Welcome to my 2018 World Tour!
Well, we’ve started the 2018 tour and it’s going really great.
It’s been wonderful seeing so many of you at the shows and I am looking forward to seeing a lot more of you at the shows this year.
This is our first day off after 4 shows in a row. Next we travel to Norway, for an orchestra show at the OverOslo Festival. We started the tour very focused putting in long hours and days for over a week at Roland who have been a big supporter of my music. The first show was in Greece - a private Duo show I did with Aaron and some of the crew. Aaron is going to be working with me from time to time when I do Duo shows. Kevin will also still be joining me periodically on tour.
Aaron and Kevin are taking a break from being on the road touring to be with their families. They have been touring with me for 10 plus years every year, so I definitely understand when a musician feels like they need to stop being on the road all the time. I also have felt and done that in my life. They have my full support and understanding in that. It has been a very mutually supportive and cooperative between us in this transition period. They’ve been helping the new members of the band and we all have each other’s blessings as we go forward in our lives. We are still in communication and everything is very positive with all of us.
The new musicians, Michael Ghegan (sax) and Ray Coburn (keyboards) are excellent musicians and are doing really great and we’ve gelled together as a band very quickly. It’s been exciting and quite magical. We’ve been getting great reviews on how wonderful the band sounds and both fans and critics alike are saying the crystal clear sound and the positive energy of the shows has been uplifting and inspiring.
Sunday night we played with Yes at the O2 in London. It was wonderful to see Trevor Rabin again. One of my favorite musicians and a dear friend, he and I go way back – as some of you know we wrote and composed the song “Walls” together. There is such great musical chemistry between us.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsbYfPEgKJA - “Walls” demo with just Trevor & I singing together
Special behind the scenes news –All of Yes and my band really resonate with each other and were able to watch part of each other’s shows at the O2. Also our managers had a good connection and are looking at the possibilities of my band and Yes doing more shows together in the future.
Recently I’ve asked the audience to raise their hands to show how many are coming to their first show and how many have seen me before. It’s about 80% of the audience that raises their hands that they have been to my shows before. It is so amazing and touches me deeply to see how many of you keep coming back for more and I want you to know that I keep working on improving the quality of my shows with each and every tour I do.
I am really looking forward to performing for you this year and taking you on a magical musical experience and coming together in a spirit of love and joy and celebration.
Please leave me concert reviews
here on FB and let me know what makes you keep wanting to return to experience more concerts. I’d love to hear from you.
Much Love to you all
Roger

SUPERTRAMP’S ROGER HODGSON,
THE ENDURING VOICE AND COMPOSER OF THE BIGGEST HITS, BEGINS
BREAKFAST IN AMERICA WORLD TOUR
Roger Hodgson, known for all of the
classic Supertramp mega-hits that he wrote, composed and
sang, embarks on a new world tour that kicked off June 12 in
Austria and ends on November 18 in Vancouver. With venues
selling out quickly, it is amazing how his timeless songs
and Roger’s mesmerizing performances continue to connect in
powerful ways to bring
fans everywhere back for more year after year.
The enduring appeal of Hodgson’s
compositions - songs like “Give
a Little Bit,” “The
Logical Song,” “Dreamer,”
“Take
the Long Way Home,” “Breakfast
in America,”
“It’s
Raining Again,” “School,”
“Hide
in Your Shell,” “Fool’s
Overture,” “Had
a Dream” and “In
Jeopardy,” continues to thrill and be celebrated by
multi-generations, creating yet another sold out tour.
Roger Hodgson co-founded the
legendary group almost five decades ago. Album sales now
exceed 60 million. Their hugely successful album
Breakfast in America will celebrate its 40th
anniversary next year. Touring consistently to packed and
appreciative audiences
worldwide, Hodgson continues to be honored by critics and
fans alike for his music and performances as well as his
philanthropy.

Roger on tour:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMLNeSbtVN0
There are few vocalists instantly recognizable from the
first few bars of a song but Roger Hodgson is certainly one
of that unique group. The singer/songwriter of Supertramp,
his voice is as unmistakable as the distinct keyboard sound
of his early hits.
The
Times- London, Review from The Royal Albert Hall Concert
Overjoyed grins and rhythmic claps, accurate whistling and
enthusiastic screams of jubilation accompanied with the
voice that brings goosebumps through his work. At the end,
the completely enthused listeners didn’t want to let the
world star go.
