    saw him live last summer. Venue holds just under 1.000 people.
    Powerful, high energy show, good support musicians, and the crowd was so happy.
    I knew him as "one of the guitar wizards I know I heard. "
    very nice show.
    And I don't normally go to "mainstram" shows.

    bridge of sighs is a gem! He is basically the white hendrix..though many others can gain that honor too. he came to fame shortly after JMs death.

    Saw him live also, and at his age he's still amazing.
    Bridge of Sighs is a classic.

    I love Robin Trower, been a fan going back to his days with Procol Harum, though his solo days when "Bridge of Sighs" was released in 74, up to his days with Jack Bruce in BLT in the 80s. He's a true guitar god, no less than Hendrix or Clapton.

    Bridge of Sighs took things in a whole new direction

    This is off toplc, but if you like this piece you must hear Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow
