Pat was just 22 when he performed this. Think of the skill and genius required to produce that, and at 22. Listen to the tone he's getting out of that guitar: it's filling up the entire sonic space. Believe me I am an old guitarist and he is dominating with that tone, no question.
The first time I was introduced to Pat Traver's music was about '79. I was only 12 or 13 years old and thought his tone and playing was great. A few years into my hard rock experience and I knew he was ahead of is time. I saw him on the Crash and Burn tour. Pat Travers on vocals and guitar, Pat Thrall on guitar, Peter "Mars" Cowling, on bass, and Tommy Aldridge on drums. Incredible band. In my top five musicians.
Pat Travers treated all his fans like crap. He literally spit in my friends face just for asking Pat to autograph his making magic lp. My buddy actually became the drummer for PT. In his revenge he slept with pats women. Lol
I love blowing guitar player's minds who are Nuno Betancourt fans that have never heard of pat. This is one of his biggest influences, and you can see how he built on it.
@@drjay73 it really is a shame. Look at Johnny Winter. He was a world class blues player but in my mind he can never compare him to Eddie Van Halen. Now he was a guitar player and my other Guitar Hero besides Angus Young. All 3 separate different styles. Eddie was the most innovative. Tapping was previously done before Eddie came along but no one could tap like Eddie, NO one.
@@carlosgaspar8447 nah! There’s better song writers then the Ted! I agree that he is talented but no comparison with his playing compared to EVH’s world class virtuoso skills. You will never hear another player in yours and mines lifetime that even comes close.
I agree both great drummers though. I think Nicki is more of a technician. Aldridge was brilliant on the live album but in my opinion he never was the same drummer after that not even with Ozzy or Whitesnake. I would prefer Sandy Genero from the radio active tour.
There you go, that's how it's DONE! Thanks Pat that was a Straight ROCK Kick to the Nut Sack....... Nicko and Pete are KILLERS, Thank you for Posting this Beauty, Brings back some WONDERFUL Memories.......🎸💚
Hell yeah. P.T. laying down some tasty riffs. This is the first song i heard by Pat Travers. Ive be "Hooked" on his music ever since. I actually met him 17ish years ago. He was totally down to Earth. No "big shot" airs about him. Which deepened my respect for him even further.
@@juanachares1123 what’s your reasoning and where is he off? Is it the syncopated rhythm he is jelling with or is it the ghost 1/4, 1/8 notes that are boggling your mind?
The grand formation of this band happened shortly after this formation. Tommy Aldridge on drums, Pat Thrall guitar, Mars Cowling bass and Pat Travers as himself. Live album, Go for what you know, one of the top 5 greatest live recordings in rock history. 1. UfO strangers in the night 2. Pat Travers gofor what you know 3. Led Zep live album can't recall the name.... the movie one 4. Judas priest unleashed in the east 5. Alway up for debate 4.
First concert go for what you know album. I think it was '79. BOC cheap trick and of course Pat. I was hooked. Seen him countless times. It's a workout when you see Pat live.
Later on in the late 1970's, there were Mars Cowling on bass guitar, Tommy Aldredge on drums, and Pat Thrall on guitar. Great lineup for Pat Travers as well.
loookout! Going where the light shines bright You know that's where I'm bound I'm not gonna give up the fight Until the spotlight's found The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow -Oooooh You know I'll do it any where I'll Rock in any town Just as long as I can feel That I'm getting down I'm getting down I'm turning around and I'm- Ohhh I'm hooked on music Hooked on music Hooked on music Hooked on rock and roll -Lookout! Hooked on music Hooked on Loving You Hooked... You know when someone feels like me There's not much they can do But now that I've found You Girl You know I'm not so blue I'm not so blue 'cause I Love ya! 'cause I need You! 'cause I Love ya Honey! 'cause I need You and I'm_ Hooked on music Hooked on music Hooked on music -Yeah Hooked on music Yeah yeah Yeah yeah
Soon as I heard this I thought wasnt this one of the tracks used as background music by Tommy Vance on The Friday Rock Show? Cant find any ref to that, anyone else remember it?
Right on. My favorite guitarist is Trower. Then Ronnie Montrose. PT, is in my top 5. PT, takes me back to my youth. Never tired of listening to his awesome work.
One of the greatest under dog rocker's in the world
Agreed! Underrated and a very unique sound. Always recognizable.
Right on
Absolutely no doubt about it.
He's so underrated it's criminal. Pat has been kicking ass for decades!
Only to the dummies. Not underrated if you're a fan.

I saw him a month ago. He did that Sugarloaf number, Green Eyed Lady, and it was fantastic. He still is a tone master, just can't sing as loud.
I saw this song Approximately in 2004, and i was on Shock. Front row. ❤😂 One of my fav of all times.

@@TRUTH4U2NO What are you leaving out? That's a convenient story. Keep your resentment to yourself.
