Yeah Carl he was/is, had mucho cool clips on my original thread in Of Topics but they are gone, but you know where to find them.
Saw Robin in London around Bridge Of Sighs time and up in the opera box seat was one Jeff Beck, now that was way cool...

I'll bet JB didn't walk out and encounter Townsend and Clapton on the way in when they asked "He' that bad you're leaving?" "No, he's that good!" That would have been one Mr. James Marshall Hendrix!

+1 x6. It's always a 1st time

April 4th Chicago H.O.B.
You better see him now and while you can (when he's here.)
I talked to his road manager last year and he said that it will be difficult to tour the States after this year...

He actually wasn't coming this time 'cuz it's just getting too expensive...besides Robin being almost 63.
Although I shook his strong hand he was on the thin side...

I just picked up the Live CD. Great stuff on that one, Too Rolling Stoned, Althea, A Little Bit Of Sympathy, Rock Me Baby.

I'm listening to the new CD he just did with Jack Bruce now. Jack sounds like vintage Cream.

Yea, Jack Bruce is the coolest member of Cream for my money, even if he always plays too loud..

.
Glenn Hughes may be the voice of rock, but Jack surely is the voice of the blues/rock era by far.

Been listening to "In City Dreams", which I picked up in a ASU record shop one snowy day. I love some of the raw idea's on it. "Someone calling" is great, as are many of the solo's.

Cool excerpts from the DVD that came with the limited edition Robin Trower tribute Stratocaster, the one with the Deja Vibe, ect.
Love the big headstock vibe, bullet truss with 4 bolt, tip of the hat to old YJM there..

I remember a mint one of these on the Bay, but I couldn't afford it.

Me again! I put those up. I had the Limited Trower Tribute Strat. Now I got the Trower sig model in Midnight Burst. Both awesome Strats.
You can hear this on my Superstition clip.
