Glad to see this still on here.Used to watch this with my Dad who's been gone 5 years now but the memories of us watching this with shit eating grins on our faces never will.....
What is really evident, Pat is selfless. Other artists might cringe at having an equal, sharing the stage with them, but not Pat. This shows that "the sound", is more important than any ego. And the sound represents the Pat Travers Band. Just knockout, stellar guitar work that leaves you wanting more. I've always admired Pat for his disposition for going beyond himself in giving the audience the best possible musical experience.
Got to hand it to Pat Travers....when he has a 2nd guitarist in his bands, they're usually even better than he is, plus he gives them ample room to solo. I think that's not only the sign of a great guitarist, but a great band leader, to boot.
When we were young there were many reasons we learned to play. Clapton, Beck, Page, and on through the years, etc. All of them inspired. But Pat Thrall is responsible for a large amount our generation playing. He taught half a generation how to play...long before GIT. Many guitar players are in awe of his abilities and many of us also owe it to him that we can play like we can today. Both men are awesome players...and great together. My hat is off to Mr. Thrall for the contribution he made to my life and so many thousands of us...his students! I can still hear Snaker note by note in my head, 40 years later!
+D Steel homeage to Hendrix? did you have a pat thrall guitar book also.. came with 45 record that played although it was (cardboard record). you guys probably from bay area anyways .I'm laughin.. Wait. haha
Danny Hood I hung with some older dudes who...um...taught me a few things...LOL! 3 of them were photographers for Automatic Man (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_Man and turned me on to the guitar player. When I saw a book at the music store (West L.A. Music?) with his name on it I bought it instantly. Good choice! As a side note, if you watch the clip of Blackmore tossing his guitar into the photo pit against the stage at the California Jam you'll see three guys grab it first. One lets go, the other 2 go to the ground in the crowd. They did not get come up with it. Those are the guys I knew! Paul, Dave and Mike...I think it was...from Culver City.
@@dannyhood66 i had that book....wish i still did now - wow ...he made me the player i am , people always ask me where i learnt my style- between that book and scott gorham of thin lizzy ...it gave me all i wanted and needed ....i loved that book .
Now Travers is a great guitar player and a great singer, but I came here for Pat Thrall. He is just such an inspiration for me as a guitar player myself. He and Travers were such a pair
Pat Traver's Kick's Serious ass and ROCK'S, I have always been a Tommy Aldridge fan ever sense his first appearence with Black Oak Arkansas. In any music setting he Kicks and Rocks the stage . I miss these guys together making music !!!! They truly gave us great music and performances.
..saw this band open for everybody back yonder...definitely T.A.'s biggest challenge and his best playing..great tone ,great balance..a real rock and roll machine this bunch..
PT's band was kickin' in high gear! My favorite line up all time is when Pat Thrall was in the band. Makin' Magic is one of my all time favorite albums. Thanks PT>X2!!!!!!
I saw this tour. Agora Ballroom in Atlanta. Utterly devastating. One of the best shows I've ever seen and I've seen hundreds. Mars is the most underrated bassist of all time, a true genius. Tommy Aldridge was the most badass sonuvabitch drummer in the world and when he soloed and started beating his drums with his hands the audience went insane. Then you have two fantastic guitarists weaving in and out and around each other, both obviously having a great time. An amazing memory.
@flamecolumn - If you saw them in 79, then it was probably across the street at the Fox Theater. I saw them there in 79 , and youre right about Aldridge - he was doing an incredible solo, then throws his sticks into the crowd and proceeds to just bash the hell out of the drums with his hands lol....incredible! The whole concert was amazing! The Agora was great, saw ACDC there in 79 also. Tickets were $5
I saw PT open for Foghat in 1980 at Detroit's Cobo arena...that was one helluva performance by PT, Foghat just couldn't do, PT stole the show that night.
