The Paramounts, 17 December 2005, Southend

We start at the end ... Little Mick, Gary, Robin and Chris at the curtain call

Trower and Copping

Robin Trower with small combos on stage ... a more comfortable volume than his own band works at

Trower looked happy even when he wasn't smiling

Gary at the piano ... not his own (which had lost a few keys in rehearsal) but Dave Bronze's P150

In the background, the famous Shades mural, as it was in the early 60s behind these four men

Mick Brownlee, drums

Gary listening with great pleasure to Rob ... not playing at all, himself
