- Roger Hodgson co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and was the driving force behind what fans call the 14 golden years of the band. Roger wrote, composed, sang, and arranged the enduring rock standards that made Supertramp a worldwide phenomenon with album sales in excess of 60 million. In addition to The Logical Song, Roger also gave us the timeless classics such as Give a Little Bit, Dreamer, Breakfast in America, Take the Long Way Home, It's Raining Again, Fool's Overture, School, and many more.
Roger is currently on tour. Every concert is a powerful emotional journey and his passion for his music and his art shines through in the magic and intimacy that is felt by the audience, as with this July 2015 show in Veszprém, Hungary. For tour details, visit www.RogerHodgso... or / rogerhodgson .

Yo lo escucho 😮
Improvisado é melhor!
absolutly
Yes.. 1/3rd of the band...
❤
Roger sounds as good as he did 40 years ago. Bloody Marvelous indeed.
He does🎉❤❤❤
Bloody well right!
Incrível a voz dele. Voltei 40 e poucos anos..❤❤❤🎉
@@lorenapickrell828 Damn bang on, it's highly charged and highly emotional too
still has his amazing voice, sounds like it did in back in '79
Classic, Iconic music
Is anyone watching this video in 2023? I saw Roger appear at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester which still is my only visit there. Is was a magical night seeing one of the best singer/ songwriter Canada has to offer🇨🇦🏴🇺🇲😁😀😂🏴🎸
August of 2024. And I've been listening to it since 1979!
O melhor dos melhores🎇🎇🎇
Roger is English (but that's not his fault).
Beautiful song
2026 where I am
THIS IS NOT A SONG THIS A MORAL ANTHEM
Yes, definitely. My dad show me both songs this one, and Breakfast in America as well, I become fan of Super Tramp with those two.
We have gone the reverse way nowadays , actually : too many people are too illogical , driven by subjectivity instead of healthy logic. There needs to be a balance.
Good one, bang on
40 years later and he’s STILL. GOT. THAT. VOICE.
80's? They played in Bergen in 1974! But, yes ..still magical music it is!
@@torb56 I was late to the party and didn’t clue in til Budokan came out. Been a fan ever since.
👍🙏❤
he does
@@torb56 !
It seems as if he is singing in a studio. Such tone. True perfection.
It sounds actually more lively and emotional here, than on the album
It seemed playback
one of the greatest live bands of all time
A nice change well done
That early Saturday morning in the spring of 79, a bright sun is rising beyond the hills, dazzling 13 yr old me. My dad is driving me to school, he turned on the the radio for the road, that song is playing.
Such a beautiful image - I was the same age at that time. The album did alot to me too. ❤
I was totally in that car with you and dad.
I'm feeling kind of blown away at the fact he is 64 here and still singing so damn good and playing with energy
I’m 66 years old and he doesn’t sound any different than back then
The fact that this song still holds ground. Man, this group was so underrated. One of the best bands and honestly, one of the best songs ever written.
A true eye opener.
Desde desayuno en América.
Massa relembrando só sucesso
breakfast in amaerica is one of the greatest albums
Please tell me they're in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're a British Band, I believe. All the best bands come from England! Sooo Smashing!
Maravilloso, el mejor concierto que vi en mi vida gracias J. d ventas con peña Aguilera, muchas, muchas gr as cías y perdona mi niñera a última hora, besos y deseo que estés feliz
I can't belive he still got that amazing voice...
The voice is exactly the same, wow!!
Not exactly.. but much similar.
Is not. Listen with attention.
Its arguably better! Not only his tone but his pitch has improved over the years as well!
@pie pie better than yours,tub nut
True.
I love Supertramp. Breakfast in America is genius. And they are Britons!!!!
One of my favorite bands ❤
plus the song is still so relevant!
I never tire of hearing this song .. The most philosophical song ever written.
Along with IMAGINE?
Fr
Well said sir!👏👏
Yes right on, philosophical and criminal
who the hell doesn't love Supertramp? Timeless
Not necessarily Supertramp....but Roger!
