Robin Trower - The Fool and Me (Live)

Live version of The Fool and Me from August 1973. This is an example of the trio working through a tune live before recording it.

Notice the extra lyric that doesn't make it on to the recorded version on Bridge of Sighs.

Enjoy!

Who wrote the lyrics, Trower or Dewar?

[johlum]

Trower.

[999plod]

Great stuff, any details on where recorded?

[johlum]

I was 16 at the time and just don't remember. My notes said August 1973. It was a bar my uncle managed to get me into.

What power. Only 3 guys. Amazing

[badnovelist289]

Those of us who have been listening to Rock and Roll since 1964 must acknowledge Trower as the master of the guitar...and his compositions, along with Dewar, are timeless. So, we should give him his due. Can you imagine Keith trying to keep up with this stuff? It's a comical notion.

Gotta agree with you badnovelist289, your right. Thanks youtube.

[hjheemels1969]

Very cool. Van Halen's cover is not too bad as well.

09-22-2011 ; Everything about this track ethical . Although the video effort diminished - one of the craftiest percussionists Unkle Robins' had outside Mubutu . Unkle Robin shines so hard I glow in the dark like high-ordinance . I long for the day Unikle Robin markets fresh studio-time initiatives pursuant to V-12 agency rule .This guitarrist crumples mighty steel like he been doin' it since dirt was new ! Sorry about the blog . -Seclusionos.
