There is no guitarist alive today, that plays with the emotion with the nuance of Robin Trower. It seems as if every note matters. It does not hurt that he is playing his best song. I recall scoring front row tickets to Trower at The Ridgefield Playhouse. When Daydream ended, I stood and turned and implored the audience to do just the same. The standing o lasted for over a minute. Mr. Trower deserves at least that.
@Alan Boston, I'm a long time fan as well - you wouldn't know it from my username lolololol. To me, on many occasions, it seems that the next note he plays is the most perfect that could have been chosen to follow the preceding one and so the cycle repeats. A rare talent indeed and his music has been so much part of my life.
Robin Trower VERY underrated guitarist. Bridge of Sighs one of the best albums of all time.
william koestner concur. Not many better albums ever and definetely Trower's best.
@Eternal Tax Collector Underrated in that when they talk about the greatest guitarists of all time (Clapton, Hendrix, SRV, etc.) he is never mentioned. He deserves to be up there.
@@williamkoestner1400 So true. With Hendrix & SRV gone, Robin is right up there with Clapton. I actually prefer his blues rock playing to any guitarist out there. Hope to see Robin on tour in the US again soon
@@williamkoestner1400 It depends on whom do you refer to by "they". I get that probably you're thinking of casual listeners who vote in magazines polls and incompetent "music journalists". That's not being underrated, but just neglected/ignored by poorly informed people. I think that people who's really into 60's, 70's and 80's rock and blues-rock are well aware of Trower's greatness.
ROBIN TROWER has been one of my favorite guitar players for many,many years.
One of the greatest guitar players in history of music
Davey Pattison nails it. Almost brings me to tears...
Love Robin Trower always have and always will. What a great guitarist! Thank you for the video and analysis. 😎^m^😎❤
Kathy Prior,
Are you still moderating?
There’s a new troll. He deleted one of his raunchier comments, but has made other vulgar comments.
There are a few on the replies to the “first” comments.
Where’s Lori? Still away for that PMcC concert?
@@beachgirl4583 I am moderator still, that is just during the live show only. As for Lori I don't know what she's doing.
The vocalist actually does a great job. Of course, the "Soulful Scotsman" James Dewar was one of the best rock vocalists ever to pick up a mic. Great bass player as well.
Baruch Cohen
this vocalist is fine, but Jimmy Dewar was breathtaking. one of the great under appreciated singers. his work on Bridge of Sighs did a lot to make that masterwork.
@@gatorgityergranny Agreed man. James Dewar never got .0000001% of the admiration or attention he deserved. I'd rate him as one of the top ten rock vocalists ever. Check out this version- ruclips.net/video/IuJfA0LguQk/видео.html
gatorgityergranny,
This is my favorite video of Bridge of Sighs:
ruclips.net/video/0tLsFsGxLmE/видео.html
ironically jamie pattison also a scotsman sounded similiar
wow how did my previous music video response end up here?
Beautiful! Such a master.
Woooooooo HOOOOO! Robin Trower! About time a Brit analyzed a Brit!
Nice to see more respect for such a legend. Much respect for you too Fil. Rock on brother!
Finally an analysis of my favorite guitarist!
He's in an earlier video of Fil's. Trower is in a class of his own.
✌🏼💖
Robin is up there with all the great ones...great video and comments Fil...all the best...Paul
Yeah he is! In my Top 5 All-Time!
Robin Trower is alive and well or do you mean he is up there on the charts I didn't think of that LOL he certainly is I love listening to Robin Trower
@@usermo I meant up there with the great ones in status and expertise, etc. yes...thanks Mona
Always loved “Bridge of Sighs”, too
Swamper60,
I suggested Bridge of Sighs recently. That video focuses more on Trower. I’ll look for the link.
Edit: I love his facial expressions in this one:
ruclips.net/video/0tLsFsGxLmE/видео.html
Beach Girl Thank you for that, his expressions are priceless!! Such a great song, brings me back!
Bridge of Sighs is my favorite.
@@beachgirl4583 meant to comment last night, thanks for the link beach girl that was awesome. I kept wanting to close my eyes with my headphones on but I just had to watch
@@beachgirl4583 now I found where Fil covered this about 11 months ago
Bridge of sighs is one my all time favorites by Robin Trower! Was living in Italy when I heard it and went to Venice and saw the Bridge of Sighs and it clicked for me. Great musician!
