Fool's Overture - Voice of Supertramp Roger Hodgson w Orchestra
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2009
- Former Supertramp lead singer and co-founder Roger Hodgson wrote and composed this song by himself. He has talked about how when he composed it he always saw it being played with an orchestra. So, seeing it with an orchestra, we are seeing it the way the composer originally intended it. This epic is on the album "Even in the Quietest Moments." Autographed CD at www.rogerhodgsonstore.com.
Roger is currently on Tour, selling out shows all over the globe. Roger performs his songs in a variety of formats so you can see him at an acoustic show, band show or orchestra. I love them all. Info on www.rogerhodgson.com or / rogerhodgson .
Roger Hodgson has been recognized as one of the most gifted composers, songwriters and lyricists of our time. The songs Roger sings that are often referred to as Supertramp songs are songs that Roger wrote and composed alone - that is how he creates music.
Even though Roger and Rick shared writing credit, they each wrote and composed separately with each singing their own respective songs. Roger wrote many of the band's hits while he was still in his teens, before he even met Rick. When Roger was with Supertramp, he would make a demo of the song and bring it to the band for them to learn their parts. Supertramp as a band never wrote and composed together. There were only two songwriters for the band. Roger composed many of the songs that brought Supertramp worldwide acclaim such as Give a Little Bit, Dreamer, Take the Long Way Home, Breakfast in America, School, It's Raining Again, Fool's Overture and so many more. Roger still performs all of the classics and also selections from his several solo albums. There's a Repertoire page on Roger's site where you can read about his songs and how he composed them. bit.ly/1Kfgu0W

See what fans are saying -
"Fool's Overture had everyone mesmerized. The lyrics, sounds, vibe in the room all was magical. Roger had everyone in his hands. An absolutely amazing performance. So much so that as people were leaving, I overheard many say they are already planning to come back next year."
"This performance was jaw dropping. It was like turning the clock back 25 years. Roger's voice was as it was in Supertramp's heyday."

This is Roger Hodgson Live at France 2004 Night of the Proms.
I know this is going to sound so corny - this is the one of the few songs that can lift me from the depths of depression up to the point that life is worth living again. It brings back so many memories of good times with people no longer with us. Where did my life go so quickly - 70 years gone in a flash. Wish I had a second go at it.
hang on in there....time is an illusion
I know what you mean, but there will be a second chance we are waiting.... it does not seem so far away
You will have a second go at it. 💗

"Fool's Overture is one of my favorite pieces that I've ever written. It was very magical the way it came together. It was actually three separate pieces of music that I had for a few years and then, one day, they kind of all slotted together in what I think is a magnificent, kind of epic piece of music. I always imagined performing it with an orchestra, so when I did start playing with orchestras back in the '90s, it was such a thrill to play this song. I still get goosebumps to his day every time I get an opportunity perform it with an orchestra." ~Roger Hodgson
Rodger cant wait to see you cime back to Stlouis Mo. You are so incredibly gifted. I'd love to say hi to you someday.
This tore my heart into pieces, my emotional response was illogical, such a master piece. ❤
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thanks Roger, you have amazing music
Crisis, what crisis, even now with c
and I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. such an awesome piece.
Probably one of the best pieces of music ever written and performed
Totalmente de acuerdo... Supertramp son de otro sistema solar... 👍🏻
Muito provavelmente. Uma verdadeira obra de arte.🇧🇷
No words to describe this song. For me, it is a masterpiece by Supertramp.

Released back in 1977, this still stands out as one of the most brilliant pieces of music ever written. Thank you Roger for composing such a masterpiece.
Would you say this song was the first rock song with orchestra being played?
@@alexandrelacerda75 QQQQQQQ
I totally agree. What a magnificent piece of music!!! ❤️
Whats so cool is he sounds today as he did then. I seen him in STLOUIS before the pandemic and he said he carried three songs around forever but neither was long enough for a song so he joined them together. Thank God he did because this is a true masterpiece.❤
I still recall when it came out. I absolutely and completely fell in love with this album. This song in particular just pierces my soul. Even to this day!
The Grammy's couldn't handle this. This is pure music, talent and entertainment on a level they don't recognize anymore.
