| I saw Robin Trower a few times back in the 1970's and they were great shows. I also have the first couple of vinyl albums in my collection.A few years ago, Robin played at The Coal Exchange in Cardiff and again it was a very enjoyable show. A friend of mine plays guitar in a local band and they were asked to support Robin at this show and did a very good opening spot. Just prior to the show Dave met Robin and held his hand out to shake hands but Mr. Trower declined (it appears that he declines handshakes!,) It may be that this was just a one-off, but interesting..... |

Those are million dollar hands....I can understand. Some blokes like to almost break your hand with a handshake.
"The Bridge of Sighs" LP I'm beating is one of your treasures! So great!
How lucky for you to have seen him! I would love to see a tour with Robin and Jack Bruce...legends! Their Seven Moons album is a favorite. Bruce's signature voice still gives me chills...brilliant.
Seven Moons live...if you can, get the Seven Moons Live dvd

The joy on their faces while jamming is priceless.

You goin'? I wouldn't miss him!!
Give us a review if you see him. Who does he tour with now-special guests?...or is he playing solo, on piano etc. Bruce could certainly do it by himself, playing a different instrument on each song.
