Pat Travers - Live @ The Diamond 1990
10 Snortin' Whiskey
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.

No matter how many times I here this tune it keeps getting better.
Yes my cosmic rocker
As an Amateur keyboardist I got to open for these guys back around 1990. He was amazing. Pat traverse also rocks the Hell out of keyboards. it was also the first and only time I got to play through a pro sound rig with pro sound people. It was the peak of my amateur band days :)
Damn...one of the most bad ass riffs ever written
The 'coolness' factor of this performance is off the Fk'n charts!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻
I'm a straight dude, but if I was a chick, Pat would be mine...no homo.
I agree
@@blaineedwards8078😂
PT is, of course, extremely out of control. Seen him live many times and he never fails to deliver. Anyone with even one good ear knows this is one of the awesomest(?!) hard rock tunes ever recorded in the history of life on our big blue marble. OUCH!
Fucking ageless riff man. As badass as it gets.
Might be THE awesomest ever!
Spectacular guitar work...tight band this PTBand. 🎸🎶😎
PTB's as REAL as it gets. Though I'm American-born; I pledge my allegiance 2 Canadian musicians (especially Pat Travers along w/Kim Mitchell & Ian Thomas).
Pat Travers is about as badass as you can get up there with that badass jacket he’s wearing and that badass band making him look even more badass.
One of the coolest rock songs ever 🇨🇦👍
Amazing sound for a live recording- I wish they all could be this quality.
I have this entire show on VHS bought at Tower Records ( RIP!) in San Jose in the 90s lol :)
Pat was bad ass with a three piece but with Pat Thrall , added a whole new dimension. Growing up I was hooked on him, only wish he got more popular but he's still rocking clubs. Check around. Let's Rock!
Great track. Pete Cowling was my idol an influence for taking up the bass. I was fortunate enough to meet him during a Pat Travers tour and actually took time to talk and laugh a bit.. What a great guy he was.
Mars Cowling, incredible bass player.
I’ve had the pleasure of talking to Pat Travers and his wife on Facebook! He told me the story of being in a hurricane! He said the day after his wife and him went out to check the damages when he heard the cries of kittens! They rescued them and raised them! I told him my love of cats and animals and of course his fantastic music! Anyway he wrote me back and thanked me for the info I shared. After that I Really appreciated the fact that he and his wife are truly down to earth and humbled me! Thanks Pat! With love Jan!
I love how at 2:36, Pat does one of his badass hammer-ons....just freaking epic!
I remember seeing this live. Opened for Blackmore back in 79. You don’t hear this much anymore.
Hell yeah!!! Did Both,!!!! Awesome Song!!!! Takes me back Great Era!!!! I'm 69 still Rock n Roll!!!!
Mars, your style, tone and stage presence are soooo missed. I absolutely love Mr. Pastorius work these days, but you are the guy that made 'Pat's music's feel' - even more than Nicko or Tommy imho. RIP and rock n' roll, sir.
ya man! right on....
Absolute insanity
Pat Travers was a staple on Cleveland radio in the late 70's. Great guitar player!
TOP 5 ALL-TIME!!!!!
Yes He Was Im From Youngstown Ohio. They Played The Crap out of this Song On My Local Radio Station !!
One of the best rock songs ever!
+soren1850 Amen bro.....definitely kicks all forms of ass. All rock songs should be this good....what a great fucking version of this.
His second guitarist..looks like
Yngwie, or is it just me??
My first concert
Saw Pat Travers at the Charlotte Coliseum in the 80s. Still have the ticket stub
@@stevewoan7834 - Was about to say i didn't know Yngwie played with Pat Travers band.
What a lineup... ROCKIN' !!
(1985) Watched a complete P. Travers set sitting down next to the stage, having drinks and food at the Coach House in So Calif. Never went to another GA (general admission, no assigned seat) concert again. Left that venue never being rocked like that since.
Jerry Riggs owning the strat, doesn't get much better!
Again, not Jerry Riggs. Pat Thrall.
Wrong, it's Jerry Riggs.
Dude destroying it is Riggs. Affirm
Yep he's Shredding that Strat
Another VASTLY UNDERR8D CANADIAN MUSICIAN!!!!! Imagine a jam session w/Ian Thomas, Kim Mitchell, Robbie Robertson, Myles Goodwyn, Rik Emmitt, & PAT TRAVERS!!!!! Now THAT'S a HOT DAMN (Canadian) Supergroup that NOBODY can touch!!!!!
