Supertramp (formed in 1969) is an English progressive rock and pop band, founded by Rick Davies, hailing from London, England.

From the ashes of Rick Davies’ previous group The Joint, which had been funded by Dutch millionaire Stanley August Miesegaes, Davies, with the backing of Miesegaes, formed Supertramp. Alongside bassist and vocalist Roger Hodgson, guitarist Richard Palmer, and percussionist Keith Baker, who was soon replaced by Robert Millar, the group made their debut at the P. N. Club in Munich, Germany. With a repertoire of only four songs, including two covers, the band, previously dubbed Daddy, changed their name to Supertramp – inspired by William Henry Davies’ “The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp”.

The band’s eponymously-titled debut album was released in 1970 after being one of the first bands to sign with A&M Records. With a sound reminiscent of British progressive rock band Cressida, the album earned positive reviews from critics however lacked a large audience. After the release both Palmer and Millar left the group due to conflicts and were replaced by Frank Farrell and Kevin Currie respectively. Supertramp’s sophomore album “Indelibly Stamped” was released in 1971 with songwriting responsibilities falling to Hodgson and Davies. The album proved even less popular than its predecessor and resulted in all members except Hodgson and Davies departing the group.

By this point Miesegaes had stopped funding the band and Supertramp were in the market for new musicians to join its ranks. The new line-up, as of 1973, included Bob Siebenberg on drums, John Helliwell on saxophone, Douggie Thompson on bass, alongside Davies and Hodgson. In 1974 Supertramp released their third studio album “Crime of the Century” which marked the band’s breakthrough into the mainstream. Spawning the singles “Dreamer” and “Bloody Well Right” the album charted at No. Four in the UK, No. 38 in the U.S., and No. One in Canada.

Feeling the pressure of their breakthrough album and rushed to complete its successor, Supertramp released “Crisis? What Crisis?” in November 1975. Featuring leftover songs from “Crime of the Century” the band regard the album as one of their worst despite its popular reviews from critics. Supertramp’s follow-up album “Even in the Quietest Moments…” released in 1977, aided by the single “Give a Little Bit”, was another popular gestalt album reaching No. 12 in the UK.

Following the album Supertramp relocated to California, U.S., and released their highest charting album to date “Breakfast in America”. Released in March 1979, the album reached No. Three in the UK, and No. One in the U.S and Canada. Aided by the popular singles “The Logical Song”, “Goodbye Stranger”, “Take the Long Way Home”, and “Breakfast in America”, the album was supported by a record breaking 120-date world tour. After “Breakfast in America” the band took a break from touring and recording, later releasing the two disc live LP “Paris” in 1980.

During the hiatus Hodgson moved to Northern California with his family to build a studio and focus on his spirituality. Around this time Hodgson and Davies found it harder to share a mutual musical middle ground and seemed to grow further apart with the geographical distance. Supertramp’s seventh studio album “Famous Last Words” was released in 1982 and spawned the singles “It’s Raining Again” and “My Kind of Lady”. Following the release Hodgson, the band’s lead vocalist, left the group to focus on solo material and his family. With Davies at the fore, Supertramp’s follow-up album “Brother Where You Bound” was issued in 1985 featuring guitar solos from Pink Floyd’s David Gilmore.

In a move towards the electronically-induced synthetic sounds, the band’s 1987 album “Free as a Bird” was dismissed by fans and critics alike, however the single “I’m Beggin’ You” reached No. One on the US dance chart. Following a supporting tour, where Hodgson-penned songs were played to a minimum, the band decided to take a break which would last until 1996. The reunion resulted in the studio album “Some Things Never Change” in 1997, and the live album “It Was the Best of Times” in 1999, followed by “Slow Motion” in April 2002.

Live reviews

As much as documentaries and books would like to make you think differently, practically no-one in the seventies listened to any of the cool music that came out in the seventies. The Ramones? Kraftwerk? Joy Division? They were nobodies, obscurities that most people wrote off as hipster nonsense, if they were aware of them at all. After writing those classic artists off, the ones with taste would go back to listening to Supertramp. Sometimes quality does lead to popularity and their brand of prog infused soft rock may have made them one of the most popular bands in the world at the time, but when they were that good, both live and on record, they deserved it as much as anyone else did. What’s apparent today is that while founding member and main songwriter Roger Hodgson is no longer in the foil the rest of the band gel better than ever. Needless to say the instrumental chops are impeccable, which would come from nearly half a century of experience but it is inspiring to watch. Rick Davies more than makes up for Hodgson’s absence by providing lead vocals for the band and saxophonist John Helliwell is our host for the night, introducing the songs and interacting with the crowd with an easy charm. Supertramp then, at this point there’s never going to be any surprises, but when a band has hits like Breakfast in America, Bloody Well Right, The Logical Song and Goodbye Stranger, and can still put on a show that’s fun of the highest order, who needs surprises?

Report as inappropriate

The current lineup of Supertramp is just not the same without Roger Hodgson. Roger's voice is very distinct and the songs he wrote are the signature sound of Supertramp (The Logical Song, Dreamer, Take the Long Way Home, Breakfast in America, Give a Little Bit, School , Fool's Overture, It's Raining Again to name just a few). I saw the most recent lineup of Supertramp for their 2011 tour, and was disappointed into thinking Roger would be performing with them especially because of all the promotions going around using Roger's voice, but when I got to the venue it was Mark Hart singing Roger's songs at which point I had left the venue, went right home and read more about Roger (thankfully discovered he is still actively touring) and that I still had the opportunity to experience the songs in concert from the original songwriter with the genuine "Supertramp sound".

Roger co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and though many of his songs are recognized as Supertramp songs, they were solely composed by Roger. I've left all thoughts about seeing this version of Supertramp behind, and am glad to have discovered Roger Hodgson and his more personal, connected concert experience, thankfully with many shows to look forward to this year.

Supertramp, the iconic London rock group who achieved great success in the 70's and 80's are still touring to their legions of devoted fans globally. Packed into the spanning O2 Arena, the audience is a combination of those original fans who are well into their 70s along with those who simply enjoy the band's legacy and style.

