Robin Trower - The Fool And Me - 3/15/1975 - Winterland (Official)

[@DearMr.Fantasy]

There will never be another Bill Lordan on drums, James Dewar on bass/vocals, and Robin Trower. The fact that these 3 are not in the RRHOF is a crime. Trower Power forever and ever.

[@timwanwick179]

BIG AMEN !!!!!🙋

[@michaelbuckley3040]

The hall is missing a spectacular array of bands and artists

[@kevinkinnu341]

💯

[@leeallred1337]

agreed he need to be in the RRHOF! for dure!!!

[@robertpiekosz7470]

Fuck the hall of Fame! It's turned into a political shit show

[@georgebirch5635]

Absolutely the best version of The Fool And Me ,by far! I'm a lifelong Trower fan and it's a crying shame Robin seems to have been overshadowed by Clapton, Beck and Page in the 60's and 70's, and E. Van halen, SRV in the 80's. Robin certainly has his following, but I feel he's so much better than most people think.

[@ThomasRogan-gc5pi]

@@georgebirch5635 A true guitar 🎸 HERO

[@ScottOlsen-lj9wk]

I totally agree big time lifelong fan , seen him live several times.

[@TheWhippetmaster]

Robin and Uli jon Roth are the only 2 that could play valid Hendrix style in the 70's. Love them both :)

[@richardprisuta8150]

He is amazing live, sounds like 2 people playing 😊!

[@andrebitoff3726]

Saw him in Procal Detroit. 72?

[@4syth]

My 5 year old daughter: What’s wrong with that mans face? My 9 year old son: That’s what happens when the music comes out of your body and into the guitar. Proud Dad moment

[@toddvandell85]

4syth definitely. Knew that at 9. Truly awesome.

[@giftedplanksify]

Just tell them he's a Pollack ☺😚😙

[@wildtaz086]

Smart kid

[@donniewarren1212]

Be proud dad. Very proud...😎

[@ambriadanielsband4132]

Dave that was a very effed up comment LOSER

[@jimsamas8251]

James Dewar was a one of a kind vocalist. Incredible tone. R.I.P. forever.

[@reemclaughlin4260]

God Bless Jimmy. They just found a newly unreleased song by him with a different band. I’m on a REALLY old phone and can’t link it. KZbin search: James Dewar Word for Word. Enjoy!! ☮️♥️🎼

[@eileengibson712]

Very true. Magic was being made here

[@sblunderaz]

i have to agree great sounding vocals and band as whole i am an oldtimer 69 years young and still jamming on all kinds of music

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Yessss, while playing bass too, very hard to do both at same time well.

[@jasminefairchild8591]

I AM !!!! Was too young first time around

It’s like his finger’s barely moved, yet all these notes came pouring out. What an absolute phenomenon he was and still is.

[@eileenmoore2490]

The most underrated band!

Trower makes the best guitar faces!

[@aschule5684]

Robin is the king of "guitar faces" 👍☮️

[@jonleonoudakis9623]

Hot damn! This is real music made by three monsters live and in person. No synthesizers, auto tune, big sets, fancy lighting, dancers, or candy-ass BS, just get down and kick butt blues-rock-Nendrixian guitar. I saw this trio back in the day and they absolutely crushed it! Thank you, Robin Trower!

[@c172215s]

Nothing wrong with synthesizers. you still have to play the notes.

[@lauremehrkens5891]

I love all of you, my fellow Trower fans💕!!! He is the best, ever!!!

[@Vet-7174]

You betcha !! 💞

[@timwanwick179]

Back Atcha!🙌

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Yes, love Trower!! Nice to see lady love for him too!💓😎

[@alext9067]

Bass player (I'm sorry, I have now forgotten his name, again) was such a valuable asset to the team. The tragedy that he passed away due to a chronic illness. Great hand coordination and voice. Never to be replaced.

I believe you. I am friends with his now drummer Chris Taggart

[@muchopomposo.6394]

Jimmy Dewar's voice is as good as it gets, here! One of the best voices in world music!

