- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2015
- Roger Hodgson, co-founder of Supertramp, is the singer/songwriter of this most beautiful treasure, A Soapbox Opera, which is from the album, Crisis? What Crisis? Seeing Roger perform with an orchestra is mesmerizing. This performance is from a July 2013 concert in Germany with the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra at Jazzopen Schlossplatz. Roger also gave us the eternal classics such as Dreamer, Give a Little Bit, Take the Long Way Home, The Logical Song, Fool's Overture, Hide in Your Shell, It's Raining Again and many more.
Although Roger and Supertramp's other co-founder shared writing credit, they actually wrote and composed separately with each singing their own songs. Roger is the Voice you have been listening to on almost all the classic hit songs that were recorded by Supertramp - the Voice people all over the world love.
Roger is touring worldwide and audiences are once again experiencing the magic and spirit that Roger Hodgson created with Supertramp. In addition to performing the classics listed above plus many others, he also performs magnificent material from his solo albums. Seeing Roger live in concert is an experience that will stay with you a lifetime. www.RogerHodgson.com / rogerhodgson .

What has born good (Supertamp), can only improve with age. And when it comes to music, some become immortal. Thath`s what Supertramp and Roger became.
Young people today DO NOT know what music is! This is simply FANTASTICO!
Do not say it so. Every time has itˋs music
I'm 13 and this is my favorite song 💀💀
@@ProGamer-gq1ox Good for you! You know what I'm talking about! This song (and all the songs from Supertramp) travel through generations and does not get old!
@@matthiasrohn8640 no man! Sorry! There's no Music nowadays! Today you can find cell phone ringtones. 🤣
But no "Music" like this!
Roger Hodgson: semplicemente STELLARE!!!
Qu y a t il de plus beau ?????? C est une merveille d orchestration mais quel régal ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When I discovered Supertramp in my adolescence all my schemes changed, my musical tastes, my character, my personality... Thank you Mr. Hodgson.
I feel the same. Thanks.
@@railbart Yesss, for me ,they learn me how to live....
Anch io, è pazzesco!
Listen to Roger Hodgson, I just realized to be a human, having a Heart ❤️ When I stop this song, the dog is barking.
All things bright and beautiful ,wars galore is how it's turned out . Keep spreading the good words everyone
Must be such a memorable experience for both those on stage and in the audience... Heard this as a kid and played it late at night in my bed through cranked up headphones, in the dark.... no words...
Ich habe Supertramp 2 x live gesehen und beide male war es fantastisch. Best Band ever
Written 45 years ago yet still tugs at my heart strings, probably now more than ever. Sublime.
I feel the same way. It tugs at my heart strings more than ever, just like you said.
Every time i listen to It, i get nostálgic, a masterpiece
@@voysuelto ñ£
Beautiful , so atmospheric , I forgotten how good supertramp were.
Я не делал перевод, но мне тоже в самое сердце проникает эта песня...
Roger has been one of my favourite musicians for years. - Simply marvellous.
Tengo 60 a mis 15 un amor dj (beso al cielo), me regaló esta canción. Me llevo a su casa y dijo: escucha esto. Como se llama pregunté (yo estudiaba musica), se llama Melodrama me dijo.
Luego de tantos años...porq está canción siguió resonando en mi y no podia encontrarla con ese nombre, alguien a quien se la envíe entonando por audio a España, me dio el nombre y me explicó q en esas épocas aquí en Argentina, llegaban con otro título.
Gracias que luego de 40 años q sólo resuena en mi cabeza...alguien la supo.
Ahora entiendo porque me dijo...escucha esto. Arte.
I'm a metal head, I love Supertramp and this is a piece of art.
Lindo demais! Amo Supertramp! ❤
Thank you for sharing this treasure piece of music. Simply the best.
A genre of music that was only practiced for a few years, but is immortal in its glory.