Aachen Nachrichten,
Bernd Büttgens
Beautiful. That's the word that just keeps popping into your head
when watching Roger Hodgson perform. Whether it's the
melodic complexity of his songs, the harmonies he weaves
with his band, the lyrics that sweep you away or his ability
to still command the incredible upper range of his voice,
beautiful was what kept coming to mind over and over again
during his performance. 'Breathtaking' might also apply. 'I
want more' certainly would."
Mesa Classic Rock Music Examiner, Ten Hansen
From his fingers came the magic melodies that flowed from
the heart, and as I believe: touched hearts. There was a
special bond between the artist and the audience. There was
something genuinely mystical about it. Something that only
happens when dealing with real art. Beautiful show.

In all my years of listening to Supertramp’s music, never before have I appreciated the depth and intricacies of the compositions, as much as I did during this show.

Supertramp's Roger Hodgson: the 10 best songs I've written, composed, and sung
Roger Hodgson • June 8, 2018
Supertramp legend Roger Hodgson takes us through his favourite self-penned songs
Photo © Linda Gianotti
My teenage years were a very fertile period for me. Ever since I inherited my dad’s guitar at age 12 music was my total focus, it’s what got me through boarding school. I remember running to the music room at school in between classes and playing a few chords until the next class started. I had a passion for music and put my heart and soul into it, so I would say my creativity at that time came from my “passion of youth.”
Some of the biggest hits I recorded with Supertramp were songs I’d written in my late teens. Songs such as
Dreamer, It’s Raining Again,
Breakfast in America,
Two of Us, Soapbox Opera,
Give a Little Bit and even the beginning of
Fool’s Overture, were all written during that fertile time period. These songs are my babies and I still enjoy playing all these songs in my concerts today.
It means so much to me as a songwriter and a composer to have written songs that have stood the test of time. I believe when you access that place of sincere feeling, whether it’s joy or sadness or loneliness or betrayal or longing for a partner or longing for God, it’s a universal language. When I get my mind out of the way and allow the divine, my heart and my soul to come through people feel it and identify with it because it’s also expressing feelings that are in so many people’s hearts and souls.
One thing for me as an artist that is difficult is when people ask why I am singing Supertramp songs. I don’t think of my songs as Supertramp songs - they’re my songs. In fact I wrote and composed a lot of them years before I recorded them with Supertramp, some even before I met Rick and co-founded the band. The songs were not written together with Rick or while jamming with the band. I wrote them when I was all alone. And I would bring a completed demo to the band. A lot of people don't realise this because Rick and I shared the writer credit on all the songs we recorded together as Supertramp.
Roger Hodgson will be performing these songs at this year's Stone Free Festival, on Sunday, when he'll be sharing a stage with Yes featuring Anderson, Rabin & Wakeman, as well as Joanne Shaw Taylor and Anathema. Tickets are on sale now.
The Logical Song
The Logical Song was born from my questions about what really matters in life. It was a very personal lyric for me. Throughout childhood we are taught all these ways to be, and yet we are rarely told anything about our true self. We are taught how to function outwardly, but not guided to who we are inwardly. We go from the innocence and wonder of childhood to the confusion of adolescence that often ends in the cynicism and disillusionment of adulthood.
In The Logical Song, the burning question that came down to its rawest place was 'please tell me who I am.’ I think in these modern times, the more complex life becomes, this eternal question becomes ever louder - which is why the song continues to strike such a deep chord with people around the world.
Breakfast In America
Breakfast in America is consistently one of the most popular songs in the set and it just seems to ignite a wave of joy in the audience when they hear the first chords. I was dreaming and having fun one day and this song just flowed out. I think the lyric was written in about an hour, it just came out of me.
Never could I have imagined when I wrote this song at age 19 that it would be gaining in popularity, if that is even possible, over 45 years later. It has that magical playful, fun, jubilant quality that people love to hear and sing along to. ‘Could we have kippers for breakfast, mummy dear, mummy dear.’
Give A Little Bit
Even at an unwizened young age when I wrote this song, I saw that the world needed love. I believed in love – it was always for love – and I just felt that was the most important thing in life. This song has really taken on a life of its own, and I think it’s even more relevant today than when I wrote it. Because we really are needing to value love in a much deeper way, and also we’re needing to care. There’s a spirit in the song that touches people and a magic that comes out in myself and in people around the world when I sing it. It's just one of those songs... that has a profound and beautiful message, which is give a little bit and show you care.
