LOVE IT!!! Real live video, not a crappy overdub!

Aldridge still one of the best live drummers ever-ever-ever

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 !!!!

Travers, Aldridge, Mars, Thrall... Insane lineup.

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.

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.🎶

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

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.

2 Guitar Juggernauts P.T. Pat Thrall ,Mars Cowling and Tommy Aldridge Man O Man

Thrill is amazing....

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!😊

Saw them headline at the Sporthole in Hollywood FL this tour....awesome.

Pat Thrall, you're one of the best!

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!

FINALLY!

One of my favorite live albums with this lineup

Classic, Travers and Thrall rip!!!!

All star band, such great musicians.

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!

Best band of their generation

Incredible! I have waited over 40+ years to see that! What a line-up!

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🤘🏻

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 KZread 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 kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6yZyLGwpJjFZJM.html

Rock On!!!

Thank you so much Pat.

Seen this at the Thirsty Whale a small bar outside Chicago somewhere in the 80’s

WOW!

HOT!

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.

Where the heck did you get that idea? It was Traver's band and his decision to share duties with someone he hired..... jeeeeez.

Jaysus!!

I saw the band live just that year, Reading Festival, UK

Geez just like a flight of F/A-18 Super Hornets ripping your face off! You almost need to duck and cover with Pat Travers Band!😊

Didn't realize this was you Pat till just now. So much love for this work, truly among the most badass live sets ever laid down, for the ages. Still inspired by it after all these years, much respect man

The only really good track that he recorded. Such a shame about some of the shoddy guitar work at the start.
