I was in a speed metal band back in 90-91 that opened up for Pat Travers. Met him before we played. Was a really nice guy and I was a little awestruck meeting him. Even though my band played a totally different kind of music, he came up after our set and told us he really liked what he heard. Saw him a few years later at the same club, and was surprised he remembered me and that show. Good guitar player and really cool guy.
I remember seeing Pat Travers Band in 1979 at San Jose Spartan Stadium in front of 25,000 fans. They opened the show, then followed by Cheap Trick and headliners Blue Oyster Cult. Great show and tickets were only $7.00!!!!! 👍😆
why should he give up , he's carved out a nice little niche for himself and has an audience that appreciates his work ,its just a shame that there isn't a bigger audience but that has more to do with America's changing demographics than anything else
I hear you brother very little talent of any kind musically these days so sad hopefully some will get inspired and try. Our music culture had eradicated by the rappers no soul in music anymore.
its not criminal its the sign of the times ...most bands like PT Band dont tour big places for a reason...they are easier to fill and those huge tours are costly .. so its also cheaper ...so it isnt criminal its just the way it is now ...all I can say is get out there and see bands when you can ...its drying up out there ..
I seen pat travers, edgar winter band and Rick derringer all together in the 90s and maybe 50 to 100 people there was sad that people missed out on some good ol rock! And the ticket cost was 5 bucks!
If Nikki C ever reads this - I remember you introduced me to this song back in 86/87 at your mom’s house (when she wasn’t home)…boom, boom out went my lights for sure 😜!
Saw PT and Rick Derringer at one concert in Roger's, Arkansas. They were absolutely kick ass and felt honored to see them play. They both were fantastic.
I let him use the maple schecter guitar with brass pickguard Jeff Watson at Sunrise music sold me so he could jam with my wife's band in a Red Lion Inn in Redding, CA. Monday night and the bar is empty. Pat offer to buy our band a round of drinks but is totally plastered. Only one guitar so I had to just watch. The manager is freaking out because Pat puts the twin reverb on volume 11 and plays three songs with band. Their band was headed to Alaska and moral was not as high as Pat was. Pat sounded awesome. Just like the record.
Saw him last night at the Medina entertainment center in Medina Mn. He opened for the Outlaws. He's still an incredible guitar player. Can't wait for his new album. Outlaws were Great too! Live music again!!
Tommy Aldridge the original drummer oh yeah, we got to live the dream. The best vinyl we all had. Rhythm and blues Boogie Woogie number boom boom, out go the lights ... I played this song on my drums and now I wanna learn all the grooves that Pat Travers played smokin guitar 🎸 and also play that blues bass groove gotta love it 🥰 boom boom I'm getting it in Vietnam out go the lights THC JamZ Crypto on TH-cam TV 📺
I have been a Pat Travers fan for something like 33 years! Dig that. Saw him at the Day on the Green (one of them) and a few other ventures. He is quite the significant player in my life.
I use to see this man in reno a lot!! but!!! don't live their anymore! they had good music go thru that city! my first bands I seen was the eagles,Hollies,johnny winter,when AC/DC first played with the last great! Bon Scott. that was a great show. there where others too many to name... thanks for the Video...
Seen him many times, still listen to him,seen him at the Oregon jam in the '70s with heart, Blue oyster cult, him and lover boy, seen him Head line shows also, always puts on a great show
I saw Pat on a very unfortunate occasion.......Randy Rhodes was killed in the infamous plane crash and Pat performed on one days notice to cover for Ozzy. March 20, 1982, Orlando, Florida , Rock Super Bowl. He made another special appearance with Ted Nugent in Orlando at the Jai jai fronton. It was a fun guitar battle and you could tell Pat was lit and having a great time with Ted. Special stuff. So glad I was there. Thanks Pat, you rock!
I remember going to pat travers in VANCOUVER back in the ,,,80s? He did this song and boom boom out went his SOUND. He got boo’d bad that night but they finally fixed it? He’d rather forget that night😅
I've seen Pat everywhere from Little gig that he did out in California and 86 when I was in the Navy I've seen them at Big stadiums with Aerosmith and I seen him at a little venue downtown Orlando or he did like an acoustic set I've seen him at Fern Park station out there just shooting pool and drinking some drinks coolest dude I've ever met God is autograph hung out with them awesome dude love Pat Travers
Pat has always been a fan favorite in Florida and I think your referring to the Great Southern Music Hall in downtown. I think a lot of go for what you know was recorded there. Fern Park station? Now your bringing back fond memories. : ) Thanks for your service.
What a coincidence? Pat Travers and I both play guitar, and both born April 12th? Aries Gutair player's Black bird McKnight, Eddie Hazel, Hillel Slovak,Muddy Waters Angus Young!! The list goes on?? Something Pure there!!! Aries Spirit!!!
When l was a kid l changed the lyrics about shooting a transformer and knocking out the electricity "lf l get a transformer in my sights, BOOM BOOM out go the lights!"
Pat Travers is one of the most underrated rock guitarists ever. Dude can play
I remember being 18 yrs old in 1978 and this jam was playing on FM radio stations everywhere....loved it then and still love it now
ditto!
Lol same