Don't forget Frank Marino!
@@SuperStrik9 never! Frank's another guitar God.
Crank the Frank. :)
I could hear this song every day ❣️
The guitar playing of both is badass as hell! And the riff… one of the all times best!
what a time to be alive kinda miss it
I saw these guys this tour open for uncle ted at the Toledo sports arena whiplash bash. They opened with this song and it was burned into my brain.
One of the baddest songs in history!
Pat Travers was around long before Yngwie and has rocked way more crowd's! True rock'n'roll!
That is not Yngwie. He's dressed like him, but that is not Yngwie.
@@nycfunk yeah as I said Pat Travers was around long before Yngwie,so what part of t h at didn't you understand?
Matter of fact I never mentioned Yngwie,so don't have a clue what you rattling about.
@@georgew.spradlin8333 And why would you mention Yngwie? A bit off topic don't you think? Just be a man and stop fronting. You're not fooling anyone. Be honest. You thought that was Yngwie until you read other post.
@@nycfunk No not hardly someone else had said it was Yngwie and I replied to their comment,and if it is not there now you can stop trolling slapnut! Because someone else said that's whom it was.
SUPERB ¬!! SUPREB!! SUPERB!! One of the greatest rock songs EVER!!
When I listen to this song, so do the neighbors!
hEAVY ROCK AT ITS VERY BEST !!! Cannot be be bettered!👍👍👍👍👍
Met Pat in 86! Very underrated guitarist and performer! Saw him and his band several times! Always rocked!
Just saw a video with nuno bettencourt talking about this guy and this song. I’ve never heard of it until now. This is amazing stuff.
Doesn't get much more rock n roll than that!
THE NEIGHBORS LOVE THIS SONG …. BLAST HIS MUSIC ALL SUMMER LONG !
Reminds me of Johnny Winter.
Well done Pat Travers !!
Damn I miss these days. Saw Mr Travers in the early 1980's in Savannah. Awesome musician.
Love Pat. Saw on him in 1980 at Reading, saw him many years later in a small english pub in front of 50 or so, total professional, blew me away
I saw The Pat Travers Band with Pat Thrall this was in 1979. That particular lineup was great. They played my favorite song "Heat in the Street".
This was my time and loved it BIG TIME.....
stomping the holy crap out of everything and ripping the roof off the goddamn Popsicle stand
Excellent Version of this song doesn't get any better, lead Guitarist nails it so does rest of the band. Kick Ass Song
Yes; it DEFINITELY KICKS FUCKIN' ASS!!!!!
Best song ever
Jerry Riggs. The man, the hair, the clothes!! One year for my birthday, he let me play in his closet!! What cool shit he had! The rest are Scott Zymoski on drums, and my then (and always) love, Peter "Mars"Cowling.
@@jaclynrae4918 you can play in my closet too 🎸🍸😛
@klausschreyer7062
Before I actually met him and became friends, I'd always find a way to brush past him, as he always had the best texured clothes!
He had a white Jerry Seinfeld puffy shirt, that was pretty open. Out in Cali with Peter, they are playing, and a girl was right in front of him, and when he bent over, she reached up, and snatched a handful of hair, and ripped it out of his chest! My momma bear kicked in, and went after her. Peter is clueless to what happened, so he is confused as to my actions. I only got a few feet, and the tour manager, the late, great Danny Pochedley, stops me, and deadass asks me what I think I can do about it. Put it back in? Poor Jerry's chest is bleeding, and he's a whiter shade of pale. I wanted ice packs for him, and again, Danny asks how I think he could hold an ice pack, while playing! Those were some days I hope to never forget!
I hope Danny and Peter are lobster diving in their version of heaven.
U wanna talk about a KILLER JAM? This is it; the EPITOME of all ROCK SONGS.
metal/blues genre, I love it
with kind of a dash of that "funk/rock"
Pat rocking the very rare double cut Gibson Les Paul w/ tremolo bridge 😎
Thought it might be a Johnny A.
Loving the second hand Yngwie on lead guitar 🤣👍🏼
Pat Thrall a smokin' guitarist... but you're right he looks a little like Yngwie.
Jerry Riggs
@@johngreen1683 It's Jerry Riggs here in this video. He looks kind of funny but his playing in this line up on tour was awesome, I think, he's been almost stealing the show all time.
