Robin Trower? Yea buddy. Saw them twice. Day in the Green. Oakland California.
Wow, they don’t look the same. Pretty damn impressive actually.

I’ve had many memorable life experiences with this song playing in the back ground, perhaps loudly, most were probably legal…..I’d like to re-live a few. I just need 3 more guys for some competitive Euchre or 3 for some old time table hockey…..Maybe Laurie B in the bib over-alls, but not for long….
dont bogart that joint. . . . .
When i put Trower on i’d only get off the couch to flip sides.
That song I linked has been on my gym playlist for at least 10 years.
‘Gov’t Mule’ does a great version of this … unfortunately, I can’t find one
this will have to do … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5xDa00nRUI&ab_channel=GordonJames
lotta crowd noise … Haynes is a beast, master of the Gibson Les Paul (
easysmooth axe to play)I’ve seen Trower five times over the years.
The Bridge of Sighs album is at the top of my list .
Unfortunately, he could never find a singer even close to the voice on the original, James Dewar (RIP).
Dewar had one of rock’s great gravely voices, kinda like a Greg Allman or Steve Marriott.
Saw them in Milwaukee, in ’77. I don’t think they expected this new band they had open for them, called Cheap Trick, blow him off the stage.
The irony, I just added Bridge of Sighs to my playlist on iHeartRadio a couple day’s ago. It is definitely a classic.
Thanks, MJA!

Agree 100%. Jimmy Dewar had one hell of a set of pipes (RIP). At first I thought that was Dewar in this video, but I found out it’s Davey Pattison. Hell of a cover on vocals.

Warren IS a beast! One of my all-time favorite guitar players, and Gov’t Mule is probably my favorite band currently performing. I saw them for the first time in 2000, in a little hole in the wall in Pittsburgh called Rosebud. “Bad Little Doggie” was getting air play on the radio at the time, I dug the hell out of it, and I wanted to check them out. Been hooked ever since. Got to see Allan Woody right before he passed away (RIP). One of the best bass players I’ve ever seen.
I suggested that name for the song.
AFTER making up the lyrics …
One of my favorite Trower songs, back in the day he was said to be the next Jimmy Hendrix.
I still tear up a little when I remember my Bridge of Sighs tape being eaten by the 8-track player in my van during a marathon… I’ll just stop there.
I saw Trower a couple years ago in Northampton, MA; did his own vocals. Dewer was a perfect vocal compliment to Trower, but I thought Pattison did a great job during his time with the band. I have all the vinyl LP’s. Back in the day, my buddy had Radio Shack ‘color organs’ wired to his speakers; perfect for RT.
1st concert I went to – Trower in 1978!
Saw him 5 more times over the years after that – one of my all time favorites.
