Robin Trower, Day Of the Eagle / Bridge of Sighs, Doheny Fest 2017 Dana Point, CA. 

Probably one of the most soulful guitarists on the the planet and was a HUGE inspiration to me way back in the 1970s...

Way overdue 👍👍

yep

And still going strong

Totally agree! That dude really pushes his music theory

And he rocks as hard as ever!

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 I love how this granpa can still kick the shit out of most guitarists today, nobody can ever capture his soul, practice all you want, but he is born with a style that can't be copied, I have been a fan for over 40 years!

@@doughi1880Me too! Love Robin.

@@doughi1880 not true. Robn cant keep up with todays standart. check out polyphia. enough said

Damn Straight!

Let's not forget Reg Isidore, perfect on those albums! Great drummer.

Singer sucks

Love Dewar

Mike Slater Not enough volume being given to his Mic though!

Mike Slater Agreed!!!

You have it the wrong way Michael but if your joking I forgive you.

Trower himself said “There’s no doubt that Jimi Hendrix was a huge influence." “You’ve got to remember, when he came along, it was a bit like when James Brown came along. There had never been anyone like that before, so what he was doing couldn’t be ignored-that was the thing about it. And obviously, from that influence, I parlayed it into what I had to say myself. But it was never a matter of learning Jimi’s licks or anything like that. I knew that was a non-starter. I think it was more his funky, soulful, and very atmospheric vibe, like what he was doing on Electric Ladyland. That’s what got me, definitely.”

@Michael H You could not possibly be more full of shit! Listen to Trower with Procol Harum (before Hendrix invented this sound) and tell me that Jimi got it from him. Complete backward ass bullshit!

I'm sorry but the contaminated Rock and Roll hall of fame does not deserve Robin Trower. Like frick they inducted Prince and who knows what other crap.

Sadly, the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is ran by idiots. Steve Miller called Them out on the scam.

Amen to that. I've been saying OTG for Robin Trower

I could not love this comment more!

God ? You do realise that for the greater part of the time that your idiotic Christ cult has existed, people like Robin would have been murdered, imprisoned or burned alive in the name of your stupid, vain asshole of a god ?

64 as well the guitarist in my first band when I was 15 played me the In City Dreams album… my kids and their friends love him too. Pure class.

Lori Snow 🙏💣🙏

@@nowiknowuryder He turns 78 next year, and he still plays guitar like this. I'd love to hear what Justin Bieber sounds like at 78 years of age.

Robin is one of the last of a line of guitar gods.

@@chebrneckalong with Steve Hackett who is still rocking in his mid 70's! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8_BS2R5Ih4Q.htmlsi=1PHtCKZhlIpIwrY-

That is such a cool story. I love how someone with immense talent like Robin can touch so many people's lives. I wonder how many guitar playing freaks were created by Trower's amazing playing? Easily thousands.

Send me cash then...Robin T.

You are truly blessed Charles I played candy in my back's back in 1967 canned heat not candy and barracks not back I guess my text can't understand English

That's a great story! Thanks for sharing!

Hey. I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, NC at the time when I first heard Bridge of Sighs. I had followed his music since his stint with Procol Harem in the 1960s.

No $hit Josef! Always dropped acid to see Robin Trower in the 70's!

Too bad the people in the crowd don't!

Yes, you get it Flat Earth. It's often what a great guitarist "doesn't play" that makes the difference.

@@obbor4 Hahaha! Yes. That one yahoo who should be airlifted out/dropped into a boozy Skynyrd concert. He'd be more at home...

isin",t it amazing what a talent. i like fool and me.cant rock any harder.great man .

Tell me some of the other grades you saw my first concert was a Doobie Brothers an old man rivers in a little town right outside of New Orleans in westwego

Keith Darling I agree.

@@philwright2480 Lordan

Don't forget Reg Isidore

dewar had an earthy voice...miss that

buttwuurst we were very lucky my friend. To live in a time with Robin,Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Deep Purple, Skynard, and the list goes on. I thank my mom who is no longer with us here on earth every day for having me when she did. The music of our youth will never be matched!

@@billgross2097 I grew up in San Francisco. Every summer there'd be all day, Saturday concerts at the Oakland Coliseum called "Day on the Green." Only time I ever saw Led Zeppelin was at a day on the green. They played with Rick Derringer and Judas Priest. That was a show. Turned out to be the last show Zeppelin ever played in the US.

@@LuckyBaldwin777 you are indeed Lucky. I had tickets to see them in Philly on that tour and Roberts son died. So sad. I had tickets to see them when Bonham died too. I did get to see them and hundreds of other great shows I hardly remember but will never forget.

