Robin Trower's concert 3-3-1999 The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, California
The guest band opening for Robin (high point of their career) was Sinster Grin, a metal band with a female singer, their act started a little after 8PM. Noisy Metallica/Rush type bar band, not blues based like Trower and no competition at all.
Robin Trower took to the stage at 9:30PM. Robin was wearing a grey pinstriped suit with a metallic grey shirt. Robin took off the jacket after the second song. Livingstone Brown was wearing black leather Shirt, pants, and jacket.
The band featured:
| Robin Trower | Guitar/Vocals |
| Livingstone Brown | Bass/Vocals |
| Alvino Bennett | Drums |

The songs Promise You The Stars and Next In Line were replaced this year by No Time and the new song Blue for Soul.
Robin Trower looks kind of old and frail when he comes on stage, but he plays guitar as good now as he ever has in the past. His new song Blue for Soul sounds like a return to the Bridge of Sighs / 20th Century Blues style of blues/rock that fans love. It was great to hear No Time live with Livingstone's vocals and Robin's more agressive playing than the polished produced studio version.
My doctor was there to see Robin Trower for the first time since 1976. After the show he said "He's seems... so... old... but he plays with so much... soul, the notes..., he makes me want to play guitar again."
The new Cd Robin Trower This Was Now '74~'98 2nd Cd is very close to the 1999 tour performance. If you want to the songs again, or compare between 1974 and 1998 Trower concerts this Cd is essential.
For sale in the lobby was the new Cd Robin Trower This Was Now '74~'98 and Someday Blues along with several different T-shirts, sweatshirts, and posters.

In an interview by The Slant Robin discussed his amp setup: "Want to know my setup? I use a thing for the chorus, kind of effect, a thing called a Deja Vibe, and a Vox wah wah, and I'm going into....one Marshall JCM 800...and that's running a 4x12 cab, and I'm going into a (Fender) Hot Rod Deville which is running another 4x12 cab, which is being slaved into another Hot Rod Deville which is running a 4x12 cab".