Adam Whiteside divino hermoso
Adam Whiteside. So so true .this is a what a performance looks like .
Este tema es un monumento a la musica, simplemente genial
Adam Whiteside just like Hall of Fame snubbed Judas Priest... Timeless Genious

My dear departed brother brought home the quietest moments album when it originally came out. I'd be about 11 then, and this track just blew my mind. Fast forward to 2021, I'm 56 now, the aches, pains of growing old have started and this track takes me back vividly to those carefree days. Thanks, brother, you were suddenly taken away from us but we'll meet again.
They see you but you can't see them
Justo como a ti, me pasó en este preciso momento. Yo me encontraba haciendo unas tareas para la universidad cuando escuché por primera vez Fool's Overture y después toda la colección de musica de Supertramp. Escuchando el solo de piano de Roger al principio, de inmediato me llevó a retroceder 30 años aproximadamente... Una joya, una verdadera joya esta canción.
Good ,song ,it s beautiful !!!Roger Hoghson ,you are the Better💐hello Mister Churchill 💗💗💗💗
wow i could have written the exact same words except im two years younger
That was beautiful man ✌️
What can I say !!
Today I am 61 years old and listening Supertramp & Roger Hodgson from the beginning and still in love !!!
For me, my Favorite song from all of them since 1977.
The sadness of al that, we will all disappear and the new generation won't pay any attention to that beautiful realisation.
Don't get me wrong, i am very positive !!!!!!!!!!
Oh no, my son is 21 years old and absolutely loves Supertrump songs - this one in particular. 🌻
Back in 1979 somebody told me: the good music from today would be the classics of the future
This is NOT a "song"
It is a modern piece of classical music
I have asked my family to play this at my funeral, such is it’s significance and depth of meaning to me personally. 🙏🏻❤️
Did they?
Hollymolly, I've actually thought of that too!
❤😂
@@BibtheBoulder
Humor “gris oscuro”!!
😂😂😂
@@BibtheBoulder he'll get back to you.
They don't make music like this anymore. No auto tuned, computerized formula rubbish. Just brilliance. Saw them on their epic 1979 live tour. To this day the best live show I ever saw. Amazing.
That's why their songs live forever
Såg dom i Stockholm 1993
No you're right about things, I think
Yes they do. Listen to more music.
I believe 1979 was the year I saw them, too. "An Evening With Supertramp". Market Square Arena, Indianapolis.
I was 21 when this came out. 66 now and not well but when I need a lift, I come to this beautiful song 🎵
The most under-rated band of all time. I had all their albums as they came out. Crime of the Century!! I knew I had great taste!!
Is it just me, or does this song draw an emotional response that brings you to tears? I don’t know why, but it does every time I watch it. What a masterpiece!
Roger....you are THE MAN. If one month goes by where I haven't listened to the complete "Even In The Quietest Moment " album....I go into withdrawal. Best to you and yours ALWAYS. 💕
It is prophecy in music....time always tells..... Sad, however true. We get the message too late.
Goosebumps
Not only you
Yeah, I'm in tears right now.
Mr Hodgson, je vous écoute depuis plus de 40 ans et je suis toujours en admiration devant votre immense talent. You're the best 💕
Biberonné à ça, Alan Parson ou Barclay James Harvest, jamais pu passer le virage du rap 🥴
💋💋💋💋
C'est tellement vrai moi aussi je le vénère
This is one of the best pieces of music ever written by anyone on this planet.
I totally agree.
ABSOLUTELY!!👍
I agree
Agreed♥️
I am sitting here at my desk with tears in my eyes ,this song just gets me every time .Take care man.
I've said elsewhere that, in my opinion, Roger Hodgson is one of the greatest musicians and composers of 20th century popular music. This particular piece, though, goes beyond even that. For its sheer artistry, originality, and soul-stirring qualities it stands alongside the likes of "I am the walrus", "Stairway to heaven", and "MacArthur Park".
I agree 100%. I'd even say it ranks up there with Bohemian Rhapsody. Truly one of the Masterpieces of the modern Era.
@@muskokamike127 Exactly what I was going to write!! Fool's Overture should be as least as known and as celebrated as Bohemian Rhapsody.
Roger is!! I never tire of watching and listening to his melodies . Thank you.
