TROWER POWER ROCKS ON IN 2024

[@jocyemichaelson7411]

No one better than James Dewar! Best rock voice ever.

[@LanceABoyle]

+jocye michaelson You're absolutely right.

[@eugenewardjr.3506]

+joyce michaelson No rock singer ever matched JD's ability to put such depth of feeling in everything he sang. Could melt even the coldest heart if it really listened. My favorite male vocalist ever.

[@rareform6747]

Blues Voice From God

[@amp279]

wow, so there are others out there with good taste in music... Rock on everyone, RIP Robin and James, may your music be rediscovered through the ages... hope you're both smashin out those tunes in some alternate universe.. peace out...

[@threalismaradona9899]

Amen to that

[@Frankincensedjb123]

You CANNOT compare this era of music to anything coming out today. So, soooooo superior. Peace!

[@mattsweeny3957]

Well..there is No one that plays at their level....Joe Bonnamassa is very good

[@stoidiuoykcuf5232]

Robin Trower is an icon. The quintessential guitarist. Anyone who doesn't like this is dead inside.

[@jimkostan9932]

Yep: People who think hes not worthy do not know about Guitar Gods." Of the 70s. He was really good in the younger days. Like the tone of his Fuzz ...He is a Guitar God. Imho.

[@dsnodgrass4843]

Anyone who doesn't like this is not your concern. It's enough that lots of us still do.

[@bryanjohnson7417]

Damn right....

[@jimkostan9932]

When Robin Trower played with Procol Harum guitar style was totally different. Then Robin heard Jimi Hendrix that was it! Claims Trower on an interview. Trowers Idol. He's a guitar God Eric Clapton never had him on any of his big events where he invited everybody but never Robin Trower! Or Frank Marino.

[@knowmusicman157]

Reg Isadore on the skins

[@johnjeffire]

RIP Jimmy Dewar...a voice for the ages. So much more from you we never got to hear...

[@roberttroxell4006]

Yes, it was so sad that he was affected and died too young from the inherited disease, CADASIL. I read that one of his daughters was similarly affected.

[@trowerz]

😥

[@martinkidd3336]

I just love the way Robin lives every note...James Dewar....THE voice.

[@neilcopeland4979]

And the drums

[@robbrandolph2088]

Sweet Jesus,,,gives me shivvvverz,,,,play on,play on....................... I am soooo blessed to have lived in their lifetimes,,,,,the Greatest,,,,,,, The 60's- the mid 70's ...60 yrs old and Still playin it LOUD ! Peace-Out

[@tornmask1]

this was the best Robin Trower rock group/band lineup ever!

[@hippydippy]

Reg Isadore was absolutely an amazing drummer!

[@b3arcub]

I miss James Dewar. He was without a doubt one of the best vocalists for this style of music.

[@sharkysings]

I agree with b3arcub Dewar was one of the best vocalists ive heard and Robin was at his peak when James was his front man ,loved Caledonia off Misty Days

[@markmortimore1]

I went to see Robin at Wembley in 1975/6 and when I tried to start my parked car outside I literally could not hear the engine fire up. My ears were ringing for days afterwards. Brilliant concert! RIPJames.

[@jakerandall123]

Trower, Dewar & Isadore, the original Trower Experience.

[@bichomaldito]

3 people aren't enough to make a power trio. It takes 3 VERY skilled and gifted performers so that the band sounds like there were even more members. Trower's was a power trio in every sense of the phrase.

[@whisky2roxy]

Greatest power trio since Cream. Nothing since comes close.

[@tskrobola]

Damn this is some serious rock n roll. Jim Dewar was the Scottish Lord of Blue Eyed Soul, RIP.

[@melodymakermark]

I had this music on a shelf for so many years while life happened. This is the soundtrack of my youth. So glad I saw this line up. Thanks for the upload, and don't nobody tell me a Brit ain't got no soul. Good God Almighty.

[@barrysims9906]

on a shelf? turntable M8.

[@JohnMoore-r7q]

I'm a 60's child, love Robin, I've been playing since I was 4 on mandolin went to guitar when I was 12 and never looked back, Robin was a huge influence on me.Rock on brother.

