Bill Lordan - drums
Dewar’s voice still gives me goosebumps 50 years later…
Yes! He can put a bolt through me!
One of the all-time greatest.
He was from Glasgow a place called Knightswood I used to see him after he had lost his money n quit the band him frankie miller n rory Gallagher where friends
Right?
Perfectly tuned Strat!
Jim Dewar is for me one of our greatest blues singers, up there with Paul Rogers.
They sound alike for sure
Wow
Probably my favorite version of this song. This song alone should have gotten Robin into the R &R Hall of Fame.
What about Frank Mariano’s version from “What’s Next”? Seems superior to this one, to me.
I Second That Emotion!
Yes Dewar's lovely voice. But mainly, OMG,...... THE TONE!!!!!!
this type of rock sound just isn't around anymore - Robin Trower is a true master in what he does and so was James Dewar and we must not forget about the drummer Bill Lordan
Or Reggie, the original drummer 🥁
Yes, learned the magic of 12/8 in the basement learning to play this thanks to Bill :D
Really,what the heck open your listing ears get real ………🎸🎸🎸
And Reg Isadore! Mad Dog 🐕 Sweeney
I'll be 62 this month, 6/26/59, and I just want to say thank you to RT for coming along in my life when I was just starting to appreciate the monster sounds you can get from a strat. He defines the power, presence and depth of tone one can summon from wood, steel and amplification with his fingertips. Add some Wahs, whoas and Wows and, simply put, you've got the real magic only he can summon. The stuff we all need to fill in those parts of our brains that insist on demanding performance, excitement pleasure and satisfaction all at once, so we can feel assured that we got what we wanted and more than what we expected, never letting us down every time we hear his playing. Amen!
62? Ha ha ha respectfully, I agree bro, am I'm 64 and been Groovin' with the Britt for a bit.
AMEN & WOMEN also
Very well put MrNorsewise, I was there.
This is whatever that thing is
That comes
Before
COOL.
ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER! THANKS ROBIN FOR BEING SO AWESOME!🎸🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶✌️😎BOB
Went to a Trower concert in Pittsburgh (small venue) and it was sold out. got lost leaving the place and ran into his sound crew who invited me back with first class accommodations. Got to meet the man and hang out. Robin is by far my favorite guitarist.
Regular bloke....Mad Dog 🐕 Sweeney
One of the UK's greatest blues rock singers - Jimmy Dewar on bass and vocals. A huge influence on me, he never gets in the way of Robin's guitar pyrotechnics and this clip is a great example of how well this unit just clicked.
Robin is a Guitargod....a tonemaster, a fretmaster, a Stratmaster.........as a guitarist you can learn lifelong from him.......this version is the best ever...and now he is 77 years young and still rockin
Trower is in his seventies now and still plays with the passion of a much younger man.RT has the best live guitar tone of anyone I have ever seen.If you get a chance to see him play live do it.
Can't beat Fulltone, Marshall & hands.
Amen
Robin invented the pained rock expression library. His face just reacts to every note of his great guitar work.
Wow , this is the. greatest version ive ever heard. James's voice pluss the guitar just make it.
The amount of great guitar players in the 70s is astounding. Unfortunately, Robin doesn't get the credit he deserves. The guy could shred!!!
That smooth voice combined with that guitar tone is timeless
Jesus Christ, this is some of the best Trower I have ever heard. Wonderful !!!!!
Buy his "Live" album from 74 or so. Six songs. Great record. This one is on it too.
Ikr!!!
Ikr!!!
When i first heard Robin Trower on guitar , I was blown away , but then when I realized J. D. was the vocalist , that sealed the deal ! R.I.P. " Dew-Man "
This could be some of the finest guitar playing I have heard
That tone...THAT TONE!!
Yup.
Major rock and roll pro's have been asked 'who is the greatest rock band ever?' Many replied 'Procol Harum' ...and Robin Trower is a big reason for that.
Best of the Best Robin Trower can’t be beat
That's the truth!
Mr. Dewar was unique too....Great man RIP
I was there... class of '75 Rocked me all night long.
Jimmy Dewar, the Pavarotti of rock.
What a chemistry Robin and James had I saw them in 1977.
I first started listening to Robin Trower in my 50’s he has an unbelievable sound love to listen to him. He’s up there with my all-time favorites. Led Zeppelin the stones ZZ Top he is awesome. He should be in everybody’s Hall of Fame.
Awesome vibrato, awesome tone, awesome dynamic. A true inspiration for all musicians.
I just love how bluesy he plays. So smooth.
He might be the most fluent, lyrical bluesy guitarist of all time. No can bend up a whole step, and THEN give it that sweet vibrato like Trower.
That's my hero, playing it like a boss
Robin added a special style of blues,rock ,jazz and psychedelic roll to get his original tones and had to express it over the 50 year span he has played ! Without his attempt at music......it indeed would be a" Dull world"! His songs still jam all over the world on Radio ! I remember the radio station KZEW- " The Zoo" 98 FM Dallas/ Ft worth always jamming his songs early in the morning to get us all up and out of bed to go to school! And then of course come home and smoke a few bowls of good Columbian redbud ! Go trinity Trojans class of 1980 ..... Euless,Tx
I was blessed to be at this show at Winterland in San Francisco which was kinda my second home in my High School years, God bless Uncle Bobo aka Bill Graham for bringing us so much Epic Music!