[@ThomasRogan-gc5pi]

Robin Trower absolutely a guitar 🎸 God! Still tours go out and see him 😊

[@infinitejest441]

I did, twice ❤

[@greglogan7706]

Dewar's voice is the instrument that made this rock!

[@tobyfountain414]

I think Robin Trower has the best vibrato I've ever heard... That first solo is so smooth and fluid!

[@TaxPayingContributor]

He's somehow controlling it through facial contortions! Great music!

[@anthonydallago2971]

The best index finger vibrato. That is super heavy to achieve. Jimi, Robin,SRV had that. Ring finger as well but many get that.

[@jimsamas8251]

Robb Trower’s legendary guitar licks just suck the air out of you. Nobody has that style. Marvelous!

[@jimmyburnett-tb1vg]

The ultimate guitar faces on " the fool & ME,,,,

[@alanthompson3543]

I'm a guitar player. "That's" happy faces😊?

[@alanthompson3543]

I hit the wrong button.😮 I meant " THAT" is happy faces!!!! That's better 😊

[@PeteMonzingo-ff8ls]

Witnessed Robin Trower back in the 70s past, Awesome live concert!! They were a band of the good old days. I remember the concert ended under applauding. The crowd left, but not 45 fans. They came out and played another 45 minutes of unreleased songs. Mind blowing, that's for sure!!

[@justintyme2764]

That guitar truly knows how to play a Robin!

[@edt.5118]

This is off topic, but i missed out seeing so many bands because my ears could not take the volume.

[@pattimartin7250]

Jimmy Dewar. 50 years, and he still is unequaled..I watch and listen and think just 3. No auto tune, Just a power trio, that still rings true, 50 years later. Mr. Dewar, and no one else can, like he does.

[@paulcrosby3664]

Somebody help me pick my jaw up from the floor. I saw Trower back in the mid 70s, and I know I loved his guitar playing but damn, I think I forgot how utterly amazing he was/is.

[@tahoemike00]

I had an older brother by 5 years, so I grew up listening to my bothers music. Rock, good rock. And I remember being blown away when I heard Trower. Snuck my bothers albums and played Trower for friends. One friend called it "tough music" when he heard Trower. "Man, that's tough music, the guitar playing is far out. (yeah we were children of the 60's) Not many years later at 16 years old I found myself at Winterland in San Francisco at a Robin Tower concert, totally grooving on "tough music" I have all of Robin's albums from my brothers collection. (vinyl, look it up kids lol) My brother has since passed, but I will crank up some Trower to "11" for my brother, wherever he may be listening.

[@fredfloyd68]

Can it get any better !!! Robin's secret weapon...JAMES DEWAR...

[@dennisgreenwald1577]

I saw Trower in n.o. with procol harum & then a few months later at the same place on his solo tour with Jimmy dewar & a very impressive drummer.

[@ECwashr]

James Dewar, RIP, my favorite singer, what a voice!!

[@markmorse4206]

Rock and roll hall of fame, they should be for sure:)

[@phatbackbeat6553]

Robin is so under appreciated ! His percussive rhythm guitar and phrasing is wonderful.., and way over looked.

[@johntierney9854]

Was in front of James for this show leaning on the stage. Loved it! managed to see him 11 times all together...The best!

[@bryantcochran5065]

I have always prefered the 3 piece band concept. I knew Jimmi Hendrix and always wanted to meet Robin Trower and Jeff Beck. Those 3 were and are my heroes and influencers in music.

[@michaelsterling7521]

Never disappointed seeing Robin Trower always a great show! Just another awesome guitar 🎸 player In a long line!!

[@mikeroberts9501]

Now that's some serious guitar work.

[@kickinbackinOC]

One of the greatest guitarists of all time, and certainly my favorite.

[@BobbyBecker-t9j]

YES, ROBIN TROWER IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARIST IN ROCK. DEFINITELY.BOB😊

Robin Trower is an English Lord of blues rock.

