A couple of members (don’t remember which ones) were in a USO show on my ship during a med-cruise back in the 80s.

Got to see Supertramp play at Rutgers U (1979) Breakfast in America Tour. I vaguely remember a gorilla chasing a giant banana around a patio table & chairs.

Also got to see Roger Hodgson play at Park Casino just before the COVID lockdowns.

Same! I was hoping he and Roger Hodgson could reconcile for a tour, but alas it never happened. I saw a quote from Roger that said something like “I always like to do what my fans ask, so I reached out to Rick and asked about a supertramp reunion and he replied that he had NO interest in doing so.”

Me too. Breakfast in America would have been a good tour to see them on.

I saw them live. Think it was in 1979 but I’m not sure although I recall the concert well... big stadium sitting on the grass with a crowd of friends about 30 yards back from the stage. Very nice tight band... the antics of John Helliwell playing sax kept the atmosphere loose on stage. For some reason, the song Bloody Well Right stick in my memory the most from the concert.
