Roger Hodgson On Yes, Ringo And Supertramp: ‘The Time For A Reunion Has Passed’
Radio.com, Brian Ives Oct 23, 2013
"We thought it was about time we asked him about a few other issues: namely, will Supertramp ever ride again, did Yes really ask him to join and what’s it like playing in Ringo Starr‘s band."

Review: Hodgson shows depth beyond Supertramp hits at Egg show
The Daily Gazette, Brian McElhiney Oct 22, 2013
"His boyish tenor can still strafe the stratosphere, and his playing on keyboard, piano and guitar was all-superb but it was the stuff in between that was the revelation, including tracks from his three underappreciated solo albums and deep cuts from the Supertramp back catalog, all of which made the case for Hodgson’s consistency over the years."

Echo Vedettes, Jean-Francois Brassard

Supertramp’s Roger Hodgson On How The Beatles Inspired “Give A Little Bit”
KEarth101, August 7, 2013, Britt Bickel
"Part of the reason Supertramp’s hits have become such perennial favorites is because of the personal nature of the lyrics Roger wrote. He tells us about the inspiration about some of those classic songs including “Give A Little Bit."

"One of the
things that amazed
me most was
Hodgson’s command of
the stage and
theatre. He could
stand there alone
with his 12 string
acoustic guitar and
fill the entire
venue with a large,
full complete sound,
which a band usually
puts out, by
himself. The man is
personable, shows
his vulnerable side,
yet at the flip of a
coin, he is joking
and pulling pranks
off on the band. He
told stories about
his songs then
played those classic
monster songs that
are still lasting
the test of time."

"Tonight’s
show reinforces the
sheer volume of
Roger’s back
catalogue, as he
performs a large
number of his
Supertramp
contributions plus a
sprinkling of his
later solo works,
and the most telling
fact here is that,
even though it is
only his half of the
Supertramp catalogue
that he performs,
there are very, very
few songs which are
missed. If this were
a Supertramp show,
the setlist would
feel satisfactorily
complete, which is
amazing testimony to
the strength of his
input.
Truly, if you come
to one of these
shows, you are
seeing the Best Of
Supertramp,
delivered by the
Voice Of Supertramp."

"The intimate nature is carried through the encores, with both Give a Little Bit and the buoyant It's Raining Again providing the chance for audience clap-alongs, closing the night with the personal touch only an artist as natural and honest as Hodgson can bring to such an auditorium. It was a fitting end to an often touching performance."
