Robin is one the truly Greats !
GOD BLESS ROBIN,I BEEN LISTENING TO TROWER SINCE 1974.
Среднее исполнение..
My cousin turned me on to him in 76. The rest is the soundtrack for my life. Rock on Robin.
Robin Trower is an extraordinary brilliant amazing guitarist.
Thank you Joe mentioning James Dewar my favorite underrated singer 👍 ❤ Robin Great Nerdville Episode 😎
I’m glad as well, James Dewar is one of my favorites as well.
Davey Pattison was a darn good Dewar replacement, but he couldnt be 100% James replacement@@shadygrady65
underrated?? get a grip woke ass comment.
Finally! Robin is a true gentleman, and a towering presence on rock and blues music.
Great to hear how he got his first Univibe.
Thanks Joe.
I got to spend about an hour with Robin last time he came through town. Super nice guy. I have never seen some one have as much fun playing as i seen him that day
If anyone can find Robin's guitars, it's Joe & his network!
Thank you so much for inviting Mr Trower !
Great interview! Really! And Robin Trower is super talented and gracious. Love the guy.
Finally! Trower has the best songs in blues rock!
Trower...one off the greatest proponents of less is more! He always comes across as an unassuming, genuinely nice guy...
I had the pleasure of working with Robin a bit in the eighties, what a great guy, very humble
A true Samurai of the Stratocaster in all his glory loud blazing and heartfelt with riffs and bends that heals us all
Nobody, and I mean nobody, has ever gotten a Univibe tone like Robin had on Bridge of Sighs. You can tell they recorded that song at full blown concert volume as there is so much bottom end punch when he brings up the volume on the into trill and the throbs have this singing, but subtle, feedback in them on the riff. It is one of the single greatest rock and roll guitar tones ever recorded and one I simply cannot replicate accurately. I have tried everything from a cheap Danelectro vibe to a Sabbadius that costs as much as decent guitar and still cannot get that seductive, trippy, thick and chewy vibe sound. It is incredible. Hell, Kenny Wayne Shepherd played on Ann Wilson's cover recently and used a real deal Uni-Vibe chosen from a pile of them and got nothing close to Robin's tone. Of course, there is so much more to Robin than that song, or that album, he is always a tasteful player with excellent note choice and tone. A real treasure. Great interview, Joe B.
Bridge of Sighs…forever fantastic!
Half the trick is a dual amp setup with the Univibe only going to one amp. That's what Robin does, at least nowadays anyway . That way the Univibe isn't all ths story if you get my drift.
Absolutely. Well said. I was blown away back in the `80s to see my 6' 4" grandmother's album collection with Bridge of Sighs!
Great breakdown
I can get the same sound more or less with a Harmonic Tremolo... has the same warble. So imho, If Trower is indeed using a real univibe, then his was magical! Same with Too Rolling Stone... That same warble but faster. I don't know, I tried to nail those sounds with a drybell vibe and I cannot get it right LOL
Robin……. James…….Bill Lordan. Absolute MAGIC
Robin imo is the best electric blues guitarist ever, his tone is to die for, and his note selection is unworldly. Bridge of Sighs is the best guitar album ever and his new stuff is great!
JOE you Clapton and Trower .... Next Concert ❤🎸🎸🎸⚡️⚡️⚡️ EXCELLENT INTERVIEW !!!!
I was first exposed to RT in 1976. A friend lent me RT Live album. I was floored. Saw him at the Phila Spectrum in 1976/77, in Boston in 1980, at the Tower Theatre in Upper Darby in 1984 and lastly at Then Chesnut Cabaret in West Philly in 1991. Just amazing !!!!!
Been loving Robin Trower since bridge of sighs...damn long time...and he's still burning. thanks Robin....reg Isadore was cool but my favorite line up was Bill Lordan, Robin, and James...saw them in Phoenix az. Drove in from New Mexico.
BOTH GREAT GUITARIST, EPIC INTERVIEW. TROWER POWER FOREVER
For earth below was my first vinyl my dad gave it to me and said if you like guitar you’ll love this, shame the devil changed my playing for ever the wah playing was so cool.