Good story man!
i've met him in a club here in Belgium....Totally agree with you. The man have Wide open ears and is totally human in the best manner of speaking. \m/
good times and era!!
Cool story.
My band also opened fir him a few years back. We smoked a pile of weed together lol

Accounting for inflation $7 then is equivalent to $28.23 today, which is ridiculously cheap by today’s standards.
I attended that tour Cal Expo. Kick ass.
I was there at that concert! The crowd was wAaaaaaaay better than this one, Yes? Can’t even say Out Go The Lights ( boom boom)😂
Damn BOC was still in their prime then.
Great line up!
One of the most UNDER-RATED guitarists of the past 4 decades. Cheers to Pat Travers for never giving up! Rock on! \M/
Boom Boom Cheers!
Agree 100%
Yeaup... Few peers.... Get it Pat !
why should he give up , he's carved out a nice little niche for himself and has an audience that appreciates his work ,its just a shame that there isn't a bigger audience but that has more to do with America's changing demographics than anything else
All of you youngsters pay attention. These are Real Musicians playing Real Music with Real Talent!!
almost as good as Justin Bieber. lol
Right
I hear you brother very little talent of any kind musically these days so sad hopefully some will get inspired and try. Our music culture had eradicated by the rappers no soul in music anymore.
Yep. Great days gone by. Didn’t need showmanship. Raw talent. So many great bands back in the day.
Another of my favorites
Crminally under rated guitar player/writer/performer/singer
Under rated. No way this dude a legend he kicks ass every time he comes in San Antonio
Pat is an awesome guitarist but doesn't receive enough recognition for his talent!
Pat has so much fun, he's proof positive that if you never stop having fun, you kind of never grow old.
My first concert,Foghat& Pat Travers band 1979 or 80 Market Square Arena.$ 6.50 ticket price.Still on of my favorites!!
Yeah man that show would've been so cool. I wore out the Foghat Live 8track til it wouldn't play anymore.
Oh wow so funnny I remember them both in concert
Damn I’m 60 and I’m here to tell you . Your one lucky cat .!! GOD bless ya
Every concert I went to in the late 1970's Pat was the opening act. He always closed with this song, it always rocked and still does!! BOOM! BOOM!
Me too lol.. freedom hall!
Criminal that a band this great is playing before such a small crowd
People don't want good music, they want Gwen Stefani clapping 🙄
its not criminal its the sign of the times ...most bands like PT Band dont tour big places for a reason...they are easier to fill and those huge tours are costly .. so its also cheaper ...so it isnt criminal its just the way it is now ...all I can say is get out there and see bands when you can ...its drying up out there ..
I seen pat travers, edgar winter band and Rick derringer all together in the 90s and maybe 50 to 100 people there was sad that people missed out on some good ol rock! And the ticket cost was 5 bucks!
I'm sure the people there think the contrary.
I like the smaller venues myself! Seen some really great bands here at the Tennessee Theatre!
Ahh! Fantastic memories of the 70's. Loved Pat all the way back to when he started out in the UK back in 75/76.
listen closely and hear that incredible bass line through out the song
Because that's Dave Pastorius, one of the best. and a nephew of the legendary Jaco Pastorius, jazz bass extraordinaire.
Love me a nice walking bass line.
@@jeffwheeler303he even looks like his uncle.
In college in 1979, listening to "Live, Go for What You know," and getting lit. Those were the days!!!
If Nikki C ever reads this - I remember you introduced me to this song back in 86/87 at your mom’s house (when she wasn’t home)…boom, boom out went my lights for sure 😜!
Pat Travers is a Rock Icon! Great performance! Rock On!💜
Saw him in Springfield, Illinois at the Armory. Go for what you know. He opened for Blue Oyster Cult. Best concert I ever saw.
Pat Travers and Buck Dharma are two of my favorites! That was a great show!!
That drummer is killing it.
Close My Eyes...It's 1980 Again...Great Job, Pat & Band!
Every time I watch this video there is a live concert party going on in my head 🎤🎶
Saw PT and Rick Derringer at one concert in Roger's, Arkansas. They were absolutely kick ass and felt honored to see them play. They both were fantastic.
Rick Derringer, Foreigner and Styx, Philadelphia in the 70s. it worked.
I saw pat travers at the cotton bowl, Dallas, texas, Aug 1979....good times, excellent weed 😊🇱🇷
I let him use the maple schecter guitar with brass pickguard Jeff Watson at Sunrise music sold me so he could jam with my wife's band in a Red Lion Inn in Redding, CA.

