Robin Trower - Daydream - 3/15/1975 - Winterland (Official)

[@ricksegal3065]

James Dewar voice was perfect for Trower's music.

[@gentleman4232]

Jimmy Dewar, the Pavarotti of rock.

[@MichaelStoneRichard]

I saw Robin six times in the early- to mid-'70s. Three with Procul Harum, three solo. The last performance I went to, in Flint, Michigan, was mind-blowing. I worked my way right up to the stage. Daydream was one of the songs he played when I was up close, and at one point in his solo the audience was dead silent, and Robin took it down to a whisper; I swear you could have heard a pin drop on the stage. It was the most beautiful moment I've ever experienced at a concert. Rock on, Robin!

The guitar playing of Robin Trower was so exceptional and Jimmy Dewars voice was Angelic and mesmerizing.! Mystical magic!

[@grayotis]

Robin Trower had such a tone and touch and soul...one of my favorite players ever. However, Jimmy Dewar had one of the best voices in rock and will forever be the unsung hero of that great band. Great song...

Nobody has ever dialed a Strat’s tone better than Robin, it’s perfect. And James’s voice, the dude could sing the phone book and it would still bring me to tears.

[@patmarshall6917]

I saw you guys in Md in75 it was my first concert I was just 9 years old the best show in my life

[@haraldlambert6780]

Dewar was great, that's right.

15, my first concert at Winterland. Journey was incredibly good (before Steve Perry) Robin Trower was even better. Thanks for posting this!

Seriously. A commercial in the middle of Robin's solo? That's damn near sacrilegious!!!

Hate it, but so glad a I was just introduced, by a neighbor, who this man is.

Oh James Dewar if only you knew how AMAZING you were, so sorely missed xxxxx

[@rstoll45]

Mr Dewar's voice fit perfectly with Robin's guitar work. There will never be another.

[@davidgilmour7091]

I so major agree with you...they have been my favorite for decades..they spolied me and I cant even listen to blues bands in my city anymore, they bore me lol..Robn Trower, the King of blues.

[@RoarOfWolverine]

You got that right. Robin alway had such a great tine to his guitar and nothing had such a smooth tone as Jimmy Dewar’s voice. None of these older songs from Bridge Of Sighs era sound right without Dewar’s unique voice. I really miss that golden voice. Luckily we still have Trower’s awesome guitar to enjoy, but damn it ain’t the same without Jimmy. RIP Jimmy.

[@univibe23]

Match Made In Heaven!!!

[@threalismaradona9899]

They were a perfect pairing I was too young to catch him with Dewar but I have seen Robin several times since the 80's there will never be anyone that can replace James not that Davy Patterson was not a great substitute and his latest bass player is very close however James will always be the greatest imho. Robin just keep getting better I wish I had a tenth of his talent and his tone.

[@gregboy59]

1974 first concert of my life..... Robin Trower opened (not) certain but I believe sly and Family Stone in Omaha at the old Civic auditorium. Trower should have been the headliner! Those were great times! Still have the ticket stub

[@jimkostan9932]

This is truly one of Robins most purest, Cleanest and Soulfulness than any other recordings,& Robin improvises, greatly, what are the most underrated guitarists ever !!!

[@whimbird6538]

James Dewer had the sweetest singing voice. Full of heart.

[@DavidDeans-j5m]

Robin's guitar has a voice that is unique. You can hear a couple of notes and you know it's him. He weaves a slow bluesy bend throughout this solo that is so cool.

[@jeffbogue3718]

There is a petition to get Robin Trower into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame I signed it and I suggest if you love his music as much as me that you sign it too, so far it only has 71 signatures which seems like a bad joke to me

[@retiredbecktek]

I'd sign it in a heartbeat

[@alexbucko48]

Seen these guys in the early eighties incredible band

[@deborabachand2999]

Where do you go to sign?

[@lisaayers1975]

Where can we sign it ?You mean he is not already in it..wtf

[@piggyroo100]

He’s too good for that garbage

[@Avrillo-gf7tx]

What a song…. I absolutely love early Pink Floyd with Syd Barrett and also Robin Trower from ‘68 with Procol Harum & later his own bands. This recording phenomenaly beautiful. I have to add I tend to prefer his slower tempo songs but I’ve been so lucky to have seen him so many times that I’ve lost count. Amazingly I saw him with his lovely wife on a bus with no roof in West Cornwall coming back from Land’s end! I saw him live that day later in St.Ives, Cornwall. U.K. THE gig was overfull and like felt like MAGIC. There was a shoal of dolphins in the bay that day and a huge full moon. Magical day for me!

[@MairyHinge]

It sounds magical🪄

[@deborabachand2999]

My husband, gone now 17 years, turned me on to this song. Love it!!

[@jamestonguet1737]

I was at this show !! Robin was showing of his new 50,000 watt system ... hell yeah

[@mikecantele9986]

Yep

[@thierryc5544]

"Robin Trower Live" 1976 was one of the records I listen the more at this period. Great player, fantastic feeling and tasty notes !

[@tottathureson2609]

Only one singer could compete with James... Paul Rogers.

[@jasongoodrow949]

I was at this show as a kid. Sat in the line all day but ended up sitting in the balcony. I loved it. I seem to remember multiple encores. My favorite Trower track and Mike Bloomfield told he it was his as well. He had respect for Trower.

[@swaziithegreat]

I wish I had the people of my generation who could understand this music and we can jam to this together. 😟For now, I only have my Dad to enjoy this music with.

[@Avrillo-gf7tx]

I get you. My brother was only 3 years younger than me and he and his mates hated Trower! It was generational mostly but the only thing I didn’t like about my brothers mates!

