As great as Robin's 1976 "Live" album is, it has always bugged me big time that it comes w/out BRIDGE OF SIGHS, and even worse, no upgraded CD re-issue has remedied that so far - though it would be easy to put the entire show on one CD (yes, there are outtakes in circulation, albeit in crappy quality).Also, the album could stand a bit of remastering, IMHO, it sounds a wee bit dull (or am I wrong?). The BBC IN CONCERT CD in turn which was also recorded along the early 1975 FOR EARTH BELOW tour, doesn't contain his other monster BRIDGE OF SIGHS classic, TOO ROLLING STONED. Sigh...

Therefore, I'd like to share with you this ex sounding show here that not only runs much longer than his then usual c. one hour sets but also features Robin's entire tour repertoire, even with the rarely played then new numbers FINE DAY and CONFESSION MIDNIGHT. This show has of course made its rounds but this here is a known 2nd gen. copy! Hence it should be an upgrade to most collections. I'd say as long as there is no enhanced version of the "Live" album out, it can't get much better than this show here when it comes to 1975 Trower, right?

BTW, though FOR EARTH BELOW may not be as musically outstanding as its predecessor, it fared almost as well, and even made it to the US top 5 (released: February 1975, chart peak: #5, weeks charted: 17, certified gold: 10/29/76; compare with BRIDGE OF SIGHS: released: March 1974, chart peak: #7, weeks charted: 31, certified gold: 9/10/74).

Enjoy - and share!