I last saw Robin in 2019 in Tucson Arizona. Fantastic show, he does a lot of the lead singing now. Talked to him after the show, a truly humble man, not at all ego driven. A living legend for sure.
@joe_bonamassa Ha!!!! Et tu Joe?
Damn, two legends! Robin Trower live from …1975 (?) is still one of my favorite records
Great tone on that album! Unforgettable!
Oh Joe you got to know about the greatest show only a few would recall. Robin Trower performed at Busch Gardens FL. Hearing the blues backed up by elephants, tigers, and a chorus of exotic residents, was a once in a lifetime experience. So sad we can't find it on RUclips. Great interview, thanks.
Robin Trower fantastic guitar man,Joe bonamassa a awesome guitar player and a good person it's hard thing to put yourself out there these days Keep on trucking man.
Two of the best tremendous musicians love this
Joe you certainly are a true fan and a humble gentleman. Love the respect you give to these living legends and idols. Telling Robin you would open for him. Total class sir! Such a compliment as well.
Thanks! Robin is one of my fave players. Loved Jimmy's vocals as well. Saw him in Toronto Canada in 1976 as a 20 year old.
Omg, how did i miss this interview? Robin is my all-time favorite guitar player. Thank you for this Joe!
Hi Joe,
I've been a big fan of Robin's since Bridge of Sighs, Long Misty Days, Alethea days. In my very humble opinion Robin is one of the most gifted guitarists I've ever listened to. I'm not much into the technical side of things - the sound and style of Robin's music though is unmistakeable. Truly unique. Thanks a million for interviewing such a gifted musician and one of the greats of our time.
I was fortunate to have seen most of the great guitarists from the 70's. I saw Robin when I was in high school in 1976. I was mesmerized by his playing.
Being a life long fan of Robin Trower’s music, this was a great, down to earth interview that Joe B. hosted. Interesting info, trivia, and especially, the long over due nod to, James Dewar, Robin’s original vocalist/bassist. (Personally, for me, James Dewar, was the best one to have sang any of Robin’s songs). I saw Robin Trower in 1995, here in Maine, and I was right up the front row, total awe of Robin’s playing. Robin even acknowledge my present, being so close to the stage, he waved, smiled; something that I will never forget. Anyway, getting back to this program, I am so glad to have caught this episode, and look forward to Joe’s interviews.
This definitely makes me want to crank Too Rolling Stoned after listening to this. Glad I got to see Robin Trower live, at the Doheny Blues Festival in Orange County a few years ago.
I have seen Robin like a dozen times. And Joe around 6. They are both T the top of my absolute favorites. I want to see them actually follow up on Robin's suggestion of doing a show together!
Gary Husband !!!! Was the drummer on Seven Moons !!
Hey JOE Thank You for interviewing MR TROWER , my favourite guitarist . Great lots of questions and answers here . I think you should do a blues jam with ROBIN . Perhaps next time interview YNGWIE MALMSTEEN . Stay Cool . ✨☮️🎸🇺🇸✨🏄♂️✈️🇬🇪
Love Robin from the beginning. So great that he's still putting out the fine music and sounding awesome. Hope he does get back on tour soon. Thanks, Joe!
First heard of Trower skimming through a 1989 guitar magazine (cant remember the exact publication), there was a best 50, 100, or whatever, best guitarists lists. Trower was on the list. Sometime 1999, my older brother (who's got 10yrs on me) gives me a "burned" CD of RT live in New Haven, King Biscuit Flower Hour and was hooked since. Anyhow, I'm three days older than Joe B., and it's up to our generation to continue spreading the wealth of knowing and listening to the Guitar Greats ~~~ pass it on!
I loooove Robin Trower! Thanks for featuring him on this episode 🙏 I think I saw him last in maybe 2019, an incredible show as usual. And you didn’t get into the fact that he actually does sing quite a bit of the lead vocals now🎙👍, which I didn’t realize till this last show, I hadn’t seen him for a while. His playing and sound is always fantastic, great grooving tunes, and he seems like such a nice guy😁
Robin is the most underrated guitarist ever. He is the Stratomaster
not underrated, get a grip
No, he isn't.
