Bridge of Sighs one of the best albums of the 70's, and live Trower's guitar prowess and Dewar's whiskey soaked smooth vocals were great!
a VERY, VERY RARE " NO CLUNKER " ALBUM!! cheers
Robin Trower used to play in Clearwater Florida at a bar called Jeffries on Missouri and Highland in October around my birthday great guitarist
Yes. Thanks for the post. Bridge of Sighs is absolutely epic.
So many great memories from Winterland. I never saw poop on the street back then. 😮
James Dewar, a one of a kind voice? Smooth as butter. Robin never really could replace him after his early demise.
Bridge of Sighs is still one of my favorite albums ever...…..
Mine too!
I concur.
That's a great song also
Mine as well!!
Oh, fifty years ago it came out. I heard it on WQDR FM in NC. Had to have the album.
The 70’s sure were great. I was a teenager back then and when I look back things sure were great. The music the cars the parties. Good times.
Yep, I couldn't agree more !!
You are so right,great memories
Well said...and so true!!
"The best of times"!!!!
Yep, we had it so much better than where the world is today.🤘🏼
I remember when this album was released, it sold out so fast that it took 5 months to get it in stock again, I heard it was a national shortage, but it was so worth the wait. Awesome musicianship and vocals!! Never ever gets old!
I was 16 and this was my first concert: Pablo Cruise, Journey (pre perry), Robin Trower. It was absolutely spectacular. My father drove us down, parked out front, and waited in the car. Thanks dad! RIP.
What a great dad! They don't make them like that anymore... Early journey and trower in the 70s were pushing the hardrock horizon at this time. No pop culture. No limits from record companies demanding what to play. Unfortunately journeys early passions were destroyed when they fired Ansley Dunbar because of prettyboy Perry.
🙏
Cool dad!
Very cool, my first concert was Trower on this tour about 10 days later in Columbus OH, The opening act was The Image or something like that and had an Iron Butterfly member in the group, never heard of them afterwards.
Robin Trower is the best in this trio,
and James Dewar is a great vocalist who sounds like Paul Rogers.
He deserves more recognition.
James Dewar sounds like James Dewar, a uniquely talented singer/bassist, who was just as important to the success and popularity of The Robin Trower Band as Trower himself.
Have you heard James' solo record Stumbledown Romancer? It's *superb*.
@@thedevilinthecircuit1414
I did not know this song. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
@@1Phepsi but he does kinda sound like Rogers
@Rocky Click, I don't think he does, but people hear what they hear, and it's certainly not an insult to be compared to Paul Rodgers.
If this song was released exactly like this in 2024 it would be fucking massive.
People are to dumb nowadays to appreciate any of the great value of fantastic music. In the U.S.A. we are on the 3rd generation of the dumbing down of America. The schools are a tragic scene. I've been around long enough to witness this. I went to college in the 70s to study engineering. I don't even know how some of the young people survive day to day.
gangoffour
EXACTLY
So glad I was growing up in that era. We had the best music and no subsequent generation has even come close.
I was noticing how many TV commercials use late 60’s to early 80’s music! So many cover bands out there today playing large venues, young teenage musicians playing music from this era. I don’t know who any of the modern stars are or what they sound like, it seems the rest of the world is still stuck in the 70’s?
The first half of the 90s was good.
But 1969-82 🏆🥇was IT
@@ezsmith3765but the 70s was just disco! Not so much.
@@billd.6684 ... Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Seger, REO, Jackson Browne, Robin Trower, Ted Nugent, Grand Funk, Bachman Turner, Nazareth, Fleetwood Mac, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, eagles, pink floyd, Steve Miller, Heart, Black Sabbath, WHO, ZZ top, the Doors, Boston, Blue Oyster Cult ... All great rock bands in the 1970s. mix in a little beer and pot and you made some great memories
Robin Trower is so damn talented, he shut off his amp and makes all those guitar sounds with his mouth....badass!
hats off to whomever placed the room mic INSIDE Robin's guitar cabinet.
