The history of the guestbook at Steve's Place

This should be read from the bottom up so scroll down to the end
of the page and read up to the top.

This is the origional guestbook when I startd up my site in July of 1999. I unfortunatly had to change because of server problems. I kept a copy of this as I always enjoyed hearing what
visitors (and friends) had to say. It shows how a lot of people view the music, the musicians,
the internet and a variety of topics.  I would also like to thank all for the kind
words and encouragement I have recieved over the last couple of years.......
I do try and answer all the questions........... Steve.
I was standing in front of the counter, staring at this image: a piece of barbed wire, glowing in neon, spread out across this black cover, the twisted strands of metal glowing red hot. The words at the top spelled out an unspeakable fate that might befall anyone who dared to possess this talisman. VICTIMS OF THE FURY! I picked it up and took it home with me (after paying for it, of course). The voice in my head kept saying, "I must listen to this!" Once I returned home, I placed it on the turntable and started to play, when I heard the opening riffs of the song, "Jack and Jill", a new chapter in my life had just been opened. From that moment on, I was on to new "Roads To Freedom", listening to the music of a different piper, and one that I would be listening to for the next 22 years. And that piper is called ROBIN TROWER!
Steve's Place is a wonderful place of discovery about this man called Robin Trower and the 'family' of musicians who have collaborated with him over the years. The site enhancements that Steve Shail has implemented over the evolution of his Trower page are remarkable and a real treat for Trower fans. There isn't a more up-to-date site on the 'net. Take some time to wander through Steve's Place and discover a whole new side of the man and music of Robin Trower. Great job on your terrific Trower site, Steve. Thank you, my friend.

Steve, really enjoyed your adventure story and could experience your sense of awe and excitement all the way through it! I've been a Trower fan since Procol but Bridge of Sighs remains a favorite today. I also am fascinated with In City Dreams.That recording has a tender but psychedelic remoteness to it. Saw Trower and band twice in the late Eighties at the Lost Horizon nightclub in Syracuse.Very good shows and I took a few pictures with a Canon Snappy that came out pretty good despite the camera's limitations. And mine as well! I've just put 5 into a png.format so if you're interested in me downloading them to you let me know. They'll take a bit to download but you won't lose any of the picture like a jpeg. Just found your site Sunday so I've come back to read and see some more! Marlon Sellen

I actually live in Canada .  If you go into any search engine ( Google is good) and type in Robin Trower you will find a number of pages.  I'm not sure where they would all origionate.  Some really interesting stuff!

Steve,
I was touched by your interview with James Dewar, and I share your high opinion of his talents, and pray for his
complete recovery. I must take issue, however, with one comment, that he sang back up in Stone the Crows.
Having dusted off my old albums, I am reminded that both Jimmy Dewar and Maggie Bell have strong solo
voices, and, that is the way they used them in Stone the Crows, at least on the debut album. Each contributed lead
vocals to most of the songs, trading off verses. For the uninitiated, "I Saw America" from the debut album is
worth the quest. An epic piece of music and poetry that, in the words of another Scottish Bard Robert Burns,
allows us Americans "to see ourselves as others would."

ROBIN TROWER, WHAT A MUSICIAN, REAL EXPRESSION AND EMOTION IN HIS PLAYING. SOLOS
LIKE ''CALEDONIA'' ARE SO BRILLIANT, THEY ARE NOT ONLY AWESOME ROCK SOLOS, BUT
BEAUTIFULLY LYRICAL, YOU COULD PEN WORDS TO EVERY NOTE IN THAT SOLO AND HAVE A
GREAT SONG. OTHER SOLOS LIKE ON ''RIVER'' AND ''CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT'' ARE GOOD
EXAMPLES OF WHAT I MEAN, THEY ARE SONGS IN THEMSELVES AS WELL AS BREATHTAKING
SOLOS. TROWER IS NOT AS WELL KNOWN TO MANY YOUNGER MUSICIANS, YET WHENEVER I
PLAY TROWER FOR THEM, THEY ALL WANT COPIES. JIMMY DEWAR, ONE OF THE ALL TIME
GREATEST ROCK SINGERS, LORDAN AND ISIDORE WERE DRUMMERS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE

This will be the first real collaboration between Bill & I and we're both looking forward to it. No promises, but there could eventually be a Lordan/Serrato cd! Anything is possible!

Hello,
I am a huge Trower fan like yourself and was looking through you live tapes. Tape #19 really interested me because he does "in this place" in it. THat is one of my favorite songs by him. Is there any way i can get a copy of that. I really do not have much to trade since i have never done this befoe. The only thing i have that you might want is a bootleg Procol Harum, with trower on guitar. The best song on it is Juicy John Pink. If there is any way you could trade please let me know, or others who would trade. Thank you.Byron

When is Trower playing back here, there are still a lot of people who know he's class and want to see him in Britain. He has a more loyal following in the States i know, but we miss him i'm telling you. I have often wondered whether or not Robin Trower is rich, he should be with all those great albums, he deserves millions for all the great times we've had listening to him, but you can tell by the way he plays that money don't come into it, he plays because its his true means of expression, and no one on earth can play like him. I just finished working out the licks for the solo after ''too rolling stoned'' you know the one with that thumping bassline, wow those licks are somethin, took me a while and i wrote them in TAB to remember. Pity theres no TAB books available to save me the time.Geezer

Steve-
If you saw my post on the Trower List you know about my idea to distribute CD copies of the Dewar Mix I made to those who are interested and to have people make gifts for Jimmy. If I get any response I wonder whether I could impose upon Brian toacilitate the delivery of the gift. I am not sure how the currency conversion would work. Also, if I a can raise $200 or $300 and Brian thought any electronic equipment (e.g. compact stereo system) would be of any interest to Jimmy, then I am not sure whether they use the same voltage (120 vs. 220) in Scotland and whether it would be cheaper to buy here and ship there or just have Brian buy there. So far I haven't got any response so it may all be a moot point, although it has been less than 24 hours.
Finally, I wonder if you have any interest in promoting my idea on your website. If I get zero response from the list I will assume that it was a lame idea and forget about it. If I start to get some response and you are comfortable posting it for a couple of weeks, then let me know. Thanks, Dave

 As group of people raised  enough money to get Jimmy a guitar, a tour cap and a couple of items to help him enjoy the music.

