Not in the rock and roll hall of fame and not in the one hundred greatest guitarists of all time...absolute blasphemy!! You're my favorite guitarist of all time!! Thanks for a lifetime of great memories and music... God bless
He's great. He has the same problem that larry holmes does. Lives in the shadow of mohammad ali. Trower lives of the great jimi hendrix. It's not fair to either one of them , but that's all it will ever be .Trowers probably better guitars, but doesn't have Jimi's genius mind.
Been listening to Trower for over forty years he’s in my opinion THE most underrated guitarist in history. Never a big singles guy probably had something to do with it. My little brother who grew up in the 80s 90s went to see him in the UK few years ago on my recommendation having never heard him before. He said after he just burst into tears during the gig it was THAT GOOD. He’s now one of Robin’s biggest fans 🤣 has everything .
My all time favorite, could not agree more, James was shamefully underrated too, might as well include Bill also, jammed and auditioned with Hendrix, that says a lot, so fortunate to have met Robin, let's appreciate him while he is still performing...
70 yrs 3 months young. Discovered the great Robin Trower the summer of 1973. Today, 10-3-2024 another great guitarist, Stevie Ray Vaughan would turned 70. Rip Mr. Vaughan.
Most definitely underrated, how about the lead singer I didn't keep up on Trower like I should have but if this is the original vocalist and I think it is, Shit he's underrated Too!!!
@@jeffh5664 Dewar had a voice that was so unique: we knew it was him at the first note. I read some interesting back stories of other groups he was with before Trower. I was able to see Trower, Bad Company and Foghat at the Greensboro Coliseum for $ 7.00 back in the day. Before promoter greed set in. A voice truly missed.Great post, Jerry!
He's My Favorite. I Love That He Has No Time Limit on Any of His Songs. They Allllll Last 10Minutes Or More. He Jams On Alllllll Of Them. Very Underated
@@brucecaldwell6701 I respectfully disagree. James Dewar had a growl to his vocals which spilled pure 100% blues. 'Love's Gonna Bring You Around' is a prime example.
At 16 years old now 68i always love his music 🎶 and party at 16 listen to the video live 😊 give me very happy happy memories and his guitar sung hard rock
Robin Trower's career is more than four decades long. Already in the early sixties he was considered one of the most virtuoso guitarists of the then flourishing London club scene. He achieved worldwide success a little later with Procol Harum. But it was only after Trower left Procol Harum in 1972 and performed under his own name that his bluesy-psychedelic playing became an unmistakable trademark. He was sometimes dubbed "the white Hendrix" - which he didn't care about from the heart. In the last three decades he recorded numerous albums, was on tour almost non-stop and also managed to write and produce various film music. The guitar brand Fender honored Trower by launching a Trower Signature model for the 50th anniversary of the Stratocaster.
I remember one night back in 1985 in Fort Wayne Indiana I saw Robin in a hotel bar room..I was just driving thru town and I saw a sign in front of this hotel that said Robin Trower tonight at 8pm..I couldn't believe it... I looked at my clock in my Vega and it read 7:30pm...I turned my Vega around and went in to the hotel bar grabbed a cold one and sat down and began to be blown away...I was 24 years old and had been playing the guitar since I was 11..it was a night I will never forget...Robin was really on that night...🎸🎸🎸
@@CaptainRon1913 yeah if I remember correctly Robin and the band came out and went right into like an 12 minute version of Bridge of sighs..it's was just mesmerizing...🎸🎸🎸
My introduction was in ‘75 I bought Robin Trower live, recorded in Sweden by the Swedish broadcasting Corp, blew me a2ay, still does, blues rock at its finest, Dewar had a great voice too. This record inspired me to play guitar…still do, every day , jam band does too rollin stoned….
I still remember the day the "Bridge Of Sighs" album came out in 1974 and with good friends, all toked up, sitting around in our bean bag chairs and listening to some new music on our Kenwood Quadraphonic Stereo with 4 huge Infinity speakers in the 4 corners of the living room. It's still so easy to remember, even now, how the unbelievably righteous sounds went round and round at a very loud volume and seriously blew everybody's minds! I've always thought that the original studio version of the "Bridge of Sighs" track should've been theme music for the 1st Conan movie. It's fantastic to still be able to see, and hear, a major rock band originally from the 70s that's not an embarrassment to their former selves. I mean, really...so many of those long-time, 3 or 4 hits bands with most still living members now having ridiculous looking overly long hair, all tatted up, wearing bi-focals, with skinny chicken legs, no ass, and a big fat belly! Sad... The desperation of some of those dudes to still feel relevant or to maybe just get a paycheck from having lived a life without acquiring some kind of marketable job skills along the way or making bad financial decisions over the years, etc., etc., etc., it's really kinda sad, in a way!