The legend is that the prisoners being led to the Progoni who crossed the bridge to their cells or the execution chamber would sigh as they caught their last glimpses of Venice through the tiny windows.
Ponte dei Sospiri
What a unique guitar player. Thanks for introducing me to him. Going to download some Robin Trower.
first 5 albums the best,with first 3 just incredible!
@@jettechdonatkins Agree, the first three albums are amazing, also love Robin Trower Live album and the more recent live DVD
You’ve gotta love Robin Trower! Such great feel and amazing tone! His guitar sounds like a clean guitar with that perfect amount of breakup! 🤙🏻😎
Fil..Thanx...high brow🤙🤙🤙. I Truly believe the reason its so high brow is because of the lead singer Davy Pattison.. Complimenting Robin trower so well.. class acts. Davy San Francisco California. What a great combination.🤙🤙🤙
I couldn’t agree more, Gino. Davey sounds so much like original Trower vocalist, the late, incredibly great James Dewar, that it’s uncanny. I was lucky enough to meet Davey after a Trower show in 1988 and mentioned how close the vocals sounded to the original versions and he told me he was “great mates” with Mr. Dewar and they were from the same area of Scotland! That blew my mind!! I wish Davey was still singing with Robin, as I’m not big on Robin’s vocals, unfortunately. Also, I see you spelled Davey’s surname correctly. It is, indeed, Pattison and he’s a great singer in his own right.
@@crusheverything4449 Thanx, 🤙church..I agree 🤙
My favorite Trower tune. Nobody expected the guitar player from Procol Harem to put out the guitar albums he did.
Davey does a fine job with James Dewar's vocals. RIP James
Procol Harum
I agree. Davey is amazing!
Your credibility shot! Are you kidding? - he honed his skills with Procol HARUM!: "
I think he is under-rating the inspiration he got while in Procol Harum...some of his best licks, leads and rythmn parts are with that band. For instance, listen to his bits in this magnificent music, and this is live!:
ruclips.net/video/fAxJP7EmU5Q/видео.html
Go past the tune-ups which take about 1.5 minutes.
@@DokktorDeth really! he cannot even spell it correctly let alone bow to their magnificence and amazing inspiration for Trower (who downplays it in my mind).
I can still here the Procul Harem in his music. Loved his work; but as usual the analysis gives me a better appreciation.
Patrick Messina are you joking no harem here no way
@@trevorgwelch7412 PH is my favorite rock group. This is not close to their sound.
Loved it he's the day of the eagle trower
I stood on stage with him. He never opened his eyes. I leaned on his stack of speakers (right side) and I swear that's why I'm deaf!
To this day it was the greatest concert I've ever witnessed!
My Dude Robin! 🎸🎶
Day of the Eagle, great driving song from Robin. Great analysis as always Fil, you always get in those little nuances that most people would miss.
When I was 14 I learned Daydream, Cause Weve Ended as Lovers, Europa, and a bunch of Trapeze songs. That was my rock start. Trower is a genius on that Strat and a fantastic writer. Thanks for this.
GREAT ANALYSIS!!
If I make a mistake I will repeat it and make it seem like just a tension thing!!
@Roger Williams, replying to your first post here. If there was a sadness in my concert going or recorded music listening it is that Robin doesn't seem to have done any work with the AMAZING vocal talent that is Glenn Hughes, once of Trapeze. Most mesmerizing vocal performance I have ever seen maybe 3 years back now, he well into his 60's - and I say that with no aspersions aimed at the superb Davey Pattison whom I REALLY like as a vocalist with Robin, but who seems to insist he sing Dewar heavy songs
@@forearthbelow Glenn is a friend and I love him. His solo albums are criminally unknown. Thanks for responding love your show!
Thanks so much for this Robin Trower feature ❤
Fil, so glad you are analyzing Robin Trower . I loved his ability to take my mind somewhere else. Just by listening.
Sometimes you can tell something about the player from how they play and their sound. Robin's music always gave me the impression that he is his own man.