I know it's giving that makes me happy, and I'm very fortunate to have a gift that makes people happy. The song is characterised by the ringing tones of the 12-string guitar. It is always heartening to see people at the end of the show with their arms around each other and singing along.
Take The Long Way Home
Take the long way home is a metaphor for the universal journey of self-discovery. The song is a vehicle for reflection in which the sometimes disappointing realities in our grown up lives can reflect in a not so positive way on the hopeful idealism of our youth.
To me, home can be translated a number of ways. You can literally take the long way driving home to your house or to our true home. It's like going to where we are all heading in this journey called life and a question that burns deep inside of me: Which is where is my home? Where is peace? And often times it feels like I'm taking a long way to find it.
A lot of my songs have multi-levels and the deeper meaning to this song is about taking the long way home to our true home, that place of real connection inside our heart.
Dreamer
With the song Dreamer, I was sitting at the keyboard in my mother’s house and it was something that just flew out of me. I just sang words and the words that came out were very close to what’s in the final song. I was banging boxes and light shades and I created this magical demo.
Four years later we tried to record the song and weren’t coming up with the same magic. So we put the demo on 2 tracks and played to it and tried to copy or duplicate or re-create a lot of the sounds on the original tape. I love playing this song in concert because it seems to bring out the dreamer in everyone.
Fool's Overture
Fool’s Overture is one of my favourite pieces that I've ever written. It was very magical the way it came together. It was actually three separate pieces of music that I had for a few years and then one day they all just came together in what I think is a magnificent, kind of epic piece of music.
I always imagined performing it with an orchestra, so when I did start playing with orchestras back in the '90s, it was such a thrill to play this song. I still get goosebumps to this day every time I get an opportunity to do that.
Hide In Your Shell
I was 23 when I wrote that song, confused about life and like a lot of people are at that age, I was very shy and tried to hide my insecurities. I’ve always been able to express my innermost feelings more openly in song, and
Hide in Your Shell came to me at a time when I was feeling very lonely – with no one who shared my spiritual yearnings.
It’s a song that speaks to that place in all of us that feels alone or misunderstood, that place where we just want to hide from the world, that longs for connection yet doesn’t feel safe to reach out for help. People often write to me and say that this song in particular strikes a chord in them and that people are able to relate to it.
It's Raining Again
I wrote It’s Raining Again on a day when I was feeling sad because I’d lost a friend. I was in England looking outside the window and it was pouring rain and literally, the song came to me. I started playing these chords on this pump organ and I just started singing
It’s Raining Again.
The first version of it was much slower and more melancholy and then when I recorded it with Supertramp I decided to increase the tempo and it was more upbeat. So it’s another of my songs with a sad lyric set to up upbeat melody.
Had A Dream
It's a longing cry for whenever you are going through a stage in life, where you feel like everything around you is coming apart and the best place to be is in your center, to really rest inside the eye of the storm and in that nakedness and that vulnerability.
It's like you're reborn into a whole new way of life, a whole new aspect of yourself. It's very much like a new beginnings song.
School
It’s basically saying that what they teach us in schools is all very fine, but it’s what they don’t teach us in schools that creates so much confusion in our being. They don’t really prepare us for life in terms of teaching us who we are on the inside. They teach us how to function on the outside and to be very intellectual, but they don’t tell us how to act with our intuition or our heart or really give us a real plausible explanation of what life’s about.
School is one of those songs that really does take people back to their high school or wherever they were when they first heard it. It kind of has a spellbinding effect in my concerts today.

this new article by Mix
Magazine for the 41st
anniversary of the release of the
Even in the Quietest
Moments album. Read about the recording of Roger Hodgson's "Give a Little Bit,"
with the link to the full
article below.
~
Classic Tracks: Give a
Little Bit
Matt Hurwitz • April 3, 2018
 Hodgson explains, “I’ve always known that love is what I long for, what I want, what I believe we’re here to learn, ultimately.” And as the love chant of the ’60s was fading, he says, “Maybe it was an answer—‘Oh, just give a little bit.’”
"..It was their fifth album,
Even in the Quietest Moments, in 1977, that left an indelible mark in listeners’ ears, due in large part to Hodgson’s uplifting, magical hit single, “Give a Little Bit.”
“The song definitely hit a nerve,” the songsmith notes. “It’s the closest thing to an anthem that I’ve ever written.”