'Crime of the Century' is fabulous album, but 'Crisis, What Crisis' is the pinnacle of Supertramp's creative, recording and performing genius. Every single track on it is a gem!!
Perso :crisis what crisis, est l'album que je préfère et de loin !!!!!!!!!!! Mais chacun a ses goûts, bien sûr !!!!!!!!
The best
Meh
So true.
It is very interesting to hear that. I enjoy CWC very much myself, but I read somewhere online that the band considered it to be a "throwaway" album.
C'est la chanson de ma jeunesse. Je l'ai écoutée, écoutée et réécoutée. J'ai essayé de la traduire (avant l'ère d'Internet) et aujourd'hui je la joue (mal) à la guitare. Elle fait partie du Top 5 de ma vie. J'habite un petite ville de Normandie en France et Supertramp a été un groupe très important pour moi. J'adore.
Wenn Mann fragen darf aus welchem Dorf von der nordemadie
J’imagine , à quel point vous avez été envoûtée par ce titre . C’est beau et mélodiquement touchant .
Moi aussi il est pour moi 😢un moment de mon adolescence inoubliable
Rodger Hodgson - all your songs are really fantastic!
Todas sus temas son de lo mejor los escucho ahora tengo 63. Años. Y a mis hijos les gusta también hay uno que toca el piano. Nadie lo Iguala a supertramp
Lo mejor de lo mejor de supertramp
MORE than that. I adore him
Roger Hodgson is one of the finest songwriters to ever grace this planet! Brilliant! Plus that unmistakable phenomenal unique voice! Fantastic! Canada loves him!🇨🇦🇨🇦🎼🎵🎶
Dale M as does Australia
You are so right, this song has always been one of my favourites, remember hearing it 45 years ago 🙄when I bought the album still love it!
Wow so great 👍 yesterday and today 😁
Super
His music is timeless, his voice hasn't changed. A master.!
How I would like my loved ones to put this song on at my funeral...
O rastro de talento e cultura musical de Roger Rodgson. Cadê os brasileiros que curtem? Porrada de likes aqui!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😃🤗
Ola...Suecia...Viva Brazil ❤Beijinhos
Amo Supertramp.......
God bless music in the 70ies....music of my wonderful youth and certainly accompaining me til my finale tune
Fantastic orchestra you played along with
This song is so powerful between the lines. It messes with me so strongly. One of the most underrated of Supertramp.
Simply wonderful.
Jojo The Man
The album itslef is really underrated
Simplesmente sublime!!A voz e o talento de Roger hodginson quase eternos, atrelados a uma poderosa e fascinante orquestra... após 40 anos!!Meus Deus,tempos com músicas,bandas e cantores memoráveis, absolutamente extraordinários!!!
Disse tudo e muito mais 😍😍😍
Yes, only a few and far these days. Aren't we so lucky that we grew up with timless music.😊🖤
ESTRELAS DE MUSICALIDADE UNIVERSAL. NÃO CONSIGO ENCONTRAR ADJETIVOS
Conheci em 1977...amo até hj..de arrepiar..faz bem a alma❤
A message for future generations: Don't let this song die ❤
As a 17 year old I heavily agree.
I feel like Supertramp is the only band that has this level of emotion inside of it. The singing, the tones, the story. Its unfortunate that they’ve deformed in the 80s.
By far the best band I have ever listened to❤
At age 11 my older brother took me to my first concert: to see what would become my favorite band of all time.🤩 I could play every single Supertramp song by age 13... every part, and knew every word. I somehow thought one day I would be part of the band. Sigh. A girl could dream.
So you are a Dreamer.
Same same was I with 11. - Not every song, but every tone! 🥰
@@rainerpaul8102 yes indeed... to this day!
I've been hearing this tune for the past 33 years. And I'm still hearing it. The best piece written.
Lyrics:
I hear, only what I want to hear,
But, I have to believe in something,
Have to believe in just one thing.
