Classics Live (Roger Hodgson album)

Classics Live is the fifth solo album by former Supertramp songwriter and co-founder Roger Hodgson, and his second live album.

Overview

Classics Live is a collection of his live performances from acoustic, band and orchestra shows recorded on his 2010 world tour. David Wild, contributing editor at Rolling Stone magazine, said of Classics Live: "...An utterly inspired collection of live performances of the best-loved songs that Roger Hodgson has written and sung to date, Classics Live reminds us in the most vivid way who brought the world such beloved rock standards as "Give a Little Bit", "Take the Long Way Home", "The Logical Song" and "Dreamer" and why these shining songs endure as deeply personal yet somehow universal expression of longing, love and our endless search for human connection."

The successor to Classics Live − Classics Live 2 Ã¢ÂˆÂ’ was mentioned by Roger Hodgson throughout the 2010s, and was formally announced on his website in 2019, to be sold during his 2020 tour, but those concerts were cancelled due to COVID-19, meaning that Classics Live 2 remains unreleased.