I'm not looking for a fight or anything but I really want to know what that phrase "he is his own man" means? How would he play if he wasn't "his own man"? 🤔
Michael, I guess you have not heard that expression before.... It means that he is not being subject to another's pressures or copying others, something like that, not merely being a follower。 He relies on his own efforts and or senses and ambitions. In this case, his own creativity, being an original artist. Robin has his own sound. Generally it is an expression that is complimentary when directed at someone......or it could also be non-complimentary as well, say if someone never listens to advice and it gets them into trouble.
Oh yeah! Saw this live in '86 and '87 at The Cabaret in San Jose CA. It's a wonder I can even remember lol! Robin was less than 10 feet from us - a very small venue, and talk about LOUD! Thanks Fil! 🤘
@Brad zybola Lots of the old 70s rockers had to settle for smaller venues when they faded from the charts, but Robin used that to his advantage. The album Passion with Dave Pattison on vocals was killer IMO. A lot of people I knew at the time re-discovered Robin diring this time. No matter when, he's always been a favorite of mine. And yeah, been a rolling stone all my life 😁 Peace!
@@mattrogers1946 Cabaret was a great space! I assume it's gone now, sadly.
@@mattrogers1946 OMG
Cool!
Great performance. I think what I've admired about Robin's playing is his incredible ability to restrain himself and let a just a few notes do it. His tone and touch are so on, he's one of the best players of a slow song, along with Jeff Beck, but of course in his own way. Thanks for featuring this Fil.
Hadn't seen this performance...thanks...tucking it in right along side "In This Place". Thankin' you for the background and analysis !
I had the good fortune to tour with Robin back in 1991...such a great player and the best tone I ever heard.....and a lovely chap to boot!
I had the live album recorded in 75 with this on back in the day on vinyl. This is one of the standout tracks for me. When I first heard the opener on that album, Too Rolling Stoned, I thought it almost sounded more like Hendrix than Hendrix! That's a big compliment. :)
Was that Live in Sweden? I remember that opening track. It's incredible!
@@roldoxc2094 Sweden sounds about right. The first official RT Live album, a real stormer.
Always loved Robin Trower. Definitely has his own style and tone. I try watching the pickup switch. Trying to see how they get their tones. Stevie played the neck pickup a lot. I saw Robin in about 73. All l can say is IT WAS LOUD!!! Love your analysis. You point out things that l haven't thought about. Thanks again Fil.
Love comment about Martin Barre. Often overlooked but a master. Robin still plays great here. No longer has to be the fastest, he can relax and play with feeling. Would like to see a review of the people who came out of the John Mayall Blues factory. He has spawned, launched and mentored dozens of great blues musicians through the years. 40 albums since 1966 (latest this year)
I had the privilege of seeing Robin front row Center not too long before we lost James
Wow !! wish i was there too, must have been great, Ed !!!
I did too. One of the best concerts I experienced. Saw him right after Carlos Santana’s Moonflower tour and Trower still stands out in my memory as better. (Don’t hate me!)
I was bequeathed an old LP of Bridge of Sighs sometime around 1987 when I was a mere 15 yrs old. Changed my life. Still perhaps my favorite recorded guitar tone ever. Great video!
Always in my top 5 favorite guitarists.
Rolo 6262 me too!
Stevie, Jimmy, Jimi, Johnny and all of Skynyrd's guitars
@Eternal Tax Collector yes love the Outlaws
@Eternal Tax Collector I wish Steve Gaines had more time on this Earth along with so many others. I was really digging him
Doesn't get much more soulful and tasteful than that! I was lucky enough to see Robin twice in small clubs in Chicago and he was superb! Great video Fil.
Long, Misty Days is my favorite of his.....
I saw Robin with ZZ Top and Wishbone Ash at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles back in 1973. This was a small club that held maybe a hundred people. At the time, of course, we didn't know the magnitude of these 3 great groups that are well recognized today for their talent. I can't remember any of the songs he played, but it was a great evening of music. Thanks Robin!!
The Palladium has a capacity of 5,000 people (it does seem smaller! I thought it held about 1,500).
I’ve been there for the B52s, Anthrax (a few times), Ozzy (backstage), Night Ranger w/ Black n Blue, and a few more rock/metal gigs.
