Star rating: **** When I was a lad, there were certain album covers it was cool to be seen carrying about at school. Strange as it may seem now, Supertramp's Crime of the Century was one of them. The vocalist and principle songwriter of that band was Roger Hodgson and by his own reckoning, it had been nearly 30 years since he had been in Glasgow. He professed to "not knowing whether anyone would remember him". He needn't have worried.

Having stolen the show at the Diana concert and with a song in the latest Ben Stiller movie, there were generations of fans present to witness an outstanding performance by a man who has forgotten more good tunes than many of today's hip young popsters will ever learn.

Opening with Take the Long Way Home, Hodgson covered his entire career in a solo performance which including just one new song, Oh Brother, taken from his concert DVD. Very much in the Supertramp style, it fitted nicely with the classic songs which this audience had come to hear, such as Sister Moonshine, It's Raining Again and the excellent Dreamer.

The stripped-down arrangements revealed just how good these songs were to start with, despite a disappointing sound mix which robbed the 12-string of much of its impact and, unforgivably, muddied the vocals.

However, that distinctive electric piano sound and Hodgson's obvious enjoyment more than made up for it. He was aided and abetted by multi-instrumentalist Canadian Erin MacDonald, whose contributions on sax, in particular, were terrific, although he also provided backing vocals, piano and memorably, whoopee whistle.

The best song of the night was School from Crime of the Century. How apt.
