- Here's a gem for you PT fans. September 29th 1977, London. The video is not great, it's OK though, but I haven't seen another source for this broadcast. Audio is inferior to start from video source then synched from my own analogue cassette recording of the radio broadcast from 4mins in, so is fine from that point. The other half of the show was the legendary Lone Star, I uploaded that too..
Peter “Mars” Cowling mostly never mentioned, what a great bass player he was, and just like King’s X the Pat Travers band in my opinion was seriously underestimated……..
Highly underrated but musicians knew. They toured with Rush and Rush loved them. Go for what you know is a phenomenal live album. I’m assuming this is Nicko on drums. Probably right before he joined Maiden.
Mars was awesome and gets no love. One of my favorite bass players. So good.
I love covering his bass lines. Please listen to Hammerhead by Pat Travers.
Agreed!!! They were and still are bad ass and were definitely underestimated.
Not Nicko here I can't remember this guy's name @roscoepcoltrane23
Pat didn't copy anybody. He created his own style.
Pat Travers plays just like Pat Travers 💯% no preservatives no additives straight up rock and roll !!!!!!!!!
In their day, Pat Travers and Pat Thrall were THE guitar duo. They were explosive.
They were excellent together but that isnt Pat Thrall
Mr. Thrall Totally Criminally Underrated ⚡🔥🎸
I bought "Makin Magic" at Tower Records when I was 14 in 1978. After that I got "Puttin' it Straight".When the live record came out a year later it was over the top w/Thrall and Aldridge. What a great time and space and an amazing musical influence on me.
PT is the, THE hardest working man in Rock & Roll... Name me someone else who's STILL touring at the pace Pat has (or is, sans Covid19) and will be in the last 30 years... Dude never stops... Hail to the Road Warrior... Pat Travers...
Seen him open for Rainbow in 1981. Blew Ritchie off the stage imho.
Randy Hansen
Totally agree. He even did a live stream during Covid on Veeps. I have a screen recording right on my phone, I will try to put it up one day soon.
Saw him in concert at the Roxy on the sunset strip kicked ass @@Sonoma_Coast
LOVED the "Putting it Straight" album... some incredible musical moments on that record.
I love that album too
Absolutely, Travers every bit the equal of Gary Moore in sheer liquid skill.
RUNNIN' FROM THE FUTURE! OFF BEAT RIDE!
Go for What you Know - still one of the best if not THE best live rock albums ever.
They used to tour with Rush. What a show that would be.
Yes Go For What You Know is phenomenal, I still have it on heavy rotation, Mars, is the sickest bass player, and he's virtually unknown
Top ten. With The Who, Ramones, BÖC, Thin Lizzy(live?), I don't remember my top five when I was young but I had one. Mosttly seventies stuff
Oops the Rush first LIve. Awesome
@@roscoepcoltrane23I saw them open 4 B.O.C. at u.c.l.a. Pauly pavilion kicked ass
For me, a young drummer in the 70's, after Don Brewer, John Bonham, Neil Peart, Tommy Aldridge was the next portal for me to try to step through. That lineup was ridiculous, Travers, Thrall, Cowling, Aldridge. THE LINEUP for PT.
Think Nicko is playing drums in this concert. Pat Travers always picks very powerful drummers for his band! Those 70's performances are killer to watch! Lots of talent!
Yes!!! Hot 🔥
@@spasevrp It's Clive Edwards.
@@monsieurlehigh4912 Yep
What a bassist 😋
RIP, the legendary Peter "Mars" Cowling.
Right on! Rock on!
The word "underrated" is all over RUclips....and most people don't know what they are on about. But here is a fine example.
he could sing, rock out and those funky breaks! Nothing like this now
MAKING MAGIC & HEAT IN THE STREET are classic Travers!
What a precious treasure this is! Grew up on all those amazing PTB records. What a band.
Not to mention his drummer Nikko is the drummer for Iron Maiden since 82
How about this hey,,,high school days,,,wow...heat in the street,,,.here,we get to see how it all ways,,,,finally got to see him,moved to Denver,,and he opened for Areosmith!..and was better!!!!..at the end of the last song,he threw that double-digit way up,and caught it!!😯😯so cool.,,,peace,whoever you are,,land o' lakes,wi.
P.s,,,stupid computer,,,cut!(gibson!)
@@tompatrick5542 That’s not Nikko,it’s Clive Edwards
I so miss Mars. No knock on David Pastorius, he's an amazing ass player in his own right, but Mars was the first rock bass player to make me take notice of the instrument. RIP.
David Pastors plays with Pat Travers now???
