He had a huge problem, half of his equipment flew to Cochabamba (his concert was scheduled in Santa Cruz that night) so he apologized and promised to do the best of himself. We had an extraordinary concert with his half band. After the concert, i stood out of outside waiting for him. I had the chance of meeting him. He asked me "how did you like the concert"?. I kissed his hands and i told him: Perfect Mr. Hodgson, perfect. Thanks in deed. What a great experience!!

In 1940 when Churchill gave that speech, stuff was NOT "about to go down." England declared war on Nazi Germany in 1939. They were already in the thick of it, hence the speech. As others have already stated, "Jerusalem" from Blake's poem, is practically the national anthem of England.

At those times many big bands would go through Vancouver, but very few of them had decent sound systems, Supertramp was one of them (as well as Yes and Moody Blues, Pink Floyd and David Bowie; all bands that were dramatic and fussy with their sounds). In these concerts you not only heard the music clearly, but you also felt the music in your body, and finally trip you off in mind-space. I love this song. So excited you reviewed it. Thank you.

And this is when he’s much older. For him to be able to pull this off is quite impressive. An absolute legend. Just a little bit of trivia. Supertramp were huge here in Montreal before they really made it big anywhere else. For some reason, they just clicked and the people here just took to them. They were playing sold out shows here before anywhere else. It’s the same with Styx and Genesis. Rodger and Dennis De Young from Styx and Chris DeBurgh were very good friends with the long time morning DJ from CHOM the classic Rock station. I grew up hearing them call in for years and years and they would talk music. Montreal has always had a love affair with the Prog Rock legends.

So... you're really a surprising reactor. I *never* expected *anyone* to react to Fool's Overture. It is a (one of many) favorite of mine from Supertramp. Beautiful and melodic, but never boring. Oh, yeah, I don't know anything about music apart from listening and loving what I love. It's just that most of my favorites don't seem to go well with most people. You explain a lot that goes right over my head, but my takeaway from it is that the piece is special and different and thus... perhaps... harder to enjoy for the general public. I don't know. I've only heard two reactions from you so far - both pieces that I love - and which you seemingly enjoy as well. At least you do a great job at describing what makes them different and stand out. I guess you've got a lot of fans that suggests really great music due to that. Can't wait to familiarize myself more to your reactions and get to know pearls of music that I've never heard before!

I was 6 years old when this album came out. My much older sister is a huge Supertramp fan and this is still one of my all time favorite songs.

I was fortunate to see him and his band in Philadelphia, in a small casino music hall, right before covid shut everything down.

One of my all time favourite songs. Supertramp one of my favourite bands. Also like Roger's solo albums.

Supertramp is soooo underrated. It's such a shame they're blocking almost all videos on KZbin. They will just disappear from people's memory, especially the younger generations.
