1999 live album by Supertramp
It Was the Best of Times live album by the English rock band Supertramp , released in April 1999. The album title makes use of the opening line from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens .
Overview [ edit ]
It Was the Best of Times was recorded in September 1997 at the Royal Albert Hall , London , England , UK Some Things Never Change
The band includes vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Mark Hart performing songs originally sung by Roger Hodgson .
Supertramp are also augmented by additional players added for this album and tour which later would also take part in the recording of Slow Motion
The 2-CD version features the song "Don't You Lie to Me", a blues song that the band had performed on their 1988 tour and the only song not written by a current or former band member.
The single CD version was later re-released in 2006 under the name of Live, 1997 .
Reception [ edit ]
Reviewing the double CD edition, AllMusic wrote that in comparison to the single CD version, "...this two-CD set packs on eight further selections from Supertramp's career to that point, still eschewing their first two LPs, without really adding anything to the portrait painted by the slimmer edition."[1]
