''Classics Live'' is the fifth solo album by former
Supertramp songwriter and co-founder
Roger Hodgson, and his second live album.
Overview
''Classics Live'' is a collection of his live performances from acoustic, band and orchestra shows recorded on his 2010 world tour. David Wild, contributing editor at ''
Rolling Stone'' magazine, said of ''Classics Live'': "...An utterly inspired collection of live performances of the best-loved songs that Roger Hodgson has written and sung to date, ''Classics Live'' reminds us in the most vivid way who brought the world such beloved rock standards as "
Give a Little Bit", "
Take the Long Way Home", "
The Logical Song" and "
Dreamer" and why these shining songs endure as deeply personal yet somehow universal expression of longing, love and our endless search for human connection."
The successor to ''Classics Live'' − ''Classics Live 2'' − is to be released soon.