Saw Robin Trower last night at the Aladdin Theater in Portland Oregon. I got an autograph at the end of the show!He was so kind and I often times wonder if it must be hard to do this after putting out so much energy night after night on the road. I had a couple of questions I wondered if you could help answer. What part of Canada did Robin live in? I noticed his 100watt Marshall I think model #1959 cause I bought one in 72 that I have been unable to part with. Still have the receipt! I also have the 1960 A&B 4x12 cabs. It looked like he had a JCM 800 top as well do you know if it was a 50 or 100watt? How are they hooked up? He was using it looked like 4 4x12 light brown cabs. As far as effects It seemed simple enough the Vox wah and another thing maybe a dyna vibe?? I don't believe that there were any distortion devices and he gets that warm crunch out of the amps alone. Is there any channel switching between the amp heads? As you can see I was totally mesmerized as well. What a show! What a great guy. I saw him once before when I lived in San Jose Ca. (37 years) I also can say that I also saw Jimi Hendrix Santa Clara Pop Fest 1967. Robins playing brought back alot of those old great feelings. Thanks John Shea

Robin usually is available after concerts to sign autographs. This is the best place to try.

Thanks for your support and appreciation for Robin Trower! Robin is one of the precious treasures in life that all should embrace and not take for granted. We along with our communities ( I.E. media etc.) need to do much, much more to support such seasoned and genious talent. Because of the "big marketing machine" Radio does nothing to educate and inform. Even most classic rock stations today seem robotec and tasteless. Loop after loop. Talent such as Robins and many others will not be around to enjoy live forever! There is only a hand full of decent new rock influences out today. This is completely tragic and the "big media machine" is totally responsible!!! The tail should not always wag the dog.
I saw Robin live in OKC last week and it was one of the great musical pleasures of my life!
Thanks again! Tony Cope

I went to the concert at the Medina Entertainment Center Friday November 3. It was the 9th time I have went to see Robin and it was was of his better performances if not his best. The place was packed all the back to the walls and the sound was incredible. Not overly loud just perfect. I took some people who had never heard Trower and they were blown away by his talent and his new singer. Richard Watts can really sing a tune. He fits in perfect with Robin's guitar sound and Alvino Bennet was excellent as always on the drum kit. My friends can't believe that Trower isn't played on the radio and all agree Robin put on a much better show than Clapton did a few weeks ago. Robin said some of the songs were being recorded for his live cd coming out next spring. We all hope his DVD will be recorded as planned because then the public will finally get to witness Trower at his best. It sounds like Robin has many many fans out there and we all need to keep supporting him because he is the best guitar player out there without a doubt. His two solos in Bridge of Sighs and Daydream brought tears to many of his fans for the pure soulfullness he exhibits. Most people were totally blown away with his technique and full-on sound. I recommend that people check Robin out on this tour because he is at the top of his game.

MIKE, i'm glad you saw it too, i was'nt sure if it was an English publication or not. It's a shame you never met Roy Buchannon ,living so near him, he was pure class, 'After Hours' is one of my all time favourite tracks. The ''100 greatest solos''in that mag did include some truly great ones, but yeah there were many that did not warrant a place there at all and that's what bothered me, How they left out some classic solos just so they could put more commercial ones in. I feel that in some ways Trowers reputation has suffered a lot because some critics just wanted to say he was trying to be Hendrix etc, these people don't realise that Trowers playing style was instantly regognisable as his own, because they had already made their minds up and that was it. Sure Hendrix was a big influence but in no way was Trower doing a ''Frank Marino'',RT's songwriting and playing were brilliant and there was a lot of originality, which was not always the case with Frank of Mahogany rush.Geezer COV' UK - Thursday, November 08, 2001 at 03:22:48 (PDT)

GEEZER, I agree with you 100%. Saw that samne article , the 100 Greatest Guitar solos,and I too was dissapointed that the very two you mentioned were not on it. Trower & Buchannon. I'm of course a bigger fan of Trower, and thought he was definitly overlooked. The late Roy Buchannon, of which I lived one block away from him in Reston Virginia and never knew he was there until I heard about his death in 88 or 89 (can't remember which), but I was always a big fan from the early 80's. One of my big dissapointments in life was that I never realized that on of my guitar idols was my neighbor. I jogged by his house weekly and never knew it. Would have loved to just stop in and shake his hand, or just tell him how much I appreciated his work. Anyway, they sure had some "Lame" names on that list. People who I didn't think deserved that type of recognition. Especially when your overlooking these two Guitar Gods. But isn't that how it goes. Just saw Trower in October. He's as good as ever. Hope he gets his dues some day. Mike C.

I was looking through some guitar mag yesterday, in this mag they had ''the hundred greatest guitar solos of all time'' , i looked through the whole lot and the bastards did'nt have one solo by the great man himself RT, Jeff Beck had one at number 96 and people like Roy Buchanon or Buddy Guy did'nt get a mention either, oh sure there were some great solos in there but there were some lame ones too like those w**k*rs 'Kiss' and stuff like that. What about legendary solos like 'Too rolling stoned' or 'Little bit of sympathy' or that awesome solo in 'messin the blues', no man on earth could play a solo like that, go listen to it now and check out that style, one of a kind mate, one of a kind. These blokes in guitar mags would rather talk about Liam Gallagher 'the one string wonder'' from Oasis than truly great musicians, i guess its all about selling magazines.Geezer
Coventry GB - Tuesday, November 06, 2001 at 01:28:51 (PDT)

Steve- I went through the list. I'm afraid that I did not save many ticket stubs so I have nothing to add to the list. I can remember 20 shows that I have been to, of which 16 are on the list. I note that the 7/19/94 Beacon Theatre show was a tour with Peter Frampton (Robin opened - hence the short set list). Also, I seems to remember seeing Robin between 85 - 87 at a place called Pulsations in Pennsylvannia. I also note that the 7/23/76 show at Shea Stadium Robin opened for Jethro Tull. I mentioned this to Robin when I got to meet him last month at the BBKing show in NYC and he recalled that Rory Gallagher was the opening act before him. I guess he has burned less brain cells than me, but when he said it I did recall that.Dave Whitlock

Steve,
Loved the Dewar Interview. Have been waiting for years to hear about Jimmy. I thought it was done very tastefully. I would love to help in anyway to get him the recognition he deserves. Just can't believe his voice, oh I'll forget about it for a while, then play an old Trower cut and it still moves me. I haven't really heard Robin speak much on his feelings about Jimmy. I mean just a little here & there but nothing to give any real insight on his feelings. Maybe I've missed it . But once again my hat is off to you. Some of the most interesting Rock & Roll History ever written. Good Job. Can you do more?

Hi Steve,
I am a great fan of Robin Trower...His music and soulful playing style just cuts right through me. I have collected virtually all of his commercially available albums on CD, but have not been fortunate enough to actually see him play, apart from the one video I have managed to track down... "Classic Blues/Rock Guitar" from the Hot Licks series.
I note that your Live Tape List contains two Video Recordings (Tapes 9 and 10). would it be possible for me to purchase copies of these tapes, either from yourself or via any other source....Please advise.Regards, Martin.