Spent many weekends at the Texas jam,many great bands,drunk and stoned,about to melt it was hotter than a three peckered billy goat
Yep, enjoyed this in the late 70's and 80's......loving it from The Philippines in 2019 :) Thank you !
Saw Pat in Plymouth U.K in the 70's wish he would tour here again, love your music Pat
Truly one of the greatest guitar wizards of all time. and I ain't just saying that. check me against your best critic.
I'm 69 and love this
If this doesn't get the party started, you're probably dead!😂😂
Inspired ❤ I have included this number on my hospice playlist..
Saw him last night at the Medina entertainment center in Medina Mn. He opened for the Outlaws. He's still an incredible guitar player. Can't wait for his new album. Outlaws were Great too!
Live music again!!
That had to have been a great show. Love the outlaws
Ric Toole who played with the outlaws for a few years now lives in my area and comes to the jams. Phenomenal guitar playing!
He keeps coming up with new ways to play it . Nice sound on this . Thanks .
Tommy Aldridge the original drummer oh yeah, we got to live the dream. The best vinyl we all had. Rhythm and blues
Boogie Woogie number boom boom, out go the lights ... I played this song on my drums and now I wanna learn all the grooves that Pat Travers played smokin guitar 🎸 and also play that blues bass groove gotta love it 🥰 boom boom I'm getting it in Vietnam out go the lights

This song came out when I was in High School. The jocks loved it.
The heads liked it also!!
Pat's bands are alway a fun-time band! 😎👍 Live! Go for What You Know and P.T.power Trio 2 are my Favorites
I believe he is one of the best guitarist of all time. Heat in the Street, is a great example of the man ahead of his time!!!
Pat Traverse is a fantastic performer and guitar player and he deserves a much larger crowd .
He also deserves to have his name spelled correctly.
Wow, I'm impressed...he still got it!
He's always had great guitar tones. Nice to see him tearing it up so recently
AWESOME BAND WITH SOUNDS!!! Never gets old hearing them!
You know what’s amazing........everyone playing KNEW their role in this song.........
It's amazing what you can do with a guitar, bass and drums.
... and talent :)
Some get it naturally, others work very hard to jam like Pat Travers!
And Jack Daniels
One of the most underrated a. kicking Guitar player in the world.

