{"product_id":"live-in-paris-79","title":"Live in Paris '79","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew York, NY - Supertramp, in 1979, was one of the biggest bands in the world, following the release and extensive accompanying tour for the album \u003cem\u003eBreakfast In America\u003c\/em\u003e. Their complete set at the 8,000-seat Pavillon de Paris in December of that year, on the third of four sold-out nights, is released as \u003cem\u003eLive In Paris ‘79\u003c\/em\u003e on 3LP for the first time, as well as a standalone 2CD package, the first time the audio has been available without the video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilmed and recorded on December 1 and 2, 1979, the classic lineup of members Rick Davies (singer-songwriter-keyboardist) and Roger Hodgson (singer-songwriter-guitarist-keyboardist) with John Helliwell on sax, woodwinds, vocals, and keyboards, and a rock-steady rhythm section of bassist Dougie Thomson and drummer Bob Siebenberg capturing Supertramp performing at the peak of their career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the previously released 1980 “Paris” live album, featuring selections from earlier shows of this Paris run, the triple LP and double CD soundtrack to the film features the audio of the home video release, recorded during the two December shows. Having been on the road for almost ten months throughout America, Canada, and Europe in support of \u003cem\u003eBreakfast in America\u003c\/em\u003e, 1979's top-selling album, which sold in excess of 20 million copies, producing several hit singles and went on to win two Grammy awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a London-based band that started in 1969 and, with a new line-up, reached stardom in 1974 with the release of its third album \u003cem\u003eCrime of the Century\u003c\/em\u003e and within five years to have now reached the very pinnacle of music success, it must have felt sweet. Performing such Supertramp favorites as “Bloody Well Right,” “The Logical Song,” “Breakfast In America,” “Goodbye Stranger,” “Asylum,” “Even In The Quietest Moments,” “Give A Little Bit,” “Dreamer,” “Rudy,” “Take The Long Way Home,” “Fool’s Overture” and others amounted to nothing short of a celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlus, Supertramp punctuated the proceedings with theatrical flair including moments of pure insanity including a gorilla, a banana, filmed projections of some of history’s most evil characters, and silent film star Charlie Chaplin himself actually walking out onstage! Bob Siebenberg says, “looking back at that period, it really was the experience of a lifetime…the best of times.” John Helliwell notes “those Paris shows were a definite high point for us because you could feel the audience reaction. You can actually hear the volatility in the French crowd. They sound a little mad!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2CD TRACK LISTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1\u003c\/strong\u003e ['School', “Ain't Nobody But Me”, 'The Logical Song', 'Goodbye Stranger', 'Breakfast In America', 'Bloody Well Right', 'Hide In Your Shell', 'From Now On', 'Child Of Vision', 'Even In The Quietest Moments', 'You Started Laughing (When I Held You In My Arms)']\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 2\u003c\/strong\u003e ['A Soapbox Opera', 'Asylum', 'Downstream', 'Give A Little Bit', 'Dreamer', 'Rudy', 'Take The Long Way Home', “Another Man's Woman”, “Fool's Overture”, 'Two Of Us', 'Crime of the Century']\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3LP TRACK LISTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAin't Nobody But Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Logical Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye Stranger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreakfast In America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBloody Well Right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHide In Your Shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom Now On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE C\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChild Of Vision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven In The Quietest Moments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Started Laughing (When I Held You In My Arms)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Soapbox Opera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE D\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsylum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDownstream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGive A Little Bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDreamer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE E\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRudy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake The Long Way Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnother Man's Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE F\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFool's Overture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Of Us\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrime of the Century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Mercury","offers":[{"title":"Black LPx3","offer_id":51117920125259,"sku":"2240022","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CDx2","offer_id":51117921042763,"sku":"2240023","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/602465838534_STRAMP_LIP79_2CD_mini-3c__11b6de2c_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1737134910","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/live-in-paris-79","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