For those still wondering; the second, curly, guitarist is the late Mick Dyche (and not Pat Thrall). Mick played with Sniff 'n' The Tears (remember Drviver's Seat....that's his lick) and Wild Turkey (sort offshoot from Jethro Tull). He briefly filled in during the UK leg of the tour.
Tnx, I new it wasn't Thrall and Aldridge, but didn't know who they were. Hired guns for Europe (BBC) tour,?
@@jimmitchell9841 Pat spent most of his time in the UK in these early years and before Pat Thrall and Tommy Aldridge joined he went out on the road enlisting Mick Dyche and Clive Ewards (drums). Late 1977/early 1978 Aldridge and Thrall were part of the band that recorded 'Heat In The Street', 'Live..Go For What You Know' and 'Crash And Burn'
You are correct sir.
Thanks sir.
@@journstyx right' Nicko was gone already
Pat is so talented. just the coolest guy. He really jams out. I’m so glad he does. I love 💗 him. He fkyn rocks. !!!!!
TURN IT UP LOUD !!!
🤘🏼💀🤘🏼 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
You got it! Never gets old!
Oh hell yes!!! I love it when gems show up like this! Still diggin' Travers after all these years. I really like all the covers that show up on youtube...he's keepin' it going.
For a Canadian lad, Pat sure has some seriously funky grooves in his playing. Love it!
Gettin betta was the first Travers song I heard.By '79 my buddies and I were cruising around in my bad-ass '79 camaro just "speeding" down the highway
Bad decisions, good times
That was my first gig with band... a lot to remember :)
awesome!
first gig? with who?
Pat Travers who do you think !!!
Awesome job Clive, you killed it, did you play a lot of shows with PTB?
That's not Pat Thrall is it? Doesn't look like him at all! hmmmm
Pat, Is one of my favorite guitar players ever.. and he’s also a good dude.. he lives in central Florida here and I see him from time to time in the grocery store always says hello. Very nice.
Go For What You Know is one of the best live albums ive ever heard. With complex changes, funky breaks, catchy melodies, top notch musicianship, high energy, and amazing, kick ass,, creative solos that take you on a journey. You dont.feel like.youre listening to progressive rock because all those tight changes blend togethwr so effortlessly
thanks for posting,,,great stuff and so underrated...Mars is killing it on Bass...
Awesome bassist!!! RIP Mars
Mars was a beast in this performance!
In reality pat travers is an icon
Mars is just killing it in "Gettin Betta."
👍👍
Why TF did the Pat Travers Band not get the recognition they so thoroughly deserved?
Commercial appeal at the time. They were all playing 2nd fiddle to bands like Van Halen, Led Zepplin, Yngwie MalmSteen, Ozzy, Rush, etc. Also Rap and Pop music were on the rise and thats were the money was.
I think PT kinda self destructed. He was pretty obnoxious & I guess people didn't want to help him when times got tough
Winston Texas yup, being an asshole is a sure way to alienate yourself from people who can help you most.
Pat was very popular in the late 70's, at least in the South East where I lived. No problem filling seats live.
@@tjnugent62 He sure had no trouble filling all the seats at the small football stadium at my high school in Plattsburgh NY Most of the acts that came to town were from Canada, Montreal mainly, which is only an hour away and whose radio stations we listened to since local ones sucked. We didn't get the big-time Canuck bands like Rush (God forbids!), Neil Young or BTO so we made do with Pat Travers (a favorite) Frank Marino, Gino Vanelli (for the chicks), and so on. But proximity to a big city like Montreal had its perks: they had the major British/Irish/US/Canuck bands playing at the Forum or sometimes even the 65,000-seat "Big O" as the Olympic Stadium was known as. I remember the summer of 1977 Pink Floyd and ELP played there. I couldn't attend (sold out) but went there often for major league baseball. Rooted for the Expos (NLB-East) like everyone else in that part of the country. Good times those were.
My neighbors have listened to Pat Travers for years ;-) #BluesRock #OldBluesGuy
This is awesome. Seen The Pat Travers Band in the 70's, 80's, 90's and early 2000's. Always put on a great show and the crowds were always smilin no fighting and stuff. And yes Mars Cowling is smokin on the Bass. Thanks for the show. Now time to check out some Rush!
Saw Pat Travers back in the seventies Aragon ballroom Chicago Illinois , keep on keepin on Pat !!! 💯% 💘💘💘💘💘👍
Rest in peace Peter 😞
Outstanding!!!! Pat Travers & the band are one of the great underrated musicians of rock !
Seen Pat Travers at Massey Hall in grade 9. My buddy picked up tix, what a phenomenal show... We had the best years of music...