[@kathykuper5542]

Bring back old memories of our rock n roll days. We grew up with the best!!

[@mikehand9698]

Robin Trower - Little Bit Of Sympathy - 1974 Trower has always been amazing !!!

[@Raed911]

Thank God Almighty that Robin Trower is on my top list of favorite artists for the last two years . I'm from Saudi Arabia BTW and I'm 25 . I assume this is a proof that there's still hope 4 this generation to get rid of the man and mainstream , souless sound .

[@gareoke1330]

what a great trio, three class musicians and 1 sublime vocal!

[@whisky2roxy]

Definition of a power trio

[@KAYAKERSTAN]

How the hell is this man not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame? Should be called the Rock N Roll Hall of SHAME!

[@joeym6680]

YOUR KIDDING ME ??? ROBIN IS NOT IN ???? FUCK THAT HALL OF FAME ! THEY KNOW SHIT about music !!!

[@bluesrocker91]

KAYAKERSTAN There are loads of absolute rock legends who've been snubbed by the RnRHoF, yet they fill it up with rap and hip hop shite.... Fuck 'em, they're a joke.

[@richardfanfer4336]

DA BOMB OF TRIOS

[@Solitaire427]

KAYAKERSTAN he doesn't even make top 20 on their stupid little lists... When he should be in the top 3 for certain

[@johnb2905]

Unreal huh ... along with Jethro Tull the hall of fame voters are fools .

[@docurrhodes]

I just saw Trower for about the 20th time this past April....and he's still smokin'....I played with his back up band one night in Greensboro NC in '77...best night of my life.....Jimmy Dewar had the sweetest voice I ever heard!

[@digitalimager4946]

Let's hear it for Reg!

[@michaelharrison4423]

Im 60 i was lucky enough to see Robin Trower concert in a Club maximum crowd 721 people. Thank you Johnny Zaragoza Big Richard Jimenez for taking me there .James Murrieta and Edward Sanchez aka Bruno went too . Talk about Wonderful Memories ❤❤❤❤

[@jakerandall123]

One of the best bands to ever play. Robin,James and Reg put down the JAMMMM! What a performance!

[@rdmfleet]

WoW!! ..Thank you so much for posting this !!

[@threalismaradona9899]

Rip mr James Dewar your voice will never be silent

[@mikesilva2547]

Thank you for uploading this.

[@Mynamesalexa]

Rush Montrose ROBIN TROWER Phila Spectrum Nov, 1976 Great Concert!

[@ntesslafan]

[@pbaker1957]

Trower power,.. immense,full of attitude,string bends,big riffs,lots to enjoy,... James ,..R.I.P,.. great vocals, Robin keeps it going , howling sound , no one in this life will experience anything better, thank you ROBIN,JAMES and BILL, you are the best.

[@Stevek552]

+Paul Baker Spot on my friend! These times have unfortunately passed, but the genius, and the memories live on! :-)

[@idessaoutlaw]

REGGIE'S DRUMMING WAS THE BALLS...😎👌 BILL NEVER WAS.

[@SW-jw6il]

👉 In my eyes,,They are in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame … i’m so lucky to have grown up during such magnificent musicians & masters !!!

[@patmosher245]

Trower on guitar and Dewar’s voice......magic!

[@Express-420]

Great please check out Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs Album Review on my channel

[@marksieczko7766]

Brilliant. Robins guitar and James singing. Reg is pretty damn good 'n all. What a band.

[@cosmicman621]

...such joyous lyrics.....see and let yourself be seen...

[@raybenoit5238]

To me, james dewar's voice goes hand in hand with the robin trower sound.dewar's voice and ability to use it says to me that he could have done well fronting his own band had he chosen to.

[@justiceforall6412]

My funny Robin Trower story; we went to see Robin live. As a guitarist I looked forward to watching him play, (No KZbin then). I got so stoned during the first act that I spent Robin's entire show sitting on the floor and not seeing anything😊Those we're the days!

[@randyr55]

I saw them twice in 1974. They were the opening act at both shows and blew away the main act at both shows.

[@jamesritacco1693]

Always amazed on how such a little power trio can make so much noise. Rockin' Robin!

[@jananney]

There has never been, nor will there ever be anything like this again. Pure genius.