I built my first guitar around pat thralls guitar. I used a srtatoblaster preamp , DiMarzio x2n and Bill Lawrence pickups. At the time I was using a small Peavey amp but I still was louder than the guys with bigger amps. What a life! Peace
I agree BB! Saw this line-up in 1980 in Lakeland, Fl and they friggin' tore the place down!! One of the BEST shows I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better rock n roll line-up than this crew!!
Fantastic. Thanks for the upload. I saw these guys on this tour in San Francisco at the Warfield Theatre and they kicked ass. I still have the tape I had my buddie's Mom tape for me off the radio of that show. The two Pat's, Mars and Tommy were definitely an amazing collection of musicians. Too bad it was not to last.
When I got the live album I thought that Pat T. Played all the solos, but after listening over and over I realized that the other Pat T. Was joing in. I finally figured out that Thrall was outplaying Travers. I wish there were more videos of them together.
Yeah..the Reading show would be great ..I've been listening to the audio for ages...originally when it was broadcast on the BBC Rock Hour and later when it was released as a CD on Windsong Records...that was a great show!!
Not many guitarists played the Melody Maker. Part of Pat's unique tone. His tone and pedals combination sounded so different and it stood out to me anyway. Used to go see Pat here in Ottawa many times until he moved to London.
Oops, my mistake. I was thinking about the Live album "Go for what you Know" 1979 on PolyGram/Polydor. There's 8 songs on it. Wonder if there's any video footage of the same (?)
Awesome thanks for posting.. Those who saw this live are very lucky. Pat has never made it down to Australia but is very known to guitar players. I agree with flamecolumn well said brother!!
i saw pat travers in san antonio (my home town) just before the crash and burn album was released. the opening act was 'scorpions' (first time in s.a.) then pat travers band, then sammy hagar headlined......OMG!!! LOL it was a totally HOT show! but honestly as a professional musician, my opinion is .... Pat Travers - Pat Thrall - Mick 'Mars' Cowling - and - Tommy Aldridge ...STOLE THE F***ING SHOW!!!!!
Hey! What an epic lineup. I think they complemented each other great. We should not be comparing but we should be thankful that they were able to make music for a short period together. Pat Thrall is currently the in house engineer at a well known studio in Las Vegas. Travers is still touring and making records. Just released a new record last year called "Can Do".. Check it out!
Pat thrall? I heard pat thrall used to practice guitar at least 4 or 5 hours a day.. Travers said guitar player magazine 1980 crust .. i was fried Cross-eyed high on PCP dust.. called (lovely).. Haha...i called it crust.. people died.. its not funny anymore. I wouldn't even joke bout Thaaat .. brah's
kirk mckim - I know it’s six years later, but what’s the name of the studio? And, does he still work there? It would be worth it to buy some studio time just to hang with the guy! Beg him to play on my music-even to just record a jam!!!
Two Pats in one band? How many times does THAT happen in history? Travers was a good guitarist. Solid. Good style and tone but Thrall was so much more technical. The solo in this is amazing for any era but 1980.. that's almost 10 years before the whole GIT Paul Gilbert/Greg Howe/et al shredfest happened. I bet if you asked 100 guitarists today if they have heard of Pat Thrall, 99 will say Pat who?
It’s such a shame that they don’t know who he is. This was one of the best rock/blues bands that ever played together. Tommy Alldredge, Mars Cowling… It’s an all-star band!
Yeah man Pat Thrall was the man here. He held back too because he could of blown Travers off the stage if he wanted to. Amazing guitarist. I saw them live a few times back in the day.
Hi Kirk, nice to read your post :-) funny the places you can meet….and ? let's hear from you. waiting for your review on the last music that I sent ya. and importantly-hope your doing good. Cheers Eliot
Do you have any other videos from this show? or the whole show... I'm looking for any good quality PT shows from the 70s and 80s... the only good ones I have is The 76 Rockpalast DVD and 90 Toronto DVD
Man, I get so angry with people that have a problem with Pat Travers. He cant play clean or accurate enough for you .? but his ability to write the songs and sing them besides performing them still makes you knock him. Geez show me all the great hits from Pat Thrall. other then with Glenn Hughes.
