"In his songs he sings from life and from love, from problems that existed now and then. May it be his long lasting experience or the “We all love each other”- atmosphere, which he creates through his moderation: he succeeds in opening the hearts of the listeners for his music."

Roger Hodgson sang and charmed in Albufeira ~

"It was a real delirium of joy: waving hats, singing people and the audience thanked Roger in this way for his wonderful performance."

Master of Melancholy ~

NWZ Online, Matthias Mineur

"However Hodgson’s songs are not only nostalgic and you also don’t need to be hopeless romantic. Essentially his songs are timeless snapshots of various phases of life which the Englishmen put in words so felicitous, that you automatically feel addressed. That’s the way it was during the 70’s and that didn’t change until today."

The Return of the Supertramp Cosmos ~

Neue OZ Online, Aug 31, 2009, Tom Bullmann

"The audience wasn’t any longer able to sit down on their chairs. By the first chords of “The Logical Song” the 1600 Supertramp fans got up from their seats and fell into wild enthusiasm."

Aachen Nachrichten Online, Aug 23, 2009, Bernd Büttgens

"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.."

Badisches Tagblatt, Aug 13, 2009, Udo Barth

"With Roger Hodgson, a unique musical personality enters the stage in Oetigheim and, from the beginning, the audience gave him thundering applauses. The legendary voice and soul of Supertramp conjured up the flair of the late 70s and the early 80s to the mild summer’s eve with his unforgettable songs."

"There are many in the audience who are clapping or humming, others just enjoy the atmosphere: That is music that evokes emotions and causes goosebumps."

"Hodgson had a good rapport with the audience very easily and he invited them to sing and to dance and he made them to be all smiles. Somehow, you could have the feeling as if an old acquaintance played some songs from the good old times in your living room."

AVUI Newspaper, Jul 3, 2009, David Castillo

"Hodgson sticks to his feelings and to his work. Who said that nostalgia isn't what once was?"

Diari d'Andorra, Jun 30, 2009, A. Doral

"Hodgson had promised an intimate concert, a show of harmony with the public, it was "the concert of a happy man, with his music."

"Hodgson had not even played a single note and the audience was already gave him a standing ovation.  Imagine the reaction of the audience when Hodgson started playing his classics such as The Logical Song, Dreamer, Hide in Your Shell, Breakfast in America, and so many others that are for many people the soundtracks of their youth. Each song was applauded as though it was a reminder of memories long ago."

The Ottawa Citizen, May 2, 2009, Lynn Saxberg

"[Hodgson's] sterling voice was in peak form, effortlessly hitting the high notes and carrying the melodies with a fluid nonchalance. How cool to hear the nuances and inflections of the original songs in exactly the right places, just like they were in the grooves of the old vinyl LPs."

The Ottawa Citizen, Apr 30, 2009, Lynn Saxberg

"Going back to the stage, alone, has been a humbling experience that made Hodgson realize the power of music, and his own gift. "Every song has something in that they're not trivial songs," he says. "Because they came from a deep place in me, they touch a deep place in a lot of my audience. I'm singing songs that have been a part of people's lives for many, many years and they have a relationship with these songs."

Montreal Gazette, Apr 29, 2009, Bernard Perusse

“I get sheer joy from singing these songs night after night. Even lyrically, they’re still very relevant. Look at Give a Little Bit. I mean, boy, do we need love or do we need love in this modern world?”

Stuttgarter Zeitung, Mar 24, 2009

Zacatacas Hoy, Apr 9, 2009, Miguel Angel Reyes

"The show was the most nostalgic one of the Festival Cultural, and it was increasing the warmness, which reached its top with the songs "The Logical Song," "Lord is it Mine," "Breakfast in America" and others, captivating the seven thousands of people in the audience."

"Where ever [Hodgson] is performing he conjures a smile on the faces of the audience and he is acclaimed with standing ovations. He appears onstage very natural, like an old friend, chats with the audience and invites everybody to a time journey back to younger days."

"An evening with Roger Hodgson means to wallow in pleasure in good old memories. There are six palm trees on stage, two acoustic guitars, the keyboard with the well known miraculous sound and a grand piano. Then appears the wizard with his “bio-hairstyle” and the hippie clothes, counts the fans from the last concerts in his favourite city Munich and then here we go. Right into the thick of the beautiful harmonies and Hodgson lets his dreamy and intense falsetto voice fall down on the chords."
