Yea, I remember people not knowing back then that Robin was not the singer. My cousin got downright irritated with me when I suggested it. We were looking at the photos on the "Robin Trower Live" album. He was like "what do you think he's doing right there" pointing at his mouth. I said "making a funny face", which is what Robin did often. I said "where's the microphone? and then pointed to a picture of Dewer singing in to a mic on the back. "Well he doesn't sing on all of them, then". I said "I only here one voice, I also here at the end of one of the songs 'Thank you, James Dewer vocals. I'm the musician here, BTW I know these things. Boy he was pissed at the whole idea and just wouldn't accept it.

Norm Vance Agreed ,_ I would like to add that I see them as completely different animals and I don't feel it does tribute to this great band to compare them to another band just because they use strats , marshalls and electric blues. The Trower band is the magical combination of the 3 special musicians that happens so rarely, much like Cream . Love Jimi, especially his rhythm guitar comping style . Jimi was a great and colorful unique character and an innovator though also a guitarist faking his way through the vocals and his album cuts could be inconsistent and spotty . I much prefer the song writing , lyrics singing and albums of Trower. Bridge of Sighs is an album masterpiece , much like Sgt. Pepper for the Beatles. The band should have stayed with that producer and recording studio as they really know how to work with Trowers kind of band.

+Norm Vance Arguably, he was. Personally, and with all due respect to Jimi, I find SRV more palatable. I lived in Austin back in the early 80's before SRV was discovered... he was a local. My ex and I used to go see him just light it up. You could see him two nights in a row and he wouldn't play the same set and if he played the same song two nights in a row, he played it differently. SRV ruined live music for me. With one or two exceptions, every musician I've seen live since has let me down. SRV was the best I've ever seen and I've seen a lot.

I can't begin to describe all the emotions that come rushing back to me, 40 years later. It makes me sad, though, as this was such a Beautiful time span, and I miss it so. A gorgeous decade free from war, the struggles of the 60's, and the relative meaningless of the 80's and beyond. I'm so grateful to have enjoyed this time, and wish I could live it all over again. Sweet, simple and honest. Bare to the bone - where Soul was reborn and freed to take flight to skies filled with sparkling stars.... Thank you, Robin Trower, for bringing so many Souls through to raw, pure Joy and ecstasy. Your obvious utter Joy and true humble appreciation of bringing pleasure to every person in the audience through your music is unequaled. I hope to meet you someday.... I would love to hear you play Daydream again. ♥

I was at that concert what a gig. There was so much marijuana smoke in the air that I was high without actually smoking any. The crowd was rowdy and the practically knocked the barricade over in the front then a lot of event security guys came up there and righted the barricade. It was sooooo loud that to me, in the front, I could barel;y make out the songs they were playing. I was thinking they sucked and went out of the main auditorium to the foyer where there were bars and was shocked that I could hear it perfectly and it sounded awesome. THAT IS LOUD!

I've had the Bridge of Sighs vinyl for umpteen years. About 3 years ago I "actually" listened to it again. I found an appreciation that I didn't have prior. It's one of my favs now and, to me, is a timeless rock album. Wish the kids today could/would appreciate it as it deserves. As good a trio as ever.....Police, ZZ, Rush, you name it!

My brother, who is five years older, got to see Hendrix twice when he played in San Diego. He also got to see The Doors, Cream, and pretty much everyone else in that scene then. Though only 12 years old in 1969, I absolutely loved all that music (huge Beatles fan, and especially acid-rock) and really wanted to see the shows, but my Dad said no. Actually he did let me take a girl from my 7th grade class to see Steppenwolf, and then I later realized that the other band that night was Santana. In hindsight I think my Dad allowed me to go (and drove us there) because he was relieved that I liked girls. Fast forward to the 70's and all the good music from that time: Like many commenters here, I also saw Trower in 1975, and in fact saw Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith and who knows how many other bands that same year. Accentuated by ahem, substances, Trower's sustaining, brilliant and soulful guitar work took us to unknown stratospheres. He also seemed like a cool guy, with James Dewer's vocals being sublime. In that time frame tickets prices were between $2 to $7 to see actual musicians. I hear kids lament about how they only get bland, corporate and annoying "talent" these days and have to pay through the nose to see it. Hell, $20 just to park! I feel so fortunate to have lived at that time!!

AS I AM WRITING THE "COMMENT", it is May 23rd of 2015; and on this day 40 years ago, I attended a concert in Birmingham, Alabama , which featured as its headliner The Robin Trower Band, with opening act Golden Earring. Earlier that Spring, Trower had released his "For Earth Below" album; and my fondness for the radio-"hit" entitled "Shame the Devil" from that album had persuaded me to see the band in concert. I came to this posting this evening to relive that concert. ~ "Thanks" to KZitem, and "Rock on TV" !

Most of the audience left before their set was halfway through. Biggest lineup faux paux ever! And I've seen a great many concerts. At any rate, Robin, James, and Bill stole the show. Bill was from San Diego.

My all-time favorite guitarist and male singer. I've seen Robin several times but never with James. Big regrets there. I was never a fan of Hendrix, for some reason. But after hearing the song "Bridge of Sighs" my life was changed. No one puts emotion through a guitar like Trower.

Well, then there certainly isn't this version of Robin Trower without Jimi. Listen to any Procol Harum album and tell me if Trower didn't completely change his style (and his guitar) to match Hendrix. Crazy thing is, I was at this show, and many others of his at Winterland and the Keystone.

Well, except for the fact that Trower changed to a Fender Strat exclusively and played Hendrix's blues style from that point forward, not looking back at all on his Procol Harum/Gibson days, you are right. But don't believe what you hear. Just stick to your idiocy.

+Gustavo Mesquita I don't throw around words like "best" when it comes to music, because to me whatever's "best" is what hits the spot at any particular moment. But I keep coming back, over and over, to the same three guys you mention. Certainly they were three guys who could bring it, chops-wise, but they were also three guys who consistently stuck to their styles, and played with a sort of musical honesty that gives what they did a timeless quality. I'm slightly too young to have seen Jimi, but I saw Rory 3x before he died, even getting the Rory "handshake from the stage" one night. Hoping to see RT for the 3rd time (after several missed opportunities) when he rolls into town a few months from now. I never would have imagined, when I first saw him in the 1970s, that he'd still be out there, still creating and releasing new material, after 6 decades of doing it to it.

+Kurt Goff Yes, he is great, but do not forget, Albert Lee has had many. many years to hone his craft. Jimi had from his teenage years to 1970.

'Robin Trower Live' blew my mind. I listened to it for months endlessly. Went to sleep to it every night. I was naive when I first picked up the album. I assumed that Robin Trower was the guitar player and the singer. I would later find out that the singer was James Dewar (the bass player), easily one of the greatest rock/blues singers of all time,.... of all time. I mean no disrespect to Lawrence but the band was Trower and Dewar. Together they wrote and performed some of the greatest music ever performed.