I wish I’d been at the Trower gig (I was too young in ‘73).
@@beachgirl4583 I don't know, the place I went to wouldn't have held 5000 people, but thanks for the update.
@@beachgirl4583 You are correct, the concert was July 8th 1973 and according to Wikileaks, the palladium can hold up to 4000 people. Thanks!!
I believe the upper deck area was closed, and that is why the crowd was not huge.
I was at that show. Seen Robin a dozen times. Never disappoints.
My favorite Robin Trower song. I had seen this performance on RUclips before, an amazing, beautiful performance, deeply moving, and so earnest. It's like a duet between Robin and Davey, so eloquently phrased.
I tell ya his live stuff from back in the 1970's rocked out good bluesy rock solid artist
Thanks for showing Robin Trower some love - very talented guitarist - so much emotion, phrasing and tone in his playing - saw him and Thin Lizzy (another one of my favorites) in Ludwigshafen back in '76.
Fil, you REALLY should think about having a Rockin' Fil bobblehead figurine made of yourself, featuring your typically blissfully smiling, music-listening-analysis face for bopping-along display atop car dashboards & studio shelves, to sell as merch, ha!
😂
@@wingsofpegasus Do it Fil, we all need one!!!
Thanks again Fil for another fine analysis. Robin Trower's use of tension, by not cramming so many notes in, has always been a point of interest for me. The music challenges you to see where he might go next, but always within the parameters of the mode and tone that he sets. To me, he his is the Miles Davis of guitarists.
Thanks Fil for looking at Robin again. He has been, along with Stevie Ray Vaughn, Carlos Santana and Roy Clark (amongst others), probably my favorite guitarist of all time. I used to listen to his albums, literally, all day long. Great, great times.
I fell in love with this song when I was 14...still my favorite all these years later
I have all the albums by Procol Harum, as well as all the albums by Robin Trower. He was brilliant in the 60's and has only gotten better since.
EXCELLENCE AT ITS BEST. MY GAWD ITS BEEN 45YEARS .and he still plays as good as then.. You definately analysed this as good as any i have seen.
He has the best live Guitar sound live of everyone I have ever heard, he plays off his backline a lot, and cranks it up, and touches the Guitar sound through the PA I stood in front of his 4 x 12 about 24 years back and that great unvibe combined with his chorus and wah wah was knocking your head off,
Fil,as much as I love RT I also loved watching your reactions during this video! Your videos of Robin and of Frank Marino are priceless to me! Thanks and keep up the great thing that you do!
I'm down the Trower rabbit hole again. Thank you. Sublime.
Saw tower in 77 and 16 still one of the best
Robin Trower..absolutely! Back 2 years for this one.lol. beautiful.
here it is! awesome as usual!
I love this song, from Twice Removed from Yesterday. My intro to Trower. The only man that can bend a note around a fence post and bring it back to purity
That was a lovely description!
Trower is one of the very few musicians that I'll go out to see live if given a chance these days. FIrst saw him in 1975. Great video as always Fil.
I feel the same way, since 74 I’ve seen him 18 times. Planning for the 2019 show a buddy of mine asked me “man, how many times are you going to g to see Trower”. I told him when one of us, Robin or myself no longer breathes.
"Exactly whats needed..." is right. Also known as 'taste'. man, in '69 i was in the 7th grade and a class mate wound up with Procol Harums "Home" This kicks off with the classic Whiskey Train whichwe all loved. This album was given to me and i still have it (many jams later). In '73 the late great KSAN played Daydream on FM radio. Bought Twice...as quick as possible. I don't play as much as i'd like but when i do, some Robin is there. Huge influence. ha, loved when an interview not long ago discussed his Sig Strat and pick -ups. Can't recall what the neck and middle slot have but he said to Fender "Put whatever you want in the bridge position. I never use it."
Also, props to Davey Pattison here. He sounded perfect.
G your spot on🎸🎸🎶👍👍🇺🇸

@@jeffrobdine Thanks for the great link, Jeff. This is great in more ways than one,,,First a great breakdown of RT's gear. I love that finish and wish i'd have stepped up for a MicroVibe. Have a DOD Vibro Thang. Really hard to dial in but can get the 'vibe'.
