===1996–2002: ''Some Things Never Change'' and ''Slow Motion''===
In 1996 Davies re-formed Supertramp with Helliwell, Siebenberg and guitarist/keyboardist/vocalist [[Mark Hart]], who was new to the official lineup but had prominently contributed to ''Free as a Bird'' and to the group's tours from 1985 to 1988. Their 1985–86 guitarist, Carl Verheyen, returned as well, along with new bassist [[Cliff Hugo]], horn player Lee Thornburg and former [[America (band)|America]] percussionist Tom Walsh (who was replaced for the band's 1997 tour by Bob Siebenberg's son Jesse, who would also go on to contribute guitar, keyboards and vocals), bringing the band up to an eight-man lineup.<ref name="progworld"/> The result of this reunion was ''[[Some Things Never Change]]'', a new studio album released in March 1997 that echoed the earlier Supertramp sound<ref name="progworld"/><ref>{{cite web|last=Thomas |first=Stephen |url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r261083/review|pure_url=yes}} |title=(((Some Things Never Change / Review))) |website=allmusic |date=3 June 1997 |access-date=9 July 2010}}</ref> and reached number 74 in the UK.<ref name="UK chart">[http://www.theofficialcharts.com/artist/_/supertramp/ Supertramp in the UK Charts], The Official Charts.

In the summer of 1997, Supertramp returned to the road, resulting in the live ''[[It Was the Best of Times]]'' (April 1999).<ref>{{Citation |title=It Was the Best of Times - Supertramp {{!}} Album {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/it-was-the-best-of-times-mw0000462991 |access-date=2024-08-06 |language=en}}</ref>

After a three-year hiatus, Supertramp released in April 2002 a new studio album entitled ''[[Slow Motion (Supertramp album)|Slow Motion]]'',<ref>{{Citation |title=Slow Motion - Supertramp {{!}} Album {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/slow-motion-mw0000525419 |access-date=2024-08-06 |language=en}}</ref> followed by a 2002 world tour entitled "One More for the Road Tour".

Supertramp continued to play several Hodgson-penned songs during live shows following their reunion. Hodgson subsequently claimed that when he had left the band back in 1983, he and Davies made a verbal agreement that they would not play those songs.<ref name="ThomInt"/> Davies has never publicly alluded to such an agreement, and former member Dougie Thomson (who retired from performing to move into music publishing) commented "Nobody except Rick and Roger were privy to that conversation. Rick and Roger had several dialogues that no one else was privy to. Again, that's hearsay."<ref name="ThomInt"/> The publishing company and contract legally recognize which songs each songwriter actually wrote. Hodgson has contractual approval rights over the use of his songs and Davies for his.<ref name="VintageVinyl">{{cite web|title=Roger Hodgson's Management Clarifies Agreement and Song List|url=http://www.vintagevinylnews.com/2010/05/roger-hodgsons-management-clarifies.html|website=vintagevinylnews.com|access-date=31 March 2015}}</ref>
