- The legendary Pat Travers Band featuring, Tommy Aldridge, Pat Thrall and Mars Cowling. Old Grey Whistle Test, Hammersmith Odeon 1980. Never seen before online. This is from the last tour of this version of the band.
I don't care what anyone says, ROCK is the greatest genre of music ever!!!!
Go For What You Know is one of the best live albums ever. Flawless.
Pat Thrall proves you can shred without sounding like Ed
Pound 4 pound, there's not a better hard rock drummer on this planet. Much respect for Tommy Aldridge....
Best line up with pat thrall,Mars cowling, Tommy Aldridge , they rocked hard
Aldridge still one of the best live drummers ever-ever-ever
I saw this lineup several times. It was his best in my opinion. One of the planets greatest rock drummers, a killer bassist and Mr Thrall was a great guitarist in his own right.
They also were very loud!!
I saw them with Rainbow and Krokus and it was the loudest concert of my life!!
*Sounds awesome!* 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I saw that tour also. Toledo Sports Arena!
Yes they were loud
OMG... rare footage of one of the best bands ever assembled!!!!!!! I would pay $200 for that full concert video, wish it was available.
Mars, Tommy, Thrall and Travers... it was too good to last.
zsnake2, Thanks soooo much for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scorpions, Travers and Nugent in Edmonton Canada 1980 (I think). PT band was unfuckingbelievable. Blew everyone away. Changed my life for the better. Thanks Mr Thrall. ☮️
Travers, Aldridge, Mars, Thrall... Insane lineup.
Pat Travers was one of the greatest balls out rock bands of that era, they just didn’t have the longevity so they have become somewhat forgotten.
Pat wasn’t a good enough songwriter to garner a widespread following. His guitar chops, while admirable, weren’t unique. It’s a pity.
They warmed up for Foghat when I saw them back then. After Travers played, Foghat didn't need to come out. Travers and Aldridge, with his 20 minute drum solo using his hands, blew Foghat away. They stole the show at Notre Dame.
I saw him at a small venue around 1979 and get goosebumps thinking of how hard he rocked the place. That guy kicked ass!
Pat Thrall, you're one of the best!
Pat Thrall is one kick ass take no prisoners guitar player.
I’ve checked this video out about 15-20 times the past few days, where has this been hiding?!! This could not be any more rock n roll right here…👏🔥💯🎯
I had the video in the closet for years. A friend had it ripped for me. I cleaned up the audio, added credits and posted it. Statesboro Blues and Crash and Burn are coming soon. Check out "Born Under a Bad Sign". We did a pretty cool version. Even our slow tempo songs were intense.
Travers and Thrall, one of the best dual guitar threats in rock. I've seen Pat Travers play in later years, but if I could warp back to this era, I'd be in the front row.
I saw this lineup many years ago Mars the bass player was badass also Tommy Aldridge on the drums great show
@@51502 Sweet! Yeah that whole lineup was stellar.
I seen this tour. I was in 7th grade.
The very day Tommy Aldridge became the drummer I always tried to play like. Lol they opened up for Foghat.. and BLEW the doors off Pulmer auditorium Davenport Iowa.
I was using a Systech Overdrive, Echoplex, Lexicon Prime Time and an AD/A Flanger. Travers was not using a Lexicon or a PCM 41 in 1980
Are you Pat Thrall?
Well thats his gear according to guitar world nov 18@jeffholt9437
Thank you so much for posting this gem of a video. Believe me when I say I will be watching this repeatedly on days to come. This is indeed gold to me🤘😎🤙
Hope all is well with you! Thanks for your awesome work with Travers.... listening to "Go for What You Know" keeps youth alive in my soul !!!
@@texanscott3217
100% agreed 🤘😎🤙
The reason PT’s songs live sound so much like the album is he has always recorded live in the studio with the whole band present..which included vocals and guitars ( at least back when he had a four piece band)..nowadays he tours with only three pieces..he still kicks ass at the age of 70…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I was there! Brilliant show from a classic lineup. "Go For What You Know" is still one of my favourite live albums - pity it wasn't a double!!!
