Roger Hodgson,
former lead singer and co-founder of the rock band Supertramp, gave a
memorable performance on Sunday, August 11 to a packed crowd of concert
goers at the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa.
His performance brought a bit of nostalgia to fans as they sang along to memorable hit songs such as 'Breakfast in America' and 'Dreamer'.
Accompanied by band members: Kevin Adamson on keyboards, David J. Carpenter on bass guitar, Bryan Head on drums and Aaron MacDonald on Saxophones, Harmonica, Keyboards and flute — the concert opened with the song 'Long Way Home' followed by 'School' and other well-known hits such as 'Dreamer', 'Logical Song', 'Sister Moonshine', 'Give a Little Bit', 'Breakfast in America', 'Dreamer', 'Take the Long Way Home' ending with 'It's Raining Again' as the finale with the crowd singing and dancing along.
During his concert Hodgson also included newer songs and songs from his solo album such as 'Lovers in the Wind', 'Death and a Zoo', 'Love is a Thousand Times' and 'Along Came Mary'.
Surprisingly Roger's singing voice is in great shape, remaining the same over the years that delivered a brilliant live performance that just seems to get better.

You don't have to be a baby boomer. Roger's concerts have
fans from 4 generations, it's totally amazing, like the Beatles Roger's Music
has stood the test of time.

Wow amazing article and performance. I love all the
Supertramp hits Roger has written and performs but I'm really glad to hear more
from his solo albums too. He has more material then anyone could do in a few
hours. Thanks for this article and Thanks Roger for so many fantastic
performances.

Do you hear that whisper on the wind....... At first it's barely audible, like the chimes you hear in the distance.... but then it becomes louder, more familiar and suddenly your heart jumps for it recognizes the notes it's feeling... The whisper of Roger's music through your soul.

Once again, the performance at Costa Mesa brings you back
to the beginning, reminds you of the important things in life. Friends, family,
loving those who are quickly becoming your family all with Roger's music as the
soundtrack. Go, travel to experience this feeling for yourself.
Thank you Roger for sharing your gifts with us..... Much,
much love to you all. Lisa Doxrude

Fantastic concert last night from Roger Hodgson and his
band! Too bad it didn't go on for hours more! I can't wait for his return. I
bought my ticket the day they went on sale and have been waiting patiently.
Needless to say, the wait was more than worth it! What a voice Roger has! He
sounds even better today than on my Supertramp vinyls. Each member of his band
is multi-talented and a fine group of musicians they are! I think the highlight
of the show for me was just looking out at the audience and seeing people of
all ages and all backgrounds coming together as one and singing along word for
word, loving every minute of the show. Roger is the best of the best. Any Supertramp
fan needs to see Roger's show and see the voice and sprit of the band. I saw
several upcoming US tour dates listed on Events at https://www.Facebook.com/Roger....
Give yourself a gift and GO!
