Well, I was very disappointed to read this review. I was at both the concerts, very close to the front, and enjoyed both 10 CC and Roger Hodgeson a great deal.

I’ve loved 10 CC for years and have never seen them perform. I was utterly stoked in their tight performance, and absolutely thrilled to have been there. At no time was I “worried” by the changes in their line up over the years – and for reviewer Andrew Watt to declare that Rick Fenn and Paul Burgess are not real 10 CC’ers – that they’ve been “playing these tunes for a good many years” is certainly a gross under-exaggeration of their impact on the band. They joined in 1977 – it’s now 2010. So … they’ve lived there for 33 years and they’re still not considered to be locals? Get a life! 10 CC was brilliant! Absolutely! Unequivocably! Without any reservation and as far as I could see, 99.9% of the audience thought so as well!

Roger Hodgson was beyond incredible! I couldn’t believe that one bloke with a piano or keyboard – accompanied by another bloke (who, by the way, was not paid enough – whatever he’s earning! He’s abolutely brilliant – vocally & instrumentally!) could take the audience on such a remarkable musical journey! I was totally inspired. If I was to be honest – this concert was almost a spiritual experience for me – it was, quite simply, that good! I was on a high for days!

Thanks for listening!

I was at the palais theatre on tuesday night to see Roger, let me tell you,it was the greatest show on earth, absolutely unbelievable. I cant put into words how good it was, the man is a genius and so humble to go with it. The show went for 90 mins but seemed like 20 mins, I cant think of a better thing ive done in my life than what i experienced at the palais, i will be at all other Roger shows while he is in Australia, i will walk there if i have to.

He played like a champion and sang like it was 1976!
And i saw supertramp in melbourne 1976 as a teenager.

Rogers show is an absolute must see, can`t express how good they really are !!

I saw roger at Orwell park a couple of years ago & was blown away with the Roger & Aaron`s performance !!!

The set now includes a Fools Overture ( it didn`t back then), another stunning classic !!!!!!!

Roger please come back & do some shows in England please !!!!!!!!!!!

One concert, all you have to do is experience one and you will know. Roger understands the power, the sea of faces before him. Humbly he stand before his audiences and offers himself with no pretenses. You feel him connect with and sing with his heart. His voice and music sounds better than ever. It so amazes me how two people, Roger and Arron, can create such a full sound. I can not wait to see him again.

Amazing words about Roger Hodgson – he truly is a most gifted artist, his concerts are always wonderful, just as described above )) I saw him 6 times by now and I still don’t want to miss a chance to attend his shows again and again … this year it will be for sure once again in Munich, can’t wait ))

I saw Roger Hodgson’s show and was astonished as to how great it was. I knew it would be good but all I can say is WOW!! I didn’t want the night to end. Hearing him sing the timeless classics he wrote and composed such as Dreamer, Take the Long Way Home, Give a Little Bit, Breakfast in America, The Logical Song, was so very wonderful. Memories came flooding back. Now I have new memories of this unforgettable night. Don’t miss out on the chance to see Roger live in concert. You will be so very glad that you did.