Next this was shot in a place i remember, Grants Pass, Oregon. In '71, my Dad bought 10 acres of undeveloped land in Cave Junction. Wound up being a good investment sold after 15 or so years. man, we went there on the way to visit family in '14. I couldn't be sure of the place. Thank goodness RockyDale Road is stilll wall to wall trees.
Ahhhhh, the late great KSAN! That's where I first heard Robin in my youth and KTIM also! ;-)
This Concert took place in Bonn, Germany on Robins 60th Birthday in 2005, recorded by Rockpalast (German TV). I was there and it was a great show. Robin was very kind and signed a lot of LPs an pictures. A Night i will always remember.
And Fil: I really dig your channel and your phenomenal analysis videos!
Thanks!
I've been a fan since the early 70's. He is such a wonderful musician. His tone is incredible. I saw him perform in 2019. An amazing show. Such joy in his performances. I got to meet him briefly after the show. A really nice man, as well. Signed my CD. Nice!
Sweet!!! In City Dreams is still one of my favorite albums!! Music for the soul!! Awesome pick, Fil. ♥️
An amazing guitarist. Always interesting, widely loved. I was lucky to see him during his prime. Nice you mentioned Montrose and his excellent Gamma. Another excellent live show. 's middle name is Tasteful. Excellent choice for an analysis video on this legend.
Again a flawless and professional analysis... Thanks Fil !!
Great video. Robin's guitar is just so dreamy. Haven't heard this in a long time. Thanks, Fil. You are awesome!
The version,frrom the live LP,is gorgeous ,with James Dewar,on vocals,and such sweet tone and sustain ,the whole album ,is golden.
Great performance here! some artist I prefer to listen to with my eyes close. just let their sound take me on a musical journey through the mind! Robin is one of them! another Fil's signature analysis and rundown thanks Fil,
Can we gives thanks to Robin for not only long solo's but his overlooked songwriting. This guy can write so many styles and chord changes that aren't always used in rock . And he's my main reason for my use of triple stopped for 40 years . Thx Fil
Love the hand vibrato! One of the best! Robin Trower!!!
Wow,the phrasing, reverse bends and everything, MUSIC.
I had the pleasure of being at a concert on this tour. Trower, being a part of my formative years, was better than I remembered. I loved hearing him play the shit outta his guitar.
Thank you again Fil🎸🎸🎸 i’ve never seen Robin Trower perform nice video and analysis. ROCK!!
Robin and Davey...What a duo.Came up with some excellent tunes.Real music.
Thanks for this! I used to love Trower. Great reminder as I had forgotten about him:)
Wow Again! Spellbinding for sure. I wasn't gonna post on this, tho i enjoyed it much! . I saw Robin live in '85 at the Austin Opera House. Not with his normal band. But still a good show. But, what made me comment here, is something I just realized when Fil said that Davy Pattison was the singer for Gamma! I saw Ronnie Montrose and Gamma live in 1980? At the Armadillo World Headquarters for $5 bucks!!! Lol! What a great show it was.
I'm impressed that this is Davey Pattison singing here, since he's real close to James Dewar on this performance. Totally nails the song and is awesome. As is Trower who I've been jamming to since Bridge of Sighs. Picture that 70's Show, Dallas, 4 dudes up in a friends attic in our case getting stoned and jamming to Trower -- Too Rolling Stoned on vinyl!!

Hi fil Can't get enough of you videos it's obvious you are an accomplished musician and am going to make it a point when I visit your awesome country to see you live. I tune in every for your knowledge and insight keep it up!
This is such a hypnotic song. always loved Robin's phrasing on this gem. One of the most expressive guitarists ever, so much feeling.
Fil,I am so delighted for this video.I first saw Robin,in 1974,and instantly knew I had heard something very special and different.I have seen him many times since and am always mesmerized by his playing.He is one of the best,and not a Jimi clone,like some say.He is also a very nice man as well,got a chance to meet him,and will never forget! Thanks for this my friend!