BillyJoe JimBob I remember those days...was in another world listening to Bridge Of Sighs... have seen Trower live several times...all in smaller settings...love his soulful playing... and as in Robins case it never leaves you...
BJJB - I still remember the first time I heard Bridge of Sighs on my parents Marantz stereo in 1974. I was in 10th grade in New Jersey, and I went out and got the album that day. I've seen him many times since then, in places as big as Shea Stadium and as small as the Roxy. One of the greats, and unfairly compared to Hendrix.
@BillyJoe JimBob, Tommy Bolin, Jeff Beck, and Eric Clapton and so many more. I was in a similar situation when a friend played this album. The 70's were a great time. S.F. Ca. Bay Area Winterland was a great place for all the latest groups. I was lucky to have seen most. I really liked Ten Years After. Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton then. Seen Jeff Beck a year ago flawless performance.
@@oceanwatchesclaudejolly1742 Clapton only did commercial music. Trower found his niche because he stayed true to his own taste. less fame, less money. but probably still good enough to be settled for life.
Seen Robin 9 times, 3 in Seattle (Ballard Firehouse) once in Chicago and 3 times in Portland Oregon. On the 8th day, God created Robin Trower! Long live Trower! He's definitely up there in the History of Rock Guitar Book, in between Hendrix and heavy blues music!
@@Melvinsfreak Moin, ich war auch schon immer fasziniert von seinem Spiel. Der Sound ist so abgefahren und spacy, fast hypnotisch, kann man immer hören. Mittlerweile ist er auch schon ein älterer Herr, ich kannte ihn schon mit langer Mähne.....Die Zeit vergeht, aber seine Musik hat nichts von ihrer Kraft verloren und er wird auch in die Geschichte eingehen wie Stevie Ray oder Jimi um bei Stratocasterspielern zu bleiben. Und seine Musik bleibt hängen, von so Supershreddern wie Petrucci wird man mit 100 Noten pro Sekunde zugeballert und man behält eigentlich nix. Ich empfehle auch absolut David Gilmore, der so unfassbar geile Sachen gespielt hat bei Pink Floyd. Mehr Klasse als Masse. Wer mir von der Supershreddern auch immer schon gut gefallen hat, auch wegen dem Stratsound ist Yngwie Malmsteen. Dieses neoklassische Zeug bleibt irgendwie hängen und unfassbar auf einer Singlecoil Stratocaster gespielt, während die Kollegen alle mit SuperDuper Atomic Humbuckern kommen....hahahahah
@@thorstenriedel3152 Moin! Ja, volle Zustimmung. Außer, was Malmsteen angeht, sorry. Der ist zweifellos ein brillanter Gitarrist, aber mir einfach too much.😄 Da gehts mir wie dir bei Petrucci, ich fühl nix. Ich bin auch schon seit Ewigkeiten Robin-Fan und kann total nachvollziehen, was du mit hypnotisch meinst. Geht mir bei Neil Young auch immer so, wenn der live ausgedehnt improvisiert. Kopfhörer auf, Volume aufdrehen - abheben! Einer meiner absoluten Strat-Helden is natürlich auch Rory Gallagher und was "Tone" angeht Leslie West (RIP). Ansonsten find ich Paul Kossoff und Billy Gibbons geil. Der ZZ Top Gig damals im Rockpalast..unvergesslich. Du spielst offensichtlich selbst?🤔Ich hab mir nämlich kürzlich bei Thomann ein Einsteiger Set gekauft. Mit ner Harley Benton Strat, Amp, Stimmgerät etc. Muss mich mal langsam aufraffen und üben😂 Hab bloß Bedenken, weil ich Linkshänder bin😅

Gimme old school every time. Pay attention kiddies , this is the way it done. I saw Robin in 73 or 74 in Knoxville, TN. Doing Orange Sunshine. I thank God I made it this far. 🙏
Saw him in the 70's or 80's or both in Germany. No Sunshine...just good hash brownies! Which I think was a better choice. I liked Yes or Todd Rundgren with Sunshine. I like this...drug and music pairing! Throw out the wine!
JD! I saw RT back in the late 70's w/ James. The venue was very small. I remember the seats were padded and we literally melted into the music. Especially in those long slow riff's like Spellbound and Bridge of Sighs. Riff's that simply take you away. Kids today have no idea what real music is.