I was buying a second hand guitar last week and when trying it out played some of ''Daydream'', the assistant looked over and called out ''hey man Robin Trower'', the guy then walked over and started talking about Trower, he said that Robin Trower 'live'! on chrysalis was one of the best live blues-rock recordings ever and ranked alongside Hendrix in brilliance, then he took the guitar plugged it through a crybaby wah pedal and played many of the licks from ''Rock me babe'' from the live version, the guy was class and said that Trower was a big influence as well as Hendrix and SRV.

What a shocker! I thought James Dewar died of a brain tumor in the 90's. What's the story? I saw Trower in Cleveland this month. His licks are pure magic, but he's getting pretty old. Better see him every chance you get. Please e-mail me and tell me why I heard or read Dewar is dead. Fill me in on the real story. thanks, Eric

I've played many Trower tunes over the years including "Whiskey Train", Little bit O' Sympathy", "Next In Line", "Day Of the Eagle", "2 Rolling Stoned", "Ready For the Taking", "Same Rain Falls", and a bunch more. I saw Robin most recently at the Pageant in St. Louis, the first date of the tour. He was great.

Good job Steve. I didn't think that there was anybody that the same feelings about Robins work as I do. It sounds like we have alot in common. All the way down to not being able to see Robin until lately. He played at the Pacanga casino. My wife got me a limo , my friend got me tix and I was off to the most memorable night of my life, but as my luck would have it, the limo driver couldn't find my house and was 45 minutes late, so I missed all but 5 songs, I walked in the lead to Too rolling stoned. I had goose bumps the size of the moon. After we sat down, Another friend that was with us knew one of the ushers and got us third row seats center, they kicked out some shmoes crashing the reserve seats and up we went. I had tears in my eyes the whole time he played, I felt like an idiot but after all the years of what Robins work has given me,I was completly overwhelmed and couldn't control it. It's never happened before. That guy is by far, the baddest guitar player to strap one on. Yngwie and Eddie, Randy, B.B., Stevie. They all have their place in R&R history, but there never was before, and never will be again the creative guitar genius of Robin Trower.  Please tell them all that their magic was a one of a kind , tangable creation and there is somebody out there, who felt what they did completely. Thanks for listening to my rambling. Bob Batterton www.mp3.com/Stone Pharo (guitarist)

Steve:
I enjoyed looking at your site. Thanks for doing such an excellent job.
I have been a Trower fan since '69, when I saw him with Procol Harum. Since then, I have seen him a few times and have bought most of his albums, plus a couple bootlegs.
I am probably one of the few people who like his pre-solo work a lot, almost as much as his popular stuff. His technique was obviously much less developed, but the emotion and soul were there right from the beginning.
Have you seen any shows or bootlegs with any of his Procol songs like "Whiskey Train", "Long Gone Geek" or "Juicy John Pink"? How come he never performs them? Also, almost never any material from the Jack Bruce days. Keep up the good work!! I will be catching his show this Saturday at the Jaxx club in Springfield, VA.

I had the opportunity to see Robin at the Indy show October 2nd - and as usual he was great! I have had the opportunity to see him perform now in every decade since the seventies. I will be displaying the BOS Platinum album in a Ft. Wayne Indiana music store in November 2001 and everyone will have an opportunity to register to win either a "Go My Way" cd, a Charlie Souza "Behind the 9 Ball" cd, or a BLX cd just for visiting the store and viewing the award. Like you, I am an avid collector of Trower materials and if there are others out there, like me, who would like to trade photos, I have about 70 black and white photos of Robin (and a few of Jim Dewar) from the early 1970's. Thanks for providing a great web site!

Glad you feel so strongly about one of the greatest influences in guitar playing. He has influenced me probably as much as you in our playing. I will be seeing him tonight for the 1st time in about 2 years. I hear the new kid on bass is just like Dewar? I hope so. I've be a litttle dissapointed on the past bassist. I am looking for tour dates on everyone's pages. It's what we all need to know how and when to see the great man perform. Please keep up your work and add more info when possible.

Having been to approx 36 RT shows, I am very disappointed with this set list. I thought on TrowerPower web site I read RT was going to perform different oldies? I don't see this on the set list. I am speaking for other major sacramento fans as well. BOS and Daydream take up over 20 precious minutes of RT's typical 80min show. Whatever happened to Shame the Devil, Confessin' Midnight, Its Only Money. Even Alethea and Fool and Me have been performed plenty on the boots I have. I also see very little from the new album. Anyhow, RT has such a rich catalogue. Even Back It Up album is great. I was listening to it yesterday speeding on the freeway. I hope others feel the same about the set list. Its so boring to have so much of the same (BOS album and Daydream). Hopefully, the news tunes are hot. I shall go to the show just the same. But I'm disappointed with the set list from what was anticipated. Best regards

Steve
Yours is a fantastic website - the best fan's site for any rock musician I have seen. I really liked your detailed story of how you saw and met Robin - the level of detail is what makes it such a great story - it must have taken you hours to write! I wrote a letter to Robin a while ago saying that I wanted to write a factual book about about what it is like to be a professional guitarist using him as the example - he actually wrote a very nice letter back! But I couldn't get a British publisher - they all said he had too narrow fan base over here. I have all his albums and think Go My Way is amazingly strong - all his albums are good but you don't expect someone who has been out there for as long as Trower has to suddenly produce some of his very best work this far into his career. I wrote a review for Amazon or Jungle.com saying what a great album it is. I hope it sells by the bucket. The weird thing is that Robin is British but we don't get to see him over here. I hope we will sometime. I was interested by what you said about Richard Watts - he is a great singer; still, so is RT himself as he proved on Someday Blues and tracks on Go My Way! Please keep up the excellent work on your website. It is brilliant and gives Trower fans a lot of pleasure - not least in knowing there are so many other equally dedicated fans of his musicianship and guitar playing out there. Good luck.Take care.

Great page! I'm a bass player and have been a giant RT fan since discovering PH's Broken Barricades in the spring of '71. I was heartbroken when he quit that band, little knowing what was to come. It's been my pleasure to see Robin about a dozen times at various venues around southern CA., starting summer '74 at Santa Monica Civic (opening for Spooky Tooth, no less). See y'all this winter when he gets out west again.

Hi Steve, just read your interview with Richard Watts. Very Good!! It's nice to read where some of his influences came from. I may not have much input on all the R.T. letter's but still the same I do enjoy reading them everyday after a hard day's work. From time to time I do put In my 2 cent's. I would like to say to all the Robin Trower fans, please say a prayer to all the families that have lost their families to this horrible tragedy & to Keeping the faith. Tonight is very emotional, so for awhile I just had to turn "OFF" the T.V. & put some music on, just to put a smile on my face. Please do the same if it help's.

