Trower never got the recognition he deserved, great vocal and drum solo.

[EcoPaintSpecialists1]

Legend ! Thanks posting this, stopping time

[rckpaynez28]

I don't have the album anymore. moved and they got lost., plus i got married for a bit

[tabs2007]

Top guitar player..

[rckpaynez28]

I had this album around 1976, does anyone know where I might be able to find it on c.d. My girlfriend likes country so I would be listening to it in my car. Thanks for any help.

[tabs2007]

@rckpaynez28 Burn it to Disc ! With others of course..

[lastdaysguitar]

Athelia.

[Cougar1961]

Guitar legend :)

[toomanygittars]

James Dewar had a great voice for this kind of music.

[margovallen]

I'm wondering whatever happened to the video of 'Fine Day' in this level of HD quality?

[TheStianer]

gatortailor, you are a complete knob, that drum solo was epic

[dr05guitar]

wow, love this sound....

[gatortailor]

This is great! That is, until the drum solo. I hate drum solos. I pray one day drum solos will become a thing of the past, and the world will be a better place,

[margovallen]

@gatortailor Whatever! You must admit that 'for a drum solo'.. this particular one keeps the drive alive.. and this drummer is a most soulful player.

Even as a drummer, myself... I think some drum solos are quite mundane and boring... but, this one is surely not one of those :-)

[dawggybonz]

very tight live performance by a classic power trio.

[fireblossom2u]

Jimmy Dewar was a unique and great voice. Robin was and is the real deal...a guitarists guitarist.

[ohrofax]

well, robin is pure dynamite

[luizlauretinodemelo]

ISSO LINDO PARA SEMPRE VALE OURO.....

[HereandThereWeGo]

Anyone else see the resemblance between Robin and the drummer?

[q10a]

Jimmy Dewar singing and playing the bass is real cool. RIP

[chazz5383]

LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1



[kingdiamond69]

Good ole Jimmy Dewar im so glad i got to see him on the in city dreams tour

[SuperMimi1957]

thats tommy shaw from STYX playing drums! ha..ha

[4evakezy]

@SuperMimi1957 if you'd have read the stuff that comes up on the screen it explains that he joined the band and thats why he did a drum solo

[4evakezy]

@4evakezy plus its actually Bill Lorden...

[Realitytourist]

Robin doesn't take enough fast and riffy guitar solos, so this is a treat!

[Jaggiebutt]

one of the greatest guitarists all time, live he blows you away everytime!

[xXmegaRoryXx]

2:47 awesome drum solo!!!

[Fashizle20]

F'n Aye these chaps are quite good; Believe me, R.T. still got it! TY GGH,nice post!

[TonyRomeoUSA1]

Hmm. I studied Robin's gear and set up live for a number of years : I think he employed a Dan Armstrong Range Booster as well as a Fender Blender for his overdrive / distortion . The wa-wa was most certainly a Tychobrahe Wa ( very rare ) . Later he added : MuTron II envelope filter , two Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress Flangers , the Univox Uni-vibe . I never saw / heard him employ delay, though he recorded with an occasional EchoPlex. Mostly he played 50 watt Marshall heads I saw JMP's

[robs2962]

love dewars voice forever!!!

[bassman17196]

Totally badass strat master

[stratster54]

totally killer!! this is why hes one of my masters!! thx for the vid..

[jf99151]

Drummer is kickin ass.

[sybalance]

Anyone venture a guess as to Trower's pedal rig at this show?

[slowmonkey156]

@sybalance Maybe a silicon Fuzz Face and a Vox wah-wah. But that's a TOTALLY wild guess.

[nerad1994]

Is robin the guy with the curley hair or straight

[laurahodson1993]

@nerad1994 straight

[nerad1994]

@laurahodson1993 thanks

[Ryder40k]

I had a go on that very kit when the guys were rehearsing.

[pike9346]

He has that "guitarface" because he feels what he plays...everything that flows from his guitar flows from him! Long live the Stratmaster!!!!!1

[MrSmokeydog]

What can you consider this as being ? A type of jazz rock hybrid . Damn do miss this type of music. And as I age I come to realize that I did'nt miss out on the 60's. I became a teenager and a rocker at the best time in music.

[rocknrolla81]

Trower needs to release one of his 70s shows on dvd. I'am surprised theres none I know of out besides bad quality boots.

[emusicworks]

best guitarface ever!!!

[zsxd55]

@emusicworks I saw him last year in Homefirth Yorkshire. STILL the best guitarface eva!!!

[wazenbee]

too cool great singing great rhythm section great guitar tone and shredding 70's style! Yea!

[drewandbailey1]

[runningshoe1]

This has to be one of the best live videos on youtube.

[jimmyjamesdylan]

Sly called Bill 'Lord of the Skins'....I call Robin 'Lord of the Strings' and everyone just calls the Caledonia Man James 'Jimmy' Dewar GOD RIP James

[diamondog99]
