Robin Trower’s 1974-75 performances on The Old Grey Whistle Test — Video

Robin Trower and his band stopped by the BBC studios in 1974 and 1975 to perform on the classic TV show, The Old Grey Whistle Test. On each appearance they gave us two classic tracks which can be viewed in the videos below.

In the first two, see “Little Bit of Sympathy” and “Bridge of Sighs”  from the ’74 show,  featuring vocals from James Dewar and Reg Isidore on drums. The ’75 appearance can be seen in the bottom two clips and also feature Dewar but with Bill Lordan taking over on drums, for renditions of “Alethea” and “Fine Day”.