Thanks for uploading this. I don't know what went wrong for Pat Travers. I saw him three times in the UK around this time and he had an incredible band... Peter 'Mars' Cowling is one of the best bass-guitarists that I've ever seen. OK... Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai and numerous others since, but it seems that the bottom fell out of the world for Pat Travers shortly after this.
Peter Marshall -I could be wrong, but I remember hearing something-decades ago-about him being blacklisted by the industry. I have no idea why. Maybe I’ll check his Wikipedia entry-I’ve never read it. Could’ve been the usual stories: drug problems, or just a lame, unsupportive, record company. A few of my favorites-such as Hughes/Thrall, Altered State, or World Trade, could’ve been huge if they had support from the biz. Sad, really.
Claymor - the guy is an all-around master rock ‘n’ roll musician, with one of the greatest rock voices OF ALL TIME!! Just like Pat Travers knew how to pick monster band members, Pat Thrall knew how to pick monster vocalists: Pat Travers and Glenn Hughes! Unbelievable!
Daddy. IS this what TV looked like when you were a kid? Maybe this is a copy of a copy of a copy of a degraded old vcr tape on its last leg. Still so cool to see the sound is still mostly intact.
The peak before they “crashed and burned”. The cocaine destroyed what would have been a phenomenal future for this line-up. I rate the Crash and Burn album as in top five of my rock and roll album list. It is an amazing album. I have seen interviews from Tommy Aldridge and Pat Travers stating they were on the cusp of greatness and drugs ruined an amazing band. Cocaine was the excess that blew them away.
@srvcanada Hell Yeah his best lineup by far and his best albums were from back in those early years. Puttin it Straight. Makin Magic, Heat in the Street and Live " Go for What you Know ". most of my favorite bands are from Canada April Wine, Rush, Loverboy, Triumph, Bryan Adams
I seen rainbow open for pat travers , I guess was okay, he had short hair rockers with short hair pissed me off, He played snortin whisky twice, crowd particapant standing ovation.. anyways i accidently smoked a joint laced with pcp dust, that was 1981, i walked home lookin for fun , got my weinie got stuck in a double bun, was good 81 , saw judas priest in 82 back then i couldnt dress like you,, I got thrown in slammmer in good ol peru, back in 82 , Now in 1983 ,i was finally free , out for some hynie, got busted disturbing the priest, drunk n high out befor the sun touched the sky,
Actually they asked me to come over and play but I was doing the Hughes/Thrall album so I gave them Brad Gillis phone number. We are both from Alameda CA
Appropriately, the awful video quality lends itself to the reality that "This came from a different era in music" and we can not return, we can only rejoice that it happened at all
Best lineup, not enough video of the pat thrall era
This band was SOOOOOO good...Pat Travers, Pat Thrall, Tommy Aldridge and Mars Cowling..lone of THE GREAT rock lineups of all time!
The drum deity Aldridge with the sorely overlooked Mars Cowling!? It doesn’t get much better than that!
This was THE best Pat Travers Band line up.
gmlasam yup nothing else comes close sadly
Well....YEAH!!! 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
Oh hell yeah. Seen them twice as a teenager with that lineup, man. BEAST!!!
58 here. STILL CRANKIN PAT TRAVERS. Tommy Aldridge!!!!
Glad to see this still on here.Used to watch this with my Dad who's been gone 5 years now but the memories of us watching this with shit eating grins on our faces never will.....
Pat Thrall was friggin immense!!
Holy shit!
What is really evident, Pat is selfless. Other artists might cringe at having an equal, sharing the stage with them, but not Pat. This shows that "the sound", is more important than any ego. And the sound represents the Pat Travers Band. Just knockout, stellar guitar work that leaves you wanting more. I've always admired Pat for his disposition for going beyond himself in giving the audience the best possible musical experience.
Agree, absolutely
He was in his prime in the '80s. Having Pat Thrall, Peter "Mars" Cowling and Tommy Aldridge were FINE additions! His best years!
