Pig -- I haven't checked the link yet, but I met Frank a couple of years ago when TLo hooked me up at NAMM. The guitarist with Starz -- Richie -- was walking around with Frank trying to find someone who knew him. hahahahahha I DID. We ndeed up hanging out with him for a bit. What a treat! I friggin love Angel! Will crank up 'Helluva Band ' just because . . . . Punky is a bad ass !!
okay, so the auditions went quite well last Wednesday. Had the new boys play the usual STP, Bad Company and Zep (The Rover, Stevie Viable),. I mentioned Pat and the next thing you know we're doing Rock and Roll Susie and Heat in the Street! NICE! PT, you'll be glad to know I gave your vocals their just due! first time (second to Pig's house) I've ever played those tunes in a band setting! TASTY -- these guys might be a fit. Also played 'Limelight' and 'Passage to Bangkok', just for grins Rock and roll |

Hey guys. Pat and the guys were amazing on Saturday night in Winston-Salem. The crowd was small but spirited. The band was tired but in a good mood. What a great f'ing band! I was stoked to see them after the Rockline show and I was not disappointed at all. Great musicians and great people. Isn't that the ultimate rock and roll combo? I'll answer it myself. Yes, it is. Pat, Kirk, Rodney, and Sean were all gracious with their time and did I mention they totally kicked ass? Ok-I'm out. I'll post more when I can. |

Someone just reminded me of this by letting me know that I showed up in her dream last night, waiting in sleeping bags in a line at Seahawks Stadium to get into a game!
Early this morning, I dreamed that I was at Mick Jagger's house hanging out with he and Keith Richards. When I left I said "Goodbye Mr. Jagger," and then as I walked out of the huge yard I yelled "Bye Bianca!" hahahaha -- Apparently my subconscious is just a tad behind the times.
Then I was involved in a sinister plot that involved an elaborate, sculptural, custom-designed clay-like scene, but using plastic boom-boom materials (real name omitted for Big Brother security reasons). Then that material became sand, as myself and the other perpetrators (who I did not recognize or see faces at all) wiped out our footprints. The house was decorated fully for Christmas (indoors, which is where this part occurred), and all of a sudden at the end of whatever we were setting up someone accidentally bumped a plastic, red cab with yellow bed toy dump truck down the stairs,where it could have set the whole thing off prematurely. A little girl SURROUNDED by presents kicked the truck at the bottom of the stairs, sending it further along, toward danger. I ran down and grabbed the truck, immediately realizing that my fingerprints were on it. I went to rub them off with my shirt and then I woke up.
Worked late, had a few beers, late-night pasta and some pistachios! WEIRD!!! and so vivid . . . the colors of the gift wrap were amazing. And NO I didn't have a small salad before bed!
Back to your regularly-scheduled PTB program. |

Rocker, thanks for that interview link. One interesting bit from there:
"We did Rockline a few weeks ago, you can check it out at rocklineradio.com , and we are probably gonna package that performance and sell it at gigs."
YES! I would definitely buy a nice clean copy of that!
Our Zepagain HoB gig was amazing, we had Jason Bonham sit in with us for our encore of 'Rock & Roll'! He hung out afterwards for quite a while, and he was great to chat with. Our drummer was loving it, talking about his dad, drum influences, you know, drummer stuff... It was an amazing honor & privelege for us all!
There's a whole gallery of pics of the show up at: http://imageevent.com/dirkbag/ledzepagain032109

Ego -- Hooked is in SD April 4-11. I'll be batching it that week with the wife taking #3 son and her mom & sisters to the Grand Canyon over Spring Break.
We're planning to hook up. I'm wondering if you and Motorhead want to try to synchronize schedules. I'm talking to gREG too -- he might come out -- BTW he's interested in seeing what kind of buddy-system he might work out at your mega-resort, but he's always welcome to hang at my house. Lemme know 619 571 3786 gREG 623 810 0645
Motorhead, I didn't know there WERE any good guys in Lemon Grove . . . is that the old Dirk's, or is that still there? |

Never heard of it, FK, but it sounds very cool. Wish I could've made it. Had to plug in the revolving door, as the Trower-esque shredder decided to return to his blues roots. We're still friends though, and it looks like he'll go to LZ and Trower with me. Checked out a very good drummer last night, and he may bring his guitarist AND singer with him Saturday. That would be cool -- we'd have to strongly consider the name "Instaband." Got another drummer who mayt bring his guitarist Wed. eeenin', so should have this thing pasted together by next week.
David Willmore (alias SZ) -- I just saw that Which One's Pink plays HOB next Saturday. Would like to check that out. Frank? You need to see them! You'll dig their show. Ego, are you out there?
Hooked, while you're here my wife will be with her mom, sisters and my youngest son at the Grand Canyon, so I'll be batching it all week. Dark Star Orchestra on the 9th, Robert Cray OR Don Felder an Evening at Hotel California on the 10th.

