And an all around good dude. My uncle roadied for Pat in the late 70s thru to the early to mid 80s at a guess it was like 77'- 84' ish but anyhow I met him a few times when I was about 12 until the last time I was about 16 my uncle passed away about a year ago but he stayed pretty tight with Pat until the end
Loving every second of this Albert King classic, Greybeard! Man, I can't recall the last time I heard the name - Pat Travers. He was a beast on guitar! Taking me back to my younger days, brother - thank you! I think Harrri liked it just a little bit, too!
Most people recognize this from Albert King, but it was written by Booker T. Jones of Booker T and the MGs. They were the House Band at Stax Records in Memphis, TN. Their biggest hit was an instrumental called Green Onions.
One of my favorite covers of this classic. Their Boom Boom cover is great too along with Snortin' Whiskey and Crash and Burn. PTB always rocks em. Thanks for the reaction! 🤘🍻
I first heard this done by the group Cream. I was pretty young, but at least I was able to recognise it as Blues. I didn't spot how It was a Jazz-influenced version though. Learned that later.
This is a killer version of the song. I think you're right: that guitar was screaming for help😁 Pat plays the titlesong live without keys, it's all guitar. There are several versions on TH-cam, that certainly are worth checking out. Thanks for your review.
I believe the first lead was Pat Thrall. He played quite a bit of lead on the Crash and Burn album. The second was classic Travers. He loved his Cry Baby.
It's fun to see you dive into the sound head first! Pat needed only permission of William bell and Booker T to release his version of the song they gave to Albert King. Plenty of blues tunes had that line. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_Under_a_Bad_Sign_(song)
I got to see Pat Travers live only once, in the summer of 1978 at the Oakland Coliseum. It was a Day on the Green, put on by promoter Bill Graham, who always was able to book the great bands for shows in the San Francisco Bay Area. This will surprise most people, but Pat Travers was quite popular in the Bay Area, and had a higher billing than AC/DC and Van Halen, who were the opening acts for the day. Travers was up next, followed by Foreigner, and finally the headliner, Aerosmith. What a day of great music! AC/DC wasn't well known yet at this time, and Van Halen had just put out their 1st album a couple of months before this show. Personally, I think AC/DC stole the show, but Travers' set was also very good, as I hear he always was live.
PT was above them because he was an established act with 3 albums out,st that point. Van Halen was just hitting the scene,but only had an albums worth of songs. AC/DC was still relatively unknown.
@@heartfanjim01 True. And with that logic, I would have thought AC/DC would have had a higher billing than Van Halen, because they had 5 albums out at the time of this concert.
@rodjohnson2632 those albums were only available as imports. We were just starting to hear them a lot about this time. So they were basically a new band to us. They didn't play the US until this year.
@rodjohnson2632 their first us show was opening for Moxy in 1977. My point was at the time of this show,they were just starting to get known to the masses. They're album High Voltage and the first album we heard.
Pat Travers is a great guitarist and a superior vocalist!!! Very underrated !!!
Yes he is! Saw him at a local casino a few years ago and it was awesome 🎸 ✌️

Amazing guitarist. As an old South Florida boy, I've seen Pat Travers live 23+ times.

Though Travers was a accomplished guitarist, Pat Thrall played all leads on Crash and Burn.
Thanks Harri and GBMM, Somehow I forgot all about this one. Nice to hear it again.
For years Pat Travers had bass player Peter ‘Mars’ Cowling in his band, who in my humble opinion is in my top 5 all time.

"Life in London" too.
Long-time fan of the Pat Travers Band. And, this whole LP is friggin FIRE!
Love Pat Travers music. Especially the Radioactive album ! Seen him in concert 40 years ago!
It's unfortunate that the younger generation didn't know who wrote this song. Albert King. Love travers , he was a guitar hero. Peace.
Pat is a bad ass guitar player and what a great voice and growl! Been listening to Pat since 76.
THIS is my FAVORITE version of this classic !!
#FUNKY AF !!
Better than Albert King's?
@@John_Chu IMHO, yes
Pat is a living legend! and still making new great music! one of my main influences!
The lineup of that band changed me. Seen them twice back then. 😳
Snorting Whiskey is another great song by Pat Travers!

Pat Traver's signature great song is "Stevie" studio version. Most people don't really don't know his music. Listen to Stevie and you will understand.
Good job man and good choice Harry 👍

I had the album when it was released. Great tune thanks for suggesting it. Thanks for your reaction.
The Great Tommy Aldridge on drums.
Thanks for this reaction.. Just saw Pat on tour last November. Still great!
He was great live....all three times...
I would encourage you to check out his earlier stuff like the album Makin Magic or Putting it Straight
Great album!! Love Pat Travers!
Travers does a great cover of a poppin tune.
And Pat Thrall plays badass leads
@@chrispickett3092 Yes he does!
Travers had Such a GREAT Band at that Time , Much preferred Them to Van Halen etc etc
Great rock oldie! Saw him do this live the year this album came out along with Foghat a double bill. It was most awesome. Thanks for sharing!
You my man pick great songs 🎵 to react to ❤
Check out..."Snorting Whiskey and Drinking Cocain" or Boom,Boom, out goes the lights! (Live version).....you'll love them.

@@heartfanjim01 Not quite true. AC/DC played in the U.S. in '77 on their "Let There Be Rock" tour. I also bought the album here in the U.S. in '77.

Great Cover, You just cant go wrong with an Albert King Chicago blues number. Several bands have covered it, but Pat really makes you feel it.
Another great Canadian from Toronto Ontario, you should check out his Snorting Whiskey and Drinking Cocaine,
This song was made famous by Albert King so you have probably heard that line in his version as l don't think it appears in any other well known song.
Harry would love Walter Trout or Marcus King Band. One of you patrons let him know
Hey Harri, Ace Frehely song is rip it out.. he’s the original guitarist for Kiss
you might have heard Albert King do this song
If you want to hear a guitar really talk listen to mind bender by still water, it's a one hit wonder but it's a bad ass tune
Nice Greybeard I know the song but by someone else. Can't remember who at the moment. 😅
Look The Cream cover version this song
The line is from Hee Haw
Try Listening to Crash and Burn on the same album to me the best song on the album
I think Pat Thrall played the solo on this one?
Eric Clapton also done this song
Saw the crash n burn tour in toronto. A simply fabulous record!
I saw it in Oakland with Def Leppard opening. I saw the GFWYK tour the year before.