Hodgson and Davies wrote songs separately, though they were credited as by both, a la “Lennon-McCartney.” Davies, Pope noted, “would write two songs in six months, all really good, structured, thought out and orchestral. But Roger would just churn out melody after melody. He always had dozens of songs sitting there, in embryonic form—some almost complete, and some were not.” Notes Hodgson, “I still have 60 songs that haven’t been recorded.”
The songwriter was particularly prolific several years earlier, between ages 19 and 21, coming up with the hit title track for their following album,
Breakfast in America, at 19. “Music was where I expressed myself the clearest,” he notes. “I was very affected by The Beatles growing up, particularly when they began experimenting. I could really see how much more music could do—they had turned it on its head.”
He would record demos on a Sony 2-track reel-to-reel, sound-on-sound machine, where he learned to layer his guitars and vocals. “Even using the cheap little mic that came with that Sony deck,” Pope says, “which had nothing below 100 Hz, with his fabulous rhythm guitar playing—particularly on a 12-string—and his ethereal lyrical consciousness, and that great voice, he could make a home demo sound like a hit. They were remarkable.”
Hodgson explains, “I’ve always had a longing. I’ve known that love is what I long for, what I want, what I believe we’re here to learn, ultimately. And things had begun to sour for The Beatles, with their breaking up, and the whole love revolution of the 60s, and John’s ‘All You Need Is Love’ kind of fading, maybe it was an answer—’Oh, just give a little bit.’”
The song got tucked away. “I didn’t think much of it. I thought it was too simple for Supertramp. And I didn’t even play it for the band for about four years.” He would, as was his habit, play it here and there in his hotel room for bandmates or crew after shows, among other compositions, Siebenberg even remembering hearing it on occasion.
But it wasn’t until the demo period in Malibu that Hodgson formally introduced it to the band, where they then made a recording in the home’s living room—again on his Sony deck, which he used for that set of album demos (this time using a Shure SM57). “I was in New York, not with them,” Pope recalls. “He sent me that demo, which was the first time I heard the song, and it frankly sounded just like the final record.”
The band held meetings to discuss which songs they would record and focused on seven tracks, refining, prepping and demoing. “We had meetings to discuss which songs we were going to do,” says Hodgson. “We weren’t a band that would go into a studio and record 18 songs and then choose nine to release.” A balance between his and Davies’ songs was always key.
While Ken Scott had produced and recorded the group’s previous two albums, the band was ready for a change, and, being Beatles fans, made the obvious next move—asking Geoff Emerick to record them.
“Dave Margereson sat me in a room with a tape recorder and hit ‘Play,’” Henderson recalls. “That was the first time I’d heard any material—very different from how things work today.” Everything except the complex “Fool’s Overture” was “fairly close to arranged,” including “Give.”
Caribou Ranch
Caribou Ranch was the perfect fit. Built in 1972 by Chicago’s producer, Jim Guercio, on a former Arabian horse ranch near Nederland, Colo., 17 miles west of Boulder, the facility had already become legendary, having hosted the likes of Elton John, Joe Walsh, Chicago and The Beach Boys. “We’d heard about Caribou, and I just really felt like getting out of Los Angeles, going somewhere we could really focus on the music,” Hodgson says.
The band took
immediately to the environs
of Caribou Ranch. “The
environment was
incredible—the nature, the
beauty of the place were
unbelievable,” Hodgson
recalls. He, Helliwell and
Thompson would spend time
hiking or cross-country
skiing. “It felt like a real
adventure. If we were going
to make an album for months,
we wanted to make it
something special.”
Guercio had built the
studio itself into a very
large former barn structure,
rebuilt to comprise three
floors. The first floor,
with full-length porches on
either side, housed Likes’
and Burnham’s tech rooms,
another kitchen, musical
equipment storage, loading
and unloading area, and the
entrance to a hydraulic
freight elevator to the
second level. The elevator
opened up upstairs to a
hallway which led to the
studio live room and control
room, as well as a stair to
the third floor, where
musicians could relax
playing pool or pinball (and
a vintage “Pong” table
machine, all the rage at the
time).
The studio live room, about 30 feet wide by 50 feet deep, was, as was the rest of the barn, paneled with vertical wood plank. The southernmost three-quarters was carpeted, while the front quarter nearest the control room window had a parquet floor. A piano cove was built into the eastern wall, near the control room, in which the body of a Steinway grand piano sat—the same one which Elton John and countless others had/would play.