Hey Randal, I have a gig tonight in Julian at Bailey's BBQ & Grill; can't make the LZ show. Ever been there? They have an old barn next door that they turned into a huge bar. I think we are the only thing going on in town tonight. Those mountain folks are starved for bands so it's always a good gig. |

Hey Rocker! Just found the Rockline CD in a "Read This" folder my wife/sexetary had put on my desk about three weeks ago. Listening to it now! Thanks for the copy, man! Kinda like getting a bootleg PTB Live album, I s'pose . . .
Hooked, I'm making a note in my calendar to keep evenings open that week. Lookin' forward to meeting you and the wife. We should me able to egt motorhead to join us at some point, maybe for a show? Will see who'll be in town. Too bad you'll just miss LZ.
Oh yeah Steve, just realized that show is tonight! It'd be a stretch for me to go, as I have practice until 6. Probably won't make it, so break a leg.

Hey Rodney and Band,
Not sure if you'll get this but I'll give it a try. My soon to be ex-wife is refusing to let my 8 year old daughter go to the show tomorrow night. Says she's too young, bad environment-blah, blah, blah. Not much I can do about it. However, I was hopeful that maybe we could catch you during the sound check and get a quick picture of my daughter and Pat. It would absolutely make her day if she could meet Pat and the band. Just email me or call me on my mobile at 704-617-0139 if this is a possibility.
Thanks,
Brad/Blur |

Hey Brian, Hard to believe it's been that long ago since Randy's passing. The accident happened the day before I was gonna see him with Ozzy in Orlando. At least i had the opportunity to see him on the 1st tour. The band to take Ozzy's place at that show was none other than Pat Travers Band!!!
Blur, see you in Winston-Salem tomorrow night!! Looking forward to putting another face to the name. |

PTB Saturday night in Winston-Salem! By my estimation this is the first time in about 20 years that PT has played this city. We will have a nice group with us. I spoke with the venue a few minutes ago and it sounds like a nice place. It used to be an old post office. Standing room only with a few tables on the perimiter. Doors open at 8 and there is an opening act. Get out and support the boys! I'm stoked to see them, especially after hearing the Rockline show. See you there! |

Ah, the Lincoln Theater. Nice venue indeed. I spent New Years Eve there several years ago while visiting my girlfriend that lived in Raleigh at the time. Funny thing, the whole night I was thinking it would be a great venue for the PTB. |

Kegger-I saw Zoso at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, NC. This was a very good venue with great acoustics. They had a Motley Crue tribute band open the show and they were also very good. I think they are packaged together right now for touring and it's a good match. |

MM,
Spectres was miles ahead of AOF. I always found AOF dull & lifeless. Spectres had a lonely spooky, late night vibe. My favorite BOC, with Heaven Forbid a close 2nd. And if only On Your Feet Or On Your Knees had a better mix! My thoughts, anyway.
Ed loves BOC as well. Maybe this will stir him... |

I Love The Night is one moving BOC tune ..... it's got it all.... it's like two songs in one...
I always thought the Spectres album got a bad rap ... personally I feel it blew its predecessor Agents Of Fortune right out of the water...

Blur, thanks for the report on Zoso. I haven't seen them, but have been hearing good things about them for years.
Rand, thanks for the plug, yup, we've got a special guest coming to see us on Sat night, and hopefully he'll join us at the end! I'll give you all a report next week!
Goes without saying, the new tunes from the Rockline show are excellent! Ask Me Baby was up on the MySpace site for a while, but I hadn't heard the other one before. Some dame fine guitar ripping from Kirk!
Cheers,
Steve Z |

Cool Blur. For anyone in the LA area however, don't miss Led Zepagain at House of Blues Hollywood this Saturday the 21st. They're not naming names, but are hinting that someone special may be in attendance, and sounding like that someone may end up on stage at some point. Road trip, Motorhead? |

