[@markusaurelius777]

Excellent! :)

[@woesjewoes]

Me too! And I am "only" 68. Saw them performing in the early '80's in a stadium in Amsterdam and never stopped loving Roger's voice and songs!

[@woesjewoes]

Saw Roger Hodgson performing with his own band several times in the Netherlands. Such a kindhearted man. He was the showstopper one night at the North Sea Jazz Festival and was supposed to stop at midnight. But the crowd was so enthusiastic he went on until 00.45 AM!

[@franciscocacador8743]

I live in a small city in Portugal. Last year Roger Came here to play in a Festival. I bought the tickets as soon as they were available. However, I had the fear that, as it happens with a lot of big-name musicians, he would come in, play for an hour and a half without much interaction with the crowd and leave, collecting an effortless paycheck (as a lot of Portuguese musicians have done in the same stage). The opening band was late but played the whole thing so my expectations were that Roger would leave at the hour he was supposed to, no matter what. I would like to apologize to Roger for I was totally wrong. He came in, he played his biggest hits with passion, he spoke to the crowd in Portuguese and played for a good 2, almost 3 hours. He went for so long that my girlfriend, exhausted, was begging me to leave before it even finished. It was without a doubt the best concert I've ever been to. .Thank you, Sir!

[@geoffpoole483]

That's hardly surprising. A few years ago he was severely delayed in getting to a festival on the Faroe Islands and began his set at 4 a.m. A lot of acts would have pulled out.

[@SloMo2723]

[@blamestormer9941]

I kind of disagree with Depeche Mode but I would put ELP and ELO to that list (and many more), knowing that all that fantastic 70's music was initiated by the Beatles who broke the might of music publishers and gave the musicians the power they need During the 80s the publishers took the lead again. The result is clear. Too bad...

What this wonderful musician has done for his fans is almost indescribable. My wife and I went to his concert in Adelaide three years ago and he made the crowd feel as if we were the most important people on the planet. Few musicians have such an aura and exude such generosity. My wife and I sing Supertramp hits at the top of our lungs on road trips through Australia. Combined we've both spent almost 120 years on this earth - blessed with the unique sounds of the seventies. What a time to be alive! Roger's band is magnificent. His musical genius will live on forever.

J'écoutais ce morceau quand j'avais 12 ans. C'était incroyable de se laisser aller dans la progression du morceau. Je ne comprenais pas grand chose, pourtant cette chanson m'imprégnais d'une ambiance assez proche du sens des paroles. Et puis il y a toute cette magie dans la spontanéité de ce morceau, une telle énergie et une générosité. Je reviens sans avoir entendu ce morceau pendant 35 ans, il m'a tellement manqué sans que je m'en rende compte. Plus jamais sans lui. Que c'est beau.

Yes, everybody seems to be overwhelmed by this genius music. But the lyrics are also important. This is even more valid for "The Crime Of The Century" written by Rick Davies.

Studied a lot at the library as a rock star taught me to do. Get smart enough to pass tests and improve my own life.
