I've always admired my English Teachers.Of course one stands out.Oddly we crossed paths years after .Wéeks later I read that he had passed,alone in his apartment. I saw him him as he always was . Proper , Punctual , Articulate , and intolerant. He was a good man that made me a better person. He will forever be remembered by me , if not by the family that let him die alone.
Aloha from Hawaii 😉 🤙 One of my favorite rock bands as I teen growing up in Miami, went to their concert like age 15 at Pirate's World - Hollywood, Florida. I'm 66 & still listen to them from time to time.
(Sí señor, muy buenos.) And hard to believe. This is from 2012. I remember having listened to this band in the late 70's, and thinking "Pat Travers... don't forget!, very good Rock band!"
growing up in Memphis I have seen a lot of bands and this guy has got to be one of the best stage shows for an all out rocking show. Please come back to North Carolina (LKN) so you can show these boys how its done.
Check Kirk McKim playing with Last American Virgins. One hot CD from about 10 years ago. The local college radio station plays there stuff. The singer Shea still lives in the area.
les paul junior? i use one just for slide then my lp spcl with p90s, ESP ec1000, Custom Fender Esquire and my custom Fender Telecaster ..those are my 5 electrics ive customized them all and use them all ..Pat Travers, Leslie West and Rory Gallagher are 3 of my influences that showed me the power of vocal and guitar interplay...
Saw pat in a tavern called the bucket of blood in London Ontario a few feet away and we peed and laughed 2 feet from each other, another proud moment in my life. ?.Lol
+Shane T US that an older amp or a newer one. I used to have an old black face vibrolux that had great tone. stolen unfortunately. the only Fender I have now is an FM212DSP, like the one Joe Walsh used on Live From Daryl House.
Saw this lineup several years back at a small venue in New Hampshire, the band came out after the show to mingle with the fans at the merch table, I remember Pat telling my buddies girlfriend his hands where sore could she give them a massage? So she did. It was a great show and the guys were super friendly.
I was in Portland Oregon in the mid 70s and this dude just caught my ear and he came to town opening for cheap trick and the one tune that got me was Rock and roll Susie listen up my friends of P T?
That's a prs SE he's rockin', that means 'student edition', not special edition.....that's a budget guitar man, the prs econoline, and listen to how great he sounds! Slick playing Mr. Pat Travers. (did I mention he's Canadian, eh?)
Awedome player. Used to go and see him every time he came to London UK throughout the 90s and early 00s. Still think Pat Thrall was his best shotgun player, but Jerry Riggs came a very close second.
I'm only now starting to appreciate his playing. Not flashy, not really special in any sense except that IT EFFING ROCKS and that's what it's all about.
Me too. Where did he go, did he expire and I didn't even hear about that one. When I was 18 or 19 I seen Pat Travers OPEN for Ted Nugent at THE COW PALACE in San Francisco I think it was with my friend Chris Hodge in 1980 or 1981. Awesome great show! At least I seen them in their PRIME.
Ah... What the..? Pat Travers in 2012? He doesn't have one single grey hair in his head! And he's skinny as a 19 year old? What?! Mr. Travers has got to be at least... 60 years old? Unreal! All that and he plays like the devil himself!
Minotauro Di Chieti Looks like Uncle John Turner on drums. Remember - Johnny Winter Band and Stevie Ray's Double Trouble? Haven't seen him in a long time.
NOTE - - - JIMI did NOT.....I REPEAT....DID NOT USE A SLIDE WHEN PLAYING RED HOUSE......he used his fingers and BENT NOTES......till they became so meaningful.
+kemposoefi ok yeah sorry I went directly to music. I liked hid rhythm playing because it's not boring. In this type of blues songs i find that too many players get caught up playing boring rhythm lines. But rhythm is as important, if not more, than lead. His lead sounded good too. Together it sounds pretty good.
