Pat Travers so underrated his song Stevie is a Gem from start to finish and constantly on my playlist!
Yes!!
yep totally agree.. No one is reacting to his two best albums Makin Magic & Putting it straight
Thanks, Greybeard, for starting out with Space Station #5. On an outstanding marathon. Weirdly, it’s my fave on that album. ❤
Nothing wierd about it. It kicks, as does Rock the Nation,
Bad Motor Scooter, Rock Candy and the rest of the album.
Wow, absolutely fantastic video. Greybeard, thank you man. As soon as I seen who was on this marathon , I clicked on it. I love all these guitarist & their bands also. I actually got to see everyone played in the video numerous times. Except Steve Miller Band.
Love Ronnie Montrose, but I am a bigger fan of his band Gamma. Their first two albums are just killer. So are the Montrose albums, but Gamma.
I got to see Gamma open up for Rainbow & seen Ronnie solo twice.
Nick, Rick Derringer has been around forever. He had a hit at the age of 16 I believe in 1965 with the McCoys called Hang On Sloopy.
He was also in Johnny Winter's band, the Edgar Winter Group. He actually took over for Ronnie Montrose.
He's had solo success, Rock & Roll Hoochie Koo. But that album Derringer is a very underrated album from the 70's. Just a great album, Beyond The Universe, Sailor & Let Me In are both great from that to. Oh, & Derringer is a band, they put out a couple of albums.
I saw them open up for Aerosmith. And I seen Rick as a member of the Edgar Winter Group & opening that show was the James Gang with Tommy Bolin. I also got to see Tommy with Purple to.
Now, PT, Pat Travers, one of my all time favorites. I've never understood why this man & the band he always has, why they weren't HUGE. Nick Pat Travers is just fantastic. And yes he's going to kick your ass, but your also going to get some funk, jazz, blues, reggae. And he had a great voice back in the day. Got to see Pat many times. The first time he gets was the opening act for Starz & Track the Sky for $3.50
But I never heard of him before. And when he was being introduced, they said here from Toronto Canada to kick your ass the Pat Travers Band. And they did & I been a fan ever since. Mars Crowley was his bass player back then Nick. He played with Pat for a long time. But I seen PT a bunch time as headliner & opening for four times. The first time, UFO, Rainbow & Rush. Hopefully Nick, you'll get some more requests for him.
Steve Miller is great to. Don't know why I never got around to seeing him, but great artist.
And yes topping it off with my favorite all time guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. Great choice Nick. I don't really say this a lot because most of the time I prefer the studio versions, but you should hear Stormbringer live from Made In Europe, just more fire to it.
Nick you should do Deep Purple Mistreated from the Burn album some
time as a bonus song. One my favorite Blackmore solos towards the end of the song, just great. Seen Ritchie so many times also. With Purple, Rainbow & even Blackmore's Night twice.
But great marathon, really enjoyed it.
Spent a "few" bean-bag chair/headphone sessions with that "Wild Mountain Honey", back in the day. 😁
Just maybe the best hard rock LP of all. Montrose.
For me it has to be Live & Dangerous by Thin Lizzy.
@@chrisbarlow2131 for me that does not count. That is a comp. Live and great. For sure.
Space Station 4 is a icon of Space Rock
Was this the song right before Space Station #5?
I grew up on all of this and saw most of these bands. My favorite of the bunch was seeing Pat Travers. I got to see both Pat Travers and Rick Derringer in the same small club in suburban Chicago both as headliners. Pat let his band take a break and played guitar on his own for about 15 minutes and I was mesmerized.
Someone finally got around to “Wild Mountain Honey” - thanks Greybeard! Now let’s check out “The Window”!
So many great guitar players out there but Rick Derringer is one of the best guitarists ever imo. Listen to that whole album and Derringer Live, and All American Boy of course.
Its also a pleasure for him to enter the studio of The Dan and play a few songs!
Well considered assortment of classics. I especially loved the Pat Travers and Steve Miller band songs. Rick Derringer is very under appreciated. He does slide solos and guitar parts on three Steely Dan songs. 1.Show Biz Kids, 2. Chain Lightening and :3. My Rival. Great request and reaction Nick and Eric.
Thank you! Please do more Deep Purple! Maybe you could do a marathon with songs from EVERY Deep Purple line-up? How many line-ups are there? 8 maybe... That would be a fun and educating marathon. Take care 🙂👍
Wow ! I've seen all of these artists!
