News: Legendary British Rock Outfit Supertramp Announce Tour

(UK) Legendary British rock band Supertramp will be returning to London this Winter as they play the O2 Arena on December 7th as part of their Supertramp Forever Tour .

Having sold over 60 million records, Supertramp are without a doubt rock royalty. Their first European dates in over five years, which take in 26 arenas in France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and the UK, stand testament to this band’s enduring appeal.

Joining Supertramp’s founder, lead singer and keyboardist, Rick Davies, are legendary Supertramp members John Anthony Helliwell, saxophones and woodwinds, and Bob Siebenberg, drums. Veterans of past Supertramp tours, Jesse Siebenberg, lead vocals, guitars and percussion, Cliff Hugo, bass, Carl Verheyen, guitars, Lee Thornburg, horns, Gabe Dixon, vocals and keyboards, and Cassie Miller, background vocals, will once again round out the lineup.

The Supertramp Forever Tour  will also feature the much-heralded return of Mark Hart, vocals, guitars and keyboards, to the Supertramp lineup.

Rick Davies, along with set and lighting designer, Michael Brian Duncan, is planning a new stage production that will provide the audience with a total audio and visual Supertramp experience. The show promises to be a historic evening featuring classic album tracks, long forgotten gems and many of their hits including Bloody Well Right, Dreamer, From Now On, Goodbye Stranger, The Logical Song, Rudy and many, many more.

It is just not the same – Supertramp without songwriter/cofounder Roger Hodgson = not Supertramp! Roger wrote many of the greatest hits and faves ( , , , , , , , and on..) Current band lineup consists of 10 people, the dynamics of the band are entirely different. Personally I feel because Roger wrote and sang many of the songs we all grew up with, it is more true and genuine to the original sound to see Roger perform them himself. I was completely bowled over by Roger’s last concert at the Albert Hall, looking forward to seeing him return in Apr 2016 – for now, I have tix to see him in Oxfordshire this summer in July !!

No one can sing Roger Hodgson’s songs like Roger and pity those who try. Why see an imitation when you can see the original? Roger, voice and co-founder of Supertramp, will be at Cornbury on July 12 and Albert Hall April 29, 2016. I’ve booked my tickets for both shows and can’t wait. It is Roger who gave us Supertramp’s greatest hits to include The Logical Song, Dreamer, Breakfast in America, Take the Long Way Home, Give a Little Bit, Fool’s Overture, It’s Raining Again, School, and so many more.

Supertramp interview: Are Rick and Roger ever going to reunite?

Supertramp saxophonist John Helliwell on reunion possibilities, surviving punk, the Paris live album and more

The last time Prog saw John Anthony Helliwell, back in 2010, he was on stage at the O2 Arena, leading the current version of Supertramp through a show packed full of the group’s many, many hits. 

Today we’re having breakfast. Not in America, but at least in an American diner (located, however, in London’s Covent Garden), while being treated to crystal clear HD renditions of a selection of material from Supertramp’s long-awaited Live In Paris ’79 – a belated film companion to the band’s 1980 live album.

“Where you there?” he asks of the O2 gig. “I think it makes for an interesting comparison – to see us play live now, twice as old, and then see something like this. I think it compares very well.”

So too does the jacket Helliwell’s proudly displaying. It’s the very same one he’s wearing in the film, 30-odd years before. We may be three decades-plus down the line, but the trim saxophonist has worn the years very well. As indeed have the celebrated songs we’re hearing and Helliwell’s own still-amusing song introductions – “Being in Paris always makes me feel very logical” – and pun-laden lead intro Breakast In America itself.

What’s it like for you to find yourself watching the you from 1979? “It brings back happy memories. There was a good power there between the five of us in the group at that time. We really seemed to gel well, and I think this film shows it.”

Then – as now, it seems – you were very much the MC or showman of the band, holding everything together and playing up to the audience. “Well, it is a role that was handed to me, simply because the others didn’t want to do it [laughs]. When we did our first major tour with Crime Of The Century , back in 1974, we thought that the music was very serious. What we used to do back then was open with what was side one of Crime… , do some other numbers, and then end with the second side of Crime… . We felt we should talk to the audience, but no one else wanted to do it, so it fell to me. Slight comic relief maybe, not too serious, and we just carried on like that.”