Thanks for putting on the announcement about KLOS radio in Los Angeles playing my latest project's CD "9 Ball in the Corner Pocket" by Charlie Souza. It sounded great and the response has been very positive. If anyone wants to sample some of the tracks they can go to www.CharlieSouza.com And for those who remember me from Robin Trower you will love the drumming I did on this CD and I even co-wrote on three of the songs. Not bad for a drummer eh Steve. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to read the interview with Jimmy Dewar my old friend. Peace, Bill Lordan

He is also one of the nicest people on earth. I also had an opportunity to open for Trower several years ago. I've always enjoyed Trower's music and will always be a big fan.
I will be sending off a copy of my last two cds "Holy Smokes & Like A Tornado" to you within the next day or two. Again, great web site....keep up the good work!

Many of Robins fans from the upper midwest will be on hand in Omaha and Medina,Mn to check out the master in September. We are extremely excited to see and hear Robin again. I read where the band will be playing some new songs as well as some different songs from the past. That will make many of his long-time fans happy as well as gain a lot of new fans who have never heard him play these songs.

Trower rules. His playing blends pure emotion with a genuine vein of poetry, the mans a natural, and we're all hooked. Trower recorded a seven minute track on a ''Guitar speak'' compilation album, this was quite a while ago, the track was called ''Shame'' and has a drum programmed rythm. Let me tell you that this track is Awesome, with some really beautiful playing, the label i think is I.R.S records. I recommend Trower fans to seek out this recording.
Also Steve, thanks for the e mail. Yeah he has tuned down to E flat for some songs. It's worth knowing in case you're trying to figure out licks in the open pentatonic blues scale. Best regards , J.S.

Just finished another cruise through your wonderful Trower site and felt compelled to tell you once again what a tremendous job you're doing for all of us Trower devotees from 'Earth Below'. It seems that every time I stop by, there is an endless stream of site enhancements that make every visit a new experience. I especially like the "Family of Trower" theme that you have adopted for your site. It is very interesting to learn about some of the back stories and what former band members and associates are doing today. Great job, Steve. BTW, is it too early to start getting excited about October tour plans? RT2K1? And what ABOUT the lineup? Looking forward to future revelations about the Robin Trower Band. Thanks again, Steve, for the awesome site. Later, Ron

Just found your cool Site. Lots of people are interested in Robin Trower TAB, well very little of it is available. What i would like to know is whether Robin tunes to E flat or D,on the hotlicks video he says he tunes down to D using a fairly heavy string and a high action, but when listening to most of his music i am sure his guitar is tuned to E flat. This would help when figuring out many of his licks, i am not really one to put much faith in TAB...Many of the TAB books i have don't seem right at all, the Zeppelin ones are at best innacurate. Robins music and his unique style of playing will always be close to my heart,so much so that we named our daughter Robynne Alethea after Robin and that great song from ''For Earth Below'',my wife decided on the spelling of Robynne. Last time i saw him play was when he did the ''Night of the Guitars'' in North London alongside Laurie Wisefield and Ronnie Montrose and others. The jam at the end of the show was awesome and i have it on video. Wisefield,Montrose and Trower all have very different playing styles,it was one of the best jams i ever heard. Great to know there is a guestbook dedicated to Trower. Best regards from J.S.

In june of 1970 upon my return home from a nasty litle war in southeast asia, I tuned in the local underground station and heard a little ditty by Procol Harum called Piggy Pig Pig and was most impressed by some of the guitar work, having played the guitar since I was ten (a Sears silvertone) and having been influenced by everyone from Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, and Jimi Hendrix I thought wow this Trower cat can play, I have been a fan ever since. We will miss you John Lee, thanks for the music.

Steve,
I heard The song Daydream off the live album about 25 years ago and got hooked on the guy.I see him every time he gets out to the chicago area.Met him once too and got an autograph. Can't get that song out of my head (Daydream) I listen to it every single day! Where can I get the tablature for the riff that comes in about 2min. and 9 secs. into the song? I'd love to learn it.All I ever see are tabs for the intro. Give me a shout.Thanks. Fred.

I have to agree with your intro Steve. It's hard to believe its been at least 25 years since I first heard my first Robin Trower song. It may sound corny--but I'll never forget it. I was living in Germany (Munich) at the time--listing to the radio one evening--and not paying much attention--when like a bolt of lighting, "Little Bit Of Sympathy", came blaring through the speakers. Needless to say I was completely BLOWN AWAY! I went out the next day and looked for a copy of BRIDGE OF SIGHS. I certianly wasn't dissapointed!
To this day--in my mind--it stands as one of the best rock albums of all time. Anyway, THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT WEB SITE!! By the way if anyone knows of any TAB of Robins guitar work I would be very interested. Thanks again.

Why doesn't Robin put the old band back together like Journey, Peter Frampton and Deep Purple are doing? He could cash in on the nostalgia craze thats happening right now before the window of opportunity passes him by and give the fans what they really want, the old songs with the old band members. Maybe he will figure it out soon.

Hi, I have been playing guitar for over thirty years and I remember the first time a friend of mine told me about a guitar player from Procol Harum that put out a solo album. He said "He sounds like Hendrix" so being a Hendrix fanatic at the time, I bought the album and gave it a listen. From that moment I was hooked. I learned just about every song on that and the following albums. Over the years I've been lucky enough to see Robin Trower in concert about 23 times, and I have never seen a "bad" show. Trower has been an inspiration in my own guitar playing. My favorite music is blues/rock.

I dig your collection, man. You can tell that you've spent many hours here. Robin is one of the three greatest and most influencial guitarists ever.

I sympathize with your desire to see Robin Trower, as I have been in the same situation. My playing was also influenced by trower and, blues/rock is my musical passion.
I understand that while Robin does not sound like hendrix, he was most certainly influenced by Hendrix and Robert Johnson. If by chance you happen to hear of the where-abouts of "Victim of the fury" (entire CD) please let me know; Iburned the vinyl one up, years ago:)

Hi Steve. Will Robin tour with Roxy Music this summer now that the Deep Purple tour is off. If not, will Robin be touring the states at all in 2001. We were not able to see him last year and are hoping he comes to the U.S. this summer. A Bad Company/Robin Trower tour would be awesome. Thanx Steve and keep up the great work.

Dear Steve
A quick note to say WELL DONE with the great site,living in the UK you sure don't hear anything of RT, TROWER POWER etc are my only source of info. What went wrong with PURPLE/NUGENT tour??????????? Have seen Robin several times over the years in England and America..........never fails to impress with his virtuosity and enthusiasm......lets hope its not too long before our paths cross again.
Best wishes and keep up the good work.... it is appreciated

It didnt hit me until I read your story that Robin is 55. His music is as impactful today as it was 25 years ago. Thanks for a great story... and Im very jealous. Mike Pearce

For me, James Dewar will always be remembered as "The Voice" of Robin Trower. Thanks so much for all of the time and effort you put into this enjoyable tribute to Robin Trower and the family of individuals who have participated in the creation of what we all know as Robin Trower music. Great job, Steve

Reading this site brings back many memories. It was actually my sister that got me listening to Robin Trower back in the early 70's. I remember seeing him at Manchester's Free Trade Hall. Many fond memories of seeing bands then when I was 16-18. Mmmmmmm Now I just need to search out some CD's - still got the vinyl somewhere....

