(268 posts)I think most music fans, especially those over 40, should know who he is.

(31,113 posts)I bet only people like you and me and a few hard core rockers do.
They know who DP is of course but Tommy was only with them a short while.
I saw him weeks before he died and he was amazing.
But I hope you are right, I take advantage of telling folks about him whenever I can. Around same time I saw this concert
I guess Tommy was 1976, what i remember about Robin was i couldnt hear for 3 days. Other than he was amazing too.

(31,113 posts)as much as I liked the Who/Dead concert or the two Led Zeppelin concerts (noted by the fight the manager had with Graham's people) or Bowie or Elvis or The Stones, Queen is the best live rocknroll I have ever heard or seen, though Pink Floyd "Animals" and Roger Waters last summer were good too.
I love rocknroll.
But nobody ever performed like those 4 guys. Freddie, oh Freddie.
edit
WRONG not just once, what is wrong with me, I saw Robin about 15 yrs ago in a smaller venue. Not important where. He still had it.

Ronnie Montrose's was still the best, though.

(31,113 posts)I see Montrose on that song but not Robin
blm
(113,081 posts)I heard him do it at SIR in NY in the early 80s. A band I was working with had one of the other rehearsal studios that week.
You should listen to the Montrose version. I think Trower may have been playing it for the fun because he appreciated Montrose's work.

(31,113 posts)I hate that I did NOT spend my life in music, I know it is where I was supposed to be.

(31,113 posts)dont know who Robin is either.
I am a drummer, when this came out I wanted to play it, was HARD
AS to studio work this might be the best sampling of what Tommy could do, his solo work was very good but oddly enough not heavy on the lead work.

(31,113 posts)In my case it was the 2 am visits from the sheriffs when I would rehearse after I got home after my liquor store gig.
My neighbors did NOT appreciate it.
