    There will never be another Bill Lordan on drums, James Dewar on bass/vocals, and Robin Trower. The fact that these 3 are not in the RRHOF is a crime. Trower Power forever and ever.

    Absolutely the best version of The Fool And Me ,by far! I'm a lifelong Trower fan and it's a crying shame Robin seems to have been overshadowed by Clapton, Beck and Page in the 60's and 70's, and E. Van halen, SRV in the 80's. Robin certainly has his following, but I feel he's so much better than most people think.

    Witnessed Robin Trower back in the 70s past, Awesome live concert!! They were a band of the good old days. I remember the concert ended under applauding. The crowd left, but not 45 fans. They came out and played another 45 minutes of unreleased songs. Mind blowing, that's for sure!!

No synthesizers, auto tune, big sets, fancy lighting, dancers, or candy-ass BS, just get down and kick butt blues-rock-Nendrixian guitar. I saw this trio back in the day and they absolutely crushed it! Thank you, Robin Trower!

    I had an older brother by 5 years, so I grew up listening to my bothers music. Rock, good rock. And I remember being blown away when I heard Trower. Snuck my bothers albums and played Trower for friends. One friend called it "tough music" when he heard Trower. "Man, that's tough music, the guitar playing is far out. (yeah we were children of the 60's) Not many years later at 16 years old I found myself at Winterland in San Francisco at a Robin Tower concert, totally grooving on "tough music"
    I have all of Robin's albums from my brothers collection. (vinyl, look it up kids lol) My brother has since passed, but I will crank up some Trower to "11" for my brother, wherever he may be listening.

Massive talent, he and his guitar become one. First heard of him way back in 1974 when older bro added “Bridge of Sighs” to album collection. Blew my 15 yr old socks off! Love you Robin Trower❤

    My first concert. : Pablo Cruise, Journey, Robin Trower - We were 16. Winterland was an epic concert hall. The whole scene was a mind bender for a guitar kid wannabe and adults alike. I blew through 2 or 3 copies of Bridge of Sighs learning every note including this song. We had no tab, no internet. We had vinyl and the will to use our ear to suck every note out that was possible.

    My first concert was seeing him at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, probably 1974 time frame. Totally awesome concert, I will always remember his guitar work

    This is off topic, but i missed out seeing so many bands because my ears could not take the volume.