How has this been up here for 4 years!!!! Nice one, rip Mars Cowling.
PT + PT = Amazing!
Pat's voice is stronger 37 years latter.
This was a year B4 my first PTB Show.
Thanks for Posting!
His voice is now HORRIBLE.
Definitely one of my largest, underrated, Bassist to become friends with while touring together during my tenure playing Bass for Molly Hatchet. And what a perfect tone to fit his attack. R.I.P Mars
I saw PT several times and he's humble enough to feature his second, in this case being Pat Thrall. I can't see who's keeping time but it was TOMMY FN ALDRIDGE when I saw them.
Mars Cowling - most underrated bassist ever!
Incroyable le travail du bassiste! Excellent...
2 super guitaristes avec de riches harmonies.
Malheureusement, une époque vient de passer ou les gens s'obstinent à croire que plus on est moderne et plus on est supérieur! C'est faux.
Actually if you look closely he's got the same shirt on as the Puttin' It Straight album cover, same Marshalls and everything I loved and stared at that cover as kid lol!
Yea, but does he have the green boots?!..I wonder if he still has them.
I’ve got that cover framed! So funny. Pat blew that record exects Office up with an lp junior, a plexi and a cry baby. Even wilted the old farts daffodils! Now I’m the old fart, but I still play and still try to kick ass, but pat turned my ear around to putting in the non trad chords for rock
its a modded melodymaker not a junior. the headstock is clearly the slim mm
Definitely a Melody Maker
Wishbone necklace.
The correct recording date is July 29th, 1977 at the Queens Mary College. 3 songs of this show are included in the Pat Travers Band CD 'BBC Radio 1 Live In Concert' (Windsong 1992)
Nigel. You 'da man. Pat's a true professional. Have seen and spoken with him many times throughout the years. Even helped him sell shirts and cd's at the door one night after the show.
Everybody saying he was a real pain-in-the-ass, did you find that to be true?
@@Drivehead103 I was never around him back in the 70's although I was big into his music because the Go For What You Know tour was my first concert in '78 with PT, Cheap Trick and BOC. I didn't get up close and personal until the 90's and 2000's. we would follow his tour dates and attend venues that were close by. He was always cool and friendly and I always sat upfront. I would wear the same thing to every show; a Pat Travers t-shirt that said Real Rock for Real People that I got at one of his early shows.. LOL. Who knows. Sometimes the venues they play at are not as accommodating as the act would like them to be and it sours everyone and they just want to do their show and get the flock outta there.. So maybe that influenced people's perception. Ppl go thru all kinds of stuff. Maybe he WAS a jerk back in the day. I know I was. LOL. For me, have seen them live, PT, Ronnie Montrose and Joe Satriani are three of the baddest dudes who ever picked up a guitar.
I have a 65 Melody Maker exactly like that.....love the neck....I had one back in the day also....Great clip guys..Thanks
Ha ME TOO.. Still have it because if him! (But mine's a 1966)
Always thought PT played a '59 Melody Maker. At any rate, I've been a huge fan since Putting it Straight...
Right before "Puttin' It Straight" killer record my fave!
This was just after Puttin It Straight was released. Niko left and a 2nd guitarist was added. Evidently Niko left just after the album was finished. It was released in '77. This line up didn't last long. Tommy joined shortly after and Thrall in '78,just in time for Heat In The Street.
+Tunesketcher This was definitely after the Puttin it straight album.
The new song he introduced,off the new album,is off PIS. This lineup was after Niko left and Tommy joined.
PIS was released in early. '78.
Ya my bad..I thought the video I initially posted this comment on was the Hooked on Music vid from '76..for sure you're correct.
The Pat Travers band was the greatest at technical rock. Travers/Thrall were the best guitar duo on the planet. "Go For What You Know" will go down in history as the best live album ever recorded. If you've never heard it you've grown up under a rock. "Their here to kick your ass"!!!!!!!!
wow at the 4min mark the sound gets perfect.. Sweet synch nigel!
Good job with the audio, the jump from rotten to fine kinda stunned me.
Go For What You Know is my favourite Pat Travers Album!
One of my favorites! The mighty Pat Travers!
Mars cowling doesn’t get enough credit as a bass player… he should be in the top 10 ever
Right On! Right On! Thanks for posting. Pat Rocks
back then you were stepping on a lot of pedals and killing the vocal at the same times to get that sound , wonderful ans amzazing
Pat Travers ,a.k.a. El Shred-Master and obviously a forerunner mastering that shred technique!
Best drinkin music ever heard...
