If Jimi was alive he wouldn't be playing his solos with the same old 70's tone these days, he was so far ahead of his time.

[cedarchoper58]

I think your wrong the gear now days is junk compaired to the old handwired cranked tube amps

[ratatatmat]

Im so jealous of the person who took this footage...that's as close as it gets. It's a long way to Australia :(

[cedarchoper58]

it was great buy my ears were fried

[cedarchoper58]

I also have seen him many times since the early 70's and he is as good now as then great

[paigerockson]

Some you people are ignorant. He was playing when your parents were in school. He looks great, sounds great and play's flawless. The audio is bad because his show is always LOUD. Go see him and you will never post anything stupid like this again. That is what amps sound like when you have a shitty mic in front of it.

[cedarchoper58]

Thanks I agree the audio sucks cause I was dirrectly in front of his amp at head level and he looks old but he plays young and great still. I have seen him many times since the early 70's and he still wails like a god

Robin Trower is flat-out one of the all-time greatest guitarists EVER. His bluesy, sad, crying feel is totally unique. I was always confused by people saying he sounds like Hendrix. I hear the influence, but Trower has a voice all his own on guitar.

...and I'm a drummer!

LONG LIVE ROBIN TROWER

[joskam092]

He uses a Deja vibe 2 to get that sound. Not a flanger, and not a univibe, trower quit using univibe in the seventies. It's nit distortion either, it's overdrive that he uses. They are a bit different.

Robin Trower is a great guitarist and I love the guy but make no mistake he sound exactly like Jimi did in his band of gypsies days....that thick lava lamp tone that gets you high when you listen... he added many of his emotions etc.. but its Hendrix that sparked all of that.

@cedarchoper58  The cars lasted longer, the radios lasted longer, the records sounded better than the cds, the speakers lasted longer, also sounded better, even better if they were made of wood, wood gives everything a beautiful sound.

[metaltwister66]

In the last 8 years I have seen Trower twice,both times he was smoking.

[mor54]

I've seen him twice in a small DC club around the time Passion came out and all I have to say is he delivered. He appreciated the crowd and let everyone know it with his and the bands playing. Tight. Great singer whose name escapes me too. I wish I could see him with Jack.

[Distilled13]

@pabletelli very true it may be .. I get that sound from a flanger and my Cry baby though a little more work maybe ;)

[jazo54]

Shame, too much wah for these days

[pabletelli]

@Distilled13 i think that is an univibe not a flanger

[Distilled13]

Flange and distortion a little wha can do it and lots of raw feeling and Emotion!

[TheGreatLouMass]

Does anybody know what effect he is using? DAMN......I have to tell you guys....There are so many effects out there that duplicate the Hendrix Sound that you don't even have to do it in his sound. Trower has the feel. That deep soulful feel. There is another guitar player with the same kind of feel. How about Richie Blackmore? Right? Correct me if I am wrong. Isn't this the same effect Hendrix had in Voodoo Chile when he played with Bill Cox and Buddy Miles?  ????

[Fr3dScuttle]

Robin said he was influenced by Jimi. He said that in an interview.

But, i do like Robin's playing.

[unclesamfatg]

First of all, is "Jimi". Second, yes he is old, but Jimi would be 3 years older now, big dave. Then, this guy was playing THIS stuff after 74'. And Jimi Hendrix was really notorious in England after october 66', yes, yes, people heard about him before Monterey. So search for facts not fiction before you post your comments.

@bigdaveaztempe

Trower didn't change his playing style until he was greatly influenced by Hendrix and left Procol Harem. Procol Harem does not a Hendrix make. The reason Trower is Trower is because Hendrix was Hendrix (first). Trower has said it himself many times. I too have copied the Hendrix style. I Love it but I certainly didn't come up with it anymore than Trower did.

[axeman7000]

I still have his records...Hmmm

[taariqtaariq]

robin trower is still a beast on the strat!

[Noseheros]

I saw him in '09, about 3 weeks ago, still kickin ass!!!

[jesapizza]

Yes he could--and did.

From 1967-70--these two stood damn near stood alone-together--playing this experimental bombast tone laden style .

Then Jimi laid down--Robin still standing--tall.

[Cruusher]

The person a few posts back ,said it right. He was the most underrated player that existed. I have seen him live several times. Twice at the RoseLand Theater. We know he is aging, we all do but if you like Rock, even these 3rd generation kids need to at least do some research on the Great R.T.

[bigdaveaztempe]

Robin Trower taught Jimmy H everything, look how old he is, Nobody even heard of Jimmy till montery 67. This guy was playing this stuff in 64 , The beatles huh? remember what ws pop then. A Legend, but never sold records, he was too far ahead of his time. But listen and enjoy.

[TheFlatheadpete]

Turn the volume down and you can still hear it. This dude has feeling and soul. One of the most underated musicians of all time. Do it...turn the volume down and watch the video.