I said father Washington, you're all mixed up,
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup.
Well, spare a listen for a restless fool,
There's something missing when I need your rule.
Well, hey there;
You tell me you're a holy man, but, although I am just a beginner,
I don't see you as a winner.
I said, sister Washington, you're all washed up,
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup;
If I could tell you what you need to know;
If I could tell you to get on with the show.
I'd rather never leave her,
There's a storm in my head,
Makes me hear what you say;
Just was it true?
So, what have I to do?
Well, what has he to do?-
Ooh, what is there to-oo do+
What oh-oh-ohoh
"All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful, the lord god made them all"
Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for,
Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river,
Oh' have you a son to deliver.
I said, father Washington, you're all mixed up,
Collecting sinners in an old tin cup,
You tell the children what you need to know,
But, will they listen when it's time to go.
Oh, sister Robinson, you're all washed up,
Collecting teardrops in a paper cup,
Can someone tell me what I need to know,
Can someone help me to get on with the show
Thanks, chica boogie, very kind!
I just read the book your band gives the name,45years after loving your music together getting older but still loving good music and literature
I was already fascinated by this piece when I was 12-13 years old.
And it continues to astonish me, like everything Master Roger Hodgson has done.
It is simply brilliant, and of a complexity that seems to be from another planet. The fruit of a privileged mind
Unbelievable
You have a mind my friend. Stay fascinated.
40 years later this song still sounds just as good as when this highly underrated album was released back in 1975.
Bob Scott и
What is good it's good for ever, even if people change.
FooBar Maximus can’t believe I’ve only just got a face to roger he’s been in my head for over 40 years I love him he is so great helped me through some tough times
I love this album also, since it was released....great piece of progressive Music
Yep, 'Crisis?' And 'Crime Of The Century' are both underrated masterpieces.
La meilleure chanson de Roger qui nous a donné du bonheur et qui continue à nous réjouir chaque fois que nous l'écoutons, chapeau Roger
pour ce cadeau inoubliable.
One of my fav songs period. Always loved this song.
Tårar rinner...Jag hittar en kopp..där faller dom..precis som Roger sjunger denna vackra och sorgsna låt..Inget har förändrats under mina 50 -År..Roger är ett Hjärta av Guld och bevisar oss verkligheten. Så förtröstansfull är hans texter och hans vackra Röst....intuition och Emotion ❤❤❤❤❤ Tack Fina Roger ❤Marie 🥰❤🙋♀️
Assisto, volto, assisto de novo, compartilho de novo! Todos têm o direito e o dever essa obra prima!
Não dá pra ouvir uma só vez.
Rober es un superdotado en la música, tanto organista cómo letrista y vocalista,hay muy pocos genios con tanto en sus manos y en su cabeza.Es un maestro total y además las presentaciones son de un gusto especial,.
Roger Hodgson, compositeur et musicien hors catégorie, l’âme de supertramp, on ne peut que s’incliner devant un tel talent....
🇲🇫 j'adore 🥰 toute ma jeunesse ❤️
Wow. Sounds same as he did in his original recordings from 40 years ago. Amazing composer, singer, band.
This song is so perfect with the orchestra so beautiful ! 👌.

Bastan esta canción y Fool's overture para convertir a esta banda en una de las más grandes del pasado siglo. Me siguen emocionando como hace 40 años. Supertramp forever!
Mr. Roger Hogdson, you are just marvellous after 40 I do have the same feeling listening to you, either tears or chills. How possible unless you are a humble, sensible, giving artist. Thank you so much
Une sublime chanson que j’écoute encore avec beaucoup de bonheur et d’émotions 🥰🥰
Moi aussi
moi aussi je l'ecoute et reecoute
First time I've heard this song.A work of a genius.
Congratulations, you have discovered MUSIC with capital letters. I'm 64 years old and I've been listening to Supertramp since I was 18.
Better late than never, plenty more great songs to discover from this great band!

