Live in Paris Montage - Roger Hodgson (co-founder of Supertramp)

Imagine an artist who actually smiles and is obviously enjoying himself on stage - this is Roger Hodgson, co-founder of Supertramp. That smile of his is contagious and his songs are loved the world over. Roger's evergreen classics have been enjoyed by three generations and are still played on the radio - over 30 years after they were released! Roger is currently on his world tour, performing his classics plus stunning material from his solo albums. http://www.RogerHodgson.com http://www.facebook.com/RogerHodgson

Roger Hodgson has been recognized as one of the most gifted composers, songwriters and lyricists of our time. The songs Roger sings that are often referred to as Supertramp songs are songs that Roger wrote and composed alone - that is how he creates music. Even though Roger and Rick shared writing credit, they each wrote and composed separately. Roger wrote many of the band's hits while he was still in his teens, before he even met Rick. When Roger was with Supertramp, he would make a demo of the song and bring it to the band for them to learn their parts. Supertramp as a band never wrote and composed together. There were only two songwriters for the band. The songs Roger sings lead vocals on are the ones he composed the music and lyrics for, and the songs Rick sings lead vocals on are the ones that he wrote. http://bit.ly/1Kfgu0W

"It's music from the heart... every lyric, every note, and every strum are done with wholesome love and passion. It's a kind of music that makes you happy no matter what mood you're in. It's the kind of music that makes you glad to be alive and able to enjoy the wonders of life :)"

"Last night I saw you at the Palais and was totally blown away.I have waited to see you live since 1970 when I first started listening to Supertramp. Your music has been with me through my teen years, the birth of my children and for many of my life events. Each song holds different memories. Seeing you live I was thrilled by the passion that you bring to life in each of those songs. I had tears running down my face at one point with such sheer delight. Thank you so much for your music past, present and future."

"I could have closed my eyes and been transported back to the 70's , such was the quality of performance. Thank you Roger and crew for such a great show , your music has trancended the generations and your warmth and gentle nature just made the evening truly memorable."
