This "new" band of Robin's is very good - the vocalist really bring the old songs to life in a soulful way.

[@michaelshort1902]

Saw this man over 60 times in past 25 years. Never ceases to amaze me. No one does it better. Keep doing it your way RT.

[@merlepatterson]

The bass player is the best vocalist Robin has hooked up with in years. Well done.

[@michaeloneil8475]

Merle Patterson Davey was much better

[@josemartinvazquez-c1m]

England people, UK... Must do a statue honoring the greatest.. Feel proud of Robin's greatness. A God gifted man placed on earth to show us what the perfection is. Bravo..!!! A Latin America lifetime Robin admirer said so.

Trower fan since the 70's, nobody will ever replace the smooth voice of Mr. James Dewar RIP, this singer does well though.Trower!

[@threalismaradona9899]

Yep this kid does a fine job but their will only ever be one James Dewar

[@IMGuapo-dg1hu]

Jeff Hartwig was glancing through comments and was going to write I’ve been a big fan of his since the 70’s. I couldn’t understand why he was so underrated. He has his own unique style, as many legions do such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin- I’ve been fans of theirs back when they were the Yard Birds. Glad they changed their name. Anyway Trower should be as well known as they. He is in my eyes, and millions of others. Rest In Peace James Dewar.

[@jimdonovan8213]

@@IMGuapo-dg1hu i don't think he was ever underrated. i think u missed the boat on Trower, his time was the mid 70's with his best records, selling 20,000 seat nightly as a headliner. He truly made his mark. You know this when u see him in nyc in the last 20 yrs, as he packs in all the players...

i saw robin trower in 1975 at memorial coliseum in portland oregon and sometimes you get lucky and get to watch and see one of the greatest ever put every ounce of himself into the music and that stratocaster that nite when he hit that one beautiful note that feeds back in this song my ears rang for three days after that concert thank you sir for all the beautiful music

[@keefarona]

Robin Trower makes every note means something.... He makes every note count, there is no wasted motion . My God I love his tone.. spoke to him on the phone once, very nice gentleman.

[@barrysims9906]

Simply put Robin's gutar speaks to my soul in a way that is just magic. Truly a musical master. Been a fan of him since 1974. When I first herd the Bridge of Sighs album. Goose bumbs every time. Great new basist Not many can do that. I could hardly tell. Thanx for the upload

[@Michael-xt6gp]

Trower is the guitar wizard.

[@keithmccaslyn2527]

I found out a few years ago Robin Trower wrote this song as an Ode and Honoring to Jimi Hendrix! Robin saw Jimi Live in Germany 10 days or so before Jimi untimely Passing. NEVER would've been a R.Trower, a Frank Marino,Stevie Ray Vaughn and the list goes on ( from A to Z) they way they are, without Jimi !! and yes I've seen Robin 3 times! I Know this is gonna piss a lot off but oh well. Robin know this shit ONLY too well,too!! Thats why he wrote day dream in the first place !!

[@trblemkr1d106]

I remember hearing Bridge of Sighs in the mid seventies in high school . I was blown away ...Back in 2006 I saw Eric Clapton then Jeff Beck and finally Robin Trower . I literally looked to the sky and thanked God ... life can be good . PK

[@josemartinvazquez-c1m]

What a man... The one and only musician, guitar player and author, a real art maker. A little few things make a day worth living.. I wait this night time every day, it's a daily plan for me to listen this super gifted, non ordinary guitarist.... Wonder if he knows what he's doing...? Unfortunately I don't ever seen him live, but if it's possible, still hoping, I'll kiss his hands and guitar.. Not joking, that great is for me. Once more **On your knees, the king is here '*

[@derby1884]

I can listen to Daydream all night long and still find something new within it after 6 hours.

[@rubytone]

derby1884 I used to have a linear tracking turntable back in the 80's. It was programmable, which means that you could set it up to repeat a whole album side or just one song. On more than one occasion, I spent the whole day in front of my canvas, painting and listening to Daydream.

[@johnhirtle4300]

I read that Robin has been recording his own bass tracks for his more recent releases.