“It was carpeted and soundproofed like a drum booth, but with room for us to get in and access the soundboard and place microphones,” leaving the keyboard itself exposed into the live room, Likes explains. Henderson actually did not use the cove, instead placing the piano in a booth the team built at the south end of the room.
Near the drum booth was a custom guitar gobo box (or “amp tunnel,” as Pope calls it), for Hodgson’s MusicMan amp, among the first, Henderson notes.
The room was outfitted with one other piece of specialized equipment the band brought with them. “They brought the umbrella that was on the cover of their
Crisis? What Crisis? album and put in there,” says Likes, “for good luck.”
Recording commenced on Wednesday November 3, with Hodgson’s “Babaji,” followed by Davies’ “Loverboy” on Saturday, November 6, and the remaining tracks started on the following Saturday, Sunday and Monday. That last day, Monday November 15, saw not only a redo of “Loverboy,” but basic tracking for “Give a Little Bit.”
Tracking usually included piano, bass and drums, Henderson explains, with no click track and no live guitar (except, of course, on tracks, which were guitar-based, such as “Give” and the album’s title track, which were centered around Hodgson’s 12-string acoustic). “They would practice and rehearse, a lot of which they’d done already, while we’d get set up,” Likes says. “Then we’d do basic tracks. And when they were satisfied with the basic tracks, we’d move on to another song.”
A master was sometimes made up of the best of several takes, often taking place during tracking. “I was editing between takes,” Henderson notes. “Sometimes you would get a good first verse from one, a second verse from another,” until the best master was created.
Overdubbing took place from November 16 onward, and continued for another five weeks, until December 21. The long stretch did, actually, invoke occasional cabin fever. “We worked hard,” says Pope, “We knew why we were there. But it was winter, and we were up there week after week, working six or seven days, with nowhere to go. We all knew each other; we didn’t need to bond.” So occasional trips down to Boulder—a 45 minute drive, assuming no snow—happened three or four times, once to see a performance by Robert Palmer, a friend of Helliwell’s.
While the credit for the recordings says “Produced by Supertramp,” Pope notes, “That’s a catch-all phrase for any and all of us. But the truth is, mostly it was Roger. It was a joint effort, but Roger was the most significant voice in the room on most things. And he had the really cool, ethereal arrangement skills, which is what’s in ‘Give a Little Bit.’”
Henderson agrees: “At that time, Roger was probably the main arranger in the group. Rick was also kicking in ideas, but because Roger is more of a multi-instrumentalist, he was very, very good at coming up with parts—he had had a real knack for arranging. Sometimes there would be parts that he would think of there and then, and sometimes he would already know what he was going to put on.”
Almost an equal voice in production was that of Pope, Hodgson relates. “Russell was very, very key, in that way,” he says. “He was very important as a partner for me, in the vision of the band. And when we met Pete, that was a very powerful triad.”
Pope had moved from Devon, South Africa, around 1969, and, broke, with no work permit, recalled, “Some guy walked into the flat I was sharing and said, ‘Does anybody want to go to Norway for two weeks? This band I’m working with needs an extra pair of hands.’” Eventually, Hodgson recalls, “Russell was around, and I think we just said, ‘What do you do? Do you want to do sound for us?’ And, of course, he had no experience at all,” though became their live sound engineer, and remained so. He became a literal equal partner and considered a true member of the band, even to the point of being listed in the credits for Quietest Moments within the list of band members.
“He not only did their live sound, but was really valuable to them for throwing in his opinion,” observes Henderson. “If he heard something that was out, he was somebody they’d listen to—even helping out with lyrics. Plus, he was like the missing bridge between the band, management and the record company. He was in the thick of all of the decisions. Plus,” he smiles, “he had a very sardonic sense of humor. He would always want to say more than he did. He always held a bit back.”
Tracking “Give a Little Bit”
As mentioned, the basic track for “Give a Little Bit” was recorded on Wednesday, November 15, 1976. Hodgson played his Guild 12-string acoustic live to a drum part by Siebenberg and bass from Thompson. Thompson’s Fender Jazz Bass, using semi-flatwound strings, was recorded via DI, with no amp present in the studio, as was the common practice at the time. Davies did not play live on the track.
The drums were miked with an AKG D19 on the snare, top only, Coles 4038s for overheads, Sennheiser 421s on the four toms (tuned precisely by Pope), and either a D20 or RE20 on the kick. Henderson used no ambient or room mics.
