Fool's Overture - Roger Hodgson (writer and composer) with Orchestra
Музыка
Roger Hodgson, co-founder of Supertramp, is the singer/songwriter of this exquisite opus, Fool's Overture. Roger, one of the greatest writers and composers of our time, originally had three separate pieces of music that one day magically came together and became this treasure. GREAT NEWS! Roger is on Tour, selling out shows all over the globe - visit www.RogerHodgson.com / rogerhodgson
"Fool's Overture is one of my favorite pieces that I've ever written. It was very magical the way it came together. It was actually three separate pieces of music that I had for a few years and then, one day, they kind of all slotted together in what I think is a magnificent, kind of epic piece of music. I always imagined performing it with an orchestra, so when I did start playing with orchestras back in the '90s, it was such a thrill to play this song. I still get goosebumps to this day every time I play it with an orchestra." ~ Roger Hodgson
Roger gave us the great majority of Supertramp's hits to include Dreamer, The Logical Song, Give a Little Bit, Breakfast in America, School, Hide in Your Shell, It's Raining Again, Take the Long Way Home, and many more. Although Roger & Supertramp's other co-founder shared writing credit, they actually wrote & composed separately with each singing their own songs. bit.ly/1Kfgu0W

Share your experience of Roger's shows or what his songs mean to you.
"It may have been the BEST concert I have ever seen. Roger's voice is even better than it was when he was with Supertramp. My friends and I were blown away by your sheer talent. I would highly recommend anyone to go see Roger live if they can."
"Your music and more importantly, your enthusiasm for expressing your music to the audience is inspiring ! I felt that you sang each and every song with a passion.. not just a empty or bland repetition of sameness ! Thank for a wonderful evening !"
"You are not only an accomplished, professional gifted musical genius, but a truly heart-warming and graceful person (and comical too because you had the audience laughing both nights). You really do have an amazing connection with the audience, and as a performer you raise the bar higher that only a handful can come close to reaching..."

This is from an era when music was produced by real musicians. I discovered Supertramp in my late teens but this still has the ability to move me 40 years later. Sheer genius!

Very well put!
I remember going from my hometown, CHICAGO to Alpine Valley concert hall to see Supertramp. We couldn't get any seats so we were up on the grass and it had rained and we all had soaked feet and wet asses but we didn't care 1bit cuz we were so mesmerized by the music. It was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. It was 8/82. I framed most of my concert tickets and found great wall art in them and I went to ALOT OF CONCERTS. Life was fun and good and much simpler than life is now that I m 62 and just survived breast cancer surgery on top of having MS. I'm glad I did all that crazy shit when I was younger. Best Era to live in ever.
This man is a musical genius and the only reason that I started playing the piano at the age of 12. After listening to Crime of the Century album for the hundredth time, I went to the piano and without even knowing what note I was playing, figured out all of the songs. 38 years later, after a long career as a musician, I still know them.

All of US who grew up in the 70s remember these tunes and the Sunday trips out in the car that accompanied them..
At 56 it just brought back memories of my youth when I played it non-stop. It's a masterpiece.
I discovered Supertramp when I was 20. It didn't take long before they became my favorite group and music to listen to. Fools Overture still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it at the age of 66. I'm so glad I took my son and daughter to their concerts.
I came here to listen what it started like and I stayed for the whole thing. Stunning stuff.
Absolutely obsessed and in love with Supertramp. Badass musicians and believers for sure❤🙏🙌

Genial!
1st time I heard this in years! I loved Supertramp when I was a teenager/young man. Made me cry!

Grande pezzo scritto da Roger Hodgson che eseguir con l’ausilio dell’ orchestra assume più maestosità e bellezza. Roger è visibilmente emozionato qui
P-E-R-F-E-C-T!!!!!
Just... PERFECT.
A classical masterpiece
I was at this concert in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 2004. It was amazing! The performance took place as part of the Night of the Proms Tour. The Night of the Proms is a spectacular celebration of classical music and pop that takes place every year. In 2004 in Germany Roger Hodgson and pop artists Joe Cocker, Shaggy, and DJ Bobo performed their greatest hits with the accompaniment of a 70-piece symphonic orchestra, 50-person choir, and the John Miles Electric Band. I've been going to the NOTP for 21 years and I'm always amazed by the artists.
One of the best group ever and the song is masterpiece
What an exceptional treat this must have been LIVE for the audience... Amazing!
Ahhhh, to have discovered Supertramp whilst in Paris, the mid-seventies, with my entire life in front of me, twenty three years of age! To this day, forty three years passing, their music speaks to my soul. Sheer perfection!!

Hi from New Zealand. I am originally from the Wirral and studied my engineering degree at the Poly on Byrom Street from 1974 - 1979. I was fortunate to see Supertramp midweek at the Empire in 1976. Then the BBC did a "Sight and Sound" broadcast on the following Saturday night from another venue. Fantastic experiences. We had the old sterio system set up either side of thev tv (maybe black and white then :-) ). Happy memories.

BRILLIANT SIR ROGER....🙏😇👑💖🏰
This is soooooo good, emotional
This should have been part of the score for the movie Dunkirk. Elsewhere on KZread Roger recounts the story of how this composition was born of three distinct musical pieces melded into one. Stunning.
This is actually the best sounding song I've ever heard.
FANTASTIC AND FABULOUS GRAND MUSICAL SHOW
An eternal classical masterpiece from way back when music was honoured as as it should.
Incredible, an opera
Just stumbled onto this. One of the best live versions I've heard out there... Reminds me of the first time I've heard it as a 14 yr old.
Roger IS the voice of Supertramp.. Saw him last month in the Midwest in the USA a few times. He plays ALL the hits and sings just as a great as he did in the 70's. He tours with a GREAT band if he does a show anywhere near you, you must go see him for a wonderful, beautiful and spiritual evening..

To my opinion on a good day his vocals are now better than when he was young. And the slight lowering of his voice did well for him. Fools Overture was well played by the band Supertramp, too. I'd say as good as a band could possibly play live. It was a bit different, but I did not miss the orchestra. This version certainly is grandiose.
Hauntingly beautiful.
A Masterpiece! No doubt about it. Thank you, Roger!
