    Been listening to Trower since I'm 14 and I'm 65. Never gets old! That style of Blues Rock stemming from the Hendrix psychedelia world always lights a torch. I've always loved Robin's awesome strat tone. You always know it's him within the first 2 notes! He has such killer control with an amazing vibrato! Makes it just sing.
    I must say, as a guitarist myself, I've learned a lot from him over the years. And of course he's still at it, just releasing a new album a few months ago! Keep on Blues rockin Robin!!!

      Also born in 58. We had a great concert hall in my town, all of the great bands came thru there. We were allowed to toke in the basement of the great hall before the concert, decades before weed became decriminalized in our state, we were sure to get there abt an hour before the concert started. Getting caught drinking alcohol tho and u were escorted out of the great hall immediately. There were police in tht basement with us. , they were so nice to us. I miss those times, things were way different then. 🙋‍♀️✌️

      The Marshall Tucker Band = Can't You See - 1973
      Lynyrd Skynyrd = Free Bird - 1973

      The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge's English name was bequeathed by Lord Byron in the 19th century as a translation from the Italian "Ponte dei sospiri",[1][2] from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells.

I remember you could just walk into a ticket outlet and just lay some cash down and walk out with some really good seats. When the lights went down, the doobies got lit up. You had to have lived during those years to really appreciate how loose everything was. Good times. Fun times. Concerts were like every two weeks. Some rock and roll band was always coming through town. Remember them well. Once those times were gone they were gone forever. Peace brother.🎸✌️☮️

      >Stan Kowalski Your comment made me think back to the first time I heard Robin Trower & James Dewar - although there were albums before the first one I heard, which was "In City Dreams" - I went out and bought it immediately and was a devotee from then on. It was a magic time to be alive with all the outstanding music coming out. Trower and Dewar were really unique and they fit each other like a glove. Trower from England; Dewar From Scotland. If you liked what you heard here, check out all the other Trower albums that James Dewar was on. To name a few, "Bridge of Sighs" is one of their best but they're all good. "Long Misty Days," "For Earth Below," Twice Removed From Yesterday," "In City Dreams", "Caravan to Midnight," ..... Many more. Sadly, James Dewar died far too soon in 2002 from a genetic illness he had from birth. But Robin Trower is still pressing out albums and going on tour now in 2021!! Better than ever,too.

James had an exceptional voice - he wrote a Christmas song with a colleague other than Robin that is just beautiful; it's kind of obscure but I found it here on TH-cam - I think it was called "Hosanna" but I might have spelled it wrong. Do a search here using the words "James Dewar Christmas song Hosanna" and it should come up. It's well worth looking for - James did the lead vocal and it's accompanied with a home-spun neat video.

      "Bridge of Sighs is easily one of the best albums ever made"....... I could not agree more. When I was 11 years old, in 1981, my brother gave me 2 albums for Christmas. Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs, and Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced. Both really really awesome albums. This really shaped my brains thought process and style in playing guitar. These guy's became my idols and hero's in the guitar world. I just picked up a set of tickets to the Dallas concert for April 26, and I am really looking forward to the show.

    Robin never sounded so good as when he had Jimmy! What a phenomenal R and B voice, as well as terrific bassist..God Bless him..Sadly missed..not forgotten.. I gave my 68 Strat to my son..He's playing all those great tunes of RT and Jimmy 's now. He is more blown away by JDs voice than anything else.. Robin signed s T shirt for him, he gave it to me! It will hang unworn in the closet! I wish they could still make music like this! Fenders and Marshalls.

    Seen Mr. Trower 9 times, he's a yearly at Seattle and Portland. Seen him 4 times in Seattle and 4 times in Portland. Once in Chicago too. When I was first learning lead guitar at age 13 and 14, I bought his albums and these songs are etched in my brain forever. The "RT Live" album blew me away and of course the granddaddy of them all-time- "Bridge of Sighs."

Around midnight I heard chords that sent chills up my spine, and had the hair on my arms and neck stand up. I screamed, 'Who is this!! Why it's Robin Trower, playing the first cut off his new album, Twice removed from yesterday. The song was I can't wait much longer. I have been a loyal follower of Robin ever since.
