Bloody Well Right: Mercury Studios Reissues Supertramp's "Live in Paris '79"

February 27, 2025 By Joe Marchese 2 Comments

Supertramp Live in Paris '79

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

With the release of 1979's Breakfast in America, Supertramp ascended to superstar status. The U.K. group's sixth studio album, Breakfast was one of the year's best-selling albums.  It yielded four international hits with "The Logical Song" (No. 6 U.S./No. 7 U.K.), "Take the Long Way Home" (No. 10 U.S.), "Goodbye Stranger" (No. 15 U.S./No. 57 U.K.) and "Breakfast in America" (No. 62 U.S./No. 9 U.K.).  The LP won two Grammy Awards and was certified quadruple Platinum in the United States where it stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for six weeks.  Naturally, the band toured extensively behind the album, and now, their full 1979 set in Paris is about to see reissue from Mercury Studios.

Tomorrow, February 28, Live in Paris '79 will arrive on 2 CDs or 3 LPs, preserving a full setlist from primary songwriters Roger Hodgson (vocals/guitar/keyboards) and Rick Davies (vocals/keyboards) with John Helliwell (vocals/woodwinds/keyboards), Dougie Thompson (bass), and Bob Siebenberg (drums).  This album was previously released in 2015 on CD following a 2012 DVD and Blu-ray release of the video.  The 2025 edition is the set's official vinyl debut.

Live in Paris '79 was drawn from the band's concerts of December 1 and 2, 1979 at the 8,000-capacity Pavilion de Paris, whereas the 1980 double album simply titled Paris was primarily drawn from the November 29 show there.  The complete concert was composited from the two performances and features 22 songs, as opposed to just 16 on Paris.  The hit "Goodbye Stranger" is among the songs heard here that are not featured on the 1980 album; others include "Child of Vision," "Even in the Quietest Moments," "Downstream," "Another Man's Woman," and the U.S./U.K. hit "Give a Little Bit."  Unlike Paris, which had to shuffle the song order in order to accommodate the running time of vinyl, the concert is presented here in its original sequence.

Surprisingly for Mercury Studios, known for its multi-format releases, the video component is not part of this campaign.  Look for Live in Paris '79 tomorrow, February 28.  You'll find the track listing and pre-order links below.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

    I have the 2015 Eagle Rock version which has both the double CD and the DVD of the concert with all the 22 songs you mentioned. I hope it's the same as this new release.

      It has the same track list and order. I also have that same 2015 Eagle Rock set. Nothing new here to get with this release.
