I second your emotion, tipps. Supertramp were great even though they were a different ballgame than The Rolling Stones i e not really a rock and roll band: more of a symphonic rock band.

Supertramp was always limp-d-ck, weenie rock, even in their heyday. Take the short way home, and shut the hell up during your journey.

I've never understood why they aren't playing together these days?

There are problems between them now though. Roger is very upset that he wasn't invited to take part in the band's (IIRC) 40th anniversary concerts/festivities, and he's not pleased that they continue to play his songs.
I didn't appreciate them much back when they were popular. However, I saw a DVD of a solo concert that Hodgson did in Montreal and it was great, very moving.
Actually he's one year younger (born July 22, 1944) than Sir Mick, and Roger Hodgson is three years younger than Ronnie Wood.Quote

Thanks Ben for the info. I also lost interest after Famous... They played Vancouver on June 2nd this year. It was worth every cent. I figured I better see them now as I never have and this could be the last time. Davies is two years younger than Jagger. Wonder who will last longer. I'm still waiting for a kind US soul to tell me if they played the US this year. Couldnt find anything on Google.

You are mistaken. On their web site it says Davies did have a talk with Roger and he was not interested in the reunion.

Try and find a live CD called 'If Anyone Was Listening' It was recorded in London in 1975 (despite claims to be from the US Tour) It's a fantastic snapshot of the band on the way up. I was lucky enough to see them on this tour at the Bournemouth Winter Gardens in Nov 1975, and it still is one of the best gigs i've ever attended.

How does "Logical Song" sound when the guy who wrote it and sang it with emotions is not there to perform it? It would be like having Paul McCartney singing "Imagine" on stage I think...

to answer tipps original question, Supertramp has not scheduled any US dates, which is kind of surprising as they were just in Canada, and now are going back to Europe, where they already toured last year (saw them in Zurich, and it was a really good show, despite Hodgson's absence)
