Roger Hodgson's Control of YouTube

It's starting to piss me off. Every time I search for a Supertramp video on YouTube, all I can find is Roger Hodgson's solo shit. The guy seems to have completely gotten all Supertramp videos censored off the site and replaced with his own shit.

Now, I'll admit that Hodgson was the voice of Supertramp in their glory years, but he's sixty-five fucking years old now and his vocal cords are toast. I want to hear the 22-year old Hodgson vocal cords, not his current attempts to milk it for a few more dollars with vocal cords that wouldn't flatter Boxcar Willy.

f*ck Hodgson. I used to admire him so much. Now I just want to beat his geriatric face in with a fucking crowbar.

Does anybody know where I can watch real 1972 and 1974 Supertramp videos?

Who ever has video of super tramp from the '70s which would be mostly concert footage because they were not Elvis or the Beatles. Is not sharing because there is no perceived benefit to doing so. If they knew they could make a few dollars they might.

When Rodger dies someone will find his scratchy super 8 films and possibly get someone to digitally remaster them into something. Might be difficult to sync up any convincing audio. They probably have little resemblance to the studio tracks or even live recordings on vinyl.

Oh come on 0.1 dollar, all bands from the 70s have pretty cool stuff on the tube. And supertramp was huge until the mid 80s, they definitely have some legit videos with studio recording. I perfectly remember being a kid in the mid 80s and all the advertising that was done for the release of their new album... One where you could see shadows of ape to man evolution in flashy colours with a white background.. (Now wondering if it was a real album or just a best of)