As the bombastic guitar riffs begin and the flared lighting illuminates the entire arena the crowd roar in excitement. The veteran rockers launch themselves onto the stage like a band half their age, the singalongs to 'Breakfast in America' and 'Gone Hollywood' are deafening as Roger Hodgson evokes even louder cheers from the baying crowds.

The band were such an important influence on progressive rock and so many of their albums have affected modern music. Therefore the choice in setlist is questionable, yet all the hits are there and the audience cheer for 'Goodbye Stranger' and 'It's Raining Again'. The band leaves their fans with sore throats, tired legs and happy hearts.

I've known and followed Supertramp from the first album, clearly everything changed after songwriter Roger Hodgson left the band in 1983. The dynamics of the band completely changed; Supertramp in their prime had 5 members... now 10 members this year. Not the Supertramp I saw in the 70s, there just isn't the same chemistry and it is difficult and uncomfortable sitting through other musicians performing Roger's songs just to hear a handful of Rick's songs. Then seeing Roger at the Royal Albert Hall in 2013 re-ignited the feelings and immersive aural experience I once had seeing Tramp in '75 & '79. Roger was a tour de force, nailed the harmonies and a set filled with both classic faves and deep track highlights, it had more depth and authenticity of the Supertramp I once knew. Didn't hesitate to book when I discovered Roger's returning to Albert Hall, I know from the start it will be a more fulfilling show and wouldn't chance another disappointment seeing "Supertramp".

I saw both Supertramp and the band's co-founder, Roger Hodgson, on their respective tours in 2010. I can honestly say there is no comparison and I have made it a point to see Roger live several times since. While Rick has some great songs of his own, there is nothing better than seeing Roger singing the songs he wrote - Give a Little Bit, Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, Take the Long Way Home, Dreamer, Fool's Overture, It's Raining Again, School, and so many more. His voice is so unique that absolutely no one else can do his songs justice. It is Roger Hodgson who truly gives me the essence and spirit of Supertramp. I can't wait to see him again this year on his Breakfast in America World Tour.

Paris (Live) [Remastered]

After years as cult heroes, U.K. art rockers Supertramp sanded off their artier edges and amped up their pop tendencies for their 1979 breakthrough, Breakfast in America. The next year, the band released Paris, which documents a stop in the City of Lights on their Breakfast tour. But while the set list here includes the recent singles that were monopolizing the radio at the time ("The Logical Song," "Take the Long Way Home," "Breakfast in America"), this luminous live recording is dominated by older material, which much of Supertramp's newly expanded audience was probably experiencing for the first time. What the newbies hearing the shows and subsequent album learned was that even though some of Supertramp's earlier tunes were extended affairs full of prog-rock twists and turns ("Fool's Overture," "Crime of the Century"), all of them were laced with the same sort of pop charms the aforementioned hits possessed. Case in point: the frothy "Dreamer"—the studio cut had stiffed as a single in the U.S. several years earlier, but the vivid live version became a major hit in 1980.

[2] Palmer's role was taken over by Hodgson, with Frank Farrell joining on bass and Kevin Currie joining on drums. [2] After the release of their second album Indelibly Stamped in June 1971, Supertramp began to fracture as they lost their funding and Farrell, Currie and Winthrop all left the band between 1972 and 1973. [2]

Davies and Hodgson rebuilt Supertramp in 1973, bringing in new members Dougie Thomson on bass, Bob Siebenberg on drums and John Helliwell on saxophone and woodwind instruments, who together released the band's "breakthrough" album Crime of the Century in 1974. [3] This lineup remained stable for a total of ten years, until Hodgson left in 1983 following a period of "musical differences" with the rest of the group, mainly Davies. [4] The group continued as a four-piece with touring musicians following Hodgson's departure, releasing the less successful Brother Where You Bound in 1985 and Free as a Bird in 1987, before breaking up the following year. [5]

In 1996, Supertramp reformed with returning members Davies, Siebenberg and Helliwell, plus new members Mark Hart (keyboards, guitar, vocals), Carl Verheyen (guitar, backing vocals), Cliff Hugo (bass), Lee Thornburg (trumpet, trombone, backing vocals) and Tom Walsh (percussion). After the release of Some Things Never Change in 1997, Walsh was replaced by Jesse Siebenberg, son of drummer Bob. [6] Slow Motion followed in 2002. [2] Davies and Hodgson tried on several occasions to reunite in Supertramp, to no avail. [7] In April 2010, Davies reformed Supertramp to commemorate the band's 40th anniversary, [8] with Gabe Dixon replacing Mark Hart, and new member Cassie Miller joining on backing vocals. [9] Hart returned in 2015, although a concert tour was cancelled due to Davies undergoing treatment for cancer. [10]

Artists and Albums of the '70s and '80s.

Supertramp was an English rock band that released nine studio albums and a live double-LP on A&M between 1970 and 1987. Their radio evergreens include “School,” “Give a Little Bit,” “The Logical Song,” “Goodbye Stranger,” and “Take the Long Way Home.” Their sound ranges from rock, folk, and R&B to cabaret and orchestral pop.

They were formed in late 1969 by the songwriting team of singer–multi-instrumentalist Roger Hodgson and singer–keyboardist Rick Davies, who served as the two mainstays of the band until Hodgson’s departure in 1983. On their self-titled debut , the pair shared writing duties with musician–wordsmith Richard Palmer-James, who later penned lyrics for Emergency and King Crimson .

Supertramp’s first two albums witnessed the transfer of several members, but the lineup stabilized to a classic five-piece with the 1974 release Crime of the Century . The album elevated the band to global prominence, as sustained through the ensuing releases Crisis? What Crisis? (1975), Even in the Quietest Moments… (1977), and Breakfast in America (1979).

After their 1982 release …Famous Last Words… and the hits “My Kind of Lady” and “It’s Raining Again,” Hodgson left for a solo career. Supertramp continued as an augmented four-piece with the 1985 album Brother Where You Bound , noted for the dance-crossover hit “Cannonball” and the doomsday epic title track, released with an accompanying mini-film.

Supertramp disbanded after 1987’s Free as a Bird but reunited for the discs Some Things Never Change (1997) and Slow Motion (2002).

