@Doggeslife No back in the day he was definitely recognized as a great guitarist. As the years passed by though, he was never talked about among the music community. In 2004 when Guitar Player Magazine came out with their top 100 best guitar players of all time, Robin was nowhere to be found on the list. I was pleasantly surprised to see Stevie Ray Vaughan at number two, but very disappointed to not see Robin on the list whatsoever. Especially when a guy like Slash was in the top 20. 😕

Bridge of Sighs is classic R&B, start to finish. Robin Trower is undoubtedly the most underrated guitarist of his or any era. I've been a fan for almost 50 years & this particular album is timeless.

Nice to see other fans of a brilliant song here! Rock on Trowers fans!

It is so cool to see the younger generations loving the music that us oldsters grew-up with.

Those bluesy ghost riffs ! Trower's solos are an epic journey !

I just sold Trower's bass player a real Mint 1965 Fender Jazz Bass guitar, He was so happy, I'm 64 years old and love this music !!

Great reaction. Trowers "Day of the Eagle" is a good one too.

This was album of the year in Guitar Player Magazine the year it came out

This guy was always a hidden gem, not even many classic rockers back in this day knew anout this guy. One of the most unique talented bands ever. Bass players voice (can not remember his name) is so damn soulful. And Robins chops unmatched. Awesome pick.

James Dewar on vocals..one of the greats..people forget how great a vocalist..RIP

Robin is a great, great guitar player. Saw him in 1973. There were 3 bands playing that night and Robin was the middle man. Opening the nite was a band I’d never heard of..Aerosmith. Best opening act I ever saw. The headliner was Mott The Hoople and they were awesome as usual. I had heard Robins music a lot but this was my first time seeing him live. My mouth must have been hanging open the entire set and all I remember saying the whole time was “Wow”. And the bass player James Dewer was the big surprise. He was just amazing on bass and vocals. It was a great night and Trower did more than hold his own. Much more!!

LOVE your reaction dude!!! I'm almost 62 now but was 17 when I have this 8 track!!!!

It helps create the floaty sound)" then plays "the sentence". His happy smile of satisfaction each time, shows he really gives his ALL, Loving it !!!! He MASSIVELY loves his job, I'll go so far as to say, Even more than most other musicians do!

This line-up was the best power rock/blues trio ever ( including experience ) hands down

I first discovered Robin Trower when I was 23. A Scottish gentleman in the hospital loaned me his CD and I was totally mesmerized by his bluesy, soulful music. I loved the way your head was moving in a circle in the video, I can't do that for the life of me, LOL. *If you get a chance, "Deep Purple - Hard Lovin' Man" from 1970. It's the first thrash metal song in my opinion, plus a great organ solo just for kicks. Watch the black and white video on youtube, adrenaline-pumping energy! Cheers!

Bridge of Sighs is the best Robin Trower song, it is a must listen song Love your honest reactions

Jim Dewar had one those voices you never forget!

Finally a true reaction . you didn't have to a word . you let the music take you where it was supposed to take you. And of course Trower is the master that takes you there. A few other masterpiece of his. You might. Check out Are " Bridge of sighs" "Daydream" and. "About to begin"

YO Robin Trower is still touring and melting faces at 74 y/o!!

Robin's psychedelic blues guitar is unmatched. I bought Bridge of Sighs when it first came out. I got to meet Robin after a show at the House of Blues in Dallas in 2016. He signed one of my Strats and my BoS album. They're hanging in my studio never to be played again. He's definitely one of my guitar heroes.

His reaction to the drop in the middle is priceless!

I like that you let the song play through with limited commentary and then did your review.

Thank you for playing that .....Much Love

One thing Trower inherently understood was Groove. And this dude was groovin!!

Such a groove on this song. Trowers awesome fluid tone. Some huge blues influences. Great vocals too.

I sold it five years later as I was starting college to a friend of mine who took it with him to Europe while he served in the Air Force... and he eventually sold it too. So, there's a Guild X-79 floating around over there somewhere...

Robin is a sublime guitarist who has produced many great songs and albums since the 1970s. See him live to really appreciate his skill - he plays in the USA more than the UK. Perhaps he is more appreciated out there ... also cannot fail to mention the superb vocal talents of James Dewar (RIP) on this song.

James Dewar the vocalist/bassist was considered one of the best also RIP. We were so lucky to grow up in this generation. Saw Robin 4 more times along with Queen, Stones, The Who, Floyd, Zeppelin, Rush, Sabbath, Yes etc. Robin opened up the blues to a whole new generation. Robin is still playing today at 76

This is just BADASS in the good way

Just saw my beloved Robin Trower...the dude is still gifted makes pristine tones. PS. James Dewar had the best rock/soul/blues voice of the day. They were magnificent together in the day. RIPJames Dewar.

Priceless, old school vinyl - Thank You

Robin is one of these guys who is a true craftsman on guitar. He hones the perfect riff and tone on his songs. He isn't pyrotechnics. He's just a truly fine guitarist very influenced by Hendrix.

Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan the hit that launched his career and a phenomenal song I know you can appreciate it!!!........😁

James Dewar was the singer and bass, Trower played the Stratocaster guitar. He was in procuring harem before he went on his own. I discover hi in ‘76. We used to say sounds like Hendrix must be trower. He’s one of my favorites. Born in England but was significantly influence by B B King among other American blues players as well a James Brown among others.

robin trower is awesome! more please

James Dewar is the vocalist, he's gone but was an awesome accompaniment to Robin's guitar mastery. I've been a HUGE fan since the early 70s. Robin did a few songs dedicated to The Man...Jimi...Robin is one of the most underrated guitarists ever, and he's still rockin' today!

'87-''88 I was working security at the old DwnTwn movie house in Petaluma Ca, and Robin Trower came to town and Rocked the House. It was a great show- I got to watch it from the balcony all by myself. Had no idea he was even coming that night...

OMG... I have the exact same story. My Birthday night, 1989, in San Antonio, a concert with Robin Trower and Pat Travers. Pat performed first and when he finished he sat the rest of the night drinking with us, while we all watched Robin. I have had Tinnitus ever since. One of the best nights of my life.

Robin Trower is one of the best guitar players still doing his thing into his 70's! Not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and not on the top 100 guitar player list,but one of the very best ever to pick up a Fender Strat period.He never caved to the commercial side of music,just playing from his soul!

That is an awesome Robin Trower song. The whole album is great!!! 🎸🎸🎸

The bass player and vocalist is James Dewar. Stunning! Guitarist Robin Trower is a former Procol Harem member and really stepped up after that career.

I love your reaction. This man knows how to play the blues,rock. Amen.

Trower is LEGENDARY! If you get a chance, try the Title track from Victims of the Fury as well as songs off the From Earth Below album, and of course all the other song suggestions from the Bridge of Sighs album, which I consider to be ESSENTIAL ALBUM ROCK!

I'm loving the hell out of his reaction. My favorite Album since 1974, when I was 16. There has not been a week that has gone by since 1974 that I have either not listen to the songs off this album or played these songs on my guitar.

My little brother, God Rest his soul, turned me on to Robin Trower as he was a Hendrix protege and my brother loved Hendrix and his music. His fave band was Deep Purple which I see you have checked out.

Robin trower has been one of my favorite musicians for 30 years. That old bridge of sighs album is a keeper.

Perfect musical selection

They played this on the radio one day and I was blown away. I thought, "why the hell am I just hearing this?" I remember Robin Trower being in my older brother's record collection, but didn't remember much about it. I mentioned it to a friend and they told me about the album "Bridge of Sighs" being kick ass and I've been hooked ever since. I'm glad you did the video so more people can enjoy Robin's work. I think it important to mention that the vocals are actually Robin Trower's bass player, James Dewar who passed in 2002. One of the great rock vocalists that probably didn't get do credit.

let's not forget the late, great Jimmy Dewar on bass and vocals.. so good live..

Trower rules...takers get the honey...givers sing the blues....

I'd love to see your reaction to"Bridge of Sighs".

YaY! That's cool this song gave you memories of the down-home blues :) and blessings to you too. I would suggest Alvin Lee in Ten Years After-Spoonful and Rory Gallagher in Taste-Blister on the Moon

The great James Dewar on vocals. May he rest in peace.

I saw Trower at the old bus garage in Cincinnati couple decades ago, accidentally took a wrong door looking for the restroom, was feet from his bus while he was in it , bout to be manhandled by security , he came out saved me. Talked, I talk bout how I could never quite get his sound, he lit up, took me out to his spot on stage, showed me his rig, I took NONE of it in, thinking Robin Trower is talking to me! Onstage! About his setup! I was giddy lol

I've met Robin 3 times and he was always such a humble, gentle person. One of my top fave forever

Youngnan don't know what he's been missing closet Man Playing an Axe Next to The King JIMI HENDRIX I LOVE ROBIN TROWER AS WELL

Robin Trower speaks through his guitar, clear and precise, pure blues-rock. The only reason he had Hendrix comparisons is for releasing Bridge of Sighs just a few years after Jimi died. There weren't many other comparable guitarists in that style and Trower employed many of the same riffs Jimi used, but I think a bit more thought out giving it an air of "predictability", though sounding quite nice. Stevie Ray Vaughn was still practicing with his bro in Texas in 1974. And comparing Bridge of Sighs to a Hendrix classic like Electric Ladyland in 1974 was no contest, but when looked at in the present day and the current music being produced, it has greater impact and is nearly as classic. But c'mon, no one can touch Jimi, just like no one can touch the Beatles, they can try and still sound good though. I've been a Trower fan since early '75 and listening to music since '63. Nice video, glad to see you enjoyed the track. You have a good music sense yourself. Peace.