@@benicamenica1557 oh is there bad blood there? Does he own all the music maybe...its always a bit unfair when that's the case
sure...without sounding ugly, Roger is/was Supertramp? I mean its his voice and he wrote everything, the others are expendable. Never mind that he made them all rich. Unless there were contracts and legal docs, he can do what he likes with the songs now...and is
Wow, 35 years or so later, and he can still belt out a song like it was made yesterday, marvellous!
I turned 70 last week. This music is been with me in my whole life.
👏👏👏👏👏👏🎇❤️
One of the top sax parts in rock and roll.
Up there with Baker Street.
Hello Roger. Greetings from São Paulo, Brazil. My 86 year old aunt, Alice, who is facing a demential process, always cries listening to you. Your songs help her to recover her memory. She wants me to tell you that your songs make her trembling, hurting her soul.
Bellissima canzone.
DENISE CAMPOS E TRISTE DIZER ISTO A VELHICE NAO E COPARTILHAMENTO COM A SUA VONTADE .VOCE QUER VIVER MAS O CORPO E A MENTE EM DEVIDAS CIRCUNSTANCIAS NAO PERMITE QUE BOM QUE CERTAS LEMBRANCAS VKVIFICAM A ALMA E EXISTEM ANJOS TERRESTRES PARA SUPORTARMOS A DURA SOBREVIVENCIA DA SENILIDADE DEUS AS ABENCOE !
God bless her soul.
Bless her, she must be a lovely lady
Wow, after all those years he can still hit those high notes. Remarkable !!!
and he sounds amazing
I'm glad he still can :)
Practice makes perfect. R, R

It is one of the few songs that makes you travel back in time and relive those times when you were happy and you didn't know it!!!!
January 2025 !!!!
Lyrics are amazing, but the instrumental, the score, it pierces my body.
Every note enters my body and sets it ablaze. It's pure bliss.
Loved it back then, and now 50 years later still rockin.
I’m 58 and have fond memories of listening to the Breakfast in America album with my dad, who introduced me to Supertramp amongst many others. He’s been gone 2 Years and was an amazing Dad.
*Lyrics in 1979 was so relevant and still in 2022, Nothing is changed for human, but we never see it or try to understand. we just keep ourselves in the typical flow to meet our end eventually.*
One of the all time best written songs.
Right
+Constantine Isslamow word !!
+Joshua Cardona bloody well right...
Constantine Isslamow the bets of the bets
j adore
This is a perfect desciption of the private school in highschool when this song came out its got me through being 900 miles from home and missing my friends and family
His voice is incredible....for so many years! THANK YOU!
Oltre la voce assolutamente buona è anche un ottimo musicista.
Lui e Rick Davies sono due mostri della musica internazionale di tutti i tempi. La loro separazione artistica fu deleteria per i Grandi Supertramp. Roger ha creato un altro gruppo ma il ..sodalizio con Rick è inarrivabile.
Complimenti anche ai grandi John Hellywell , Dougies e Sib
Höre ich mir immer wieder an!! Paßt auch gut in die heutige
verrückte Zeit.Toller Song!!
But there were also great issues in the seventys and in the eightys to
Too
70 years old and still love supertramp!!
Hace 45 años escuché este hermoso tema por primera vez, tenía 13 años...hoy en mi cumple quise volverlo a escuchar y por mis mejillas rodaron lágrimas, el tiempo se va y nos quedan solo bellos recuerdos de una vida vivida, gracias Supertramp por tan hermosa canción
Hermosa emociones...te felicito...se lo que es...
I was born in 67 and grew up with your music, this is my favourite. Thank you so much
Although the song needed more Cowbells.... the band still sounds just as good all these years later. This is one of my all-time favorite songs. Thank you Roger for the music. Sincerely, from New York City
David
Yes they do sound just as good! But honestly, there's NO way that I could even begin to pick my favorite Supertramp (Roger Hodgson) song!!! There are SO MANY GREATS!!!
@@geralddutcher3662 Breakfast in America and School are my favorites
What a GREAT song by Roger Hodgson !!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
a veces nuestros gobiernos y sus ideales intentan seprarnos, pero la música siempre nos une, gracias Roger / Supertramp y a todos los musicos, grupos ingleses que tanta cultura musical nos vienen brindando desde hace décadas y que tengo la suerte de escuchar desde niño, saludos desde Argentina.
Viva Milei!
