Supertramp - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: Hammersmith Odeon, London, Britain, 3-9-1975

Supertramp did some BBC studio sessions in the early 1970s. As their popularity grew, they graduated to have entire concerts broadcast for the BBC. Here's one, from 1975.

Supertramp actually performed two concerts for the BBC in 1975, one in January, and this one in March. Both set lists were very similar, but there were three unique songs to the January concert, so I included those in Volume 2 of this series. That concert remains unreleased, while this one has been released as part of the 2014 deluxe edition of the "Crime of the Century" album. It has slightly better sound than the other concert, so I'm posting this one.

The album "Crime of the Century" was released in late 1974, and the band's 1975 album "Crisis? What Crisis" wouldn't be released until November. So this was still part of the tour to support "Crime of the Century." However, a couple of songs that would appear on "Crisis? What Crisis" do appear here, like "Lady" and "Another Man's Woman."

At an hour and 14 minutes, this appears to be the compete concert.

I'm still surprised how hard it is to find any good color photos of Supertramp, since they're so popular. I found one of the band in concert in May 1975. However, the band members were spread out on stage. So I chose to crop it down to just show the band's two main singers and songwriters, Rodger Hodgson and Rick Davies.
