Free Music Notes for Rt @ Ro 08
Free Music Review: Love the music, but...
Hit: 3 Stars
I am a long time Robin Trower fan, with his original "Live" album being a whim purchase on 8-track way back when. I saw Robin's tour last year at the Music Mill in Indy and he tore it up. The band was outstanding that night. The CD RT @ RO brought back memories of how good I thought the Indy show was. The song set on this CD is strong with an outstanding sound quality. However...
Like other reviewers I am appalled at the sound gaps between songs. It kills the listening experience, stops the great flow of the show, and, really makes this a hard listen. I was also shocked at what seemed to be a short version of "Too Rolling Stoned" on CD 2. Did Detroit really get this version, or, is this an edit job to leave space for the video content? Speaking of the video content, I was disappointed with the format and picture size. This is NOT the quality and sound we enjoy from "Living Out of Time - Live."
I would prefer a reissue of this as a 2-CD set with the entire show, no gaps...and a completely seperate DVD of the concert to enjoy. In the meantime, to negate the gaps issue, play this CD on "random play" as it won't detract from the experience (someone beat you to that) and the gaps will seem natural!

Free Music Review: I Got Gapped!!
Hit: 3 Stars
I purchased this CD at the Royal Oak Music Theater, after Robin's show there on 6/20/09 - outrageous, fantastic concert.
Imagine my disappointment when I was playing this CD after the show and all those gaps showed up. I like Robin enough to purchase another copy, however, I don't want to buy more gaps.
Anyone know if the "import" listed above is gap-free?
Free Music Review: Great performances. Inferior product.
Hit: 1 Stars
The setlist is well-chosen, the recorded sound is good, the performances are otherworldly-great. The two-second gaps interrupt the flow; in some cases there's even a sustained note that is interrupted by the gap, making for a jarring experience where the segue would have been quite nice. Someone could copy the files and de-gap with on their own computer with various (easy) software programs, but this just means the label is putting out a product that can be bettered by third-rate bootleggers. It's a shame. It's very hard to listen to this concert.
There is a U.K. edition with no gaps on the first disc, but they remain on the second. It's unconscionable that this sells for full price and without warning.
Response to complaints (to Robin's webmaster) was only partly good: they replaced disc 1 for me. Disc 2 has gaps in all editions. And the customer service person was very justifying this product (as in saying "Gaps were intentional; most people's enjoyment is not lessened by the gaps, in fact most people don't notice...". This is ridiculous, a cover-up for a blatant error). And when they (webmaster) offered to replace with the U.K. version, they neglected to mention that it's only the first disc that's without gaps. So half of my product was replaced. Good music, but I won't be listening much.
