I can't remember when I first started listening to Supertramp, but have all the albums and went to see them live in various locations (including Leeds).
Yeah I'd say my musical tastes are pretty wide, although I do draw the line beyond which not much gets a hearing. I tend not to buy much in the way of new music these days because the collection has become almost unmanageable. There are boxes of vinyl albums that just never get played anymore, but I refuse to get rid of them.
Someone asked me recently who my favourite author was and I answered, when? I've found it difficult to put any one of a couple of dozen authors on the top of my list and suspect you may well feel the same way?
Lots of similarities GB: wonder how many more we may find? You can bet there will be a few.

Leeds eh? That wouldn't by any chance have been at the infamous 'Queen's Hall' (actually an old tram shed), would it?

Oh heck, I don't know. Could have been. Must have been around 75 or 76 and I seem to remember the venue bring in the centre of the city.
I do know it took us hours to get there and back.

Yeah, that sounds like it, it was almost in the centre.
I had many good times there as a young feller. The last was at a beer festival. Oh boy, did me and my college mates do some serious boozing that day!
The old place was knocked down years ago. They built a posh office block and some poncy restaurant in it's place. I know it's probably an improvement in many ways, but it's sad that a place with so many memories has gone for ever.
Hey ho....

Sounds right then, eh?
As you say, it's always a shame when venues like that are destroyed. We had a superb Odeon cinema in Newport, that became a snooker club, a second rate music venue and is now a happy-clappy church. I wish it was still a cinema, but at least they've left the exterior structure alone, which is something I suppose.
Just a pair of old geezers us I'm afraid. -

Not to everyone's taste, but a great band as far as I'm concerned. As long as you don't blame me for the rain - it's stopped raining here and is much brighter now though.

Another Supertramp fan here! I first became aware of them in 1979 with "The Logical Song". I have had the Breakfast in America album on vinyl for years and last year had the Retrospectacle CD. They are good songs and tunes, well produced.

Join the club Ethel: the more the merrier.
You caught up with Supertramp as they were right at the height of their art: they made some really great music around that time and were one of the best bands on the road too. -

Curiouser and curiouser……it’s becoming quite unnerving. The number of things we have in common.
I have been an avid Supertramp fan for years, with quite an extensive collection of their albums. Crisis What Crisis?, Crime Of The Century, Even In The Quietest Moments, Breakfast In America etc……to name but a few.
It would seem we both have somewhat ‘catholic’ tastes. From Supertramp to Screamin’ J Hawkins, Milligan to Wilde, Solzhenitsyn to Shakespeare, that’s me.
Do you find anything familiar?
Weird man, weird…..