Completely agree, friend. A long story v short. My pal at work [1989 ish] hated RT with a passion, for the very reason that you stated above, i.e. he was a Hendrix copy. After admitting he hadn't heard any of his music I lent him a cassette of the first three albums - FRIKKING BRILLIANT was his reply a week later, not a copy but certainly an influence or two in there. Roll forward 20 years, I had a chance conv with two guys on a train and even then that was still the word on the street, so many people influenced by lazy journos when others who were more copies get a free pass. Makes me sad and angry. Great analysis, @Wings of Pegasus, and you were certainly spellbound in places, shame you didn't do whole track
@@forearthbelow Robin and Frank Marino,like Jimi dared taking the electric guitar to new places.Each with his own distinct style,but all great in their own way.Watching them all play,you can see the differences and the similarities.Robin's first 5 albums and the live album will always be the best blues/rock guitar ever,with the first 3 really being the very best! I turned a few friends on to Robin,and they loved him and thanked me for it.Glad to find someone who feels like I do about Robin Trower!!
@@jettechdonatkins I'm 67 and from Peckham in South London, a few miles from where Robin was raised in Catford. I've seen him maybe 6 times in concert over all the years. I'll check out Marino as he's not been on my listening list. A strange thing with RT fans I know or have met here anyway is we love him to bits but few if any incl me have much time for Clapton, which is really weird. My brother is huge RT fan but had Tommy Bolin not passed SO young I think many wouldn't hold JH in quite such a high regard. Myself, I listen to something Trower most every day and sometimes for hours on end: I can't do this with Jimi, appreciate his playing and tone on some tracks but it screws my 2 braincells up totally, which is a feeling I don't like so much. Glenn to me is a latecomer but WOW what songs he writes and WHAT a voice. Loved Come Taste The Band with him and Bolin, I wasn't much of a Blackmore fan tbh, dunno why, he wrote some decent songs. For me, Bridge of Sighs is the greatest rock song ever, can be played faster than usual or slow or quiet or heavy - stay safe and keep enjoying The Master!!! Kindest regards, Tony👏👏👍
@@forearthbelow Hi Tony,I am going to be 65 n 2 months,and started listening to Robin at 18.I went to see Foghat,and RT was the opening band,after Robin played,I did not care if I heard Foghat or not,I was so taken in by that guitar of Robin's.He James and Bill were so fantastic that night,I have been hooked ever since.I used to listen to Clapton,but not for several years now.I also like David Gilmour,the late Stevie Ray Vaughn.Mark Knopfler and Frank Marino,who some say he is also a JH copy,but is not,I think Robin and Frank are better guitarists than JH.I live in Wichita,Kansas USA and have seen Robin 8 or 9 times and got to go back stage and meet him during the Passion Tour,due to winning a radio contest,something I'll always cherish and remember.I have also had the pleasure of visiting London for three days and Barrow-In Furness ,as my ex-mother in law was from there.Be safe, keep rocking,Don.
@@jettechdonatkins Hey Don, I've just lost a LONG rambling history of my life I had been writing up for you, so a brief one now for you!!
Music? I LOVE what I like: my sister said it best, I think - I love unusual music played really well. So: I LOVE Trower, much Satriani, Santana up until last 4 years but his music of 1972/4 revives my soul [has needed a lot of reviving of late: I mean the superb audios in particular out on YT from that time, Tommy Bolin, recently Glenn Hughes added to my pretty short list. One group you may not have heard of is Rare Bird, a heavier Procol, who were years ahead of their time: check out God of War as a decent introduction.
Robin's management didn't think he had the following in 1987 so they didn't tour here, I have a SUPERB quality um unofficial audio of a concert at The Masonic in Boston, she was about 11 and caught me weeping thru the title tack.. 'Dad, are you ok?' ' Yes, just really upset I never got the opportunity to see THIS group play THIS live..'
In fairness, my brother is more into music than I: it is he that revived my following of Robin. He had the 'Go My Way' cd and played the title without letting me know who it was and asked me who was playing. Played it again and said I it sounded like someone I knew of but couldn't put a finger on it, even though it was BRILL EEE ANT. Possibly down to the vocals throwing me, and then he said it's not the best track!! He was right - Blue For Soul, wow. Now THAT IS a Trower special.