Trower and Ddwar are awesome so is the drummer Heavy Blues Rock i listen to it a lot nothing else like it
DEWAR SORRY RIP
We recently had a reunion of our high school band from the late 70s,we talked music of course,and his solo in this off the live record(Sweden) robin tower live was agreed ad the best blues solo in history
Saw him at Royal Oak Theater twice. put me in a trance. just like he's supposed to.
I had front row in Denver...trance indeed!
God bless Robin Trower! Thank God we still have him around! Thanks for giving me some of the most thrilling music in my life and total inspiration on playing electric guitar especially the Strat! You are one mean guitarist! Thanks for everything you've done for our listening pleasure!
Oh my god.one of the best if you ask me.stevie learned alot from him.plus the blues but this is that.but alittle more textured.god bless everyone.
Holding the camera still on the solo!
This is the only camera man that ever lived that could ever do this.
I used to hate that as soon as the guitar solo came, what would the camera do? go to the bass player or drummer!!!! Not this guy though! Beautiful!
I went to see Robin in a dinky bar in my hometown Middletown Ohio in the 80's and he did 2 sets and was absolutely fantastic. I have always loved him and his telling of the blues. Made me happy and sad at the same time. He was so flipping good. The place was packed and he was VERY well received. A nice guy too. Never got the appreciation he so richly deserves.
Saw him at House of Blues in Dallas, Him and his band burned the place down !! Trower Power!!
I was there too! Fantabulous
Wow, big bends, stinging vibrato, tone...what a night, that Ides of March 42 years ago!
OMG... Did U have to remind me of the time sequence?
Sh*t. I was 16 and had front row seats at Winterland &
Oakland Coliseum. wow.👍💓🙌🎵🎶🙏
Leaning on the stage in front of James that night. One of the best ever.
I was there!
Can you prove that? :)
You are one lucky dude!
Oh God I hate you so much. Okay okay I'm just jealous
We're getting 'older'. ✌🏼
@Ivy Mossgarden
Amphitheatre?
Robin was just a young man when he joined Procol Harum and he made it to the top. Bravo! Karl
I was 16 and was there also. lived in San Jose and frequented
Winterland on the weekends....❗❗❗❗❗🎶🎵🎶🎵🙌🙌💓👍👍
I feel so blessed .Some of THE BEST music memories of my life.🙏
Re: "...frequented
Winterland on the weekends..."...yeah, that's kind of the way it was...who's playing, don't care, were going.
Excelente mis Respetos
Para esté Genio. Saludos desde San Luis Potosí mex.
as a guitarist, Trower blows me away. He's hard to nail down, though.
I, can honestly say Robin is without doubt in my top five guitarists. Brilliant, 🤩
Awe damn, turn it up , Trower baby , great video, He is still rocking!!
Love, love Robin!!
Has always been one of my fav trower tunes!
Seen the man 5 times dating to the early eighties, from Dallas to Atlanta, Florida to Seattle.....God bless the man! miss Jim Dewar.
How could there not be more likes! #500 just added :)
First time I saw Robin was Radio City in 77. Derringer opened Great show Still a fan today
I didn't miss it. 1978 started my first live jam with 2 rolling stoned, 71 maple strat, plexi and full cabs..
Lol wish I knew where that cassette was
Wow. Thanks Robin and company. Great stuff!
Ok now this is how you drive a Fender Stratocaster down the highway of blue......Even Hendrix couldnt top this one....and of course James Dewar's magical voice....
such a tight band stunning performance
Wow !! Tone is beautiful.
Hello all! Where were you on 3/15/75? I was here at this concert when I was 14 with my stepdad and his brother. Was a great concert, and this band was our favorite.
I was here winter land San Francisco. Too bad its so dark. Jimmy Dewar with a voice of an angel.
This dude is completely awesome.
This is Sweet! I miss these times even though I was 15, I was a rocker and a motor head. Ride And Drive With Soul!
One of my absolute favourite Trower songs
It's actually an old blues song not written by trower
It's actually an old blues song not written by trower
Thank you for this
Great!!!! Super Legend!!!! LOVE!!!
what a bluesy style Robin has, as good or better than most.
Was there . Nice to reminisce.

What good music to grow up on!! I was a Low Rider but I still loved my white skin and roots and good rock!!!I'm a lover of all good music and people/ with good culture...I never tried to be something I m not!!! I stayed real to myself and everything else.
Mejor versión de Rock me baby 🎸 del fabuloso Robin Trower 😎
Love the Music of Robin Trower 💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸💙🎸
At this show , yet to turn 15. We had some great music and amazing parents!!!
Absolutely brilliant thank you
Great version!
Robin is unknown to so many
Killer tone!
