I saw that concert at the winterland in SF. My friend passed out and I was a newby to concert going and mistakenly dragged him outside for fresh air, we were stuck outside and ended up listening to the rest of the show through the door. What a night, what a venue thanks Bill Graham, and Robin et al.
If this was the Winterland show on this tour, I was there. Journey came on before Robin did. It was a concert of sensory overload. I've loved both bands back then and it doesn't get any better than the atmosphere at Winterland. Jimi's spirit was everywhere.
I went out & bought a record player, so I could here the album someone passed to me a few years ago.. I heard it on CD, but I wanted those subtones from that bass! Man, did I ever get them!! If you truly love this music, listen to it on LP when you get the chance.. talk about resonance! (especially if you have hardwood floors)
FIRST OF MANY CONCERTS SEEN AT OLD CINCY OHIO VENUE WHERE 'THE WHO' TRAGEDY HAPPENED; BARELY MISSED GOING WITH FIVE OTHER FIRST YEAR LAW STUDENTS WHO WERE 'HAVES' WHILE I WAS A 'HAVE NOT'-SO WHAT? SEEING TROWER WITHIN 25 YARDS IN 1977 IS STILL VIVID AND PRECISE IN THIS FAILING MIND OF MINE...egOMEZbest....Bridge of Sighs, I think, remains top selling among his catalogue?
King Crimson brought this band to open their Houston show. That was a sonic experience. Jim Dewar's bass was so powerful it resonated in the chest cavity as well as the eardrums. The word "awesome" is regrettably overused these days, but in this case it is well deserved.
Guess what-----Trower was the first concert I went to when I was 16 in Pittsburgh and the most recent concert I saw?-----Trower last month at 50! (Greenville, SC). Thank to Robin Trower and his bandmates for keeping the bar high all these years!
@bullkid4 what was it like going to a concert at your age? i was about 6 years older than you when this was popular i didn't get to see trower but i did see just about every body else, including rick daringer, johnny and edgar winter, etc. i also listened to peter framton and montrose at this time.
i saw the band at Ft.Worth convention center...I was 18 and soooo wasted,good times
