Ruth Eckerd Hall ~ Clearwater,
Florida ~ March 22, 2013
Loving your show tonight Roger in Clearwater!! What a way to start a tour!!
Thanks so much for being part of my life! ~James
WOW WOW WOW. Thank you sooo much. I'm in tears. So good. God bless your tour.
Until next time!!!! ~ David
Tonight's concert was awesome and inspirational.Just wanted to say a big thank
you for recognizing my girlfriend Kathy's birthday prior to singing "Hide in
Your Shell". We really didn't expect that and must admit aside a warm fuzzy
feeling shed a tear or two. You are the best. Good luck with the rest of your
tour mate, you made our night very special. God Bless... ~Rob
The show tonight in Clearwater was more than I expected. I last saw Supertramp
in 1980 Springfield MA and I thought that could not be topped but you did it
tonight. Thanks for the great time and have a great tour. Don't forget to come
back. ~Rick
There are only a handful of artists and bands that can take me back to a place
frozen in time. Your music is a big part of those fond memories. But unlike most
other of those bands, up until Friday night at Ruth Eckerd Hall, I was never
able to see a live show. This was definitely one thing on my bucket list and it
was well worth the wait. Thanks so much for the excellent lyrics and music which
will always take me back to a certain place in time earlier in my life. ~Mike
The Clearwater show was outstanding. Brought back a flood of memories from my
college days in Buffalo..... couldn't get tickets for Supertramp at the
Auditorium (sold out), so my friend Bart and I trekked over to see you in
Rochester....then back for your second show in Buffalo :) Thank you for the
memories, thank you for sharing your stories and your talent. Safe travels for
you and your team. Your band is great, and the orchestra was marvelous!! It is
a show not to be missed! Cheers ~ Terry Power
Saw you over 30 years ago at the Bayfront Center. My first real concert. It was
magic then, and it still was last night in Clearwater. Thank you for sharing
your gift so freely, so genuinely. And Happy Birthday- that was me singing so
loudly! ~ Karen
My husband and I attended the Clearwater show last night. It was fantastic! I
have always regretted never having the chance to see this legendary music
performed, and last night was a dream come true. We cannot wait to see you
perform again...thank-you for a lovely evening. ~ Joe and Cheryl
Wow! In 1978 was the time that I was introduced to the music of Supertramp and I
never ever had an opportunity to attend any of your concerts. I would play and
enjoy long hours at home listening to your music. Could only imagine how great
your show would have been live! My husband knew that I loved your music so on
Friday March 22nd 2013 he called me on the phone to say that you were playing at
the Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater and would I like to go! This was a no brainer.
I watched with admiration and thoroughly enjoyed listening to the great music of
Supertramp. Thank you for sharing this gift and allowing me to see you play live
along with the wonderful talented musicians of the band and orchestra. I believe
that timing is life is everything and this was my time to see you play live.
Wishing you much success with your tour and can't wait for you to return and
hopefully an opportunity to meet you in person! With much admiration.. ~
Patricia
WOW what a great night of awesome music, i did not know what to expect and I was
blown away I hope that you return to Clearwater soon would love to see another
show.Thank you so much for putting on a Fantastic show. ~ Clayton Spanos
Saw you in Clearwater, FL last night. What a gentleman and musician you are.
Your voice sounds like it did in 1979. Thank you for making the long wait of 30
years to see you again, more than worth it. I wish you health and safe travels
on your world tour. Please come back to FL when you can. Many thanks,
again... ~Jeff P
My wife and I saw your fabulous music performance with the full orchestra last
evening in FL. One of the greatest music events ever for both of us. The depth
and sophistication of your music truly came through.Your music is having an
impact on younger generations also. At home, when a Supertramp song comes on
random play in the kitchen, my 11 year old son (a pianist) will say "Is that Supertramp?" Then I will hear him humming one of the countermelodies intertwined
into your works. Thank you from all of us. ~Jeff
We attended your concert at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater and we are fans anew!
In the Montreal concert on dvd and also your performances alone (Princess Diana
concert), there is such an elegant, clear simplicity to your wonderful words and
music. But, the depth and richness of your songs with the orchestra (and the
excellent band) is so layered and succulent, it is like consuming fine wine with
a perfect artisanal cheese. One can weep at the beauty. Thank you for such a
memorable evening. The experience will remain with us until we can see you
again. ~Anne
I attended your show in Clearwater and cannot tell you how beautiful it was.
Supertramp has been my favorite band since high school. Your music is incredible
and uplifting. I brought my sister to your show, she's been having a real hard
time lately. Your music helps people Roger. You make people feel good. I saw
that last night and I thank you. God Bless you. A Forever Fan ~ kathy