And the PTB hits Winston-Salem, NC this weekend! Can't wait! My two brothers are travelling in from other parts of the state. My 8 year old is getting her first PTB experience. Same for my sister-in-law and my 13 year old niece. My soon to be ex-wife might even come but she's probably a little gun shy right now around my family. My next door neighbor in Charlotte might also come. And a couple of friends around W-S might also come. We should be well represented. Anybody that wants to say hello just look for the ugly guy with the cute little kid with him. |

Hey Steve! I went to see your Led Zep counterparts the other night. They are called "Zoso". I asked the lead singer if he knew you. He said he didn't know you personally but certainly knew who you guys were. Gotta say these guys were damn impressive.
Good surprises-they pulled out "That's The Way" during the accousic set. They also did "Out On The Tiles" which is one of my favorite Zep songs that doesn't get that much attention.
Bad surprises-no "Whole Lotta Love", "Dazed And Confused" and nothing off of the first album. I would have liked to have seen the theramin and/or violin bow but I guess you've got a patent on that!
But overall these guys rocked the house. The rhythm section is the strength of this band. The drummer looks and plays just like Bonzo. The bassist is as impressive as any I've ever seen and I'm not exaggerating. The singer looks very much like Robert Plant and he has all the gyrations down pat. He was off key on the opener but got stronger as the show went on. The guitarist was very talented but lacking a bit in stage presence. He doesn't have the Jimmy Page strut/swagger but he was still very good and diverse. |

Yeah Kegger,
Clearwire doesn't require a dish either, which is cool.
Nobody's mentioned anything about the two new tunes the boys played on Rockline? Or did I just miss that conversation?
I particularly dug "Got Love To Give You"...'cause I like that kind of groove.
And Mistah Kizzirk rips a wicked, wicked little mamma of a solo ending in "Ask Me Baby"....Yessir.
Bob Coburn seemed geniunely moved after "Stevie".
I'll say it again. That was a killin' show. |

Yeah, well, nowadays, I check the list once in a while to see what the next announced, speculated on, maybe / maybe not release date for the delayed, new, upcoming CD is going to be.
I heard on local radio this morning that PTB was going to show up in DSM, IA, this summer, so I thought I 'd post that. |

Kegger, I felt your pain earlier also.
As for Mars there isn't much good video of his playing other than the early stuff on (or from) the Rockplast DVD.
I hope nobody minds but off topic here;
I picked up B.O.C.'s "A Long Days Night" DVD.
It has 2 flaws: Something is wrong with the bass guitar track....too much compression? It's hard to make out the lower notes...muddy. Otherwise the audio and mix is good.
The other is the video edditing jumps around from one camera to another too much on some of the songs.
Overall the DVD is smoking! Over two hours of music. "The Last Days of May" is worth the price of addmission itself.
Looking forward to Pat and company's new cd. From everything I can collect about it's release it will be a few months yet. The teasers are promising!
Cheers! |

I will second that Pig; The Rockline show is awesome. At times it sounds like a studio cut. The boys were on top of their game that night. I could tell the Host was a little in awe of what he was watching. Even though he is fan of the PTB he's probably not used to bands sounding like this live on a radio program, LOL! |

Kegger,
I feel your dial-up pain. I was in a very similar situation just a couple of months ago. You should look into Clearwire or HughesNet. I went with Clearwire because there was no DSL or broadband available where I live, even though I live in a decent sized city. Just a 3 or 4 block area around me was blacked out for broadband. Go figure! Wanted to avoid cable due to the costs. My computer tech/guru suggested Clearwire and it's been great. Extremely simple to connect up, very affordable rates, and so far, excellent results. Look into it and join the rest of us!
STILL digging the Rockline show! Anybody else? |

Thanks Rodney. No worries. Glad it was just logistics and nothing serious. We'll keep the July 10th date in mind. Bert and I hope to meet you at a show one of these days. We've seen Sean perform with PT many times (glad to see him back), and we've had the pleasure of seeing and hanging out with Kirk once. Bert's a bottom-end musician as well and always looks forward to checking out a fellow Bass Player. Hope to see you guys in July, if not sooner ~Nancy |

Anyone going to the Poughkeepsie gig? Bert and I have secured 2 tix!! Can't believe there's finally a show that coincides with our schedule. Johnny, so sorry to hear about you and Traci. Our prayers are with you and everyone else too that is having troubles....PT, KingsX and Thin Lizzy, now that would be a show!!! Randal, sounds like you have the same problem as Bert with bandmates. He's working on his 4th project in the last 18 mos. Looks like he's headin' in the right direction now. I'm sure you'll find a groove too. Mrs. Ginbel, nice to see you post. Hope all is well with you, Rich and Beckett. Can't wait for Saturday night!!! ~ Nancy |

