Vienna Nachberitch Review
«Supertramp»-Chief Hodgson with terrific Vienna-concert
World hits in campfire-sound
Hodgson in Vienna: The Supertramp-Saga as an impressive unplugged-show
Unplugged. Seven ornamental-plants, two guitars, keyboard, piano and one single co-musician – Roger Hodgson didn’t need more yesterday evening at the concert house to warm frequently standing ovations out of 1,800 visitors.
With fragile almost-unplugged-versions of 21 music-classics – the ultimate Supertramp-best-of from «Logical Song» to «Dreamer» – the 59 year old delivered a most welcome antidote to current «Live-ornate-delusion» from Madonna & Co.
Even Mini-Operas like «A Soapbox Opera» or «Fools Overture», «overproduced» once at a studio, sounded great with that campfire-sound.
The Viennese thanked him with frenetic applause. Hodgson visibly touched: «Maybe I should take you with me on tour!»
