"Breakfast In America" ​​de Supertramp fue el álbum más vendido del mundo en 1979. Engendró varios sencillos de éxito, ganó dos premios Grammy y vendió más de 20 millones de copias. Tras el lanzamiento del álbum, Supertramp se embarcó en una gira mundial de 10 meses para promocionar el disco. Este documento recoge filmaciones de cuatro conciertos que la banda ofreció entre el 28 y el 31 de diciembre de 1979 en el Pavillon de Paris, en su apogeo absoluto.

Supertramp was one of the last major progressive-rock bands to enjoy an international commercial breakthrough; the band had cultivated a devoted following with their witty and intelligent music since their debut in 1970, but it was 1979's Breakfast in America album which made them a household name in America and Europe. Inside Supertramp 1974-1978 - A Critical Review features rare performance footage of the band along side a panel discussion in which musicians and music writers offer their insights on this especially fruitful period in the group's history

Live in Munich, Bavaria Germany, 1983. Supertramp was started and bankrolled in 1969 by a wealthy Dutch industrialist with aspirations of forming the ulltimate "super rock group."

Over to London this weekend for a concert by 70′s legends Supertramp, recorded by the BBC as part of their Sight and Sound series on November 17, 1977. Forming in 1969, Supertramp quickly rose in popularity and established themselves as one of the most popular of the crossover Art-Rock/mainstream bands. They became a staple on FM and had a string of huge selling singles and albums. Their popularity began to fade in the 1980′s as musical tastes changed with Art-Rock falling out of favor with New Wave. The band eventually went on extended hiatus and reformed later with personnel changes. But there was a time in the mid-seventies where you couldn’t turn on a radio without hearing at least one, if not several Supertramp songs in one sitting; all of which you knew by heart.
