Performed live in Munich in 1983.

"Give a Little Bit" is the opening song on Supertramp's 1977 progressive rock album Even in the Quietest Moments.... Its writing credits are given to Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson, members of the band, although it is generally acknowledged to be a Hodgson composition. The song was released as a single that same year and became a hit for the band internationally, including a number 15 peak on the Billboard Hot 100. (Thanks Wikipedia)

Joe Strummer, of The Clash, recorded this cover of Bob Marley's famous song shortly before his death (Dec. 22nd. 2002) and it was released posthumously. This music video and mural was filmed and painted on 7th Street, New York City in November 2003. Some of the people featured in the video are actor Steve Buscemi and director Jay Jarmusch. R.I.P.

You might appreciate this if you're a fan of Julie Andrews' silvery notes like me. This is the third part of a wonderful little TV treasure featuring Julie Andrews at the height of her success. Julie Andrews really ought to have been Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady instead of Audrey Hepburn.

"Dreamer" is a hit single off of Supertramp's 1974 album Crime of the Century. It peaked at Number 13 on the UK singles chart in February 1975. In 1980, it appeared on their live album Paris; that version hit Number 15 on the US charts. The song is also the shortest song on the album.

The band performed the song on the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test show in 1974, during which John Halliwell can be seen playing the rim of a wine glass on top of his keyboard to achieve a certain sound effect. (Thanks Wikipedia)
