- The legendary Pat Travers Band featuring, Tommy Aldridge, Pat Thrall and Mars Cowling. Old Grey Whistle Test, Hammersmith Odeon 1980. Never seen before online. This is from the last tour of this version of the band.
I was using a Systech Overdrive, Echoplex, Lexicon Prime Time and an AD/A Flanger. Travers was not using a Lexicon or a PCM 41 in 1980
Are you Pat Thrall?
Well thats his gear according to guitar world nov 18@jeffholt9437
Thank you so much for posting this gem of a video. Believe me when I say I will be watching this repeatedly on days to come. This is indeed gold to me🤘😎🤙
Hope all is well with you! Thanks for your awesome work with Travers.... listening to "Go for What You Know" keeps youth alive in my soul !!!
@@texanscott3217
100% agreed 🤘😎🤙
Pat Thrall, you're one of the best!
I don't care what anyone says, ROCK is the greatest genre of music ever!!!!
Go For What You Know is one of the best live albums ever. Flawless.
Pound 4 pound, there's not a better hard rock drummer on this planet. Much respect for Tommy Aldridge....
My idol🤘🤘🤘🔥❤️
Best line up with pat thrall,Mars cowling, Tommy Aldridge , they rocked hard
That’s not Jerry Riggs, that’s me, Pat Thrall.
Man, you are definitely one the most underrated rock guitarists i know of. Ive loved your work on Heat In The Street and Go For What You Know since I was 16.
I’ve checked this video out about 15-20 times the past few days, where has this been hiding?!! This could not be any more rock n roll right here…👏🔥💯🎯
I had the video in the closet for years. A friend had it ripped for me. I cleaned up the audio, added credits and posted it. Statesboro Blues and Crash and Burn are coming soon. Check out "Born Under a Bad Sign". We did a pretty cool version. Even our slow tempo songs were intense.
@@zsnake2Cool!
Travers, Aldridge, Mars, Thrall... Insane lineup.
This is INCREDIBLE to actually SEE!!! One of the absolute BEST Bands of the late 70's and 1980. PAT THRALL!!!!!!!
I saw this lineup several times. It was his best in my opinion. One of the planets greatest rock drummers, a killer bassist and Mr Thrall was a great guitarist in his own right.
They also were very loud!!
I saw them with Rainbow and Krokus and it was the loudest concert of my life!!
*Sounds awesome!* 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I saw that tour also. Toledo Sports Arena!
Yes they were loud
BEST PAT TRAVERS LINEUP EVER
BEST PAT TRAVERS SONG EVER!!!!!
Yes! A reunion show. I was always hoping for one while Mars was still with us. I’ve seen Pat with Mars, Jerry Riggs and some fine drummers, but have always wanted to see him perform with Thrall, Aldridge, and Cowling. And what better place than the Whisky about a 5 minute drive from my house! Hell…I’d even host the after party!
Go For What You Know is an all time fave and I can't count the number of times I searched for live footage of this legendary lineup and came up empty...till this. Holy shit what a band. Thanks for posting!
Aldridge still one of the best live drummers ever-ever-ever
I was there! Brilliant show from a classic lineup. "Go For What You Know" is still one of my favourite live albums - pity it wasn't a double!!!
I most agree with you I wore that out on 8tracks go for what you know!
Good driving music
Seriously, you were there! That is awesome! I haven't found video of any of those late 70's concerts I was at every week during high school.
@@howardmishne4840 I have quite a few "scalps" from back in the day. Aside from the general audience stuff (Anthrax, Motorhead) that made its way onto video, I was also filmed on Iron Maiden's Beast on the Road film and was in music videos for Accept, Twisted Sister and Status Quo (usually keep quiet about the last one!) ☺
Best band of their generation
Indeed!👏
If your generation includes bands like ufo lizzy & Aerosmith you’re not the best
Awesome band. Wish that lineup lasted longer, but this captures a few moments in time from a great time in my life. As a drummer...Tommy has provided a lifetime of inspiration. So clean and powerfu. Those double bass shuffles on the live album lit a fire under me. Thanks for posting this !!!!
OMG... rare footage of one of the best bands ever assembled!!!!!!! I would pay $200 for that full concert video, wish it was available.
Mars, Tommy, Thrall and Travers... it was too good to last.
zsnake2, Thanks soooo much for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my favorite songs of all time !!! Man, they kicked ass !!!
