@BloozeRockJunky Did you know that next year Tommy appears on the album "Dirty Fingers" by Gary Moore?

[BloozeRockJunky]

@rallyivan1234 Yep, you are right. If you want to hear one of Tommy's all-time best drum solos, check out the GARY MOORE Live At The Marquee recording from 1981.

Do you know where can I find more footage of this show?

[BloozeRockJunky]

@chrismcm66 I've uploaded this song and one more--these two clips are the only video of Travers' peak period I've ever seen. VIdeo of PT's peak period is VERY RARE.

For me this was the beginning of the end. You don't go to a Pat Travers concert to watch him play keyboards.

[BloozeRockJunky]

Some of his later stuff was heavier--he went back to a trio format for several years. I've uploaded some videos from 2002 if you'd care to check them out.

This age of rock has sadly been lost. Pat Travers Band rocked people's faces off.  I long for the return of something this genuine in music.

[musiciangonefishin]

some of us do want the keyboards. fight the power.

[xxzeon]

love Travers.....

@TheNokie65 blackmore is a different dude, for sure, he has it all, great guitar player, just seemed like he didn't care what he played live, but a monumental guitarist of his time, a friend of mine saw the purple reunion tour, and said ritchie played bad,

[vanhalen515084]

what a great song, tommy was so right for this band, would have loved to see a pro shot full concert from the live go for what you know tour, they were so tight, does anyone know of any live footage from this era

[garcemac]

Pat Travers was (maybe still is) a little crybaby. We were the house band at the Elmo in the early nineties, and good ol' Pat made us play downstairs because he didn't like the reaction we were getting.

Almost everyone followed us downstairs and - yeah - Pat couldn't even succeed in the tiny little El Mocambo.

[lukemanify]

Is Pat Thhrall on this?

[TheADAMG95]

Saw the PT Band at the Reading Fest in 1980 it was filmed for the big screen but I've never heard of the footage since.

[newarrior3000]

@BloozeRockJunky thank you---He needs to get Tommy, Mars and Pat Thrall back in the BAND !!

[lukemanify]

PT got into the synth shit and then into strict blues...

[DLRisVH]

@philthy627 I spoke with Tommy Aldridge. He said this song was the change in PT's music that he did not dig at all and was the catalyst for him to move on....

[tejedadude]
