Supertramp 02

EyesClosed

anybody get tickets? or know anything about this?

It's being billed as the 70-10 tour, effetively a fortieth anniversary show. I saw it was going on sale, but like the last time they played the Point, Roger Hodgson isn't with them, so - no disrespect to Rick Davies - I don't see the purpose of it. I think it's a bit over-ambitious to put them in the O2 as well. I don't dispute they have some classic tunes (and Breakfast In America is a great album), but in the current climate, I can't see it selling particularly well.

This is the type of gig that curiosity would get the better of me IF the price was right , but at €70-odd per ticket I'll give it a miss ....

Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson have a deal where neither will sing the songs the other wrote. So just look at the songs Hodgson wrote because you will not hear them on the night in the 02. This has put me off going.

I heard that although they had a deal Rick Davies didn't honour it and they are singing Roger's songs. I hope so because we got tickets.

Just watch out for the setlist from the first gig on the tour. Will be interesting to see as Hodgson has in the last couple of days asked Davies to stick to their deal.

I wish they'd put their differences behind them and tour together.

well if it is a greatest hits tour you would expect to hear breakfast in america the logical song and dreamer which were written by hodgson

from reading that it seems anyone who has tickets (like myself) will hear all the classics, kinda sucks for hodgson though.

According to their website they are doing to old songs:

According to this article Roger Hodgson is the voice of Supertramp so based on that I don't think I'll bother if he is not going to be in the band.

The setlist looks good alright. One of the last bands on my list to see. The inner prog will make an appearence.

I just had a look at last nights set list from London's O2. The same as previous gigs. It looks impressive, but sadly no 'Fools Overture'. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/supertramp/2010/o2-arena-london-england-23d52823.html

Overall a great show !
Fabulous musicians, some good old fashioned tunes and a great crowd [ including the usual idiots who spend all evening chatting and eating their Taytos ]

Anybody else got the USB recording of the show ?

13 - Another Man's Woman - Supertramp - 70-10 Tour - Live in Dublin - 08.10.2010

Thanks

mine stops at 13 also, whats missing, great gig though, it was more of a night to soak it all in, thats another off the list, thought i wouldn't get that one....

magnumlady

How much was the usb? Just to be nosey.
I didn't get to the gig, I gave my ticket to my son. He and my husband had a great time.

tim63

usb was 25, now the stranglers in sligo on friday....

Just a bunch of incredibly talented musicians playing great tunes, no gimmicks or fireworks. Exactly how I like it

ok just downloaded the encores using the code in the box : it includes all track from 14 to 20

What a great night. The faint aroma of Patchouli oil and Sandlewood in the air. The appearence of many men wearing Linen Grandad shirts and Linen jackets, convivial drinks, shockingly civilised but most of all honest to goodness wonderful music.

Have long being a big fan of Supertramp and Roger Hodgson has being touring this year and will be into 2011 .

The reviews on his website are very enthusiastic .

Agree with everything you have said, hard to get bands like them anymore, bring back Queen

magnumlady

Did anyone else find the voices were drowned out in places?
Hubby said it was really hard to hear the singing where they were sitting and some muppet kept yelling 'Turn it up'.

tim63

definitely not loud enough, thought it was me being a bit deaf , at least with the usb you can turn it up, great gig though....