SRV and Clapton I just can't get in to, too much playing and music/tone that doesn't fit my ears, Gilmour seems too planned, no emotion to me and sounds meh, but I will check out Marino later.
That is, after I break out the Boston 'Passion' disc I have [if I can find it!!] - right now I'm listening to a disc I have of Robin from some studios in Cincinnatti from Nov 1974 - killer tone overdrive, simply awesome.
Enjoy your 65th in a few weeks, stay safe and well, my dear friend, I'll be 68 come end of May. Kindest regards, Tony 👍👍👍
A great vocalist and guitar player. Timeless........
Saw Robin Trower in San Francisco in '72 before he dropped his first album as I had a friend from England who turned me on to his group. Trower was the opening band of three; and proceeded to blow the house down. His group was so much better than the next two, which I had never experienced before. Here's this guy playing Hendrix licks to original songs, it was all so new and exciting. A memorable night indeed. Thanks for sharing the video .....
@@mattrogers1946 True, but not in 1972. It was a first, with many to follow.
@@mattrogers1946 No they don't, Great, is Great...
I feel Robin never got his due because of the Hendrix clone comparisons. I've
seen him live 8x's & no matter what the
lineup he never, ever disappointed! Plus
he's a good bloke (as you would say)
always approachable and willing to talk.
Real musicians give him his just due,,, but good call you're kinda of right
Oh,..this is good stuff! Spot on Fil! As ALWAYS!!!
Thanks!
New subscriber. Amazed that I wasn't already, seeing as how your stuff had been coming up on my feed for a while and I've been digging it. Anyway great reaction, your analysis of and feel for this perf increased my enjoyment of it immensely
🙂
Thanks!
I sat front row for his last tour. When Daydream ended, I stood and turned and implored the audience to stand. They did for a very long ovation. Robin Trower is my all time favorite guitarist. He plays with such nuance. Every note matters. Every time I see Mr Trower, it takes one note for me to be reminded of what genius is. I get chills and more chills every show. I leave completely worn out from the unrelenting beauty, from the emotion he can make us feel with each and every note. For a long time, Rory Gallagher was my fave (where is the Rory G video??). Mr Trower is now number one. I can not give higher praise that surpassing Rory Gallagher. Thank you so much for letting a few more learn of this musical genius.
A guitar player who understands and moves a the pace of life!
Nice pick Fil fantastic as always, what we need is more Fil originals, Jeff in LA USA
Trower power - 2:45 to 3:01 - just one string, one finger, one note at a time with hands of steel & nuclear powered wrist vibrato. My favorite “rock” guitar player, ever. I’ve heard them all in 63 years.
One of my Top 10 All Time Favorite tunes;)
I feel so blessed to have seen him back in the 80s here in Dallas at the Arcadia Theater.
Such a gorgeous song
Bill Nelson yesterday, Robin Trower today you’re definitely spoiling me 🤗🤗🤗
I've seen Trower several times. Always a great show and so interesting to watch him play live.
Bridge of Sighs rates in my top 10 as favorite songs ever. Robin plays like some ethereal entity from another planet.
Always a soulful touch with Robin. You can tell he feels his playing throughout his body.
Yeah, that's way better than yesterdays selection. These guys got groove!
I just saw Trower at the WIltern in Los Angeles and absolutely magnificent as he was when I saw him in the 80s!! This is my favorite song of Trower with so much feeling.
Yes! Robin Trower.
Wore these albums out. What a true master.
They really dropped the tempo on Spellbound though. Like the original better.
Great choice man!
Rock.
Did this have anything to do with keg party's??
Great video! Robin Trower is amazing!
What an amazing vibrato technique Robin Trower has.
Thank you, Fil, for another fine breakdown! I remember Trower from Procol Harum but I must admit that I lost track of him after “Bridge of Sighs.” It’s good to see him again and playing SO well.
(Crude segue:) I’ve been searching the WoP channel and I’ve yet another suggestion to make now but, it’s a tricky one. A chap I think is an underrated guitarist, Lou Reed. The problem with Lou is that he never had any particular sound that defined him, so I can’t recommend a particular video for analysis at the moment. With a bit of time for research I think I can find a few examples for Fil to look over.
Thanks again!