Robin is the King
Thank you, Joe, for interviewing our hero with respect and humility, excellent work
Love Robin Trower! Haven't seen him live in probably 40 years! (Is that possible?) When he tours again, would love to see him again. Must check out his new album in the meantime. Trower Rules!
Brilliant Robin, thanks for all the wonderful music.. Awesome.
Thanks Joe for helping salute the man RT!
A pure cosmic artist who conjures up magic . Spinning straw into gold.
God bless Robin and Joe( live at Albert hall. Killer).
Trully,my # 1, and # 2 guitar players ever. I've been with Robin since early 70's,and why he is not in the rock hall of fame,I just don't know. Great job guys
True story here . Almost 35 years ago now my Then pregnant wife agreed to accept my invitation to see Robin Trower band play live here in San Diego at the legendary “ Rockin Bachanal “ . During the show the music went through you as it was typical Robin ( Loud & heavy 😉) and the baby was moving & jumping all around in my wife,& she commented that our unborn daughter was Rockin out !! Fast forward to around 17-18 years later & I get a new turntable and some killer Sony stand up giant speakers & just happen to be playing Bridge of sighs when our high school daughter comes home & into my music room & says “ I don’t know how , but I know these songs “. My wife & I just look at each other & smile , then start laughing & Nicole ( daughter) says “ WHAT???” We then told her about the show from before she was born , and she lights up & says OK , maybe that was it !! Proof that our little minds can absorb things and keep those things in our grey matter for long , long periods . ….. I first heard Day of the Eagle In around 1974 , or ‘75 and became an instant fan …. Thanks Robin , & thanks Joe for posting this gem !!👍👍
I literally had a similar conversation with my fiance about ten minutes before reading this comment!
My parents went to Hendrix while I was in my mom.
I've been playing guitar for 40+ years now and psychedelic blues has always been what I've gravitated towards more than anything else. I don't have to work at it so much, it flows out.
Robin Trower is an icon…70s chick here! Bridge of Sighs is one of my all time faves! But Joe, the world had to get ready for you…hands-down you are The Rock-n-Roll Blues Badass without question! Just sayin! 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
"It's not a lick. It's not a bunch of crazy notes. It's the song." Amen.
Saw Trower for the first time at Winterland in '75, the show is on you tube. He blew the roof off the place! I've seen him at least seven times over the years at different venus in San Francisco like The Fillmore, The Warfield, Palace of Fine Arts etc. He always puts on a great show!
Please don't leave social media. I like you videos. You look cool in sunglasses and ur guitars are cool.
Wonderful chat guys !...Thanks for visiting.
I started following Robin in 73 on his 1st U S. Tour, in Columbus, Ohio - he was sandwiched in between Aerosmith and Mott the Hoople, for me he was the highlight of the evening, thanks Joe👍🎸🙏
How did I miss this?!!
Robin has been my favorite artist since I was 16! (63 now) Robin's lyrics rhyme, are meaningful, and the mood of the music relates to the message! That's one aspect of his songwriting rarely mentioned! So many great albums! Love ya, Robin! Thanks for the joy!
Love this I am a huge fan of Robin Trower! Somebody said that listening to him solo is like watching a swaying cobra ready to strike its hypnotic ;D His vibrato is incredible !
Robin..a guitar legend
Most of Robin's newer albums since 2000 are fabulous.
Thanks Joe, Robin is such a great guy, my first concert in 1975.
Hey, Bonaholics!!! Such an amazing Friday's evening is today!
See you at the Chicago!
Dear Elena, I see that you are one of the first to arrive! 🌹🌹 🌷
I only just now discovered the interview.☹ Always late.
