18 year old, I saw Supertramp at Bournemouth Winter Gardens. For the last half
century they have remained one of my timeless favourite bands and tonight, 49
years later, I went to The Confederation Centre of the Arts to see the tribute
band, Classic Albums Live, who played Supertramp’s ground-breaking progressive
rock album, Crime of the Century, from front to back.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I parked a three
minute brisk walk from the theatre and was in my seat by 7:10. Unusually for
the Confed Centre filming and photography were permitted so I dimmed the screen
on my phone and switched off the flash in readiness. The house lights were lowered
promptly at 7:30 and the familiar haunting harmonica wailed the intro to ‘School’.
I was transported back five decades to one of my earliest rock concerts; quite
a spine-tingling moment. The compositions on this classic album require no
introduction from me. Suffice it to say that tonight’s line-up of musicians,
nine in all, played the album scrupulously faithful to the studio cut, even
down to fade-outs and the faint ‘cuckoo’ in the silence at the end of ‘Asylum’.
It was a stunning performance. The ‘musique concr</span><span face="Helvetica, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: #444444; font-size: 11pt;">è</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">te’ elements such as the train sounds, platform
announcements and busking violinist on ‘Rudy’ were reproduced by digital file,
making this a deeply authentic experience.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">At the close of
the final album track, Crime of the Century the band spokesman called for a twenty
minute break after which he promised several more Supertramp numbers. I took
the opportunity to leave my allotted seat with the giant human sitting
typically in front of me and found an uninterrupted view from some empty rows
further back and to the side. From there I enjoyed seven more songs from three
other Supertramp albums. A nice bonus was that the excerpt from Winston
Churchill’s WW2 speech in ‘Fool’s Overture’ was voiced admirably and suitably
gruffly by one of the guitarists!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Musicianship was
of the highest order with two keyboards, two guitarists, bass, drums, extra percussionist, and
woodwind of sax, clarinet, flute and cornet. Lead vocals were shared by one
guitarist and a solo singer. Lighting was simple but effective. That the band
needed nine players on stage is a testament to Supertramp’s ability to play
their music live with only their original five-piece.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Set list:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">1 School<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">2 Bloody Well