I most agree with you I wore that out on 8tracks go for what you know!
Good driving music
Seriously, you were there! That is awesome! I haven't found video of any of those late 70's concerts I was at every week during high school.
@@howardmishne4840 I have quite a few "scalps" from back in the day. Aside from the general audience stuff (Anthrax, Motorhead) that made its way onto video, I was also filmed on Iron Maiden's Beast on the Road film and was in music videos for Accept, Twisted Sister and Status Quo (usually keep quiet about the last one!) ☺
Never got to see Pat Thrall play until just now; Talk about underrated.
Pat Thrall was in Automatic Man. Amazing stuff
Yep does that strat have a bridge humbucker ?? Maaaan!!!
Check out the “Hughes-Thrall band” 👍
@@danielevans9379 by that time his playing was on whole nutha level.. near shredding
@@SGED392
Yeah he’s one of those guitarists from that era that is so ridiculously underrated. John Sykes was like that until he got the Whitesnake gig.
Tommy Aldridge!!
That rhythm section is LEGENDARY!
One of the best line ups of any band ever !
Bunch of us ditched school and went to hear this on my friend's huge new stereo. Hot knives and beers and he cranked this on L O U D so we were all dancing hysterically and eating ju-jubes which turned into a ju-jube fight that got more and more out of control as the song drove us wild until on the last note a ju-jube sailed across the room and hit the power off button and killed the music. The sudden silence was devastating hilarious insane unforgettable.
Just picked up a 3.5 of killer blow and have a 40 of JD have stage 4 cancer , need to feel good.great download..
If you gotta go, do it in style! Enjoy the time you have left, good sir.
Travers and Thrall awesomeness!!
I got to see these guys open up for AC/DC on the Highway to Hell Tour 1979. They were fantastic. Pat Thall's guitar playing still stands out in my memory. These guys rocked the house. They are one of the best opening bands I've ever see. Oh yeah, AC/DC was incredible! 3rd row seating, we got sweated on by Angus.
I’m 59 now but in 1980 I was fifteen and this was my first concert. Pat Travers band with opener Def Leppard at the Memorial coliseum in Portland Oregon. Great show classic line up for both bands. Thanks for this video! Great memories.🎶
That HAD to be later .... I saw leppard open for Billy Squire in 83-84 , NO WAY they headlined in 80 !!! NO WAY
DL also opened on the “Blizzard of Oz” tour @1980.
The ULTIMATE PT LINEUP!!! PLEASE POST MORE FROM THIS GIG!!!!
One of my favorite songs of all time !!! Man, they kicked ass !!!
Pat had many great line ups through the years but this is my favorite! 🎸
My first time seeing PT was this tour, blew me away
This is INCREDIBLE to actually SEE!!! One of the absolute BEST Bands of the late 70's and 1980. PAT THRALL!!!!!!!
One of the best two-guitar attacks in rock history. Too bad it was so brief. Where I really loved Thrall’s work though was with Bayete and Doni Harvey and Mike Shrieve. The first Automatic Man record, with its hard rock - funk fusion, is awesome.
This PT lineup and their kickass party tunes formed the theme music to the soundtrack of my life in the late 70’s, especially the album “Crash and Burn”. I can’t count how many sets of tires I torched driving the twisties with that PT cassette blaring. That album and song title is still used as a term of endearment and toast when I get together with my old desert dirtbike racing buddies of similar age. I turn 65 this week. Seeing PT live when he, pat and Tommy and mars were all together was one of the best shows in memory and I literally saw them all over that period. I keep hoping there will be a renaissance of “real” 3 and 4 piece bands before they nail a lid on my box…
I think I’ve played the live album and Crash and Burn around a zillion times in the last 40+ years. They still shred
I saw the Pat Travers Band playing live at the Taylor County Coliseum in Abilene Texas in 1980. I took a bunch of photos of the show with my Nikon 35mm camera. I believe they were wearing the same or very similar stage wardrobe for that performance. As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t get any better than this!😊
THIS was s great band
Awesome band. Wish that lineup lasted longer, but this captures a few moments in time from a great time in my life. As a drummer...Tommy has provided a lifetime of inspiration. So clean and powerfu. Those double bass shuffles on the live album lit a fire under me. Thanks for posting this !!!!