Hey Steve, Funky Paul sez you can really rock! If you've picked up on Robin, then I *know* it's true! I've been lucky enough to see RT five times here in Chi-Town, and each show was better than the last! I play a little myself, so stop by and download some soundzzz! My upcoming CD will feature a Troweresque song called "Playing From The Heart," and we all know imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Play and Pray!

Hello, fellow TROWER PEOPLE--I can't believe it!! I've actually discovered OTHER PEOPLE who are nuts about Robin Trower...this guy is the greatest rock guitarist, in my opinion, since Jimi Hendrix; Trower is simply FABULOUS!! I first really "noticed" his distinctive playing on Procol Harum's 1971 album, BROKEN BARRICADES; to make a long story short, when BRIDGE OF SIGHS came out in 1974, I was HOOKED. I've seen Trower perform "live" only twice, at the Ventura Theatre in 1999 and the Galaxy in Santa Ana in May 2000, but BOTH times he was superb...great web site, I appreciate it, and keep up the good work. --John Bass

Steve, here's a salute to the Trower fans who put Robin on top of MP3.com during the month of December. Our goal was 50,000 downloads for the month. The total number of downloads for December was 51,185. Robin's songs dominated both the Blues and Blues/Rock charts for the last half of the month. According to Robin's management, the folks at MP3.com "couldn't believe the popularity of our Guitar Hero."  Look for new additions to Robin's MP3 file soon. Thanks to all of you who helped make this a Merry Christmas for Robin and Co.

Hi Steve, Through Dec 20, Robin has already gone over 30,000 downloads on MP3.com. There has been a tremendous response from your visitors and from Zoso subscribers. With only ten days remaining, our goal of 50,000 is not only within reach, but by how much are we going to SMASH that goal.  I am really pumped up by the level of participation by Robin Trower fans who have really taken this quest to heart. No time to let up now. This is the home stretch, Trower Fans. Play one for Robin!!! Ron

How did I never see this site before? A big thumbs up! I'm an old rocker who played locally in Cincy, OH, back in the mid-60's into the late 70's. I think there are only 3 or 4 guitarists worthy of being called great; Robin is one of them. I got to see him live back when Dave P. was with his band - awesome experience. I saw Hendrix live too, way back when. No comparison. Trower wins hands down. I've been a fan since the Procol Harum days. I've got almost all of Robin's recordings (getting the newest one for Christmas). I love all his stuff, new and old, but I think one of the most underrated guitar albums of all time is "Victims of the Fury." When I listen to "Into the Flame" without getting a body rush, just bury me cause I'll be dead, at least inside. My wife, Jan, is not much of a rock fan, but when I put Robin on the old stereo, she says, "That's the way you're supposed to play the guitar."

When I was a teenager I got turned on to Trower and both times he came to Peoria I wasn't of age.1st time was at a bar so I couldn't get in but the second time I sat outside the gates at an outdoor riverfront concert just so I could hear Robin jam. He hasn't been back to Peoria since and I'm 28 and counting so come on Robin. We're ready for you

Steve, just read your interview with Davey Pattison, and you got him JUST RIGHT! He has been one of my best friends for almost 20 years now (God Father to my kids). Knowing him aside, he has one of the most moving (and sexy) voices I've ever heard. Funny Davey moments? He is SUCH a musical perfectionist...his wife (ex, now) and I used to push his buttons something awful! We'd put on something like "Dead or Alive" and he'd go nuts...he could never understand that you could just like to dance to something, it didn't have to be a masterpiece! He'd get so mad at us and we'd just laugh! On another note, it is so nice to hear his blues album. Doing a solo blues album has always been his dream, and what a dream he shared with all of us!! Keep up the great site...I am browsing and enjoying myself and memories of "knowing the band"!! Lisa

I just picked up the Go My Way cd and am happy to say it sounds like Trower's best in some time. I noticed Robin is touring out in the west again in October and my friends and I are hoping the band has time to make it to the Twin Cities this fall. Robin has such a loyal following and hopefully the Mpls radio stations will wake up and start listening to what people want to hear and not keep playing the same old Clapton and the likes of which we are all bored to death of. I am so glad Robin isn't afraid to play his guitar the way it should be played. (from deep inside his soul) Congratulations on your trip to so cal to see Trower, Steve. You got to witness the best this planet has to offer and it sounds like you had a great time. Keep up the great work with this site. We all appreciate your loyalty to Robin and you bring out the best in him.

Great site! In reading all of the comments from your readers, there is obviously a common thread among all of us-once you have seen Robin Trower live, your life is changed forever.

HEY STEVE. THANKS FOR THE LEAD ON THAT FEB POSTER. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I'M KIND OF GLAD ROBIN'S MUSIC ISN'T "MAINSTREAM" OR "COMMERCIAL". US FANS KNOW HOW GIFTED AND TALENTED ROBIN REALLY IS AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. I MEAN I'VE TRIED TO TURN A FEW FRIENDS ON TO HIS MUSIC BUT THEY'LL NEVER QUITE FEEL IT LIKE I DO. YOU GOTTA HAVE A DEEP SOUL AND UNDERSTAND EVERY NOTE HE BENDS (UNLIKE THESE FAKE RADIO PRODUCERS). I PICTURE ROBIN AND ETTA JAMES DOING A SLOW BLUES SET SOMEWHERE, SOMEDAY!!! (MAYBE AN OLD RUNDOWN CHURCH). DEJA VIBE ON OF COURSE! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

Great Site! It's good to see that true artists are kept alive through sites like these. I was fortunate enough to work as head of security on certain stops during the passion tour. He could blow away a crowd every night. What was interesting was to see the crowds grow in size as the night went on. Many times the crowd would begin as a 100 or so and by the end of the night it would grow to well over 400-500 easily. We really kept the fire marshalls busy in those venues :)

I've just checked your site for the first time, Steve and it's so satisfying to realise the respect there is wordwide for the great Robin Trower. I've enjoyed Robin's music for 30 years and had the great pleasure to see him perform in Glasgow during the Victims of the Fury tour in the 70's.He definately does not receive the respect he should from the popular music press who seem more interested in the Claptons of this world!! Along with the late great Tommy Bolin, who actually supported Robin during one of his US tours,he stands head and shoulders above them all,in my opinion.Good luck and here's hoping Robin tours this side of the pond soon us we feel a little neglected over here.Cheers,Ed Lamont