Your said in comments missing you JD IS THAT JAMES DEWAR ???? SAY HIS NAME HE WAS SO UNDERRATED SHIT HE WAS THE MAN DUDE SHIT PRAISES TO MR JAMMIN JAMES DEWAR GREAT SINGERSONGWRITER AND BASSIST
James was ALSO such a fabulous SINGER beautiful voice a widely vocal point he could push for POWER in a song than like daydream mellow beautiful tone of MR DEWARS Voice so so many more i really like the hidden vocals OF to me WAS a B I G. surprise to hear Robin trower singing ROBINS VOICE KILLER GREAT SOUND HIS VOCALS SEEM TO FIT THE SONGS SO WELL DON'T YOU RT FANS AGREE ???? COME ON MAN WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE SINGER MR ROCKIN ROBINS HAD ????
Hello darling 🥰❤️😘.........it’s rodin trower Thank you for your support that you show towards my career aspirations I read the beautiful comments you always write about me Thanks🥰🥰 That's really sweet coming from you and I will love to get to know you, God has a reason for all purpose. so welcome Anyway
He's not Dewar, but, ya know what.he's damn good. And Robin. Rocking through the decades, to find us still here, and loving every minute...Bridge of Sighs, my favorite collection of guitar work ever.
INCREDIBLY WELL PLAYED THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS.. WITNESSED ROBIN TROWER ON MANY OCCASIONS BEGINNING WAY BACK IN 1974 LAST TIME SEEN IN PERSON IN 19 83... FAVORED ALBUMS ARE.. TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY, BRIDGE OF SIGHS, IN A LITTLE TREASURE CALLED IN CITY DREAMS... TROWERS INSTRUMENTAL GUITARS SOUND STRAIGHT OUT OF THE MID-60S .. MET WITH ROBIN TROWER AND WORKED WITH HIM FOR TWO YEARS DURING THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS TOURS IN THE US... MOST LISTENED-TO BRIDGE OF SIGHS THE SONG FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.. AND BEFORE THEY KNEW WHO IT WAS PLAYING.. THEY WOULD SWEAR IT WAS A HENDRIX CREATION., ROBIN WAS AND IS FAIRLY UNIQUE IN SO MANY WAYS.. DURING THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES HE WOULD ALWAYS PLAY INDOORS TOO SMALL INTIMATE CROWDS WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS. AND ALWAYS MADE THE OCCASION A GRAND PARTY OF EXPERIENCED MIND IN BENDERS..
The legend guitarrist Robin trower one more underrated blues man of the world and the vocalist davey pattison amazing god bless you congratulations from spain
Robin's a Master Guitarist, possibly the best Stratocaster tone ever, and his phrasing and control is unparalleled. Saw him Live twice, with Jack Bruce and Gary Husband, and with his own band. Brilliant on both occasions. Literally made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up first solo he hit. Davy Pattison's a perfect fit for these songs. R.I.P James Dewar. 🎸🎶🎵👌
@Maxine McKenzie, I have been fortunate enough to have seen him perhaps 6 times incl the show he did with JB, mostly superb, and, barring my late fathers' illness whenever he was touring nearby, it would have been at least another 2 perhaps 3 and of course C19 for his Nov show last year here in London. I loved James' vocals but also really liked Davey's as well: a huge disappointment for me is that Robin seems to ignore the catalogue of songs that Davey did in the late 80's and early 90's which have some of my favourites and that they didn't tour the UK during that time afaik. I just LOVE RT's solos, for me they take me on a journey, they are not just a random collection of notes. A true musician.
I loved Trower since my teen years. the 70's and long after those days, trusty Trower followers would always talk now and then about him, and the main word on the street was.." why don't more people know about Robin Trower man?, he is extraordinary." / Opportunities in Portland Or, I never missed one of his shows back in the 90's particularly when I was living there, and always a rare experience to see him play along with the somewhat small Venues he did, made it all the better. And he ain't lost a 'lick'
Introduce my son-in-law to Robin Trower he never heard of him and I almost forgot how great he was. I "think" I saw him. Saw so much talent in late 60s 70s. Too bad I took it for granted.
Whew.....just hits me where I live. Listening intently, Robin never seems to hit a wrong note or miss the beat, ever. The fucker is what?, over 70? Insane...and Davey could sing the fucking phone book and it would make you fall in love with him. Props to the backup boys, of course too. Thank you for posting this...it's wonderful.
This was recorded 2005 when Davey was about 60 and on Robin's 60th birthday. I saw them maybe 10 weeks later at a heavingly packed small venue in London, finished the set with Daydream: I SWEAR I had an orgasm with a surge of endorphins at the end of the tune, SEN SA TIONAL in every sense of the word.
