Roger Hodgson - Fool's Overture [Live in Vienna 2010]

[@GuyMorey]

To imagine that someone sat down and wrote this song is truly incredible. There is so much going on in this song, and the fact that is has been tied together so well, is a testament to the genius of Roger Hodgson. In the 70s, I had all of Supertramp's albums as a teenager and saw them several times in concert. An incredibly talented group of musicians. Back when music was real, instruments were real, and live music was real. I miss those days.

[@jeanlehoux4582]

I saw Supertramp a few times also, and for me they were perfection. I was there when they ended their final tour as Supertramp, in Montreal. Two nights in a row and I was there both times. At end of the last song, the group leaves the stage and the video takes over and the lights in the arena come on, and all the 20 some thousands are still standing in their seats, even after the music stopped. It was like that both nights, after about 2 hours and a half without interruption. You don’t see that theses days, because nobody knows how make music. Except old groups that are still around,or come back for another final tour. Thanks for the memories.

The sax in Supertramp music was always the best sax among all other groups using this instrument.

[@YouRich92]

OK, but sax's sound balance on this gig is especially bad. Way to loud. The performer seems quite good but the result relatively poor.

[@MrSolarstu]

@@YouRich92 You need to get yourself to spec savers, get your ears sorted, it was perfection in my opinion.

[@davidlambert7725]

@@YouRich92 I don't know at what level of ability you'd grade a sax player as Good, Very good or even Excellent - as opposed to, "Quite good", but I've been playing sax since the age of 14 (that's 55 years) and rate him as excellent. If you're a sax player and that's your professional opinion then I'd very much like to know who you rate above the grade of Quite good. Are you referring to the alto or soprano solo's, or both perhaps? As for the sound balance. I think the sound engineer knows exactly what he's doing and the sax player certainly knows how to implement the tonal demands and volume through his bell mic.

[@magneto7930]

I'm guessing this is Aaron Macdonald. I saw him playing with Roger in 2010, of which I took video. He's a great player.

[@shawnbooth3696]

Nah, gotta say that the sax on Gerry Rafferty’s stuff was just a wee bit better-‘tis not bad though 😉

[@peetsnort]

When I was young.. No pun intended I was a soldier in south Africa. Scared as most young guys This song was a hit. I am 64 now. How good is life now. Don't worry kids about the middle east. Nothing changes.

[@vanhetgoor]

I once heard a story and I believe it is true, Sir Winsten Churchill was not very fond of going to the radio studio for a speech, he had better things to do, and therefore he sent an actor who read his speech for him, the actor use the same intonation and tone of voice. And nobody noticed. A marvellous performance. Millions in Europe found hope and strength in these words and Sir Winston Churchill was not physically present, only in spirit.

[@turdwranglers2517]

I was driving cab in Vancouver in 1983 when they came and did their farewell tour, I couldn't get the night off to go to the concert so in protest .... I went to the east airlock of BC Place, turned the cab sign off and enjoyed the concert; I didn't need to see them playing it but it would have been better in the overall scheme of things ... but this was a close 2nd.
