Yes we were

Yes, I’m 110 yrs old and still rockin’ n’ a rollin’ along 😮😆

Very Fortunate

Absolutely! My sister and I saw so many great concerts. I consider myself very lucky to have grown up with such incredible music. Robin Trower was one of the best shows I've ever seen!

The real treat is that it’s also the era of hi fidelity cheap electronics to listen to it !

The most creatively explosive musical decade in American history across ALL genres! The 70's.

Believe me, we do.

right with you brother and even worse they don't care

First heard Trower on King biscuit flower hour 1974. Been a big fan ever since

Yeah, they know. If you hang around with young people, you find out what they actually listen to. It ain't today's music. To be honest, I'm completely mystified at how today's music companies stay in business. What is their income stream? Today's kids wouldn't pay a nickel for it. But they'll listen to the Stones, Led Zep, Rod Stewart, Billy Joel, The Beatles, Journey, Foreigner, Marvin Gaye, Hendrix, Michael Jackson, 60s soul, the Beach Boys, and others, all day long. Today's music companies have completely lost the plot.

You said it all my brother and you said it so well hell yeah

Exactly why his style of playing has been compared to Hendrix.. this was also one of the greatest albums from the 70s

@@Tom-ok2rh one of my favourite albums ever ♥

Listen to Hey Joe by Roy Buchanan,,,❤

@@mikeclaunch3135 I did. I'm totally impressed given that he was playing the guitar and it wasn't banks of effects and techs. He actually reminds me of the Unknown Hinson playing Little Wang.

@@Kevin_747 Yes I have lots of 8 tacks , lots of cassettes too. Records a[so, yes we had the best music eve3r.

38 here. Love this album.

So very true, hard to play bass and sing lead, J. Dewar makes it look so darn easy,,,what a great voice too. I wouldn’t say Trower is “underrated” though, have known about him since Bridge of Sighs album (from older brother’s collection). Saw him a few years back,,,whew! What a trance he had me in, supreme!👌

Possibly the best white blues voice of a generation

Not 'was'...IS

​@@KittyGrizGrizThe only other I can think of is Jack Bruce. He had such a great voice and bass skills.

Who under rates him?

I agree 💯 I saw Robin in 78 at the Boston Music Hall good show

Music and cars

Saw Trower open for Jethro Tull in '76 LA Memorial Collesium. Unforgettable.

and you'll are great parents to the 80's babies and 90's babies

@@mackydog99 nice i'm a 90's baby i grew up old school my parents raised me well on good music i rather listen to the older music than the shit today

Yes we did!!! I’m so grateful that I was there. And still am at 70

sorry for your loss Joe. just know that baby brother is jamming in Heaven rite now smiling down on you.... xoxo

Peace....

God bless you and your Brother's soul, friend.

Sad, but beautiful song to anchor your grief

66 here & even his new live version , that will Stream Nov.4th 2023 Live , from the trailers of it Robin not missed a beat .

Robin Trower has done an amazing job his entire career. @@jimmypope4027

69 here this haunting song of bridge of sighs still gives me the He be ge bee's after listening to this for many years ..f.. k everything else trower rock/blues rock til I die 🎸🎸❤️

I caught Robin in a small venue in Elgin Il in the 1990s and I still have ringing in my ears!

Welcome back to the club. .Peace...66 years Young ...

Agreed!

Dewar just makes this band...missed.

Absolute truth

He reminds me of David Gilmour

@@benpawlett9336 They make every note count

That said Robin could and can play fast

His guitar style was more reflection of the blues. No speed needed, just know how to make the audience feel the music

It’s not bad but this sounds like Hendrix trying to play machine gun after a lobotomy

Agree 💯 I was fortunate to be able to attend this RT tour. One of the best performances. Very talented musical artists in their prime. The memories of this performance is vivid and stays locked in the sands of time forever. Thanks to modern technology helping to revive the moment and to relive the experience.!

No, he had an amazing voice.

Agree. If You haven't done so already, listen to him on his work with "Stone the Crows." Equally amazing.

I loved his bluesy voice!

Genius? Great vocals yes. What's the Genius part?

100 % 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We used to go to pubs, bars, etc or just chilling in the garage & it just seems like the music has faded, going to bars today just isn't the same..

Brilliant musician

Dewar was Robins best vocalist

He didn't have regular pick ups in his strat 🎸

I remember going to a local bar and bartender told us out on what you want put this on. Couple popsters complained he laughed at yhem

Paul rogers

@@paulgriffiths3082 Paul Rogers was another great one. Another in a similar vein to Rogers and Dewar was Kieran White that performed lead vocals for Steamhammer back in the late 60's and early 70's. Loved that band too.