[@stevecavalli2249]

Every time i listen to Robin and James, it just makes me smile. Great great sounds.

[@karenfoster6644]

One of the very best of all time!

[@tornmask1]

yes his name was reggie isidore (drummer - rip) who recorded with the robin trower band 1st & 2nd albums along with james dewar (lead vocals & bass - rip)! these musician (in my opinion) were the best backing lineup for sure! though Trower had others backing musicians who were also good in most of his recorded albums, but the first two albums broke the ice for Robin Trower, cheers!

[@Gonzo9245]

Trower makes playin look so simple, you can always tell the great guitarists by their expression when they play, and have fun doin it!! trower always lights up the day!!

[@betsyrose62]

Saw him (front row) at McGuffy's In Dayton, OH bout 15 years ago. STILL crankin'-absolutely excellent show!

[@robgarrett4609]

I like Reg's cowbell @ +1:46! So did Robin and James as you can see.

[@roberttroxell4006]

Yes, Reg Isadore was a beast on the drums. He passed away due to a heart attack at age 59 - same age that James succumbed to his condition.

[@HerrSheeps]

Good spot. Never noticed that before. Reg was such a great drummer.

[@idessaoutlaw]

REGGIE WAS THE BALLS 🥃😎👌

[@caprise-music6722]

Haha awesome! They did like it!

[@fuxgood]

Thank God some of you younger guys are interested in this style. Now in my 60's, I have been fearing that the really great music would die with my generation but maybe not. FYI....have seen Robin many, many times live back in the day and as recent as March 15, 2008.

[@jakerandall123]

Robin is awesome. Saw him in 99 in the states. He can rock it still.

[@glenngamst61]

The best blues power trio ever. Superb guitar and vocals.

[@nomadtraveller100]

Excellent *TROWER*!

[@blakegregory969]

Robin is one of the most underrated guitarist ever.

[@Express-420]

Great please check out Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs Album Review on my channel

[@valhallacoldwind3362]

Brilliant from Trower & Dewar & Isadore! Different take on the drummimg that i have heard on this track performed live! Maybe the live album had Lordan drumming by then?

[@lastdaysguitar]

Robin Trower band should be a houshold name in rock history like Cream, Rush, and Triumph. RIP Jimmy

[@LeeRoads]

These guys are the best there ever will be....period. Just saw him last month...still awesome.

[@fuxgood]

Noticed that in this clip Robin is using a Marshall head with what I believe are Fender speakers. Thanks for the vid. Classic Trower. It just gets no better.

[@robertcel]

Gotta love Reg Isadore's unique style and sound. Really complimented Trower's style.

[@eugenewardjr.3506]

Robert Ellison Reg was a powerhouse of a drummer and I believe he often drove Robin to play with more even more intensity-(if that's possible)

[@tompease8810]

Who knows why these guys aren't in the hall of fame as long as we know their greatness that's what counts

[@harrynowak121]

Robin driving Fender Bassman cabinets through Marshall head? Great live sound! Master of the Stratocaster for sure! If you ever get a chance to see this guy live, DO IT!!

[@johnschofield9496]

James Dewar left us WAY too soon ! His voice was as much a part of the Robin Trower experience as Robin's guitar.

[@oldmaninthemirror]

Oh man..65 years old and still love this song

[@jitblues]

Robin Trower live! One of my favourite albums of all time.

[@dougkelle3180]

The most underappericated power trio of all time. It's no wonder that Trower is still the master of the stratocaster

[@ReverendRicktaScale]

Great performance, great song, fantastic sound !

[@csdimitris]

James Dewar had the classic blues singer voice with silky smooth bass tones that are soothing, unlike today's girly-sounding, musicians. Classic and under-rated! The standard by which his peers should be judged!

[@Freddieboy44]

IMO: The Bridge of Sighs is one of the best recordings of its era. At one time I had it on album, 8-track and cassette. I was that much into it (in the 70s). I still think it is worthy of Hall of Fame recognition. Probably is, I don't know. But Little Bit is the deal.

[@laudarevsonhunt]

Three people can't make a better noise than this.

