''It Was the Best of Times'' is the third live album by progressive rock band Supertramp, released in April 1999. The album title makes use of the opening line from ''A Tale Of Two Cities'' by Charles Dickens. == Overview == ''It Was the Best of Times'' was recorded in September 1997 at the Royal Albert Hall, London, UK during the "It's About Time" tour (set up in support of the ''Some Things Never Change'' studio album). The band includes vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Mark Hart performing songs originally sung by Roger Hodgson. Supertramp are also augmented by additional players added for this album and tour which later would also took part in the recording of ''Slow Motion'', the follow-up studio album released in 2002. The 2-CD version features the song "Don't You Lie To Me", a blues song that the band had performed on their 1988 tour and the only song not written by a current or former band member. The Simple CD version was later re-released in 2006 under the name of "Live, 1997". ==Reception== Reviewing the double CD edition, Allmusic wrote that in comparison to the single CD version, "...this two-CD set packs on eight further selections from Supertramp's career to that point, still eschewing their first two LPs, without really adding anything to the portrait painted by the slimmer edition."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「It Was the Best of Times」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
