A superb live (DTS) recording in HD - essential if you are a Supertramp fan!

This is a great recording, shot in High Definition (HD), of a superb performance in June 2006 by former Supertramp vocalist, co-founder and multi-instrumentalist, Roger Hodgson. This DVD was actually issued late last year in Canada but this new version adds an excellent DTS surround sound mix (less compressed) and new artwork/photos. If you are a fan of Supertramp this is an essential purchase. However, Roger's solo output (which is also fantastic) is also represented here as well as a couple of unreleased tracks. However, it is the extras which go to make this DVD extra special. A great deal of effort has gone into these and in addition to interviews with Roger and some of his fans, there are behind the scenes sections including some lovely footage of the soundcheck with Roger really cutting loose and playing some lovely piano music as the stage hands and technicians scurry round getting prepared. The fact that this show became the best selling DVD in Canada last year must tell you why you should see it. This is one of my fave DVDs and I have over a thousand in my collection! Don't just take my word for it though - read all the glowing testimonials from others who have enjoyed this wonderful show on www.rogerhodgson.com. Now I just can't wait for Roger's tour in the UK later this year. Let's hope that a similar high quality DVD is put together for Supertramp. The fact that this wonderful group have little high quality out on DVD is surely the 'Crime of the Century'!!

This DVD is a stunning reminder of the talent of Roger Hodgson. The name may ring a bell to some "older" folks but his music is enjoyed by all ages. The signature voice of Supertramp is back, and better than ever.
Reminding us of such hits like "Take THe Long Way Home", "Give a Little Bit", "School", "Dreamer","Logical Song", "Crazy", "It's Raining Again", and way more, this DVD is a wonderful way to enjoy songs, when it was truly made of music, unlike much of today's techno-jabble.
The production itself is awesome, filmed in Canada's Montreal, and in wonderful HD. And you can't beat the glorious Dolby digital 5.1 sound.
And the bonus footage with an Orchestra is hopefully a teaser for yet another DVD.
Roger is truly one of the worlds most brilliant artists and incredibly underrated. Lets just hope, this DVD will not be his "famous last words."

Amazing Performer!
Being a Supertramp fan from the mid-70s until the band's break-up in 1983, I HAD to get this DVD. I thought it would be nice to have even though Roger Hodgson left Supertramp. Read more

Brilliant Solo Performance
If you like Supertramp, buy this DVD. This is Roger Hodgson at his very best. I missed seeing him in concert earlier this year. But this more than makes up for it.
