  1. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Everyone sounded really good last night. Norfolk VA has always been on fire for Robin so, (you all) keep that in mind if you tour again. I think this band line up has been one of the best. All very fluid and tight. Thanks for the last week of shows good vacation for me to see you fellas play. Mary

  2. Thanks Trower band for making it back to Norfolk after nearly 20 years. It was a fantastic show with alot of people that were unfamiliar with Robin and the band completely blown away. You could hear the positive remarks and phrases all around. The local warm-up band The Famous Clever were great also and a bit of a change of style than usual hard-rock acts. They put you in a mellow mindset which kept most of the alcoholics in a good mood. If Robin ever comes back to the States with a lot shorter list of venues to perform at, then please make Norfolk a stop since Robin has many loyal and hardcore fans here in the area. You've made me very happy to catch the last five shows since Penn's Peak. Take care and God Bless you all.

  3. You guys were fantastic! I came down from Pittsburgh to see the show and it was well worth the drive! It was really nice to meet you after the show and I appreciate that you signed our tickets.

    Luckily, I was able to capture the show on video and it can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/bluewildangel2011

    Laurie Brace was kind enough to allow us the very privileged opportunity to meet Robin Trower after the show. Thank you and I hope you guys come back to the U.S. next year!!!