😺🌵💞
I think Pink Floyd and Tears for Fears belong to the same genious club.
I couldn't have said it any better myself. The performance in this video (with the orchestra) was spectacular! They don't make songs like this anymore that's for sure!!!
This band was a revelation back when I was a teenager and it is still doing it for me today...
Supertramp and Roger Hodgson having been a strong musical presence in my childhood and younger years, it’s been great to discover as an adult what a kind, humble and generous person Roger is as well.
Considering I lived in Liverpool from 62-65 and had Beatles records before the world even knew who they were, I can honestly say this song is a Masterpiece. I have seen Supertramp 4 times in 40 yrs. of going to concerts, and this is real music! Not the pop tart crap they put out today!!!
There isn't a Canadian that was alive in 1979 that wouldn't recognize this. Masterpiece.
and *I* am one of them, brother. This band turned me into the 57 yr old music composer that I am today! I mean every word of it. It really did. Downstream" was amazing..... DBarch
Nearly 50 years old, yet it still moves me as it did the first time that I listened to it on Paris Live, thank you Mr. Hodgeson for creating the most memorable song of all time. I applaud your brilliance. Long live Fool's overture. And its creator. Thank you for the music.
With a full orchestra and choir really puts the song to the next level
This is the way music should be...orchestra and rock band and choir....the power..... the energy...the sensuality.
Mr. Hodgson sure knows how to put on a great show.
Roger Hodgson co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and was the driving force behind what fans call the 14 golden years of the band.
Having worked with this amazing, gentle, and talented man, and SUPERTRAMP, I can say without a doubt, He/They deserve EVERY accolade He/They get.
I love the people with "talking life experience " thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏
2024 and old Europe is awaiting YOU,Roger!!
Je suis en train de réfléchir, je ne me rappelle plus depuis combien de temps j'aime ce morceau !!!!!!!! Mais si mes souvenirs sont bons, ça fait au moins 40 ans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Je confirme et c'est toujours un régal pour moi !!!! Peu de personnes sont d'accord avec moi, peu importe !!!!!!!!! Chacun a le droit de donner ses opinions, après tout....Si personne n'a les mêmes opinions que moi ! Pas grave, tout le monde a le droit d'exprimer ses opinions, positives ou non, c'est le droit de chacun !!!!!!sur ce, bonne fin de nuit !!!!!!!
The most beautiful thing in the world, progressive rock, is priceless!
YES PRICELESS
Tottaly agree with you... I'm 29 years old and for me, progressive is a fucking medicine for my soul.
a piece of art, this is amazing, but i hate roger hodgson for negating the rest of the band.
De Purc
I totally agree with you.
but what about phsycodilic rock?
like Pink Floyd , ...
It happens - personality differrences, musical differences, lives move on with marraige, children etc. Life doesn't stand still. He allowed them to continue the name of Supertramp and it was agreed which writer had claim to which songs, it was also then agreed that the remaining Supertramp didn't perform any of Roger's songs and he wouldn't perform any not written by himself. This was adherred to for a while until audiences dwindled for Supertramp because the vast majority of the better songs were Roger's, the band then broke the agreement and played Roger's songs to bring back ticket sales. To my knowledge, Roger never played any of Rick Davies' songs. He certainly didn't when I saw him in London this year and I've never seen any footage of him doing so. His current band is awesome. Long may they continue. If you get a chance to see them live then do so.You will not be disappointed.
Great memories on the great masterpiese of all times
Still feel the same, and always will...this song still gives me chills, and Supertramp still one of my favorite groups. Love 💗💖💓💞💕
Thank you Roger Hodgson for sharing this with a world that does not deserve your genius.
One of the most underrated musician on earth and truly one of the best !!
I have such an emotional reaction to this song, because it takes me back to when I was seventeen - sitting alone in my room feeling wounded and unsure about what kind of future, if any, was possible for me. Thank you Roger for so perfectly marking that moment in time for me and making me realize now how far I have come.
Wow… Intense… Supertramp was booed in Vermont I heard… I'm sure the folks there were not ready for such a talent and band as Supertramp… Was this true? I'm not sure I was 12 I think… I'm sure all those who booed are ashamed of themselves… If not, they are just not worthy of quality music!