Classic, Travers and Thrall rip!!!!
They Sound Sensational!
☆☆☆☆☆
💯
All star band, such great musicians.
これはお宝画像じゃあないですか！ 僕はPat Thrallの大ファンです！ I am 60 now and I bought the Hughes & Thrall record when I was in high school. I listened to it many many times... and I still listen to it :) I also have the remastered CD, too! Love the solo of this song. When I heard this song for the 1st time, the diminished phrase knocked me out ! You were way ahead of the time! A big fan from Japan.
Best band of their generation
Indeed!👏
If your generation includes bands like ufo lizzy & Aerosmith you’re not the best
That was great to see and hear Pat Travers ., back in those days I really got into the Makin' Magic album , amazing and still like it.
Go For What You Know is an all time fave and I can't count the number of times I searched for live footage of this legendary lineup and came up empty...till this. Holy shit what a band. Thanks for posting!
Wow I never seen this before, One of my favorites 😊
Thanks for posting this Pat ,it sure brought back some great memories
Saw this lineup 8/5/1979 at the old San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium. Good memories.
I bet that was lots of fun. Saw Sky show 8 in the same place with Motley Crue and Def Leppard in 83. Think I saw Travers in 88 at a club show in Sarasota FL, they tore it up. Saw Trower in the same place and he killed it too. Ah, such sweet memories
@@TheDKServices Those KGB Sky Shows were one big party. Whenever I hear ELP's "Fanfare for the Common Man" it's a reminder of "the good, old days."
@@kurtkensson2059 I think every generation looks back to their good old days, But damn, we had some fun, no computers, smart phones etc etc. We got out into the mix, raced our friends in gas guzzling carbureted cars made of real metal, went to the beach, went to real live concerts. Damn good times!
Pat fkg thrall!!!!✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Great tune. My favorite record of his: Putting it Straight. With one of the best rock-and-roll album covers EVER!
Saw these guys at the Manchester Apollo brilliant
I saw them, a few years later, in a bar, just outside Ft. Campbell Ky. They were awesome. Played a lot of ‘Crash and Burn’.
LOVE IT!!! Real live video, not a crappy overdub!
Incredible! I have waited over 40+ years to see that! What a line-up!
Tommy? Really? I never knew that. What a trip.
Love this stuff. Back when rock was rock.
Tommy is alive and well and still playin' his ass off!!
Surprised the guitar didn't catch fire.
DAMM !!! That was smoking hot!
One of my favorite live albums with this lineup
Yes! A reunion show. I was always hoping for one while Mars was still with us. I’ve seen Pat with Mars, Jerry Riggs and some fine drummers, but have always wanted to see him perform with Thrall, Aldridge, and Cowling. And what better place than the Whisky about a 5 minute drive from my house! Hell…I’d even host the after party!
Great rock sound. ❤❤❤
i remember visiting a friend in 1980, his name was duane france, when his mom said i was here, he slid down the banister of his stairway singing this
Excellent
2 Guitar Juggernauts P.T. Pat Thrall ,Mars Cowling and Tommy Aldridge Man O Man
❤. Saw them open for somebody a little before this, then again. Shocked by Tommy, of course. Another drumming great to study. BBC Live has the lineup and Crash And Burn stuff. A must hear for fans. Still just love that era, Heat In The Street lp, too.
Travers Band fanatic in '80; live Cotton Bowl show in Dallas (Aug.'79) w/Rush, Thorpe, Foghat, Point Blank, Heart (others). Went to see Tommy mostly. Years later, I met Travers in an East Tulsa bar, sitting w/a beer. Told him I was a huge fan and asked him what happened with the band and where Aldridge went. He got mad at me...wasn't nice. '91 saw him playing ass off in a Dallas bar...still had it! So does Thrall - both true rockers. Great live clip here - Thanks for posting!