To record Hodgson’s Guild, it was decided to place him in the elevator, located in the corridor just outside the studio and control room. The 8x8-foot hydraulic freight elevator had no cab, and just a simple gate (no doors), allowing the microphone, a Neumann U87, to pick up all of the unique resonance the wood hoistway had to offer, lowering the elevator halfway between floors to maximize the effect.
Recalls Likes, “We were trying to get a big sound for Roger’s acoustic,” something that would also provide separation from the drums. Finally, somebody said, ‘Well, let’s try putting him in the elevator.’”
“There was a lot of experimenting that went on, finding the best-sounding place, because any acoustic instrument is prone to whatever environment you’re in,” Hodgson explains. “The elevator sounded good, so I was stuck in the elevator.” The “room” was also put to use for his acoustic for the album’s title track.
The end of that day saw the last basic tracking completed, with overdubbing for the entire album beginning the following day. Henderson’s practice with complex recordings such as these, was to do a submix of those basic tracks—enough to reference/monitor while overdubbing—onto a second machine/tape, locked to the first via SMPTE timecode, and record the overdubs onto that second reel, in order to preserve the condition of the original tracks for later mixing. “When you’re working on quite a long project—and these Supertramp albums were long—playing tapes over and over and over again, a million times degrades the oxide. So the idea is to keep the initial tape as fresh as you can, and just use it for mixing.”
In the case of “Give” (as seen on the track sheet), the SMPTE stripe from the studio’s ECCO code generator was placed on Track 1 of the second reel, and the drums and bass mixed to a handle-able seven tracks (kick, overheads (“Kit”), snare and a pair of toms), with Hodgson’s 12-string placed on another track. Individual items (particularly drum elements) could easily be pulled out of the monitor mix, then, while overdubbing other instruments, as needed.
Among the first things to address for the song was building up the 12-string, taking another pass with the Guild in the elevator [Though the track sheet states, on Tracks 12 & 13, a pair of Martin 12-strings, it is today not remembered whether Hodgson’s trademark Guild remained, either on the original Reel 1, or was copied onto Reel 2 and replaced by a Martin guitar, or if it had been a Martin all along, and that is the recording that was copied, and then doubled, onto Reel 2.] The pair of guitars gave a big sound, though apparently not big enough, as they would be addressed later.
Henderson recorded Hodgson’s vocal at the studio using a Neumann U47 FET. “When we did
Breakfast in America at The Village,” he notes, “we had a valve [tube] 47, which is much, much better. I always thought the voice sounded like it had bit more proximity on. He really could have gone even closer on it, but sometimes, with those FET 47s, once you get a bit of moisture on them, they just cut out. So you have to be very careful.”
Hodgson’s unique range and tone, with an impressively high register, took the singer some time to learn to manage properly. “I really didn’t have much experience singing or working in the studio,” he relates. “I had to learn, ‘Okay, I get a bigger sound out of my voice if I don’t try hard and force it.’ The more I forced it, the more it would get squeezed and small. That was the general rule from the get-go. And then it became a matter of getting my voice sounding big enough to match the tracks that it was on top of. That was always the biggest challenge.”
He was also incredibly adept at double-tracking—as he was with his guitar playing—which he did here. Says Henderson, “Roger was very, very quick. He was almost like automatic double-tracking. He could do it accurately in one go, then just dropping in a few lines here or there. He sings very similarly every single time.”
 Hodgson also did another
favorite activity by
recording harmonies (which
were double-tracked) and
“Ahhs.”
“I love it. That was
very satisfying, and easy
for me.
I love doing that,”
he says.
With that, the song was essentially complete. A rough mix was played for visiting A & M’s Bud Scoppa, one of the company’s key A & R men. Says Pope, “We played it for him at enormous volume, and he just lost his mind. He was dancing around the room like a lunatic, and went back to Jerry Moss and said, ‘Hallelujah!’ I listened and just thought, ‘That sounds really unstoppable. There’s nothing wrong here, there’s nothing missing. That’s done.” Or so it was thought, at least.
On to The Record Plant
Lots got done at Caribou in the five weeks of overdubbing, but not enough. After a break for the holidays, Henderson and the band returned to L.A., and on January 3, started up at Record Plant on 3rd Street, where Emerick was planning on mixing the album.