@Nina Morningstar....like you ...but I lived in the french mountain...I listen Supertamp every day !...again and again :o). Roger and his music..are Christique (Christic in english ?)...His songs and melodies are in my soul !
Nina Morningstar you aren't alone ;)
So many of us. Yes.
Even growing up in Europe it touched me (us?) in a deep way. Was he just lucky? Doubt it.
This will forever be part of our generation and we're lucky to have it. Well, that and Floyd.
Nina Morningstar l9
Still the best live and recorded performances I've had the pleasure of hearing.
Masters at work.❤
This man is a real musician. Not only is he accomplished, but he also can play live to the level you hear in his studio records. No fake.
I can't even begin to imagine what it must feel like to be in that room with Roger and that orchestra and choir. Tears are just pouring down my cheeks...
Still listening to this - must be 50ish years on!
WOW moore than 50-Years J have you My Favorite band...❤ Så förtröstansfull och fina texter rakt in i hjärtat❤ Verkligheten förstod du då,Roger Tackfulla Marie Sweden.Hade förnöjsamheten att se och lysstna på er i Stockholm Sweden ❤ Marie 🥰🙋♀️
I know that musical taste is something that can't be discussed... But it's unbelievable that 1.400 people disliked this masterpiece...
I grew up on this delicious music! Never forget these moments at their concerts. Do we understand at a young age how beautiful and meaningful this would be in our older years.. epic and beautiful . Thank you for this precious moment!!! 🙏🙏🙏♥️❤️
This makes me cry, especially because I have a brother in Hospice care, very little life left in him, sadly.
I was introduced to Supertramp in the 80' by my brother in law who gave me a couple of his old albums and fell in love with their music but never heard of and thought I never heard fool's overture until very recently when I was in a nostalgic mood and I came across it and 1 section which I remembered clearly but could not quite place it other than a news show I watched. Imagine my surprise when I looked it up and found out it was Canada's W5's theme back in the day.
This song means so much at this time WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER 😔
Milli try choirs not possible in most counties, its amans world
We shall never surrender to rap. We shall never surrender to rubbish like the X Factor.
I've seen this man in concert twice and both times walked away in awe of what an amazing man and performer he is ..... such a gifted , talented man and thank you Roger for the many years of joy you've given us all .
I can call this song-one of the songs of my life...sincere admitation for Supertramp members from the beginning....
Thank you Roger and company! Marvelous.
fools overture is a stand alone masterpiece of sheer astounding deeply cutting and moving composition, it brings a tear to my eyes ever time i hear it, its just so amazing.
Me also my friend.

my late teens were spent listening to this music Supertramp ...Pink floyd and others such tallent ....thank you so much guys
Oh mein Gott wie Klasse und in und mit viel Liebe gespielt ❤❤❤
Dankeschön Supertramp ❤❤❤
This is pure perfection!
This is the best fools overture I have ever listened too, truly amazing
There´s nothing greater and more fuffiling in the life of a Composer, than to have his Music interpreted by a Symphonic Orchestra.
It is a testament of worthiness, The Ultimate confirmation of the true quality of a creative Musician
One of - if not THE - favorite song for me by Supertramp/Hodgson and this orchestral arrangement brought the power of this composition to its full glory. I have always thought the band was a bit underrated for their musicianship, and Hodgson for his compositions. This performance, even as old as it is, sent chills down my spine.
One of the best songs ever written. No more be said.
Ima SuperPerson I couldn't agree more
Até hoje me arrepiou quando ouço essa música. Tinha 17 anos na época, hoje tenho 62anos.❤️
Listening to this again reminds me why i became a musical composer
They wrote music that would travel through time….one of the best bands ever, Roger, pink Floyd, led zep…..all stood the time….
Fantastic!!! I always thought the marriage of a full orchestra and rock-n-roll was the best in music composition. And those writers, like RH, who can accomplish that are truly the talented ones of our time. We are the lucky ones to be privileged to listen to it and to have the open mind to understand the greatness of such a project.
The message is to keep tuned in to the Eternal!
I always wonders what went through his mind when he performed this masterpiece for the first time live with an Orchestra and Choire. That must have been glorious feeling. ❤❤❤
He was probably relieved he finally got through it with all the moving parts involved….