I’m 59 now but in 1980 I was fifteen and this was my first concert. Pat Travers band with opener Def Leppard at the Memorial coliseum in Portland Oregon. Great show classic line up for both bands. Thanks for this video! Great memories.🎶
That HAD to be later .... I saw leppard open for Billy Squire in 83-84 , NO WAY they headlined in 80 !!! NO WAY
DL also opened on the “Blizzard of Oz” tour @1980.
@@timothykeenan3705
Thursday May 29th 1980. Def Leppard opener for Pat travers band. This was the last of nine shows On Def’s On through the night tour as opener for P.T.B. It was a great show I was at the foot of the stage all night. Great first concert for me. Sounds like you saw them on either late High-n-Dry or early Pyromania tour.
@@BrianBoru-td4qi
Yep,
And Judas
Priest as well. We paid 7.25 each for our tickets. Money well spent and time well wasted!
This PT lineup and their kickass party tunes formed the theme music to the soundtrack of my life in the late 70’s, especially the album “Crash and Burn”. I can’t count how many sets of tires I torched driving the twisties with that PT cassette blaring. That album and song title is still used as a term of endearment and toast when I get together with my old desert dirtbike racing buddies of similar age. I turn 65 this week. Seeing PT live when he, pat and Tommy and mars were all together was one of the best shows in memory and I literally saw them all over that period. I keep hoping there will be a renaissance of “real” 3 and 4 piece bands before they nail a lid on my box…
Travers and Thrall, one of the best dual guitar threats in rock. I've seen Pat Travers play in later years, but if I could warp back to this era, I'd be in the front row.
I saw this lineup many years ago Mars the bass player was badass also Tommy Aldridge on the drums great show
@@51502 Sweet! Yeah that whole lineup was stellar.
Thanks for posting this Pat ,it sure brought back some great memories
Pat had many great line ups through the years but this is my favorite! 🎸
Pat Thrall proves you can shred without sounding like Ed
There were many before Ed.
That was great to see and hear Pat Travers ., back in those days I really got into the Makin' Magic album , amazing and still like it.
The ULTIMATE PT LINEUP!!! PLEASE POST MORE FROM THIS GIG!!!!
Never got to see Pat Thrall play until just now; Talk about underrated.
Pat Thrall was in Automatic Man. Amazing stuff
Yep does that strat have a bridge humbucker ?? Maaaan!!!
Check out the “Hughes-Thrall band” 👍
@@danielevans9379 by that time his playing was on whole nutha level.. near shredding
@@SGED392
Yeah he’s one of those guitarists from that era that is so ridiculously underrated. John Sykes was like that until he got the Whitesnake gig.
これはお宝画像じゃあないですか! 僕はPat Thrallの大ファンです! I am 60 now and I bought the Hughes & Thrall record when I was in high school. I listened to it many many times... and I still listen to it :) I also have the remastered CD, too! Love the solo of this song. When I heard this song for the 1st time, the diminished phrase knocked me out ! You were way ahead of the time! A big fan from Japan.
I saw him at a small venue around 1979 and get goosebumps thinking of how hard he rocked the place. That guy kicked ass!
Tommy Aldridge!!
Pat Travers was one of the greatest balls out rock bands of that era, they just didn’t have the longevity so they have become somewhat forgotten.
Pat wasn’t a good enough songwriter to garner a widespread following. His guitar chops, while admirable, weren’t unique. It’s a pity.
Wow I never seen this before, One of my favorites 😊
Mars Cowling.Awesome bassist. He even holds the bass cool!
They warmed up for Foghat when I saw them back then. After Travers played, Foghat didn't need to come out. Travers and Aldridge, with his 20 minute drum solo using his hands, blew Foghat away. They stole the show at Notre Dame.
The reason PT’s songs live sound so much like the album is he has always recorded live in the studio with the whole band present..which included vocals and guitars ( at least back when he had a four piece band)..nowadays he tours with only three pieces..he still kicks ass at the age of 70…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I got to see these guys open up for AC/DC on the Highway to Hell Tour 1979. They were fantastic. Pat Thall's guitar playing still stands out in my memory. These guys rocked the house. They are one of the best opening bands I've ever see. Oh yeah, AC/DC was incredible! 3rd row seating, we got sweated on by Angus.
Bunch of us ditched school and went to hear this on my friend's huge new stereo. Hot knives and beers and he cranked this on L O U D so we were all dancing hysterically and eating ju-jubes which turned into a ju-jube fight that got more and more out of control as the song drove us wild until on the last note a ju-jube sailed across the room and hit the power off button and killed the music. The sudden silence was devastating hilarious insane unforgettable.
