Roger Hodgson of Supertramp, writer and composer of Give a Little Bit

It is incredible that Roger Hodgson, co-founder of Supertramp, had the vision to write his song, Give a Little Bit, while he was still in his teens, before he co-founded the band. This performance was filmed during a live radio interview in November 2010, with Kim Mitchell from Toronto's Classic Rock Q107. Roger's universal message in this classic is loved the world over. A timeless message that is embraced by all and is more relevant today than ever. If we all would just give a little bit, what a better place the world would be.
Roger also gave us Dreamer, Take the Long Way Home, Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, Hide in Your Shell, Fool's Overture, School, and many more. Roger is currently on tour and selling out shows all over the globe. Don't miss the opportunity to see Roger performing his timeless songs plus material from his amazing solo albums. www.RogerHodgson.com RogerHodgson

"This is the real deal: a legendary music man, in brilliant form and shimmering presence, supported by a tight, terrific band. When you can catch a show, go. An evening with Roger Hodgson will raise your standards of concert-going." Huffington Post
"I was so touched, your music resonated with my soul. So many memories of past times ignited, leaving me in tears at the finish....Your music has enhanced my life throughout the good the bad & the challenging times!"
"Wonderful experience last night; a great sense of shared warmth; for music that has been held for years inside individuals as their own, melded with their personal memories and feelings, that suddenly not only belongs to others gathered around too, but suddenly seems to belong to one man yet even more powerfully and deeply. Of course! It's the performer; the very creator and artist himself; it's HIS music, and he's playing it just a few yards away."
"Your show was just amazing. I was honestly a little teary by the end. Even better was that my children are still talking about it, as we have played your music for them since they were babies and they were so thrilled at the experience."
"Waited 27 years since Supertramp cancelled, missed the show 2 years ago and finally saw Roger and band last night WOW! close your eyes and you were listening to the album in your living room. Just one of the best original music men around today. Awesome show, enjoyed every song. A really nice, friendly atmosphere permeated the show, Thanks for the beautiful music, keep playing forever,You will never run out of fans!"

Roger’s voice is timeless and ageless at the same time!!👍🏻👍🏻

[@billjones8503]

Seen Roger last time 7 yrs ago. Voice sttill as good!

[@cyberdude721]

STILL HAS THAT AWESOME SOUND, THAT VOICE

[@magg93]

It's a superb classic. Very simple but unique, and an important messenger for every day that goes by.

[@gordonmitchell729]

Totally agree with you. I enjoyed the time that the German kids did the song on stage with Roger and the band. Great inspiration to all 🖖👀🎶🎶🎶

[@ferlvs]

This song sang "now" has the same impact on me as it had 30 years ago!!! Thank God! My son and I have been counting the days for April 26 (2012 - São Paulo, Brazil). God bless you always!

[@tedboyle8709]

I saw Supertramp live at Empire Stadium in Vancouver in 1977. Roger sounds as good in 2010 as he did 33 years earlier. MY FAVOURITE ALL TIME SONG!!

[@dasteelerfan1]

You sir are one of the finest composer / musicians on the planet thanks for all the wonderful music that you have shared with us all

[@Candyflyfish]

Totally in agreement with you Joe, the talent of Roger Hodgson in this song, has managed to generate a tsunami of solidarity, a great hymn for these moments of global difficulty.

[@gaetanolimonti1957]

Give Little me bit il capolavoro del grande Roger Hodgson dei Supertramp.che rimarrà nella storia musicale mondiale della musica .un brano che ci riempie di gioia.un forte abbraccio a Roger a Kim ed a candido.fantastic gaetano Limonti chitarrist from Italy.

[@racewithdevilonspanishhigh390]

Completely Agree!

[@gordonmitchell729]

Excellent just great! I wish I hadn’t lost my old Hagstrom 12 stringer 😮 mind you, that was in 1972 and I have relied on my strat copy ever since. This is a favorite song Roger, inspirational for sure 🖖👀🎶🎶🎶

[@c5back9]

My goodness, Roger! That is flat out beautiful!

[@monikapasekel1943]

A wonderful Song and Voice

[@miguelazarmendia8272]

One of the best songs of all time. Roger Hogdson will live forever in it.

[@bluegrassbeer1]

This sounds SOOOO good.

[@BruceLee-io9by]

Roger, you are AMAZING!!!!

[@denisehedden5108]

🥀Amazing interview with Rodgers and I love this song oh yeah it's that good 🥀☝️🥀

[@viewoftheaskew]

OMG 40 years later in a bone dry mic and he's NAILING it!

[@davidtee2812]

This Video is absolute GOLD! Supertramp was one of my all time favorite bands of the 70s/80s... nearly wore right through the vinyl on Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America... couldn’t get enough... this Vid is AMAZING!!! ❤️🎶❤️🎶

[@riyanasiriwaradana6950]

Really great voice... Incredible. Blessings

[@napper8]

Trying to learn this song right now! Such an all time great song and songwriter! 😊🙏🏽❤️

[@geraldrivard5767]

This sounded so raw but it sounded so good I'm impressed

[@anamariameneguini2543]

Acho Roger Hodgson um grande compositor e cantor! Ele canta e sempre sorri para os seus fans.

