saw him 3 days ago, talked with him about old days, got his autograph, what a guy.

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.

This was my Second concert, was 16...and was completely blown away! Nico McBrain on drums, now famously with Iron Maiden!

Yes Nicko & Mars...these guys just kicked ass...period.

When I think of original Rock & Roll Pat always comes to mind!😃😎

Amazing Pat,, what a great rhythm , voice and talent .... love it !

Pat at his Absolute BEST !

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 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.

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

Opener of one of the best if not THE best live rock albums of all time - Go For What You Know - so good.

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

Awesome song! Remember having both Makin’ Magic and Putting It Straight. Great albums…

@@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.

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.

Sounds so fluid, play this in my head all day

Sound quality on this video is Fantastic! Kudos!😉😎

Writing the #2 comment's an honor, but it'd never rock like THIS jammin' song can!

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.

Crazy to see Nicko playing this old funky style of rock, and how he’d be in Iron Maiden a few years later.

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.

Outstanding!

That's tight!!

Best trio I've ever heard.

Saw him open for Aerosmith twice early eighties, three times in bars mid eighties. Awesome show, especially in small clubs.

I wish I would have been there 🔥🔥🔥

Nicko!!!

niiickoooo with a normal kit. Amazing

Great band

The best rhythm section ever.

Amazing for someone so young.

Great video, thanks

Yes indeed! Nicko!!

Yep. They dont make em like this no more.

Wow Niko McBrain I never knew.....

Ill tell you who is gettin down thats Nicko McBrain way before Iron Maiden

Jolie votre son a la guitare jolie arpège avers les 5minute

I love his sound, is he using a phaser or flanger or univibe?

these MF's knew how to play their instruments

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.

If that's not playing and performing . . . then, I don't know what is!

Iron Maiden on the drums, Mercyful Fate on the guitars, great funk music😂
