CLASSIC ALBUMS LIVE SUPERTRAMP’S CRIME OF THE CENTURY

OCTOBER 18, 2024 / 8:00PM

This album was everywhere – in car stereos, parking lots, and basement parties. At one point, it was even speculated that Supertramp was Canadian, given their immense popularity there before the States. The album itself is a sonic masterpiece, seamlessly continuing where The Beatles left off musically, and matching Dylan in lyrical prowess. Its subtleties pose a challenge, like an invisible velvet rope; if you know, you know. Stepping into the ambiance of the early 70s, this album epitomizes that era. There’s a reason why cover bands rarely attempt their music— it’s complex. But the amazing musicians of Classic Albums Live have mastered it, note for note. Anything less would be a disservice.

What drives them to murder?

Do they share common traits that trigger mass-killings?

What motivates them to kill over and over again?

How do they choose their victims? Is it random or something more sinister?

Why do some women fall in love with these convicted killers?

And perhaps the most important question of all … why are we so fascinated by serial killers and true crime?

You will also get the chance to ask anything you have ever wanted to know about serial killers in a live Q & A session with Dr. Toles.