I just listened to PTs "arrow" question for Scott again and the way Scott answered I now think there's some sort of secret message/joke between these two...maybe Kirk or Rod can get it out of PT and let us know. |

Scott really goes into detail when he answers questions...that dude should write a book...it was funny when someone asked him if there were plans to release any more live DVDs and Scott hesitated and replied, "I don't know what else is in that storage room...I just grabbed the '77 tapes"...I think the Lynott family/estate calls the shots when it comes to releasing anything "Thin Lizzy". |

Gorham and PT go back a long way as friends. PT supposedly almost joined Thin Lizzy at some point. Scott Gorham guested on the killer track "Speakeasy" from the Puttin' It Straight album. I'm sure that question has something to do with wild and crazy times in London back in the day. |

My pleasure regarding letting you guys know about Freecorder. I've definitely benefited many a time in many way from being part of this family, it's nice to give back, even in this small way.
Bro's with marriage woes, my prayers are with you. I hope things are least amicable with ex.
Randal, I'll be in touch.
SteveZ, I likely won't change the flight (but boy am I tempted!). But where do you live? Maybe we can get together some other time late in the week for a lunch or dinner. |

Rocker - Thanks for the disc! It arrived yesterday and I can't wait to let the neighbors hear it.
Sorry to hear about all the divorce stuff. I went through it 4 years ago and I can honestly say my life is so much better now. Hang in there and remember, all you need is a little luck and things will finally be lookin' up. |

John,gREG,Blur- really sorry to hear what you're going thru right now. We're wishing you all the best that life has to offer. Keep your chin up---you can get thru this!
Just checked out rockline replay and the band sounds fantastic! Wouldn't expect anything less of the PTB. Would really like to see the "new" band in person.
Hi Strat,Monica,Cindy,and Randal!
Monica- Happy Be-lated, be-lated birthday! Glad you had a blast. You only turn 40 once...may as well make it a memorable one. Speaking of birthdays, our birthday wishes also go to Elijah. (I think it's his birthday - my memory's going already!)
Peace,
Mrs. Ginbel |

Hey Johnny -- aarrgghh! LOVED YER VIDS, THOUGH. That's the attitude . . . and GREG -- how did you lose all that weight to fit into your high-school-era Speedos? And by the way -- I hate to be the one to break the news but the mullet is SO last century . . .
Hooked aka BB -- we'll be in town. Look me up! Steve, looks like I could make the HOB show, assuming it's here. I'll be heading for Tex-ass no later than the 13th but maybe earlier. Will check your site. I may have overlooked it on your email.
Called Jimbo to tell him I'll be blowing through DFW with a couple hour layover, but so far no reply. That's usually enough time for a quick run to Grapevine and back. He must've shacked up with a red-headed armadilluh |

Pat Travers Acoustic Show. March 7,2009.
Man, that was not easy. For some strange reason the hillbillies in Batchlerville do not want to westernize and mingle with the outside world. This is the second gig in two years that are super secret, so stay away I guess. The owner of The Old Country Store ( previous venue ) just bought the bar down the road called Carmelina's Grill ( Formerly Captain Carls Sunset Grill ). They do not have a telephone or a website. I wonder if they have toilets. Mike Johnson, Gloversville,NY. |

Johnny,Sorry for the heartache, I'm sure you know that "that the pain you suffer will heal with time" words from a very wise feller indeed. We went through a tough time in the late 80's. My father gave me a piece of advice that stuck. Boy,ain't nothin in the bottom of that bottle but glass. get your head out your a-- and live like tomorrow ain't there. Take care of what you can and p--- on the rest. And as Blur said,you have a whole family,(disfunctional as we may be LOL) right here. Hang tuff bro. Keg |

Johnny-hang in there buddy! It's been about 8 months separation for me. My faith and my family have made it tolerable. I am very fortunate. My kids are what keep me moving-literally. I'm moving to Winston-Salem to be near them. Hopefully the move will be complete before the March 21st gig for the PTB but I'll be there either way. Just hang in there and know that you've got an extended family right here. |

I've been waiting for a month to hear about the Saturday gig in Batchlerville, NY. Is it a private party ? The last time Pat played there it was a private party that was opened-up to the public a couple weeks before the show. Is this the same deal ? Where is the official website that posts Pats shows ? It was pattraversonline , but that is gone. Pat would have a bigger turnout if he posted his upcoming shows on his own website , not one of those hokey off-site services...Mike Johnson..Gloversville, NY |