28 year old, reporting in to you old geezers. Discovered this song a couple of nights ago after being obsessed with “Alethea” and “Bridge of Sighs” for months. Trower and his band are an inspiration. Cool headed dudes with great musicianship. Wish I were alive back then. Thank you, ye old fucks.
Trower never had a lead singer with sex appeal to the ladies....that was his nemesis to big success, because the music was great. Obviously.
Incredible albums…my daughter gave her friends my Trower collection as a birthday present way back, but it was a few years later that they got down and listened to it…they got straight on the phone. Blew their minds…
On behalf of "old fucks" everywhere, you're welcome!
Robin was one of my earliest inspirations. A drumner since 6 years old, inspiring music to my soul. Lost james dewar to cancer some many years ago. Trower, henrix, purple, santana, and early journey were the early influences which was happenjng at the time to make original, tasteful, rock and roll with progressive direction. Never stopped listening.
You’re welcome youngster! This album blew me away the first time I heard it.
I had the pleasure of seeing Trower live in concert on several occasions. My ears rang for two days. The band sold out stadiums and Coliseums back in the 70's.
Maybe it's a gritty recording, but...you know the guy's a virtuoso when he's happy to give it so much distortion- given that he can summon the sweetest tone on the planet when he chooses to. Trower plays spectacular blues/hard rock electric guitar. It isn't popular any more, and may never be again. But genius never gets old...
Never. ✌🏼
If it never again recreates it’s (hard Blues based rock) glory days that’s fine. I have all his albums and have a great memory for stuff like this!!
You should check out Eric Steckel.
No brother, it will never die out. I'm 65 and my sons will listen to Trower, Hendrix Santana and they get the LED out of the local Zepplin. And as long as there is some good pot, good blues will be musical god.
The gritty recordings are the best.
This was recorded on 618th birthday!
James Dewar looks so relaxed singing and playing bass at same time must be the hardest thing to do RIP!
The vocals aren't loud enough
I was at a concert in Seattle in 1973 when Robin Trower opened for Jethro Tull. I knew it was special at the time, but I didn't know that this kind of talent and quality of music in the world of rock would disappear over time.
Also at this show. Both Trower and Jethro Tull came thru Seattle every year.
As long as You Lived it '' It Will Not Disappear '' Rock will Never Die ''''
This is just reall talent.. Anderson is still recording with a new version of Tull,and as far as I'm aware Robin Trower still tours..so it can never die👍
@@bobratcliffe3599 I was a junior in high school that year...such a thrill for me. The year before I had moved to Olympia from West Australia. Where I was from, we rarely had access to talent like this back then.
@@ranjitverdi5702they don't make em like at anymore!Ol Skool rockers do it for the love
This Bass Player has to be in Top 10 and His Vocals are Legendary takes me back
This is badass.
Saw Robin Trower back in the early 80's at the Syria Mosque ball room in Pittsburgh... Small venue only about 1000 seats fantastic show and a great guitarist
I was there too ! B.Y.O.B. 2 six packs & a bottle of Yukon Jack. UNFORGETTABLE ! ! !
Robin came into my life at a great time...and thats why i had a 72 Red stratocaster....I lived and breathed Trower.. . This is after i leard all the Hendrix...Trower had a better band ...the singer Sir James Dewar.
Had this one on 8 track tape! Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school California USA ♥️🇺🇲🦅
Robin Trower one of my favorite guitar players, I really like Pat Travers too. both kick ass.
I'm with ya! Pat does a wicked cover of this tune!! Check it out!
Outstanding!
Dewar always sounded like a man of color and I love it!!!
Rip James dewer . U played with the one of greatest guitarist ever .your haunting vocals b remembered dearly
Fact!
Never seen them
In concert
Jimmy Dewar was one of the greatest vocalists ever to come out of Scotland alongside Alex Harvey (Alex Harvey Band), Dan McCafferty (Nazareth), Frankie Miller and Jack Bruce (Cream). Oh, and Rod Stewart sees himself as Scottish despite being born in London albeit to Scottish parents. Just an accident of geography I suppose.
William Wallace., that is one sweet history lesson sir. Thank you. James Dewar, is my favorite male vocalist of all time.
