What a lot of people don’t know is that he is quite an export of a musician, with most of his success being in America! He makes various jibes about this throughout this set, sporting a fantastic humour throughout. He is exceptionally skilled, writing songs that just get stuck in your head.
Accompanying himself on piano, and guitar, this musician plays songs such as “In Jeopardy” and “Had a Dream (Sleeping with the Enemy)”. To this day he is still singing in his tenor head voice, which was one of the recognizable beacons of his former band, Supertramp. Strangely enough, I always associated Supertramp with Pink Floyd in my late elementary school days. Either way, he could perform anything to this audience tonight and they would lap it up. Tonight he performs a slew of the most successful songs that he has ever written with some of his solo material thrown in for good measure. He is the brain behind their biggest hits to date. Roger Hodgson who is originally from the south coast of England, in a place called Portsmouth, rose to success as the singer of progressive rock giants, Supertramp. Setlist: Take the Long Way Home, School, In Jeopardy, Lovers in the Wind, Breakfast in America, Sister Moonshine, Hide in your Shell, Lord is it Mine, The Logical Song, Death and a Zoo, If Everyone was Listening, Had a Dream, Give a Little Bit. IF you every have the opportunity to see Roger Hodgson, I strongly encourage you see one of his shows.you will be taken in both spiritually and emotionally as you sing along with some of the favorites and be amazed at the amount of songs you remember that will bring back many memories.įavorite moment: Too many to choose from but he did play In Jeopardy which was my favorite. This particular show my wife and I had front row seats and felt like he was playing in our living room! With so many hits he wrote from his days with Supertramp and several solo albums there was more than enough material for him to choose from.only wish he could have played for another hour to cover some of my favorites! Song: Zip-a-dee-do-dah (First Day of School) The Tootsee Roll by 69 Boyz was another 90s dance participation song that was. His voice is still incredible and still manages to reach those high octaves which is signature for many of his songs. Supertramp followed an unusual path to commercial success in the 1970s, fusing the stylistic ambition and instrumental dexterity of progressive rock with. I've seen him early on with only Aaron and him, with an orchestra, and with his band. I have seen Roger Hodgson 7 times.many friends think I'm crazy but I never enjoy a better show than Roger when it tours within diving distance of Rochester.
I was going to say the same thing about Mad World followed by School.