Assisting Henderson was Tom Anderson (or “T.A.” as he was often called, and so credited). Anderson, nominally, was based at the studio’s Sausalito facility, which he helped build in 1972. “Sometimes they’d need a warm body in L.A., so they’d ship me down south,” the engineer says. “I really liked to go work at L.A. [Record Plant founder] Chris Stone used to say, “Up here [in Sausalito] you’ll work at 33-1/3; down south we work at 45, if not 78.” Work indeed ran from 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. daily.
Anderson’s history with Emerick began the year before this project, when Martin and Emerick recorded America’s
Hearts album in Sausalito. “That was actually the first time Geoff had worked in an American studio,” he notes. “Geoff and I hit it off from the very beginning of the sessions, and they took me with them to L.A. to work on all of the overdub sessions.” That was followed by
Harbor, in Kauai, for which Anderson and Record Plant’s Jack Crymes constructed a complete 24-track studio in a rented house. “So after two very successful recording projects, Geoff made the specific request to have me on the Supertramp sessions, which was fun, and also required a lot of creative input and thinking.”
The L.A. studio, as many
know, had three rooms,
Studio C, the largest, built
into an existing
soundstage-type building, in
which the overdubs and
mixing would take place,
Emerick being a particularly
big fan of the room’s
custom-built API mixing
console.
The main task at Record Plant for “Give a Little Bit” was to beef up, even more, Hodgson’s 12-string guitars. A Martin 12-string was added—two passes, to allow a stereo mix, as with the previous pair—this time recorded using a Frap pickup, via DI. And, toward the end of overdubbing, it was felt that still was not enough, so two passes of a Rickenbacker electric 12-string were also recorded, via DI, used because of the unique sustain it had over the acoustic instruments.
“With a total of six guitars playing the same part, and because it opened the song,” says Anderson, “it had to be as precise as possible,” something Hodgson excelled at. “It was amazing to watch him. Roger never got frustrated, he would just do it over, as needed, until he got it right. He would just patiently say, ‘Okay not quite. Let’s do it again.’”
Hodgson also added a 6-string electric guitar at Record Plant, to double Davies’ Clavinet part (though this time, recorded without a Leslie).
Emerick was due to arrive in L.A. from England (where he was continuing work on overdubs with Martin on the America album) on January 16, but with overdubs not yet completed on the Supertramp project, he came a week later, though still couldn’t begin mixing until Monday, February 7. Henderson and the band finally completed recording two days prior, the engineer leaving for England himself on Sunday to begin working with Paul McCartney at Abbey Road on Wings’
London Town later that week.
Anderson ended up mixing three or four songs for the album. Among the tasks left uncompleted was the mixing of “Give a Little Bit,” which Emerick had started, but which Hodgson felt still needed more work. “It’s a very subtle song. There are certain places that need to really lift—the end section, the whole runout, particularly, to really feel like we were playing out and jamming. So we addressed that.”
The biggest challenge in the mix were the 12-string guitars. “12-strings are, historically, one of the toughest instruments to make sound good,” Hodgson notes. “And you can imagine how many variables there are with six 12-strings. Sometimes it sounded God-awful, and sometimes they sounded great. And you never knew why. It’s been that way on every song I’ve done with 12-string.”
The difficulty, he says, “was not only to have six 12-strings add up to feel like the biggest, most gorgeous-sounding single instrument possible, but then have it fit in with drums and all the other instruments and make sense. It’s very tricky.” Anderson addressed it with a combination of EQ and compression. For the former, he says, “We didn’t have outboard EQ then. We used the API equalizers in the board.” The result, in combination with Hodgson’s precise performances, is one seamless, powerful, 12-string that drives the song long a magical musical locomotive.
The album was mastered by Frank DeLuna at A & M on March 17, with the album pressed and on the street on April 10, just days after the start of the band’s first tour date in Canada on April 6.
“Those harmonies, the tonality of the instruments combined in the rhythm track and overdubs—that’s their sound, and it’s unmistakable. I don’t know where the magic comes from, but it’s there. It all locks together.”
 The song itself has quite a lot to do with it, as is clear to this day to audiences on his own live shows [www.RogerHodgson.com]. “To me,” Hodgson notes, “it’s a magical song. Every time I play it in concert—which I still do—I open the show with it, and it has a magical effect on people. It instantly opens everyone’s heart up, including mine. I start playing it, and I start smiling, and the audience smiles back at me. It’s a very unifying song. It brings out the best in people.”
