02 Life In London
Born in Toronto on April 12 1954, Pat Travers was playing guitar before he reached his teens, but it was watching Jimi Hendrix live that first inspired him to become a rock guitarist. For several years he paid his music dues playing the rock Clubs around Quebec in such bands as 'Red Hot' and 'Merge'. It was during this period when he was spotted by 50s rock n roll legend Ronnie Hawkins who asked the young guitarist to join him on tour. Despite the difference in musical style, Travers used the experience to further develop his skills. After a year however he decided it was time to go for his dream and at the age of 20 he packed his bags and moved to London, England. A short demo tape lead to him being signed to Polydor and in April1976 he released his debut album 'Pat Travers'. Following an appearance at the Reading festival Pat continued to tour in front of huge audiences and released another two albums before heading to America.
The US took to Travers like ducks to water and he gained a massive following and much critical acclaim for both his live shows and his studio albums two of which, Live! Go For What You Know and Crash and Burn, entered the US top 30. The 80s established him as one off the most distinctive guitarists on the scene, combining heavy metal riffology with moments of musical genius. After bowing out of the studio for several years due to his disillusionment with the record industry he recorded School of Hard Knocks in 1990, an album that was to prove a huge success amongst his fans and win him many new admirers. This was followed by the album 'Boom Boom -- Live at the Diamond'. He continues to play live concerts today and has established a reputation of one of the very best hard rock guitarists in the world. Now for the first time ever, you can witness the living legend playing many of his best loved tunes to an ecstatic Toronto audience.

Next to Stevie, this is my favorite song by Pat Travers, as hard rocking as they get !!!!
Loved the Thrall/Cowling/Aldridge era, but the Riggs lineup smoked as well!! Had the pleasure of catching this tour back in the day. Pat never fails to deliver!
Yeah, I saw this incarnation of Pat's band at a Club in San Jose in the early 90s, and they KICKED ASS !!!
@@1970borntorun / I saw the 1981 Travers/Thrall line-up towards the very end when Thrall was annoying the hell out of Travers live as he was absolutely uncontrollable and missing stops and changes and overplaying the sh!t out of everything, basically just a nuisance on stage. It was strangely entertaining because Thrall was incredible but also totally done with that band... Then I saw them in 1990 with this line-up and was totally impressed with Riggs and the new drummer - super tight -
Dude's been meltin' me ear-bones since I was 15.... awesome!
This is the perfect model of a kickin band...truely awesome!
Putting It Straight.. Will always be One of the best albums in ROCK N ROLL
Theres hendrix...trower...travers...alvin lee
Real masters of rock n roll...
I saw them back in the day at Massey Hall in Toronto. Travers, Thrall, Cowling and Aldridge. What a show and what a great band they were live. Still kicking ass.
I was at that show! What a great concert!
That was their peak
Wow!!!!!!
This band is TIGHT !
Saw Pat in the early eighties at the Sunrise Music Theater in S. FL. Awesome underrated guitarist and great voice!
Sunrise was a fine place to go but I've seen a lot of groups at the Hollywood sportatorium, Ted Nugent cat scratch fever in 77' !!!!!!
@@robertpalumbo2814 Yup been to the Distortatatorium.
@@kenwolf6334 did you happen to catch Pink Floyd in Miami in the summer of '77 ? When they were promoting the animals album ? They play The animals album on the first set and then they played the dark side of the Moon on the second set, it was a great show.
@@robertpalumbo2814 No man I moved down to S.Florida in June of 78.
Yet another under apprieciated band .... especially live ....they're bringing that studio mix right to the stage !
spot on
Pat is a King and stays good and strong
This is Rock!
RIGHT ON
Sad ass week. Just saw that Peter "Mars" Cowling, died on 3/20/2018. A gifted bassist that could play anything! He was the backbone for PT for many years. Truly a sad loss!
drummer is Scott Zymowski. Played on School of hard knocks album. Excellent video!!
R.I.P. Peter “Mars” Cowling
Aspiring bands take note-- this is how it's done.
Fantastic band backing him up making him shine even more !
Pat Travers is ROCKIN' AWESOME . Saw him & met him in Vegas last Nov.8,2012 . Think he's 60 now & STILL GREAT !!!!
