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.

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 :)
Amazing sound for a live recording- I wish they all could be this quality.

Damn...one of the most bad ass riffs ever written
One of the coolest rock songs ever 🇨🇦👍
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!
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!

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.
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.

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 could hear this song every day ❣️ The guitar playing of both is badass as hell! And the riff… one of the all times best!
Hell yeah!!! Did Both,!!!! Awesome Song!!!! Takes me back Great Era!!!! I'm 69 still Rock n Roll!!!!
Met Pat in 86! Very underrated guitarist and performer! Saw him and his band several times! Always rocked!
(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.
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 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 best rock songs ever!

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".
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

@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.
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!