Got to hand it to Pat Travers....when he has a 2nd guitarist in his bands, they're usually even better than he is, plus he gives them ample room to solo. I think that's not only the sign of a great guitarist, but a great band leader, to boot.
Amen brother!!!
Saw him several times with this band. Blew me away, still does. Absolutely beyond anything you will ever see today, 🔥🔥🔥
Pat’s been rockin a long time. Always gives it 110%, and then some. Should have had a lot more recognition than he’s gotten. Good stuff!👍🇺🇸❤️
Pat is a living guitar legend! he should be filling arenas!! Still making new music to this day!! Hope I get to see you play again Pat!
Thanks so much for posting; there is so little from this Pat Travers era.
Sure wish there was more Video of this line up!
They were the best guitar duet I've ever seen!
When we were young there were many reasons we learned to play. Clapton, Beck, Page, and on through the years, etc. All of them inspired.

+TheDogpa Yeah!, I'm also one of that generation. Also Homage to Hendrix. Very true man, I learned my soloing from him.
Amen!
+D Steel homeage to Hendrix? did you have a pat thrall guitar book also.. came with 45 record that played although it was (cardboard record). you guys probably from bay area anyways .I'm laughin.. Wait. haha

I saw this lineup. Yes, they were that fucking good.
Killer stuff
Now Travers is a great guitar player and a great singer, but I came here for Pat Thrall. He is just such an inspiration for me as a guitar player myself. He and Travers were such a pair
As a fellow professional musician, I could not agree more!!! Great band, and Pat Thrall freaking kicks ASS!!!!!!
Pat Traver's Kick's Serious ass and ROCK'S, I have always been a Tommy Aldridge fan ever sense his first appearence with Black Oak Arkansas. In any music setting he Kicks and Rocks the stage . I miss these guys together making music !!!! They truly gave us great music and performances.
Happy Birthday P.T.!!!
I was there that night with AC/DC fan he was blown away by Pat travers OH WHAT A NIGHT
This particular band was ridiculous . Saw em twice. Loved the stereo flanging effect
until he went to smokin whiskey i was in awe. saw him play this and it just turned the worm. for me
ADA flanger they are worth a fortune now.
So cool maybe the best guitar duo ever
lukemanify they fed off each other, pushing each other
They’ve got it down pat‼️
I like very mucht Black pearl album, and Hot Shot too, congratulations, I`m from Spain and a big fan.....and guitarrist too. sincerely santy
..saw this band open for everybody back yonder...definitely T.A.'s biggest challenge and his best playing..great tone ,great balance..a real rock and roll machine this bunch..
One of rocks best line-up!
I witnessed it live, it was incredible. This lineup was the best live rock band I have ever seen and I have seen a lot and been in some.
saw Travers and Thrall open for RUSH in 78. They killed
couch63 - oh my...🤯
I bet they gave rush a run for their money!!
@@Cinemagoer_64, I’d love to hear Lerxst get out there in the mix. Lemme hear the twin Saint Patricks cutting heads with Saint Alexander!
PT's band was kickin' in high gear! My favorite line up all time is when Pat Thrall was in the band. Makin' Magic is one of my all time favorite albums. Thanks PT>X2!!!!!!
That was the line up ! Mars was a beast ! Tommy and all on stage !
I saw this tour. Agora Ballroom in Atlanta.
Utterly devastating. One of the best shows I've ever seen and I've seen hundreds.
Mars is the most underrated bassist of all time, a true genius. Tommy Aldridge was the most badass sonuvabitch drummer in the world and when he soloed and started beating his drums with his hands the audience went insane.

Love ta see Boom Boom from this same time period with Tommy on drums. Something in 80 at UCLA. Amazing!!
I saw PT open for Foghat in 1980 at Detroit's Cobo arena...that was one helluva performance by PT, Foghat just couldn't do, PT stole the show that night.