Never got the recognition he deserved.

@@paulgriffiths3082 Agree with both Rogers and Dewar, Gregg Allman and Steve Marriott too.

Monster!!! Horribly overlooked vocalist/bassist!!! One of a kind🙏

yes it's a ONE of A KiND stRiNg BenDeR , and I really don't know , ah I reaLly dont kNOw how alot of media and controll moguls didn't lay on the attaboys , ah credit Robin with what he'd been laying down in the world of great guitar music. Wow what a musician , in all of it's perfect goodness, and what a singers voice this scottsman has applied to the magnificent thrust of a man robins excellence, his mind oF music into the stream of wonder, Robin trowers band, what IS an addition to of one of the greatest singing voices in the history of rock EvEr. Hey I always thought Robin was a singing 😂, James Dewar rip.

May he RIP.

This tour was awesome Robin was playing to big crowds

Sort of reminds me of Johnny Winter. Not exactly, but sort of similar.

Paul Rodgers in his prime was better

​@@donjohn2695only dumb fucks that really don't know music compared artists.

Great stuff.!!! Don't forget to look at Walter Trout.!!!

ha ho.from ohio. trower grabbed all peoples to listen to his sounds. grew up with him. i am 58 and been a fan since 1972 at the age of 10

I'm an old codger too, and as a vocalist, M. Dewar is one of my main influence. Blue eyed soul at its best ! (And I'm half gypsy, so there !)

Keep on Rocking BROTHER YA!

Good for you, Welcome to the show that never ends

I saw Trower in 1976ish with Boston OPENING! Maple Leaf Gardens Concert Bowl so maybe 10,000. Six months later Boston was selling out full sized arenas.

Saw Robin at a bar venue called The Crystal Lake Ballroom in Ellington Connecticut promoting this album. The place sat around 250 people. Full open bar. Got wasted that night. I remember just being blown away by his guitar playing. Incredible show. Stacks of Marshall amps 75 feet away. When the show ended, I remember almost shaking walking back to the car. This video is exactly what it looked like and sounded like. To this day one of the most stunning shows I ever attended. One of the best power trios in history. 🎸✌️🎸

I saw Trower with Montrose and Rush in Philly at the spectrum in 1976 in front of 18,000 + Trower’s Guitar melted this place!

Saw him and many other groups at Winterland in the 70's. Grateful to have grown up in the best era for Rock and Roll. Love Trower, have seen him 4 times. @@user-zi1xb7rj2x

Absolutely right, good comment. I'm VERY fortunate to be the proud owner of Robins 69 black Fender we see him playing here, i have it framed in a beautiful cherry wood/glass shadowbox. I look at it everyday, it's hanging on my wall above my tv. I play it a few times a yr. Best wishes lonestarry !!

What about Reg Isadore's drumming? Incredible control, and I've never heard anyone duplicate those one handed rolls. The real sadness. to me. is that we'll never hear this line-up again. RIP Reg and James. Long live Robin.

Dewar's voice reminds me of Miller Anderson, who sang on Keef Hartley's Halfbreed LP ..

Hendrix

Lonestarry ❤️❤️❤️Your comment!!!! And I 100% agree with you 👍.

I also may be confusing Reg Isadore with Bill Lordon. I have been listening to a compilation album (day of the eagle). As I look closer, Bill Lordon is playing many of the later and live tracks.

Well said.

What a beautiful skill right!

Robin let me play one of his Strats back in 1984 when I opened for him at Brassy's in Cocoa Beach,Florida.The combination of string gauge and action height made it incredibly hard just to do a full step bend.He has extremely strong hands.

Apparently he tuned a tone down!

MrMrwilson11 ohhh yahhhh&in 2015 he still has it , signed my shirt @HouseOBlues Hou. Tx, ps :google Bridge of Sighs?

He was from the 70s

I concur

Beautiful soulful voice.

Probably? Definitely!

Love his voice.

Dang tootin. One singin mother&.

Right! Speed doesn’t equate excellent playing ability!

I think that when you play too fast ..you might lose some of the emotion and feel of a song..just my opinion .lol.

That's the true test.

Thats Real Talent

Went to his concert in San Antonio few years back never missed a lick spot on

Except, live concerts people would get stoned so OF COURSE it was better!

Saw him in the late 1980s. Was still amazing live! The fluid section at around the 4:00 mark shows his excellence (among other parts).

Emil Justian well said!

Close your eyes and you hear Paul Rogers.