Muy pocos grupos yanquis llegaron o quisieron tener el nivel de creatividad y refinamiento estilístico de los ingleses, desde los Beatles, Stones, Yes, Clapton, Genesis, Tull etc. Supertramp no tiene rival en lo suyo.
History will record that Hodgson was is one of the best singers ever. His voice is pure gold.
But, does he know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior? That is the real question for any of us because Eternity is a very very very very long time. Where will you spend it... smoking or non-smoking. We all deserve hell.
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv Between the thousands of other religions and self-contradicting denominations of Christianity making "claims", I think you're the one who needs help
@@99certain45 Yes, that is why God had to send his only Son to die on a cross to save me from my sins. I deserve hell.
@@99certain45 I only hope you do not celebrate Christ mas or Easter or Thanksgiving.
@@99certain45 If there is nothing after we die then we Christians are only fools and wasting our time but will end up like the rest of the non believers....in dust. However if we are correct and Jesus Christ did die on a cross to save us from our sins and you did not accept his free gift of Salvation, then you have lost everything because eternity is a long long long long time swimming in a lake burning with fire and sulpher. I'm not a gambler. Are you?
Boy the voice has held up well. Sounds exactly the same !!!
Good clean living does wonders. I = believe he is a healthy food guy as well.
quite amazing frankly these songs from my youth.
Still fresh after all this time and just like nothing else. What a voice!
This band got me through the 70s and 80s best band of all time.
Great, great, great! Greatest ever, without offending anyone.
I love Supertramp with all my soul.
All these years and still sounds just the same, takes me back to the 80's, what a voice
This is 1 of those songs that when you first hear it, it speaks to you and makes so much sense. A great, classic track.
A lovely man with a lovely voice brings back good memories growing up in that era
He sounded outstanding 😮🎉
I`m a Supertramp generation guy. My first dance with my first "official" girlfriend, hanging out with friends listening ST on pubs, at home parties, u name it. So thank you Mr. Hodgson for keeping ST music alive. God bless you. They don't make songs like this anymore.
Incroyable c'est voix intact. J'ai 55 ans et Supertramp me téléporte instantanément lorsque j'avais14 ans. Merci
What a sound !!!
Thank you, Roger, for taking me back to my High School years, full of emotions and a new beginning.
Pretty amazing how you reproduce this same sound and beauty, with your same voice, still incredibly high, but with yet ever so more energy!
What a positive and nice citizen of our world with a great, simple and heartfelt musical message in these difficult times.
Thanks, Roger, and sing on!!
C R agreed :).
CR...I Learn english listening and singing SUpertramp...regards from Bahia Blanca - Argentine. Yes, I take back to my H.School too.
Bring back memories. High school in 80's
Nicely said, still sings with such emotion and beauty. listened this morning and it filled my eyes with tears. It's really beautiful, he must be a very nice guy. Hope he carries on for a while yet
Super-Talented. This is a masterpiece. Goes in my top 10 songs of all-time.
What’s your other best nine?
wow, the best music tanks
Listen to Supertramp in highschool mid 70s 62 years ago and still listen to there songs
Might want to check that math
One of the few artists who sound better live than on a CD or LP. Simply brilliant

Supertramp iluminou minha adolescência. Eu tinha uma fita cassete que tocava o dia inteiro em meu carro. Maravilhosa banda !
I'm saying this you are a part of my past, I love your hit songs from my past. Don't you ever give up regardless of what life throws or dumps on you !
yes you are the one ❤

Roger Hodgson
I was a hard rocker at the time of these songs .But I always had a spot in my heart for these wonderful songs.
great song!!
Indeed
Dear Roger this is one of the most beautiful song I've ever listened
...Fantastic Band and Fantastic Singer and Songwriters Mister Hodgson...🌈👍
Saw him in a small venue in Hershey, PA I believe it was. Had near front row seats. The most amazing performer I have ever seen...beyond his music he carries this energy and charisma with him that is absolutely enchanting. What a rare person
Lot of Roger's lyrics are deep af. And the stage performance is legend.
Roger Hodgson. Unique voice, unique writing skills and unique performer. One of the underrated, great artist's, both then and now.
Absolutely outstanding. He sounds great!!! the band sounds great!!!!
