After the first number Robin  shouted
                                                                       " Are you alright!",
                                                              somebdy a few rows back shouted,
                                                                   " WE ARE  NOW!!!"

                                                       The "I wish " comments

 Since this is a site done for and by the fans I have to mention a few things that were brought up a number of times in reviews, emails, conversations at the shows that people had.  In no way are these meant as criticisms but they were comments non the less and should be mentioned.  They actually weren't so much negatives as "wish they had of.... " comments and really show the interest people have in Robin Trower.
  The most common comment was regarding the set list and that they "wished" you would have done more of the older songs.  No Time was one song I heard mentioned allot.
I think too that the UK crowds were expecting more of what they remembered. The reactions to the BOS stuff was that familiar reaction to something they loved. I think it would have been better to do a few less new ones (they will buy the cd and learn to love them too) but I think the UK fans,  would have enjoyed a few songs from other early releases as that was who they remembered.
 Someone with the catalogue of songs that Robin has written over the years may not realize that one of the reasons this tour was so successful was because a lot of older people remembered you from years ago and wanted to relive those moments.  I was told of a number of people who would never go to the venues you played at normally but because it was Robin Trower they wanted to see him again so badly that they made the trip.  They wanted to see and hear what they remembered no matter what.
  I know this is difficult for artists to understand as they usually like to move on and play the new songs but I think given the circumstances of this tour,  the target market would have liked to hear more from different eras.  You have to remember, you have the ability to allow people to go back to their younger days, a rare gift.
The new songs are awesome and even better performed live, but consider opening the list up a bit more for the next shows.  I think that while it would not make any difference to the number of people who will go to the shows but it will create another level of excitement for your fans.
 

Song "wishes"      No Time (very well known in the UK and probably the most
                                                  requested song I heard that was not played).
                               Alethea (letting Pete show off a bit) and a great standard from
                                                the early tours.
                                Fool And Me, Passion, Tear It Up and Lady Love were also
                                                mentioned in conversations

 The other thing I heard a lot of was "I wish there was more stuff to buy"  that there was
not enough merchandise to buy. I saw a few people walk up to the table, wallets open , ready to buy everything and anything. A few more items should be considered like posters,  a picture of the band, hats that sort of thing.  I know myself, if the posters had been for sale I would have bought at least 4 or 5 of that alone.

I would also suggest you look at recording and releasing the shows as legitimate
"bootlegs".  I have already seen one show on Ebay with some very professional looking
cover work.  I am aware of at least four other recordings that are out there. It will not take
long for these to show up.  Lots of bands do this.  On the ticket have a web address and
people will go there to purchase the show they went to see.  It doesn't have to be fancy.
A plain cover with the show date would work.  Don't underestimate this market.

While advertising is expensive, advertise a bit more. Use the internet to get people to put
up posters in music and record stores.  I had a few people offer to volunteer. They will
do it because they believe in the music. Trower fans are like that.  Remember that a lot of people went to numerous shows. Trower-heads if you will.  Middle aged Trower-heads.

Change the write up that goes to the venues web sites for announcement of the show by
taking the reference out of the "white Hendrix"  He's not. This is Robin Trower.

 And since this is my story I can't resist having a bit of fun with it so for me personally I would like to hear stuff like For Earth Below and Smile, Caladonia, Hanna, and Go My Way, but from what I have heard I thought I would have some fun and play with the set list ....... and give you my "wish"setlist based on what was said to me.

                                             Too Rolling Stoned
                                                 Sweet Angel
                                        Passion or Tear It Up
                                            Living Out Of Time
                                                  No Time
                                                   Daydream
                                                  Alethea
                                      Rise Up Like The Sun
                                           Day Of The Eagle
                                              Bridge Of Sighs
                             Please Tell Me or What's Your Name
                                           Close Every Door

                                     Little Bit Of Sympathy
              Encores:             Fool And Me
                                                Lady Love

 And you know to be honest, I would have loved to have played a bit with the band maybe at the soundcheck.... but there is just no time for that unfortunatly . I had mentioned this to them but only under the condition that Robin was not in the building!
It would have been fun!