Great to read about Robin latest tour. I saw him in London in ´73 I guess, opening for Jethro Tull. And right now I´m listening to Go My Way wich is everything I hoped it would be. Great record, must be one of his best ever! Robin has always been a great inspiration for my own playing, truly one of a few. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Excellent website!!!I saw Trower for the 7th time Saturday night August 5th at Grant St. Dance Hall in Lafayette, La. This was one of the best concerts I've seen him play in the last 25 years. This is also the best trio he's had in years. I just found out from TrowerPower what happened to Jimmy DeWar. I sent him a message along with my prayers. Richard is the best singer in the Trower trio since DeWar. After the show, we rode around the back of the building, & there was Robin sitting in the front seat of a white Lincoln Towncar calmly signing autographs & taking his time to speak to each & every one of his fans who were patiently waiting in line for their turn to meet him. He was a most pleasant, polite fellow. I thanked him & he shook my hand & thanked ME for being there. It impressed me that he is one of the few guitar greats that hasn't forgotten that it's his fans that have helped him achieve the status he deserves. He's a fine musician & a fine man, all the way around.

Needles to say, for those of you who are Trower fans, myself included, it is great to see him live. (Recently had the opportunuity to hear him again) For those of you interested or plain surfing...get your body, mind and sprirt to a store and begin to enjoy today.

Saw the Greenville show on the 26th. The best one of the three great shows i've seen in the last ten years. The new album is also the best of the last 4 or 5 that i've bought . I invited 2 friends who had never heard of Robin to the concert and they were blown away. i just hope he comes back to Greenville S.C. to play in the new Handlebar concert hall when it opens in a few months. BTW great site!!!!!!!!!

Steve, Thanks for a great site, really enjoy it and have visited it several times through-out the year. Saw Robin last year for the first time since 75 and was returned immediatly into the fan I use to be. Plan to see him tommorrow night at Jaxx. Taking my wife, a big Springsteen fan . . . I don't know, hope she enjoys it also. But as for myself, I'm a bigger fan than ever. Glad to see him out on the road. Last year's show was not a dissapointment, I thought I was back in 75 again. Have turned my band onto him, most are younger than me but never really heard of him. Looking forward to a great show tommorrow and hopefully an autograph. Will write back my review if time permits. Thanks again. and check out Dewars Stumbledown Romancer if you haven't yet. It's good stuff. Hope he's still hangin in there haven't heard any recent news. - Mike

Hi Steve, Thanks for the great website. I've been a fan of Robin Trower for a very long time. He IS one of the most under-rated guitarists of all time. Do you know if "Beyond the Mist" will ever be re-released? That's one I don't have and it would sure be nice to add to my collection. Thanks again for the website.

I was at the July 11 show in Indy also and continue to be impressed by Robin's creativity and soulful delivery. It was about the 7th time I've seen him since 1975 but first in several years. He's better than ever and the club was small enough I could get up close enough to see the settings on his Deja Vibe pedal. Just too awesome to describe other than to say I couldn't get the smile off of my face the whole night. Hope you get the chance to see him somwhere soon.

Steve-Just a short note concerning the July 11th show in Indianapolis. RT was in top form, not missing a lick. At age 55, his skill level is still top notch. Richard's vocals were "perfectly" complimentary. And of course Alvino's drumming was dynamic. "Loud and Proud" for all who were fortunate enough to attend. By the way, great w-site. I also loved your article on your "1st" RT show. Thanx again, Steve

Hello Steve, I am very impressed by your site. I had no idea that Robin Trower had so many loyal fans worldwide. My husband, Richard Watts, is touring with Robin at the moment (bass and vocals). I'm going to meet them in Dallas on the 8th August and after hearing so many excellent reviews I am very excited to hear Robin live. We've known Robin for years. Richard really is honoured to be starting his career with such a legend!

Congratulations Steve. I just finished reading "The Chronicle" and found it to be totally engrossing, as if I was there with you. Thanks for sharing and for such a wonderful, detailed account of your adventure. I, too, was sorry to see it end. Think I'll read it again! Great job, Steve.

My mouth hung open the entire concert from amazement and I fell IN LOVE with his craft/ ability/ power. I will forever sing his praise. On August 9th 2000 in Dallas, TX at the Canyon Club in the Bronco Bowl, you'll see me in front -- probably the ONLY one who will be headbanging to RT! Heh heh heh...

Hello USA, I've been a fan since the seventies, when Day of the Eagle knocked me out. I have since collected all of Robin's music, both on vinyl and again on CD. I was lucky enough to see Trower live on two occasions in England, once at Birmingham Odeon circa '76 and also at Leicester University in 1979, when he was supported by Samson (Bruce Dickinson's band before he joined Iron Maiden). At both gigs his band had the classic Bill Lordan / James Dewar lineup, and the power of their playing was awesome. I remember my ears ringing for days afterwards ! I do hope that Robin decides to tour in the UK again before too long, as he still has many fans here who want to see his superb guitar playing.

Hi Steve, I just finished reading your interview with Mr.Pattison and really enjoyed it! I met Robin after a ‘Victims of the Fury’ show in 77 where James Dewar sang a very soulful Hannah. And as singers for Trower in the post/ Dewar age I gotta tell you that Davey Pattison was the best, on the record, or live! I really miss their collaboration and thank you for encouraging a reunion if possible. I'm looking forward to this new return to Rock cd from Trower and hopefully this new singer does not sound as muddy as his last(Livingston). Also where can I get some sound and footlage of the Trower/Pattison era? Thanks again from all of us Robin Trowermaniacs for your great site.- Bern. bscott@gallerymagazine.com

Steve, I saw Robin Trower in Paris (France) in 1976. A tough concert for him if I remember well. The opening act was Thin Lizzy who never played! They made us wait more than an hour, then Lynott and another guy went on stage telling the crowd they had a bus accident on their way to Paris and couldn't play. Linnot had his left arm in a cast. People yelled at them. Then Trower and his band played. The crowd was really wild. I never understood why people were throwing stuff in his direction. At some point during a long solo a beer can landed on Trower's head. I clearly remember the object bouncing up from his skull. He quickly rushed back and looked around, scared, while still playing his solo. After that he was really pissed, played another 20 minutes and left. What a night.

All kidding aside, we all had a great time and enjoyed Your company. I'm waiting to see all of the photos that we have from the weekend. I was glad that You not only saw two Trower Concerts, but You had a chance to meet Robin and get all of Your albums signed. Thanks for making the trip to California and coming to hear my band as well. Thanks again for being a drum tech/roadie. I was beginning to feel that You were a part of the team for the Bill Lordan Experiment. You did an excellent job at helping out at the CoachHouse.

