Years ago around 2003 I had a cop pull me over , when he got to window he heard the faintly sound of Robin Trower coming from stereo , He said turn that up , I Love Robin Trower , So I did . After a minutes he told me slow it down a bit & let me go with a Warning . The Power Of Trower !
@@chrismcbrias4681 He was playing gigs with Jimi on the bill in the 60s & he's no clone any more than SRV would have been. Both greats & all good players borrow from their influences, & Robin did get to jam with Jimi. We don't call it stealing we call it Rock & Roll. A clone he is not. 🎸
Trower doesn't need that industry hand job to assert his place in the R&R firmament. Watch the video above again, and check the date, mid-September, 2024. Bridge of Sighs came out in '74. Fifty years of the highest of standards.
Wait... that wasn't Robin Trower singing?!? Hey, regardless, I totally love the WHOLE album BoS! Had album, was stolen, had to get the CD, of which I blast in my car!
@@adamchaifetz5876 Caravan To Midnight was the first Robin Trower album I bought, and although I knew a bunch of his music before that I was hopelessly hooked after that.
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
Robin, we love you man! Your music rocked through those car stereo speakers during some of the best years of our lives in the 70's and you continue to innovate in the 2020's.
My wife and I were blessed to meet RT after a concert in May of 2017 in Dallas. He graciously autographed my Strat and my BoS album. Such a sweet, personable man. I have, and always will be, a huge fan of his psychedelic blues. I will never part with the guitar and album until I'm on my way out. Bless you and yours, Mr. Trower.
Robin is one of my main influences as a guitar player. In 1974 I spent a year immersed in his playing and came out a better player. I always remembered what he said… don’t try and copy but take your influences and let them come out in your playing. Today, I hear elements of him in my playing style. Love ya … Mr. Trower. ❤
Same here....I based my first setup / rig on Robin's and still have it. He doesn't get respect from the masses, but anyone who really plays or listens knows. Love it... Strat, Fulltone pedals, and Marshall amps a great recipe.
Went to a Trower show in Seattle long ago. The police were searching people and they found my friends bong inside his coat. The cop had never seen one before and as he tipped it up to look inside it the black water poured into his face. We took off .....Fast.
Bridge of sighs is one of the best albums ever made. I played too rolling stoned almost as much as Robin did in the 70s. Daydream is a masterpiece. God bless you Robin get well fast.
Can’t wait to hear live versions on this new stream of some of the tracks from Robin’s most recent power trio album - No More Worlds to Conquer … bring it on 🎸🎙️🥁😎🚀 1:03
It’s no exaggeration to say that Bridge of Sighs changed my life when it was released. Took me to a rock and roll destiny I didn’t know existed. Thank you kind sir!!!
I saw Robin in Knoxville, TN must have been 1973 and got a little purple pill from a guy. That's one concert I'll not forget. 😂 Just an amazing show. So glad we're both still here. God bless him. ✌😍
@@rockysloan3434 I saw BB in the late 2000s in Honolulu, he had to sit, but there were BB groupies sitting behind me losing their minds, lol! But, it was fun he had a good size band. I also saw him in the 80s and, 90s (maybe with Joe Sample and of course others) and he was doing his thing. You can hear BB's style in other guitarists.
@@michaelkarlsson5966 Yes it is! In fact, Watts also shared vocals with Robin on Trower's "Go My Way" cd quite a few years ago singing "Blue for Soul," "Into Dust" and "On Your Own." A whole bunch of Robin Trower fans have somehow just forgotten that... or simply didn't know. And you are right, No More Worlds to Conquer is a great cd!
The Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy has a rich history, including its construction, name, and cultural significance. The Bridge of Sighs was built in the early 1600s by architect Antonio Contino to connect the Doge's Palace to the New Prison. It was commissioned by Doge Marino Grimani, whose family's coat of arms is featured in the center of the bridge's facade. The bridge's name comes from the idea that prisoners would sigh as they saw their last glimpse of Venice before being taken to their cells. The English poet Lord Byron popularized the name in the 19th century. The bridge was used to transport prisoners from the palace's courts to prison. The most famous prisoner to cross the bridge was Giacomo Casanova. The Bridge of Sighs has inspired other bridges around the world to be nicknamed after it. There is also an opera called Le pont des soupirs ("The Bridge of Sighs") by Jacques Offenbach. There is a tradition that if a couple kisses while passing under the bridge in a gondola, they will be together forever.
Yes Robin trower was definitely one of the innovative guitarist of the 70's!! From that point on you can definitely see other guitars using his style and his finesse but they'll never capture his true finesse Robin trower in history he should be inducted into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame I don't know why he's not there yet!!!!. Hiway Donn
Dude freeking rocks! Robin has been my favorite guitarist for several decades. BTW, there's a "Bridge of Sighs" in Venice, where the convicted were marched from the courthouse to the jail. In Italian, it's "Ponte Suspiri". I was so surprised when I came across it! There's another BOS in Brasil, too.
Glad so many of these old rockers are still doing what they love. Remember buying Bridge of Sighs when it came out and being blown away. And they’re still doing it. Blowing me away.
Great song from one of my all time favorite albums. Was going to finally see him in concert but it was canceled. Hoping he comes around again. Rock on Robin!
Robin's an absolute beast!-he's as good as any guitarist-had the pleasure of seeing him in the 70's in his prime with the kinks-great double bill at the orpheum theatre in boston-you go-rockin' Robin!
ALWAYS SO INSPIRING to watch a musician my age and older still on stage playing music❤‼️‼️ keep on truckin Robin and all of us musicians in the 60s and older age bracket‼️👍 because our time is coming soon where we won't be on stage anymore... And some of us shouldn't😂
Just awesome to see Robin still out there doing his thing, just amazing! I have so many great memories of his music playing at parties and being with friends hanging out. Still listen to Bridge of Sighs and Twice Removed from Yesterday for fifty years on a regular basis. Rock on Robin!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I have been blowing speakers cranking Robin since the mid 70s. I have 3 copies of Bridge of Sighs. One is completely worn out from being played to death. Twice removed from Yesterday is also killer. I'm hoping to get to see him again after he is on the mend. God Bless you Robin,Peace be to You You.
Went to see him at Winterland in SF back in the day. The lead singer lived in an apartment across from one of my buds in Oakland. Robin Trower is a great guitarist with his own unique style of ultra heavy metal . The way notes hang in the air like cosmic mysteries and then thunder down on top of you is unparalleled and amazing! I would love to see them again!
@@johnsmith-zf1fd He had an apartment in Oakland. Probably not his main residence but true nonetheless. I saw them all go into the apartment together once myself.