@@winnerkatt Friend, please would you be so kind as to pass on to Davey my very best wishes and thanks for the countess hours of pleasure his singing of the tunes whilst in Robin's sphere has brought me. I have always been disappointed that Robin doesn't seem to have shown due recognition of the brilliant talent of Davey in that a vast majority of the songs he was compelled to perform live were from a previous era. I met some of Davey's relatives at a gig here in England, can't quite recall where, and said as much to them. With thanks in advance, Tony👍👍👍
I'm 67 and remember him from my youth, still the baddest guitar 🎸 player ever. Many have tried that Strat but none mastered it. Blessings to him and may he stay strong 🙏❤❤❤
@@beatrizward9878 Just as a note, he tunes down a whole step and uses heavy gauge stings with a fairly high action. I'd like to know exactly what gage strings, but it's really just a curiosity.
I saw this master Robin Trowerin the 70's and early 80's in Chicago. The best show you want to see! 50 years later he's still got the magic touch! Love you Robin Trower!
Jim Dewars left one Hell of a void, and divine provenance must have connected Davey and Robin,because Davey does such a great job of keeping the legend rolling! ❤
I just had a flashback to the 80s. This is exactly what I saw at the Old Waldorf San Francisco. We were up close to Robin.Saw Robin at the Oakland Coliseum DOG. The guitar notes reverberating at the Coliseum. Awesome. Unforgettable experience. 😊❤ I was about to by Robin's DVD but found this here. Thanks for sharing.
I saw Robin at the Aragon ballroom in Chicago back in 75 76 and 77 those were great shows back when bridge of sighs first came out we couldn't get enough of robin..back then ....and in 90 and 91 I saw him at the Park West in Chicago probably the best place to see Robin of all the big arena style concert Halls every seat was a good seat at the Park West.... those were great shows back then and he's still great today!!!
WHAT a career this man has had...ive loved him since Procol Harum, in 68- a little before my time but i caught up quickly, and up to THIS remarkable performance and beyond. James Dewar was ALWAYS a BIG part of the appeal to me... among THE most soulful white singers in the history of rock music- right up there with Paul Rodgers, Steve Marriott, Greg Allman. ..and there are some others im forgetting i know... Greg Ridley was right up there too...AND he played bass excellent as well. and its HARD to play bass and sing. I've done it. Quite the compliment to Davey here that HE sounds EXACTLY like Mr.Dewar.. but its a compliment to James that Robin had to find an EXCELLENT bassist to take up the slack...James did TWO jobs and KILLED it for so many years. both men here are doing a FINE job.,I LOVE it...even the songs i hadnt heard before. I lost track after 'Long Misty Days' and 'In City Dreams' ' 'Please Tell Me' is as good as ANY of the old classics... I hope Robin is STILL playing somewhere....he would be close to 80 now i suppose. It is a great testament to HIS strength and integrity to continue in the world of rock music for 40 or 50 years....as SO many of his contemporaries have passed along the journey. Caught up in the traps of stardom....Robin somehow managed to avoid.... Good for HIM and God Bless-
Ed, Robin is 75, he's still playing, I saw him a couple of years ago in St. Paul MN, and he was on top of his game. He was hitting chords that I've never heard before. My buddy and I would look at each other and laugh in pleasant disbelief. I'm 65 and thought I've heard it all. No....but now I have. 🎸🎸🎸
@@saginawdan awesome...i saw them a couple times in the seventies and early 80s...and id definitely go see him again if i get the chance...he is playing some different stuff here on two rolling stoned, at the end on the slow part...ive listened to this one ten times over the last couple months...its great
Every time I watch these Rockpalast vids, I get goosebumps. You can keep your digitally corrected lip syncing wanna-be’s, I’ll stand in line for road warriors like Robin Trower and Davey Pattison. Old guys rule!
I agree. He’s just so slick and bluesy with his riffs. Just kind of grabs you by the cahonas if you know what I mean. I like a lot of rock legends but in my opinion he’s probably the best not taking away anything from the other greats just that I really dig Robin’s style.
READING THE COMMENTS, ITS NICE TOO KNOW THIS GREAT MAN IS STILL APRECIATED,HE CERTAINLY HAS PASSED THE TEST OF TIME,HIS STRAT HAS BEEN PLUGGED STRAIT INTO HIS SOLE FOR ALMOST 50 YRS. LOL
In 2022, this deserves more views. This is June and it's it's very 🔥 hot in Chicago. I saw Robin Trower back in the 70's and 80's about 3 or 4 times. No guitar player matches him, every concert was great! Now it's 2022 and I still like listening 🎶 to his music.