I fortunately have the opportunity to see him tonight at a local club in Spokane WA, 5/10/00.

I was thrilled to find this outstanding web site, and I always knew I wasn't alone! I am a drummer, and Robin has always been at the top of my list of favorite guitarists. I have seen him twice, and had the luck of saying hello and shaking his hand once. I always have about thirty students here in Phoenix, and all of them learn a Trower tune or two! That way his music is being passed down to a new generation of musicians, hopefully influencing them in a positive way. Great work Steve, and thank you.

THANK YOU STEVE FOR THE OUTSTANDING SITE. BEST TROWER SITE I HAVE FOUND YET. YOU CAPTURE THE ESSENSE OF THE MAN WHO MANY OF US BELIEVE TO BE THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER IN THE WORLD TODAY. I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY ROBIN AND HIS MUSIC HAS BEEN BLACK-BALLED BY THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IN GENERAL AND THE RADIO STATIONS SPECIFICALLY. WHEN PEOPLE HEAR HIS MUSIC THEY ARE BLOWN AWAY BY HIS SOUND AND WONDER WHY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF HIM. I HAVE SEEN HIM PLAY IN FRONT OF 18,000 PEOPLE IN 1974 AT THE MET CENTER IN BLOOMINGTON, MN AND ALSO IN FRONT OF 800 PEOPLE AT THE CABOOSE BAR IN MINNEAPOLIS IN 1992. HE TRUELY LOVES WHAT HE DOES AND RESPECTS THE FANS WHO COME TO LISTEN TO HIM. I MET HIM IN 1998 AT THE MEDINA BALLROOM OUTSIDE AND HE TALKED WITH US FOR A FEW MINUTES. HE IS A KIND, KIND MAN. MANY OF MY MUSICAL FRIENDS ARE HOPING HE COMES TO MINNESOTA THIS SUMMER ON HIS "GO MY WAY" TOUR. HE WILL SELL OUT ANY VENUE HE GETS TO PLAY. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU MUCH FOR THE BEAUTIFUL AND INFORMATIVE SITE. YOU AND ROBIN ARE THE BEST.

In trying to explain to my boyfriend WHO Robin Trower was ( He's been in a cave for the last 25 or so years.....) AND WHY I paid so much for tickets to see him May 10th..I came to your web site. It is an excellent source of information and very well done. I have seen Robin play and as embarassing as this is to say the man can bring me to tears. I can't wait to see him again, and if you need ANY help let me know!!!!! There can NEVER be enough on this man:) Kristine

Truly a great site, Steve. It's sure nice to find that there are others that still appreciate the wellspring of inspiring music that rose from the cast of characters included in your page. I just recently attempted to blow up my car stereo with "A Tale Untold", and I've been hunting for Davey P. and you helped me find him. Rotsa Ruck. Keep rockin. Mark

Steve; While reading Your interview I felt that it was very interesting and very well-done. I felt that it read like a book. The nature of the questions asked were what people who are fans would want to know. You have a knack for posing questions that kept the interview interesting and moving along. Chronologically it covered much of my musical career. I'm looking forward to meeting You and attending a Robin Trower concert with You and my band members in May. Thank-You for all of Your hard work on making this interview happen. You obviously spent a lot of time on putting this together and it looks great. I'm curious to read what the feedback will be because I'm sure everyone will enjoy it. Thanks again for the time You and Your wife spent on my story. And remember to always "JUST BE KIND." Sincerely, Bill Lordan

Once again, Steve, I must praise you on your dedication and hard work for providing us (Trower fans worldwide) with such a wonderful web site. It is clearly the class of the field. Your initial story demonstrated to me what I have always found is that Robin really enjoys making his music and enjoys sharing it with his fans. Every time I have waited after a show for an autograph, he has always been so accomodating even after some really exhausting performances. Its not hard to understand why he has such a loyal following. I don't think I can wait for him to reach the midwest. I just may have to take a trip to CA to catch one of the early gigs. Thanks again, Steve, for all your hard work on this jewel of a web site. I'm sure Robin would be proud.

Many thanks for the great Bill Lordan interview, especially the info on James Dewar's solo album "Stumbledown Romancer."   Since I last posted about this CD, I learned that it has gone out of print after selling out its first run. Chrysalis/UK never gave it any support and if it weren't for the excellent UK mail order house CeeDee Mail, and the Internet, no one would have known about it.   There's obviously still a demand for the CD, so how do we encourage Chrysalis to reissue it? Suggestions welcomed. Thanks again to Steve for this excellent Site! Best, Joan May

Wow! Steve, your website is an inspiring tribute to a man who I consider to be THE MOST under-rated guitarist in history. I am moved by your sincerity & dedication. I thought I was the only living Trower fanatic left. I've seen The Master 6 times, each time better than the last. The most recent, which was way too long ago, was at Portland's Roseland Theatre in '93. As usual, the show left me both awe-stricken at HIS mastery of the blues, & stupified that this guitar wizard is STILL completely ignored by everyone except his loyal, loving fans. I am on pins & needles waiting to find out His 2000 tour dates! Live To Rock, Rock To Live...Deeter

I play part time in a fun rock band and was hoping to find some lyrics for some of the Trower classics, especially those on "Bridge of Sighs". You wouldn't believe how hard it was for a few of us to decipher the "...I know I laghed out loud, but that was then.." line in "Too Rollin' Stoned" so we could do our hommage version in clubs without being complete dorks (except for our attempts at re-creating his fluid solos). Next we want to add "Lady Love" and "Bridge of Sighs" to our set list and were hoping to find a fan site sith the lyrics ACCURATELY recorded. As an avid fa, do you have any suggestions for us? "Too Rolling Stoned" (even our version) goes over so well at clubs it made us want to cover a few more, since we're all Trower fans in this rock cover band here in San Diego. Thanks for any help you can give us.

I WISH HE WOULD SING HIMSELF SINCE HE KNOWS HIS MUSIC WELL AND JUST FIND A BASSIST SINCE LIVINGSTON LEFT. I GUESS WITH DAVY'S NEW SOLO PROJECT, HE WONT REUNITE, BUT IT IS A THOUGHT AND IO WOULD LOVE TO SEE DAVY REUNITE WITH MY #1 MUSICIAN OF ALL TIME.

Due to some computor problems I lost the address links below this line. The addresses are still good......Steve

Great job, Steve. I've been a devoted Trower fan and collector since I first heard Victims of the Fury in 1980. I certainly remember hearing Robin Trower's music in the early seventies and the trademark vocals of Jim Dewar, but I didn't get hooked until I heard "Jack and Jill", "Roads to Freedom", and "Only Time". Because of military overseas service, it would be eight years later before I would see him live in Salinas CA in Feb 88 (just prior to "Take What You Need"). Since then, I've made it a point to see him at every available oportunity on every tour. I've been to 12 concerts and the only place to see Robin is in the front row. Robin's talents as a guitarist and songwriter are vastly underrated, so it is a real joy to see so many people who appreciate Robin for the performer and for the class act person he is. Steve, your site is totally awesome. Look forward to visiting it again.