Members: Rick Davies (vocals, keyboards, harmonica, melodica), Roger Hodgson (vocals, bass, keyboards, guitar, flageolet, violoncello, 1970-83), Richard Palmer-James (guitar, balalaika, vocals, 1970-71), Robert Millar (drums, percussion, harmonica, 1970-71), Dave Winthrop (saxophone, flute, vocals, 1970-73), Kevin Currie (drums, percussion, 1971-73), Frank Farrell (bass, piano, accordion, vocals, 1971-72), Dougie Thomson (bass, 1972-88), Bob Siebenberg [aka Bob C. Benberg] (drums, percussion, 1973-88, 1996-2002, 2010-present), John A. Helliwell (saxophone, clarinet, keyboards, melodica, vocals, 1973-88, 1996-2002, 2010-present), Mark Hart (vocals, keyboards, guitar, 1985-88, 1996-2002), Carl Verheyen (guitar, 1985-86)

Supertramp was assembled in late 1969 by Swindon-born keyboardist–singer Rick Davies. The venture was undertaken at the behest of benefactor Stanley “Sam” August Miesegaes, a Dutch millionaire who funded Davies’ prior band, psych-rockers The Joint . Through a classified in Melody Maker , Davies found bassist–singer Roger Hodgson , guitarist Richard Palmer, and percussionist Keith Baker. Hodgson had just cut a single as Argosy with a then little-known Elton John .

The new band initially called itself Daddy. After a few months, Baker was replaced by drummer Robert Millar. (Baker briefly joined Uriah Heep for their 1971 second album Salisbury .) Several months of band rehearsals preceded a live stint at Munich’s P. N. Club, where they were filmed performing a 10-minute version of “All Along the Watchtower.”

To avoid confusion with rustic-rockers Daddy Longlegs, the band changed its name to Supertramp, inspired by The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp by Welsh poet W. H. Davies. In the spring of 1970, they signed to the newly opened UK branch of A&M Records.

On June 5, 1970, Supertramp made their London premier at the Lyceum Theatre supporting Procol Harum , Argent , and Hard Meat . On the 30th, they did their first of six sessions for BBC Radio One DJ John Peel, playing variations of three titles (“It’s a Long Road,” “I Try Again,” “Birds of Prey”) from their upcoming album.

1970: Supertramp

Hodgson sings everything apart from two co-leads apiece with Davies (“Nothing to Show,” “Shadow Song”) and Palmer (“Maybe I’m a Beggar,” “Try Again”). He plays flageolet on the last three and bass on the whole album. Palmer plays the balalaika, a triangular Russian stringed instrument, on “Words Unspoken.”

Supertramp was self-produced at Morgan Sound Studios in North London during June 1970 with engineer Robert Black, who also worked on albums that year by Edwards Hand , Jethro Tull , Keef Hartley Band , Red Dirt , Stone the Crows , and T2 .

On the initial UK pressing of Supertramp , the LP labels bear the title And I’m Not Like Other . A&M issued the album concurrently in Italy, Oceania, and Canada. After their global breakthrough, Supertramp appeared in Germany (1976), Spain, Portugal, and the US (1977).

Artist Bob Hook designed the cover, which shows a flower with human facial features. Two years later, Genesis frontman Peter Gabriel adopted a similar visual (a flower mask) for live performances of the song “Willow Farm,” the fifth part of their 22-minute suite “Supper’s Ready” on Foxtrot .

“Nothing to Show” appears on the 1971 German Ariola comp Think – Pop Progress ’71 , a two-record set with tracks by Gary Wright , Humble Pie , J imi Hendrix , Man , The Move , Paul Brett’s Sage , Procol Harum , Status Quo , Strawbs , and Titus Groan . “Words Unspoken” and “I Am Not Like Other Birds of Prey” are heard in the 1971 UK documentary film Extremes with music by Arc and Roy Budd.

Live Dates, Festivals

After the completion of Supertramp , reedist Dave Winthrop joined on flute, saxophone, and backing vocals. He came from The Mooche, which covered the Bubble Puppy psych-rock anthem “Hot Smoke and Sasafrass” on a 1969 Pye single, backed with the original “Seen Through a Light” by organist Brian Tatum (later of glitter-popsters Mud).

During July–August 1970, Supertramp promoted their album throughout Greater London on bills with Black Widow (7/5/70: Farx, Southhall), Keef Hartley Band (7/14/70: Marquee), Groundhogs (7/24/70: Marquee), Derek & The Dominoes (8/1/70: Roundhouse), and Yes (8/2/70: Greyhound, Croydon). A larger bill took place at the Roundhouse on August 16 with Heads Hands and Feet , Trader Horn , Writing On the Wall , Wishbone Ash , and Frankie Miller ‘s band Howl.

After a northern stop with Mott the Hoople and Quintessence (8/21/70/: Mayfair Ballroom, Newcastle), Supertramp played the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival, a five-day event with sets by Cactus , Chicago , The Doors , Donovan , Emerson Lake & Palmer , Fairfield Parlour , Family , Free , Hawkwind , Heaven , Joni Mitchell , Lighthouse , Mighty Baby , Miles Davis , Moody Blues , Pentangle , Pink Fairies , Shawn Phillips , Sly & the Family Stone , Taste , Voices of East Harlem , and The Who . Supertramp played on the second day (Thursday the 27th) along with Gary Farr , Gracious , and Terry Reid .

During the final third of 1970, Supertramp played notable gigs with The Pretty Things and Trapeze (9/13/70: Lyceum), Blodwyn Pig (10/9/70: Darwin College, Canterbury), Cochise (11/27/70: Westfield College, London), Barclay James Harvest and Faces (12/23/70: Tooting Castle), plus a BBC In Concert set supporting Caravan (10/11/70).

In October, Supertramp played the Drittes Essener Pop & Blues Festival at Grugahalle in Essen, Germany. The four-day event featured Brinsley Schwarz , Chicken Shack , East of Eden , Fotheringay , Ginger Baker’s Air Force , Gun , Jack Bruce , John McLaughlin , Larry Young , May Blitz , Tony Williams Lifetime , and the German acts Embryo , Guru Guru , Witthuser & Westrup , Wolfgang Dauner Group, and Xhol . Supertramp played on day three (the 24th) along with Savoy Brown and headliners the Moody Blues.