You can hear him whoop at one point.
Some songs that are eternal. 3 thousand years from now there will be people listening to music like this.
How is it possible to give this a negative review. It is simply beautiful.
Crime of the Century is probably in the top 100 rock albums of all time.
I’d probably rank it in MY Too 50….screw those stupid RS lists…
one of the best musics ever arranged!even in the quietest moments is a wonderfull and fantastic album,i canot recall the times i heard this song and the album.
So true....
The making of 'gutter oil'
Rui Calado Amen to that, brother
There will be no more song like this anymore.
Working in Peterhead....in Scotland...the first time I heard this song..I thought..WOW...45 years on..I still think WOW....fabulous song..clever..it has everything.
Truly epic song. Even in the Quietest Moments I bought on vinyl late 70s, still have it, still play it. It's one of my fav albums ever. A true masterpiece.
I just found this today. Wow
@@lindafay6637 You mean you’ve never heard it before? It will grow on you more and more, it’s just amazing and timeless. Get the album Even in the Quietest Moments …you will love it!
Esta canción va más allá del rock o el pop. Es una auténtica obra de arte. Se debe considerar como una auténtica sinfonía de música clásica.
Absolut einmalig. Grüße aus Berlin, Georg
Tengo un monton de años y habre escuchado esta cancion mil veces, sigo escuchandola y mis pelos siguen poniendose de punta, es simplemente sublimel.
Es cierto, a veces cuando conecta algo con tus sentimientos , aflora un resorte que dispara un vacío que te arrastra en esa turbulencia donde se mezclan y confunden realidades sueños añoranzas frustraciones y también locuras. Quién no ha salido de un sueño y aturdido por la realidad desea volver pero no encuentra el camino. Un saludo
Hoy en día el reguetón lo impregna casi todo. Menos mal que tenemos estas joyas.
Yet another genius creation of Roger Hodgson. Love the Churchill speech! What sets Roger apart from most artists is he really takes the time to create a song that is more than a melody. This song in particular, is an epic journey. It has the most beautiful melody with an incredibly meaningful story to tell.
+Andy H He and Elton are just alike Andy.They will be remembered 200 years from now just as Bach..He reminds me of Jesus...
+Jimmy Gilstrap He reminds me of Jesus in the way that he was an enlightened individual, in touch with his inner essence and expressed it in his words and music. Had Jesus played an instrument he probably would have been awesome too! P.s . read Eckhart Tolle
Andy H Yes! You've really summed it up. In my book, Supertramp ranks as one of the best rock groups of all times! But although "Fool's Overture" is a true masterpiece (it takes an exceptionally talented musician to compose something of that caliber) & the whole album is so enjoyable to listen, my No.1 album is & always will be "Crime of the Century"!
+Andy H - I always get 'shivers' when I hear Churchill's speech - "We shall Never surrender!!"
Andy H
Beauuuutifully Crafted, as always with Mr. Hodges
Always loved this song. Amazing that he can pull off a live version so close to the studio version --- and with a full string orchestra at that! He's a very soulful, sensitive guy. Really interprets his world and time and puts it into music. What a gem of a song and performance!
This absolute masterpiece should be as least as known and as celebrated as Bohemian Rhapsody.
Thank you for sharing, BDFilms4U.
Always loved listening to supertramp . Had the honor to see them with Larry Gowan opening for them at the metro center in Halifax , nova Scotia
Brilliant song with an even more brilliant line straight out of history: 'We shall never surrender'...this line always gives me goosebumps!
💯
Supertramp for ever...
you see this is what we all live for, the past is some you all never forget
Epic!!!!! So glad got to see Supertramp on there last world tour, I think it was 1986. still got the poster, likely a collector item by now.
Supertramp was certainly iconic in its' time. But, Hodgson just grabbed me from
moment one. "Can you feel it?"
Magic. Unveliable. Incredible. Pure fantasy. Supertramp Legend.
Jose Ortega he is purely a legend!! I've only heard of him this morning on the radio, "Take the long way home"! Just an amazing musical masterpiece, really upbeat!
