PAT TRAVERS BAND: MAKIN' MAGIC Live 1977 *Rare Vintage Classic!*

[mrgeorgebailey1]

Thanks for the post. Pat could certainly rock the house back in those days. However, the band became much better with the additions of Tommy Alldridge on drums and Pat Thrall on backup guitar. I highly recomend their live album Go For What You Know.

I would have exploded from within if I had seen this video in 1980 when I first discovered Pat.

Loved them

[flyinv1967]

bass player is awesome!!!!!!!!

[waveform609]

This is like the 5th Pat Travers video I have seen here on youtube where the sound of the guitar in no way matches the paterns of his picking or finger positions. And the wah wah fluctuations occur magically with no foot pedal action.

[clocktime11]

awesome guitar........and the reason i picked one up ,, years ago....

[shredder1965]

Classic PT!

[Mitchell1Rocks]

This was the REAL deal. Mars Cowling is the ever amazing bass player!

Clive Edwards,awesome drummer Andy barnett

[sirsartana]

Hendrixian in all its glory!

Pat is a rock legend.

[mgerakos]

PT was definitely one of my guitar heroes-amazing how he nails all the rhythm parts while he's singing. Not easy! And those hip R&B-inflected arrangements, and the feeling he gets when he plays!

[gbpphat76]

Love what Pat can do with a guitar. He's totally unique.

[penalx]

I like the studio version better.

[heartfanjim01]

I like the Go For What You Know version best but this and the studio versions are great also.

I have this on CD and is much better quality.

[zzerovisibility]

Pat was such a good writer back then what happened to that funky progressive style?

Pat is a great legend!! I just love the first five albums!!

[zepncat]

What a great player, always been one of my faves..Go For What You Know, is the bible of guitar licks...a must have for any guitar player.....

[ReneeNme]

PT was wayyyyyyy ahead of his time.

very cool one

[robertdegiro]

magic

[doridriver]

I've got a really good recording of this on an old BBC CD.

[BloozeRockJunky]

Yeah, the PT BBC live CD is still available and features live material from 1977 and 1980. It would be great if the BBC Sights & Sounds TV show featuring Travers was officially released. They released the Nazareth show from 1977, so maybe the PT program will be available in the future....

[photopicker]

vocals sound great ... nice mix.

I saw PT open for Dickie Betts at Winterland and Day on The Green Oakland; AC/DC, VanHalen, PT, and a couple of headliners like Foreigner. Bon Scott, first time VanHalen experience (first album) all from the balcony behind the stage.

[jocko21]

First PT song I ever heard back in 76 or 77. I didn't know who it was at first but I was hooked. Many lp's and years later it still rocks. PT's the man!!!

[bcfc1961]

Mars Cowling !!. . .all hail the best bass player I have ever seen live, gigs in the 80's with no noise limit when the bass shook your rib cage. . feel sorry for you young kids today, that will never be allowed again!!

[BloozeRockJunky]

Right on, friend! Mars was THE MAN, and I'm willing to bet he could still blow the lug nuts off most of today's bassists!

[rickschade]

mars is my idol and hero

[rickschade]

@BloozeRockJunky I would agree.

[trinzeon]

Absolutely. MC was awesome. Trying to play him note for note off the Go for what you know album was the thing to do when I was in high school.

[56BUICKRiviera]

@bcfc1961 O man Concerts were loud in the 70s. Nothing at all like nowadays.

[SixStringJay]

Dig that see-thru bass Mars Cowling is playing on this song!
