Deluxe three disc (NTSC/Region 0 DVD + two CDs) edition. Supertramp's Breakfast In America was the biggest selling album in the world in 1979. It spawned several hit singles and went on to win two Grammy Awards and sell in excess of 20 million copies. Following the album's release Supertramp embarked on a 10 month world tour which arrived in Paris at the end of November. This show from the Pavillon de Paris was both filmed and recorded and now for the first time the full length audio and the concert film are combined in one set. The concert features the different songwriting styles of Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies, who each composed the songs on which they sing lead vocals. The sound has been remixed by Peter Henderson and Supertramp's original sound engineer Russel Pope from the original multi-tracks and on the DVD is presented in both stereo and 5.1 surround sound. This is a legendary show by a legendary band performing at their absolute peak and is a must for any Supertramp fan. Review: Great DVD even if purists give it a 2 star rating - For a 1979 video, this dvd has amazing audio and video quality. But let's get to what's really important; this video highlights Supertramp's amazing songwriting and musicianship. Let's face it, some bands that are great in the studio suck live. These guys go the other way. They take their great studio recordings and take it to another level live. As for detractors of this DVD, I only wish I had the audio equipment and superb hearing to detect if this DVD is more spacious or has better ambience or has better separation between the instruments than some other format. If you like supertramp, just buy it; you'll love it. Review: If You Are A Fan Of Supertramp Buy This Package. - I love the concert DVD. I went to see Supertramp in Philadelphia PA right after Break in America was originally released and the DVD is great. I like the CDs too. The concert on the CDs includes more songs that were offered on the original two album set and CD set. I've already told another friend of mine that he has to buy this Supertramp package and my friend ordered it last week. I will tell others to buy this Supertramp package deal. I'm really impressed being a huge fan of the band. I would love to see more deals like this offered regarding a Supertramp concerts both newer and older concerts. I would love to be able to purchase DVDs of Supertramp after Roger left the band that includes live music from Supertramp's Free as a bird and later. It's a shame Roger left so this is why more people need to purchase this package.

Fantastic Musicianship/Along With That Supertramp Quirkiness
This concert is fantastic, a lovely archive of a solid band. The DVD is fantastic and opens the concert with a fun Charlie Chaplin skit. It leads into the opening number "School"; which is (in my opinion) a Supertramp staple, and it is executed in a phenomenal manner. "Hide In Your Shell", "Rudy", "Child of Vision", "Fool's Overture", and "Goodbye Stranger" have to be my favorite performances the band has done. They are priceless! You can observe the setlist on the back of the packaging so I will contain myself from analyzing each track individually. However, if you are a fan of Supertramp OR you just discovered them and want to know what to listen to, this is a must have. Excuse the redundancy, but this setlist has a nice spectrum of their catalog of music up unto "Breakfast In America". Along with their musicianship, the gang demonstrates that they can be sophisticated and goofy in a tasteful manner, as we have some costumed characters run on the stage to add some theatrical aspects to the show. I don't want to give anymore away, it is a must watch. It is a great DVD, and it includes some of the tracks that weren't previously recorded in the Extras menu, which is nice! Again, sorry for being a broken record, but it you are a fan or beginning to acquire a Supertramp phase, this is a great package to help you discover more from this gem of a band.

SUPER(B)TRAMP!!
Complete Paris concert on 2 CD's and the concert minus 5 songs (incl. as bonus video clips) on DVD. Sound is well balanced and the supreme professionalism of this band is just beautiful. I love seeing the constant moving around of Hodgson, Davies and Helliwell between wurlitzer, piano, synth, guitars and woodwind instruments. It shows how versatile and musically intelligent Supertramp was. It is definitely a peak and the body of work was fantastically strong! School, A Soap Box Opera and Crime of the Century are milestones! And since we all get the chance to pour out our admiration and love for all these music heroes here - Crisis? What Crisis?, their '75 album is my favourite and it should be a must have on your shelf!

Best Live Concert Ever
Whether on CD like this, or in the Bluray format, which I would also highly recommend, this concert is nothing short of amazing. The performances of all of their best hits is fresh in the live setting. Never does it feel like they're just pumping out the studio version. And to watch on Bluray or listen on CD to Fool's Overture is a jaw-dropping, chilling experience that makes the entire CD or Bluray worth buying JUST FOR THAT ONE SONG. And BTW, I saw them on this tour during their Canadian leg of the tour. In fact, I believe we may have been their very first stop.