YES My day is GETTIN' BETTA' now that I ran across this concert footage - PAT TRAVERS BAND were funk rock monstas extraordinaire ! Make me wanna put on me funkenstein boots & stomp a hole or 2 thru the flo' (**)
Peter Mars Cowling was the shit !!
Seen him play with PT many times, he was simply AMAZING, so UNDERRATED!!
Bass Player magazine finally recognized him an "Unsung Hero" back in the early nineties. Still my fav!
Danny Fowler Mars was an animal! Bass players were in awe of his skill back the 70's. He was a phenomenal player more younger musicians should know about.
Yes! Mars is IT...he still inspires my playing to this day. "Putting It Straight" is one of the best LPs of the 70's, showcasing a superior power trio!
One of the best EVER !!
Pat is endless..hes in his 70's ...stilljamming and looks 30.
Drawn back here again. I may not be representative of everyone but I just want to say...I've seen the Who, VH, ACDC, all of them, multiple times. The only one who just plain wore me out and I left feeling like I had been assaulted was PT. So yes, "Now here to kick your ass"..no doubt!. I was hooked in '78 just like the song on go for what you know.
PT on top... as usual!
I'll thumbs up all the positives, P.T. ROCKS
best album ever was the live album with Tommy & the OTHER Pat
best live recording ever....yes
Superb. Thanks for posting.
4 decades seen him in every one keep GETTIN BETTA keep KICKING OUR ASS !
Lucky to see Pat 3 times
Mars Cowling is still difficult to emulate to this day. his bass playing is next level
PT is my ride back to south florida summer of 77.
thanks for the upload
Starting at 24:00 Mars Cowling teaches a PhD course in funk bass. :-D
A true clinic in bass by IMFO The king of bass guitar. RIP Mars
A gem indeed..
Thanks for this
Always cool jams with a boogie Woogie feel, long live PT
Still got this I recorded on cassette with lonestar supporting. 👍
Is that Pat Thrall on the other geet there yet? I know he was with him late 70's then Tommy Aldridge for a few albums on drums as well with Mars on Bass. Fantastic and magical chemicals at work with that line up. This is cool to see this just at that point when he was now using his Melody Maker instead of the Tele [big difference in sound]. Must be right around the "Putting them Straight" album. Those were the days. Life in London & Off Beat Ride :-)
Thanks for posting! Great stuff
Awesome in your face Rock and Roll, 😁
2 badass guitarists!
Crackin' show. PTB rocking the BBC.
Tight... Rock... Original
You did great, Nigel! Thanks so much for uploading this piece of rock history.
Thank you
It sounds something like a Spinal Tap tune...
Rock On!!!
Cool!
Great band 👍🇨🇦
Making magic a great rock n roller
Is Mars a god or an alien
Are they mutually exclusive?!
Women are from Mars..
No if you believe Steve Vai or Hendrix came from outer space, Some people do.
both + bassbeastbaboon swingin from a string Damn ! Makin' it sting wit dat SONIC SWOOP (**0
rip mars
The Bamboo room gig is awesome with Kirk Mckim . No Nicko or the redhead monster, just Sandy Gennaro the working man. And a surprise in the end
Resurrect the old thread. PT was and is skilled in the use of fx pedal, the MXR Blue Box was used so tastefully back in the day.
Anyone know what brand of bass mars was playing??
What a Bassist, wow!!!
jeez only 41 years ago, dont blink folks!!
Clive Edwards の叩く"Makin' Magic”は最高!!!!!!!!
right he is the drummer. I knew it wasn't Tommy Aldridge.
Tommy is a beast.
Remember. They always got there to kick your ass!
Clive Edwards using Nicko`s drums...
12:20 Gettin' Better
But, this is great!
Great shit
MAAAAAAAARS BABY!!!!!!
Clive Edwards (not Aldridge) on drums and Mick Dyche (not Thrall) on guitar
Clive Edwards went on to join Electric Sun.
and UFO
and after this the coolest of cool Heat in the Street
Snortin' Whiskey was a single that gave me interest in the band. Whilst they could be great, sadly they were a little too inconsistent to be major players.
What's an example of their being "inconsistent"?
@@MaterLacrymarum No doubt about it pat travers and crew were great, another in a long list of amazing Canadian blues rock/hard rock/arena rock talent who never made it "big". Consistently solid tracks.
Does anybody know if the other guitarist is Mick Dyche? I know it's not Pat Thrall.
The date of this show would suggest it is Mick Dyche, although I have no idea what he looked like!
The cameraman doesn't like him, that's for sure.
Frank Erickson
He even ignored his solos! Haha