The amazing vocals on this Montrose album are none other than Sammy Haggar
Speaking of guitarists who are on another level, Steve Howe of Yes won the Guitar Player Magazine award for Best Over-all Guitarist five years in a row, was the very first Rock guitarist to be inducted into the Guitar Player Hall of Fame, was the first guitarist to be inducted into the Hall of Fame's Gallery of Greats, received the Prog God award in 2018, and his playing is treasured by his fellow famous guitarists. He pushes the envelope. ❤✌
The first Montrose album is a great sounding album, and very loud. I remember lying on the floor with speakers either side of my head just to enjoy the stereo of Space Station No 5. It very much played on the formula of the first couple of Led Zeppelin albums, but perhaps came out at a time when that kind of rock wasn't quite as fashionable. The Derringer guitar solo does remind me of Michael Schenker, although Derringer's career goes back further. According to Glenn Hughes, Ritchie Blackmore brought very little material to the writing sessions for the Stormbringer album because he was keeping material back for Rainbow's debut. The tracks he does contribute to Stormbringer, the title track and Gypsy show clearly how his style of writing was diverging from that of Coverdale and Hughes. I think greater musical knowledge improves your ability to write, whether or not you can play faster, although technique and musical adventurousness often go together.
The best version of the Pat Travers Band was the one from the late 70's, early 80's, with Pat Thrall, Tommy Aldredge, and Mars Cowling joining Pat. I saw the "Crash and Burn" tour and it blew me away! I'm a drummer and it was a game-changer seeing Pre-Ozzy Tommy Aldredge playing his incredible style of drumming. I love Pat Thrall too! I have been a fan of Pat's since his days with "Automatic Man"! What a great first album from that incredible group1 Nick, look up "Automatic Man" to get some SICK Pat Thrall licks -- along with Michael Shrieve on drums, Bayete on Keys and Doni Harvey on bass! Great Prog/Funk/Rock/Space-Rock/Pop band! Very Jimi Hendrix and Steely Dan influenced.
Liked the whole marathon Greybeard- I was 3rd row center Baltimore Civic Center in May 1975 to see Montrose with Sammy Hagar and Leslie West and Robin Trower
Me and Greybeard have the same musical tastes. So glad you did Loosen Up Your Grip from Derringer. One of my favorite rock guitar solos of all time.
Great choices and You might note the album Stormbringer was recorded in Munich followed by Rainbow`s first album and then Rainbow Rising ...so there is a three albums in a row connection to Munich if you were wondering about time Blackmore spent there....
Ni k McBain played with Pat Travers before landing with Maiden, Travers is Canadian!❤
Montrose is f&cking AWESOME!!!
Great songs! Brings me back to those days and have the Rick Derringer & Montrose albums. Owned a foosball hall during college ‘74-“75, and played a large catalog of various rock albums available from early Doors, Steppenwolf, Led Zeppelin, Captain Beyond, ZZ Top, etc., and it was so fun as the quarters were rolling in! Maybe I’ve missed a song in a marathon, but you can never leave out Robben Ford, who is a phenomenal jazzy blues guitarist. Toured and played lead guitar for Miles Davis, Yellowjackets and his solo album “Talk to Your Daughter” in ‘88 (I think) is excellent, as is his subsequent albums with Robben Ford and the Blue Line are most excellent! He is on RUclips and teaching lessons now and still touring. Toured all over the world with Larry Carlton who played on several Steely Dan albums!
Oh Pat Travers still playing ; a must see!
try Deep Purple MKiv "getting Tighter" No Blackmore but Glenn Hughes best vocal in my opinion!
Tommy Bolin on guitar, Glen sings the 💩 out of that song and a pretty funky bass line to boot.
You Keep On Movin is a great tune with the whole band on fire and don`t the Bolin Paice Jam as the bonus track
@@scottanderson8420
I think he should do Deep Purple marathon with songs from every line-up. That would be nice :)
Or Blackmore from 1962 with his session work and related bands up to 1967 ...
Great listen. Been ages since I've listened to Montrose and Derringer. Thanks GB.
Always loved Pat Travers
Rick Derringer one of the best guitarist period.
Steve Miller lived in central California at the time, near San Francisco (or in). Lots of hippies, (and a hippy commune nearby his home) and hippy bands, like Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, and others. It was the 70's you know! It is safe to say it was more of a pseudo-buddhist/eastern religion/mysticism music influence, as he used an electric sitar to play the string part.
There are a few excellent videos of Steve playing the electric sitar in concert on this song. It is even more fun to watch him live than hearing the studio version.
Ronnie Montrose , lead guitar player for Edgar Winter before going out on his own . Prominent on They only Come Out At night , a true classic by itself .
