James Dewar, one of the most under appreciated vocalist and bassists in rock history.

[@cheveroletllnova2672]

He's equal to Paul Rogers! Two Gods!

[@tyronesharp401]

You know that

[@stuartt6017]

Absolutely - and Bridge of Sighs has to be one of the most complete albums ever.

[@LaserRanger15]

agreed

[@mikemarcott4888]

I totally agree my man

[@jjamesmcguire6343]

Been listening to Trower since I'm 14 and I'm 65. Never gets old! That style of Blues Rock stemming from the Hendrix psychedelia world always lights a torch. I've always loved Robin's awesome strat tone. You always know it's him within the first 2 notes! He has such killer control with an amazing vibrato! Makes it just sing. I must say, as a guitarist myself, I've learned a lot from him over the years. And of course he's still at it, just releasing a new album a few months ago! Keep on Blues rockin Robin!!!

16/17 years old , drinking too much , smoking too much , listening to this and other 70s masterpieces and still 30 years away from realizing how lucky I was to be born in '58 ! A time of peace ( Vietnam ended ) heaps of work , relatively safe communities, the worst thing you could catch was crabs and the very best of music, concerts and parties ! Hate to be too negative but as the sun sets on this little go at it....you can have what we got now ! Over and out !😎👍

[@vearkenstone2670]

Also born in 58. We had a great concert hall in my town, all of the great bands came thru there. We were allowed to toke in the basement of the great hall before the concert, decades before weed became decriminalized in our state, we were sure to get there abt an hour before the concert started. Getting caught drinking alcohol tho and u were escorted out of the great hall immediately. There were police in tht basement with us. , they were so nice to us. I miss those times, things were way different then. 🙋‍♀️✌️

what a great band. I do believe that the 70's produced the very best music.

[@thomasbeaman9780]

From the late 60’s up until that crappy disco (I won’t even call it music) was when the great experiment that was rock music produced the most diverse and influential musicians. Great stuff

[@seymourscagnetti1413]

A few of my favorites from the 70's : The Allman Brothers Band = Mountain Jam (At Fillmore East, 1971) Grand Funk Railroad = I'm Your Captain - 1971 The Marshall Tucker Band = Can't You See - 1973 Lynyrd Skynyrd = Free Bird - 1973 The Outlaws = Green Grass and High Tides - 1975 Molly Hatchet = Flirtin' With Disaster - 1979

"Too Rolling Stoned" established Robin Trower's fame as a rock guitarist. His guitar playing on this song is supernatural. This tune is one of the best blues rock tunes ever recorded. This is the kind of song that would make mere mortal guitarists want to quit playing.

Not really. He broke out on Broken Barricades when he was still with Procol Harum. People knew he was great after that.

I wasn't even alive when this music was popular, but it just goes to prove that great music transcends time. I wish stuff like this was still being made today.

[@ofthedifference]

>Stan Kowalski Your comment made me think back to the first time I heard Robin Trower & James Dewar - although there were albums before the first one I heard, which was "In City Dreams" - I went out and bought it immediately and was a devotee from then on. It was a magic time to be alive with all the outstanding music coming out. Trower and Dewar were really unique and they fit each other like a glove. Trower from England; Dewar From Scotland. If you liked what you heard here, check out all the other Trower albums that James Dewar was on. To name a few, "Bridge of Sighs" is one of their best but they're all good. "Long Misty Days," "For Earth Below," Twice Removed From Yesterday," "In City Dreams", "Caravan to Midnight," ..... Many more. Sadly, James Dewar died far too soon in 2002 from a genetic illness he had from birth. But Robin Trower is still pressing out albums and going on tour now in 2021!! Better than ever,too.

[@michaelwertzy9808]

Let your ears talk to your brain like you used to! Just because we advance in age we still owe it to ourselves to discover how much GREAT music there is always out there! I'll be 67 in 2 months and keep hearing awesome stuff as long as I'm awake or "napping"! Peace

[@written12]

@@ofthedifferencewow, has James been gone that long?

[@ofthedifference]

@@written12 Yes he has, but I'm betting he is entertaining the Angels! Don't the years go flying by, though? James had an exceptional voice - he wrote a Christmas song with a colleague other than Robin that is just beautiful; it's kind of obscure but I found it here on KZbin - I think it was called "Hosanna" but I might have spelled it wrong. Do a search here using the words "James Dewar Christmas song Hosanna" and it should come up. It's well worth looking for - James did the lead vocal and it's accompanied with a home-spun neat video. I take it you like James Dewar too; right on! I love him on the Trower/Dewar album "In City Dreams". James Dewar must not be forgotten. Thanks for responding to my post, written12; fare thee well, my friend.

The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge's English name was bequeathed by Lord Byron in the 19th century as a translation from the Italian "Ponte dei sospiri",[1][2] from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells.

