I am going to try and catch him on opening day at Summerfest June 25th. I've seen him before when he was playing large arenas in the mid 70's.

I have a huge batch of pictures from when I used to freelance as a photographer back then. That was my first way to get into shows for free, now I get paid to work them.

Time to dust off Bridge of Sighs.

I saw him on David Letterman and he looked 90 years old... and that was at least ten years ago. :eek: But I'll probably go see him at the House of Blues.

Saw him at the Paradise Theater - Boston in the late 1980's. He didn't look a day over 70...:D Unfortunately James Dewar was no longer with the band, may he rest in peace.

I've seen him twice in the last couple years. Last year I saw him on the day of his birthday.. Both times in small venues and close up and personal..

Yep.. he looks old, but man can he still wail..

The first time I saw Trower was in 1973 he backed up King Crimson.
Trower played the entire Bridge of Sighs album and a lot of Twice Removed from Yesterday.
King Crimson did Starless & Bible Black, needless to say it was fantastic!

I haven't seen RT since the mid '70s when they toured arenas with that monster sound system! I do find myself listening to his stuff quite often, even now. Maybe he'll play our area- I'd love to see him in a small hall.

I don't care if he looks like he's 90. So does Peter Frampton. Life goes on.

...as I've been listening to a lot of old Trower recordings recently. I'm going to have to put that date on my to-do schedule. I am also a big fan of Davey Pattison when he was with Gamma.

Saw him a few years ago in a strangle hole in the wall bar in Northern Indiana. Great show but lousy venue!

Me as well. I saw him back in 1987 with Gregg Allman, but my wife has not. We will be at the Marquee as well.

What is the Marquee like reserved seating, First come first serve? I don't see tickets online or anything, Bob

Trower has a live album from his tour last year - RT@RO08 aka Robin Trower at Royal Oak, Michigan 2008. Check his website. He stills plays fantastic and gets a lot of rotation on my systems.