1971: New Lineup

Palmer quit Supertramp in mid-December 1970. (One of Palmer’s newer co-writes with Davies, “Goldrush,” became the opening number of Supertramp’s 1971–72 setlist but remained unrecorded until 2002.) In 1973, Palmer surfaced as the guitarist and lyricist for German brass-rockers Emergency . He also replaced Pete Sinfield as the lyricist for King Crimson on their 1973/74 albums Larks’ Tongues in Aspic , Starless and Bible Black , and Red .

Supertramp initially replaced Palmer with guitarist Davy O’List, last heard on The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack , the 1968 debut album by The Nice . He lasted only one gig but later surfaced in Jet , a 1975 one-off formed by backing players of Ron and Russell Mael, aka Sparks .

In January 1971, Supertramp embarked on an ill-fated tour of Norway, after which Millar suffered a nervous breakdown and left the band. Davies and Hodgson employed a new rhythm section: bassist Frank Farrell — who also played piano and accordion — and drummer Kevin Currie.

Farrell hailed from Brummie psych-rockers Breakthru’, which recorded an album’s worth of material yet only managed one release, the 1968 Mercury single “Ice-Cream Tree” (b/w “ Julius Caesar ”). Currie came from psychsters Orange Bicycle , which issued multiple 1967–70 singles, including the French No. 1 “Hyacinth Threads.”

Notable winter–spring 1971 shows include dates with Stray (1/22/71: North London Polytechnic), Colosseum (1/29/71: CF Mott College, Liverpool), Genesis ( 2/28/71: Roxburgh Hall, Stowe ), and Gentle Giant (3/18/71: Manchester University). Supertramp recorded their second album during May–June 1971 at Olympic Studios, London.

Indelibly Stamped

In contrast to Supertramp , most of the vocals are sung by Davies, who imparts his rock and blues roots on numbers like “Your Poppa Don’t Mind.” Hodgson sings lead on three cuts, including the ballad “Rosie Had Everything Planned,” a Farrell co-write. Winthrop sings lead on the side two opener “Potter.”

Supertramp self-produced Indelibly Stamped with engineer Bob Hall, a tech hand on 1970–72 recordings by Brinsley Schwarz, Eddie Hardin , Rod McKuen, and Roger Ruskin Spear . Select cuts feature Davies on the Wurlitzer electric piano, Supertramp’s signature instrument on later albums. One example, “Forever,” presages the sound of their next five albums.

Hodgson plays bass for the last time on “Rosie,” which features Farrell on piano and accordion. It’s the only track in Supertramp’s catalogue with no Davies writing involvement.

Hook designed the gatefold cover, which features a topless torso closeup of a heavily tattooed female, later identified as ink-art model Marion Hollier. The back cover shows a zoomed-in shot of a tattoo depicting twin tigers. A b&w lineup shot of the hirsute quintet appears on the inner-gates.

A&M lifted “Forever” as Supertramp’s first single in the US (b/w “Your Poppa Don’t Mind”). In Argentina, Indelibly Stamped appeared under the Spanish title Estampado Indeleble with translated song names.

Summer 1971–1972: Live Events, Peel Sessions

Supertramp supported Indelibly Stamped with summer 1971 double-bills with Bram Stoker (7/2/71: Temple Club, London), T. Rex (7/3/71: Starlight Rooms, Boston, England), Stackridge (8/18/71: De Valance Pavilion, Tenby, Wales), and Tír na nÓg (8/21/71: Starlight Rooms).

That September, Supertramp embarked on a 10-date UK tour with Ten Years After and folkster Keith Christmas . It commenced at Bristol’s Colston Hall (9/14/71) and wrapped at Birmingham’s Town Hall (10/4/71). On October 9, they played Borough Road College in Isleworth with Gentle Giant, who were then plugging their second album Acquiring the Taste .

Late ’71 dates included shows with Gong (11/11/71: Hammersmith Town Hall, London) and Graphite (12/3/71: Salford University, Manchester). On December 18, Supertramp played Leys Club, Letchworth, with two newcomers: Belgian jazz-rockers Banzai and Irish symphonic-rockers Fruupp .

During the first three months of 1972, Supertramp played six dates with Ten Years After, including Continental stops in Bern (Festhalle), Brussels (Forest National), and Rotterdam (Ahoy). On March 4, 1972, they played Bradford University with rising stars Slade . With no new album in the pipeline, Supertramp played mid-year shows with Aubrey Small and the Edgar Broughton Band (7/2/72: South Parade Pier, Southsea) and UFO (7/7/72: Hastings Pier Ballroom).

Farrell departed for Fields , a Rare Bird spinoff that issued the 1971 album Fields on CBS. He played on their intended second album, which remained vaulted for 43 years. Its contents finally appeared in 2015 on the Esoteric Recordings disc Contrasts Urban Roar to Country Peace . Farrell then partnered with Leo Sayer on the singer’s 1975 third album Another Year , co-writing all the songs including “Only Dreaming,” “Another Year,” and the hit “Moonlighting.”

On August 22, 1972, Supertramp performed their second Peel Session (broadcast 9/12/72), which featured four new numbers: “Pony Express,” “School,” “Everyone Is Listening,” and “I Can See.” A number of fall shows followed, including dates with Wild Turkey (10/14/72: University of London Union) and Roxy Music (11/8/72: Liverpool Stadium).

Miesegaes withdrew his financial support in October 1972. Undaunted, Supertramp taped their third Peel Session (broadcast 11/23/72), performing “Pony” and three new numbers: “Summer Romance,” “Rudy,” and “Dreamer.” With their expanding repertoire of new songs, they dropped all the Supertramp numbers from their setlist apart from “Home Again” and “Surely.”

1973: Classic Lineup Forms

On March 22, 1973, Supertramp was back at the BBC for their fourth Peel Session, performing “Dreamer,” “Black Cat,” “Hey Laura,” and “Bloody Well Right.”

By mid-1973, Currie and Winthrop cleared from the lineup. Currie drummed on John Cale ‘s 1977 EP Animal Justice and joined comedy sax-rockers Burlesque in time for their eponymous second album of ’77.

Winthrop joined Stan Webb’s Chicken Shack for the 1978 albums The Creeper and That’s the Way We Are . He then joined mod revivalists Secret Affair and played sax on their 1979 album Glory Boys . During 1981/82, Winthrop played on albums by Ruts DC , Lili Drop , and ex- Doctors of Madness frontman Richard Strange.

Meanwhile, Davies and Hodgson formed the rhythm section behind four songs (“You and Me,” “ Reality In Arrears ,” “ Ode To an Angel,” “You’re Not Listening” ) on the 1973 Chrysalis release You & Me , the singular solo album by Ten Years After keyboardist Chick Churchill. The four songs feature Davies on drums, his childhood instrument that he abandoned as a teenager.

In June 1973, Supertramp hired Scottish bassist Dougie Thomson, a late-period member of the Alan Bown Set . That month, they recorded a fifth Peel Session, performing “Chicken Man,” “Down In Mexico,” “Just a Normal Day,” and “Land Ho.”

In August, Supertramp welcomed American drummer Bob Siebenberg, a native of Glendale, Calif. He first recorded with garage rockers The Ilford Subway, which issued the 1967 single “The 3rd Prophecy” (b/w “A New Song”) on small-press Equinox. That band also featured his brother-in-law, guitarist Scott Gorham, a future member of Thin Lizzy . After arriving in the UK, Siebenberg joined pub-rockers Bees Make Honey, which made the 1973 EMI album Music Every Night . He also played on Private Parts , the 1972 debut album by Jamaican-born singer–actor Peter Straker .

Supertramp completed its classic five-piece lineup with reedist John Anthony Helliwell, Thomson’s erstwhile Bown colleague. Helliwell played with the Alan Bown Set from its early days, appearing on the 1968/69 albums Outward Bown (with singer Jess Roden ) and The Alan Bown! (with Robert Palmer ).

The Supertramp lineup of Davies, Hodgson, Helliwell, Siebenberg, and Thomson would hold for ten years and make five studio albums.

1974: Crime of the Century

By early 1974, Supertramp amassed 42 demos of new originals, of which they selected eight for their upcoming third album and several more for the followup. Despite the Davies–Hodgson credit on all numbers, the two mostly wrote separately by this point.

Sessions for Supertramp’s third album — the first of the classic five-piece — took place between February and June 1974 at three London studios: Trident, Ramport, and Scorpio Sound. They titled the album Crime of the Century after the closing track, which the band felt was the album’s strongest piece. Supertramp co-produced their new material with studio veteran Ken Scott.

A preview from these sessions, not part of the upcoming album, was the March 1974 single “Land Ho” (b/w “Summer Romance”). The back-sleeve promo blurb describes the a-side as a “rousing, stomping number” with “shades of the Beach Boys here, with some polished, precision harmonies.” It was issued on A&M in the UK and Portugal, where it soon became a rarity. (Hodgson would rerecord “Land Ho” for his 1987 second solo album Hai Hai .)

On May 23, Supertramp did their sixth and final Peel Session (broadcast 6/6/74), performing “If Everyone Was Listening,” “School,” and “Bloody Well Right.”

Hodgson plays guitar, piano and the Wurlitzer and Fender Rhodes electric pianos. He used the Wurlitzer years beforehand at age 19 (Argosy era) when he composed “Dreamer,” a song he waited three years to introduce to Supertramp’s live set. Davies also plays piano and Wurlitzer, plus harmonica and all remaining keyboards. This and the next album feature string arrangements by Richard Hewson ( Clifford T. Ward , Jigsaw , Lesley Duncan , Renaissance ).

Scott worked on Crime of the Century after producing Esperanto , Jonathan Kelly , and the 1971/72 David Bowie albums Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars . His prior credits as an engineer include albums by America , The Beatles ( The Beatles ), Dada , Elton John , Lindisfarne ( Fog On the Tyne ), Mahavishnu Orchestra ( Birds of Fire ), Third Ear Band , and Van Der Graaf Generator ( Pawn Hearts ). Also in 1974, he produced jazz-rock albums by Billy Cobham , Stanley Clarke , and the Jerry Goodman — Jan Hammer release Like Children . The assistant engineer, John Jansen, worked on a string of posthumous Hendrix titles.

Photographer and sleeve designer Paul Wakefield earned his first credit on Crime of the Century . The cover shows disembodied hands clutching at prison bars, adrift in outer space. The back shows the five members disrobed, standing under a constellation holding top hats and trench coats. On the inner-sleeve, their discarded wardrobes are seen clustered and afloat. Wakefield conceived the imagery by combining the album’s title with a line from the song “Asylum”: “when they haunt me and taunt me in my cage.”

Crime of the Century charted in multiple territories, including top 10 placements in the UK (No. 4), Germany (No. 5), and Canada (No. 4). “School” and “Bloody Well Right” became staples of FM radio in the US, where the album reached No. 38 and eventually went Gold. “Dreamer” reached No. 13 on the UK Singles Chart. Supertramp dedicate the album “To Sam” (aka Stanley August Miesegaes). On this and the subsequent five albums, Siebenberg is credited as “Bob C. Benberg.”

Supertramp promoted Crime of the Century with a string of October–November shows throughout England, Scotland, and Wales, including a 10/26/74 date at Manchester University with Soft Machine . They rounded out their 1974 live engagements with three December shows in Bournemouth, Bristol, and the Victoria Palace, London, with support from Irish singer–songwriter Chris De Burgh .

1975: US Debut, Reading Festival

Supertramp commenced six weeks of UK live dates on January 23, 1975, at Sheffield’s City Hall with De Burgh and the Scottish folk-pop duo Gallagher & Lyle (ex- McGuinness Flint ). On April 4, Supertramp made their US live debut at Milwaukee’s Uptown Theatre. Thirty North American dates followed, including an April 20 show with De Burgh at Chicago’s Riviera Ballroom. On June 20, they performed “Bloody Well Right” and “Hide In Your Shell” at NBC Studios, Burbank, for a segment on The Midnight Special .

