Bear With Me


Sorry the posts are coming a little slow this month but Rosebud & I are in the process of moving. After 20 long years in a townhouse in the city, we are moving to a house in the country, on a lake. The move is going really well and is almost over, but is taking a large chunk of our free time. In a short time everything should settle down and we will be able to dedicate more time to The New JDP. So check back. The posts will still be coming, just a little slower for a short while longer. Thank you every one for your patience...

Supertramp's Progressive Rock was always tempered with a Pop Music sensibility making them a little more accessible to the masses. It was the more commercial material of Breakfast In America that delivered the bands biggest selling album. The album spawned 4 hit singles "The Logical Song", "Goodbye Stranger", "Take the Long Way Home", and "Breakfast in America". The band embarked on a very successful world tour which was captured on the live Paris album. While recording the follow up album ..Famous Last Words Rick Davis and Roger Hodgson's personality conflicts grew. Roger decided to leave the band during the tour. This is the final gig Roger Hodgson played with Supertramp, he even says this to the fans while dedicating "Give A Little Bit" to them. The sound of this show is great and the performances are so good you wouldn't know a key member was leaving if he hadn't told you.
