waited 30yrs,1st ever sturgisnorth festival/bikerally,worth the wait.PT rocked as you see here,few years older is all.however, this is still one of my favs,good post.
This and the 1976 live version are both great but just funny seeing how much weight he added on through the years but then so did most of us through the years
I saw Pat play this song at least for 10 minutes at Spring Break - South Padre Island, Tx 1983. And for a month after it seem everytime I turned on the radio, BOOM BOOM was playing. Pat Travers you rocked in '83 and you still rock in 2011.
@MrMegaFredzeppelin well not really, it just reminds me of PTB before Thrall joined in '77. There's a video of the PTB doing this song from 1976 just prior to Thrall. The guitar was a bit more bluesy with less volume...but the audience was definitely not into singing along.
I think one of the first times I heard this song was at a bar in Youngstown OH (The Cave on Market St. near downtown) in 1978. This song came on the jukebox and the place when ape shit ! A huge bar fight broke out during the song...I think the sheer energy of this tune gets you adrenalin flowing that much...What a great live version by P.T.
Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with PT backstage at the Wildhorse in Nashville last year. Super nice guy and still rocks his butt off! (BTW, he was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. Heard Hendrix when he was 12 and ain't been the same since!)
Pat's going to be at Bubba's Big Party at the Tomahawk Fall Ride in September with Amanda Overmyer, BroadBand and Black Frog! Great show and loads of fun. details at TomahawkFallRide