And don’t forget Alex Ligertwood who sang for Santana and was also with the Average White Band…great Scottish vocalist…
still play'in 45 years later ...and plays as great as ever
I was there and I was blown away. The first of many times seeing Robin Trower
@Joe Blow yea me and 2 buddies went at the time we didn't know who he was he was opening for sha na na (mistake) lol anyway I believe he opened with Too Rolling Stoned and that was it. We saw trower every time he played SF for about 5 yrs after that. I never felt he was copying Hendrix just one of many influences. One of the best guitarists I ever saw live.
Yeah is 👍👍👍
@@mk-cx7ov yes that wasthe show so it can't be our memory but one of the rare times the internet was wrong. At the time the best guitarist I'd ever seen. I was at Tower records the next day buying Bridge of Sighs. and besides procol harems nights in white satin I'd never heard Trower. A night I won't soon forget. lol
I was there too! Lost some hearing permanently. But the memories were worth it!
@@DarbyF The Moody Blues did "Nights in White Satin", not Procol Harum.
Monstrous tone...this ..to me this is dictionary perfect example of tone.
Wow
This çat is impeccable with an And** ROCKS AND ROLLING OFF THE
EDGES.bless it*
Ah. Yeah. Brilliant. xxxooo
Robin is singin' it! So cool!
When I first heard this singer...I was vitally impressed.Still am.
1960s and 1970s the Pinnacle of World Rock Jams!😀
Such a classic!! No one makes music like this anymore!!
Sadly so true. But so happy it lives on UA-cam!
No no body dose music today sucks it's bad when a guitar player feels that it's just not the same
What you have said is a fact. I'm grateful to have been alive back then.
Patricia you are so right.
The vocals are too low in the mix!!!!
Takes me back to freshman year in college. Putting Bridge of Sighs on and getting SO FUCKING HIGH. Like a religious experience.
Robin and Terry Kath are unsung heroes of the guitar. Damn, so awesome
Tobin?
@@philwright2480 yeah, not sure if you've ever noticed it but T and R right next to each other on a keyboard.
Jimmy Dewar will be greatly missed, God that voice !
I say it all the time. Never a better singer.
As the years go by his voice is that much better.
These 3 could kick some sound
He often sounded like Paul Rodgers, which is a compliment.
His voice was unique!! As was John Prine's!! RIP TO BOTH.
More proof that rap isn't music 🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🍺🍺🍺
Bill Lordan-formerly of Sly & The Family Stone on drums-oh yeah baby !
Saw Robin in Jacksonville, Fl. in 1975 or 76. Those facial expressions are the best.
My first concert. Pablo Cruise, Journey, Robin Trower. It was a show I will never forget. Winterland was one of a kind. I was 16.
Remember when there use to be 3 bands!? Damn, you took me back. 👍🏼
Hammer Head Good old winter land where are you from I grew up in Gilroy
@@thomasshook1028 Philly girl!
Hammer Head
I remember seeing the Dead, and Mahogany Rush there. Between bands they would show the video they had of all the different bands they had played there and I distinctly remember seeing this video of Robin Trower. It’s too bad you can’t hear James Dewar’s voice a little more.
And it was Journey pre Steve Perry if I remember correctly.
Just as good today as it was back then. We get old , but the music dont
One of the greatest guitar players of his time.I learned a lot of licks as a kid.🎸🎸🎵👍👿
Steve i agree "SMOKIN"
Saw Robin Trower at Winterland n ‘75, believe Dave Mason was the opener. Might have been this show.
Dude had a Relic Bass before such a thing 😃
That was Bill Graham introducing Trower. This was my favorite concert venue growing up. He used record all the shows and these would be shown on a big projection screen above the stage while we were waiting for the show we were actually there for to start. It was great. I really do miss Winterland...
Right on. We loved Winterland. This was my first concert. I was 16. The black lights in the ceiling and smell of weed in the air.
I was there....winterland was Robin's debue in USA..... I picked up a guitar the next day.....and never stopped playing......
Awesome to see Bill Graham introducing them. A legend in his own right.
I Saw Trowers Bridge of Sighs Tour Twice in 1974 at The Paramount Theater in Portland Oregon.