But the Bonafied Bonaholics Brigade always comes through!🤩
Always enjoy hearing Joe nerd out with other musicians
LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Robin Trower! Such an amazing player! Always has been!
my desert island Guitarist, love Robin, the way he plays Blues& the way he plays so emotional and colorful, it was so cool to watch a show recently it was directed by Bruno Heller and the Bar scene had I cant wait much longer playing and i still am shiTting twinkies, thank you Mr Heller, I used to live in CT and Robin Live @ Toads place in New Haven was the greatest place to see him, i think Back it Up is underrated, the last lp with James Dewar, settling the score, i pray to God that Robin and Paul Rodgers go into the studio and make some great music, so Joe i know you can pick up the phone and call Paul so please please call and put a bug in his ear, it would be a true Blessing,,,,,,,,
Joe, wow, thanks for sharing these experiences with all of us! As a guitarist, Trower has always been one of my Big 3,,, the players that were such a HUGE motivation for picking up the guitar in the first place, Jimmy Page and Frank Marino being the other two. Exposed to all through my older brother, been listening to all of those Big 3 since the late 70's, (I was about 14 or so). The thing(s) about Robin that hooked me were his tone, his phrasing, and his vibrato. There are so many examples of him "saying" more/imparting more feeling with just 2 or 3 notes than other players with a flurry of notes. You all know what I'm talking about. Search on Trower Live at New Georges, (not the FM version on YT, the audio version) and at the beginning, he just plays this little like 5 second warm up blues lick thing,,,, and you know, Robin Trower is in the building. He's one of those players that I can listen to forever, never get tired of it, always raises the hair on the back of my neck with how "cool" the result of his tone, phrasing and vibrato. Thanks again Joe, for this interview and for being such a "nerd" about guitars, equipment, players,,, all the stuff we guitarist can nerd out and drool over our entire lives.
Jimmy's definitely an underrated singer...very bluesy like Paul Rogers.
Have seen Robin about 6 times and was never failed to be blown away. Seeing Joe for the 1st time in 2 weeks and really looking forward to it
Fantastic interview Joe. So glad I got to see it. I’ve loved Robin since Bridge of Sighs. You asked some great questions. You’re the man!
Bridge of Sighs, one of my all-time favorites, along with the Allman Brothers Band Live at the Filmore East! It was my pleasure to see Robin live twice, years apart, at a small club in South Seattle. It's cool that Joe is also a lifelong fan!!
Joe I really want to thank you for doing the interview with Robin Trower who happens to be one of my favorites along with Hendrix. I got to see Robin in. Small bar in Charlotte North Carolina back in the late 70’s early 80’s and what an incredible show. I watch Robin close his eyes and play that guitar like it was of his body and never missed a lick at all. People just don’t know how talented Robin really is !!! Again THANK YOU for bringing that Star to his light !!
Robin Trower, fantastic legend!
The new album is awesome. 🦅
Thank you for brining up Caravan to Midnight. I remember where I was and who I was with the first time that track played on AM radio and had to pull over so we could hear who the DJ said it was. Same response Joe, Robin Trower? Brilliant album and I'm out to get you has that funky solo on the outro.
Good stuff! Saw Robin at Balboa Stadium in San Diego back in the summer of 1976 at one of those huge all day concerts. It was phenomenal how many great bands you could see for 8 or 10 bucks in those days. "Power trio" doesn't even begin to cover it! What a time to be alive and young!
Fantastic interview Joe with my hero robin thanks from UK 😋
Great conversation about blues and rock.
Crushed me hearing him say he had those guitars stolen, thieves are evil , somebody knows where those guitars are, such a shame
So glad you had Robin on! I love him & have since I was first turned on to him in the 80s..Bridges is one of my all time favs. I also like his new cd! It is great.. I can honestly say that I've nevr heard him do a song that I didn't like & enjoy... Love you too Joe.. Your one of the best things that today's music has going for it... Robin is a classic.. Always will be a legend.. You are also a legend just don't know it yet & /or don't act like it if you do. I wish you two could do an album together. That would be sumin else & throw in Eric Johnson lol 😂 be an awesome show /LP. Best of the holidays to y'all. Happy New Year!
