kschilk 0 #2 February 14, 2008 Yeah, I'd love to see him LIVE! I was just lookin' at some old Procol Harum pics too! He's the main reason, that I have a Strat...he got me hooked on that sound. I'd heard he was jammin' with Jeff Beck, at a Frank Marino (Mahogany Rush) tribute, not too long ago! That hadda' be great! "T'was ever thus." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpoutnow 0 #3 February 14, 2008 The last time I saw him, he looked like this.People are crazy. Cuz there's more of 'em. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #4 February 14, 2008 He was always "aesthectically challenged," but he is really showing his age. He is playing in Greenville, SC the night before the Van Halen concert in Raleigh, which I already have tickets for. I don't thin I will try and make them both - I will catch him next time he comes around.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gene03 0 #11 February 14, 2008 Did he perform "Bridge of Sighs"? One of my favorites.“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

freethefly 6 #13 February 14, 2008 Oh hell, now I have to dig through the vinyl. Saw him way back in the 70's.

Good Times!!!! hahahaha... it was mescaline we took at at the Trower concert at Keil auditorium in St.Louis December of 76. Trooper opened the show. Man, I can still feel the wave that rushed over me when he played Bridge of Sighs. I hope he comes this way.

warpedskydiver 0 #24 February 15, 2008 have seen Robin play the chicago amphiteater in his hey day, and also seen him play a crowd of 50 people at the Blue Moon Lounge. You may ask yourself what kind of dive was the Blue Moon? It was a good restaurant, excellent sunday buffet brunch, actually one of the best there ever was. It was also the place where Ted Nugent started playing with the Amboy Dukes. That place had so many of todays rock and roll hall of fame play there it should have been made a historic landmark it was sold and became a nursing home, and later was torn down to make an emergent care facility for sherman hospital. There are not too many places left that were like it. You could go see the best bands in the business for $5.00 entry, no drink minimum. Contrast that to today, and the $500.00 ticket prices that are common. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycop 0 #25 February 15, 2008 He's coming here in April and I'm going to be out of town. I saw him in the same club 20yrs ago, it was a great venue. He looked old then, but man did he ROCK!
