There is no guitarist alive today, that plays with the emotion with the nuance of Robin Trower. It seems as if every note matters. It does not hurt that he is playing his best song. I recall scoring front row tickets to Trower at The Ridgefield Playhouse. When Daydream ended, I stood and turned and implored the audience to do just the same. The standing o lasted for over a minute. Mr. Trower deserves at least that.

[@forearthbelow]

@Alan Boston, I'm a long time fan as well - you wouldn't know it from my username lolololol. To me, on many occasions, it seems that the next note he plays is the most perfect that could have been chosen to follow the preceding one and so the cycle repeats. A rare talent indeed and his music has been so much part of my life.

@@williamkoestner1400 It depends on whom do you refer to by "they". I get that probably you're thinking of casual listeners who vote in magazines polls and incompetent "music journalists". That's not being underrated, but just neglected/ignored by poorly informed people. I think that people who's really into 60's, 70's and 80's rock and blues-rock are well aware of Trower's greatness.

[@crusheverything4449]

I couldn’t agree more, Gino. Davey sounds so much like original Trower vocalist, the late, incredibly great James Dewar, that it’s uncanny. I was lucky enough to meet Davey after a Trower show in 1988 and mentioned how close the vocals sounded to the original versions and he told me he was “great mates” with Mr. Dewar and they were from the same area of Scotland! That blew my mind!! I wish Davey was still singing with Robin, as I’m not big on Robin’s vocals, unfortunately. Also, I see you spelled Davey’s surname correctly. It is, indeed, Pattison and he’s a great singer in his own right.

Sometimes you can tell something about the player from how they play and their sound. Robin's music always gave me the impression that he is his own man.

[@michaelkarlsson5966]

I'm not looking for a fight or anything but I really want to know what that phrase "he is his own man" means? How would he play if he wasn't "his own man"? 🤔

[@f9qo]

Michael, I guess you have not heard that expression before.... It means that he is not being subject to another's pressures or copying others, something like that, not merely being a follower。 He relies on his own efforts and or senses and ambitions. In this case, his own creativity, being an original artist. Robin has his own sound. Generally it is an expression that is complimentary when directed at someone......or it could also be non-complimentary as well, say if someone never listens to advice and it gets them into trouble.

@Brad zybola Lots of the old 70s rockers had to settle for smaller venues when they faded from the charts, but Robin used that to his advantage. The album Passion with Dave Pattison on vocals was killer IMO. A lot of people I knew at the time re-discovered Robin diring this time. No matter when, he's always been a favorite of mine.

@Roger Williams, replying to your first post here. If there was a sadness in my concert going or recorded music listening it is that Robin doesn't seem to have done any work with the AMAZING vocal talent that is Glenn Hughes, once of Trapeze. Most mesmerizing vocal performance I have ever seen maybe 3 years back now, he well into his 60's - and I say that with no aspersions aimed at the superb Davey Pattison whom I REALLY like as a vocalist with Robin, but who seems to insist he sing Dewar heavy songs

This album was given to me and i still have it (many jams later). In '73 the late great KSAN played Daydream on FM radio. Bought Twice...as quick as possible. I don't play as much as i'd like but when i do, some Robin is there. Huge influence. ha, loved when an interview not long ago discussed his Sig Strat and pick -ups. Can't recall what the neck and middle slot have but he said to Fender "Put whatever you want in the bridge position. I never use it." Also, props to Davey Pattison here. He sounded perfect.

I sat front row for his last tour. When Daydream ended, I stood and turned and implored the audience to stand. They did for a very long ovation. Robin Trower is my all time favorite guitarist. He plays with such nuance. Every note matters. Every time I see Mr Trower, it takes one note for me to be reminded of what genius is. I get chills and more chills every show. I leave completely worn out from the unrelenting beauty, from the emotion he can make us feel with each and every note. For a long time, Rory Gallagher was my fave (where is the Rory G video??). Mr Trower is now number one. I can not give higher praise that surpassing Rory Gallagher. Thank you so much for letting a few more learn of this musical genius.

Robin Trower is the unsung guitar master of the British Blues 1960s. Very few have ever squeezed so much out of a note and vibrato'd it at that speed. When I first saw him with Procal Harum, I was totally surprised by Robin. This guy should make you cry with joy.

Wow Again! Spellbinding for sure. I wasn't gonna post on this, tho i enjoyed it much! . I saw Robin live in '85 at the Austin Opera House. Not with his normal band. But still a good show.

At the Armadillo World Headquarters for $5 bucks!!! Lol! What a great show it was. I'm impressed that this is Davey Pattison singing here, since he's real close to James Dewar on this performance. Totally nails the song and is awesome. As is Trower who I've been jamming to since Bridge of Sighs.

Got to see Robin in the good old days .And saw this band in a small club years later in San Rafael , CA . Catch what interests you while you can . Life is short .

Trower power - 2:45 to 3:01 - just one string, one finger, one note at a time with hands of steel & nuclear powered wrist vibrato. My favorite “rock” guitar player, ever. I’ve heard them all in 63 years.

Sheer class. The quintessential British/strat tone and a muscular vibrato to boot! Glorious.

I feel so blessed to have seen him back in the 80s here in Dallas at the Arcadia Theater.

Very much like a soulful Hendrix. A bridge between Santana, Hendrix and Stevie Ray. After Hendrix died, there was nowhere to turn to but Robin Trower, back in the day. Thanks so much for your analysis and the video, you are the best. Rock!!!