[@sturoc0]

A great killer lineup real powerhouse trio. Saw Robin and co. with Wishbone Ash - Madison Square Garden NYC March 24, 1976 Absolutely awesome night of guitars and Wishbone was great as always too !

[@Enevan1968]

Can't help but laugh at the faces he makes, but not with the guitar playing... Man, he rocks!

[@Gromit801]

Man. I love reading the reactions of younger rockers, to music that came out when I was in high school. The late 60's to mid-70's were the best years of guitar rock. Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana......

[@mtzimm]

I saw them on this tour as a warm up act for King Crimson. The original band with Reg Isidore on drums were the best! Saw them with Bill Lordan on drums, after For Earth Below, and they kind of lost that raw-ness.

[@barrysims9906]

Legend has it that if Robin does not make a particular face his guitar will not play a certian sound

[@lanenordgren7641]

After a show in New Haven Connecticut I saw Rory outside by their tour bus. I tried to go take to him but Gary McAvoy stepped in front of me and said "nobody is bothering Rory right now." I took him at his word. 😆

[@MegaRichardw]

Saw Trower in Denver 8 times ,starting with victims of the furry tour ,and every couple years there after.last time was about 2004.I sure do miss James Dewar, Davey Pattison, was also awesome .I don`t need to say anymore, if you have seen Robin Trower you know hes the best.

[@ericligotke3542]

Best all time power trio. This song transcends

[@MajikMarcus]

Yoda whippin out some serious Jedi shit. If you have ever been to a concert you've seen it. Tiny little guy puts The Force into his playin and suddenly Majik flys. Trower was Yoda before we knew who Yoda was. He quietly laid down ballsy confident licks as a Master. No tricks, no flash, just Mastery. Rock on Maestro!!!

[@Buckaroo5]

Robin Trower one of the greatest!!

[@duwell76]

Grew up with Robin Trower when I heard my father listening to him all the time. The 2nd coming of Jimi Hendrix in my opinion. Does a lot of guitar riffs that was his trademark style. Uses a lot of 1st and 3rd string notes simultaneously with 2nd string muffled while he moves up and down the neck. Unique sound.

[@cindyscruggs192]

Thanks Doug. It's good to hear great music. Theirs nothing like hearing that Strait moon and groon. I love it. From Chris S.

[@fuxgood]

Saw Robin last night, 9/13/09. Scored the play list and had him sign it.

[@bernadettestar]

Love this! Love Robin Trower music. RIP

[@punkrockefeller]

old grey whistle test. awesome, thnx 4 posting.

[@jeffreyweibel6692]

I grew up in the 70's listening to Trower. Couldn't enjoy a great high w/o Trower playing somewhere on the Hi-fi or 8 track. I actually shoplifted the Day of the Eagle 8 track. Security saw me steal it & chased me. They were tooooooo slow. :)

[@MikeMiller-ol9zz]

He's been ending his shows with this tune forever, and it's perfect 'cause of the dramatic finality of the finish, not played on this video. Trower is amazing.

[@cao3008]

I love this song. Robin Trower, simply the best !

[@boisebusaboy]

smokin hot vocals rip james

[@robibm2003]

Man, that sucks what happened to Jimmy. Jesus, he had a soulful voice. Thanks for posting this. It was cool.

[@chetdunham3434]

great tune, great vocal

[@ronnieforey2068]

Best 3piece. Well done...crisp

[@mikey1829]

Love it….Where has all this great music gone ??????

[@kalahawk]

I was going to reminisce about watching 1.5 hour of trower band and 3.5 hr of Jethro Tull together.. but tempered to hear about Mr. Isiadore. Condolences.

[@andrewgarcia3320]

Robin Towers music touches Your soul

[@dkjazzz]

Wow !!! This is awesome ! I saw Trower about this time. Good stuff ! what tone he had !!

[@DouglasRamirez-dj7sd]

WOW !!! IT'S 2024 AND I JUST FOUND THIS !! This is AWESOME !!!!

[@Tractorman-xj4gt]

Saw them in Ludwigshafen back in the day with Thin Lizzy opening - good times !!

[@neshobanakni]

Dewar has one of the best voices ever!

[@JohnnnyJohn]

I love the faces Robin pulls.

[@briteness]

Those guys were freakin' good!