Amantes de la gran banda Supertramp y buenas canciones y música para mí es su mejor canción no sé si estáis de acuerdo seguir escuchando buena música de aquellos maravillosos tiempos 💯👍
Para mi es la epica crime of the century
Saludos
...no sabría decir que tema es mipreferido de Supertramp......The Crime of the Century, School, anoche mans womans, Just a normal Day....ufffffff hay tantas ¡¡¡¡¡
Y adios extraño tambien tiene ese sentido ebocador y nostalgico q lo senti desde la primer ves sin ser recuerdo parecia llebarme a un tiempo pasado asi creci esuchando desde los 11 años aprox a esta banda de musicos admirables
@@maxeduardomunozizquierdo1006 Señor yo diría que unos de los mejores conciertos de Supertramp es el de París ( no recuerdo de que época fue pero es uno de los mejores y podría decir que llega ah ser de culto) Si es posible podría decirme de que año fue?
That woman on the flute is pretty amazing!
SUPERTRAMP TO ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!!
Perhaps the best band which never really made it to the big time. I have been a fan since the '70s, and still love their music.
+Lynn Gill Supertramp was and is still big time LYNN GILL..Where have you been??
+Jimmy Gilstrap Jimmy, I have been a fan since the 70's, trust me!
+Jimmy Gilstrap You tell 'er Jimmy! Supertramp was one of the biggest of all time as I recall. One of my top 5 for sure, desert island material.
Growing up in the 70's they were very big in our area and a huge part of my high school years. I'm going to see Roger TWICE next month. Can't wait!
Supertramp were big in the 1970's but UNFORTUNATELY their popularity has waned since. :(
In my country, practically nobody even knows them. :(
Esta composicion talvez Resuma el Significado Musica.. cuanto mas aprendo con mis años mas ignorante me siento en este Mundo Gracias Roger por crear este Banquete para nuestros oidos !!
Que de souvenirs accompagnent cette pièce magnifique
I think this is by far the best Supertramp song.
if this is my very last music i ever listen to in life, i will be forever happy in death, xx
+greenfingers gardener Me too.
Me 2
oh yes
Rodger Hodgson was one of the favourite musicians of a good friend of mine. Maybe it was the last song she listend to before she comitted suicide...
me too, I'm not willing to end things by any means, but I love his music, wish he would come to Hard Rock Love in Hollywood Florida
Ah a composer who has the luxury of hearing his his dreams in real time music. You were lucky Rodger, and so were we, thank you.
It was a time when MUSIC was composed and played - best time of my life…
What a masterpiece Roger with the orchestra goosebumps 🔥
One of the greatest songs ever written by one of the greatest songwriters of all time.Pure genius.
Couldn't have said it any better
What I would give to see/hear Roger play this and all the Supertramp hits!...I really do hope he does one last tour I know its a long shot but he is just such a bloody good Artist...every song is just perfection!!..we love you Roger!!..💜
Simply the best Supertramp song ever written. Thank you for sharing this treasure piece of music.
One of the very best musical pieces of modern time. The fine blending of sounds and words from history all comes together to paint a musical master piece
In October 1979 I visited a concert of Supertramp with Roger in the Rotterdam Ahoy (Netherlands) and it became an unforgettable evening for me. Especially when they played "Fool's overture" at the end of the concert I was overwhelmed by emotions. When I saw this great UA-cam performance for the first time, it reminds me automatically to that happening 34 years ago.
I have gone to concerts for 50 years and Supertramp 3 times! This is a MASTERPIECE and I like it more than Bohemian Rhapsody another masterpiece!!! This is in my top 10 concerts, but it doesn't beat Billy Joel and Elton John together in 2001. The two pianos were breathtaking!!!
When music was made with actual instruments and passion. This song for me stands as one of the testaments to great visions and talents.
I agree
Just... perfect!!!
"Call the man a fool, strip him of his pride, Everyone was laughing up until the day he died." Now I'm crying. I love his depth. Love the orchestra and the chorus, too.
the flute at 0:59 sends me to heaven. The whole song is a masterpiece but the flute is the best.
Tubetopfan1 Got to agree with you on the flute....it's absolutely beautiful!!
Truth
Brings me to the brink of tears. Every time. I just stop and let it flow over me.
The instrument that is the best for me in this song is the Sax, just amazing...
