WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER...

[bk71259]

I saw the Breakfast in America tour at the Miami Jai-Ali froton back in I think March 1978. I still have the ticket stub(somewhere). I just saw him at Epcot Center on Nov. 5th and all I can say is Roger is like fine wine, he just gets better and better!! I can only hope and pray he does a tour of the states next year. He say's he is and if you'd like to experience the show of a lifetime, GO!!! This man is without a doubt the best composer, musician and human being that you'll ever meet!!

[Nomademer]

Merci.

Si Dieu existait il aurait composé ce morceau.....

[mrexcalibur911]

@Nomademer hey man!, tu sais quoi,? non seulement il existe; mais au matin du septième jour; il contempla son oeuvre; plutot satisfait de lui, toutefois, il fut pris d'un doute. il s'assura de nous avoir dotés d'oreilles afin que nous puissions ecouter cette merveille!!! et j'ose croire qu'il ne t'a pas oublié! infame iconoclaste!!!

[natha5920]

[Sinbad382001]

GOOSEBUMPS! Where can I get this full concert?

[rickm48]

@Sinbad382001 Supertramp album - "Even In The Quietest Moments" A CLASSIC

[Sinbad382001]

@rickm48 No, I mean the DVD of this concert. I have the CD of "Even in the Quietest Moments", of course! If it was an LP, it would be worn out by now. LOL!

[rickm48]

@Sinbad382001 Amazon.com has the DVD

[regszikora]

what a sensation for the senses

[happyenjoytime]

true brit ace

[NR1eric]

blijft een super nummer

[MrPabloDSV]

"Fool´s overture" de Supertramp, "a day in life" de The Beatles y " Carpet crawlers" de Genesis deberían ser considerados himnos de la música.

No hay nada después de eso.

[vampiro1956]

 Espectacular, !!!!QUE BARBARIDAD!!!!! SUBLIME. CLÁSICO. EMOCIONANTE. Y como dice no se quién un nudo en la garganta. una genialidad.

[moodyfan4ever]

Bloody Marvelous

[peterhehn007]

A masterpiece of music!

[elpibitodehaedo]

SIEMPRE QUE LO escucho se me hace NUDO EN LA GARGANTA !

ROGER SUBLIME !

[JAVM46]

Puede ser Roger el Mozart moderno?

En cualquier caso una brillante composición y una orquestación fantástica..

[Draeco]

The music and the lyrics are powerful enough, the orchestra just makes it perfectly sound. <3 One love!

[foreverinbluejeans63]

A BRILLIANT piece of music.

[skarhol]

[crflowergoddess]

so wonderful

[mohamedzogda]

longlife ROGER !! LONG LIFE SUPER SUPER TRAMP ( I THANK YOU FOR UR BEST MUSIC ) YOU ARE ONE IN THE WORLD

[y3n007]

This is simply amazing, I was introduce to Supertramp's music when I was 7 and just loved it, I wish he could have written more songs like the ones in the first album, but I still love their music, the sad part i never got to see them live, or him live

[Flash1959]

out off sync

[sting64az]

Awesome performance that was. Drumming could of been a little more detailed but maybe it was over powered by the orchestra?. I was fortunate to see them live in Paris back in 1979 what a concert that was. The best "live" performance of the band back then. Songs sounded better then the original studio recordings.

[yiyeruiz]

qué gran tema! Siempre persistirá en el tiempo!

[gjga1allard]

I totally agree with all of your postings. This is a great song.

[1in1universe]

Turn off the light or close your eyes or even better watch the sky at night while listening, that song.

[gordlightfootfan]

I loved the live version of this song on PARIS LIVE. I bought it when I was 15 years old. I am now 42. Maybe I knew something back then. Maybe Supertramp did too.

[1in1universe]

A.W.E.S.O.M.E

[MrAtalanter]

ça prend aux tripes.. un chef d'oeuvre, comme tant d'instrumentaux de ce groupe.

A découvrir ou redécouvrir d'urgence !!

[HollandHillGarden]

WOW!

[kryptiea]

They played this everyday on my local radio station when I was on my way to school.

I was a freshman. Brings back so many memories. Such a great song.

[sweetbakerdude]

[ferlvs]

@sweetbakerdude

If I had money to fly from Brazil to Canada I wouldn't think twice!