I could listen to Robin and the band for days and still not be board with the music....same thing with jimi and also mahogany rush...theres something special with these bands...guitar heros maybe ...
+David Keeler
Yes I agree with you, its the soul and the sense for the blues!!
bored
@@dacappo4804 Dick head
Yes I agree, BANDS now days aren't nothing like the band's befor and never ever will be no matter how hard they try to it just won't happen..!!
Some we may like but the new BANDS just don't have the same sound , or that something what we like of the old BANDS
@@@hersheysnake... Agreed, I wouldn´t even bother wasting a second replying to those type of comments. You´re only dignifying them undeservedly by replying. But I understand the impulse...
I saw Trower at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh PA. That’s where I also saw iron butterfly, traffic, the stones, Clapton, the doors..Yes I am old now, but one thing I can say, today’s kids missed it.. you missed the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll that is still popular today on the radio and record sales. We had Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Joe Cocker, Santana, canned heat, Crosby stills and Nash, spirit, blind faith, Derek and the dominoes, Fleetwood Mac, the band,Boston, ZZ Top, Jethro Tull, the Yardbirds, the kinks, jefferson airplane, Big brother and the holding company,The Moody blues, the rolling stones,the guess who,cream, the grateful dead,, Bob Dylan, The best live guitar player I ever saw, Alvin Lee, Big brother and the holding company, the Doobie brothers, iggie pop,Chicago, yes, Pink Floyd, The Guess Who,the who,Peter Frampton, AC DC, Creedence Clearwater, the byrds, The Allman brothers, vanilla fudge, Steve Miller band,All of these bands had real musicians, and no two sounded alike..
yes, the current generation missed it....What do they have today? Synthesized music & Taylor Swift... They are all made of ticky-tacky and they all sound the same.
I think just about everyone born before 1999 would agree that the past is far brighter than the present and the future !
people born after 1999, you missed it !
They missed it bad.....never a time like that again....
absolutely
Saw Trower at the Arena and at some club in Oakland, right down front of the stage. Can't remember the name of the club though...oldtimers I guess.
You never mentioned Stevie Ray Vaughn. Ya, it wasn't from the hippy generation but he could play as good as the best of them. Saw him at Soldiers and Sailors, then at Heinz Hall.
Stratking of the universe
The best guitar 🎸aye Robin
Was there! Was there! 😎👍
Wow 😮
Robin Hendrix or Jimi Trower, -makes zero difference at that point.
They knew one another and were good mates, they both clearly inspired one another, no doubt about it.
What is it about this beat that so touches my soul?
Good question!
RT & Johnny Winter were the closest we had when Jimi left. -Class of 74
So true billyclub, idolised Johnny Winter loved Robin's music especially with James Dewar

super super melodie rock my beybi
Big george jimi dewar did this song in diall inn glasgow had the tape awesome rip jd
BADASS LOVE U !!!!!!
Robin shared a few tricks with Jimi about atmospheric dynamics and Jimi returned the favor by sharing, the higher pass chord sweeps. ....guaranteed!
B.L.O.O.O.Z.E 🎸🎸🔊🤘
As much as I like the likes of Satriani and Vai and Nuno and the Malmsteen in certain doses, can you honestly imagine putting Robin, Jimi, Gary and Stevie on the same stage just once instead, I know the present 4 would just faint.
They all stand alone....I come from mostly the latter group named...although I like them all- me being a guitar player of course....Trower being my main influence.
OMG...What a show!❗❗❗❗🎵🎶🎶🎵🙌🙌💓👍
The trouble with Malmsteen and Vai etc is most of the 'playing' is electronic technology and sounds more like a musical typewriter than guitar playing from the soul.
Hip, hip. Harrah!$$$$$$$$
In this era in Ontario Canada we would snag suckers in the 16mi creek. Who would think that fish and rock so much in common?
Robin and Ritchie would have been awesome together don't know if they ever jammed together
Ok there ya go, history made ,next.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Epic Facial Contortions!
I was 16 and right in front of the stage....
Lucky bastard
You lucky little sh1+
I think I understand why Eric Clapton hasn’t asked Robin Trower to join him on stage . It would be to embarrassing for Eric.
I agreed. But if Eric would’ve stuck to playing raw and hard blues it wouldn’t be. He was just as good as robin in cream or D&D
Really this guy couldn't carry erics guitar case...let's be honest
Exactly you are right
@@michaelkelly9170 ....Not once in his entire career was Clapton half as good as Trower ....even on a bad night.
Jack Bruce did.
Trower alway's had the ability to use "in between" notes,.... that were not major or minor,... and was always bending up or down to the pitch he wanted,... don't know any other guitar player that could do it as well as him,.... him and Dewar and Billy Lorden were the best,... drummer Reg Isdore,... had the tightest snare drum shots,.... in the early years on the "Bridge Of Sighs" album......... ya need to listen to some of his new stuff....."United State Of Mind".......those guys have truely got it goin' on,..... nobody else could ever begin to sound like that,.... they all just seem to get better with age,....... turn it up...........