Bridge Of Sighs is one of the most powerful Blues/Rock songs ever written, played and recorded. Too Rolling Stoned is also a classic. Come on now, you have to give credit where credit is due.

I could not have said it better. Trower is an old school professional and it shows with every move he makes. His natural chops plus the drive to always keep playing and writing, always makes him top of the list relevant.

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Alvin Lee is another great 🎸 As for John Mayer I seen him with BB King and Mayer was better ( he was one with the. 🎸). As far as I am concern the older music is way better than anything today

[@lonesometinman3147]

Agreed ...sombitch ..what a sound

[@tubularbill]

John Mayer is no Trower

[@rainbow2710]

The drummer did a fab job too!

[@RickCervantes-pv4sz]

What a Killer, Kick Ass Performance!!! 🤟🤟🤟

[@Boy-iv7el]

Best example of robins incredible tone , shear speed , accuracy and lightening fast string bends and vibrato pushing blues guitar too the limits , I’ve never heard anyone play blues like that before and probably never will , and it’s also a great track

[@hankjones1895]

Joe bonnamossa

[@lynnpuerner8521]

Gary Moore "I've still got the Blues for you"

[@johndifrancisco3642]

The most under rated bass player ever.

[@jamesh1369]

Most underrated singer too.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Jimmy Dewar was a monster bassist, and as a vocalist--nobody snarled like Jimmy. He was so soulful. Give a listen to his solo record Stumbledown Romancer. You will be blown away.

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

I thought Paul McCartney was the most underrated...

[@user-ss5gs2jt8u]

RobinTrower one bad ass guitar was lucky to see him live he was fucking Great 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mennobults6464]

What a great "Ghost from the past". Right back in the '70s, were a lot seemed fantastic. The music was. Robin Trower was a true master. A '70s guitarplayer par example. Lots of players who are clueless of by whom they have been influenced. Well.... that might be mr. Trower himself.❤😎

[@darrylmoore127]

I agree with you about Dewar , not only his voice but his bass playing . I play classic rock bass . he is deffinetly really great at both .. Todays players can't play bass like that , they need clic trac s they don't know how to stay in time without it and singing is done with. Autotune . These Talents are Very Rare now .. I am 56.grew up playing classic rock sometimes along with vinyl playing when not playing in a band.. Here is to James Dewar. Thank You and too Robin also.

[@mikebarker7626]

Fantastic band, Dewar is a great singer

[@michaelsmithjr.8589]

Truly one of the best

[@neiloshodges2816]

He's a great guitarist no doubt, and his facial expressions when he's playing are second to none :-)

[@mikemadden2729]

That's for sure!

[@wendysw714]

I love to hear him play... But not watch so much (due to expressions) 😲

[@wendysw714]

@Ragnar Yes, that's true for sure. I don't know... 😲

[@ButchA61]

So true.... His "blowing kisses" during solos is comical.

[@jerryb4666]

Saw Trower in 75 or 76 (can't remember for sure) with Styx as warm-up. Fourth row center seats. Amazing show.

[@sunlion8866]

As long as you remember the show...that's all that counts ;)

[@jamesbrookfield104]

Saw Trower with Head East 1975

[@robertlowery5586]

Poor Styx...

[@robertthompson5908]

I was in high school then, my friends and I went to Winterland a lot. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was at this show.

[@tonypetty6662]

Telling my age I use to play this 8 track so long I would have to let it cool off 🔥🥵 tru story brings back memories High Ones 😎

[@drewpizza4343]

the phrasing of guitar licks here, i can't. it's so fucking beautiful. The tones are spot on for creating something beyond. I was gifted the album Bridge of Sighs, and it wasn't until after my uncles passing that I've really listened to it. This type of guitar work, allows a special kind of mourning. This is legacy right here.

[@OscarGoldmanomesayin]

The tone he got from that Strat......Just incredible. Listen to the vinyl on a good stereo, You will agree.

[@giantessmaria]

amazing what the players from the 70's did with just guitar, amp wah pedal, fuzz box and raw ability...guys now have a huge effects rack and can't come close to the passion displayed here.

[@scowell]

I think you're leaving out the most important part... Trower was all about the Univibe... it would be a very different sound without it.

[@PaulRoseGuitar]

Vinyl is where it's at baby. No doubt about it.

[@frozendivots1564]

Used the middle pickup...

[@donavonmacallister3101]

Through good stereo headphones

[@RickQuercioli-qt3lp]

I can't believe how much him and Stevie sounds amazing bad ass

[@rockwoodbandcom]

I saw this dude at the Chase Park Plaza in St St. Louis and they blew the main fuse towards the end. Let me tell you. For a hotel ballroom they blew doors. I'll never forget it.

[@ed345]

Love these guys. Lot of great albums that not many people ever hear. They are missing some great stuff.

[@davidnielsen7628]

one and only. unique and original. no one like Trower
