Live '88 (Supertramp album)


Live '88 is the second live album by the English rock band Supertramp released in October 1988 on A&M Records.

Overview

Originally recorded on two track cassette direct from the sound board for Rick Davies' use, Live '88 features the 4 piece lineup of the group augmented by additional players including Mark Hart playing guitar and singing songs originally sung by Roger Hodgson. Live '88 was initially not intended for a commercial release, but Davies was so pleased with the vibe of the performances he authorized A&M to put it out.
Live '88 was only available in print very briefly. The album features two cover songs, "Hoochie Coochie Man" by Willie Dixon and "Don't You Lie To Me ". The rest of the album consists of performances from the band's last set list to promote Free as a Bird, along with a handful of numbers from throughout their career.
The band went on hiatus shortly after this album's release. Live '88 has not returned to print, unlike most of the Supertramp discography, and there are no songs from this release represented on the release.