[ginandymela]

un video donde roger hodgson muestra todo su talento.

[philisgarn]

TRULY BEAUTIFUL - GENIUS

[soaternum]

la virtuosidad para mi no es escalas y mas escalas para mi es poder crear algo ke te remueva el alma < supertramps<

[ferlvs]

When you see Roger Hodgson performing you understand aging can be colorful!

As he gets older, instead of slowly losing life, he gains and improves his.

His voice is delightful, his presence on stage is way better, his posture is upright yet gentle, he has a lot of energy (wish I had half), he’s got a kind sense of humor and he has much more love and peace in his eyes, which he doesn’t keep to himself. In fact, he is happy to give them in his tours.

[sweetbakerdude]

@ferlvs ...beautiful observation...thank you

[rupayecuador]

Esta canción marco mi vida y marcará mi muerte, siempre admire a SUPERTRAM nadie podría exponer un tema como una alegoría de la vida y la muerte.

Carlos Rodrigo Aroca Vega

[Ghostymp]

[igirl4fun]

[quiquechicotico]

[polojeanpaul]

Quand retrouverons nous des artistes de cette qualité ???

[marillionfan65]

i still keep my L.P and still play it. the progresive rules

[Andipaisa]

A real masterpiece. Absolutely outstanding! Wunderful! Terrific! Unforgettable! So much nice memories in connection with this song. Thank you so much, Roger, for having composed this fantastic song. I will never get tired of listening to it.

[jacknapier37]

churchill talk............

[JESGLADIATOR]

Mi jefe me prestaba su crown victoria 81, llantas t/a 50, rhines de rayos y sonido piooner, Insurgentes sur viernes en la noche y con esta rola a todo lo q daba. Que recuerdazos y te acuerdas Meme q rico lo haciamos??? Cada q la oigo me acuerdo de ti, espero q estes felizmente bien

[kokkari24]

Brilliant!

[cornemuseur]

Supertramp is going on tour, also in Holland. But unfortunately without Roger Hodgson, otherwise I certainly would have wanted to see the show.

[corro51]

Make that 62 200 times

[ako2288]

Very nice!

[wilfflagler]

Perhaps the most beautiful & insightful rock masterpiece ever created!

[DaWongman1]

Just saw Roger play this in melbourne - what a blast - just two guys on stage and it sounded awesome - like the whole band. At first I was disappointed not see all of Supertramp but it was magical with just Roger and the other guy who was also awesome.

[poliveira1100]

Simplesmente maravilhoso... Roger é demais, não perde o jeito... e esta musica é uma obra prima. Reconhecida desde anos 70s.... com certeza!!!

[laurentdarouen]

Ah Freddy Mercury ! Quel chanteur de charme. J'adore !!! Youhou !!

[mrexcalibur911]

@laurentdarouen a mon avis y a un blème; freddie mercury;QUENN.. tandis que ROGER HODGSON; SUPERTRAMP!!!

[midwyf161]

What a musician. Can't wait to see him in concert in Wellington in 11 days

[FOAMER103061]

@midwyf161 how was the concert??? - did he play fools overture???

[Akileze]

Roger Hodgson = Musical Genius

[RogerGangMember]

Everytime listening I get goosebumps ... Roger Hodgson is a most gifted composer and writer .. his timeless music is just brilliant - can't wait to see him in concert again, he is again touring in 2010 :))))

[racookster]

Hey! It's March 21st! It's Roger's Birthday!

Mine, too.

:-)

[azzorroww]

just as an addition i noticed the drummer also performed in la sagrada famillia, john miles doing the vocals here who was also on the alan parsons project album gaudi,.

fools overture here is the best song with orchestra i have ever witnessed live beyond that, what other feeble words could i describe to you but sheer briilliance well two words i'm speechless

[Andipaisa]

Just fabulous!

[Andipaisa]

Absolutely fabulous, a master piece indeed. Roger Hodgson's music will last for ever. Thanks for everything, Roger, for all the great memories you have given to us thanks and through your music.

[gildas2]

Masterpiece...we are far away from Lady Gaga and all those shitty singers...thank you Roger thank you

[guillotearce]

[tete3002]

[themooddisorders]

@anaumia 70,461....sorry to be a smart ass.