(cont.) ...they were literally to this day the hottest-tightest rock and roll band i have ever seen live! (more to follow lol)
Too bad the audio and video is so poor as I saw these guys and it' was the best guitar duo I've ever seen!
Pat Thrall was an absolute sorcerer and an innovator. One of my favs of all-time from this era.
I built my first guitar around pat thralls guitar. I used a srtatoblaster preamp , DiMarzio x2n and Bill Lawrence pickups. At the time I was using a small Peavey amp but I still was louder than the guys with bigger amps. What a life! Peace
I agree BB! Saw this line-up in 1980 in Lakeland, Fl and they friggin' tore the place down!! One of the BEST shows I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better rock n roll line-up than this crew!!
Some great end of the 1970's excess!
My favorite version of this song,P.T. Rocks!!!
Happy Birthday Pat!!!
absolutely amazing
Fantastic. Thanks for the upload. I saw these guys on this tour in San Francisco at the Warfield Theatre and they kicked ass. I still have the tape I had my buddie's Mom tape for me off the radio of that show. The two Pat's, Mars and Tommy were definitely an amazing collection of musicians. Too bad it was not to last.
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you do it!
When I got the live album I thought that Pat T. Played all the solos, but after listening over and over I realized that the other Pat T. Was joing in. I finally figured out that Thrall was outplaying Travers. I wish there were more videos of them together.
P.T. at his best!!! ripping!
The best lineup ever!
Saw him in Dover. He rocked
Yeah..the Reading show would be great ..I've been listening to the audio for ages...originally when it was broadcast on the BBC Rock Hour and later when it was released as a CD on Windsong Records...that was a great show!!

This band kicked any bands ass that would ever go on before or after them.
Great job dudes. Good sound. Great song too. UR smoken.
Awesome thanks for posting.. Those who saw this live are very lucky. Pat has never made it down to Australia but is very known to guitar players. I agree with flamecolumn well said brother!!
@wahwahcolin he has been to me for at least 33 years since I heard him with Automatic Man then with PT.
i saw pat travers in san antonio (my home town) just before the crash and burn album was released. the opening act was 'scorpions' (first time in s.a.) then pat travers band, then sammy hagar headlined......OMG!!! LOL it was a totally HOT show! but honestly as a professional musician, my opinion is .... Pat Travers - Pat Thrall - Mick 'Mars' Cowling - and - Tommy Aldridge ...STOLE THE F***ING SHOW!!!!!
If this was Hammersmith Odeon March 1980, I was there and it was a friend who filmed it .. Simon Fallon .. is that right ??
See kids, thats how its done!
This line up was great. The current line up with Kirk,Rodney and Sandy is right up there with them.
Thrall was great no doubt. PT had it all the guitar style, great player. great voice and he looked good!
i have a version of this on the b side of boom boom,its awesome.wish there was live footage of that
Hey! What an epic lineup. I think they complemented each other great. We should not be comparing but we should be thankful that they were able to make music for a short period together.

Hi Kirk,
nice to read your post :-) funny the places you can meet….and ? let's hear from you.
waiting for your review on the last music that I sent ya. and importantly-hope your doing good. Cheers Eliot
Do you have any other videos from this show? or the whole show... I'm looking for any good quality PT shows from the 70s and 80s... the only good ones I have is The 76 Rockpalast DVD and 90 Toronto DVD
Back when it took TWO awesome guitarists to cut heads. Now there isn’t one good enough to stand in the round!!
Man, I get so angry with people that have
a problem with Pat Travers. He cant play
clean or accurate enough for you .?
but his ability to write the songs and
sing them besides performing them
still makes you knock him. Geez show
me all the great hits from Pat Thrall. other
then with Glenn Hughes.
This version of ptb definitely had chemistry,videos of this particular line up seem to be few and far between
Pat Travers was never a heavy metal band. There's always a clear rock n roll undercurrent.
yea!
Nice. Was not dragged out.
