2:26 "We shall go on to the end. We shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall never surrender....." Sir Winston Churchill
"We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender..." *Unedited* Winson Churchill
Anyone who says that Rock and Roll musicians are up to the task with orchestra musicians. this performance with the AWESOME Roger Hodgson proves them wrong. he is truly amazing no doubt.
This song has a way of sending 'tingles down my spine'! I love the piano and the flute together. This to me is 'real' music to listen to! I Thank-you Roger Hodgson for being such a creative man!
Oh Baby-girl, You are BEAUTIFUL! I call you 'baby-girl' ..because, you have a mind and spirit that is open and wanting to learn more. Thank-you for choosing one of MY favorite songs to listen to. We love you too,Dakoda, Sav-E, C.C., Pink, Miss Euphoria. PLUS..... ME! xox
I am NOT a Supertramp fan....don't even really like their music......except for this. This is without a doubt an incredible work.......just incredible.
There are some songs and clips from Roger with an orchestra on the bonus footage of his video - Take the Long Way Home, Live in Montreal. And he will be performing with an audience in Stuttgart on July 6, 2013!
Whenever I am feeling a bit blue I simply turn my frown right side up by listening to this Masterpiece. The mix of the orchestra instruments, piano, flute, creates a melancholy blend that is simply 'divine'.
Tenho 19 anos e essa música me faz sentir saudade de uma época que nem sequer vivi!!! Roger consegue sentir/fazer música como poucos e ainda transmitir para seu público com toda intensidade e simpatia do mundo. Uma verdadeira obra de arte
I remember going from my hometown, CHICAGO to Alpine Valley concert hall to see Supertramp. We couldn't get any seats so we were up on the grass and it had rained and we all had soaked feet and wet asses but we didn't care 1bit cuz we were so mesmerized by the music.

Supertramp, Live In Paris, is still among the greatest of albums.
This isn't a song, this is an experience
Very well put!
Roger is a genius, I saw them in Amsterdam, I am 72 en I listen almost every day, Supertramp and ELO,!! Thats the kind of music thats never die!!
It will never die when you and me listen every day, and pretend we are back in those times, nothing that musicians of today come close, but we know talent when we hear it, we come back to all these bands and groups, because we have memories that we hold onto, we only share them with the music of our time, we had our time, the youngsters today have their music, it is not intended for us, so we in turn enjoy what filled our days, and they have theirs, we are all lucky to enjoy all kinds of music.

Bonjour monsieur merci pour votre commentaire.
Moi aussi j'ai été frappé par cette superbe musique.
J'avais 14ans? C loin déjà.
All of US who grew up in the 70s remember these tunes and the Sunday trips out in the car that accompanied them..
I love this band. I could listen to every song every day. Would never get old.
no but u would

Absolutely correct. A pity that most of the kids today will never be able to understand what truly brilliant and gifted musicians were like. 😁😄👍

Absolutely obsessed and in love with Supertramp. Badass musicians and believers for sure❤🙏🙌
One of best european (and not only )bands
Best song i ever heard in my 55 years!
One of my first concerts, Three Rivers stadium 1979.
I was introduced to Supertramp in the 80' by my brother in law who gave me a couple of his old albums and fell in love with their music but never heard of and thought I never heard fool's overture until very recently when I was in a nostalgic mood and I came across it and 1 section which I remembered clearly but could not quite place it other than a news show I watched.

The only band I had ALL the records for growing up in the 70's!!!
I was so full of emotion hearing this. It made me want to scream and cry and the same time. This was an AMAZING arrangement. 💕💕
Esppetacular ,inesquecivel
Yes still today I can listen to it over and over. When doing military service we only had one cassette . Crime of the century. What a fantastic album.
Hauntingly beautiful.
I was introduced to this fabulous piece by a girlfriend in 1981.
What a masterpiece ❤️
Thanks Lorrelle ❤️
Very very brave to even consider a live performance of this epic song. But then when you have Rodger this seems the right thing to do. We are so lucky to have these kind of musicians that know what they are doing. I do try to listen to modern music i am 78, and crap is the best word i can come up with any music since 1990.

Most music nowadays is not music. Haveto dig real deep to find good music. Roger and Supertramp probably my favorite band of all time
One of the best song from Supertramp...all their songs are good :-)
Roger is a genius, with orchchestra is sublime!! ❤✌
I dont have Internet, - living in the forest is simplicity. But everytime i have, i watch this! Only Love
Grande pezzo scritto da Roger Hodgson che eseguir con l’ausilio dell’ orchestra assume più maestosità e bellezza. Roger è visibilmente emozionato qui
Amen!! The man is a musical genius.
I can't wait to see him in St. Petersburg next March with an Orchestra!!!! I've seen him 7 times but this show will the first and I'm sure will be the best!!
Fool's Overture with an Orchestra. A show for the ages!!!!!! It can't get here soon enough.
If it wasn’t for Covid and all the concerts being canceled... we could all still be seeing this amazing artist live!
Roger Hogson a giant
Roger loves what he’s doing! Many thanks!
1st time I heard this in years! I loved Supertramp when I was a teenager/young man. Made me cry!
Ahhhhhhhhh, 10 mins of soul rising...