Not in the rock and roll hall of fame and not in the one hundred greatest guitarists of all time...absolute blasphemy!!
You're my favorite guitarist of all time!!
Thanks for a lifetime of great memories and music... God bless
TOTALLY agree. To be named by me as 'The Master' may not mean much to others but TO ME it says it all.
yeah, and Madonna is. that s in itself is a slap to all of us ROCKERS and to those that bled over their guitars
He's great.
He has the same problem that larry holmes does.
Lives in the shadow of mohammad ali.
Trower lives of the great jimi hendrix.
It's not fair to either one of them , but that's all it will ever be .Trowers probably better guitars, but doesn't have Jimi's genius mind.
You said the truth, the truth, the truth
@@forearthbelow the great Grandmaster, his royal highness himself, Mr. Robin Power Trower
Davey Pattinson rocks too! Bam!!
Been listening to Trower for over forty years he’s in my opinion THE most underrated guitarist in history.
Never a big singles guy probably had something to do with it. My little brother who grew up in the 80s 90s went to see him in the UK few years ago on my recommendation having never heard him before.
He said after he just burst into tears during the gig it was THAT GOOD. He’s now one of Robin’s biggest fans 🤣 has everything .
I was just telling my kids, “This is the music I was raised on!”
Me to telling my kids . Good music
Today's music doesn't even come close to this.Glad I grew up in the late 70s and early 80s
I've been listening too since I was 18 I'm 62 his birthday same as mine march 9th
One of the criminally underrated guitarists.
My all time favorite, could not agree more, James was shamefully underrated too, might as well include Bill also, jammed and auditioned with Hendrix, that says a lot, so fortunate to have met Robin, let's appreciate him while he is still performing...
I know, right?
Not by me
Oh we all knew. DJ's may not have, but we did.
Agreed. Absolutely one of the best.
I'm 61, been into him forever. Only 3 words I can come up with..."Thank You Robin".
I’m 58 drank in a beer and jammin on his music. In the middle of the hood! Holding the line by a thread.

Ja, volle Zustimmung. Außer, was Malmsteen angeht, sorry. Der ist zweifellos ein brillanter Gitarrist, aber mir einfach too much.😄 Da gehts mir wie dir bei Petrucci, ich fühl nix.
Ich bin auch schon seit Ewigkeiten Robin-Fan und kann total nachvollziehen, was du mit hypnotisch meinst. Geht mir bei Neil Young auch immer so, wenn der live ausgedehnt improvisiert. Kopfhörer auf, Volume aufdrehen - abheben!
Einer meiner absoluten Strat-Helden is natürlich auch Rory Gallagher und was "Tone" angeht Leslie West (RIP). Ansonsten find ich Paul Kossoff und Billy Gibbons geil. Der ZZ Top Gig damals im Rockpalast..unvergesslich.
Du spielst offensichtlich selbst?🤔Ich hab mir nämlich kürzlich bei Thomann ein Einsteiger Set gekauft.
Mit ner Harley Benton Strat, Amp, Stimmgerät etc. Muss mich mal langsam aufraffen und üben😂
Hab bloß Bedenken, weil ich Linkshänder bin😅

Robin Trower...Last Man Standing...
Gimme old school every time.
Pay attention kiddies , this is the way it done. I saw Robin in 73 or 74 in Knoxville, TN. Doing Orange Sunshine.
I thank God I made it this far. 🙏
that Orange was pretty good back then huh ? I'm 66 now and ate enough of it in those years to float a battleship :-)) Cheers from Alabama
@@porkbelly0713 It's amazing we are still kickin. ✌
Saw him in the 70's or 80's or both in Germany. No Sunshine...just good hash brownies! Which I think was a better choice. I liked Yes or Todd Rundgren with Sunshine. I like this...drug and music pairing! Throw out the wine!
Lol saw him on four way window pain in the 70’s 61 and still listen to him a couple times a month. Don’t own anything but albums!
That means you heard James Dewar.....he was the heart of the band!
Davey and Robin. Reminds me of the old days. Missing you JD.!
JD! I saw RT back in the late 70's w/ James. The venue was very small. I remember the seats were padded and we literally melted into the music. Especially in those long slow riff's like Spellbound and Bridge of Sighs. Riff's that simply take you away. Kids today have no idea what real music is.
@@jackiestahl7827 Heavenly!