LOVE IT!!! Real live video, not a crappy overdub!
I saw the Pat Travers Band playing live at the Taylor County Coliseum in Abilene Texas in 1980. I took a bunch of photos of the show with my Nikon 35mm camera. I believe they were wearing the same or very similar stage wardrobe for that performance. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t get any better than this!😊
All star band, such great musicians.
Classic, Travers and Thrall rip!!!!
This is the best version of the Pat Travers band in my opinion. Just pure rock and roll energy.
One of the best two-guitar attacks in rock history. Too bad it was so brief. Where I really loved Thrall’s work though was with Bayete and Doni Harvey and Mike Shrieve. The first Automatic Man record, with its hard rock - funk fusion, is awesome.
Scorpions, Travers and Nugent in Edmonton Canada 1980 (I think). PT band was unfuckingbelievable. Blew everyone away. Changed my life for the better. Thanks Mr Thrall. ☮️
My first time seeing PT was this tour, blew me away
Doesn't fuckin' get any better than this. Pat and the guys tearing it up
Great tune. My favorite record of his: Putting it Straight. With one of the best rock-and-roll album covers EVER!
Man what a great Line-up this was. Travers and Thrall wailing away and the funky Mars Cowling on bass and of course my favorite Drummer of all the great Tommy Aldridge. Smoking band
Incredible! I have waited over 40+ years to see that! What a line-up!
One of my favorite live albums with this lineup
Saw these effers in ‘78 opening for Segar. They were amazing- Boom Boom!!!
Travers Band fanatic in '80; live Cotton Bowl show in Dallas (Aug.'79) w/Rush, Thorpe, Foghat, Point Blank, Heart (others). Went to see Tommy mostly. Years later, I met Travers in an East Tulsa bar, sitting w/a beer. Told him I was a huge fan and asked him what happened with the band and where Aldridge went. He got mad at me...wasn't nice. '91 saw him playing ass off in a Dallas bar...still had it! So does Thrall - both true rockers. Great live clip here - Thanks for posting!
Pat was probably pissed he could not keep that good of a band together. It was too good to be true!
That song rocks, and nobody plays it like him. He really should have had a bigger career, because he's got ALL the right stuff.
Godspeed Jack. always singing to our souls. we will truly miss you. thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤😂🙏❤🎉🎼
Love this footage so much Pat thank you for sharing it, its total gold dust! Your playing has been inspiring me since I was a teenager. If you have any other live footage of you from the Travers, Automatic Man, Hughes Thrall eras that you could dig out that would be fantastic as there's not a lot out there from the 70s or 80s.
Thanks so much for the kind words. The only other footage I have is "Crash and Burn" and "Statesboro Blues" The versions that have been on TH-cam are horrible quality. I'm getting ready to post the versions I have which are 100 times better and sound better. Unfortunately that is the only live footage of the Travers band when Tommy and I were playing with him, at least that I am aware of.
@@zsnake2 Thanks for taking the time to reply Pat, can't wait to see those other 2 upgraded clips. As for other footage there is this short clip of Hammerhead from Fresno 1980, starts about 6 mins in th-cam.com/video/9xefOwt5_40/w-d-xo.html
I used to blast "Go For What You Know" in my baracks at Lowry COLORADO AIR FORCE Base and my airmen buddies loved it. 1981. What a great year for emerging ROCK bands. PRIEST..DEF LEPPARD..MAIDEN...RUSH..SCORPIONS!!! Played them non stop.
Dude that was awesome.
❤. Saw them open for somebody a little before this, then again. Shocked by Tommy, of course. Another drumming great to study. BBC Live has the lineup and Crash And Burn stuff. A must hear for fans. Still just love that era, Heat In The Street lp, too.
Pat thrall hammering the tremelo! 🤘⚡️space ace Ron⚡️
Travers and Thrall awesomeness!!
great thanks Pat Thrall.
I seen this tour. I was in 7th grade.
The very day Tommy Aldridge became the drummer I always tried to play like. Lol they opened up for Foghat.. and BLEW the doors off Pulmer auditorium Davenport Iowa.
Mr. Cook; KOOL!!!!!! THE LOUDER; THE MFin' PROUDER!!!!!
I saw them, a few years later, in a bar, just outside Ft. Campbell Ky. They were awesome. Played a lot of ‘Crash and Burn’.
