Robin Trower - Too Rolling Stoned - 3/15/1975 - Winterland (Official) 

He's equal to Paul Rogers! Two Gods!

You know that

Absolutely - and Bridge of Sighs has to be one of the most complete albums ever.

agreed

I totally agree my man

i love his sound .

Nov. I hit 65… let’s drink a beer..

65, Clearlight nights.

Me too, I'm 64.

I’m almost 63 .. can I come hang with the older crowd ,?!💪🔥👏🏼☮️🦋

I could of seen this man a many times but I know in my heart he will forever live!!

Blackmore is the King..Back then, & still today!

The culture was vastly different back then; I wore Nehru shirts with beads, jewelry and marijuana. Todays guitar is just as good as in the 1970's.

It's crazy because it's loose and tight.

It’s not about better or worse, it’s about personal taste.

I think you’ve got a sweet tooth for Strats with a healthy serving of wah-wah

I like how it's almost casual and doesn't seem too flashy, meanwhile they are absolutely kicking unbelievable ass. They don't even look particularly excited as if they just do this all the time.

No joke eh I'm just discovering Trower and man is the band ever tight.

@@DannyBoyPhelan I’m so glad son that you got to get to enjoy this. I was about 14 and I was really into good rock I get to hear it firsthand. I got to hear it Thank you.💎

Another singing bass player

Thankfully for all,he was able to put his talents out there in the right place and time!

These guys kicked some major ass!

Also born late 58. I thought about writing a book titled The Luckiest Generation.

I told a guy the other day I missed the old days. 2024, what the fck is going on!

hear u on that those were the days ..that's what you call classic rock and roll!!👍👍👍

Born in 59 so glad I was! Going to amazing shows for $5-6! Even back then that was a steal 😅

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. 🙋‍♀️✌️

Best tone ever IMO.

From the late 60’s up until that crappy disco (I won’t even call it music) was when the great experiment that was rock music produced the most diverse and influential musicians. Great stuff

A few of my favorites from the 70's : The Allman Brothers Band = Mountain Jam (At Fillmore East, 1971) Grand Funk Railroad = I'm Your Captain - 1971 The Marshall Tucker Band = Can't You See - 1973 Lynyrd Skynyrd = Free Bird - 1973 The Outlaws = Green Grass and High Tides - 1975 Molly Hatchet = Flirtin' With Disaster - 1979

Can't argue with that 😉

Definitiv.

Amen brother

And very nice fills

Amen brother

Lmao..those were the days, unfortunately music never to be repeated

Compared to today's music? This is gold.

Hear you brother coming up on 72 but don’t feel old when I hear these old/ new songs

RIGHT! 63 BUT LISTENING TO THIS MAKES ME FEEL 15 AGAIN!

I AM AN OVERCOMER, YOU'VE OVERLOOKED JEFF BECK WHO'S STILL TOURS AND SHREDS !🎸🎼

@Timothy Gray JEFF BECK !

Try listening to some government mule

You ain't lyin! 🎸 🎶 🔥

I cant believe the garbage my 43 yrs old son likes. Trash!

Don’t call him trout for nothing 😂

@@NathanSmith-xf7rk 😂🤣😂🤣

He’s tasting it!

I think Alvin Lee in that category.

Don't forget about SRV!!!👍👍👍

Absolutely

👍🔥🔥 that is one fiery album that one and twice removed from yesterday

TRUE THAT , I have worn mine out......

TOO

Trower is in my set list and has been since highschool.

Along with Grand Funk Railroad, another great power trio.

The R&R HoF has nothing to do with Rock and Roll. The folks who run that place never heard real rock and roll.

The musician above all who truly deserves to be in the HOF is ….RORY GALLAGHER !!

​@@baliman555 And Johnny Winter.

Shows how that 💩 is a joke.

Not really. He broke out on Broken Barricades when he was still with Procol Harum. People knew he was great after that.

I remember Simple Sister from Broken Barricades and Whiskey Train from where ever. Great guitarist.

dnatz58 Whiskey Train from HOME. Both of these gems made me wonder why he was wasting his talent & being so underused with Procal Harem.

Yeah ive been studying this one and his effect are the best, timing i mean he had HUGE shoes to fill with the like of Jimi and SRV, but im not saying he's his own! This song is soooo hard to play dude like........ timing is everything and yeah he aint underatted to anybody whos ever touch strings after him.....keep this rock alive!

Like Trower but Jeff Beck can make a stat 🎸 sing 🎼🎵🎶 like nobody else can

You’re right old man, after all these years I do too...yes amazing.

Been listening from mid 80s tell now

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.

Definitely among the best. The raw work on this is everything.

My favorite of all albums.

Too rolling stoned

@@jeffheineken6709 Are you sure? You could be too rolling stoned...

