Glad you liked the piece, bowiefan1970. And amen on Bowie’s body of work. But I wouldn’t count him out just yet. He’s said he’ll return if he has something “interesting” to say. To me, even marginal Bowie is interesting. –M P

Excellent post, Mark! One could analyze Bowie’s work for a lifetime and it would not grow tedious. Too bad David has apparently retired, but he left an amazing body of work, all the way up to “Reality” and the amazing “A Reality Tour”, one of his best live recordings. Keep up the good work!

Good article on Roger Hodgson concert in Hinckley, Minnesota, March 2, 2012.
I agree with many of the things that are exposed to it. I really like the way to define Roger, “genuine”, a very appropriate word to express how your music sounds and songs today, the original music group Supertramp. His voice is even better than its beginning and its experience makes it sound really great in their live concerts.

Had a dream, is a song that in the U.S. is much appreciated, I have observed in many of the comments from people of that country. I also like very much, by his energy and pace, and because of the first songs he recorded his first solo album ….

Aaron, to me is part of the music of Roger, is a musician who has adapted to the needs of these songs, creating the perfect sound to match the original sound of music and songs when they were created originally.As special thanks to Linda Tyler you describe in the last section, I would also from here that thanks to her, today we have the great satisfaction and pleasure of Roger at present live concerts, Linda is a magical woman, sensitive and sweet …., great professional ….

Roger Hodgson returns to the stage with all the force of his music and all the energy of his heart. A treat for the senses, enjoy one of the universal geniuses in the history of music. With his magnificent repertoire, his unmistakable voice, and musical quality, he will engrave an unforgettable moment in your memory. If you want to increase your happiness, this is your show. It will create a totally positive feeling. I’m sure when the show is over, you’ll be thinking about the next one. Roger connects with his audiences in an extraordinary way. If your goal is to attend a show where there are no barriers between music and the heart, this is your show.

For additional information about the songs you’ll hear during Roger’s live performances, you can visit his Official Channel on YouTube http://www.Youtube.com/MrRogerHodgson

Great review!!!, you capture a lot what happen in a Roger’s show, how magical he is!!
His songs and voice sound today better than ever as you well pointed in your article.

Good songs don’t need much decoration, when you have good songs all you have to do is play them and empty yourself, leave the heart in each one, and that’s what Roger does, and that’s why his shows are so special, because , when you attend to one of his concerts, you feel you have to see him once and another, no matter how far you have to travel. It’s worth!!!

I haven’t seen ever such communication between Artist and his audience, as Roger does, all the feelings you can experienced: It’s a thrill, a blast, chills and goosebumps, all at the same time… without forget his sense of humour.

Thanks again for let us to live so amazing show as if we were there!!
After reading, I’m pretty much looking forward to see him again in Spain this year

It’s great to know that Roger is on tour again this year, because attend to one of his concerts is a pleasure, we can enjoy all that songs he wrote and form our own soundtrack. Many of us, grew up listening to his voice during the time he was involved in Supertramp.

We are very fortunate to can enjoy his shows, his unique voice and charisma. The comunication between artist and audience is special. He performs with great success, solo shows, with orchestras or with his fantastic band, bringing the spirit of Supertramp all around the world.

It’s a thrill, a blast, chills and goosebumps, all at the same time… So, nobody should miss a concert of Roger. It’s really worth!!!

Roger is an artist who understands the strong connection with the faces before him and embraces his fans. From the first steps onto the stage to the last notes played, Roger and his band connect with the people and leaving you feel recharged and uplifted. For days afterwards, you find yourself humming his music, taking lighter steps and smiling when memories of his performance flow through your head.

Roger has spend the better part of the last ten years offering us his music; “Give a Little Bit, Dreamer, Logical Song, Long Way Home, Breakfast in America” and his voice……what a gift. He has remembered and given back to the sea faces before him, for many of us, we will never forget that…..
Check out his website for date: http://www.rogerhodgson.com/documents/tour.html

Go see one of his performance, It will stay with you……

In an age where musicianship comes second to “showmanship”, Roger proves that there are still performers out there that believe in, and can deliver both, for real.

Counting the days until Roger Hodgson’s shows in Temecula, CA later this month. This will be my third year seeing him and I can’t wait. Roger puts on more than a concert. He gives his audience a feel-good feeling like no other artist I have seen. Everyone is singing, laughing, dancing. His shows are amazing.

That voice of his is flawless and sounds even better than it does on my Supertramp vinyls. It was always the songs that Roger sang that I loved best and now I know why. Roger and the other Supertramp co-founder, Rick Davies, shared writing credit but they each actually wrote and composed separately. The contrasts between the two are so very apparent. What a poet Roger is.

Give yourself a gift and get to one of Roger’s shows. I have seen many, many artists live over the years and he is by far the best. Check out his Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/RogerHodgsonOfficial.

What a nice surprise. I absolutely love this album! Stubb A Dub is my favorite song, but there are numerous great tracks. This album is great for mental acuity, because it is complex as hell! I used to sing along with this cd in the car and drive my girlfriend crazy. GREAT POST!
