[livebude]

Nice Vid ;) But cracks in Sound :(

However .... Thanks !

[McRaybia]

there is just nothing like a gift.

[Cosmotube1960]

After graduating, I up and left for the West Coast. I married, had kids, and 15 years later ended up back East again. I can't begin to describe the impact this song has on me. Still love it. To me, it means - live life, enjoy.

[kesterling2003]

@Cosmotube1960

to me it's a freaking documentary

regards, the couch

[NogueiraJoaoCarlos]

Adoro essa música. Esses caras são muito bons.



[BNSF9250]

do they alow cameras into these concerts?

[ferlvs]

How blessed a person is when he/she has the opportunity to go to his concert !

My son and I saw him in São Paulo, Brazil last month (our hearts are still on that stage). It was awesome!

[Flash1959]

Took the long way! Just so you know.

[Flash1959]

Next to Elton John, Roger Hodgson is one of the best

[vitorro1970]

Roger ,a parte de ser tú un gran musico,llevas muy grandes musicos,el saxofonista es genial.Gracias por tú musica,mercy.

[kimatoz3]

Love his natural presence. No barriers between him and the audience.

[slappingbelly]

Pirate Shirt! FTW!

[aussieangie]

I saw Roger this year, and the show was... incredible !!

It brought back alot of beautiful memories for me.

Thank you Roger !! p.s... come back (down under) soon. XX

[KingArthur13]

Outstanding musician. I miss Davies and Helliwell, though.

[SuperAlexrios]

all the audience is sad almost crying fuck i never see so much sadness together fuck this video

[lovelyat44]

This song is played in many movies, yet it truly is an amazing song. It's a song that makes you think, Hey we have to take the long way home sometimes, just to get our lives or think about life and how we appreciate it. Beautiful song.

[AstralPixie]

Wonderful, heartfelt performance..

he surely has a twinkle in his eye.

It's really hard not to like Roger ;)

[jaganatha1]

Seems we are all taking the long way back to God

[jaganatha1]

Tks for posting

[chrisahx2]

takes me back to when I was 14 and living in La Jolla, a turning point in my life, which had it not occurred, would surely be vastly different today. Love the song, but HATE this version!

[spindrifter2]

Be assured everyone Supertramp were as great live, if not better than on Vinyl, CD or DVD. The sign of real quality. From a "Supertramp Original".

[duxberry1958]

got all the LP,S yes ON VINLY

[ttrevor42]

@duxberry1958  Great. Play them through an old valve amp. Brilliant!

[musicaldoc]

I saw Supertramp in Milan Italy 10 years ago...SUPERB!!! A living rapresentation of what can be heard on their recordings....JUST PERFECT !!!

[Cumminsturbofreak]

Just great im working right now and i listen a lot of supertramp and my boss is saying stop listening to music while working ! he can go fuck a goat that fucking jewish bastard !!!

[touchupmty]

hola, soy de monterrey, escuche esta cancion hace muco,,me gusto el grupo y ahora disfruto sus canciones, in english, I heard thies group 10 years ago,,,,likes me music and his songs.

[billybobmacguyver]

Note that this performance is from 2006... This guy sounds spot on from when he was playing in the 70s-80s. I would not hesitate to see him live with Supertramp or solo; come the opportunity of course.

[mr2ben]

@billybobmacguyver

sounds like i'm bragging. whcih i suppose i am... but that's not my intention! i'm going to a festival over easter in nrthern nsw, aus.... he's playing.

if you're in aus... here's your chance

[Raisenkane]

You just can't beat music from the 70s and 80s, it had a good feeling to it. Nothing like the depressing crap you hear now.

[johnpatlanta]

Roger is such a sweet man... I'd like to know... is he married, kids??

[lordrunken]

wow he sounds just as good as in the 70-80

[1970clip]

You're the best, Roger !

[inyoureyes1000]

Take the Long Way Home is such a meaningful song on so many levels. What an absolute gem from writer/composer Roger Hodgson. I never tire of watching his DVD, Live in Montreal. It's like getting a private concert.

[killerwhaletotem]

Roger you've still got it man. Your songs have kept me warm for years and it's great to see you are still going strong. I Love this song and my next favorite is Logical Song. Would love to see some recent performances of Fool's Overture.

[TheDubbin]

I Love Roger's music. Never get tired of these songs. I play them over and over again. He is by far one of the most talented songwriters of all time. I liken him to the caliber of Lennon and McCartney. So moving, real and relatable. Thanks Roger. I will always be one of your biggest fans. Looking forward to seeing you in Canada this fall. Last time I saw him it was one of the most magical experiences I have ever had. Felt like he was playing right to me. Very intimate and wonderful.

[florasummers]

I just got that DVD and it is so fantastic!! I love seeing Roger play live. He has such incredible stage presence and warmth that comes out when he sings. He's so personal with the audience. I would agree this captures him at his best. It was Roger and Roger's songs that made Supertramp. I am so happy he is touring and making fans like me happy all over the world.

[teton2401]

Roger is my favorite artist and one of the most distinctive and beautiful voices of today, he was originally the voice of Supertramp. Co-founding the band in 1969, he was the lead singer and writer of nearly all their hits throughout the seventies and early eighties. Since leaving Supertramp in 1983 he has had a series of critically acclaimed and successful solo albums. Roger has put out a DVD, LIVE IN MONTREAL, the first live release from Roger, and it catches Roger Hodgson at his very best.

