LIVE IN PARIS 1979

I loved the Paris album when it came out originally, and I've waited for years for the video release ever since hearing of the discovery of the footage. Having it on BluRay, offering the best possible reproduction of the frail 16 mm film is a dream come true. And the 5.1 sound is superb.

As to the controversy surrounding the release: I adore Roger Hodgson, but on this issue, I frankly think he is missing the point. This stuff needs to be available. End of story. Not listing the writers? Well - duh! Anyone buying Supertramp would know that Hodgson and Davies had a "Lennon/McCartney pact". And they can't even remember themselves any longer who wrote exactly what anyway. Rick Davies' objections seem even more obscure.

The other three members (and their original sound engineer) should be commended for overruling the feeble objections and securing the release.

Buy it: It is a priceless, timeless masterpiece. No prog collection should be without it.
