There's a DVD of a film of the Paris show now. I've seen it, it's quite good! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I just recently downloaded Even in the Quietest Moments, and I really like the album. I've heard all of the songs they played on the radio all the time but I've never actually bought one of their albums. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Supertramp on headphones is amazing. They are up there with Steely Dan and Floyd in terms of best recording bands. So much to hear...I have a pretty good stereo system at home, and I love turning it up to 11 when this song comes up on shuffle You are absolutely right about "so much to hear". :haz: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dwarf Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Fantastic Band. Even in the Quietest Moments is a great album My favourite song on that album is Downstream. "Took A Boat Sunday,down by the sea. It felt so nice,you and me. We didn't have a problem,or a care. And all around was silence,everywhere " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 1979. Riding in my dads Chevy truck going camping or fishing, that was the song and I always remember hearing it on the radio on heavy rotation. Somgs like Take the Long Way Home burn into your subconscious and take you back to a time or place. I will always remember stuff like that when I was just a kid. Its simpler when you are young and have only memories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutman Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm so glad to see all this Supertramp love in the forum lately! :) The one time I had a chance to see them back in the late 70's I decided not to go. No real reason that I can recall. I regret it to this day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Love all of their studio work, but Paris is the album to take along on an island. Saw Roger a few years ago and I had tears in my eyes when he opened the set with Take The Long Way Home.His voice is still shiny. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudbuytjane Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Of note for fans of Paris: Did you know they released a bonus live disc with the 2010 Deluxe edition of Breakfast In America that has a lot of the songs from the Paris show that didn't make it to the live album (notably "Goodbye Stranger" and "Give A Little Bit"). It's worth checking out if you're a fan of the live album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also seems to be a wonderful person.His story always touches me. The man had both of his wrists broken and every doctor said that he won't be able to play guitar or piano anymore. He fought and chastened himself back and proved them all wrong.He's a musician with heart and soul and a lot of humility. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I don't know anything about them personally. What happened to Roger? And is he the harmonica player on Take The Long Way Home and other of their songs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The harmonica was Rick Davies, the other main songwriter and singer (I've always thought of Davies as their Lennon, and Hodgson as the McCartney :) ). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dwarf Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 What does everyone think of the post-Hodgson albums? Personally I think it's no coincidence that when Roger Hodgson departed the standard of the studio albums dipped considerably.Brother Where You Bound was fairly good,and then the rest were pretty average,if not awful! Hodgson's In the Eye of the Storm (1984)was good, as was Hai Hai.Shame Davies and Hodgson couldn't work out there differences! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Dwarf Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Is John Anthony Halliwell one of the most underrated musicians on the planet? His sax and clarinet solo's just oozes class! Particularly love his sax solo on My Kind of Lady! Watched the Paris 1979 concert again last night,and he really was the life and soul of the party! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