[@alangardner784]

Outstanding hard to beat

[@titteryenot4524]

Quite simply one of the best pop songs ever; if he’d retired at 19 after writing this he’d have contributed.

[@VictoryRRR]

Do you say that about Jack Drapers jawline 😂

[@FlipflopMount222]

Is that what you say when you're on gay videos hating on Christians because you're a closet case? Or when you're perving on Jack Draper and boasting about your "six languages"? 😂😂😂

[@FlipflopMount222]

Perv

[@ElvarMasson]

As soon as he played the first chord I was like "wow !!" 😉 I've been to his concerts twice and I can't wait to see him again...one can only hope

[@stringman509]

HI ROGER I SAW SUPER TRAMP AT WEMBLEY AND JUST LOVED IT. I'VE JUST BEEN LEARNING THE GUITAR AND THIS IS THE FIRST SONG I HAVE LEARNT JUST LOVE IT THANK YOU BEST WISHES COLIN UK

[@donnaduquaine3617]

[@Frank-bz2ub]

[@shawnstravelandlife1790]

Wow!! Still sounds great 👍

[@RogerDDog]

Such a great uplifting song, a song that can fill all the corners in a room.... if that makes any sense?

[@magg93]

It's a nice song to play on the streets!

[@marcelvandenheuvel5578]

At The end: ‘Pretty good’ bit of an understatement..

[@USAlien234]

I love how this song always sounds the same everytime he plays it. His voice never changes and all he needs is his 12 string.

[@fractalnomics]

Just beautiful .

[@BSnedeker]

Boy its sounds so good

[@AlexRodriguez-hi6oe]

Wow;;;👏👏👏 Roger’s 4ever,,,,,,,,

[@tonydean33]

Still got a great voice, hasn't changed!

[@twigberries7110]

This brings me back so many good times that I had.You see, I had such a bad life ,the first half of it anyway ,so I tried my best to block it out and forget it all.Now I am starting to cherry pick the few good times by looking back.This does bring back the good times.Thank you for this REALY from the bottom of my heart!

[@elioespindola4060]

Bravo. ..

[@MrSeb92100]

Je ne m'en lasse pas...cette chanson traverse vraiment le temps, ainsi que toutes les autres ! Je suis admiratif des fans de Roger qui ont pu le voir dans une dizaines ou vingtaines de concert a travers la France car ils ont beaucoup beaucoup de chance...La pression monte en moi chaque fois que je pense au concert de l'Olympia vendredi prochain !!!!!!!! Très originale cette idée de Roger de jouée Give a litte bit a la radio en tout cas ! :D

[@thegolfnut812]

Amazing that you can do a thumb over playing a 12 string. Great song, I remember when this first came out, I've listened to it a thousand times since and play it too.

[@talister106]

Supurb, bravo.

[@datank1010]

Such a great voice

[@scornetpomfret]

je suis Roger dans ses concerts depuis le 23 mai 2009, mon premier concert dont je suis sortie complètement subjugué, j'ai même poussé l'extravagance d'aller le voir en suisse dans le arènes d'Avanches, en Angleterre à Londres au RAH, et au Luxembourg. cette année avec le concert de l'Olympia je l'aurais sur scène 4 fois et 2 fois en back stage. c'est deux souvenirs d'une rencontre avec Roger en tête à tête vous donne vraiment l'envie de le suivre sur sa tournée "Breakfast in America" tour ♥

[@michaelsanchez3503]

Voice beatiful ♥️

[@bingus160]

the ad that played before this video was the supertramp coke ad...right before a video of roger hodgson singing...wtf

[@BBLORD1234567890]

alors, c'était comment le concert finalement? ;)

[@christele9095]

Let me see you 31 mai 2019 at Paris please

[@curtisclark13]

Is that Kim Mitchell? As in from Max Webster?

[@TheHappyjack1]

yes

[@curtisclark13]

Wow!!!! Very cool!!! I had no idea that he was a jock.

[@DrCherylMeier]

Thank you so much Roger! I think I started crying before you even started singing… 🥹🥰 the part about being 19, and believing in Love still ❤️ I learned this song about 4 years ago, (a very basic version) because I “heard” the last part playing in my heart when I was leaving this ancient site in Turkey called “Gobekli Tepe” (I didn’t know why! ) ✨✨✨ Here’s my cover with the travel pictures if you’d like to see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baqumKB7Ysd4qdk

[@dejahoje]

I´ve never seen him in black before...

[@misfit2022]

It this was written pre Supertramp, aged 19, why would you credit another songwriter?

[@Von0072]

Awesome.. John rzeznik also give this a nice try.

[@shortyktfc]

19! the guy was 19 when he wrote that!!!! man ive failed the human race!!! :-(

[@jacmeredith4892]

You have, because You're not putting apostrophes and a capital I when you write "I've"

[@titteryenot4524]

Mary Shelley was 19 when she wrote ‘Frankenstein’.

[@markfrost2707]

he's playing it wrong!!

[@GaryPfingstl]

Back when q107 was a good radio station.

[@GaryPfingstl]

I remember when Kim was max.😂 i miss max Webster and all the good music back in the 70s.