The Davey Pattison interview was OUTSTANDING!! I learned a lot of info such as the friendship between Davey and Jimmy. I had also wondered if Davey would like to have a reunion with Robin. You asked some excellent questions (as Davey acknowledged) and brought out some very personal and heartfelt answers. Best line from the interview IMHO - "Gamma hit you over the head, Robin massaged the heart" WOW!! Good job man. How many versions can I listen to? How many you got?!?!?

Steve,I have a few comments #1 of all the people that have a signature model stratocaster  why not Robin Trower? #2 I just purchused a calender with Fender Guitars on it. On some artist birthdays they are named. But not Robin Trower. #3 He also never gets any air play where I live. I would be willing to buy a Trower signature model If they would make it. Do you know If this has ever ben considered.

Steve; Your efforts are especially appreciated by one who was a fan of Robin's as far back as 1967 during his Procol Harum days. I have amassed a collection of vinyl, cassettes, and CDs of everything that Robin has done up through 20th Century Blues. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Robin live at Chicago's House of Blues April 1, 1999, accompanied by my son and youngest brother, also ardent fans. Bridge of Sighs was the album that did it
for me, and while James Dewar was the consumate voice of Robin Trower, Robin's talent will carry him above all other pretenders regardless of who backs him up. Great site; thanks. Joe

Daydream, Bridge of Sighs, Two Rolling Stoned, Extermination Blues, or ? anything new or old, "Video or CD" pref video. But Raw w/long
solos. I have a hard time finding stuff on the internet, but am willing to buy (purchase) Thanks. Anyways my Trower collection is: #1 Signed LP "Bridge of Sighs" (new release album, not original release, but thats OK I still treasure it. #2 (8) CD's, old stuff and new stuff. I'am missing a few CD's in the middle. Thats it for my collection. But it's everything to me. He's the greatest Guitarist on the planet and I want someday to play like him.

Did you guys go on tour for that album, and if so, what songs from it were performed? More importantly, how can a fan such as myself get some of that stuff recorded live? Please help!!!

Steve, I really enjoyed visiting your web page and plan to return often in the future. I am a guitar player of 20+ years and have been a Trower fan even longer. I saw him in 76 with Golden earring as the opening act here in Birmingham. The stage had a backdrop with a photo of the lunar surface all lit up in green. He was having problems with his fx pedals and apologized to the audience for his "f***ing equipment", but still put on a mesmerizing show. Thank you for taking time to answer my e-mail and KEEP ON ROCKIN'

Just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much I enjoyed looking over your web site. I too have been a big fan of Robin's since I first heard "In This Place" - a long, long time ago. That song and "Daydream" made me pick up a guitar and learn how to play. I have closely followed his career and have been fortunate enough to see him play 12 times (but who is counting). I have always felt that he is really a guitar players guitar player. Reading
the letter from him was just amazing - what a great story. I have always believed Robin to be a truly nice person. Even though I have never met him, he smiles a lot on stage and seems genuinely thankful and humbled when the audience showers him with applause at the end of yet another outstanding solo. Listening to interviews and watching his hot licks video he just comes accross as such a down to earth human being. Your own stories
reinforce this. His playing just seems to touch something inside, I don't know how else to describe it. Thanks for putting up the site - I will stop back again and look into some of the tapes and videos. I believe I was even at some of those shows!

first,...many kudos on the most excellent webpage!!! second,...it's so refreshing to find fellow TROWER fans as dedicated as myself. being a stratocaster lover, i'll give you two guesses as to who my main influences are. duh...lemme see...? i've seen TROWER many times, whenever he comes to my area, and he continually blows me away!! the technique this man posseses is without a doubt enviable to the point of insanity.(good lord ...i'd
literally KILL for his vibrato!!) jimi hendrix,while being the INNOVATOR,was,in my humble opinion,sloppy as shit in most live situations; except for those moments(band of gypsies) TROWER has NEVER disappointed me LIVE.

Big Trower Fan, Saw him play this past April in Washington D.C. It was inspirational and rekindled interest in the man. I will be checking out your site further. Looking for information on Dewar and his condition.

Thanks, Steve. I will come back and visit often. As a big fan of Procol Harum I was turned on to Robin's playing back in the 60's. I saw him perform this summer in St. Louis and he is truly amazing to this day. He becomes the guitar. I don't know of any other artist who enjoys playing any more than Robin Trower and it shows. I would love to see him do one more album with Gary Brooker, perhaps with Matthew Fisher and Jack Bruce. What a
blues dimmension they could create! Thanks for this great site. Brightly, Jim Krapf

Steve: thanks for this fine website, it's obvious that you are putting alot of work into it, and thank you very much for the great '74 Guitar Player article, i've been wanting to read it forever. And let me take this chance to say, Robin Trower, if you ever stop by this page, this is one fan who does NOT and never did buy into the "hendrix imitator" horseshit. You have your own guitar voice and i heard that from the first time i ever heard your music,
back in 73 or 74. Guitar players: i'm looking for Guitar issue December 95, in which "Too Rolled Stoned" was transcribed. if anybody could copy that tab for me,including the bassline, i've got all kinds of tabs, magazines and songbooks, to trade. Almost anything you might want.

Hi Steve! Great Trower Pages! If you haven't already, check out his incredible and largely overlooked work on Procol Harum's First album -- a wildly unique sound and some of his very best, in my opinion, and it was his opinion too in that 1980 Guitar Player interview. Glad you got a copy of James Dewar's Stumbledown Romancer CD, with Matthew Fisher on keyboards and producing. Anyone wanting this CD can order it from the very reliable UK Mail Order house, CeeDee Mail. See the URL I entered above (hopefully correctly)
for links to several pages about this CD inlcuding the ordering info. Best, Joan :-)

Well, as I usually say, "Keep On Rockin'", which you certainly do at this website. So no now that Y2K is here, I wonder if Trower's going to release a "21st Century Blues" CD? All the best, Colin Hartridge (yet another Canuck!)

Great site Steve!! Its awesome cuz you cover some territory the other two main RT sites don't. I enjoyed your RT correspondence/personal story page very much. He's truly an awesome dude and best guitarist. The articles on RT are most excellent. I haven't seen most of them. I am less interested in the audio tapes. Do ya have any of his videos? They are hot. Thanx for the great web site. Best regards. George

IMO, Robin Trower is the best living guitar player there is. I've seen him nine times and was priviledged enough to have met him twice. Awesome!