Bridge of Sighs remains one of the great rock and roll albums of all time
Absolutely yes!!
one of the GREATEST!
The 50th anniversary remaster sounds freaking amazing too
ABSOLUTELY! One of the Ultimate Guitar 🎸 God albums of ALL Time 😂
And "Twice Removed From Yesterday".
79 years young and still throwing down. Keep on rolling Mr.Trower \m/
When I grow up I wanna be like you.
8yrs behind you & doing the same! Rock and Roll will never die. We will, but 100yrs from now the 60-70s rock will still be relivant
I'm 69 "years young" ("Buddy Guy words") and im still Rocking and enjoying the Blues. Greetings FUCKINB4. ✌️
You don't stop playing when you get old, you get old when you stop playing!
Good one! I'll have remember that!😉👍🙋♂️🙏
If you think that you're to old to rock'n'roll you probably are.
I'm a 65 year old drummer.....I will never stop

You're exactly right!
Robin Trower, the master of the Stratocaster period, Thank you Robin for all these great years of music !!!
Love Robin Trower but that title goes to Jimi

We want Sir Robin Trower to be inducted into The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.....ASAP!Theres Trower,Hendrix,Clapton,Gilmore.. Am i right??????
How do we begin! I’ll help!
How bout the great Leslie West.and Mountain its a joke they are not in Rock n Roll HOF

No ..............Trade Gallagher and Winter for Clapton and Gilmore .........
Sir ? Was he knighted?
I can hear Dewar's voice in my head!
Long may James Dewar's voice and memory live.
Dewar's voice is one of a kind
Dewar was great no doubt but this guy is great too. Fits the style well in my opinion :)
Wait... that wasn't Robin Trower singing?!? Hey, regardless, I totally love the WHOLE album BoS! Had album, was stolen, had to get the CD, of which I blast in my car!
Dewar set the bar very high but this guy is pretty darn good, too!
Robin has the best tone, instantly recognized!
Exactly-Remember listening to Bridge of Sighs and freaking out in the 70's

@@adamchaifetz5876 Caravan To Midnight was the first Robin Trower album I bought, and although I knew a bunch of his music before that I was hopelessly hooked after that.