Wow. I know it isn't Supertramp but its close enough for me. Spectacular performance and Roger's voice holds up 30 years after the original.
Any Canadians remember the opening and closing of this song as the 1980s theme music for the current affairs show W5?
tippi2head: Yup, I do. I also remember seeing Supertramp on their 'Even in The Quietist Moments' tour with Chris De Burgh opening. What a sublime evening that was.
I truly wish that W5 could have given a good background as to this theme song that was used for a number of years. Mark
Yes I do.
I always wanted to know what the theme music from w5 was. I recently bought a tape deck with an assortment of tapes and by chance one of them was Supertramp "even in the quietest moments". One day I played the tape and had my mind blown when I realized my age old question had just been answered. AWESOME
yes me to
49 people lost their ears. This song with a full orchestra behind Roger is just heaven on a stick. Masterpiece!! Oh and love the drummer, he is fantastic.
Unglaublich gut 👍
This gives me a certain chill, a rise in my soul that is almost a religious experience. I attend church, and I wouldn't play this in worship but after services it adds my experience.
I've been fortunate to see Roger as an individual act every time he comes to my town. The music is as sharp, as sublime, as uplifting live as it was on record. I look around the venue and see nothing but joy from every other patron enjoying his music.
Still my favourite song after all these years.... pure genius. Thanks, Roger.
Extraordinary ! Every instrument speaks as one, vocals are on point. Moving more so than the original. Thank you Roger.
This is soooooo good, emotional
Roger Hodgson, the music of your feelings, the songs of your life ....
Masterpiece of the genius...
Juste magique, magnifique, gorgeous !!! J'ai eu le plus grand plaisir de revoir ce Groupe Mythique se reformer, à Bercy, en 1997, pour l'unique et dernière fois. Cadeau anniversaire de mon ami/amour transit Thierry Durand que je remercie encore et encore. Sublime cadeau qui restera gravé à jamais dans mon cœur et bien au-delà. Merci Titi💘💋😇😇🌝😘 ,J'ai "adoré" car je savais que ce serait, malheureusement, la dernière fois, de voir un groupe aussi talentueux et mythique comme il n'en existe, plus vraiment !!!
J'espère qu'ils pourront se reformer pour, peut-être, un ultime concert. Alors, je serai là, comme, en 1997, dans la fosse, à Bercy ou ailleurs, avec toi je l'espère, puisque nous partageons le même courant musical, poésies, arts et autres...
🌝🌈😇
I was 13 when I first heard Supertarmp. A huge influence of my Teen years
Simplement magnifique magique et grandioses
The Crime of the Century is the fact that Supertramp isnt in the rock n roll hall of fame. What a shame. One of the most unappreciated and underrated rock bands of all time.
No shiiate!
Nothing else can be said but ``` ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE ```
An eternal classical masterpiece from way back when music was honoured as as it should.
2:26 "We shall go on to the end. We shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall never surrender....." Sir Winston Churchill
I always thought that this song is an '' Hommage ', to Chruchill.
Winston Churchill Imperialist murderer. Hated in Ireland, India, Burma, Pakistan.....the list goes on.
@@norwegianzound I guess you would prefer to be speaking German then I take it!
@@norwegianzound how was Churchill an Imperialist?
"We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender..." *Unedited* Winson Churchill
What can one say, beautiful.
Anyone who says that Rock and Roll musicians are up to the task with orchestra musicians. this performance with the AWESOME Roger Hodgson proves them wrong. he is truly amazing no doubt.
Noch einmal so schön wie immer wieder
Just... PERFECT.
This song has a way of sending 'tingles down my spine'! I love the piano and the flute together. This to me is 'real' music to listen to! I Thank-you Roger Hodgson for being such a creative man!
BEATIFUL flute,piano and violin:)
I LOVE YOU KELLY BELLY AND I LOVE DAKOTA, SAV-E,CICI, PINK AND MISSUFORIA
Oh Baby-girl, You are BEAUTIFUL! I call you 'baby-girl' ..because, you have a mind and spirit that is open and wanting to learn more. Thank-you for choosing one of MY favorite songs to listen to. We love you too,Dakoda, Sav-E, C.C., Pink, Miss Euphoria. PLUS..... ME! xox
I am NOT a Supertramp fan....don't even really like their music......except for this. This is without a doubt an incredible work.......just incredible.
Super band. Talent you don't see every day (2020..) Will always listen to their beautiful music! ☆
There are some songs and clips from Roger with an orchestra on the bonus footage of his video - Take the Long Way Home, Live in Montreal. And he will be performing with an audience in Stuttgart on July 6, 2013!
One of my favorite songs 😍. Supertramp has a lot of talent . All I can say amazing 🤩🤩🤩.
What a beautiful gift to WinstonChurchill!!
A Masterpiece! No doubt about it. Thank you, Roger!
Whenever I am feeling a bit blue I simply turn my frown right side up by listening to this Masterpiece. The mix of the orchestra instruments, piano, flute, creates a melancholy blend that is simply 'divine'.
This is actually the best sounding song I've ever heard.
Tenho 19 anos e essa música me faz sentir saudade de uma época que nem sequer vivi!!! Roger consegue sentir/fazer música como poucos e ainda transmitir para seu público com toda intensidade e simpatia do mundo. Uma verdadeira obra de arte
A Tamara quem planta só come com 100 anos você estará velhinha né
En qe año fue ?
