The Pat Trevers band was quite popular when I was a child but I was so enthralled with the symphony and all of my piano renditions of classical music that somehow this band bypassed me. Keep in mind that I was only a preteen....God forgive me...they are great.
pat is my reason to pick up a guitar.....i lay off for a couple of years, then go back to it.....and play better than ever, cause i listen to stuff like this.....i dont get people downin him,,everybody has a bad night....believe me i played bar bands,,etc...for 25 years....i saw pat blow" the babys' and ...seriously....RUSH....off the stage in 77...no shit.........people showed up late to the show, to see babys and rush, and i said.....Screw it...you missed the GUITARIST.....haha
What is it with these ancient canucks? The yanks were so busy getting commercial. Never heard new material from Pat since the early eighties.., but that was me lazy cat. Cool stuff. Just makes me think of the load of stuff Tommy Aldridge was on. Check out Pat's Heat in the street.
PT is just about my #1 all-time guitar hero ever since 78, his huge funky riffs influenced me as a guitarist, and still do. I saw the PT band live in 80, opening for Foghat, and PT seriouly blew those old burnt-out fucks off the stage, wish Pat would still play the Les Paul jr. but he's still rocking 30 years later with the PRS axe.
@bigassmatic Yeah no doubt your probably right I've had two 24 fret PRS, one 2002 model, and a 08 that I listed on e-bay last week but did not sell, I am going to put it back up soon,I never owned the LP jr, but played one once or twice, my 80's USA custom shop JACKSON is about the sweetest axe ever imo.
@earthcity1 Hey, I love Pat Travers, I saw him twice and he amazed me, and yes, I enjoyed his set more than I did Foghats('79), but I think your comment about Foghat is unfair and a little rude.You're entitled to your opnion, but before you think of someone as a burned out has-been, consider this: perhaps where they have been is farther than either one of us will ever be.Forgive the late response but I just found this video.
To AgentJar. I love sellersville, I see Frank Marino there every time I can, disappointed about the upcoming show being cancelled, Wish I saw Travers there . He is a top contender
Saw Pat Travers in 1980, he was great! One of the best! Saw him again in the 1990's and it was like he hadn't played in 10 years. He wads friggin' horrible.
Yeah he had quite an issue with cocaine, but now that he's kicked it, hes amazing to see live. Saw him last november in sellersville, PA. Freggin amazing show.
Yeah , I remember he was just coming up to be a very big artist then...BOOM BOOM...Van Halen hit and burst his artist bubble...I think he has learned about his kharma. I find Travers a very talented guitarist and musician that got his chops down and gives his all.
Gusman cultural center, he played Life in London to the T, he nailed everything, Mars whailed with Tommy Aldritch, power trio was the shit in the 70s-80s, they were at the top of the food chain G-3 Travers, Satriani, Vai.I'll ask Big Joe and see what he says.
Saw PT years ago and he was incredible, ranks up there with some of the other greats I have seen - Stevie Ray, Ted Nugent, Santana, Eddie, Angus and so on. (I just wish I could have seen Jimmy Page in his prime.)
I saw Trower, he is a God also, G-3 Travers Trower,Page:)I meet Gary hoey,Rick Vanfaussen, Joe Satriani, and Robin Trower, they were super cool, like talking to your best friends.

The fans make Youtube. If it were not for the jams I doubt that I would
even go to this site. And no, I don't upload but I got tons of songs on
playlist.

Me too.
He was so drunk that he did not even realise that he was picking his nose and not his guitar.(1990)
Worst concert of all time for me.
I really liked him before that.