[anaumia60]

@themooddisorders don' t be sorry ....we are all stupid.....^^

[themooddisorders]

maybe they are listening to the LP, CD, or mp3? This is a very famous song!

[Coneman3]

Is this primarily about Churchill ?

[mrexcalibur911]

et au septième jour, DIEU,tout en se reposant après avoir crée le monde, fut pris d'un doute. IL s'assura de nous avoir dotés d'oreilles afin que nous puissions écouter ce chef-d'oeuvre!!!!

[chrische70]

If there is a god on earth?! HE is....

[2bindifferent]

I love this fool!

[jowox]

I like his high voice, which songs has his highest singing (no falsetto though like in goodbye stranger)?

[RebaXs]

Holy cow, Seen it live with Supertramp but this gives me goosepumps all over....!

[carowabbit]

This deserves a lot more then 5 stars.. It's beyond awesome..

[lakefloor]

OMG Awesome!!!!

[gytxduy]

AMAZING!MAGICAL!

[bscondict]

Whatever Rob, have your way, lol !

[mohamedzogda]

over and over again !! supertramp for ever; I believe that their work deserve to be A MUSICAL !!! and this masterpiece must be played in the D DAY and in the remembrance of all the wars fallen soldiers in the past wars(NOT TO FORGET MY FATHER moroccan soldier who risked his life in the 2 world war ,he didnt get enough respect as the other soldiers ,the last insult : some (brave radical bastards are asking ethnic manorities to go back home !!! ) SAD WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[spindrifter2]

This is the great Roger Hodgson, a cornerstone of Supertramp. What a shame they split and what a great composition this is in all its versions. Hodgson deserves to be recognised for the great musician he is.

[damianofonti]

I agree in everything you say

[bscondict]

I don't recall England ever sinking perhaps you can enlighten me? Did Roger tell you personally England is what he had in mind or are we both just interpreting the lyrics differently?I believe Atlantas was a peacful more enlightened place and the answers were easy,it's too late?I do believe England's still there and doing OK .

[Petecavo]

Wiki :- "Fool's Overture" is the closing track from Supertramp's 1977 album Even in the Quietest Moments. Written and sung by guitarist, keyboard player, singer and songwriter Roger Hodgson, the song tells about World War II England and the lessons learned from it

[Rrob2593]

Get a grip ,England is like alantas ,sinking into the sea for years.

[bscondict]

the island is fabled Atlantis.

[Marine4everandever]

No, it's England as the phrase regarding boats put out to sea, the Normandy Invasion of WWII

[johnecorona]

Only the best rock artists can play their music with a full orchestra, once they have established that then their music will forever be immortalized, point in case...Great song!!!

[bradjay]

This has always been one of my favorites and this performance of it is wonderful. Appears to have to some audio/video sync issues but those are easily overlooked.

[mrexcalibur911]

a t-on jamais entendu une plus belle chanson, l,intro à la flute, la montée en puissance progressive du synthé, oui, c,est vraiment son chef-d'oeuvre, rien à jeter., pur bonheur, roger., t'es le meilleur!!!

[ricnlisa]

I don't think this is better than the original, both have their pluses and minuses, for example I think Roger's vocals are better in the original.

He was also younger...still incredible

[SOTOADRIANful]

Perfect Version The Song Fools overture of roger hugdson and supertramp and orchestra

[robpinto32]

Hodgson

[amarubis1]

Superb! Supertramp's music can always be played by or with an orchestra. This video is a sample to demonstrate their quality when playing with a big band of (great) musics

[alanhatanaka]

Perfect version.

I always had a doubt.

"The island's sinking, let's take to the sky" refers to England (island) in the second great war or to the attack of Pearl Harbour?

Pay attention to the phrase "While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea"

[maxmoishe]

No ... First there are excerpts of Winston Churchill's famous June 4, 1940 House of Commons speech regarding England's involvement in World War II ("Never Surrender")

[alfredo1920]

eres un genio

[IkbenAlphastar]

I don't think this is better than the original, both have their pluses and minuses, for example I think Roger's vocals are better in the original.

But the song is a masterpiece anyway, regardless what version you're listening.

[racookster]

I didn't think it was possible... it's better than the original.

