These photos are from the 1975 Stockholm concert became the Robin Trower Live album. Hans: "...what became the live album wasnīt intended to be one from the start. When Trower heard the tape he was very pleased with the sound and the spark the concert had, so pleased that it was decided that Robin Trower should record a live album in Stocholms Konserthus. I got hold of a ticket to what was gonna be a non admission concert but I just never happened and so it was decided that the radiobroadcast would be the Live album."

Hans: "I think the album is great but the actual song order is changed and the concert cut short by two songs, Bridge Of Sighs and Day Of the Eagle don't appear on neither the vinyl nor the cd, it was a little dissapointing that the songs mentioned didn't appear on the BGO cd release but what can you do. The prints... are from from colourslides I took, I also took black & white photos."

Question:
Gary Larson: What type of film did you use and how did you develop and process the film?

Answer:
Hans Ivarsson: "...I used a special developer for the b/w films. From what I know you can use the T-Max ? film and developer and even underexpose and overdevelope it much more, think 25000 ASA was the limit. I haven't used the T-Max film and that's why I'm a little uncertain if the name is T-Max. It's said to have finer grain then the Tri-X but as I said I haven't used it myself. There's also some colour slide films on the market that are supposed to be very good. I quit using the colour film at the end of the 70's because I had to use so much equipment to be able to "shoot" both that and b/w. The b/w I developed myself and I also made the prints, that gave me more control over the final result so to speak and to a much lower cost. Today I'm glad I did use colour film because of the possibilities the pc gives with the photoprogrammes but who could've forseen all that 20 to 25 years ago. Here are some data about the photos. The b/w photos are taken with Tri-X film stressed to 3200 ASA, the colour photos are taken with Ektachrome HS film stressed to either 800 or 1200 ASA, I can't really remember. The when and where you got on the concert ticket scan, except the photo of Bill Lordan, that's "shot" friday the 4:th of June 1976. I've used Mamiya Spotmatic cameras, 200 and 135 mm tele lenses. Hope you find the data useful."

Special thanks to Hans Ivarsson for sharing his photos and story.
