Supertramp played a pivotal role in my adolescence. I saw them twice in New Brunswick (Crisis, What Crisis, Even in the Quietest Moments) and once at the CNE (Breakfast in America).

Their concert sound was next level compared to most of their contemporaries.

They, along with their sound man, Russell Pope, were among the earliest users of the Midas / Martin combination.

Honestly, other than Yes, and Rush, I had never heard better live sound.

RIP to a great song writer.

I missed them in 1979 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova...da/nova-scotia/supertramp-breakfast-in-america-1979-tour-halifax-show-1.6111946

Great band - I still listen to them semi-regularly. "Cannonball" is my go-to when I'm setting up a new stereo.