Pat was probably pissed he could not keep that good of a band together. It was too good to be true!
I saw Pat Travers in Albany, NY, at the Palace Theater around this time. They opened for the TUBES, and they blew them away!!
Used to play this in a band many moons ago, and Life in London
Pat Travers was amazing back then
It rocks ! Those were the days !
I saw them is 1980 in Fresno.
Saw them headline at the Sporthole in Hollywood FL this tour....awesome.
I went to see Pat in Baltimore 1981 and this wasnt part of his song list. This is super rare.
Love this footage so much Pat thank you for sharing it, its total gold dust! Your playing has been inspiring me since I was a teenager. If you have any other live footage of you from the Travers, Automatic Man, Hughes Thrall eras that you could dig out that would be fantastic as there's not a lot out there from the 70s or 80s.
Thanks so much for the kind words. The only other footage I have is "Crash and Burn" and "Statesboro Blues" The versions that have been on RUclips are horrible quality. I'm getting ready to post the versions I have which are 100 times better and sound better. Unfortunately that is the only live footage of the Travers band when Tommy and I were playing with him, at least that I am aware of.
@@zsnake2 Thanks for taking the time to reply Pat, can't wait to see those other 2 upgraded clips. As for other footage there is this short clip of Hammerhead from Fresno 1980, starts about 6 mins in ruclips.net/video/9xefOwt5_40/видео.html
Yes I am.
My idol on the skins❤️him
Pat Thrall was a beast. wonder what he's doing now.
I'm an engineer and mixer for the last 20 years. www.allmusic.com/artist/pat-thrall-mn0000179876#credits
@@zsnake2 I love the Hughes/Thrall album!
I have that album
This is fantastic. Saw this show at Manchester
Rock On!!!
Thank you so much Pat.
Check out the forgotten “Hughes/Thrall band” 👍👍
Seen this at the Thirsty Whale a small bar outside Chicago somewhere in the 80’s
⚡👍 OMG! What a kicksss tune! Pat Thrall was amazing..just the entire band was killer. And ppl call the stuff that is released nowadays music... Pfft.
Thrill is amazing....
WOW!
TOmmy Aldridge got around.
Thrall kills!!
FINALLY!
I was 14 when this Magic came out of the Radio. This kind of MUSIC made me go AWOL from kiss army!! No more cheezy POP,ever again
I saw the band live just that year, Reading Festival, UK
Oh man thanks Pat for this rockin’ gem🎸🤘🏻 I was a huge Automatic Man and Stomu Yamashta fan from back in the day so I would be so stoked if you have any footage of those two bands you could post??? Thanks for the music over all these years🤘🏻
HOT!
Still listen periodically while lifting. Masterpiece.
IN…..SANITY
Is the complete concert available? This would make a great live CD release! Note to PT: please consider doing a reunion show with Thrall and Aldridge; maybe at the Whisky in Los Angeles.
Yes! A reunion show. I was always hoping for one while Mars was still with us. I’ve seen Pat with Mars, Jerry Riggs and some fine drummers, but have always wanted to see him perform with Thrall, Aldridge, and Cowling. And what better place than the Whisky about a 5 minute drive from my house! Hell…I’d even host the after party!
He did Sight and sound in concert for the BBC.but think that was 1977. Not about this one..
Unfortunately there are only 4 songs. I've post 2 already
This is rock n rooooollll
Fredoonnnnnnn
Trumpppppppppppp 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Is that Tommy Aldridge on drums... RIP Tommy
Tommy is still alive and well. Still playing his ass off.
I love travers , but he couldnt get over thrall stealing his thunder. What a shame.
Where the heck did you get that idea? It was Traver's band and his decision to share duties with someone he hired..... jeeeeez.
Michael " Poke " Zeller would be proud ,, if u no u no
