2025 U.S. tour: The Music Box at The Borgata in Atlantic City and The Tupelo Music
Hall in Derry, New Hampshire. Engineered by James Kane, the album features the
best takes from each night, chosen for both performance quality and sonic clarity.

The album spans six decades of Trower’s career, blending classics with newer
material:

Four tracks from “Bridge of Sighs” (1974): ‘Too Rolling Stoned’, ‘Day of the Eagle’,

‘Little Bit of Sympathy’, and the haunting title track.

Early gems like ‘Daydream’ (“Twice Removed From Yesterday”, 1973) and
‘Somebody Calling’ (“In City Dreams”, 1977).

Later highlights include ‘Rise Up Like The Sun’ (”20th Century Blues”, 1994) and
‘Distant Places Of The Heart’ (”Seven Moons”, 2007), his collaboration with Jack
Bruce.

Recent material from “No More Worlds To Conquer” (2022) and “Come And Find
Me” (2025) shows Trower’s evolving artistry.

Trower is joined by Richard Watts (bass/vocals) and Chris Taggart (drums), forming

a tight, expressive trio. Watts’ vocals bring fresh nuance to familiar tracks, while
Taggart’s drumming anchors the set with precision and drive. Trower’s guitar tone
remains unmistakable—rich, fluid, and emotionally resonant, with solos that feel

both spontaneous and sculpted.

The album isn’t just a live document—it’s an immersive experience, with Trower
personally selecting each track to reflect his best performances. It’s a testament to

his enduring commitment to quality and his deep connection to American audiences,
dating back to his first U.S. tour with Procol Harum in the late ’60s.

For blues-rock broadcasters and fans, “One Moment In Time” offers a compelling

mix of nostalgia and vitality. It’s ideal for programming that bridges eras,
showcasing how a veteran artist can still surprise and inspire.