During the summer of 1975, Supertramp recorded their fourth album with sessions split between London (Ramport, Scorpio) and Los Angeles (A&M Studios).

In August, Supertramp played the 15th National Jazz, Blues & Rock Festival at Little John’s Farm in Reading, England. The three-day event featured sets by Babe Ruth , Climax Blues Band , Dr. Feelgood , Heavy Metal Kids , Joan Armatrading , Judas Priest , Kokomo , and Robin Trower . Supertramp appeared on day two (Saturday the 23rd) along with the Kursaal Flyers , Snafu , String Driven Thing , and Zzebra .

On September 4, Supertramp appeared as the second-billed act (under Status Quo) at the Big Rock Show at the Circus Krone in Munich.

On November 13, Supertramp commenced a winter UK tour in support of their upcoming album. The 30-date tour commenced at Colston Hall and wrapped on December 20 at the Kursaal, Southend-on-Sea. Armatrading performed as the opening act with her backing band The Movies , a spinoff of symphonic-rockers Public Foot the Roman .

Crisis? What Crisis?

Hodgson contributed six songs, including the sitar-paced warmup “Easy Does It” and the acoustic strumalong “Sister Moonshine.” He plays Wurlitzer and marimba on “Lady,” the side two opener that builds from a staccato, arpeggiated verse to a flamboyant bridge and swelling, exuberant “ooh-la-la-la-la” refrain. Concerns arise in “The Meaning,” where Hodgson insists that “you’d better get light in your head” and “you’d better get peace in your bed,” meaning peace and clarity of mind and conscience.

Supertramp co-produced Crisis? with Scott, who also worked on 1975 albums by Stanley Clarke ( Journey to Love ) and the Mahavishnu Orchestra ( Visions of the Emerald Beyond ). Jansen engineered the album with Ed Thacker ( Gino Vannelli , Happy the Man , Hummingbird , The Tubes ) and Will Reid-Dick ( Bandit , Curved Air , Pavlov’s Dog , Roger Daltrey ).

Wakefield arranged the Crisis? cover photography based on a sketch by Davies, who lifted the album’s title from a line in the 1973 political thriller The Day of the Jackal . The grey, industrial imagery was photographed at a Welsh mining valley.

A&M issued “Lady” as a single, backed with the non-album “You Started Laughing When I Held You In My Arms.” Crisis? What Crisis? reached the top 20 in multiple markets, hitting its highest peak in New Zealand (No. 6).

1976: Crisis? World Tour

On January 3, 1976, Supertramp kicked off an 18-date European tour at the Sporthalle in Basel, Switzerland. During the soundcheck before their January 27 show at Tivoli Gardens, Copenhagen, Hodgson conceived a new song, “Even in the Quietest Moments.”

On February 20, they launched a 45-date North American tour at the Allentown Fairgrounds Agricultural Hall in Allentown, Penn. The tour included two-night stands at the Oriental Theatre in Milwaukee (3/13–14), the Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica (3/31–4/1), Warnors Theatre in Fresno (4/2–3), and repeat appearances at the Paramount Theatre in Portland, Oregon (3/20, 4/10).

Supertramp made their sole appearance on Japanese soil with May 28–29 shows in Tokyo. During June, they did an eight-date tour of Australia, followed by a 6/22/76 show at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand.

Supertramp took a four-month break to compose new material. Work on their fifth album commenced in November 1976 with sessions held in two locations: Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles (their new base of operation) and the Caribou Ranch, a Nederland, Colorado, facility owned by music mogul James William Guercio, producer and manager of the band Chicago.

1977: Even in the Quietest Moments…

Davies wrote “Lover Boy,” inspired by ads in men’s magazines about pickup artistry. It shifts through cabaret-piano verses and swelling bridges to a lengthy, chanted middle and outro, which gradually shifts rhythmic gears to a grand fadeout.

Side one also features the Hodgson-penned title track: a slow, frosty acoustic number that recalls Led Zeppelin in their folksier moments. Davies recorded the side-closing ballad “Downstream” unaccompanied in one take with just his voice and piano.

Hodgson’s “Babaji” opens side two with quiet, plaintive verses that break to a stately, cabaret-tinged chorus. Davies’ “From Now On” evolves from an endless set of verses — framed by a circular piano motif — to a harmonized, layering, stratospheric chorus. This and “Lover Boy” recall the “Hey Jude” pattern of the elongated number that grows from piano–voice simplicity to full-scale lavishness.

The album’s closing epic, “Fool’s Overture” (10:52), starts with a sound collage of Churchill excerpts, Big Ben bells, and a flageolet quotation of “Venus” from The Planets suite by English modernist composer Gustav Holst. The verses consist of two metaphor-steeped stanzas of piano and voice, followed by a bridge that ushers a swelling pipe organ theme, approximated in lines like “So you found your solution, what will be your last contribution?” Hodgson pieced the song together over a five-year period.

Concurrently, Henderson worked with mixing engineer and veteran Beatles soundman Geoff Emerick on Dizrythmia , the 1977 third album by Kiwi art-rockers Split Enz . That album shares sonic traits with Quietest Moments , particularly during the instrumental passages on “Without a Doubt” and “Charlie.”

Photographer Bob Seidemann captured the album’s cover image: a snow-covered grand piano situated on the Eldora Mountain Resort near the Caribou Ranch. Seidemann, infamous for the 1969 UK cover to Blind Faith , also captured visuals for 1977 albums by Sparks, Heart , and the Dixie Dregs ( Free Fall ).

A&M lifted “Give a Little Bit” as a single (b/w “Downstream”). It reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. Months later, “Babaji” (b/w “From Now On”) followed as a second single. “Fool’s Overture” and “Even in the Quietest Moments” became popular deep cuts on US FM radio.

Even in the Quietest Moments… reached the top five in multiple territories (No. 1 in Canada and the Netherlands) and became Supertramp’s first top 20 entry on the Billboard 200 (No. 16) and the CashBox Top 100 (No. 19).