Your said in comments missing you JD IS THAT JAMES DEWAR ???? SAY HIS NAME HE WAS SO UNDERRATED SHIT HE WAS THE MAN DUDE SHIT PRAISES TO MR JAMMIN JAMES DEWAR GREAT SINGERSONGWRITER AND BASSIST

Thank you for your support that you show towards my career aspirations
I read the beautiful comments you always write about me
Thanks🥰🥰
That's really sweet coming from you and I will love to get to know you, God has a reason for all purpose.
so welcome Anyway
Das ist ein ganz grosser leìder kennt man ihn kaum LEIDER. Für mich unter die Top fünf.
He's not Dewar, but, ya know what.he's damn good. And Robin. Rocking through the decades, to find us still here, and loving every minute...Bridge of Sighs, my favorite collection of guitar work ever.
Kudos to that . Mr. Dewar is a great great great unsung for the ages . His unique and timeless voice touched me forever.
Trower is at his best here. I didn't think he could caress more emotion into that guitar. Just timeless man.
yes!!
I have seen him perform at bristol, CT exxexx,!!!!!!!
German TV is always the best for rock performances. The camera work features the musicians, not the audience! Anyway, a brilliant performance.
Hallo Chris - Daumen hoch

Theres no 1 better miss his music every day of my life iam 75 yere old
Robin just gets better as the years go by
Trower is a legend and deserves hall of fame status.
LOL - not a chance , the pin heads who vote have no idea who he is . Great rockers like this are overlooked for rappers .
@@terryp9484 you are right music Is in the dumps. There are only a handful of artist now who even know what real talent is.
@@dennishinkle5010 I'm sorry to say , music as we knew it is gone . Hell , when I was a kid All Right now was on everybody's radio .
He is a wonderful Guitarist and the band is a perfect match. There is no singer whose voice compliments the music as well as this lineup!
I think a S.R.V. / Robin Trower 🎸 concert would have been AWESOME 😎
Always did love thisguys style an his sound. Thumbs up on this before I even watched it.
Straightforward blues with total feel and tone!
We are old school, I share with my kids and they love it
robin trower youre improving all the time fantastic
PERFECT. CAN'T SAY ANYMORE.
here up in the north of Sweden we have always love Robin Trower!🙏
Bless you from Pittsburgh, PA Love Trower !
Cheers from Birmingham AL ..................... put another log on that fire bro
Trower fan since the Bridge of Sighs days, hello to all from Vancouver BC!
Always loved Robin Trower from Pottstown, PA💜
INCREDIBLY WELL PLAYED THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS.. WITNESSED ROBIN TROWER ON MANY OCCASIONS BEGINNING WAY BACK IN 1974 LAST TIME SEEN IN PERSON IN 19 83... FAVORED ALBUMS ARE.. TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY, BRIDGE OF SIGHS, IN A LITTLE TREASURE CALLED IN CITY DREAMS... TROWERS INSTRUMENTAL GUITARS SOUND STRAIGHT OUT OF THE MID-60S .. MET WITH ROBIN TROWER AND WORKED WITH HIM FOR TWO YEARS DURING THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS TOURS IN THE US... MOST LISTENED-TO BRIDGE OF SIGHS THE SONG FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME.. AND BEFORE THEY KNEW WHO IT WAS PLAYING.. THEY WOULD SWEAR IT WAS A HENDRIX CREATION., ROBIN WAS AND IS FAIRLY UNIQUE IN SO MANY WAYS.. DURING THE BRIDGE OF SIGHS TOUR IN THE UNITED STATES HE WOULD ALWAYS PLAY INDOORS TOO SMALL INTIMATE CROWDS WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS. AND ALWAYS MADE THE OCCASION A GRAND PARTY OF EXPERIENCED MIND IN BENDERS..
Wow! That guitar tone!!
The legend guitarrist Robin trower one more underrated blues man of the world and the vocalist davey pattison amazing god bless you congratulations from spain
That's not blues
Robin's a Master Guitarist, possibly the best Stratocaster tone ever, and his phrasing and control is unparalleled. Saw him Live twice, with Jack Bruce and Gary Husband, and with his own band. Brilliant on both occasions. Literally made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up first solo he hit. Davy Pattison's a perfect fit for these songs. R.I.P James Dewar. 🎸🎶🎵👌
@Maxine McKenzie, I have been fortunate enough to have seen him perhaps 6 times incl the show he did with JB, mostly superb, and, barring my late fathers' illness whenever he was touring nearby, it would have been at least another 2 perhaps 3 and of course C19 for his Nov show last year here in London. I loved James' vocals but also really liked Davey's as well: a huge disappointment for me is that Robin seems to ignore the catalogue of songs that Davey did in the late 80's and early 90's which have some of my favourites and that they didn't tour the UK during that time afaik. I just LOVE RT's solos, for me they take me on a journey, they are not just a random collection of notes. A true musician.