The Paris show captured in the film was on the back of the enormous success of Breakfast In America , when the band were arguably at their commercial peak. What do you remember about that time? “ Breakfast In America had just come out, and was an enormous success. That was a really long tour as well. We started in March and actually finished about four gigs after Paris in December.”

Was it strange to find yourselves in the position you were in at the time, playing the biggest shows of your career and yet, with the advent of punk, effectively being written off as ‘past it’ – despite only being in your 30s? “Well, here in the UK we were, but not anywhere else. You’ve just got to accept it. In general, the British music press were very supportive when we were in the ascendancy, from 1974 onwards. But when we moved to California, it changed. Maybe they never forgave us for moving to the States. And then our popularity increased, and maybe it’s the old thing of knocking them off their perch. Now we find it difficult to play in the States, but in Europe we’re still really big. We’ve had a smaller, loyal following here in the UK, and we still play here.”

The 2010 O2 show was impressively packed. “Yes, but it was the only UK show we played. I don’t know why, I’m just the saxophone player, I’m not privy to the management decisions, etc… But that was quite heartening, that crowd. Although we do know we’re not right up there any more.”

I suppose it goes with the territory though – the longer a career goes on, the work rate slows down a bit, and touring becomes more laborious… " I actually have to say that I really enjoy touring. But as I said, it’s up to Rick [Davies] when we tour, because he’s in charge. Back in the 70s it was a nice democratic organisation. But it’s not any more. It’s an oligarchy [laughs].”

What was life like on the road back then? “We semi-shunned publicity. We didn’t blow into town in limousines and things. There’d be occasions when we’d fly in to town, and we’d place the road crew in the limos and we’d go in hire cars. At other times after soundcheck, we could wander out into the crowd and they wouldn’t know who we were, especially in North America. That was nice really, because we were in it for the music, not the personalities.”

What exactly is the state of play with Supertramp now? “It’s Rick’s band, because he owns the name and he’s the one writer left since Roger departed. We still make albums, although they’re not as popular as Breakfast In America – but they do okay, and we’re pleased with what we’ve done. And we still sound good on stage. So we work when Rick wants to. We might be doing some gigs in 2013, and of course Europe is our biggest place to play.”

The one question we’d get lynched by ’Tramp fans if we didn’t ask, although I’m sure you’ve heard it too many times: any chance of a reunion with Roger? “That question keeps rearing its head. Rick and Roger met up and tried to get something together, prior to us touring in 2010. But negotiations failed, so Roger wasn’t around on that. My opinion on it all is: it’s possible, but doubtful, that they would get together on a tour like that. But it would be nice to have a reunion of just the five of us; that would be very nice. I’m up for it. All the time, I’ve been up for it. But it’s not just them, it’s managements and other things as well.”

Classic Albums Live - Supertramp

Breakfast in america, event details.

Supertramp took over where The Beatles left off. 

With fantastic arrangements, soaring vocals and deft musicianship - Supertramp found their way into your heart. 

“Goodbye Stranger” is a song I sang to my sons when they were little. 

“The Logical Song” makes you believe in hope. 

Back in the day, I worked in the record department of a department store. 

I’d blast Breakfast in America and, as though in a trance, 

people would buy the album. 

It’s an album that accompanies us through life.

The two distinct vocals within Supertramp are, like the Beatles, the secret ingredient. 

When rehearsing the album we spent a lot of time 

getting all the layered vocals they’re complex, melodic and full of meaning 

and the sound becomes a siren of joy.

Supertramp ruled the 80s with Breakfast in America. 

The album was everywhere. Hit after hit. 

Funny - the one song that wasn’t released as a single is my personal favourite track - “Child of Vision”.

It’s a deep, uptempo, hypnotic song that sends the listener on a trip. 

We’ll be performing that song and the rest of the album 

in a way that no one else in world does; 

note for note - cut for cut.