Bridge of Sighs brought me to tears in my '70 Le Mans when I first plugged it into my Automatic Radio 8-Track running through two 40 watt power boosters driving four 5 inch round coaxes and four 6x9 triaxes. It was like having 375 horse headphones.

@@benscrued3698 Huh? What did you say?

Happy Birthday to RT.

@@rokyericksonroks how old is he? Got to be late 60ish, I know he's older than me at 60? 😊

"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 Trower, I love your music, you were and are incredibly musically inspirational to me.

Trower is getting close 😢

Lucky!! ❤

@@denisecluiss8098well, I’ll take your word and follow it with “bastard”

The Denver show was AMAZING!👏👍

Man I miss those days. Concerts for $5 or less with 3 great bands. We were very blessed to live through that time.

Aerosmith was the opening band? Really. And Mott The Hoople was the headlining band?? I guess we were all young dudes. Five bucks for a ticket. 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.🎸✌️☮️

Trower, Eddie Money, Wishbone Ash. I was 15, first show ever. Hung out with Bill Graham.

Saw many great shows at Winterland It was a sad day when they shut it down.

Me Too. front row for Golden Earing Dave Mason opening for everybody the Tubes new years eave with topless chorus line Trower and list goes on.

Wish I was

I think it's "always seem to find those real good breaks".

DAMN! PLAY IT BROTHER! I'LL BE 71 YRS NEXT MONTH AND TUNES LIKE THIS WILL NEVER DIE AS LONG AS US LOVER'S OF ROCKIN BLUES LIKE THIS KEEPS ON INTO OUR AMERICAN BLOOD, BY THE WAY I'M INDIGENOUS;

Yes 8 tracks do remember

>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.

Let your ears talk to your brain like you used to! Just because we advance in age we still owe it to ourselves to discover how much GREAT music there is always out there! I'll be 67 in 2 months and keep hearing awesome stuff as long as I'm awake or "napping"! Peace

@@ofthedifferencewow, has James been gone that long?

@@written12 Yes he has, but I'm betting he is entertaining the Angels! Don't the years go flying by, though? 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 RU-vid - 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. I take it you like James Dewar too; right on! I love him on the Trower/Dewar album "In City Dreams". James Dewar must not be forgotten. Thanks for responding to my post, written12; fare thee well, my friend.

Steven Stills just about took my head off with his volume same with Jimmy Page on the Page plant tour. The two loudest shows out of hundreds and both at the same Venue, Concord Pavillion they were so loud and I have spent a lot of time standing in front of 4x 12 stacks with my amp turned past 11.

Page.

@Lost Raven Me TOO! Saw him in 74 (In Philly) wen I was a mere 14-15 yr old girl!!! WAT AN EXPERIENCE! We were on the floor not 10 FEET AWAY from this GENIUS!! WE'RE NOT WORTHY!! 🙏🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🎸

You going to have a brain overload 😎

Welcome to 70’s music incredible talent.

Check out Bridge of Sighs, not the song, the whole album.

Welcome home

@@thejkyle A three-piece on the level of Rush, ZZ Top and Triumph.

Thanks for the post. Bridge of Sighs is beyond epic.

I first saw him in 1978. Then 4 times since...1984 1989 2015, 2018. He has signed all my albums, cds and ticket stubbs. A true English gentleman !

I could not have said it better. Trower is an old school professional and it shows with every move he makes. His natural chops plus the drive to always keep playing and writing, always makes him top of the list relevant.

Alvin Lee is another great 🎸 As for John Mayer I seen him with BB King and Mayer was better ( he was one with the. 🎸). As far as I am concern the older music is way better than anything today

Agreed ...sombitch ..what a sound

John Mayer is no Trower

Alvin Lee probably the best guitarist of his time. Cricklewood Green is on another planet.

Seen them in Cleveland Ohio in the 70s one thing that blew me away, when Robin plays he rarely looks at the neck of his strat. Should be in the hall of fame

Member seven years ago when you posted this

add Rory Gallagher to that list!

Don't forget Frank Marino

Are you kidding me? Jimmy Page.

@@wendysw714 overrated

@@jamesbrookfield104 Haha! According to whom? 🙄

Ok I agree.

No one moves me like Thrower does...

@@MairyHinge Bolt Thrower, the british Death Metal band??😂But I agree with you. I had heard a live Frank Marino song before this one...and was bored after 2 minutes. On the other hand, I can listen to Robin for hours. In my opinion he is the best guitarist of all time!

amazing what the players from the 70's did with just guitar, amp wah pedal, fuzz box and raw ability...guys now have a huge effects rack and can't come close to the passion displayed here.

I think you're leaving out the most important part... Trower was all about the Univibe... it would be a very different sound without it.

Vinyl is where it's at baby. No doubt about it.

Used the middle pickup...

Through good stereo headphones