Unreal
Old rock is the best rock!
The 70s. The best classic rock ever!!!! Purple, Floyd, Zeppelin, Crimson, E,L&P, Sabbath, Trower, Gallagher, Heep, The Who, Rainbow, Genesis, Tull, Chicago, Foreigner, Slade, Badfinger, ZZ, Sweet, Grand Funk, and many more!!!!!
I 100 percent agree with you. Nothing beats it.
God! You wanna day , “ how many guitars are on the stage?” answer: ONE!
You wanna day?
@@philwright2480 ha! good catch...
All of our high school rock bands back in the 70's played a Robin Trower song or two.
What state 👍just curious
The single most underrated and underappreciated guitarist of the day... When EC, Beck and Page were plinking away... Robin and Jimi had the BIG fat tone that has become the hallmark of rocking guitars...listen to the riffs...and how fat his tone is...
I was there with my friends, and our ears were burn'in, Thanks for this experience 💥🎸
Thank you Robin for the inspiration and years of entertainment. 🎸 👍🤘
Best line up ever! Just saw him again and he play better than ever!
This drummber (sic) misses Reg I. on drums. Isidore and Dewar had a groove you could drive a car in.
That's my Boy - Robin Trower! TROWER POWER!
Saw Robin Trower and Ten Years After at Tempe, AZ in 1974. EXCELLENT!!!
Lucky
Dewar looks beaten down, but Robin is in great spirits. He has a great smile.
The best rock song of all. IMHO. RIP, James Dewar, simply the best!
Saw trower at ford auditorium 1974 Detroit Mich.opening for king crimson who I was unfamiliar with.trower put on a hypnotising show.I was a fan and saw him 3 other times
Jimmy Dewar had great voice, but apparently never got too excited on stage.
+chugger smith His singing was effortless.Fame was no big deal to him, it appears.
Nothin wrong with having a poised front man. :P
chugger smith dewers voice is world class, it's too bad that sometimes the flashy front men get all the recognition when a unbelievable talent like this go's without it proper due
dewer never got near the recognition he deserved, r.i.p. master blues man
there was a problem with the sound. yes, great voice, did not get too excited, and with the sound issues had to struggle to hear him. RIP
What was the reasoning behind making these winterland videos black and white. I am guessing Robin's sweater was light beige, unlike his tone .
Oh man, I sure miss Jimmy Dewar. What a massive talent he was.
Bill Grahm introduced his acts,R.I.P.Bill you were one of a kind,great man and vision
One of the most overlooked figures in classic rock
Robin Trower has his unique sound and technique. Similiar to Jimi Hendrix but not a clone at all. He has hiS own way of timing the main riff with many rythem parts and tieing it together perfectly. A MASTER technition of electric guitar affects.
And the great drumming of Bill Lordan
RIP James'Dewar
Seen the RT Band Way Back and 2012 Yes Robin in my top 5 Guitarists of All Time & Hes Still Rockin ! Also James on Bass Right behing Jack Bruce vocals & playing ability & thats a true compliment Those two are 1 & 2 with Paul M Beatle and Whos Entwistle 3 & 4 But seriously Trower is amazing Such A Gifted Guitarist
So cool...one of the best 3 man bands in their prime..thanks for this
I saw him play this in 1981 in Edinburgh. Loud, loud, loud - such power.
I never realized Robin is mouthing his solos as he plays.
Robin's mouth is non-stop...he pulls more faces than a plastic surgeon.
@@edwinparker1869 He pulls more faces than you'd see at a bad clown fight.
Bill Graham. Wow - he brings back a memory or two.
Did anyone enjoy the music more than Trower?
I was there!!! Sitting the Filmore Bar watching the concert!!
Nice!
He's got such great tone it sounds a lot like Jimi Hendrix
I was 11 in 1967 when I learned of you, been listening for along time. Thank You
Dear James Dewar Rest In Peace 🙏☮️💔😔💔☮️🙏
Was there for this one, it was frickin loud you testes would shake. A special thanks to Bill Graham (Wilhelms Vault) for recording every concert he promoted.
