Stevie by PAT TRAVERS

[@scottwilliams8310]

I can't tell you how many times I saw Pat Travers but I saw him open up for AC DC in 79 with Bon Scott on the Highway to Hell Tour and it was awesome played in Florida myself in the a bars and Traverse was down there forever and a day and still rocking hard Pat Travers is a rock God nothing better

[@scottwilliams8310]

Pat Travers is the man

[@scottwilliams8310]

Amen

[@Andrew_M_Ward]

I saw that tour in Washington DC

[@kevwells3785]

Been waiting patiently for him to tour the UK, he’s not coming ☹️

[@mikecote1976]

We went everywhere in Miami watching them back in the days

[@scottwilliams8310]

One of the best rock and roll bands I've ever seen I saw them open up for ACDC on the Highway to Hell Tour and then saw Pat Travers in Florida several times after that, Pat Travers is a true legend, one of the best rock and roll composers, singers, frontman to ever front a rock and roll band, thank you Pat Travers for everything you have done for us in this rock and roll world

[@scottwilliams8310]

Thank God I got to see him with Pat thrall

[@mikecote1976]

We went all over Miami listening to PT band. It was just the very best of times

[@mrsmokeydog7830]

The lead singing Guitar player is a thing of the past. Pat Travers is an excellent guitarist and a very good vocalist. Pat Travers from the beginning named the band after himself and that is because he is the leader and has always been. The guy is pure Rock & Roll it is in his Heart and in his Soul . This man is the quintessential Dedicated Rocker for life no following trends or changing styles to adapt what you see is what you get . PAT TRAVERS IS 100 % Pure Rock & Roll and No Bullshit>

[@kevinmcguinness1113]

Always loved this song. Got this gig on DVD, Jerry Riggs is a fantastic player too and compliments Pat perfectly.

[@DavidJackson]

Just saw Pat in Kent, Ohio. Still a great player (his voice sounds like he's 70.... Father time gets them all eventually). It was a great show. He's a three-piece now, so he didn't play this song. It's one of my Favorites. Go for what you know is one of my favorite albums of all time. He played some songs off a new album he's working on and they were really good.

[@larrylancaster7877]

I love rush but I never got to see them live I got to see the Pat Travers Band live right before Crash and Burn came out and the lineup was Tommy Aldridge on drums Cowling on bass and Pat Thrall... that lineup was the tightest band I've ever seen in concert and they put on the best show I was ever privileged to see, the musicianship was just incredible... I've seen Van Halen, Aerosmith,Ted, Boston, REO, Sammy, Sabbath,Journey, E.L.O.,etc. They opened for Foghat whom I'd already seen twice before. Foghat opened with Stoned Blue, I asked my girl if she minded if we split before the song was even over, and she just smiled and shook her head... Pat and P. Thralls duel leads were so spotless it's a shame they couldn't stay together. I remember reading a guitar mag interview with some sidemen including Thrall, Vivian Campbell, and I think Dave Manniketti, and Brad Gillis, where I think I remember Thrall saying that it had something to do with Pat's huge ego. As a 57 y/o player since the age of 12 myself I of course can't imagine that... still o' shame ; the best show I ever saw. During Tommy's solo after about 10 or 12 minutes of beating on the set with the sticks he threw those out to the crowd played another 5 or so with his hands. I never got to see Palmer or Peart so... Dude was incredible...

[@pattravers2611]

I appreciate your post and agree with you completely. I had to pleasure to be on the sound crew for him in Philly in 2017 and he's 1 of the most down to earth people I've ever met and I appreciate your post

[@jerrythomas8604]

That’s a hell of a band right there!

[@markneeley4288]

Tommy Aldridge and that lineup was, indeed, the best. Especially in concert ! Tight as fuck. Live Go for What You Know proves this specifically. Aldridge playing drums with his hands is damn sweet. And an obvious crowd pleaser.

[@johnhagan582]

I'm 57 and grew up in Orlando florida .and I to got to see PTB at least 4 or 5 times but just once with Thrall about the same time as you right after the "Go For What You Know" album and I have to agree they were as tight as humanly possible .but The The Blizzard Band was also extremely tight. But like you I've seen about every single group that came out of the late 70s and 80s .and in all honesty I'm gonna say Judus Priest was the tightest live band EVER .and also saw Aldridge with Pat Travers Gary Moore .Blizzard Of Oz and Whitesnake .dude was a beast and only drummer that was any better especially on a double base kit was Neil Pert .he was just from another planet .honesty he was SO ahead of every other drummer .but yeah Aldridge would be my second pick .

[@johnzarate9212]

​@markneeley4288 next Peart Tommy is my second favorite drummer and that's no disrespect to Tommy at all. Seen him many times!!!!

[@johnsmith-ug5tp]

An actual rock singer that has vocal chops and can actually sing. Pats vocal abilities are always overlooked.

[@scott193]

One of the greatest guitar heros I've ever had the privilege of seeing several times

I grew up with PT, simply AWESOME!