@@billgross2097 That's pretty cool. Sounds like you saw a lot more shows than me. I just went to the days on the green. Was a giant party every other Saturday in the summer.. The only show I'd go see no matter where they were playing, was Trower. Saw him in Winterland. Even drove to Sacramento once and saw him at the Memorial Auditorium because that Winterland show was sold out. Weren't so lucky that time lol

@@LuckyBaldwin777 I was Lucky enough to be the poor kid in a rich kids neighborhood and one of my friends mother worked for the Spectrum in Philadelphia and her husband was a ticket dealer. I saw so many show from the front row, second row, always great seats. Superboxes were a big thing too. More privacy but I preferred some of the smaller venues. I saw Wishbone Ash in an old movie theater. Kansas, from the first row in the balcony at the Tower theater. Right on top of the band. Thrower I saw at the Spectrum. He always put on a good show. I saw Zeppelin once. Pink Floyd at least five times. Yes, Skynard, Boston, Journey, Eric Clapton at least 10 times, the Eagles, Elo, Doobie Brothers at an outdoor small venue, Hot Tuna. I'm sure there is 25 more I've missed. Like I said many I hardly remember. It was a partying period if you know what I mean.

Jeffrey Campbell 😎😎😎

Yup, just like seeing Uli Jon Roth. They're So true enjoyable.

Saw him at his first SoCal gig at the venerable Santa Monica Civic. He opened for Spooky Tooth. After his set, most of the audience left before Tooth even started their show.

Don't drink alcohol then! Just saying, not that you do!

Kenneth Surgent Stop misleading people. Even if he keeps the healthiest of life styles he will never be on stage playing like Robin, let alone be worshipped as one of the best blues rock performers of all time being on stage at 73. Shame on you, Mr bullshitter. Lol

I am 64 and wanna play like Robin Trower till 80!!!!!

^^^David Busby, if You Really Want to Do a Show @72, And You Really Desire 2Do So .. It Will Happen "Keep Your Eye's On the Goal and Yer Dream can/ And Will Come True" (y) :) .. .

Abraham Mclean 😂😂😂😂😂yeah right😂😂😂😂😂

I hear ya Art!! Poetry.

Those are great Marshalls at that, Vintage Moderns,

In the day ,bub, he was THE badass and you know something , he still not far from it, power on Robin!!

@@bobpress1235, you got that right.

Robin glad you didn't try to look like a teenager, Other older rock stars please take notice.

he is 76, still touring!

He sure Rocks !!✌🖒

I'm thinking the same, it's unbelievable!

Doesn't he though? Damn right!

In his soul!

So good britan up my day o

ITS IN SCOTLAND

It's a song that makes me feel stoned even sober... Such an incredible piece

No, it isn't in Scotland, lol! It's in Venice, Italy. It's a small covered bridge that a prisoner walked over to the jail from the courthouse. Little windows were the last glimpse of Venice (sigh...) before they were locked up.

fred cook 👩‍🍳

You hit it on the head.

Fan since July 1974 heard on FM radio. Take care bro!

"...hollowy sound!..." spot on brother

Better - he's his own man.

Yes, except RT is a much tighter live player than Jimi could ever have been.

rocketman63 you never saw Hendrix then.

I cant believe I'm reading this stuff Yikes!

Two entirely different artists, and Hendrix was awesome, but not even close to Trower.

William Dempsey That bass player is destroying his voice with that technique.

He is damn good!

Chuck H Good at a horrible singing technique.

He needed Davy Pattison I think

He needed Davy Pattison I think

@@jeffschroeder4942 nah - you’re younger than that now

National treasure? He's from ENGLAND dummy!

seejasongee yeh I was going to say the same thing he is from the UK idiot

seejasongee born in the uk

I took that to mean a Brit national treasure...

He is an INTERnational treasure. Used to be called the “British Hendrix”

Because the hall is shit lol

Dont know, but Robin Trower, and Grand funk should have been in there years ago

@@bobsigm totally agree. I did some sleuthing and got a contact number for the current HOF president and asked... was told Trower was nominated as part of the Procol Harem band and if he didn't get in then, he wouldn't get in now. I was floored.

@@bobsigm Thank you! Mark Farner is so underrated it's embarrassing.

Ujjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj5jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjmjjjjjjjjjjjmjjmjjjjjjjjjjmjjjjjj

Charles Hanes Trower came to Fresno? Man, wish he could be around here again sometime soon.

My father attended that show. He's the reason I've gotten into Robin.

yes saw thrower at the tower theatre I think it was 2010 that shit was good he was still singing then

C'mon man he's a long way from the grave! Soooooo much heart and soul

@@rogerf7229Oh I hope he is around for a good long time . Just making the observation that he is just as good as he was decades ago and not ready to stop playing. Just figured he'd take the Strat and Marshall stack with him whether they like it or not in Rock n Roll heaven.

The Wellmont Theatre in Montclair almost had him last spring, then he got sick...

Fuck I Bet That was an A-W-E-S-O-M-E Show Midi Man, "You Lucky Son of a Gun/Guitar" Wow I W-I-S-H I Was at That Gig, Nice Repertoire as Well ManOhMan WayCoOL:D .. .

Me tooooooo, He is awesome!!!!! and still rocking it. Saw him in Riverside last month. :o)

Bamby S me three, bought Victims of the Fury because the album cover looked cool in 1980, all in ever since...

2017 Robin would be 72, The Master ages like the best fine wine, just incredible.

Yeah 👍👍👍