Supertramp (formed in 1969) is an English progressive rock and pop band, founded by Rick Davies, hailing from London, England.

From the ashes of Rick Davies’ previous group The Joint, which had been funded by Dutch millionaire Stanley August Miesegaes, Davies, with the backing of Miesegaes, formed Supertramp. Alongside bassist and vocalist Roger Hodgson, guitarist Richard Palmer, and percussionist Keith Baker, who was soon replaced by Robert Millar, the group made their debut at the P. N. Club in Munich, Germany. With a repertoire of only four songs, including two covers, the band, previously dubbed Daddy, changed their name to Supertramp – inspired by William Henry Davies’ “The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp”.

The band’s eponymously-titled debut album was released in 1970 after being one of the first bands to sign with A&M Records. With a sound reminiscent of British progressive rock band Cressida, the album earned positive reviews from critics however lacked a large audience. After the release both Palmer and Millar left the group due to conflicts and were replaced by Frank Farrell and Kevin Currie respectively. Supertramp’s sophomore album “Indelibly Stamped” was released in 1971 with songwriting responsibilities falling to Hodgson and Davies. The album proved even less popular than its predecessor and resulted in all members except Hodgson and Davies departing the group.

By this point Miesegaes had stopped funding the band and Supertramp were in the market for new musicians to join its ranks. The new line-up, as of 1973, included Bob Siebenberg on drums, John Helliwell on saxophone, Douggie Thompson on bass, alongside Davies and Hodgson. In 1974 Supertramp released their third studio album “Crime of the Century” which marked the band’s breakthrough into the mainstream. Spawning the singles “Dreamer” and “Bloody Well Right” the album charted at No. Four in the UK, No. 38 in the U.S., and No. One in Canada.

Feeling the pressure of their breakthrough album and rushed to complete its successor, Supertramp released “Crisis? What Crisis?” in November 1975. Featuring leftover songs from “Crime of the Century” the band regard the album as one of their worst despite its popular reviews from critics. Supertramp’s follow-up album “Even in the Quietest Moments…” released in 1977, aided by the single “Give a Little Bit”, was another popular gestalt album reaching No. 12 in the UK.

Following the album Supertramp relocated to California, U.S., and released their highest charting album to date “Breakfast in America”. Released in March 1979, the album reached No. Three in the UK, and No. One in the U.S and Canada. Aided by the popular singles “The Logical Song”, “Goodbye Stranger”, “Take the Long Way Home”, and “Breakfast in America”, the album was supported by a record breaking 120-date world tour. After “Breakfast in America” the band took a break from touring and recording, later releasing the two disc live LP “Paris” in 1980.

During the hiatus Hodgson moved to Northern California with his family to build a studio and focus on his spirituality. Around this time Hodgson and Davies found it harder to share a mutual musical middle ground and seemed to grow further apart with the geographical distance. Supertramp’s seventh studio album “Famous Last Words” was released in 1982 and spawned the singles “It’s Raining Again” and “My Kind of Lady”. Following the release Hodgson, the band’s lead vocalist, left the group to focus on solo material and his family. With Davies at the fore, Supertramp’s follow-up album “Brother Where You Bound” was issued in 1985 featuring guitar solos from Pink Floyd’s David Gilmore.

In a move towards the electronically-induced synthetic sounds, the band’s 1987 album “Free as a Bird” was dismissed by fans and critics alike, however the single “I’m Beggin’ You” reached No. One on the US dance chart. Following a supporting tour, where Hodgson-penned songs were played to a minimum, the band decided to take a break which would last until 1996. The reunion resulted in the studio album “Some Things Never Change” in 1997, and the live album “It Was the Best of Times” in 1999, followed by “Slow Motion” in April 2002.