 Last October 2012 I wrote you a note telling you how much my wife and I were
looking forward to the Clearwater, FL concert. I had also mentioned that I had
just recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer and was expecting a radical
prostatectomy in October. But I was determined that nothing was going to keep me
from making the trip to Tampa from my home town of Jackson, MS, to see you
perform. My wife and I were there last Friday night in Clearwater, and we were
so blessed by your music and the great orchestra accompanying you. Your music
and voice truly ministered to me, especially my favorite song, "Lord, Is It
Mine." Thanks for a wonderful evening. I am so glad I was able to make the trip.
It was truly worth it in memories I will have a long time from now. Thanks for
your magical performance! ~Charles Wilson
The Clearwater show was an absolute gift to those of us in attendance. It's a
somewhat spiritual, chilling experience to watch and listen to those songs (some
written in TEEN years?!) performed with such grace, and, here in 2013,
relevance. The west coast of Florida was graced by something special. I was
happy for some of the fans that I seen and heard being visibly moved by your
songs, Roger. Thanks Linda and Shakti for including Florida! Atlanta, woo hoo! I
lived there briefly in 1980 and Supertramp and the Paris album got lots of
airplay. Great addition to the tour. See ya'll there. Godspeed... ~ Frank

Hello Roger, I first want to say that my wife Sandy and I just attended your
show in Clearwater, FL and it was nothing less than spectacular! We flew in from
South Carolina since we missed getting tickets to your show in Blue Ash, Ohio.
See, we'll go just about anywhere to see you and that brings me to this
question. Does being a member of your mailing list make it possible to buy
tickets ahead of the public sale? You see, Sandy and I want to attend your show
in Atlanta on August 18 as part of celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and
are wanting, again, to get the best seats in the house! We love your music and
your interaction with us fans. Hoping we can see you soon. Warmest regards, Ron
I have been a fan all my life, your music makes me feel like I was young again
and had no worries. For that I can't thank you enough. The Clearwater show on
Friday was amazing! I couldn't believe my ears. ~ Ralph
It was a tremendous thrill to play in the orchestra for this concert. Such
energy from the crowd. ~Michael Sedloff
I saw your concert last night at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater FL. for the
opening of your tour. I had seen Super Tramp about 35 years ago in St. Pete,
Florida, and that concert was in my top 3 concerts (of "any" band) that I'd ever
seen. I've been a long time fan, but this concert last night was incredible! The
orchestra that played with you last night, added something unexplainable to your
music. The experience was almost surreal. It was truely a magnificent
performance and I will remember it for years to come! I feel you've got a great
tour in your future, and I'll surely be in line when you come back to Florida
again. - Linda S.
It was a fabulous show. One of the best ever. The crowd just loved Roger and in
turn, it drew out the best in everybody there! A favorite moment? The crowd
spontaneously singing happy birthday!
~ Toni Amey
We were there. We loved it. Hard for me to fathom going down memory lane with
these songs that 35 years or so later I would be in an intimate setting such as
Friday night in Clearwater , Fl., enjoying this amazing, spot on perfomance.
Kudos to Roger, the band & orchestra. What a night. Thank-You so much. ~ Larry

I want to thank You for playing at Ruth Eckerd in March 2013 I know you could
have played anywhere in the US and to much larger audiences. I saw you back in
1977 in NY . It was a real treat to take my wife to see you she enjoyed it very
much and so did I brought back my teenage years !! God Bless ! ~ Gene Donato
Thank you for making one of my dreams come true! You were spectacular and was
filled with so many emotions and taking me back down memory lane! All brillant ~
Patricia Kleinfeld
Wow, just got back to Kansas from this concert and spring training trip....this was an awsome concert. I have been waiting for a long time to see Roger in concert, and Roger, his band, and the orchestra did not disappoint the audience in Clearwater, FL. I have been listening to his music from the first album Supertramp released in 1970 on up to Roger's solo albums. His music reflects on almost everything in my life. I listen to it each and every day. I am blessed to have had this opportunity to see him in this venue. Thank You so much...