By the time the violinists made their appearance, tears were running down my face. They still are. I'm one of those people who cries when a work of art is perfect. This one is.

Man.

[ziomany]

@racookster i hear ya man, i cried when i heard this too...

[BigSteinfeld]

Love at 3:30 when the strings make their main entrance. Unforgettable song, thanks for posting.

[heliopolis29]

I believe they Fool's Overture for title music for US Golf tournaments.

[adkpeakboy]

Always great to hear this classic. Timeless. Thx for posting.

[mohamedzogda]

TO br or sister deycallmefigo!! ok no prayer ? there is no prayer than SALAT (namaz) ,but what I mean with that is some music is made to worship ando evil things ,some like SUPERTRAMP,BUDDHABAR ....ETC it helps to think that there is some music which speaks to your soul !!! kind of MEDITATION ,POSITIVE MEDITATION,SALAM.

[mohamedzogda]

I must hear it every day !!!!!!any one doing the same? for me its kind of ritual or prayer of the day !!!!long life supertramp......

[deycallmefigo]

[rafaelfiori]

TOP 10 song off all time

[mrexcalibur911]

un monument à lui tout seul,réservé aux amateurs avertis.! faites silence autour de vous et ecoutez moi cette merveille. meme w.churchill est la!

[mohamedzogda]

simply the best !!! lets make music not computurised noise ,the master roger and freinds didnt get the respect they deserve!!! they made music.

[GenesisFan01]

They're singing "Jerusalem".

And did those feet in ancient times

Walk upon England's mountain's green?

And was the holy lamb of God

On England's pleasant pasture's seen?

[deycallmefigo]

i thought this song was about churchill

[8628416]

agh me jode que el sonido este descuadrado

[piuteken]

Thank You

[claualopez]

Increible cancion , son canciones que van a pasar 500 años y se seguira escuchando .

[asermarmu]

Me quedé extasiado al escuchar por primera vez esta verdadera obra maestra. Verdaderamente, Roger Hodgson es un hito incomparable como compositor.

[lekezenman]

Besides "Lord, is it mine?" "Ouverture" was one of the absolute highlights in this already all-over heavenly concert in september 2009 in Brussels!

According the applause ..it could have been even above that!

[brigadoonspain]

What a SUPER talented guy Roger Hodgson really is.

[pariscafe1]

What a beautiful song from Roger Hodgson. A classic beauty. No other artist writes and composes such amazing material. What a remarkable talent we have in Roger. Stunning.

[rodrico50]

nobody can come close.roger fuckin rules.

[inyoureyes1000]

Masterpiece is right. One of the greatest songs ever composed.  Ever. A timeless classic that will always stand the test of time. What a beauty from Roger Hodgson. Genius.

[ProfTransformator]

Great, great, great. Absolutely genious. This is the song of the songs. Respect. Dies wünsche ich mir zu meiner baldigen Beerdigung!

[henkiedieffie]

niet zo overdrijven, het is gewoon n muziekstukje , niks bijzonders dus. Freddie van Queen is beter en de show ook.

[siahnazi]

[stormbouy]

totally mind blowingly amazingly awsome

[reiemrogerg]

Simply one of the best songs ever. Music history!

This Great Work.give a little bit more for everyone.

[lakefloor]

Agree!!! If you don't cry after hearing this then you're just not there.

[azjeff1971]

Roger Hodgson is the GREATEST MUSICIAN EVER.

[spereirac]

There are no word enough to express the beauty of this version. Simply the best!

[monkeymanATS]

He was simply the best songwriter on the planet from 1974 to 1982 , supported by great musicians and the brilliant Rick Davies .

[raulmarti]

Como puedo conseguir este concierto?? donde es?? como se llama y donde esta hecho??

We must surrender Now to the Mighty I of all existence....

[CalvinH5]

even with the lag... this was an awesome performance of an excellent song. I would love to have seen it live! Thanks for sharing.

[crouchie56]

Fantastic delivery of a fantastic song. The audio/video disconnect seems to be a common problem on YouTube, not sure why (in this case the audio lags the video by about one second). But thanks for posting :-)

[MaSsCcoH]

The intro from thechoir at 8:37 makes the song broken =(

[msalazarx]

Masterpiece