[@jjiacobucci]

He has that same timber and raspiness that James Dewar had

[@forearthbelow]

Robin hadn't played in London for many years but did so in May 2005: the venue was heaving. The encore played was Daydream, totally off the scale: an inspired choice AND performance. I SWEAR I had an orgasm [eargasm??? lol], waves of endorphins sweeping over me. There is something about Robin's style, tone, feel, touch, that reaches ones very soul: in my music listening experience this is very rare and such that if you don't 'get' it you won't get it. This is my pathetic attempt at trying to explain why lesser mortals [Satriani, Bolin, Santana and Peter Green, Snowy White notable exceptions for me] are generally held in higher regard to the person I consider to be The Master. I feel very privileged to have seen him several times and am looking forward to the next helping in October. Long Live The Master! And thank you Mike for putting this out here for us all to enjoy. Nearly forgot: this version up there as well, STUNNING performance. Tony

[@DeadMikeConcertVideos]

i swear, every two years he comes to houston i'm trying to convince myself to see him again. yeah, it's great to here it live and loud and feel his presence, but his concerts are cookie-cutter any more with at most 3 songs changed between years... none-the-less, it is worth it to hear him live and loud while we can still enjoy his soul. so expect more video in 2021. :) btw - here is the 2019 set kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zl7Vi2pqjN6Sg5o

Robin Trower can make the guitar sing like no other !

[@radioh3d868]

Clapton is good of course, but the way Trower plays is just cooler, more fluid, constant and Hendrix-esque. Love the psychedelic blues fusion thing he's got and have learned a lot from listening to his stuff. Amazing, , underrated player.

[@pfxcooper]

He's not underrated. I bought Bridge of Sighs (on vinyl and 8-track) when it was voted best guitar album in the Guitar Player poll. I think it was 1973, maybe '74. He's been a guitarist's guitarist for 45+ years. In GP he was voted Best Guitarist for several years running and he appeared on the cover of just about every guitar magazine at some point. It is true that his band didn't play stadiums a la Stones/Floyd/U2, etc. But it has always been a nice change for me to go see him with a couple hundred people instead of 100,000.

[@morfeophantasm7435]

Oh I agree! Absolutley no one can play guitar like Robin Trower. Primary influence is Jimi Hendrix distortion and electronic boxes but what it is is English blues to to beautiful harmonic lyrical melodies done with pure yoga conentration! He is almost enlightened by now. I saw him play Tampa stadium in 1975 with James Dewar and my God man no one can play guitar like that! I love Jimi Page and Jeff beck and Robert Fripp but god man!

Not so fast cowboy. Clapton gives all his soul, and he's way more iconic than Trower.

[@kennethjohnson6223]

came here to ask the fans if they know the reason Robin refuses to play the finger bleeding chords to the song Jack and Jill ? super azz kicking song dunno why he forgot the chords and never ever plays it live but maybe twice in his life outside the original studio Victims of the Fury album was the very best version he ever did... the couple live versions I've seen don't even come close to the VF version.... love to know the answer to this mind boggling question? anyone anyone?

[@DeadMikeConcertVideos]

please go on twitter and ask robin directly! he may or may not answer. having seen him a lot in recent years, i can say that his concerts are pretty cookie cutter any longer with about 3-4 songs swapping out, with 2 usually dedicated to the new album. The other two seem to be a Lady Love and maybe one other floater... it'd be great to here other music live, for sure, but anything we get live from trower is a treat.

[@triumphrider9796]

Apparently recorded on a phone, which explains the excessive audience noise/talking in the background (very annoying), but Robin was great. I first saw him on the "Bridge of Sighs" tour, in the Johns Hopkins University gym, not much larger than my high school gym; later saw him at larger venues, and the last two times it's been small clubs where I was about as far from the stage as the person who recorded this. He hasn't slowed down any, looks his age but still amazing as a player, and he hung around after the last show I saw and autographed the "Seven Moons" CD I had in the car (wish I'd known he would be available for that, would have brought the "Twice Removed From Yesterday" LP).

[@DeadMikeConcertVideos]

I wasn't insulting your recording, just commenting on the crowd noise being very annoying. I don't give a damn how hot your equipment is, I want to hear the performers, not the audience conversations.
