Robin Trower - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 8-6-1973

Here's another one of the many Ebbets Field radio broadcasts. This one stars lead guitarist Robin Trower.

Here's the Wikipedia entry intro about him:

"[Trower] is an English rock guitarist and producer who achieved success with Procol Harum from 1967 until 1971 and as the bandleader of his own power trio known as the Robin Trower Band. Although Procol Harum was primarily known as a progressive rock band, Trower himself is known for his blues-infused guitar playing, which critics have frequently compared to that of Jimi Hendrix, whom he has cited as an influence. As a solo artist, Trower released four consecutive gold-certified albums from 1974 to 1977 that charted well in the U.S. and Canada, but in the 1980s his career faltered. He briefly returned to Procol Harum for their 1991 reunion album, The Prodigal Stranger, but left again to resume his solo career. His most recent solo album, Come and Find Me, was released in 2025."

Robin Trower - Wikipedia

This concert took place about six months after the release of Tower's debut album, "Twice Removed from Yesterday." At the time, it didn't do that well. It just missed making the Top 100 album chart. But his next album, "Bridge of Sighs," would do much better, making the Top Ten.

A key member of Trower's band at this time was James Dewar. He not only was the bass player, he was the lead vocalist. He essentially was the "voice" for Trower until they parted ways in 1983. Trower and Dewar co-wrote most of the songs on the debut album. On later albums, Trower would dominate the songwriting a lot more.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 48 minutes long.

All I know about the cover is it was taken in March 1973. The original was in black and white, but I colorized it with the use of the Kolorize program.
