"It may have been the BEST concert I have ever seen. Roger's voice is even better than it was when he was with Supertramp. My friends and I were blown away by your sheer talent. I would highly recommend anyone to go see Roger live if they can."

"Your songs are really timeless and you perform them with so much depth and feelings that one cannot but be touched and moved."

"Your music and more importantly, your enthusiasm for expressing your music to the audience is inspiring ! I felt that you sang each and every song with a passion...not just a empty or bland repetition of sameness ! Thank for a wonderful evening !"

"The intense joy and pleasure I get at your shows almost defies description. Your talent (vocal, instrumental and writing) and humility are almost literally incredible. To see your songs -- without exception such beautiful, well-crafted, intelligent works of art-- performed to perfection is bafflingly overwhelming. I am thunderstruck at the pure, wholesome, overpowering goodness that radiates from your stage. I shake my head at the beauty of it all."

    This guy is original and he's a real masterpiece of music and songs

    - It starts (and ends) with the Blues harp of School. - The piano accompanying the vocals at the beginning (and at the end), remind of the long coda of the song Crime of the Century. - The synth bass + drums sound like those on the Fool's Overture. So does the little figure on 4:09. - The chords on 4:45 and 7:49 were directly lifted from the Fool's Overture. - The clarinet on 6:25 is very Supertramp-like. - Oh, and the singer really sounds a lot like the singer of this old 70s hit song Dreamer.

    I saw Supertramp in the 80's in St Louis. I've seen a lot of shows, but Supertramp was the best!