Pat Tracers is a great guitar player. His band should have been bigger.
In his heyday tommy aldridge was the drummer
He is amazing
Love this song!! ♥️ 🎧 ♥️
Oh,,,to have been in the audience too!! 💥 💥 💥
Underrated guitar player!
Don't know this Bass player but he is making Mars proud!
David Pastorius, Jaco's nephew, and a total badass!
Saw Pat Travers at the Kitchener Blues Festival about 6-7 years ago for the second time. First time was about 1978. They were tremendous.
Seen him many times, still listen to him,seen him at the Oregon jam in the '70s with heart, Blue oyster cult, him and lover boy, seen him Head line shows also, always puts on a great show
Good to see a rock audience can still take a cue...
Great version - I would love to see them live.
Saw him in 76 I believe . Anaheim CA. Pat Travers, JGeils, Rick Derringer , Foghat and Peter Frampton
damn that would have been one "helluva" concert!! Glad you can remember it!!
Holy S#*t !!
One of their best songs.
First time I've heard of this band. Good sounds!
First time for me was in the 70's. Never gets old.
Where have you been hiding
Jerry,
I highly recommend the album Crash and Burn. You will seek others after that . Good stuff.
Great tone and great playing....
28 June 1976 at Quaintways Chester. Mars on bass. Man what a gig.
I remember seeing him at the Ottawa House in Hull Quebec back in "the day". Awesome.
Saw him live in a small venue in Sellersville PA. Great show.
He attacked. He always had great players around him. He is very special
This is so PC incorrect and I love it ! Pat jams !! Awesome guitar player !!!
He puts on a good live rock show . I remember him from days of yore. He has some great albums.
I saw Pat on a very unfortunate occasion.......Randy Rhodes was killed in the infamous plane crash and Pat performed on one days notice to cover for Ozzy. March 20, 1982, Orlando, Florida , Rock Super Bowl. He made another special appearance with Ted Nugent in Orlando at the Jai jai fronton. It was a fun guitar battle and you could tell Pat was lit and having a great time with Ted. Special stuff. So glad I was there. Thanks Pat, you rock!

TY I needed that.
He did a fantastic show at the old Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh 💙🎼🎶🎵🎸
The Stanley theater was a great venue. I saw a hell of a lot of concerts there in the 70s and 80s.
Met him around 89 or 90 at the sandbar/network... Baltimore MD yes really nice
Takes me back to Junior High in the 70's
Saw them in my home town 1980.
Travers is a rock guitar legend. Definitely prefer his Les Paul sound over his Strat sound.
What a Great Musician!!!! An Icon !!
Had this on 8-track.
Knowing dime loved pat Travers playing makes it better
I've seen Pat everywhere from Little gig that he did out in California and 86 when I was in the Navy I've seen them at Big stadiums with Aerosmith and I seen him at a little venue downtown Orlando or he did like an acoustic set I've seen him at Fern Park station out there just shooting pool and drinking some drinks coolest dude I've ever met God is autograph hung out with them awesome dude love Pat Travers

First heard this on the school bus, circa 1978.
I'm READY FOR SOME CONCERTS !
Lil’ zenski gots dis.

Looks like they're opening up for Slash's Snakepit judging by the other drum kit? Would like to see Pat n Slash up there together!!
Those silver drums are killer.
A GOD on the guitar....Toppppp !!! For Ever...
Saw him as the support act to Sensational Alex Harvey Band in 70s
Jacksonville coliseum FL Travers/ Foghat late 70s tickets 8 bucks. Travers was ahead of his time.👊
I would love for Pat Travers and Billy Gibbons to get together for a jam, can't imagine the great experience. 😊
What a coincidence? Pat Travers and I both play guitar, and both born April 12th? Aries Gutair player's Black bird McKnight, Eddie Hazel, Hillel Slovak,Muddy Waters Angus Young!! The list goes on?? Something Pure there!!! Aries Spirit!!!
I saw Pat TrVerse in the 70’s when this tune was fresh👍😎
I saw Pat Travers as the opening act in the very early 80's...strangely enough he didn't play this song!
Best song!!!!!!!
When l was a kid l changed the lyrics about shooting a transformer and knocking out the electricity "lf l get a transformer in my sights, BOOM BOOM out go the lights!"
Saw them enjoyed them 1980 Yakima Washington with BOC
Revisiting 12-07-21 🤜💥🤛
Def Leppard opened for Pat, Crash and Burn Tour. Still going strong, You get a good show every time.
Max volume on that music.he appears to be able to just rock the shit out of a guitar. I would say one of the unknown and underrated guitarists
I love you man🤘🏻💥💥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
