OFFICIAL Recordings

You started laughing
Despite you can listen a live version of this song in the "Paris" album (1980) this song was released as a single in 1975, just the B-side of the song "Lady" (Crisis ? What crisis? album ), but not included in the album due to no room enough in the vinyl. (in order to do not decrease the sound quality of the album, just a technical problem).
This studio version is a very interesting listening.

Land Ho
Despite you can listen a new version in the "Hai Hai" album (1987) of Roger Hodgson, this song was released as a single together with the song "Summer Romance", in 1974, when Roger was in Supertramp.
Both original songs were included for the first time in CD in the "Retrospectacle" album year 2005 (Supertramp compilation)
The versions of "Land Ho" and "Summer Romance" on Retrospectacle are the 1975 re-mixes which the band intended to use on Crisis? What Crisis? but left off at the last minute.

Aunque Roger grabó una versión en 1987 para su disco "Hai Hai", en realidad ya la había grabado con Supertramp años antes en 1974, en un single junto con el tema "Summer Romance".
Ambas canciones del single se incluyeron en el recopilatorio "Retrospectacle" por primera vez en CD en 2005.
Estas versiones de "Land Ho" y "Summer Romance" del Retrospectacle son las re-mezclas de 1975 que la banda pretendía usar en el album Crisis? What Crisis? pero que fueron descartadas en última instancia.

Summer Romance
Released as a single by Supertramp in February 1974 together with "Land Ho" and included in the "Retrospectacle" album for the first time in CD in year 2005.

Publicada en single por Supertramp en Febrero 1974 junto con "Land Ho" e incluida en el album "Retrospectacle" por primera vez en formato CD en 2005.

Gold Rush
This song was the "opening song" in the Supertramp shows during the early years.
Lyrics by R. Palmer and music by Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, was included finally in the "Slow Motion" album year 2002.

Con esta canción abría Supertramp sus conciertos en los primeros años, cuando aún no eran conocidos.
Finalmente la han grabado e incluido en el album "Slow Motion"de 2002.

Fegefeuer/Purgatory
This is a soundtrack Supertramp recorded in Germany in 1970 for a 20 minutes film. Just 8 tracks, instrumental. (no vocals)
The dramatic start is very very similar to "School" song (harmonica), but also a percussion slow rythm like Pink Floyd style imitating the sound of the heart.
Recently was released as a Limited edition in DVD (Supertramp do not appears in the movie) You can order it This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

 BOOTLEGS. UNOFFICIAL recordings

During the 70's and 80's it was easy to find some unofficial recordings in the music shops (first in vinyl and later in CD) from the 1975-1976 tours.
The name of the albums: Dreamer, Dreamers, Lady tour, Easy guitar, etc, ...
It's not too clear the exact source of these recordings, there are songs from different shows, and even some songs are from the "Paris" album (believe it......)
But one thing is sure: Dreamers album was recorded in Hammersmith (London) in 1975, due to some "clues" you can find just listening the John's speeches.

In 2001 other unofficial CD was released called "Is everybody listening", but this recording is nothing but the old "Dreamers" album.
You can read "Recorded live in Cleveland, Ohio, 1976", but that's not true, as I explained before.

In December 2014, this concert is included in the "Crime of the Century DELUXE EDITION".

Unfortunatelly there are not too good unoffical recordings from the next tours, cause most are audience recordings.
But the recordings of Munich, Milwaukee and Dallas are pretty good.
Below, the summarize of the best.

En los 70 y 80 no era difícil encontrar en las tiendas una serie de grabaciones piratas (primero en vinilo y luego en CD) de las giras 75 - 76. Los discos se llamaban: Dreamer, Dreamers, Lady tour, Easy guitar, etc, ...
Es difícil saber el contenido exacto de dichas grabaciones, pues se mezclaban conciertos diferentes e incluso se incluyen grabaciones del Paris, aunque no os lo creáis ....
Lo que si es seguro es que el disco Dreamers contiene la grabación del concierto en Hammersmith (Londres) de 1975, por las pistas que se pueden obtener de las presentaciones de John durante el concierto.
En 2001 salió al mercado un disco pirata llamado "Is everybody listening" que no es más que el album Dreamers reeditado, a pesar de que en la portada podais leer que se trata de un concierto grabado en Cleveland, Ohio en 1976, lo cual no es cierto.

En Diciembre de 2014 dicho concierto es incluido en la edición "Crime of the Century DELUXE EDITION".

Desafortunadamente no existen muy buenas grabaciones piratas de las giras siguientes, pues la mayoría son grabaciones caseras, aunque las grabaciones de los conciertos de Munich, Milwaukee y Dallas que circulan por ahí son más que aceptables.
Aqui teneis un resúmen de lo más destacado:

Concerts:

Supertramp live 1977 Seattle
Supertramp live 1979 (double) Milwaukee
Supertramp live 1983 (double) Munich

BBC sessions

Around 1972 - 1974 Supertramp performed some numbers live for the BBC. This versions are a bit different from the final ones (studio version), mainly the song Dreamer, but the copies I've found are in not good quality sound:

- Dreamer
- Rudy
- Summer romance
- Ponny express
- School
- And other songs.
