Robin Trower - Live! (1976)

Another guitarist I first heard on John Peel's show. The album being featured was 1976's 'Long Misty Days', and the thick, thundering Hendrixian tone of Trower's Strat thrilled me no end.

This live album demonstrates the kind of energy the guitarist was capable of generating when he was truly in his element. For a guy who doesn't sing — bassist James Dewar handles singing chores here — Trower sure knows how to make a lasting impression.