Thanks for uploading this. I don't know what went wrong for Pat Travers. I saw him three times in the UK around this time and he had an incredible band... Peter 'Mars' Cowling is one of the best bass-guitarists that I've ever seen. OK... Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai and numerous others since, but it seems that the bottom fell out of the world for Pat Travers shortly after this.
Peter Marshall -I could be wrong, but I remember hearing something-decades ago-about him being blacklisted by the industry. I have no idea why.

A few of my favorites-such as Hughes/Thrall, Altered State, or World Trade, could’ve been huge if they had support from the biz. Sad, really.
@srvcanada
An insane line up!!
I actually think PT's singing was a bit underrated. Great rock voice.
Claymor - the guy is an all-around master rock ‘n’ roll musician, with one of the greatest rock voices OF ALL TIME!! Just like Pat Travers knew how to pick monster band members, Pat Thrall knew how to pick monster vocalists: Pat Travers and Glenn Hughes! Unbelievable!
Daddy. IS this what TV looked like when you were a kid? Maybe this is a copy of a copy of a copy of a degraded old vcr tape on its last leg. Still so cool to see the sound is still mostly intact.
Loudest band I've ever heard live...def worth the hearing loss...haha!
Epic
Video from Travers' peak period is VERY RARE--not too much exists. I have posted stuff from '77 and the 1990's--check it out.
The peak before they “crashed and burned”. The cocaine destroyed what would have been a phenomenal future for this line-up. I rate the Crash and Burn album as in top five of my rock and roll album list. It is an amazing album.
I have seen interviews from Tommy Aldridge and Pat Travers stating they were on the cusp of greatness and drugs ruined an amazing band. Cocaine was the excess that blew them away.
I'm not sure why he fired Nicko but Tommy's heavy style with 2 guitarists can't be argued with
Not sure how you could compare this version of the PTB to Spinal Tap...
PT ROXX
Is there a full concert tape?
Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got em.
I'm suddenly inspired to log off, go to my sound-proofed room, plug in, and blow the fucking roof off.
Ole Pats got the cocaine grind going on!!
@srvcanada Hell Yeah his best lineup by far and his best albums were from
back in those early years. Puttin it Straight. Makin Magic, Heat in the Street and
Live " Go for What you Know ". most of my favorite bands are from Canada
April Wine, Rush, Loverboy, Triumph, Bryan Adams
Son of a bitch! Pat Thrall!!!
I seen rainbow open for pat travers , I guess was okay, he had short hair rockers with short hair pissed me off, He played snortin whisky twice, crowd particapant standing ovation.. anyways i accidently smoked a joint laced with pcp dust, that was 1981, i walked home lookin for fun , got my weinie got stuck in a double bun, was good 81 , saw judas priest in 82 back then i couldnt dress like you,, I got thrown in slammmer in good ol peru, back in 82 , Now in 1983 ,i was finally free , out for some hynie, got busted disturbing the priest, drunk n high out befor the sun touched the sky,
you seem to still be high
+pumasgoya high? Shit I wish , my brain fried . total cross eyed..
ha ha ha ha
travers opened for rainbow not the other way round
Sort of surprised Thrall didn't end up in Ozzy at least in a transitional role after Randy.
Actually they asked me to come over and play but I was doing the Hughes/Thrall album so I gave them Brad Gillis phone number. We are both from Alameda CA
Pat Thrall was the first guy I phoned.
Tommy asked me to come and have a play with them but I was doing the Hughes/Thrall album. I recommended Brad Gillis.
Pat thralls tone is better
No really guys, I absolutely love them. No offence meant, they're fab. Just a bit y'know, Spinal Tap. But they go all the way to eleven!
That’s about the only similarity!
pat thrall is a better player ...well according to this video .
Trall was better (solos)
Travers was a better lead pedal wah wah player.
they are nothing like spinal tap LOL its just that this perticular video has really loud and shitty sound
Appropriately, the awful video quality lends itself to the reality that "This came from a different era in music" and we can not return, we can only rejoice that it happened at all