Pat, Niko McBrain & Peter "Mars" Cowling on bass. Great trio !
They were a super group and nobody will ever convince me otherwise
Mars Cowling is absolutely solid (perfect for a three piece band. Great tone too--Fender Precision Bass with flatwound strings.
@@Cap683 I Absolutely agree !!!
Pat Travers!! A lot of people missed out on this legend.
saw him 3 days ago, talked with him about old days, got his autograph, what a guy.
Back when Rock & Roll was ROCK & FUCKIN' ROLL
Pat was always under rated
One of my favorite songs on my favorite Pat Travers album "Makin Magic" That's exactly what he does when he's performing on stage
This was my Second concert, was 16...and was completely blown away! Nico McBrain on drums, now famously with Iron Maiden!
I love blowing guitar player's minds who are Nuno Betancourt fans that have never heard of pat. This is one of his biggest influences, and you can see how he built on it.
I saw Pat back in the day what a great guitar player
Yes Nicko & Mars...these guys just kicked ass...period.
Pat at his Absolute BEST !
Love Pat’s guitar playing. He reminds me of Johnny Winter, his vocals and playing style.!🇨🇦❤️
You are so right! I hear alot of Johnny in his playing - both vocals and playing. Pat is so underrated it's a damn shame
@@drjay73 it really is a shame. Look at Johnny Winter. He was a world class blues player but in my mind he can never compare him to Eddie Van Halen.

could maybe use a songwriting partner like say ted nugent of his era...
@@carlosgaspar8447 nah! There’s better song writers then the Ted! I agree that he is talented but no comparison with his playing compared to EVH’s world class virtuoso skills. You will never hear another player in yours and mines lifetime that even comes close.
only 40 thousand views in 8 years for this classic song.. what a shame
Opener of one of the best if not THE best live rock albums of all time - Go For What You Know - so good.
Saw him four times never disappointed
Awesome song! Remember having both Makin’ Magic and Putting It Straight. Great albums…
Myself some the best rock and roll of the 70s saw many times in Texas DFW Love his boogie woogie rock and Roll music very under rated for sure !!!!
Very lucky to have been raised on this magic.
Yeah man true rocker for sure first time seeing him it was in 76 open up for Rush my first concert ever see them three times total
Amazing Pat,, what a great rhythm , voice and talent .... love it !
What Aldridge did to these Travers songs changed my life.
I agree both great drummers though. I think Nicki is more of a technician. Aldridge was brilliant on the live album but in my opinion he never was the same drummer after that not even with Ozzy or Whitesnake. I would prefer Sandy Genero from the radio active tour.
When I think of original Rock & Roll Pat always comes to mind!😃😎
There you go, that's how it's DONE!
Thanks Pat that was a Straight ROCK Kick to the Nut Sack.......
Nicko and Pete are KILLERS,
Thank you for Posting this Beauty,
Brings back some WONDERFUL Memories.......🎸💚
I got to see Travers live at a small club outside Chicago, and he was excellent! A very under rated guitarist.
I don't know how I did not know this guy and his band, phenomenal
So much talent on one stage, love this!
Man that is some damn good rock and roll!!!!!
Hell yeah. P.T. laying down some tasty riffs. This is the first song i heard by Pat Travers. Ive be "Hooked" on his music ever since. I actually met him 17ish years ago. He was totally down to Earth. No "big shot" airs about him. Which deepened my respect for him even further.
O my - this is a very cool slice of PT - one of my all time favs.....super under rated trio. - holy shit
Haven't rocked old pat in years....just like I remembered ...... Thanks. Last time I saw you was a little bar in new port
That’s Nicko Mcbrain on drums!
on coke*
And who wasn't.
Quite a difference between Pat Travers and Iron Maiden, but it just goes to show what a solid drummer Nicko was and still is.
Yeah I was like! That's nikko!!
@@juanachares1123 what’s your reasoning and where is he off? Is it the syncopated rhythm he is jelling with or is it the ghost 1/4, 1/8 notes that are boggling your mind?
I think this is the line-up of the Pat Travers band I saw at Stafford Top of the World Ballroom around that time. A lifetime ago.
This is a pearl where is that time gone ?
Sound quality on this video is Fantastic! Kudos!😉😎
Sounds so fluid, play this in my head all day
I had his on 8 track. Live! Go For What You Know!
Writing the #2 comment's an honor, but it'd never rock like THIS jammin' song can!
Great band. Pete Cowling was a fabulous bass player, and Nico should never sounded this good with Maiden, he has a gift for playing funky stuff..
The grand formation of this band happened shortly after this formation. Tommy Aldridge on drums, Pat Thrall guitar, Mars Cowling bass and Pat Travers as himself. Live album, Go for what you know, one of the top 5 greatest live recordings in rock history.