Live-Bewertungen

As much as documentaries and books would like to make you think differently, practically no-one in the seventies listened to any of the cool music that came out in the seventies. The Ramones? Kraftwerk? Joy Division? They were nobodies, obscurities that most people wrote off as hipster nonsense, if they were aware of them at all. After writing those classic artists off, the ones with taste would go back to listening to Supertramp. Sometimes quality does lead to popularity and their brand of prog infused soft rock may have made them one of the most popular bands in the world at the time, but when they were that good, both live and on record, they deserved it as much as anyone else did. What’s apparent today is that while founding member and main songwriter Roger Hodgson is no longer in the foil the rest of the band gel better than ever. Needless to say the instrumental chops are impeccable, which would come from nearly half a century of experience but it is inspiring to watch. Rick Davies more than makes up for Hodgson’s absence by providing lead vocals for the band and saxophonist John Helliwell is our host for the night, introducing the songs and interacting with the crowd with an easy charm. Supertramp then, at this point there’s never going to be any surprises, but when a band has hits like Breakfast in America, Bloody Well Right, The Logical Song and Goodbye Stranger, and can still put on a show that’s fun of the highest order, who needs surprises?

The current lineup of Supertramp is just not the same without Roger Hodgson. Roger's voice is very distinct and the songs he wrote are the signature sound of Supertramp (The Logical Song, Dreamer, Take the Long Way Home, Breakfast in America, Give a Little Bit, School , Fool's Overture, It's Raining Again to name just a few). I saw the most recent lineup of Supertramp for their 2011 tour, and was disappointed into thinking Roger would be performing with them especially because of all the promotions going around using Roger's voice, but when I got to the venue it was Mark Hart singing Roger's songs at which point I had left the venue, went right home and read more about Roger (thankfully discovered he is still actively touring) and that I still had the opportunity to experience the songs in concert from the original songwriter with the genuine "Supertramp sound".

Roger co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and though many of his songs are recognized as Supertramp songs, they were solely composed by Roger. I've left all thoughts about seeing this version of Supertramp behind, and am glad to have discovered Roger Hodgson and his more personal, connected concert experience, thankfully with many shows to look forward to this year.

Supertramp, the iconic London rock group who achieved great success in the 70's and 80's are still touring to their legions of devoted fans globally. Packed into the spanning O2 Arena, the audience is a combination of those original fans who are well into their 70s along with those who simply enjoy the band's legacy and style.

As the bombastic guitar riffs begin and the flared lighting illuminates the entire arena the crowd roar in excitement. The veteran rockers launch themselves onto the stage like a band half their age, the singalongs to 'Breakfast in America' and 'Gone Hollywood' are deafening as Roger Hodgson evokes even louder cheers from the baying crowds.

The band were such an important influence on progressive rock and so many of their albums have affected modern music. Therefore the choice in setlist is questionable, yet all the hits are there and the audience cheer for 'Goodbye Stranger' and 'It's Raining Again'. The band leaves their fans with sore throats, tired legs and happy hearts.

I've known and followed Supertramp from the first album, clearly everything changed after songwriter Roger Hodgson left the band in 1983. The dynamics of the band completely changed; Supertramp in their prime had 5 members... now 10 members this year. Not the Supertramp I saw in the 70s, there just isn't the same chemistry and it is difficult and uncomfortable sitting through other musicians performing Roger's songs just to hear a handful of Rick's songs. Then seeing Roger at the Royal Albert Hall in 2013 re-ignited the feelings and immersive aural experience I once had seeing Tramp in '75 & '79. Roger was a tour de force, nailed the harmonies and a set filled with both classic faves and deep track highlights, it had more depth and authenticity of the Supertramp I once knew. Didn't hesitate to book when I discovered Roger's returning to Albert Hall, I know from the start it will be a more fulfilling show and wouldn't chance another disappointment seeing "Supertramp".

I saw both Supertramp and the band's co-founder, Roger Hodgson, on their respective tours in 2010. I can honestly say there is no comparison and I have made it a point to see Roger live several times since. While Rick has some great songs of his own, there is nothing better than seeing Roger singing the songs he wrote - Give a Little Bit, Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, Take the Long Way Home, Dreamer, Fool's Overture, It's Raining Again, School, and so many more. His voice is so unique that absolutely no one else can do his songs justice. It is Roger Hodgson who truly gives me the essence and spirit of Supertramp. I can't wait to see him again this year on his Breakfast in America World Tour.