Pat fkg thrall!!!!✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
That rhythm section is LEGENDARY!
Travers and Thrall, holy smokes.
I had a Guitar Player Magazine from this time. I would have always thought these blistering solos were all played by Travers for the last 44 years if it wasn't for buying that magazine. This is one of the greatest songs ever imo.
THIS was s great band
Saw this lineup 8/5/1979 at the old San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium. Good memories.
I bet that was lots of fun. Saw Sky show 8 in the same place with Motley Crue and Def Leppard in 83. Think I saw Travers in 88 at a club show in Sarasota FL, they tore it up. Saw Trower in the same place and he killed it too. Ah, such sweet memories
@@TheDKServices Those KGB Sky Shows were one big party. Whenever I hear ELP's "Fanfare for the Common Man" it's a reminder of "the good, old days."
@@kurtkensson2059 I think every generation looks back to their good old days, But damn, we had some fun, no computers, smart phones etc etc. We got out into the mix, raced our friends in gas guzzling carbureted cars made of real metal, went to the beach, went to real live concerts. Damn good times!
Great rock sound. ❤❤❤
Is the complete concert available? This would make a great live CD release! Note to PT: please consider doing a reunion show with Thrall and Aldridge; maybe at the Whisky in Los Angeles.
Yes! A reunion show. I was always hoping for one while Mars was still with us. I’ve seen Pat with Mars, Jerry Riggs and some fine drummers, but have always wanted to see him perform with Thrall, Aldridge, and Cowling. And what better place than the Whisky about a 5 minute drive from my house! Hell…I’d even host the after party!
He did Sight and sound in concert for the BBC.but think that was 1977. Not about this one..
Unfortunately there are only 4 songs. I've post 2 already
One of the best line ups of any band ever !
Saw them headline at the Sporthole in Hollywood FL this tour....awesome.
They Sound Sensational!
☆☆☆☆☆
💯
It rocks ! Those were the days !
Pat Thrall is one kick ass take no prisoners guitar player.
Used to play this in a band many moons ago, and Life in London
Pat Travers was amazing back then
I saw Pat Travers in Albany, NY, at the Palace Theater around this time. They opened for the TUBES, and they blew them away!!
I saw them is 1980 in Fresno.
Just picked up a 3.5 of killer blow and have a 40 of JD have stage 4 cancer , need to feel good.great download..
If you gotta go, do it in style! Enjoy the time you have left, good sir.
2 Guitar Juggernauts P.T. Pat Thrall ,Mars Cowling and Tommy Aldridge Man O Man
Tommy? Really? I never knew that. What a trip.
Love this stuff. Back when rock was rock.
Tommy is alive and well and still playin' his ass off!!
I think I’ve played the live album and Crash and Burn around a zillion times in the last 40+ years. They still shred
Surprised the guitar didn't catch fire.
DAMM !!! That was smoking hot!
Awesome 😮
Excellent
That’s Jerry Riggs with him on guitar another monster player he had 2 tracks on the heavy metal movie also his own band Riggs from Atlanta he now tours with 38 special mars Collin’s on bass another monster player pat is a super cool guy great player song writer he still performs at 70 plus years of age at smaller clubs venues 😊rock till you drop sir ❤
Actually this is Pat Thrall, not Jerry Riggs.
The wammy bar position is really interesting too. I would love to know the process that you went through to use that technique.
Okay, I can see what’s going on better in Born under a bad sign. Very cool use of the bar.
Oh man thanks Pat for this rockin’ gem🎸🤘🏻 I was a huge Automatic Man and Stomu Yamashta fan from back in the day so I would be so stoked if you have any footage of those two bands you could post??? Thanks for the music over all these years🤘🏻
Yes I am.
Thank you so much Pat.
Impossible for a kiss fan to tell.
Saw these guys at the Manchester Apollo brilliant
oh HELL yes
Hughes/Thrall band. Pat Thrall played guitar with Meatloaf too!
Does anyone know links/videos that go back to Sunrise Musical theater in Ft. Lauderdale, FL early 1980s?
Pat Travers, Ronnie Van Zant, The Kinks, Ted Nugent at Hollywood Sportatorium?
I went to see Pat in Baltimore 1981 and this wasnt part of his song list. This is super rare.
Pat Thrall has never gotten the credit he deserves. Also, check out his work with Glenn Hughes on the album they put out: 'Hughes, Thrall'
