ROBIN TROWER – Live! [50th Anniversary Edition] (2026) *HQ*

320_1 /// 320_2 /// HQ 1 /// HQ 2

By February 1975, ROBIN TROWER and his band – Robin on guitar, James Dewar on bass and vocals and Bill Lordan on drums – were sat right at the top their game. The seminal 1974 Bridge of Sighs album had triggered the band’s breakthrough into the big time on both sides of the Atlantic and the 1975 follow-up, For Earth Below, was set to repeat that success. What’s more, the band were poised to set off on a sellout European tour.
Now 2026, Robin Trower celebrates the 50th Anniversary of a landmark moment — the release of Live! on April 3, via Chrysalis Records. Originally issued in 1976, this powerful set recorded at the Stockholm Concert Hall on February 3, 1975, captured the Robin Trower Band at full throttle with Trower at the peak of his solo powers.
Due to the limitations of vinyl at the time, only seven tracks from the show made it onto the original LP. This new “Live! [50th Anniversary Edition]” finally makes available the full concert for the very first time – newly remixed and restored from the original multi-track tapes for this definitive Deluxe Extended Edition.

The 50th Anniversary Edition of Live! includes 5 previously unreleased tracks from the 1975 Stockholm performance, offering the complete setlist as it was originally performed for the very first time.
The recording showcases the electrifying chemistry between Robin Trower, James and Bill Lordan — widely regarded as one of the finest live bands of the era. The blistering set includes searing live versions of fan favorites like ‘Too Rolling Stoned’, ‘Bridge of Sighs’, ‘Day of the Eagle’, ‘Rock Me Baby’, ‘Lady Love’, ‘Alethea’ and many more, now sounding better than ever.

“Trower took the trio format as popularized by Hendrix and Cream and softened the edges a bit by bringing a more lyrical, albeit radio friendly appeal to the music,” offered music journalist and author Steven Rosen. “The music was melodic hard rock driven by his gloriously fluid Strat playing over an abundance of some of the coolest guitar tunes ever written.

“They say you can really judge the merit of a guitarist by his finger vibrato. When you think of the apex players—Eric Clapton, Paul Kossoff, David Gilmour—they are instantly recognizable in their playing by simply pushing a string up and down.
However, it is an insanely difficult technique to develop and very few instrumentalists ever cultivate a decent much less an iconic style. But Trower has managed to do just that, producing a sound that falls somewhere between Clapton’s fluid legato and Kossoff’s more staccato-like pulls. A true master.”

Available on 2CDs or 2LPs, the new edition includes the complete 1975 Stockholm performance, featuring both the new 2026 remix and the original 1975 mix – expertly remixed by Richard Whittaker and fully approved by Robin Trower.
Five decades on, Robin Trower Live! still burns with the same intensity and soul that made him one of the defining guitarists of his era – and this expanded edition gives us the clearest window yet into that magical night in Sweden.