Pat was first guitar hero. Pat paved the way. before there was SRV. There was PAT. Truly a living legend. You will always be a part of my music DNA.

Ever hear of Les Paul? Jimi Hendrix? They might have been before Pat....

[@dannyhood4007]

Pat travers, Frank Marino mahogany rush, Randy hanson. Uli Jon Roth. All Beatles fans until Jimi Hendrix changed their lives . Randy hanson is Hendrix devotee from 70s ,still goin today. Everyone on this page already knows.

[@323life]

I worked for him in the late 80's. He is everything and more. Way underrated and overlooked. Go For What You Know Live is the standard for which live bands are measured. Pat and band set the bar...

[@323life]

And Mars is in my shitty option the best bass player there is, was. Mars never got the credit he deserved, Mars is known and widely respected by most pro bass players, but still. Mars was on a level he invented.. A one of a kind.

[@johneisler4242]

52, grew up listening to PT. Great to read that people know talent and class. Pat Travers didnt get all the credit he deserves. Touches my musical heart that we can give credit here now. Pat is a very skillfull guitarist and songwriter. All in on every note! I love that! Thank you Pat Travers for your music! Colorado is here and listening still...for life.

[@GaiaMiranda]

@@markrosenquist8259 sorry missed the post! He was selling it off and had it on eBay. I knew him because a friend of mine's brother is Sean Shannon one of his past drummers who owned a studio in Florida. I was recording a CD there and had no lead guitarist because mine passed away. Sean called Pat and he came down personally to do a lead track on one of my songs. After that Sean called me and said hey! Pat has it (the strat) on eBay BUT he said if you make him a cash offer right now he'll pull it down for you. The rest was history... BEST MONEY I'VE EVER SPENT ! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

I've seen Pat at least a half dozen times, surely more, at a nightclub in Cocoa Beach, FL called "Brassy's"' This video looks like it could have been filmed there. PT is the killer!!~

[@fasterman3]

I shot several concerts back in the 80's for magazines (MUSIC and CREEM) at Brassy's. Johnny Van Zant, Anthrax, Night Ranger, Kim Mitchell, and a reggae band I forgot their name at the moment. And probably a couple others. I lived in Orlando

Saw Pat at the Stanley theater in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, 1978. Still can't hear

[@johnhagan582]

Like i mentioned on a reply Pat in the late 70s early 80s was my favorite guitarist .i met him once at the Legendary Fern Park Station (Orlando Area) when i wasn't even old enough to be in the joint (17 but looked older Lol) saw him In Daytona Beach (twice) once at the Peabody Auditorium .and once during Spring break at the Old Plaza Hotel Ballroom along with Aldo Nova (for free i might ad) and at least once at the Lakeland Civic Center .His live Record "Go For What You Know" is in a tie for my favorite Live record of all time along with Judus Priest "Unleashed In The East" Randy's Tribute Album too.Rhoads was another unbelievably talented guitarist .after seeing him in 81 at Tampa's Curtis Hixon Hall i turned into a Randy Rhoads fanatic .also had tickets to see them again with Fournier in March 82 at the Tangerine Bowl but he got killed the day before in Leesburg on his way to the Festival .Pat living in Orlando at the time offered to fill in for Ozzy with less than a 24 hour notice .A Real Class Act for Pat to do .Have to admit it was a sad concert but seeing Pat again was the highlight of the Show .So yeah ive seen PTB more times than any other band and he never failed to impress .Thanks Pat for the music that inspired me and helped lay down my musical roots

Pat Traverse should be much more recognized in rock/blues history

[@johnnyrocket41267]

That is Jerry Riggs on guitar with Pat...GET WITH IT!!!

[@jeffreylujan7424]

I mean think about it put anybody next to Pat Travers and they're going to look inadequate but the guy in the 2019 video of Stevie buddy I don't know who you are I'll just call you buddy and not being disrespectful but it's kind of a dark blackened score that you'll see on your KZbin if you're looking at your phone and then when you open it up his hair is kind of blowing and he's got like a kind of a printed light green t-shirt on that's a great Stevie clip I know you'd love that just thought I'd tell you sound like an all star to me

[@jeffreylujan7424]

Look for that one that says Stevie and then it has parentheses on it and Stevie is in small writing in the background is kind of dark even when you open it up but it will pan up to Pat Travers and you can see his hair kind of flying in the background that's a much better Stevie clip than this one because the other guitar player player so if you're looking at your screen he's to the left of Pat and Pat comes over to him when they're playing those same notes that guy's good

[@fasterman3]

love Jerry, we go back to Riggs when they were releasing their album. Jerry crashed on my couch ...lol Jerry is in 38 Special now along with Barry Dunaway who played bass for Travers after Mars and with Jerry

@Jennifer PuhlI am not sure it's about that stuff. I do know Stevie is his brother. PT said when he was recording it he had the instrumental part done but didn't have the lyrics written yet. He was set to lay down the vocals the next morning and didn't know what he was going to do. Luckily for us he got an inspiration to write it about his brother.