James played with The Gleneagles,(1963-1964), The name was changed to: Lulu & the Luvvers,(1964-1965), Sock 'Em JB, (?), The Power, (1968-1968), Stone The Crows,(1968-1971), Jude, (1971- 1972), Robin Trower Band, (1972-1980 & 1983), Jim Dewar Band, (1984), James Dewar solo, (1979-1980). James had a stroke in 1987 which put him out of commission. After James left Robin Trower's band, Robin went out on tour with out a vocalist.

@@hawkesworth1712 I was gonna say he sounds black til I read what you said. You're right. 👍🏿

kit cat Think when he was in Stone the Crows he wasn’t even lead singer ! The magnificent Maggie Bell filling that role . Jimmy Dewar was one of rock music’s most under rated vocalists . Peace on his memory

Well said.

Having a Strat helps :-)

don't forget Stevie Ray Vaughn

You got it Brother Love them too.

@@carolemcfarlane9541 I always thought there was a physical resemblance as well

Watching this video in 2022. Probably going to do it again in the years that follow. Still missing James Dewar.

@@ldolphin34 Agree. Loved his vocals with Stone the Crows too.

same. It was the moment I got stoned for the first time on New Years Eve, I was swimming in the music, will never forget. The opening should be a classic in Rock music, like “smoke on the water”.

74 47.

Would've been awesome in person.

Robin Trower is in no way shape or form “underrated”, what’s with this “term” lingo? Just weird.

@@KittyGrizGriz 'Under rated Vocal tho..🤔

Maybe he is not widely known, but we know he is a great one. Lots of people don't know about the Great Roy Clarke. Both are great, can't be compared to each other. K

Yes Amazing 🤘🤘

@@KittyGrizGriz what the hell are you talking about

His complete album Stumbledown Romancer is on You Tube

This trio *conspicuously* succeeded Cream as the Great Power Trio, right down to a great bass-playing lead vocalist.

Dewar could Dew it !! ..Loved this band when Dewar was doing vocals..I miss him..😎❤☮

Thanks for your love and support❤

dgrichmondbc I saw Trower with Jethro Tull too at Arrowhead Stadium...I believe Rory Gallagher was there along with a fourth act but can’t recall at the moment.

dfrichmondbc I agree! THIS is music and we are unbelievably lucky!!! I got to see Trower at a small venue in downtown St. Louis Mo. called Mississippi nights. It was up close and personal and I could see his fingers on the strings. I will never forget it!

Saw jt in StLouis ... Forgot who opened for them ...

@@tammieparrishmiller3669 been there ...

Amen

tlaxation a million times, yes! See also, Paul Kossoff.

@@trevsmith9773 Ah yes Kossoff was amazing, kudos to Trower as this sounds so exactly like the studio recording.

There's only one kid out there that comes to mind when I think of those being naturally born "with it" and that's James Bell. At 13 years old, he was playing with the feeling and heart of a 62 year old seasoned guitarist, having gone through 3 bad divorces, bankruptcy, his favorite dog dying and his brand new truck impounded. People should check out James. Link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNmKaaRzrbSah3U.html P.S. he also did a Robin Trower cover at 13.

Yup. Shredding is an interesting aberration -- an impressive skil. Melodic playing like Hendrix, Gilmour, Trower, SRV, Kossoff, Martin Barre, and so forth, is what most people really like.

Totally agree. Its about the feeling you are expressing with your fingers and soul.

The Melnibonean / totally agree!

No doubt, he was fantastic..

The Melnibonean schuster lorant

The Melnibonean Great !!!

wow...all of those bands are my life growing up...robert fripp of k.k. alvin lee of tya and robin.....you one lucky mo-fo.

GOD BLESS YOU... ROCK ON

One of the greatest songs .🤘

Hell yeah

Hey Rach...yea still goin...

On my 79 strat hardtail 🇺🇸

Indeed - every note has meaning

Its about the space in between the notes..

I really dont like the guitar gymnastics of some of the "greats" one of the reasons the moody blues music endures. No guitar hype playing needed.

tight technique too, I bet he could shred if He wanted too. very nice, like Clapton and Hendrix smooth and quicker than they look, With beautiful vibrato and sustain. very nice

@@bpaynejr75 Miles Davis quote

I seen Robin Trower about 1983 small venue in Orlando Florida the point-after it was awesome I'm 60 now and still rock out I love Trower Lynyrd Skynyrd love me some great guitar work who do you rock out to?

Stevi ray Vaughn, Edgar winter too, but Robin put me in a trance in agoodway!!!!!!!

Jimi influenced everybody.

he wasnt influenced by hendrix , he was in procol harum around the same time , he made his own way

@@MrKeithwelsh everyone was influenced by Jimi Hendrix everyone

​@@MrKeithwelsh You are either joking or in denial. This whole song screams Hendrix, including or especially the use of the univibe.

I agree....it's haunting.....

