    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.

    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.

    Saw Robin Trower in 2019, man was on fire and still has “it”. His bassist was very good, as was drummer. Music had me in a heavyyy trance, hypnotic, he’s got the best “guitar face”. 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❤

    I actually heard a Trower song floating from the sound system of a Shop Rite grocery store here in Belleville, NJ! Thought I had died and gone to heaven. What are the odds! Somehow the management came to their senses and started playing classic rock for the shoppers. What magic. James Dewar's voice is to die for!

    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.

    Went to a lot of concerts at Winterland. Just missed this concert. I was in Seattle and didn't make it to the bay area until April of '75. Didn't get to see him until Aug 3, 1975 in Oakland. Got to the concert late and missed Gary Wright & Fleetwood Mac. But I did get to see Frampton and Dave Mason. Frampton's set list was what he used on his Comes Alive LP (released 5 months later).
