"Once there was a way, to get back home...."

"Take the long way home..." (my favourite song from my favourite group...)

I kinda like "Fool's overture" and "Babaji" (can you guess my fave album?)

It's only Logical what Song my favorite would have to be....

I was 9 when I bought 'Crime of the Century' -- LP!!  (Still have it--I
actually have 2 milk crates full of records and don't own a record player)

I missed the 'Famous Last Words...' concert tour by 5 minutes--I was off
timing and scorekeeping a basketball game at another high school, and my
friend, Paul, had an extra ticket, and he waited at our school until 5
minutes before the bus dropped us off after the game...

The best news is that *today* I just bought 4 tickets (for me and my 3
closest Supertramp fans) for the concert in Toronto on August 29!

And I'm pretty much happy right now!

My friend John and I often get into debates over great groups that make
great songs.  So Led Zepp put out 4 songs that I actually really like ;),
Floyd put out lots more songs that I like,(tho they made a song called
'Careful with that Axe, Eugene'), then Journey and Foreigner put out a whack
of songs that I really really liked (and Journey had some of the best album
covers)...

But for me, the best band?  Up until and including 'Brother, Where ya
Bound', Supertramp put out one song that I *didn't* like.

So I like them :)

I can't wait!

'Call the man a fool,
Stripped him of his pride.
Everyone was laughing
Up until the day he died...'

(there you go, ROSCO :) )

OMGoodnesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Started off with 'School'...

Ended off (in the encore) with 'Crime of the Century'....

Rick Davies played 'Downstream' with just him and a piano for the entire song...

7 member band right now, including Siebenburg's son (I think i spelled that
right, and I got the relationship right...)

And Honeywell (again, hope the spellings right) played every type of brass
instrument in the world!!

It was awesome!  It was a great show with little flash to take away from the
fantastic music!

No Fools Overture or Hide in Your Shell--ahh, what'reya gonna do?

Lets see, they played 5 songs from COTC
1 from C?WC?
2 from EITQM
1 (at least) from BIA
I don't think they played any from FLW...
1 from BWYB? (Cannonball--and it was awesome!)
1 from FAAB (free as a bird, as it turns out... :) )
and a bunch from their latest album (which sounded pretty good in concert,
so it's time for me to get the CD)

I think there was 15-18 songs all together--I didn't count 'cause I was too
busy enjoying the 'Supertrampy' atmosphere.

It was the best concert I have ever been to.

The only downside was security impounded my digital camera so I couldn't
take pics :(

Well, that's all from this neck of the woods--I'll just happily wear my new
Supertramp shirt all week now ;)