[@markarrivi3818]

Mr James Dewar Yes

[@merrillcraig9858]

Love James Dewar - powerful, melodic voice. All soul! For some reason he's a little flat on this live version vs. studio

[@williamb4616]

he’s not flat,

[@saxonsteve]

KILLER VOCALS!!! RIP MR. DEWAR!!!

[@jimmyclifton8156]

Was there for that show! So many great concerts at Winterland! I was lucky to have been able to enjoy and see so many great groups there! Saw Robin with Procol Harum in 1967 in Germany. They were on first before The Bee Gees!

[@THE_WOAT]

"You can't play super funky rhythm riffs in a hard rock song"... Robin "hold my beer"

[@roberthomiak5003]

James Dewar was such a talented singer and bassist 👌

[@kylepayne9315]

Never Gotten The Credit He !!! DESERVES !!! One Of The BEST If Not The BEST

[@Ledprostate]

I actually heard a Trower song floating from the sound system of a Shop Rite grocery store here in Belleville, NJ! Thought I had died and gone to heaven. What are the odds! Somehow the management came to their senses and started playing classic rock for the shoppers. What magic. James Dewar's voice is to die for!

[@merrillcraig9858]

That is awesome. You can hear them in the friggin grocery store but they never mad to the hall of fame?? wtf??

[@jrmckinney3732]

This is one of my very favorite pieces of music. Robin Trower was somthing...

[@WestShoreMan]

Still is! He is still touring!

[@WillyCLARKE-g8c]

Trower ruled at this point. Hands down.

[@JimMason-ei2kz]

My favorite guitarist of all-time! Anytime Robin came to perform in the Toronto area, the concerts were always sold out!!

[@BobbyBecker-t9j]

YES, THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS OF ROCK HISTORY.THEY DESERVE TO BE IN THE ROCK H,OF,FAME. BOB😊

[@joelsimpson7896]

One of the greatest Wah player’s!

I was there. 18 years old and feeling all of it. Three guys and so much music. Simple. A very memorable concert. Thank you for sharing.

[@robertrough6753]

So was I, at 14. With Stepdad and uncle. We blasted Trower all the time. Best concert ever. Better than han the he Stones at the Cow Palace.

[@drewburgess3039]

@@robertrough6753 Yes. I saw the Stones at the Cow Palace-an extravaganza for sure. The Trower show was tight by comparison. Thanks for responding:)

These guys are all together tight and tasty funky and Sassy Robin is a hell of a guitarist obviously so is James Dewar and Bill Lordan one of my favorite Power trios

[@stratovani]

Best guitar face ever!

[@johnchildress6133]

Saw Robin at Gilligan's in Modesto, California in 1993(?) they were great! I stood right in front of him 5 feet away, stage was only 3 feet high. Totally great!!!

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Saw Robin Trower in 2019, man was on fire and still has “it”. His bassist was very good, as was drummer. Music had me in a heavyyy trance, hypnotic, he’s got the best “guitar face”. Massive talent, he and his guitar become one. First heard of him way back in 1974 when older bro added “Bridge of Sighs” to album collection. Blew my 15 yr old socks off! Love you Robin Trower❤

[@guitarman6742]

Wow!! What a performance by Robin Trower...and everyone.

[@ernestregister9832]

Robin's guitar and James' voice, his visionary style of playing, singlehandedly changed the type of music l love and listen to today. Thank you Robin, and you Mr. Dewar!! (RIP)✌

[@Wes-tg5xw]

One of the Greats with a unique original style. Whole band was phenomenal.

[@photopicker]

My first concert. : Pablo Cruise, Journey, Robin Trower - We were 16. Winterland was an epic concert hall. The whole scene was a mind bender for a guitar kid wannabe and adults alike. I blew through 2 or 3 copies of Bridge of Sighs learning every note including this song. We had no tab, no internet. We had vinyl and the will to use our ear to suck every note out that was possible.

[@karlfisher1864]

Robin had way too much fun with the end of this song! Excellent. Karl

[@harveyharmon6643]

I wore the grooves off this album....
