Supertramp's 'Live in Paris ’79' coming in February

Mercury Studios

After the release of their 1979 album Breakfast in America, Supertramp hit the road in support of the record, and now fans are getting a chance to relieve that live experience.

Live in Paris '79, a recording of the band's December 1979 concerts at the Pavillon de Paris, will be released Feb. 28. Select performances from the shows previously appeared on a live album that was released in 1980, but the new release features a complete show, taken from recordings during their two concerts at the venue on Dec. 1 and Dec. 2.

The album features Supertramp performing such classic hits as “The Logical Song,” “Goodbye Stranger,” "Take The Long Way Home,” “Give A Little Bit” and more.

"Looking back at that period, it really was the experience of a lifetime ... the best of times," drummer Bob Siebenberg shares. John Helliwell, who played sax, keyboards and more, adds, "Those Paris shows were a definite high point for us because you could feel the audience reaction. You can actually hear the volatility in the French crowd. They sound a little mad!"

Live in Paris '79 will be released as a three-LP and two-CD set. Both formats are available for preorder now.

Breakfast in America went on to be the band's bestselling record, hitting #1 on the Billboard 200 Album chart and selling more than 4 million copies in the U.S.