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.

Been listening to Robin Trower since I was 15, I am 62 now and will till I die
Yeah, me too
I'm 63yrs, and Trower has been my favorite guitarist of all time since I was 18yrs. And I've seen him 3 times, and he doesn't disappoint ❤.

Been listening to Robin since the 70’s!
Yep , They sound just as good as they did back then , Maybe even a little better .. Fine Wine.

Jensen 6 by 9s. Then Rockford Phosgate. Then Bose. Now Klipsch.
Wow Chris,what memories.I forgot about the Jensens.Thank you
They don't make'm like Trower anymore. He was SO BIG back in the 70's - no computers, no auto-tune, no digital effects - just sheer raw talent.
❤❤❤❤❤Thank you for letting us watch the master at his work. Long may his fingers play.❤❤❤❤❤
one of the epic riffs of rock n roll! 🙏
And just like that I'm 15 again. Thanks Robin!
Awesome, turning 70 in a week. Still listen to Trower . Wow.
Me too! Feliz cumpleaños 🎉
he is 79, turning 80 in march
Still gives me goosebumps after 35 plus years....never gets old.
Absolutely fantastic.
At 79 years old what a wonderful inspiration.

He followed when Robin raised the key a half step. That speaks well for him.
Love Trower..Seen him in 1974...He is the only guitar player that can bend a note around a telephone pole and back 🎸 🎸 🎸 ❤
I saw Trower almost 50 yrs ago in Nashville TN, he was great then and is still great today.

Robin is and has always been a consummate master guitarist. Hope you're feeling better, good Sir.
He doesn't seem like he's ready to stop, yet. He is playing great here
What a legend.. Sounds phenomenal ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Robin Tower and James Dewar define Rock and Roll Music.
Money doesn't mean art.
The best band playing the best music.
Holy phuck! Robin is still killing it! God bless you brother Robin! You made some of my teen years tolerable! What a great band!
Hard to imagine I was listening to this 50 years ago
I've been a fan of his since my late teens. So glad Robin is getting well! Much love! 🎸💪💪💪💕🦊
50 years of awesome 👌
Such a wonderful and unique guitarist. A true legend.
Turned 70, and I always consider Robin as good as Hendrix. Would have loved to see them jam. Thanks for keeping it going Robin!!!
Me too! And so do I, easily on par with Hendrix.
Robin Trower un fabuleux guitariste hendrixien entouré d'excellents musiciens!👍
Love this man and his live shows for many years. Look at him go!
I saw him in '75. As good today as he ever was. Old man Trower still has his amazing groove!
Been listening to him 40 years,good stuff
Still kickin' ass...love Robin! ❤
B.B could hardly play at the end of his career. It’s unbelievable that robin is still able to play as well as he does. Phenomenal.
BB had diabetes which affected his fingers with neuropathy

and a real nice fellow. He went to the back of his bus and brought out a b/w pic which he signed to me. 1985 Harpos Detroit
When I think of what we called "Head music" in the 70s (I'm 69), I think Robin Trower. Bridge of Sighs will always be in my Desert Island list.
Amen

I saw Robin live the first time in 1975. He never disappoints. Wow.. he sure did get old though.. lol.. I don't care, he still hits the right notes.
Thanks from Texas. I play guitar and am ALWAYS in appreciation for a bassist who can do the singing!!!
I’m in Spring, Texas 👍
Its a rare gift
Old guys RULE! 😊
Saw him in Pittsburgh at Graffiti..a small club now closed. A mind. blowing concrete I will never forget.
Love and Peace
Wow!! 😳 Flashback to the 70's😎👍 I'm 65 now and still listening in 2025. Master of the Stratocaster. Legendary Sound and Song.!!
