Anyone going/been to Roger Hodgson Tour?

Hi, I hope you do decide to go to Roger Hodgson's concert.   Give yourself a gift and go!  I saw him in February for the kick off of his Breakfast in America tour and it was amazing!   Hands down the best concert I have ever been to and I've seen everyone.   Anyone who was or is a Supertramp fan needs to see Roger, co-founder of Supertramp, in concert.   That voice of his is flawless and sounds even better than on my Supertramp vinyls, if that's possible.   Read some of the comments on his Facebook page and you will see what I'm talking about - http://www.facebook.com/RogerHodgsonOfficial.   Not only does he perform his classics at his shows, but he also plays fan favorites from his solo albums, which I might add, have sold millions of copies.

I cannot recommend enough going to experience a Roger Hodgson concert.  I ask you to ponder for a moment that you "have no interested in his solo stuff".... but that Rogers is the main driving force of Supertramp offering all but three of the group's biggest hits.  So.......his solo stuff is just an extension of the music you already love.  

To experience one of his concerts will confirm this, for he offers himself to the sea of faces before him and presents musically a sound and visual show that can literally take you off your feet or put you on them depending on how you respond to his performances.  

I could not be happier to hear you have tickets and ask, would you please let us know your experiences after his show?

Also, I want to thank you for continuing to bring "Supertramp" to this blog and the front of peoples minds.

I liked "in the eye of the storm" and "hai hai" much, much more
than I liked anything by Supertramp.

I won't recommend Hai Hai. I'd recommend to listen to In The Eye of the Storm and Open the Door. Open the Door I would call "the best Supertramp album that is not from Supertramp..."
But as this thread is about the tour: I was there and I liked it. He does not play much of his solo stuff, though.

Completely agree with Bj-1. If you remotely like or love Supertramp, it's a must see. Most of the songs were Supertramp with a few exceptions. Since I have nearly every Tramp album, before the concert started I bought In The Eye Of The Storm, since I knew I'd want to buy it by the time the concert's done.

I was glad to hear he didn't play mainly Breakfast, but all of their albums. Including... CRIME OF THE CENTURY. So there was a great mixture there. Surprised he didn't play his hit from In The Eye (Had A Dream) and also didn't play the song Even In The Quietest Moments, but you can't get every song..

Overall, his voice is still the same as it was. Only difference is he can't keep the duration of some of the notes, but that's such a small complaint that it doesn't seem relevant. He ended the show (besides the encore, as you can guess, Give A Little Bit) with Fool's Overture. Stunningly great, my favorite from Supertramp song. Almost reminiscent of Genesis in a way. (Genesis is the #1 band I'd like to see in concert)

Hope I didn't spoil anything, but only to reassure fans of Supertramp to see if Roger Hodgson is playing in your city. Worth the money by far.