[@waynedefrancesco4423]

Dewar's vocals are so effortless. He's so good it looks like he's not even breaking a sweat.

[@SotirisVasileiadis]

On of the best blues songs, one of the best rock-blues trio, what a voice! and the guitar vibarato is top, remember i was 17 trying to learn the guitar parts by ear back in 1979 absolutely amazing.

[@eckdavid2472]

This is one of the best performances ever, really just superb. I don't think words can capture its beauty.

[@annagay4505]

My favourite drummer with Robin and James. Respect to Bill.........

[@1960gal]

First time l heard this song was this live version. For me it tops all others. James Dewer's voice is sublime. Is it just me, or do most Scots have really good voices (JD, Frankie Miller Hamish Stuart)?? What an awesome guitarist. S.E London's finest

[@kyrangerman519]

Dewar's honey voice was a pure compliment to Robin's guitar mastery...

[@gregknittel4157]

I will sign it - he belongs there several times over. A Giant player -

[@carljames4862]

Trower's a given but Dewar's voice is as smooth as blue silk. Kids don't normally like their parent's music but listening to this with my dad on a crappy cassette tape in my childhood home kitchen switched something on inside me.

[@davidapanah9233]

All I can say is..why doesn't this have millions of views! An amazing performance and inspiring track to listen to. Such space between his notes creates another level to this experience.

[@janicecook1066]

I called the local radio station and requested this song, they told me it was too old to play. WTH! Unbelievable Lousy excuse!

[@jamespardee9300]

The tone is such a feature that you need to experience it at least once on good to great quality speakers or headphones ( or even better, live) to fully appreciate and know what to listen for. great without, outstanding next level with. Some people when hearing it for the first time on low quality speakers might think it's too slow.

When I see Robin Trower, I think about my band days and how I was so influenced by his playing. I remember the first time I heard "Daydream", I interrupted my friends that were near me, pointed to the radio and said, "Who is that? THAT's how I want to play guitar"!

Phenomenal. Korean was an excellent drummer with the perfect feel for Trower, and perfectly incorporating the stellar work of his predecessor Reg Isidore. Then Dewar. One of the best voices ever in rock,particularly for the material in this band. And Trower himself1 How can you not love his playing? The tone coming thru the Marshalls, oh man….

[@johnfern1869]

seen trower play this in a small club. later in his life. it sounded frozen in time. it captivated my soul. were did all the guitare slingers go. thank god for you tube.

[@mikedavis4427]

We're out here. It's coming full circle. I have a feeling that things are going to come back around. To everything turn turn turn. Ive been playing guitar since I was a kid and always kept to my blues based rock and soul roots and have never compromised. I never cared about pop music in my time so far and I just knew someday things are gonna come back to how it was in the 50s 60s and 70s. Now I feel it's actually coming to pass! So hold tight just a little bit longer. We have a few greats out there now and mark this down on your calendar brother. MIKE DAVIS IS COMING TO FULFILL A ROCK'N'ROLL PROMISE. I don't mean to sound arrogant. I just know it. As a last note. All the guitar companies are really stepping up their quality control and coming out with instruments just like the originals to accommodate the need for this renaissance of quality guitar music that's on the horizon for this century. Not to mention the amplifiers. Peace love and soul brother!

Such a humble man, happy to be making other folks happy by doing something he was born to do.

Nothing More Melodic And Rhythmic Then Trower’s Daydream Live , So Full Of Tranquility And Jimmy Dewars Voice , Sends The Listener To Another Place In Space / Time .

[@phillipdeitch2749]

James Dewar was a very powerful vocalist. Very emotional which I think is what music really is! Evokes feelings beyond words. I don't think most people knew that the majority of the songs were written by Robin himself. He was my first real music influence as a teenager in the 1970's. I must have listened to " For Earth Below" at least 15 times a day! The last " Procul Harum" album has his initial first tribute to Jimi Hendrix, although I don't remember now the title! That song is his own vocals. I saw him play Tampa Stadium in 1976 when " Robin Trower Live" was issued and right before " Long Misty Days" came out which I loved! I always stayed with him but let go a little when all the major people began to go disco! Most powerful music influence of my life!

[@tommccarthy3052]

Agree on Dewar. One of the odd things that I came across was that the original idea was a trio with Frankie Miller singing. That would have been very interesting as FM voice was similar to Dewar's. Also saw him in '76 @ Winterland in SF (Tommy Bolin opened the show) and this song was the highlight. I think the Procul Harem song is "Song for a Dreamer" (the LP is "Broken Barricades". Last time I saw him - 5 years ago - he was doing all the singing.

[@GrizzlyUrsusArctos]

What an absolutely killer player. He was so awesome back then, still rollin' along today & sounding as good as ever, really. That power trio of him, Dewar & Isidore was untouched. I love all kinds of killer newer stuff, lots of modern heavy stuff etc., but nothing now compares to this killer era of guitar blasting....it was just a regular thing, to see musicianship of this calibre back then; even though guys like Trower were at the top of the heap.....

[@MaxWindshear]

A friend and I saw Trower at a small nightclub back in the 80's. While waiting in line to get in, we saw some roadies hauling equipment through a nearby side door. We asked someone to keep our place in line for a bit, and went into the club through that door. Trower was on stage, playing some licks, adjusting his equipment, playing some more, etc., and we were like 8 feet away watching this, and there was like nobody around to hassle us. We were both in bands at the time and loved his music, so we were just digging it. We finally dragged ourselves away and got back into the line, just as they were letting everyone into the nightclub.

[@thomasadams196]
