Breakfast in Bilbao (Supertramp not dead)

 I have just arrived from Barakaldo, a city close to Bilbao. Now is 2.10 am in the Basque Country. And again it´s really funny because i have just arrived from San Francisco (California) and here i´m having breakfast with Supertramp. Do you remember that group?
Well. we have grown up with them and they are remembering right now the release of one of their best albums: Breakfast in America.
They are touring now and the concert in Barakaldo is been really good. The virtuosity (Amaia, the Almirant and i were thinking about that double Lp in Paris) on the stage has been incredible. Every song they played is been responded with applauses, cheers, shouts, dancings, claps and whatever you can imagine. Outstanding. People is been perfect today. And it´s funny too because Chris McCandless called himself Alexander Supertramp in his adventure in Alaska. What a coincidence, guys¡¡¡¡¡¡

OF COURSE i know Roger Hogdson is not playing in Supertramp since ?????? two decades of even more (i don´t know exactly), but it doesn´t matter. The music is there, my friend. And the tunes they have played tonight are fantastic, terrific, awesome.




And here is Roger (in 1989, along) with a scream againts the american society in USA

"What would you say if they are calling you a radical, a liberal, fanatical a criminal??????"




They have been puting all that typical images about LA(you know girls, Hollywood, the star system.......) And it´s been funny. Yesterday i was in San Francisco and today having breakfast with Supertramp.
That is life, my friends, that is LIFE.

See you soon. My jet lag is not really bad so i´m goin´to sleep now. Before the concert, we´ve been in Panera having drinks with my people. Nice to meet everybody again here. That is my tribe and i enjoy with them a lot. I´m really lucky having all that incredible people with me (and me with them. of course). I´m really lucky, i can assure it.

  1. I am sorry but your videos don’t work for me. It's not Roger Hodgson. The first video is Supertramp 2002 without Roger Hodgson and(Mark Hart singing Roger’s song)and the second one is Roger Hodgson performing solo in 2007 from his Live DVD “Take the Long Way Home” and not Supertramp. So the information you say with the videos is incorrect. Also, for the record, Roger played in California last year to a sold out crowd and I also heard that he will be playing in California again next year so you can have both. Roger has a tour blog on his website and you can read more on all his shows from fans who have seen Roger on tour and love what he is doing. Here is a review from his California concert.

    Wow! Just got home from a very, very special and way awesome Roger concert at Pechanga, Temecula, CA. Words cannot describe the energy that Roger delivered and that we absorbed tonight. For all that attended this show -you know what I mean! Thank you Roger for giving us your heart and soul this evening - you killed us! Dreamer, as well as every other song, was vocally the best I have ever heard!

    Roger brings me right into the songs and music when he plays and there is a magical journey he takes you on that is so amazing to experience. I love how he shares the inspiration behind the song and their true meaning. He makes you feel like you are part of the show and not just the ticket buying public. His voice is strong and clear and to me he sounds even better now than when he was with Supertramp by far. There are tons of great videos and information on his website rogerhodgson.com. Check it out!

  3. Thanks for the information posted in the blog Annonimus (jajajajaj)about Supertramp and Roger too. Yeah. It´s what i have written my friend the first one is Supertramp and the second one is Roger Hodgson alone, in the video they say is Erasure 1989, but i can see that you are an incredible fan of Supertramp, so probably you are right about the year and the tour. Sorry.
    In any case, the important thing yesterday was the music and Supertramp were awesome the other night. Enjoy if you can (live i mean) cause it´s worth seeing them even after all those years.
    Thankyou for the information and the web site too, my friend.
    Goodluck.
