Robin Trower’s Live Album Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Expanded Reissue

Robin Trower is commemorating his solo career with the release of a 50th-anniversary reissue of his acclaimed 1976 live album, Live!, via Chrysalis Records. Set to be released on April 3, 2026, this expanded edition has been newly remixed and restored from the original multi-track tapes, offering fans the full concert for the first time in this Deluxe Extended Edition. It is available for order in the U.S. and U.K. on 2-CDs or 2-LPs.

Originally released in 1976, Live! was recorded at the Stockholm Concert Hall on February 3, 1975, featuring the Robin Trower Band – Robin Trower, James Dewar (bass/vocals), and Bill Lordan (drums). Due to the constraints of vinyl at that time, only seven tracks from the performance made it onto the original LP.

Reflecting on that iconic night in 1975, Trower shared, “That night in ’75… we were just flying.” Trower’s musical journey began with ’60s bands The Paramounts and Procol Harum before he made a name for himself as a soulful and expressive guitarist in his solo career. Following his departure from Procol Harum, Trower released the album Twice Removed From Yesterday in 1973, setting the stage for his future success.

A year later, Trower reached new heights with Bridge of Sighs, an album that solidified his reputation as a guitar virtuoso and achieved international acclaim, peaking at #7 on the Billboard chart. The Robin Trower Band went on to earn four consecutive gold albums during the following years.

The 50th anniversary edition of Live! features five previously unreleased tracks from the 1975 Stockholm performance, presenting the complete setlist as originally performed. The recording captures the mesmerizing chemistry between Trower, James, and Lordan, establishing them as one of the greatest live bands of their time. The setlist includes electrifying live renditions of songs like “Too Rolling Stoned,” “Bridge of Sighs,” “Day of the Eagle,” “Rock Me Baby,” and more.

This new edition of Live! includes the complete 1975 Stockholm performance, featuring both a new 2026 remix by Richard Whittaker, approved by Trower, and the original 1975 mix. The set comes with a booklet containing new liner notes, interviews with Trower and Lordan, and previously unseen photos from that era.

The tracklist for Robin Trower Live!
