    Graduated high school in 1973. I was right after n the thick of it!!!! I knew many people who had huge LP album collections. We used to record albums onto reel to reel recorders, have 12-18 hours of non stop party songs!!!! GREAT DAYS, INDEED!!👍🏼👍🏼😎

    Not only is Robin Trower a true "Master of the Stratocaster", but he makes the best "Guitar Face" around. Check out some of his live footage for confirmation. I've had this album since 1974, and it is never too far from my turntable.

  • @bluetopguitar1104
    @bluetopguitar1104 6 місяців тому +1

    Thanks for this song. When this came out, it was a total departure from his previous sound. Robin has a very thick sweet sound that is hard to do on a stratocaster. Couple that with James Dewar who in my opinion rivals Paul Rodgers in as one of the greatest vocalists. Later on Bill Lordan, Sly Stones drummer joined the bad. The rhythm section always had a more R and B sound than a lot of hendrix influenced stuff. When I was a young guitar player we saw him at the old capital center in largo maryland . His equipment trucks with all the lights etc. didn't get there for the show. It didn't matter, they killed it. Saw him in the 90s at a club. Got pretty close. Still playing and he sounds awesome. Thanks, what a teenage flashback!!

  • @CliffordLake
    @CliffordLake 6 місяців тому +11

    "Stark: When I listen to the recently released re-master of Bridge of Sighs, which was recorded back in 1973, is still so fresh and not dated at all.
    Trower: No, a lot of that is down to the engineer. Geoff Emerick was the top of the tree around that time. He'd done the Beatles stuff. The thing about him is he was very musical and had incredible musical ear. It wasn't just sound to him, it was music.
    Stark: How was it recorded?
    Trower: Mostly live in the studio, some of the solos as well, but mostly we would put down a backing track and I would do the solo and Jimmy the vocals on the top. Things like the long solo on Too Rolling Stoned and Little Bit of Sympathy - they are live."

    • @MissAstorDancer
      @MissAstorDancer 6 місяців тому

      Thanks for that!!!!! I actually remember that the person who bought this album for me for my 21st Birthday that summer of '74, told me that Emerick produced it, knowing that would interest me, as a huge Beatlemaniac. The production on this album is just fantastic, and I agree with Robin that his production is what makes if still sound fresh today.

Fabulous British guitar player and the singer/bassist was stellar too. Listen to that muted guitar chuggling along behind the verse..... !!! Yet ANOTHER British blues player. And those sicks on the closed high hats....!!!! Wonderfully mic'd. Keep on Rocking young sir.

    When I was a teenager listening to this album in 1974, I thought it was neat how the cover perfectly illustrated the album’s sound.
    Today I learned that James Dewar (so great) was the vocalist, not Robin Trower and that Too Rolling Stoned is my favorite now by far, not Bridge of Sighs, as it was back then. So interesting. A little revelation. 🙂
    Thank you Lee and Roy! It was good to discover these things. I’m not the same as I was…

    I used to have Bridge of Sighs on reel-to-reel. Not sure what became of it. Their first four albums are all equally outstanding, imo. I'd be hard pressed to pick one as my favorite. And I'd kill to have a uni-vibe of that vintage. Nothing else sounds like this and no one knew better what it was for than did Robin.