Hoping to see Joe when he comes back to Vancouver BC Robin have seen him 5x in Detroit. Would love to see him again. Haven't seen him since 78-79
This is so awesome my friend! One of my early heroes!! ❤️❤️
Dear Mr. Fletcher, I’ve listened to some of your own work and have especially loved Joe’s Greek Theatre concert, of which you were an integral part. Though I’m a relative newcomer in listening to blues, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. And I feel honored to meet you here today, in Joe’s comment section, expressing your appreciation for one of your early guitar heroes. As I am sure that you are a guitar hero to others today! ❤
Robin Trower live at Winterland 1975 🎸✨✨✨🇺🇸 JOE please play on stage with Trower .... " I can't wait much longer . " Cheers 🇨🇦🍁
Joe is such a humble guy and not only a prodigy but he has an encyclopedic knowledge of musicians & gear. He’s like those nerds that can tell you the B side of every 45 ever released and name the year, the record label, the producer, every person that performed etc. or those nerds that have photographic memories about baseball cards & statistics. He is clearly on the spectrum!
Hello hello ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I loved Robin's music with Procol Harum and I still love it ❤️so sorry for him that all his guitars had been stolen in the late 70s. I'd love to hear you 2 playing together!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
When Robin said, "When I feel safe." My heart let out a bridge of sighs.
I had the pleasure of meeting Robin at a record store signing in late 80's in San Jose b4 the show at the Cabaret.... the store turnout was low but Robin stayed and talked with me and my now deceased wife at length.... the show was great with Bill and Davey. Joe, Caravans to midnite was his attempt to disco up like the stones did with miss you. It sold ok was an lp i still love. Burning love and King of the dance were my faves. Robin, sorry to hear still suffer with sinuses.... Love your singing until the next Jimmy comes along....... if

Robin Trower is the King of poise and economy....every note counts big and gushes with soul....none of that tiresome wasted energy for him and thankfully for us!
I saw Robin back in the 80s...he was phenomenal!
There's no way to relate how good his new album is. Simple but refined blues. Unbelievable!
Thank you so much to get to know such important musicians watching these videos!
Excellent!
Love robin! Always have, always will!
I’ve been in love with Robin’s music for decades. Saw Robin play in Dana Point Ca several years ago and he was fabulous as always. JoeBo it’s about time you had this true legend on your show. What the hell took you so long?
Robin Trower Legend 🙏
Joe!!! Thank you so much. I have followed Robin since the earliest days of his solo career. This is the first and only interview where he is relaxed and genuinely responsive. What a pleasure.
Love it! Thank you Joe! Robin was a big part of my youth's soundtrack!!!
Excellent interview Joe. Thanks.
I am a drummer/ keyboard player who has always been a wannabe guitarist but I couldn’t seem to get past the uncomfortable pain in my fingers unfortunately. I was first introduced to Trower by my guitarist friend in the mid eighties during my long haired rock band days and when I heard Day Of The Eagle for the first time I was blown away to say the least. The power and sound of his guitar and James Dewar’s vocals were simply next level as far as I’m concerned. That song moves like a tornado when it comes in and then the break is perfect. Also, I’m really glad you mentioned the caravan to midnight album and the song Im out to get you because that was so cool and funky the way he uses an up-beat attack on the rhythm guitar part and the sound he uses is truly magical. Needless to say I bought every Trower album available at the time. So great that he is still going strong and making awesome music. Thanks for this great interview with a true master of his craft 🙏👍😎
Saw Robin In the 90s in a small bar in Florida, But first saw him way back in the early 70s.
Just listed to to the mentioned song from Robin Trower "I'm out to Get You".
This is really very funky and I like it !!!!!
Legend.
we caught Robin in Milwaukee a couple years ago..truly the master of the stratocaster!!!!
Saw Robbin in Grand Rapids Michigan a couple of years ago. Great performance.
What a treat!
Two of my favorite guitar players! Fun to hear you guys get down into the technical stuff. I'm very happy I've been able to see both of you live, because the energy you feel when you guys play is amazing!!! I was fortunate to see you, Joe, more up close an personal a few times, and when you asked Robin if he played the bass with a pick, it flashed me back to when I asked you about how you hold and use your pick when transitioning between fingering and picking in a song. You were using a smaller pick than I had seen a player use, and you showed me how you tuck your pick up into the crease of your finger while you finger pick and then bring the pick back out. Dang... that was almost 20years ago! We were at a rehearsal studio in the Valley, and you were getting ready to go out on tour. I got to sit with you on a break and chat for a bit. You introduced me to Carmine Rojas at that time as well. Great moment for a fan.
GREAT!!!!! Two massive players-