So much down for just three people
Trower'75 the academy New York 7th row center.Crowd splitting towards the "Pit" weed smoke so thick you can hardly see the urinal ............red's, jacket's ,bennie's .....loose joint's in little manila envelopes thin as a grasshoppers legs........hahaaaaa 16 years old havin a blast hendrix was gone and this was as close as it got !
bob oh stephens So sad that most youtubers dont know what the fuck youre talking about 😉
No they don't. It's to bad. 60's and 70's were rockin times.
bob oh stephens Those were good days! I saw him first time at The Spectrum in Philadelphia 1976 (?), but it's 2017, and I'm still listening and going to see him when he tours.
Well done Bob Oh. That was living...
The Palldium in NYC, New Haven etc;.. Those were the best days!..Zeppelin was touring that year! The Who, Pink Floyd, Yes,Tull, Zappa..AC/DC was just revving up, Def Leppard were in their teens, opening for them..Eddie was emerging, Judas Priest were the baddest metal act on earth..And then?..the 80's hit...and things started going downhill....I was there in my teens and 20's through it all..So fortunate.
Never could figure out why people would compare Trower and Hendrix - totally 2 different sounds... not even close...🤔
Happy 70th Robin(03/09/2015)!!!
Can someone explain to me why is it that when there is a list of the all time greatest list of rock guitarist Robin Trower is never mentioned? I luv his playing and his sound!
Sooooo underated!!! Agreed.
I wish I had a time machine... to see that live, I missed seeing it by two years.... all I had was a learner's permit to drive.
Greg get down to Orlando he plays every Nov at the House of Blues...still! In 2019
I was there Greg... right next to the camera... well one of them... there were two... I believe the first time Bill Graham set them up ... it's crazy to see this almost 50 years later
@@tonychavez1733 very cool. He's still a hero of mine.
the most underated quaiter player ever
Saw him live at the old Music Hall in Boston in 1977. He was incredible. It's criminal that he's not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!
Me too. I was 15 and had my brother (21) took me as the babysitter... never baby sat so much... we only had to go back to JP so it was not so bad. The shit they put out now, know wonder we have global warming, pure ass gas...
The R&R HoF is a pathetic joke!!!!!!!
Atomic 500 the R&R H OF is a pathetic joke!!!!!!!!
He, Uncle Ted, and a lot of other greats, but hey Madonna and Joan Jett are, imagine that
Saw him at the caley cinema in Edinburgh February 75' great concert.
Love your playing Robin! Loved it in the 70's and loving it in 2021, too! Also, great to see Bill Graham, too.
what a great album bought it in 75 when it came out i was a junior in high school it was the best era great music and muscle car's
Strat + Uni-Vibe + Talent = Eargasm.
Trower. One of the true guitar greats.
saw this show. winterland was jumpin took my kids to see him at the Fillmore when they were teenagers
When I first heard Robin Trower I was stoned out of my head. And fell in love with the sound of his playing the guitar. I still in joy listening to him to this day. And back then I was in the military. And that was thirty years ago. I got the chance to see him live in Lafayette LA I will never forget it. Was fantastic.
We had a local radio station that did a thing call vinyl for Vets. Do I donated 150 dollars to the Veterans for them to play Day of the Eagle for my 22 year old uncle that came back in 68 in a steel coffin with a 101 airborne Eagle patch on his shoulder along with all that ever served . I have always used the saying that you will never soar with the Eagles if you work with a bunch of turkeys!
Man, what a great video! My first 2 albums when I was a kid, Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs, and Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced. My brother gave me both of them for Christmas when I was 111 years old in 1981. Those albums become the foundation of where I developed my own guitar style from. Thanks for sharing the video, really great getting to have a good blase from the past tonight.
111 years in 1981?😂
@@55102 OMG, damn I must be old. If Only I was just 11 years old in 1980 that would be a lot better! lol!!!!!
Love Trower’s tone. Very cool riff!
I like how he says the guitar sounds as he plays them.
Im glad I was right in a time of real rock. Not this crap today. I really miss those times. Those spoiled brats you could get in a fight at school and not go to jail and partied hard