[bloombabe911]

part two of hte guestbook message: Also talked to Chris Thompson, Steve Lukather, Michael McDonald and many others about helping us and would love to have you on board too

You are one of the greatest musicians on this planet

I have met you before when I was in the Merseybeats, and I wrote Paul McCartney's fav song and have six bands I am now working with including working with members of the Alan Parsons Porject

[bloombabe911]

I found this on Roger's guestbook and thought it was great response to people complaining about artist's copy rights. I am talking with many bands about ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING OF MUSIC which is now about 95% leaving only 5% paid for. This is VERY UNFAIR and Tony Bramwell and Jack Oliver from the BEATLES are helping me with this campaign to help educate the next generation about the consequences of stealing Intellectual Property

[2tickets2ride]

Hey Roger please make another DVD. My Take the Long Way Home DVD is wearing out and you have so many songs you share. I love your music.

[pootietangh]

I agree, roger is all about hope and love and peace, it's kind of funny to see posts where people are complaining or spewing their anger, it's so not cool and is completely opposite of Roger's message. be cool, post responsibly and show respect to other fans that like the music and get the real message.

[bravenpoe]

wow, I love watching Roger in this video, he's great. and megakippers is a fan like i am, and it's so not cool at all to bash her. it's kind of a bummer to read people's negative comments that are just from anger and have nothing to do with Roger or Supertramp or the music. "it's about the music man"

[Bjovolf]

Watch out for MegaKippers!

She is NOT the Roger H. fan she pretends to be in all the RH and ST threads. She terrorises fans & threatens them, EVEN if they do comply to her "nice" requests (mentioning RH as the composer & RH's site).

She made YT close my "Hide in Your Shell" thread (ElvenDane) with over 400,000 views and lots of FREE PR for RH- and ST-related material and sites. And she even made YT close my account at the same time - for no reason!

[maiotirane1980]

only fantastic marco italy

[MegaKippers]

Roger Hodgson is the singer/songwriter and composer of Take the Long Way Home. He and Rick wrote separately even though they shared writing credit.

[legman27]

It is widely known as a Soprano Saxophone,so if you're ever on a game show and you'd like to win, know it by this name.

[taxilars]

Supertramp, that`s music !! All the great songs like, School, Dreamer or Take the long way home.

Absolut fantastic !!

I say hello from Germany and wish all the fan`s from Roger, remember all the good times, you have had.

[swingersonian]

But it does look more like a saxaphone, sorry.

[mixerman226]

Pure talent, the best composer of our time.

[tete3002]

i agree

[tete3002]

@mixerman226 he will be here in Brazil may 2010.....i loveeeeee....but i wont br there...sorry

[ferlvs]

@mixerman226

Totally agree! He's my favorite singer/composer/writer/musicia­n!

[sheff76]

this song is about finding and giving to yourself.maybe its time u please yourself in life. people change, but u wake up with yourself EVERY day. the long way home to me means after life fucks with u in the end its about finding inner peace, hopefully with a loved one, but if not with THE loved one, yourself. make sense? im kind of drifting but it makes all the sense in the world to me!

[BrokenneckYgor]

Not long ago, while hiking in rural Quebec, I asked a young woman for directions. The little peasant girl, who was leading a sheep, replied: "OOH! I no speakie ze Anglais! Howz vous wishy a lil Frenchie-style sex, eh?" This song reminds me of that delightful experience.

[Frenchies1967]

Still sounds..........Great !

[horuseye1972]

Give him an harp....holy crap !!

[AbyssiumDr]

J'en ai encore des frissons. J'étais la le 9, et c'était beaucoup trop beau comme concert. J'ai complètement été charmé par la bonté et la générosité de Roger. Il est parfait comme artiste, comme compositeur, et surtout comme interprète. Aucune fausse note à mes oreilles.. vraiment digne de Supertramp.

[PrankYourCall]

3:13 superbbbe !!

[andresf15f6]

Excelentes acordes musicales. Es otra canción de Supertramp que demuestra su gran valía artísitca.

Patricio Villota G.

Quito-Ecuador

[culmie]

It needs the rest of the band, that's what it needs.

Damn shame.

Nice music and he is the voice of ST but.....

[1stlist]

5 out of 5  ...but, it needs the Harmonica...

[MrKnopf]

I think it sounds as good as with the Harmonica, if not a BIT better (I prefer this live - version over the original one).

[lartiste07]

I went to see him last night (again at the Place des Arts at Mtl) and they (he and Aaron) did it with the armonica.

[lklkhjhjdfs]

Vraiment bien meme s'il est presque tout seul ! Superbe chanson

[PoliticsAddict]

long way home WITHOUT THE HARMONICA? I love you roger hodgson but come on man, treat the audience to the studio version. jeez, they paid enough money for the tickets im sure.

[AbyssiumDr]

We had well enough for the price we paid to see him, dont worry about that my friend

[swingersonian]

Fuck that, ya moron. He had an English horn, which is much cooler

[PoliticsAddict]

NO fuck YOU! now don't ever, ever comment on my posts again. you worthless piece of shit.

[swingersonian]

Nazi fag, you.

[padraig971]

magnique... immortel !!!

[empiricalpoet]

bravo

[maedvima]

cresci ouvindo isso...maravilhoso. nao se desgasta,um som eterno...otimo

[DerBenedikt]