L’une des plus belles chansons de son répertoire qui m’accompagne depuis plus de 40 ans ! Rythmique, harmonies, mélodie, émotions ...tout y est ! Avec en plus l’humilité d’un très grand artiste. Un formidable merci pour ces moments de bonheur.
For me, this is perfection combined with heart and soul. Something very rare in music. I love it! Eargasm anybody? Roger Hodgson is music!❤️
Eargasm…I LOVE that!❤️🎶🎶🎶❤️
Wonderful, mesmerizing! I Love your voice Roger. This is MUSIC.
Fantastic!
QUE DOMINIO QUE ARMONIA Y SU VOZ IGUAL QUE HACE 45 AÑOS INCREIBLE GRACIAS AMIGO POR TU MUSICA INMORTAL GRANDE ROGER¡
Love them one of the best singers I know been to see them a few times in my day
exactly how does anyone not appreciate this song? beautiful amazing😆
William Nyhan there are a holes out there in case you didn’t know
William Nyhan l listen to this every morning
Swedish American tbh many religious people don’t believe in church, the song is not shitting on religions themselves
How? Okay, let me try. I can remember originally why it was that I liked this song. With Supertramp, Roger had a hard edge to his songs. After leaving the group, he has become a too sweet over the top bag of processed sugar.
@@WilliamJones-sf5pt Lol. I have to agree with you re: Roger post-Tramp. But the song itself, and specifically this orchestral arrangement, is fricking excellent.
Não existe mais bandas como esta. Supertramp is the best!
Just a bit behind Kate Bush
Concordo plenamente nunca mais nessa terra sensacional
Quelle mélodie, quelle voix, quelle talent!,,,
This soap box opera is my best and School ❤❤Thankyou Roger follow you since 1970-talet Lovely you emotion man saw you in Stockholm Sweden. Hugs Marie🥰🙋♀️
Whilst we are all older now, you cannot forget the brilliance personified in this great song. What an absolute privilege to have heard this song live so many times. I will cherish those memories forever. Thank you Roger
Magnifique ❤
Groupe éternel pour moi
Je ne m’en lasse pas
Grande immenso ineguagliabile Roger,uno dei più grandi del vecchio stampo,mitico.
The Best..Som jag alltid bär med mig ❤❤ Thankyou Roger❤ Marie 🥰🙋♀️
Wonderful!! He is an angel of beauty and love on earth❤
This is one of the greatest masterpieces ever!!!!!!!!!!!
I am from Stuttgart but sadly missed this concert! Was probably already living in Berlin! Thanks for posting!!!!
This is truly one of the greatest pieces of music ever penned. Oustanding stuff.
The solo of violins is simply amazing! Almost crying...BRAVO! BRAVO!
Hugs from Brasil.
Rare example of the live version being better than the studio recording.
Simply superb!
Soviele Jahre begleitet mich in meinem Leben Supertramp durch Höhen und Tiefen. Danke Roger 😊❤🎉
Bei mir das selbe!
Que bella canción... Cómo me recuerda mi juventud y las veces que teníamos que ahorrar entre todos los hermanos para compra la cinta con el álbum... Bendito Roger y Supertramp.
Me too. Jajajaja nos pasaba lo mismo.
One of their finest pieces - Roger has that unique voice that simply says "supertramp" as soon as you hear him sing. Love this piece
A Soap Box Opera is up there with their very best songs.
REALMENTE FANTASTICO! ROGER HUDSON UN GENIO! ESTUPENDA E INCONFUNDIBLE VOZ! TENGO TODOS SUS DISCOS! CON SUPERTRAMP Y EN SOLITARIO! DESDE URUGUAY...UN SALUD A TODOS LOS FANS..DE ROGER!!!
When Rodger Hodgson was born a star ⭐️ was lit in heaven, and it’s still burning bright .
Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for,
Cause I feel like I'm tossed in the river,
Oh' have you a son to deliver.
baravo bravo bravo Roger Hodgson
Soooo beautiful song! And I had the chance to go to see Roger : he sang this song on stage and it was incredible! Don't miss his concerts!
1000% agree Magic with words. R.R
It was my dear departed brother who introduced me to Supertramp's music, all those years ago. This song makes me cry.
Love this song Supertramp was/is a very under rated crew. Absolutely loved Paris.
Magnífica espectacular grande Roger hodgson obra maestra, se ve la alegría de todos los músicos grandes todos!!
Magica SUPER......TRAMP.....Beijinhos Marie a Suecia.
Siiiiiii!!! Sonríen!!!! Están felices!!! Igual que yo!!!!
Fer gu

Opino lo mismo ya no volveran
I am 67 and i didn't know this amazing song !!! I'm glad to discover it . I hope to discover such another jewel.
Pra mim foi ..amor a primeira vista. Roger é simplesmente fantástico. Um grandioso talento artístico. Essa apresentação acústica me surpreendeu grandemente.
Hay cosas que me llevan más allá de este plano terrenal ,una de esas es la música y en especial bellos temas como este...
I think I need to go to rehab because I am addicted to his songs, really, everyday!!! Starting time is at 8 o'clock.
Seen Roger 5 Xs the funnest time was Vegas Solotramp with his son I believe on drums then he asked if anyone could play drums & let a guy come up from audience & killed it! Was beautiful!
Now in 2024, I'm finally learning Roger's tunes on Guitar and keyboard. They're FUN to Play! 🎶
Grande concerto esta noite em Leiria!!Obrigada Sr. Roger Hodgson e aos músicos soberbos. Músicas e letras muito especiais. Intemporais e Originais. No que é bom e genuíno, escrito e composto com o coração, não se mexe! Isto sim, é música!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎶🎸
Esta la misma cosa para me (j'espère ne pas avoir fait de faute)
Masterpiece. So light. So touching. So melodic. So danceable, that one almost goes airborne.
My dad introduced me to supertramp in 2004 in 9th grade for me and I fell in 😘 ve. I'm 34 now and adore this young so much. My dad died in 2017 and this song makes me think of my dad he loved nothing more than father Washington by supertramp and echoes part 1 Pink Floyd!
Still going strong in my mind.Soap box opera......and everthing that SUPERTRAMP have been Done. ❤❤❤❤❤Marie Beijinhos From Sweden.
This really is an overlooked gem. Love this!
MUSIC HEAVILY LOADED with emotion. THRILLS !
Esperando al dia 17 de agosto para poder estar en Úbeda (Jaén, España) viendo y oyendo las canciones que nos hicieron crecer y soñar.
Anoche fue el gran día de ver a Roger Hodgson y su banda en persona, en un marco incomparable, la plaza de toros de Úbeda, Jaén, España. Le vitoreamos, cuando acabaron les hicimos volver al escenario, y nos regalaron varias canciones más. Él nos hacía cantar a todos, y coreamos sus canciones. Todo un caballero. Felicidad de verle en persona. Emocionado. Gracias.
Ah, el telonero: un violinista con violín electrónico, todo un acierto, excepcional.
Cette chanson est juste......... Merveilleuse...... Je l'adore depuis ma "tendre" jeunesse..... C'est pas peu dire !!!!!!!
C'est franchement une de mes chansons favorites, depuis la fin des années 70, c'est dire !!!!!!!!!!!! (merci Djamy). Bref............. '
O Brasil admira demais a Roger Hodgson.
Das könnte ich mir ewig ansehen und anhören
Grazie infinite per le emozioni che dai. Grazie di esistere Roger 😘
Però la versione live in Paris,è quella che mi ha emozionato di più....
Paris 79 è stato un evento davvero unico, secondo me. Bellissimo DVD. Hide in your shell versione Paris è di un'emozione particolare....
