His brother Rick and I did a trade back in 1977. He loved my Vox wah wah pedal and asked if I would like to trade it for Tommy's first microphone he ever had. I said "Yep".. I still have that microphone today.
Love him so much!!! In 76 I was in a bad motorcycle wreck and would have died if there hadn't been a doctor playing tennis a block away. A friend brought me the album Teaser in the hospital and I was blown away when I finally got to listen to it. He is the biggest influence in my playing, then Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix. Had no idea it was the first night of the Jeff Beck tour. I almost died when he died I feel like part of him is in me. I channel him when I'm doing solos but I also channel other great guitarists but I don't necessarily steal their riffs I just think of them. The biggest loss in rock/ fusion history as far as I'm concerned.
Tommy was the best! Can you imagine the pure musical joy and musical journey we all would have experienced if Tommy had grown into an older man? I repeat, Tommy was the best!
It's very interesting to me that Tommy was at the Elvis Presley concert in Sioux City. I was there too (kind of)! My mother went to that show when she was pregnant with me. I couldn't see anything but I could hear everything. I truly believe that this experience contributed to my lifelong obsession with music.
Great video ! Tommy also played on drummer Alphonse Mouzon's album Mind Transplant. Everybody should check out the song Golden Rainbows of that LP. I'm from Sioux City IA and have been a Tommy Bolin fan since the 70's. Gone too soon !
Tommy changed the guitar world indeed. I saw him with Deep Purple in OKC on the Come Taste the Band tour and it was incredible. Thanks for posting this!

Tommy Bolin had a impact that was so great, I believe more and more people are getting turned on to his music, and will continue to Forever! Love the Bolin Family Always.
Same, I'll never forget a American friend of mine rung me the day he died. I remeber being stunded for a few hours then becoming so effing angry that he's denied me the joy of buying further album releases and oppertunities of seeing him live (I live in the UK) I got over that pretty quick, Thank god there was such a treasure trove of unreleased material and all of his recorded work sounds as fresh as a daisy, its never dated.
You are right. Bolin left a vast engraved treasure. It is a ruge emotion to known a new piece of this treasure that comes to light these days. This music is party of my story. 👍😎✌️🇧🇷
The James Gang didn’t break up and Tommy was not their lead singer..... He did not replace Walsh either. He replaced Dominic Trojiano in the James Gang. Roy Kenner vocalist and Jimmy Fox snd Dale Peters were already in the James Gang when Tommy joined for 2 albums. He split to attempt getting Energy back together
All true, but it just didn't work, kenner was a horrible front man and singer, and Tommy just didn't fit with the James Gang, in my opinion both those records were disappointing
i was in attendance of Tommy's last show, opening for Jeff Beck in 1976. i went to see Beck, but also enjoyed the Private Eyes album and looked forward to seeing him play. well Tommy was great, but Beck was awful. totally uninspired. i woke up the next morning shocked to learn that Tommy had died in a hotel room at the Newport Hotel right on the water in Sunny Isles Beach. R.I.P. Tommy Bolin. you will be forever missed.
I'll just add this for Tommy Bolin fans, this book, (Die hard fans like myself will not learn much they don't already know) Still its a collecters item I found it via ebay..."Tommy Bolin - In and Out of Deep Purple by Laura Shenton"
I wonder who responcable for those first two album covers. Covers like that dont sell for shit. Once decided records left misguided landmind forgot explodes divided
Tommy Bolin. My all time favorite guitarist hands down! I’ve spent years turning others on to his music and will continue!
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame needs to induct Tommy Bolin into the Hall of Fame period. .

The greatest ever Tommy Bolin, seen him at the mile high stadium in 1976 best concert I ever went to.
It was a huge honor for me to help produce/make this film for the CMHOF and to have some of my music/guitar work alongside Tommy Bolin!
Tommy was the best! Can you imagine the pure musical joy and musical journey we all would have experienced if Tommy had grown into an older man? I repeat, Tommy was the best!
I still try to get up to Sioux City on occasion to pay my respects to Tommy
I live in sioux city I often go to his grave and leave a guitar pick and cigarette for him such a talented person RIP Tommy
AWESOME
That is super cool brother, you know he is smiling at you for that, well done!
Nice one. God bless.
Tommy's solo albums are treasures!

They also left out Tommy Played on Moxy first debut album, I have been a Bolin fan since the early 70s also. Gone too soon.
Love Tommy's music/spirit!
Tommy changed the guitar world indeed. I saw him with Deep Purple in OKC on the Come Taste the Band tour and it was incredible. Thanks for posting this!
I have both of his solo albums. Fantastic!!
Me gusta su estilo de guitarra es muy especial

What an excellent tribute and brief biography. Covered a lot in a short time. Just like Tommy did.
Thank you! It was a great experience making this video!

Tommy was my biggest influence growing up playing guitar. That was in 1982 and on… thx Tommy we love you still your music is beautiful
TB’s music has been part of my record player since 1975 .

And deep purple was t the top psychedelic rock band of the 60s they were one of the top hard rock bands of the 70s.
Jimmy Hendrix said Tommy was the best 🎸 player in the 🌎

I'll just add this for Tommy Bolin fans, this book, (Die hard fans like myself will not learn much they don't already know) Still its a collecters item I found it via ebay..."Tommy Bolin - In and Out of Deep Purple by Laura Shenton"
This is cool!👏🏾👏🏾🤘🏾🎸💥💪🏾
Replacing Blackmore was the biggest mistake he made. In my opinion this was the reason for depressions. . .
Yah the English fans were not very nice.
Thank you 👍
Tommy Bolin is the Goat
the best friend I ever had,or will have best friend Philipp
Number one psychedelic rock band deep purple😁
Thank you for sharing this information.
Sioux city's son... forever young.
..and being the lead guitarist on most of Moxy's first album after their guitarist was booted out of the studio.
Number 1 psychedelic rock band of the 60s is an interesting way to describe Deep Purple 😅
I thought the same thing…
So wrong.
nice
トミー・ボーリンの素晴らしさは、子供にはわからねえな。
Tommmmmy 😥😥😥😥😥😥
I have seen quotes from artists that played a part in all of Tommys' albums, bands, tours etc but, absolutely nothing from Norma Jean Bell?
Rip Tommy sad m 😥😥😥😥😥
Tommy died on the final night of the Beck tour!
I wonder who responcable for those first two album covers. Covers like that dont sell for shit. Once decided records left misguided landmind forgot explodes divided
Love TOMMY BOLIN
👍 👍
Jon 😥😥😥🌹😥😥