Great marathon as always. Steve Miller took me back to when I was first married in1976, a foolish naive 16-year-old who had NO business being married (STILL married to the same guy some 46 odd years) in our first apartment.. no TV, just a stereo and some great albums, Fly Like an Eagle being one of them. The entire album is GREAT, can't go wrong with any of the songs but my favorite has to be Mercury Blues. Hope that Nick can get around to listening to that. Thanks for the good time and memories guys! Take care and happy holiday season!
Pat Travers Live Album Great
Montrose is the best album that was never promoted by the record co. Warner Bros.
Rick Derringer reminds me of Wishbone Ash in places.
Pat Travers reminded me of Man.
wild mountain honey live was on a bootleg 8 track in august 1976 driving from MD to CO as an 18 yr old - my cousin made it for me as a live Steve Miller concert he recorded
Derringer members, 2/3 would go on to form Axis. Kenny Aaronson came from Dust. Rick could do Eddie Van Halen. its on yt. Stormbringer Ritchie's last hoorah but the Gypsy is bad ass and Lady Double Dealer a rocker.
Montrose - Lead vocals and rhythm guitar courtesy of Sammy Hagar. Now, for a far more impressive guitar solo by Ronnie Montrose (RIP), listen to this track from their third album (after Sammy left) - "Black Train": ruclips.net/video/aU-2u0L67qw/видео.html
Steve Miller, what can I say, he is Steve Miller, they are not. Not one of his most rocking tunes but he is a man among men.
Excellent Group of Guitarists Sammy Hagar on vocals Perfect Montrose was America’s answer to Led Zeppelin Looking at Your Album collection is like being in my room in High School and all Excellent choices Ronnie Montrose was first with Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer was They Only Come At Night
GBMM, so you're still hingin out there eh? Happy to hear something from you again. Happy Holidays dude.
Great marathon Greybeard. What I liked was that it featured two of my favourite rock albums, Montrose and Fly Like An Eagle, it reminded me how good Rick Derringer was (you don't play on three Steely Dan albums if you're not good) and it allowed me to listen to Pat Travers properly for the first time. I'm definitely going to look that album up. Thanks Nick, better flow I think.
Montrose Montrose is THE hard rock album of the pre VH era IMHO.
Speaking of Mistreated how about the studio version from Burn, the second guitar solo in that tune is majestic, melodic and worth the price of admission
Man...When I was in my late teens, I grew up in Rugeley England and there was a rock disco at The White Eagle on Horsefair in Rugeley. The DJ played tracks like Space Station No5, Emerald by Thin Lizzy, Let's Get Together by Roxy Music and he always ended it with It by Genesis. We used to head bang the night away to great rock music. Thanks again.
Ooh So Good to hear Pat Travers… I got this in 1977 vinyl… mindblowing rock… he was amazing even after… the following album… in 1978! Heat in the Streets 🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful Memories!
And Steve Miller… no words! 👌 Thanks Nick
Another album from Pat Travers…Putting it straight!
Heat In The Street was his fourth album. Making Magic & Putting It Straight came after his debut album.
But I love PT also.
Nick, great Steve Miller choice, great song.....the whole 'Fly Like An Eagle' album is superb, a real trippy stoner vibe. I recently discovered another Miller album I hadn't seen before, the brilliantly recorded and produced 'Circle Of Love' from 1981, some great songs on this including one that takes up all of side two, Macho City, an 18 minute fun and funky soundscape somewhat reminiscent of stuff off 'Fly Like An Eagle'. Worth checking out.
Nick........Rick Derringer is not only the Guitar Player but also the Singer.
Glad our host and everyone else enjoyed! Thought I'd throw in Wild Mountain Honey in at the end so you could cool off after the Travers track😊!
Great set, nice to see Montrose finally get another hearing here. Not a huge fan of Sammy Hagar, but he was at his best here and Ronnie Montrose was an often overlooked but great guitarist. Ditto for Rick Derringer and Pat Travers. I was expecting a more guitar oriented Steve Miller track but its still a great one regardless, and what can you say about Deep Purple? Richie Blackmore doesn’t always get his due it seems. While I enjoy every version of this band, the second iteration from 70-73 is far and away the best, no disrespect to Rod Evans, Nick Simper, David Coverdale, Glen Hughes, and Tommy Bolin. They are still touring but without Ritchie snd John Lord, so unless you are a fanboy I would recommend spending your hard earned cash elsewhere.
Pat Travers, a pretty good one, for a truly good time check out his "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)" for one of the best live audience participation tunes.
Hi nik , you really should check out pat travers makin magic
Do you know that a young Sammy Haggar was the front man for Montrose?
