I love Trower's work and still put him in the rotation a few times a year. Bridge of Sighs is a classic with the title track, Day of the Eagle, and Too Rolling Stoned.
Another Robin Trower band ...
Gary Brooker :bowdown:
Thank you for posting that version. It was new to me - and got me to the end of my work day. Nothing like a great 16-minute song to pass the time.Hey okay -- I put this in the Rest In Peace Ginger Baker Thread.
Blind Faith - Do What You Like (entire version)
"Do What You Like" penned by Mr. Baker himself and Elvin Jones ...
Although Steve Winwood's keyboards play a big role, and Eric's guitar and Rick's bass solo are good too. It is Ginger's extended drum solo which is awesome, and that snare drum is outstanding which then starts the keyboards up again in that riff.
My cousin told me that it was Stevie doing the Edward G. Robinson imitation. The Peter Lorre' imitation well that was Ginger.
Mason did work on the original All Along the Watchtower. And here you go:Well this Hendrix Electric Ladyland version ....can't be played from youtube. Unless you confirm your age. Hehe. ; )

It was rumored that Steve Winwood's pal, Jim Capaldi played on drums also on "Crosstown Traffic." Two drum kits were brought in. One for Mitch and the other for Jim. Then they also said that Chris Wood also joined in. So there you have it. 3/4 of Traffic playing on "Crosstown Traffic" without Dave Mason of course. Wikipedia has said that Noel Redding, and Dave Mason also added background vocals to the unfinished tracks. So in effect you had all four members of Traffic playing on that song at some point. That's a fun fact.
I have this album version. Although it is the Polydor label not the more valuable Reprise. Oh well.
Speaking of Dave Mason. Here you go ...
This is a band that I played in back in 1991.
The band consisted of Chris Booth on vocals and guitar (15 years old) - Mike Lyman on drums (14 years old) and me (Ray Edwards) on Bass at 21 years old. It's not the best quality, but hey ...we did the best that we could at the time.