Quietest Moments Tour

Supertramp promoted Even in the Quietest Moments… with a North American tour, launched on April 6, 1977, at Exhibition Center in Regina, Saskatchewan. The tour spanned four months and more than 70 shows, including six West Coast dates with Procol Harum, who disbanded after the tour.

On June 1–2, Supertramp did a two-night stand at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, where Helliwell entered Sound Studios to contribute saxophone and clarinet to Bad Reputation , the 1977 eighth studio album by Thin Lizzy. On August 28, Supertramp launched a 30-date European tour with support from French-Canadian symphonic folksters Harmonium .

Supertramp rounded out their 1977 activities with seventeen October–November dates throughout England and Scotland. Their 11/10/77 show at Queen Mary College would be their final live event for sixteen months.

In light of their increased profile and commercial success, Supertramp sensed major breakthrough potential in their next release. They worked painstakingly on their sixth album, which started with two sets of demos and materialized during seven months of recording sessions, which spanned May–December 1978 in Studio B of the Village Recorder in Los Angeles.

1979: Breakfast in America

Hodgson contributed four other songs, including the album’s title track, a music hall impression of American foibles from the eyes of a British lad: a culture shock animated in verses like the following:

Could we have kippers for breakfast Mummy dear, Mummy dear They got to have ’em in Texas ‘Cos everyone’s a millionaire

Hodgson’s ballad “Lord Is It Mine” evolves from plaintive piano and tender voice to a crisp, acoustic, flaring chorus.

Hodgson’s “Take the Long Way Home” opens side two with sunrise harmonica over a tight, cabaret piano pattern. Its verses of self-reflection swell to an open-cadence bridge as the narrator veers between regret and content. It reached No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. This song, like “Breakfast in America” and “The Logical Song,” is rooted in C minor, an unusual key center for charting pop songs.

Davies’ “Goodbye Stranger” follows a freewheeling drifter as he bids ado to a recent fling. He explores his vocal range on this number, starting in characteristic baritone and rising to an animated falsetto in the double-tracked, call-and-response chorus. The song’s revved-up lengthy outro features wailing guitar leads by Hodgson. It reached No. 6 on the Canada Top Singles chart and No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Davies also wrote “Oh Darling,” the climax of side one, plus two numbers on side two: “Casual Conversations,” an after-hours lament bedded in milky Wurlitzer; and “Just Another Nervous Wreck,” a confessional ballad with a rising power chorus.

Supertramp co-produced Breakfast in America with the album’s engineer, Henderson, who also worked on 1978–80 titles by Lion , Wings , and Frank Zappa . The assistant engineer, Lenise Bent, counted Steely Dan ‘s 1977 album Aja among his prior credits. He also worked on 1979/80 albums by Jean Luc-Ponty ( A Taste for Passion ), Shandi , and Blondie . Co-assistant Jeff Harris later worked with Kittyhawk and Animotion .

Breakfast in America features cover imagery conceived by A&M art director Mike Doud with photography by Aaron Rapoport . It depicts an airplane-window view of the Manhattan skyline with Lady Liberty (foreground) represented by a waitress, portrayed by American comedic actress Kate Murtagh. In keeping with the “breakfast” theme, the NYC skyscrapers are recreated with food packaging materials. Rapoport ‘s cover photography is also seen on 1979 albums by Gamma , Sea Level , Styx , and Walter Egan .

Breakfast in America reached No. 1 in ten nations, including the US, Canada, Australia, and multiple European territories. It held the top spot for six weeks in the US, where the album went quadruple Platinum, signifying sales of four million copies. It peaked at No. 2 in Japan and No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart. As of 2020, its global sales figures exceed 20 million copies.

Breakfast Tour, Paris

On July 9, Supertramp launched an 11-date Canadian leg of the Breakfast tour, which started with a three-night stand at the Convention Centre in Winnipeg and wrapped on August 11 at the Empire Stadium in Vancouver.

During their three-night engagement at the CNE Exhibition Stadium in Toronto (7/19–21/79), Helliwell popped in to nearby Manta Sound Studios, where he played saxophone on “ Rebound,” the opening track on Rendezvous , the fourth album by French–Canadian folk-rockers CANO . He, Siebenberg, and Thomson also play on two tracks (“On the Game,” “When You Come Back to England”) on the French Polydor release The Old Pals Act by musician–composer Peter Bennett. That album features seven tracks indebted to Supertramp, including the 10-minute epic “Evermore.”

Multiple dates on their 1979 tour were taped with their Mobile 1 Remote Studio, including the Nov. 29 Pavillon show, which Supertramp deemed the best-recorded concert of the tour. Its contents comprise Paris , a 94-minute live double-album released in September 1980 on A&M.

The live version of “Dreamer” reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Supertramp went on a two-year hiatus between their 1979 tour and sessions for their next studio album, which commenced in November 1981. Meanwhile, Dougie’s younger brother Ali Thomson (b. 1959) signed to A&M as a solo artist and made the 1980/81 albums Take a Little Rhythm and Deception Is an Art . Ali’s “Take a Little Rhythm” reached No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1980.

1982: …Famous Last Words…

Hodgson’s other numbers range from the urgent, rattling opener “Crazy” to the smooth sailing “C’est le Bon,” a crisp, quiet stumalong with airy harmonies. He closes side one with “Know Who You Are,” a desolate, minor key ballad comprised of voice and picked acoustic guitar (double-tracked) with mild strings arranged by Hewson.

The unaccompanied nature of “Know Who You Are” reveals a creative gulf with Davies, who created the album’s other hit, “My Kind of Lady,” a ’50s-style piano boogie ballad in the vein of Fats Domino. Davies explores his full vocal range in the song, from his normal baritone to the high-pitched falsetto heard earlier on “Poor Boy” and “Goodbye Stranger.” Hodgson is absent from the recording and the doo-wop segments in the video, where the remaining band croon in vintage fashion behind a clean-shaven Davies. His penchant for classic R&B is further exemplified with “Put On Your Old Brown Shoes.”

