It was an intimate show in an intimate setting.
And Roger Hodgson had each and every one of the nearly 2,000 in attendance at Prospera Place eating from the palm of his hand.
From the opening note of Take The Long Way Home to the closing bars of It's Raining Again, the crowd was into every lyric and every song.
The former Supertramp front man played in the more intimate half bowl Sunday night.
And, while the palm trees lit in green in the background looked more like the backdrop for a Jimmy Buffet concert, the setting couldn't have been more perfect.
The focus was on the music and the talents of Hodgson and his band, not the staging. There was no video screen to distract the audience.
Just the 66-year-old Hodgson and his unique voice evoking memories of the 1970s and '80s, when Supertramp and their music stood atop the music world.
Ever the showman, he changed a few lines of Along Came Mary to Along Came Tim, in honour of, what he called, "the strange Canadian phenomenon known as Tim Hortons."
Hodgson bounced around from keyboards to piano to guitar throughout the night but, instrumentally, it was his horn section, Ontario-born Aaron MacDonald, who stole that show. MacDonald earned a loud ovation when he was introduced.
But, it was the Supertramp sound, Breakfast In America, Logical Song, Dreamer, Child of Vision and the mega-hit Give A Little Bit that had the crowd up dancing and singing along.
Hodgson intimated he may make another stop in Kelowna next year.
The answer was a resounding yes from the audience.
