Desde que le vi por última vez he podido comprobar que su voz está como nunca y que las canciones ahora suenan mejor en directo gracias sobre todo a la aportación de Aaron. Se ha convertido en un multiinstrumentista como el propio Roger, y además de los instrumentos de viento, ahora toca teclados, percusión y hace coros. Ahora ya pueden tocar canciones complicadas como Fool's Overture o Soapbox Opera.
Esa noche ocurrió una anécdota muy divertida, cuando Roger estaba tocando Lovers in the Wind, se levantó un repentino viento que casi desbarata el escenario. Roger dio buenas muestras del humor inglés en sus comentarios sobre el viento, aunque a los roadies les trajo de cabeza.
El repertorio fue el que suele tocar habitualmente, pero a Roger siempre le gusta incluir alguna sorpresa. Esta vez tocó Know Who You Are, que dedicó especialmente al público de Madrid, y Say Goodbye, una ...

Although
it is rather late, I would like to share the review I wrote about the
performance Roger Hodgson gave in Buenos Aires last May, with the forum.
I am sure that many of those who attended the concert in Madrid felt as
moved as we felt in Buenos Aires. I published this text in my blog, a few
weeks after the performance.
Fifteen months after his first presentation in Corrientes Street, Roger
Hodgson returned to the Gran Rex and offered us what can undoubtedly be
considered to be his best concert in Argentina.

Roger was the main act
of the opening night for the first ever Schaffhausen festival. This small
town in Switzerland has set up a wonderful event. Everyone felt
welcomed and comfortable. The venue, a square in the town-centre was full
- 3.600 people but it just felt like celebrating the music with some friends.
There were two acts on
before Roger and they were really great ...

ROGER IN SPAIN
"Lovers
in the wind and it’s raining again in the eye of the storm”
These last
days have been full of emotions. Days of reunion
with friends and the opportunity to personally meet other friends at last!,
face to face. But above all, have been days to share with Roger and
his team, to make us feel that we are part of
that team, we felt like one else. THANKS from the bottom of our hearts.
The concert in
Madrid, began for Vidal and me, the day before, with a warm meeting with Linda Tyler and Linda Gianotti in their hotel, where we gave
them a big basket of fresh fruit, on behalf of our Spanish Fan Club.
And came the
big day. And of course it was a great day!!! We
had the privilege to enjoy everything: before,
during and after the ...

Oh,
what a venue. Set between a centuries
old monastery on one side of the stage and the beautiful waters off the coast of
Spain on the other, I was eagerly awaiting Roger’s concert that was to come
tonight. However, Mother Nature had
other plans. Earlier in the day there
had been a brief shower but the skies quickly cleared. Weather at sound check was fine and then
shortly before show time, the clouds started getting darker. There was not a drop of rain falling so I
was wishfully thinking that all would be fine.
Literally ten minutes before show time, the clouds opened. It wasn’t just a downpour; lightening was
all around too.
But people did not leave. Everyone took cover but a little downpour and
lightening were not going to keep people from seeing Roger. Rain ponchos were distributed and we were
all hoping for the ...