Davies also composed “Bonnie,” a sequence of earnest minor-key passages that resolve with a grandiose instrumental finale in heavenly C major. The album’s last two songs, “Waiting So Long” (Davies) and “Don’t Leave Me Now” (Hodgson), recall the slow piano-buildup epics of the Quietest Moments era.

Davies intended to use a 10-minute epic, “Brother Where You Bound,” as the album’s centerpiece. This was vetoed by Hodgson, whose differences with Davies came to a head during sessions for the album, which ran through the summer of 1982. The title …Famous Last Words… is a reference to Roger’s growing desire to part ways with the band.

The title inspired the album’s cover, conceived by Doud and designer Norman Moore with photography by Tom Gibson and Jules Bates. It shows a tightrope walker balanced over endless depths, alarmed as a hand reaches out with pair of scissors, seconds away from cutting the rope. The inner-sleeve shows multiples of each member doing imitation balancing acts on neon beams. Moore’s numerous visual credits include albums by Boxer ( Absolutely ), Cafe Jacques ( Round the Back ), Sherbet ( Highway 1 ), and The Police ( Synchronicity ).

1983: Famous Last Tour, Hodgson Quits

Eight months after …Famous Last Words… hit shelves, Supertramp launched a transatlantic tour with two auxiliary players: musicians and backing vocalists Fred Mandel (keyboards, guitar) and Scott Page (saxophones, flute, guitar). Mandel was a longtime backing player of Alice Cooper with additional credits on albums by Domenic Troiano, Lisa Dal Bello , and (most recently) Queen guitarist Brian May. Page — son of jazz bandleader Bill Page — had sideman credits dating back to the 1972 UNI Records release by the Mothers of Invention spinoff Geronimo Black .

The 23-stop European leg commenced with June 1–2 shows at the Johanneshov Isstadion in Stockholm and included a four-night stand (6/29–7/2/83) at London’s Earls Court. They launched the 31-stop North American leg on August 5 at Philadelphia’s 19.4k-capacity Spectrum arena. Their date at Vancouver’s BC Place Stadium (9/3/83) featured Canadian rockers Bryan Adams and The Payola$ as opening acts.

The tour wrapped in California on September 25 at Irving Meadows. This would be Hodgson’s final show with Supertramp, who left the band to focus on family life and record independently. He’d already recorded material for his debut solo album, tentatively titled Sleeping With the Enemy .

Upon his exit from Supertramp, Hodgson recut some of the existing tracks for In the Eye of the Storm , released in September 1984 on A&M. As with the two closing numbers on Last Words , the music draws stylistic elements from the Quietest Moments era (grand, spacious, piano-driven epics). An edit of the opening number, “Had a Dream (Sleeping with the Enemy),” became an FM rock hit with a medium-rotation MTV clip.

Meanwhile, Davies expanded his unused epic from the Last Words sessions into a 16-minute opus for the next Supertramp album.

1985: Brother Where You Bound

“Still In Love” further mines the R&B territory of Davies’ Last Words numbers. It sports a boogie shuffle similar to “My Kind of Lady” and a swelling sax break reminiscent of the Stax school. “No Between” is a slow, spacious piano–vocal ballad in the classic mid-’70s Supertramp mold.

Side two is largely consumed by the titular “Brother Where You Bound” (16: 30 ), rehearsed but withheld during the Last Words sessions. During the intervening three years, it grew from an initial 10-minute piece to its final multi-movement form . It opens with 100 seconds of news soundbites and excerpts from George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four , followed by a double-tracked 3/4 piano pattern. Terse lines about impending warfare precede the full-band onslaught at 3:30. A guttural Davies warns the listener that they must flee their encroached-upon land.

After the random, free-form middle (sounds of a sparse, ravaged landscape), a syncopated, staccato guitar figure sets in motions (10:26), played by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd . Further tradeoffs ensue between glory strings, canon fire and random noise before the song-proper resumes at 13:30 for a reiteration of the warning lines “You better move, you better hide. They’re gettin’ in, they’re gettin’ inside.” The song swells to a fadeout with tight sax amid Gilmour’s wailing leads.

Dutch director Rene Daalder made a short film for “Brother Where You Bound” starring actor Chris Mulkey as the soldier of fortune who spearheads the evacuation. The plot invokes Cold War themes reminiscent of the 1984 action–drama Red Dawn , which follows a group of survivors in their flight from an advancing red menace.

The album ends on “Ever Open Door,” a slow, earnest declaration performed by Davies alone with piano, voice, and mild synth strings.

Brother Where You Bound was co-produced by Supertramp and David Kershenbaum, who worked previously with Graham Parker , the Tarney/Spencer Band , and produced multiple albums by Joe Jackson , including the 1982–84 releases Night and Day and Body and Soul . Siebenberg’s brother-in-law, guitarist Scott Gorham, plays the smoldering rhythm lines on the title track. Moore designed the cover art: a minimalist silhouette of the Darwinian ape-to-man concept.

About Supertramp

Supertramp were an English rock band formed in London in 1969. Marked by the individual songwriting of founders Roger Hodgson (vocals, keyboards, guitar) and Rick Davies (vocals, keyboards), they are distinguished for blending progressive rock and pop styles and for a sound that relied heavily on Wurlitzer electric piano. The group's line-up changed numerous times throughout their career, with Davies the only consistent member. Other longtime members included bassist Dougie Thomson, drummer Bob Siebenberg, and saxophonist John Helliwell.

The band were initially a full-fledged prog-rock group, but starting with their third album Crime of the Century (1974), they maintained a more pop-oriented sound. They reached their commercial peak with 1979's Breakfast in America , which yielded the international top 10 singles "The Logical Song", "Breakfast in America", "Goodbye Stranger" and "Take the Long Way Home". Their other top 40 hits included "Dreamer" (1974), "Give a Little Bit" (1977) and "It's Raining Again" (1982).

As of 2007, Supertramp album sales exceeded 60 million. They attained significant popularity in North America, Europe, South Africa and Australia. Their highest sales levels were in Canada, where they had two diamond-certified (ten-times platinum) albums ( Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America ). In 1983, Hodgson left the group to pursue a solo career. Davies took over as the band's sole leader until 1988, after which they disbanded and periodically reformed in various configurations.
