I'd really like to hear something from him nowadays. Something current. Just to see where his music went.
"Bridge of Sighs" was Billboard's Album of the year in 1974. Fucking thing sat on my turntable for weeks at a time. Absolutely one of the best studio productions of all time. Personally "Too Rolling Stoned" is my favorite cut.

Not sure why you would suggest more of the same?
Anyway - my view is that music is a fine art, and performing it requires finesse, imagination and co-operation beyond the two examples you gave.

I love the Symphony, but this is about one particular musician.
I have to hold musicians in a higher regard, being that I Don't Know How to play.
Tell me ? Can You play?

I've played clarinet semi-professionally all my life - well, since I was 8. That's probably my downfall - I never really 'got' the music my friends seemed to like. Same with your 'one particular musician', I'm afraid...

Yep even me, imagine that?
Good night Canuk, my hats off to you .
Be Well.
I'm done. Longggg work days. And I'm tired.
see ya soon.
Sounds like too much feedback coming from his amp? What a racket!
We've regressed a long way if that is what's now considered music.
I'm sorry, WHAT??!!!
Have you HEARD Godsmack? Staind? Linkin Park? It's all crap, crap and nonsense. Show me a guitarist that can plug a Stratocaster into an amplifier and make the hairs stand up on my forearms and I'll show you a deity. Overamplification, effects boxes, computerized signal processors, GAH!! Give up all of that macho sh*t and learn how to play guitar!
Ah, the good old days ... Robin Trower and the music that I grew up with. Wonderful music and memories.
lafin gas, my sentiments are the same for Steely Dan. Thanks too for the Stanley Jordan tune @ 28 (and the way he plays his guitar). He's similar to Obama in that regard .... he's got the talent and ability to present an old classic like Over The Rainbow in an exciting new way.
Check out Robin and Jack Bruce on "7 Moons", releaded earlier this year-great lyrics, great bass, Jack's vocals. I especially dug "Just Another Day" and "Come to Me" as well as the title track.
(Funny thing is most audiences and critics didn't know what the hell the last group was doing. They were mostly famous for clear clubs in fifteen minutes or less.)
Huge Trower fan ever since seeing him at Madison Square Garden in '76. But it's just not the same without JAMES DEWAR on bass and vocals. Dewar was incredible.
And to the guy who hates "feedback" and prefers the symphony, why even bother saying anything? You just don't UNDERSTAND electric blues, obviously, and you sound old and cranky as McCain.
Excuse me Guys & Gals ... but "the singer" is Davey Pattison from Ronnie Montrose's GAMMA band and he's one of the best singers I've ever seen live. IMHO he's FAR better than James Dewar and I've seen them both on numerous occasions. If you're into guitar rock GAMMA and GAMMA 2 are must haves for your collection.

It is always wonderful to read the comments on the music. So many people who love good rock music. Bridge of Sighs is my favorite. I was a photographer for my college newspaper (ISU-Terre Haute IN) and saw him play in 1975. I have great photos of that concert.

Back in the 70s... we were working hippies... On the weekend we liked to boogie around in my best friends old dodge van ( Probably was a 60 0r 61) and listen to Twice Removed From Yesterday . Group joke was that we pushed that van as far as we ever drove in it.
I once hitchhiked 120 miles from London to Toronto to see Trower back up Poco at Massey Hall.

Man, Trower's tone is so thick you couldn't suck it through a straw. It's great to know that guy can still throw down.
Bonamassa is a throw-back, in the best sense of the expression. He's the Amadeus of blues-rock guitar, a world-historic prodigy who grew into an authentic virtuoso.
There's a video floating around of him at age 16 playing in "Bloodline," throwing out lines that sounded like a hybrid of Gary Moore and Robin Ford. He's 30 now, and he's only gotten better and deeper since then.

Some one correct me if I'm wrong here. But his guitar is upside down.

Vai is very much the showman and a great guitaris all 'round. But so much of what he does just screams "penis penis penis!!" when I hear him play.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Little Wing
Only one man could have out-Hendrixed Hendrix.
Since the song was written as a tribute to Jimi's mom, who died when he was little, it's a pretty appropriate tribute to Jimi himself actually.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_eq01gB4Es&feature=related
("Life's One Act Play"), Savoy Brown, with Trower on lead guitar. Circa 1970.
For me, this song epitomizes the 70's-80's rock song format, with rock/blues solo 2/3's in. Trower's guitar is a spot-on piece of brilliance.
Sorry I could only find the song in 2 parts, Trower's solo is about a minute into part 2.
Thanks, mountainman, for that tune.