Blackmore wins. Every time. Genius. Fact.
please react southern empire, amazing prog rock band!
I think Sammy Hagar was like 20-21 when doing that Montrose album. He is one of those people that was put on this planet to rock &,roll
Sammy Hagar, still bringing it, 50 years later!
Rick Derringer, a little better, good player, despite the dark topic his "Jump Jump Jump" is some of his best
Ronnie Montrose il y a aussi molly achett
For me, I think "Montrose" was my 1st "Metal" album ("Heavy/Hard Rock"). I don't think it had a Zeppelin sound because Ronnie Montrose had a heavier sound, especially for the _riffs._ His TONE was very unique, and he was a bit more precise than Page. And Sammy Hagar sounded like _Sammy._ Yeah, I thought you had done Space Station #5, but it was indeed "Rock Candy", so maybe next time my personal fave "Rock the Nation" which was pretty heavy and you'll _get what I mean_ when you hear the main riff. Drummer "Denny Carmassi" many years later joined Heart for 5 albums, and Ronnie's other band "Gamma" on their last 2 albums.
That guitar solo from Derringer was outstanding, I think I have it on Lp but hardly listened to it (and that all my Lp's are in storage and I don't have a turntable anymore). I'll have to remedy that.
Another unique and great TONE for Pat Traverse, but the tone he had on their 5th studio album "Crash and Burn" (which you have on your shelf with Montrose) with 2nd guitarist "Pat Thrall" . . . DUDE, they were such a great duo for a short time.
1979's "Live! Go for What You Know" album adds new life to the past albums, and you get to hear that lush chorus/phaser sound added to the overdrive of Travers & Thrall's guitars.
Speaking of Maiden; "Nicko McBrain" played drums on the next 2 albums! :D Bassist "Mars Cowling" was with Pat since this debut and 7 more albums. Another album I need to listen to again. Glenn Hughes also is a guest singer on the 2nd album on a track called "Stevie", which Pat still plays live.
When I was starting to pay closer attention to "AOR/FM Radio" as a young teen, Steve Miller was one of my faves, but even though my Dad liked him too, he never bought a album (or 8-Track), so I only knew his "Hits" and had 2-3 45rpm records. It be songs like Wild Mountain Honey that peaked my interest that I occasionally heard on the radio. Fast forward many years later when I'd watch (here on Yt) live performances on variety shows (in the 70's) and was SHOCKED at what an outstanding Guitarist he was.
Well, heck, this is my fave song on the album "Stormbringer". Not Deep Purples strongest album, but you can hear with the title, where Ritchie Blackmore wanted to go, and why he formed "Rainbow". Especially that "solo", that really made an impression on me as a kid, even though at the time I had no idea _who_ I was listening to till I was 17 in 1981 when I immersed myself into Deep Purple (VERY late in life). Didn't get to send that album with the rest, but should have.
Your "Rainbow" realization - Hahaha! I'm laughing as YOU SAID IT right when I finished writing the above! :D.
"Mistreated" was on "Burn", which is really cool when DP played it at the "US Festival", and then Rainbow would play it live with Dio (DO checkout your DVD "Rainbow Live in Munich 77" with Lexi, Nick).
- Nice Marathon Greybeard! And the excellent addition Nick \m/.
Zeppelins power/heaviness didn't come from Page. It came from Bonham and Jones.
Deep Purple, one of the most talented and accomplished bands of their time. Have respect. this is one of their B tunes and they still stand tall.
Hey Nick, it's Sam. You got in touch with me a while back about maybe reacting to one or two of my songs. My wife and I have a duo called Wow and Flutter and we completed an original called "Brooklyn" Are you still interested in reacting? If so, please let us know how to send you our song. "Brooklyn is on my channel but it's a little outdated and we just remade it and love to share it.
First travers disc with makes no difference and this tune medley so good...
Again and again Yngwie Malmsteen hero worship. IMO he is technically one of the greats but for music history he will only remain a marginal note. Apart from Malmsteen fans, almost nobody knows any of his songs. Great guitarists have left something musically to posterity (e.g. the many unmistakable riffs of Keith Richards), Malmsteen just good guitar playing.
More Montrose? Now you're talking. Make It Last.
Montrose...generic rock, house band stuff, yeck
As far as the selection from Derringer that was the worst song on that album. How you can be selecting songs for playing and NOT select
Beyond the Universe ? Makes no sense.
Who the hell are u ru in charge of smpthn it's jus ur f/n opinion homie u must b a youth cause u don't know squat I'm 71yrs old I'm telling ya he did play the best Derringer song u dufus