Yep , his tone is simply Majestic & very controlled @ that ! ...
I loved Trower since my teen years. the 70's and long after those days, trusty Trower followers would always talk now and then about him, and the main word on the street was.." why don't more people know about Robin Trower man?, he is extraordinary." / Opportunities in Portland Or, I never missed one of his shows back in the 90's particularly when I was living there, and always a rare experience to see him play along with the somewhat small Venues he did, made it all the better. And he ain't lost a 'lick'
Introduce my son-in-law to Robin Trower he never heard of him and I almost forgot how great he was. I "think" I saw him. Saw so much talent in late 60s 70s. Too bad I took it for granted.
Whew.....just hits me where I live. Listening intently, Robin never seems to hit a wrong note or miss the beat, ever. The fucker is what?, over 70? Insane...and Davey could sing the fucking phone book and it would make you fall in love with him. Props to the backup boys, of course too. Thank you for posting this...it's wonderful.
This was recorded 2005 when Davey was about 60 and on Robin's 60th birthday. I saw them maybe 10 weeks later at a heavingly packed small venue in London, finished the set with Daydream: I SWEAR I had an orgasm with a surge of endorphins at the end of the tune, SEN SA TIONAL in every sense of the word.
Davey Pattinson is one cool, classy, humble, guy too. I talk to him some times. Always great talking to him.
@@winnerkatt Friend, please would you be so kind as to pass on to Davey my very best wishes and thanks for the countess hours of pleasure his singing of the tunes whilst in Robin's sphere has brought me. I have always been disappointed that Robin doesn't seem to have shown due recognition of the brilliant talent of Davey in that a vast majority of the songs he was compelled to perform live were from a previous era. I met some of Davey's relatives at a gig here in England, can't quite recall where, and said as much to them. With thanks in advance, Tony👍👍👍
I'm 67 and remember him from my youth, still the baddest guitar 🎸 player ever. Many have tried that Strat but none mastered it. Blessings to him and may he stay strong 🙏❤❤❤
@@beatrizward9878
Just as a note, he tunes down a whole step and uses heavy gauge stings with a fairly high action. I'd like to know exactly what gage strings, but it's really just a curiosity.
I saw this master Robin Trowerin the 70's and early 80's in Chicago. The best show you want to see! 50 years later he's still got the magic touch! Love you Robin Trower!
Robin Trower has always been top shelf, even with Procal Harem 🦨💪
Okay, Davey Pattison is so dialed in on the Robin Trower sound! Robin feeds off it. This set is pure time travel back to the 70’s.
My favorite grower song 😊
Jim Dewars left one Hell of a void, and divine provenance must have connected Davey and Robin,because Davey does such a great job of keeping the legend rolling! ❤
One of my all-time favorites
I just had a flashback to the 80s. This is exactly what I saw at the Old Waldorf San Francisco. We were up close to Robin.Saw Robin at the Oakland Coliseum DOG. The guitar notes reverberating at the Coliseum. Awesome. Unforgettable experience. 😊❤ I was about to by Robin's DVD but found this here. Thanks for sharing.
Robin still gets that smile on his face in appreciation for his music & his fans. He's just a beautiful man & talented musician.
Fantastic performance. None better than Trower and he was on it this night.
Old man still got it goin' on.
Old ?
OLD ??????, 60 TROWER AT THAT TIME, IAM 61 AND STILL FEELING YOUNG !
@@stanvanderlugt8271 75 now and he's as good as he ever was.🎸👍
Agree
I saw Robin at the Aragon ballroom in Chicago back in 75 76 and 77 those were great shows back when bridge of sighs first came out we couldn't get enough of robin..back then ....and in 90 and 91 I saw him at the Park West in Chicago probably the best place to see Robin of all the big arena style concert Halls every seat was a good seat at the Park West.... those were great shows back then and he's still great today!!!
Wow you will ever hear music like this again . Only in our generation 👍👍👍
Davey is the perfect compliment.Robin's playing sharp as ever.
I saw Davey in the early '80s when he was with Ronnie Montose and Gamma. He sang his ass off! Awesome voice.
Plain & simple , Guitar God !!!!
I don’t think he looked down at his fretboard even once. Total mastery, solid feel.
WHAT a career this man has had...ive loved him since Procol Harum, in 68-
a little before my time but i caught up quickly,
and up to THIS remarkable performance and beyond.
James Dewar was ALWAYS a BIG part of the appeal to me...
among THE most soulful white singers in the history of rock music-
right up there with Paul Rodgers, Steve Marriott, Greg Allman.