@@Robostomp Thank you. Yeah, he's a hell of a guitar player.
@Samí Warrior jesus...you guys are so informed. I love reading "rock" comments...
Nice guitar solo...got crazy for a minute there...
I met Pat with my band, my bass player set it up/promo guy, we had a roped off table up front, free drinks, and personal back stage with Pat Travers after the show. ROCKERS PHOENIX, AZ, on this tour. awesome
so sad that Pat doesn't gig much any more , for good reasons probably but e was a massive influence on my teenage years and i never had the privilege to see him live ... so sad !!
If I bang my head anymore, it's going to roll right off
well then,,,,,,,,we gots more
Pat always puts on a killer show!
That guitar player's taking fashion cues from Angry Momstain.
Jerry Riggs, Malmsteen and Eric Johnson all took that look from Hendrix.
1 of the best Pat Travers line ups, i was there that night and in the 1st row on video at times....love it! mars was so good! rip...dont know who the drummer was... but man... so good!
All I listened to back in the day .
I m surprised how I did not know this guy, massive massive stuff
Great Song....Brings back old school memories. Peace All From New Orleans!!
Loved the Diamond Club, great venue!
This Guy Still ROCKS !!!!! Cheers Pat Hope to See Ya this Time @ The RockPile!!!!
Absolutely one of the best rhythm sections in the business Mars and Tommy !!
Pat Travers is an absolute guitar God! So under rated. Always had amazing players with him. Saw him several times in Toronto back in the day, sure hope he gets up here again. 🔥🔥🔥
There are still great rock acts around today, but they don’t write tunes like this anymore.
met and saw him many times in the 80;s GOAT--so under rated.....
Pat Travers is so underlooked!! Hes easily one of the top 10 guitarist ever! And man he puts on a show!!!
No, not really. Top 10? Not even close!
Michael Moore nice to have video to see how good he actually was🌍💕💕💕
Saw pat travers years ago awesome guitarist
I was at this show, right in front of the stage. Saw Pat many times at the bars I used to frequent back in the day, when there was good live entertainment.Amazing guitar player, singer, and really good guy. Had the pleasure of meeting him several times, and still have one of his guitar picks!
Insanely talented band.
Wow I remember thiS!!!!!
Happy Birthday, Mr. Travers!!
Saw this show in Arlington Tx. Blew my freaking mind
SEEN YOU AT TOWSON U. 70'S ON FIRE!!!!
Love it
Lil old Chester around 1976, Pat Travers, Mars and ? come to town and play Makes No Difference. Changed my life - rock lover ever since.
Mars is seriously the Grand Poobah!
He was a BAD MAN!!!!! Haven't heard the bass part proper after he's passing.
Pat Travers, Leslie West, Pat Thrall, they just fuckin' rocks!!!
🤘🏼High school tunes! Limestone Rockets!

Ian Thomas + Pat Travers = THE BEST FUCKIN' ENTERTAINERS EVER!!!!! Their Canadian heritage only enhances that.
Pt always delivered the goods awesome live
HAPPY 69TH TODAY - PAT TRAVERS.
One of Bettencourts favorites & inspirations.
Pat thrall no 2 guitar players I've ever seen
Killer tune!!!!!!
Another innovative artist.
It sounds like it should be windy on that stage. What a huge sound, Drummer has so much punch.
People consistently underestimate how many great Canadian artists there are and not just Pat. Phillip Sayce is Canadian as is Colin James; and there are many others.
Badass performance :D
Those massive leads on a single coil Strat.
This is just killer! Wow.
love this song it freaken rocks
And that drummer is astonishing.
God bless you Steve Kowalski.. Never forget your bro
SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY … THEY GOT HIM A BIRTHDAY CAKE IN THE SHAPE OF A GUITAR … FOR HIS 24 TH ! IT WAS IN ROSLYN, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK AT "MY FATHERS PLACE " I WAS THERE THE CAKE AND THE MUSIC ROCKED !
Raw Rock to the bone
GREAT SONG!
Where is Scott Zymowski now? Love his drumming on this tune!
Woah ! That was great! The little riff at 3:00 got my attention , that was cool
Tight !!
Saw him and yes it was this good!
Steve Kowalski.. Rest in peace my brother.. This is for you..