1. UfO strangers in the night
2. Pat Travers gofor what you know
3. Led Zep live album can't recall the name.... the movie one
4. Judas priest unleashed in the east
5. Alway up for debate
4.
Yes he does. Another good example is "Off Beat Ride" from the "Putting It Straight" album. Waaaay funky Nicko.
@@youropionmattersnot the song remains the same...zepp album. had the chance to talk to Mars a few times...just awesome.
First concert go for what you know album. I think it was '79. BOC cheap trick and of course Pat. I was hooked. Seen him countless times. It's a workout when you see Pat live.
Killer 3 piece!
R. I.P. Bassist Peter "Mars" Cowling
Rip, sad to hear that. Underrated bass player/musician
Yes, a great bassist and a good friend
Later on in the late 1970's, there were Mars Cowling on bass guitar, Tommy Aldredge on drums, and Pat Thrall on guitar. Great lineup for Pat Travers as well.
THAT right there is classic. PT found the hook and knows it.
Awesome band.
Saw him open for Aerosmith twice early eighties, three times in bars mid eighties. Awesome show, especially in small clubs.
Crazy to see Nicko playing this old funky style of rock, and how he’d be in Iron Maiden a few years later.
I wish I would have
been there 🔥🔥🔥
Pat can kill that blues it’s badass! I wonder how many Maiden fans know Nicko playing drums 🤘thanks for posting 🤘
The energy, intensity and overall impact is spellbindingly authentic. I love the three-piece lineup; there is no diminishment of quality. None.
so gd amazing.
niiickoooo
with a normal kit. Amazing
That's tight!!
Best trio I've ever heard.
Outstanding!
Great video, thanks
The best rhythm section ever.
Wow. Never saw this before. Just cookin'. There is a lot of Edgar Winter Band in that song.
Amazing for someone so young.
So under rated
Love pat, saw him in sussex, got cardboard guitar 1976 I think.
Great band
Yep. They dont make em like this no more.
loookout!
Going where
the light shines bright
You know
that's where I'm bound
I'm not gonna give up
the fight
Until the spotlight's
found
The pot of gold
at the end of the rainbow
-Oooooh
You know
I'll do it any where
I'll Rock
in any town
Just as long
as I can feel
That I'm
getting down
I'm getting down
I'm turning around
and I'm-
Ohhh
I'm hooked on music
Hooked on music
Hooked on music
Hooked on rock and roll
-Lookout!
Hooked on music
Hooked on Loving You
Hooked...
You know
when someone
feels like me
There's not much
they can do
But now that
I've found You Girl
You know I'm not
so blue
I'm not so blue
'cause I Love ya!
'cause I need You!
'cause I Love ya Honey!
'cause I need You
and I'm_
Hooked on music
Hooked on music
Hooked on music
-Yeah
Hooked on music

Thank you for the lyrics to this great song
Great singer
Yes indeed! Nicko!!
Industrial Strength Funk...
Ala Tommy Bolin
Solid!!!
Great song.
Nicko!!!
My guitar god
Pretty funky.
Yea Nicko
I love that shit!!!
Superb funk rock!!😅
Pat can make that tele screm
Oh nicko,, hell yeah
Nico!🤘
Main reason I went out and got a marshall sl 100 and my gibson les paul
But that's a tele deluxe.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
very tight band
Saw pat at the Manchester apollo brilliant gig
Soon as I heard this I thought wasnt this one of the tracks used as background music by Tommy Vance on The Friday Rock Show? Cant find any ref to that, anyone else remember it?
Nikko!
THE FUGGIN BEST
Took me years
to know Nico iron maiden played drums for awhile
If that's not playing and performing . . . then, I don't know what is!
Wow Niko McBrain I never knew.....
Iron Maiden on the drums, Mercyful Fate on the guitars, great funk music😂
Nico Mcbrain on drums
Jolie votre son a la guitare jolie arpège avers les 5minute
Ill tell you who is gettin down thats Nicko McBrain way before Iron Maiden
these MF's knew how to play their instruments
I love his sound, is he using a phaser or flanger or univibe?
Sinceramente tô conhecendo agora...ma o cara é bão mesmo...tipo Rory Gallagher
Como suenan los tres
Most likely to succeed. This was probably around the time Pat Thrall, along with 80 other would be hendrix's lined up for travers try outs.
to bad mars cowling is no longer with us.
Strat woulda been better than A tele. Imo.
PT is still cool tho.
his other guitars got stolen. A les Paul for one.
@Kevin James
Just how Jake E Lee used to do on his Charvel strat.
Looks like a tele deluxe; those are very cool, though.
I liked his old melody maker best.
Pat Travers, Tony Iommi and Robin Trower the best guitarists
Right on. My favorite guitarist is Trower. Then Ronnie Montrose. PT, is in my top 5. PT, takes me back to my youth. Never tired of listening to his awesome work.