..and there are some others im forgetting i know...
Greg Ridley was right up there too...AND he played bass excellent as well.
and its HARD to play bass and sing. I've done it.
Quite the compliment to Davey here that HE sounds EXACTLY like Mr.Dewar..
but its a compliment to James that Robin had to find an EXCELLENT bassist to take up the slack...James did TWO jobs and KILLED it for so many years.
both men here are doing a FINE job.,I LOVE it...even the songs i hadnt heard before.
I lost track after 'Long Misty Days' and 'In City Dreams'
'
'Please Tell Me' is as good as ANY of the old classics...
I hope Robin is STILL playing somewhere....he would be close to 80 now i suppose.
It is a great testament to HIS strength and integrity to continue in the world of rock music for 40 or 50 years....as SO many of his contemporaries have passed along the journey.
Caught up in the traps of stardom....Robin somehow managed to avoid....
Good for HIM and God Bless-
Well said
Ya you forgot forgerty
@@MrTeronzio i dont really like him, lol
Ed, Robin is 75, he's still playing, I saw him a couple of years ago in St. Paul MN, and he was on top of his game. He was hitting chords that I've never heard before. My buddy and I would look at each other and laugh in pleasant disbelief. I'm 65 and thought I've heard it all. No....but now I have. 🎸🎸🎸
@@saginawdan awesome...i saw them a couple times in the seventies and early 80s...and id definitely go see him again if i get the chance...he is playing some different stuff here on two rolling stoned, at the end on the slow part...ive listened to this one ten times over the last couple months...its great
Trower and Gilmour, masters of tone and technique.
Robin Trower and Davey Pattison one hell of a combination here. One word to describe this trio phenomenal.
Indeed , it's a phenomenal four piece "trio"!
You mean, quatuor ?
Check out the collaboration between Sir Pattison and Michael Shenker. Their version of too rolling stone kicked ass to the maxx from start to end.
Thanks for still being Awesome !
He deserves to be in the Rock Hall period. Sign the petition on Facebook....!!!!!
He is the best, very underestimated 👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
LOVE that Strat / Marshall Amp tone !
So awesome, vintage rock...
Got such feeling,the guitar talks ,best last great emotion master..
In this show, he's playing just as hot as he did in the '70s.
Now this, this is good music!!!! Whew...
Damn. I was just rocketed back to my youth and purple microdot.
Every time I watch these Rockpalast vids, I get goosebumps. You can keep your digitally corrected lip syncing wanna-be’s, I’ll stand in line for road warriors like Robin Trower and Davey Pattison. Old guys rule!
best version of DOTE and BOS by a long shot..... Trower is just legendary ...
Hurt myself smiling, Love Robin.
Damn that is the best BAND I have ever heard My brother used to hear these bros when I was knee high love it
Vocalist really does it justice. Great singer!
Davey Pattison
Easily one of Trower’s overall best live performances ever and he had an incredible line up supporting him. The guy is a legend
I agree. He’s just so slick and bluesy with his riffs. Just kind of grabs you by the cahonas if you know what I mean. I like a lot of rock legends but in my opinion he’s probably the best not taking away anything from the other greats just that I really dig Robin’s style.
Saw him overseas in 70”s ..incredible .. he’s in no way underrated by those who know …
READING THE COMMENTS, ITS NICE TOO KNOW THIS GREAT MAN IS STILL APRECIATED,HE CERTAINLY HAS PASSED THE TEST OF TIME,HIS STRAT HAS BEEN PLUGGED STRAIT INTO HIS SOLE FOR ALMOST 50 YRS. LOL
When Robin hangs a single note in the air it's so emotional it still brings on the tears. Daydream...
Dude is a badass singer!!!!!!
Davey Pattison
Wow, Robin Trower can still bring it!
Loved them back then and would pay good money to see them again.
Robin Trower. One of the masters of the Strat.
Robin's been doing this for years, how come he doesn't get more recognition? It's a crying shame.
Yes one of the best.that got forgotten sad
¿No está Robin trower entre los 100 guitarristas más imaginativos y eficaces ? . ¡ Qué pinche desgracia !
Superb.
In college I would roll a joint smoke it and listen to his awesome guitar playing Aw those were some good times
Drums are spot on.
OMG this was awesome thank you so much! I saw Trower at Winterland in 74 with Golden Earring and was totally blown away. My ears rang for two days!
In 2022, this deserves more views. This is June and it's it's very 🔥 hot in Chicago. I saw Robin Trower back in the 70's and 80's about 3 or 4 times. No guitar player matches him, every concert was great! Now it's 2022 and I still like listening 🎶 to his music.
