I feel ashamed to have totally missed this boxed set from one of my absolute favorite guitar players - Robin Trower!
It feaatures a full live set (that sounds great) from 1975, the same tour as the ”Live” album that was recorded Swedish Radio which only has a few tracks from the set they played.
This ”CD4” has the entire set! I’m sure you can fint thissomewhere else, in case you don’t use Spotity

I don't have Spotify, but I have walked across The Bridge Of Sighs in Venice.

Robin might have mentioned your influence when he had a chat with Rick Beato

In 2021 my wife and I stayed in Venice, and also walked acrossed the Bridge of Sighs. I had my iphone blaring the tune in my earbuds while we walked acrossed it. Neat place to visit.

I think Anika will do a great job… I wonder if DW drums or TAMA will make some special kit for the tour dates like DW did for Neil.

And an interview

I agree, it was a great choice ! That would be cool to get a special kit from somebody, we’ll have to keep an eye out for developments.

Indeed. Although all the dates are in the US, so I doubt I will be going to one of them. Perhaps some might get added this side of the pond, or 50th DVD/Bluray or similar become available.

Okay, totally arbitrary question about an old progressive rock album that has nothing to do with the music...but I'm hoping maybe some prog freaks here have some insight into the (presumed) drama surrounding this question:

Did Kim Poor -- who is credited with the artwork on Steve Hackett's Defector album -- ever acknowledge that the image on the back cover of that album was stolen copied directly from a Chris Von Wangenheim photo of Raquel Welch that appeared in the December 1979 issue of Playboy magazine?

 

[stratamania]

No idea, but that looks like a painting to me.

 

[VanHeGen]

No idea here, either, but I suddenly became interested in the December 1979 issue of Playboy magazine!

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean literally "stolen" I just meant copied. Verbatim.
I updated my earlier post.

Speaking of one piece of art inspired by another.

Not verbatim, but let's seek the sacred River Alph.
