Roger Hodgson - A soapbox opera - Live in Aachen 2009

[POEfromUSA]

Roger, I hope you read this:

Please allow YouTube to post original Supertramp videos again.

I'm sorry there's no money in it for you if you do, but it's not always

about the money.

[Nasamike]

I have the 1975 Crisis What Crisis Songbook, and if you listen to the actual 1975 recording, Roger sings "But rather than a reason, there's a smog in my head." I think he has changed them as time has gone by. Please listen to the original recording.

[polescot]

 I meet the God at Royal Albert Hall, London. Now I know the truth..............

[MusicbyBenjamin]

@polescot He is not a God for peat sake. He was a person sent by God. GET WITH THE PROGRAM.

[Nasamike]

Why did he change the original lyrics of

"But rather than a reason, there's a smog in my head..."

"Maybe, well tell me what I'm living for.."

[MrHomerj2009]

@Nasamike -Reverend Ebenezer, there's a storm in my head

Makes me hear what you said, just was it true?

Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for

Original lyrics

[edehin]

Well he makes me cry. What a wonder this man is. What an artist.

[shelly10538]

My favorite Supertramp song!

[MarkofBeastRevealed]

If father washington only knew that THE BIBLE IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST. Jesus died to send the Holy ghost. King james was born 1566, 6th of scotland. he authorized 66 books and called them the word of God. The same books that killed him they call by his name. THE BIBLE IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST

[sunonthewindow]

@MarkofBeastRevealed um... what? sunday worship is the mark of the beast. 

[MarkofBeastRevealed]

@sunonthewindow youve got the right beast, but the wrong mark. constantine is the first beast. he made an image of the word of God, and worshiped the sun god. then king james was the second beast who gave life to the image

[sunonthewindow]

@MarkofBeastRevealed I really encourage you to read 'National Sunday Law' by A. Jan Marcussen. Saturday (Holy sabbath) is God's seal. Catholics admit to 'changing' the sabbath to Sunday as the Bible predicted ('beast would think to change time and law' Daniel 7:25), and the USA is the second beast, who will enforce a Sunday Law. There is already discussion around the world for Sunday law, it is only a matter of time before it takes place. If you don't read this book you will miss out. Good day

[MarkofBeastRevealed]

@sunonthewindow God sent the HOLY GHOST. we dont live by law books any more. the sabbath was a shadow. they were incapable of even keeping that day holy, NOW we have the HOLY GHOST. if you keep every day Holy then you can't keep one Holier then another. how can you believe the bible and the sabbath. when in your bible it says "let no man judge you in meat or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon or of the SABBATH DAY wich were a shadow of things to come" Wake up.

SIMPLY A MASTERPIECE

[fradasi]

Definitivamente uno de los mas grandes cantautores de los ultimos 40 años, su voz , sus letras son inigualables y gracias a Dios aun tenemos la oportunidad de poder disfrutarlo, yo personalmente lo vere el 31 de Marzo en Barcelona España.

[aaligoa23a]

@fradasi Yo también estaré allí, si mis padres no se enfadan y se les cruza el cable. Tengo diecisiete años y me ha costado la vida y más que me dejen ir. De mientras, me conformo con las canciones que rondan la web. Espero que esté bien. Por cierto, vivo en San Sebastián y tengo que perderme el cole tanto el jueves como el viernes :3

[fradasi]

@aaligoa23a Simpatico tu comentario y dejame decirte que tienes la edad de mi hijo, yo vivo en Venezuela y estoy de paso y cambie mi ruta para asistir a este concierto, me sorprende con tu edad que te guste la musica de Roger porque a los muchachos como que le gustan otras cosas, sera un placer estrechar tu mano ese dia, yo estare el en el piso 1 file 3 asiento 39

[aaligoa23a]

@fradasi BUeno, la verdad es que la música de ahora no me gusta mucho, no se, pero bueno, yo estaré en el segundo piso, fila 16 asiento 27, si llegamos para un poco antes, bajaremos a saludarte, peroo, como ya he dicho, igual no me dejan, en fin, la canción sigue siendo preciosa :)

[xanderjonk]

ever heard the paris live version in the eighties??

[sunonthewindow]

@xanderjonk I have Paris on CD and yes! That version was the first Supertramp song I ever heard! Absolutely magic!

[sunonthewindow]

@xanderjonk It was actually recorded Novermber 1979

[fgalaxy91]

Great!!!!!

[zsukaszi]

Nagyon szép!!!!

[TrueNorth10]

Would love to hear this in Vancouver in March.

[martbert]

This kind of song writing is a special gift. How can anybody listen to this without being profoundly moved. Every time I think about Supertramp I feel there is more to life and talent than we could ever possibly hope to understand. For some reason Supertramp is in two halves and is a broken body. I guess I pray like everyone else that it could be healed and they deliver their absolute best and most significant work wroght from the fire of separation...I think the world needs it right now.

[MyGabriel70]

MASTER¡¡¡

[Amansco]

Fantastic song - it's make sad that we don't have quality artists like this around anymore. I grew up with Supertramp and just love their music - so talented.

[nobadges]

Roger's songs are beautiful. I hope someday he will reunite with Rick Davies....as both of them produced their best when they were together. Much like Lennon and McCartney. But still Roger is doing a beautiful job with such powerful lyrics and immaginative melodies. Nice job Roger...keep it up!

[Birdman24732]

Hearing Roger singing brings tears to my soul and purpose to continue living. Thank you for posting.

[relayer07]

[hellraisersteve]

[Simoneleipzig]

Fantastic Song from one of the greatest Songwriters.

[SupertrampLP]

[pootietangh]

wow, what a voice, he's still magical, he is the voice of Supertramp, but unique and a complete artist of his own right, brilliant - so happy to see him reclaiming his songs. they always belonged to him.

[wajobu]

Thanks for posting all of these concert videos and soundchecks. This is one of Supertramps best LPs "Crisis What Crisis"--a remarkable LP.

[zapkvr]

@wajobu I agree it was a great album but I really prefer the live version on Paris to the studio version. Just my two cents:)

[SupertrampGuy]

Hey Kathy, great video.. Its tabguy.. I'm going to see Roger at Casino Rama in November.. with orchestra.. you flying up again?

[kankudai123]