Listen to the song "serotonia" by highly suspect, I can hear the influence of this song in the song I have told you about.

Musicians sang, what they saw in that time of their life.. Or just, words for a song? I highly, respect that either way... Classic Music, and vocals......

Not sure if most people know what the Bridge of Sighs is. You can now walk the Bridge of Sighs in Venice as a tourist. It is an enclosed bridge that goes from the back of the royal church at San Marco square to the prison, directly behind the church, over one of the many water ways in Venice. The church, back in the old days, served as the court. If you were found guilty by the church of some crime and sentenced to the gallows (to die), then after sentencing you'd be taken across the bridge, where there is a single opening in the side wall of the enclosed bridge. You were allowed to pause, look out the window across the water for a final look at the outside world, have a moment (to sigh)... and then they'd take you away, forever. The haunting and lonely song is derived perfectly from the real history of the bridge. Still gives me shivers when I think of it now, as I thought of the song when I was on the bridge looking out at the water and town on the coast, looking out at that same view as the many poor souls before me did.

Robert Mayer thanks for the description. One of my favorite songs. Magical.......

Yes.. couldn't agree more, especially on this song.. Haunting almost.. My Mom fell in love with this song.. she actually stole my cassette..

@@Wrongway1965 that's so cool...my parents just shook their heads at me :)

@@madddog6790 That's what my Dad was doing... LOL

So right

VERY CORRECT ,,! IM GLAD THER R PEOPLE GET IT !!

There are album you only can listen with Headphones, That Record Is Exactly A Perfect Album For Headphones

Very underated!

So was Dewar.

Don Scott, I agree. Like RUSH, three guys. It is amazing, given how other bands use all kinds of instruments, and don't come close to the sound and over all experience. I saw RUSH in concert too, but I would have like to see Robin Trower. Really stoned too.

yep ,,,bad as they come

Don Scott years and Robins 4 of them

Good girl Cynthia , you have good taste ✌️👍🎧😎🤘

Thanks for your love and support❤❤❤

Trower changed his style from Procal Harem days because he heard Jimi Hendrix. Trower is a Guitar God. I've met him in 74.Saw him 3xs always a good show.

Well, he had three Gold records. How much more does a man need?

I know many people who consider Trower to be a great guitarist. He is one of my faves. Guitar playing is more than just speed. Trower could make music with feeling which not many guitarists can do.

Didd he originate these ideas? And did they surface again during jimis Rainbow Bridge brief period around 69 70 I'm not sure...

@@matthewtaylor7355 who cares if he originated these ideas? i still dont think even jimi made his strat sound as big and ballsy. doesnt mean they both arent awesome.

Yeah Hendrix copied his ideas around 69 70 during his Rainbow Bridge period. And never had the decency to give Rob the credit in1974...

True. I saw him at Central Park Music Festival in 1972 for a dollar. He was the open for Black Oak Arkansas and Foghat. What a joke that he opened for those losers

Thanks for your love and support❤

Bridge of sighs was one of my first albums when I joined Columbia house record club with the others in "get 10 for 99cents or whatever." I had no idea who he was, bought the record for the cool cover. (hey, I was like 13..😁) this album blew me away, changed not just what, but HOW I listened to music.

@@bradleygilbert1571 Cool that you stumbled onto it. I actually heard it on the radio and said "WHO the fk is THAT?!! I was already an accomplished guitarist and it was very easy to play....but Robin's tone was another story.

@@sandy8499 I went 35 yrs ago. My wife bugs me to this day to go....because it was business and she stayed home. Oh well, back to Italia for me I guess. (wine)

My favorite of this collection is 'In this Place'. It takes me back to that 'place' in time. Shows he can take you away easy or bring you back HARD like 'Little bit of Sympathy'. Both unmatched. Both taking you with them.

Daydream is my favorite but it’s so hard to choose, this is talent!!

Love the CD release with the bonus live tracks... it's a must have!

Peace be with you Eli, glad you’re enjoying Trower✌️

Herbert Brogli idk about MOST underrated but he sure is up there on the list

I cant think of anyone else so unappreciated in comparison to how otherworldly his playing is.

KyRangerMan depends on who you're talking to. I rate him right up there with God (SRV), KWS, Jimi, Terry Kath, Jimmy Olander and all the other greats. This world has seen some awesome guitarists from many genres.

An alltime favorite vocalist. A voice like no other

Its great that haunting music, similar to good blues - is actually like a tonic to the soul. And seeing those 70s bands live ... brings back miles of smiles. Sad that music has declined so much but youtube is cool in that it brings back at least of some of the memories and feelings. And to have folks on here shouting out/commenting on their concert memories in different times and locations - PRICELESS..