Sounds even better today than when it was released - and it was fantastic then 👏👏👍👍👍👍
The great and unique talent of an eternal song !! Roger Hodgson, your music transcends borders, cultures and time. This song is simply magical & wonderful . A privilege to enjoy your live shows today nowadays. Supertramp was very lucky to have you among members of the band, for me, you were the precursor of a new style and a new vision of creating a special connection with your music and compositions trough worldwide.
Muy Buena musica excelente
This song is a masterpiece. Roger has a beautiful soul. This version is my favorite.
Wow 😯
Sounds exactly the same as when I first heard this
Brilliant 🤩👍
For many years in a row, listening to this magic song - goosebumps.
what on Earth is going on for there to be 123 dislikes?!?!?!?! this is as excellent as excellent gets!
Emotional overload ?
Ppl with crappy taste or trolls who like to downvote for no good reason.
Agree 100%, must be Lady Ga Ga fans. LOL
It's now 344 vegetables...…...
123 Justin (wish I could sing) Bieber fans
Not a single note out of place.....amazing
Awesome song with meaningful Lyrics, super singing voice🎉
One of the best songs ever, so relevant today, deserves so much more acclaim.....Brilliant!
Linda música e letra. Impressionante a voz do Roger Hodgson continua a mesma, talento puro. Agradeço por postar essa maravilha.
One of my favourite songs, thanks Roger for changing my life
I agree!
Yes Logic can change a lot, specially if you don't just posses it, but also know how to apply it:

Genios!!!!! Gracias gracias ❤️😁❤️😁❤️ Argentina 2022
This is the best recreation of the original recording I've ever heard, and if any song deserves it, this is it. Particular kudos to the sax player.
Como estás
Roger nailed the high "Who I am" like a 26 year old. Simply amazing!!
This song is a such a beautiful song, so relaxing and enjoyable to listen to.
Oh yeah👌👍👍👍
It's too beautiful and nice the music of Super Tramp thanks Roger forever to his good voice ❤
I first started listening to supertramp when I was twelve watching my much older brothers kids (12 years between us) and I really resonated particularly with what Roger Hodgson was saying and I think because of his words became a spiritual person who just wants to see peace and love between my fellow man, we should be kinder to each other.
Damn, he can still belt out those high notes! Had the privilege of seeing the original Supertramp twice, in Toronto, in 1979 and 1983 . Best concert I ever saw, especially the 1979 one.
16.11.2024,Miło jest posłuchać jeszcze raz swojego ulubionego utworu 💙Klasa sama w sobie, ta muzyka nigdy się nie zestarzeje dopóki będzie w sercach naszych 😍Ona zawsze będzie młoda jak my duchem i ciałem ❤Dziękuję Roger Hodgson za miło spędzony czas muzyczny ,który przypomniał mi cudowne lata mojego dzieciństwa 😊PL
Prawde mówisz klasyk Zawsze będzie klasykiem
Wonderfull song. Thanks, Roger.
Yes I'm listening Nov 2024 after watching "GO AHEAD BROTHER"
Took me back in time so had to listen to the full song. Still awesome ❤
Never get tired of this song and listening to it for 40+ years, omg I am getting old.
yes but i am as well. brilliant music we had and great times
Saw Roger & the band at the Royal Albert Hall last night and it was one of the most amazing, emotional, uplifting live gigs I have ever seen (and I have seen many in 40 years). He is an absolute genius, looks great, sounds superb and his tunes are the soundtrack to our lives !
One of my favorites bands. Hodgson still same great voice after all these years, amazing musician and singer. Supertramp, unlike other contemporary bands, has a very soft arrange and delightful songs, without endless guitar and drums solos. Simplicity and amazing talent makes this one of the great bands from the 70`s/80`s. thank you for your talent and music that has enchanted generations and me in particular.
A truly superb group called SUPERCHAMP oops Supertramp. Thanks for the terrific songs and music Roger and guys, still great.
Supper like wonderful band i loved it !!! Splendid arrangememt musical voices instrumental keyboard piano sax playing everything well done Congratulations ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉👍
As a child I found this song haunting, it hit a certain note and spoke to me. This has always been my favorite song from Roger.
Roger Hodgson is AMAZING! And that Sax player is phenomenal!