Cool story! Glad to see it in 2024. PEACE !!!
this is why write songs on you tube❤
That other dude knows his way around a guitar
Seen Pat twice in my life and he's still kicks ass! I'd love to see the line up that was from heat in the street! Pat Thrall and Travers together was awesome!
Looking and sounding awesome, as ever. I rock out to your music, every single night. And what I wouldn’t give, to see you perform, “What You Mean To Me,” live. So sweet 💕. Thanks for all the great music over the years. I saw you live in Santa Clara, Ca. once. And met you after the show. A night, I’ll never forget 😁.
OMG..I was at this gig!!! So great!
Saw them as opening act for Nazareth during their life in London Tour at Cleveland Public Hall in 1979....They were Beyond Awsome to this day I remember when they opened with Life in London so kick ass...was a fantastic Concert!!❤
Saw this awesome band in 1982
Always loved PT! I've seen several of his lineups, this one 2 or 3 times, and they were great. "Mars, Pat and Tommy" were the baddest of the bunch. But, my 2nd favorite lineup was Sandy Gennaro, Kirk McKim, and Rodney O'Quinn. They just had that something special "chemistry" that made them great.!! Did you guys see them??? So great.....
played on my 18th birthday party at Madison colosseum opened for rush and golden earing changed my life!!!
Steven Dee's and Jerry Riggs were smoking adding fuel Pat's frenetic crunchy sound. Best line up ever.
RIP Mars Cowling.
Badass.
Great bass man Mr.Cowling
Outstanding show, camera work and sound mixing!
Still kicking ass and taking names! Thanks for these downloads.
Met Pat at Rooster T. Feathers .... got a hug from Mr. T as well an autograph!
I fucking love Pat. All my music is based on him and Diemola
Great song 👌

Thank you for the video and greetings from Davenport Iowa USA
Energy............................
Wow, just finding out Pat Travers other stuff, than "Snortin Whiskey" this almost has a Molly Hatchet/Judas Priest mixed sound. That kicked ass, . Should of been on the radio .....
I have seen this live. Awesome, he even played in big as bar up the creek in hillbilly country WV. That was awesome also.
Mars Cowling for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!
R.I.P. Mars
Why couldn't I have been blessed with Jerry Riggs' hair?
Sick
fuckin wow..
Holy CRAP! MASSIVE!
Fuckin' kickass!
This is the best effin driving song ever created. Effin WICKED! Attracts cops though. LOL Who needs amphetamines with music like this. Ha!
Looks like a young Jerry Riggs getting after it
is that mars on bass?
Yeah, that's Peter "Mars" Cowling on bass, Jerry Riggs on guitar and the drummer's name escapes me but he came into the band after Pat Marchino
James Rockford Mars keeping it tight.
Mars, is a truly class bass player. I get the feeling he'd play great funk too.
@@joconnell8145
Scott Zymoski. Hope I spelled it correctly.
@@jaclynrae4918 Right, I remember the name now, thanks!
Who is that drummer kicking ass??
where is jerry riggs now?
Playing with 38 Special!
Anther greayguiyar plauer the stratcasyer helps
I think that the drummer is the fantastic Nicko McBrain...
Nico left long before 1990 I'm afraid.
But no
You think wrong.
My former Drummer,Scott Zymowski
LONG before shitty Hair Metal and Marble-Mouth Pearl Jam and his band of mediocrity, we had Bands that actually knew how to play their instruments and put on a killer Live Show !!! lol
WFO 😮
i saw this tour. the other guitar player is great but didnt fit the band
I can’t believe someone thought the drummer was Nicko McBrain
Not quite, McBrain went on to join Iron Maiden. He played on the early Pat 3 piece stuff, with Cowling and a young Pat, before he went broke and his band went exit stage left. Pat began to sweat profusely on stage in the later years. Mostly because he was a trustee of modern chemistry and a power drinker. Pat’s records really went south when Aldridge and Pat Thrall left. He had some good tunes but the production values were terrible and Pat refused to play guitar anymore. He let Jerry Riggs do the heavy lifting, and Pat played rhythm and sweat his bag off in dive bars and outdoor venues. Pat’s riding around in a Winnebago and trying to keep the dream alive.
The guitar playing clown pretending he's in a hair band looks out of place and ridiculous. Hey , look at me, look at me! Ugh.
Vocals are awful.
