    Thanks for the video heads up
    Figured it was a tease though!
    Saw them live around 80 in San Diego on Breakfast in America Tour with Tull
    Cannot remember who the headliner was
    I love Crime of the Century and wish I had seen them before BinA

    I believe you, I was too young. I just never knew.
    Not just a Genesis fanboy.

    I never heard this. I saw them in '79 and '83 (first show of the US tour). Roger announced from the stage he was going to be leaving.
    Where was your show supposed to be?

    Pittsburgh.

    You saw them in Jersey on August 9, then?

    http://db.etree.org/lookup_show.php?shows_key=604748

    The latest show listed here is September 24 in LA.

    http://db.etree.org/db/shows/browse/...3727/year/1983

    This might not be a full tour list

    I don't recall the date of the Pittsburgh show.

    I saw Roger about 2 months ago at the American Music Theater in Lancaster, while the show itself was great and the set list also good, the mix and sound in the theater was horrible, unless all you want to hear is the bass drum. I'm a drummer, but it was just really to distracting to even listen to, I left early and told somebody in the lobby who was involved in Rogers entourage why I was leaving, but it was too late at that point. Bottom line, great theater, great show, horrible sound, a real disappointment.

    that was my understanding as well... He warned that Munich 83 (the end of the tour) would be his last gig before the start of the tour

    I guess that's why it was filmed too.
    my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

    Roger is touring though.



    I just bought a ticket for a June date in Long Island NY, Ricky and the Rockets featuring GE Smith and Marty Walsh


    the venue looks like a bed and breakfast dinner theater type of thing and should be low key and cool


    after seeing Supertramp a few times, with and without Roger, seeing several solo, dup and band Hodgson shows, I am stoked to see Rick sing some of these classic songs.

    Munich was the end of the European tour. They did a US tour after that.

    All I know if that we had tickets and found out the day of the show it was cancelled and they were no more. We had to return the tickets for a refund.

    ^^ So, what puzzles me is why it was announced locally as a breakup when the Pittsburgh show was cancelled, yet there were performances after that. I have to say I believed the local DJ, which could have been a mistake. But, they did cancel the day of the show.

    Sounds like what happened to my friends & I in 1975. Had tickets to see Genesis in Dallas (Lamb tour) We get to the concert and there was a piece of copy paper on the front doors: "Genesis is Cancelled" The concert was never rescheduled, the tour ended & Gabriel left, never to return.

    Gabriel finished the Lamb tour in Europe as I recall, he didn't quit in the middle of the tour. The US portion of the tour was already concluded wasn't it? From Wiki:
    "The decision to quit the band was made before the tour supporting The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, with Gabriel explaining his decision to the band while keeping it from the press until the conclusion of that tour."

    I have never heard they had scheduled another leg to come back to the States after Europe when they knew he was leaving.

    Hodgson announced he was leaving at the end of the tour- he didn't quit in the middle of the tour.

    Could have been a sickness in the band caused a cancellation of your date. I saw the Philly show. It was great but what a bring down when Roger said he was leaving.

    first you said i was wrong, then you stated the same thing.

    One reads it as, "at the end of the tour, he announced he was leaving."

    The other reads it as, "before the tour, he announced he was leaving at the end of the tour."

    if you quote someone don't omit key words so you can twist it around.
    i said 'Hodgson announced he was leaving at the end of the tour'

    Yes, I was at the Austin show and remember this very well. Crowd booed but he said something like it was for the best or some such thing.

    Don't you see how that can be read two ways?

    One way, it sounds like he told them in advance that he would leave at the end of the tour.

    The other was sounds like he waited until the end of the tour to announce he was leaving.

    This would be a good thread topic.

    I showed up to see Missing Persons in 1986 and the sign on the box office said "No Show - Band Broke Up - Refunds @ Point of Purchase".

    There's a few other shows where I either attended their last show, or the show was cancelled due to a breakup.

    I am quite sure he said out loud to someone somewhere sometime "hey, yeah. I am leaving Supertramp" after he actually left lol



    the point was he said it privately to the band and management (and label presumably) but actually announcing it mid-show was the first time the public was notified



    not that hard to comprehend

    Saw them multiple times, twice with RH. Second time was the August 1983 show at Madison Square Garden. RH was there lol, and did ‘announce’ that he was leaving the band. I think my favorite show was actually the Brother tour - before they were employing guest singers to do bad impressions of RH. Always liked the harder edge, bluesy quality to RD stuff.