And greg, hang in there. I'm going through a separation/divorce right now myself. I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason and I'll get through it just like you will.
On a positve note, my 8 year old daughter will be attending her first PT gig in a few weeks. Of course she'll have ear plugs but will officially be a Hammerhead when it's all done. |

Good news to me
I have a new band! Found a ripping guitarist and good, dependable drummer on Craig's List, had 'em both over today and we clicked! Kinda miraculous, in my opinion. Will ask Tom to come back in, my guitarist of 15 years, then need to find a one-testicled singer so Bob the drummer and I don't have to sing everything. I'm BA-ack!
ahh -- feels GREAT! |

Holy smoke! That's the best live PTB recording I've ever heard! Sean sounds crisper and better than I've ever heard him. Kirk is practically flawless. Rodney is hitting the bottom hard and heavy. And Pat sounds like he's 20 years old. Full of energy and enthusiasm. I am a beaming proud Hammerhead right now. That was an absolutely great performance! |

Yeah! That was a SMOKIN' performance last night! I was SO proud & happy for the boys for them to have the chance to kick everybody's ass on a NATIONAL radio show. Boy did they ever deliver! I told Kirk if they didn't win over a whole bunch of new listeners/fans, then there really is no hope for the music industry. It felt like 1979 all over again listening to REAL live music over the radio, except these days it's through the computer instead of the stereo.
Hey Rocker, any way I could possibly get a copy of the show as well? That was a performance that I'd certainly play over & over...
Well done boys! Congratulations! |

Yeah, I remember Rockline used to do that. That would've been cool. It was a hell of a show last night!! The new songs kicked booty! The rocklineradio.com will have it archived, so you should be able to listen to it anytime I do believe Pat has finally got his band!!
If you guys aren't already.... I highly recommend Facebook. I had the best time on there last night listening to pat & talking to old & new friends all at the same time. Even Cindy popped in on me!! We were all listening to the show. I was sending messages to Pat via Kirk's girlfriend who was in the studio. Too Cool! Look me up peeps. It would be nice to put a face to your names Just make sure you give me your username from here, so I know who it is. No weirdo's please! Well, I guess that just left out most of you ;) |

Having a kick a** time on the Coast so far! The Jumpin Turtle in San Marcos was great. Crowd rocked and had lots of energy to feed off of. HOB in Hollywood!!! What more can I say! HOB is always a pleasure to play at. The Hammerheads were out in full force and looks like we might have converted a few more.
Brian Maybe, glad to meet you and your better half. Glad to be able to put a face to the name!
Don't forget, Rockline tonight everybody!! |

I'll second Jeff's remarks, GREAT show last night! The crowd was really into it, the band all seemed very fired up, and Pat's playing & singing was highly inspired! My (much) better half, Catherine, decided at the last minute to go with me after all, and for her 4th PT show, she absolutely loved it. She even made me buy her a shirt and got the guys to autograph it!
Statesboro Blues was a nice surprise encore!
It was great to chat with Pat & Kirk again, and Rodney, great to meet you. Kirk finally figured out that we knew each other from music school back in '87, and we even did a performance together back then. Small world indeed!
Hey Jeff, come check out Led Zepagain at the same HoB on Mar 21!
Looking forward to hearing Rockline tonight!

Will check it out, Monica.
MAN what a show! Steve Z, you're in for a treat. This is an outstanding lineup! The band was on fire, rocking the house down the whole time. If the tour comes within 300 miles of you, don't miss it! Wish I could make Hollywood but I can't.
Thanks, Tony! |

No problem, I may even record it off the radio and the net, to see if there is a difference. The net tends to sound a bit "tinny" but the FM adds alot of hiss. The Rockline show should be good, even if Rockline got it's facts about PT slightly screwed up (they claim "Go For What You Know" was the first time Pat recorded Boom Boom.
Eevryone knows the first time was in 1954 when Pat was a sideman for Little Walter!!!

Any chance you could make a CD-R for yours truly???
I do plan on listening to it streamed as a replay from the Rockline website (or like you suggested... stream it live from one of the stations websites that are listed there)... |

May I suggest that Concert dates be once again added to this site instead of linking to Pollstar. As of this morning Pollstar is showing "No concert dates found for this artist." Pollstar seems to be always wrong. |

Here in LA, KLOS only plays Rockline as a replay, on Sat night at 11pm. I'll try to record it then.
On another note, got the new remastered Radio Active CD last week. I'd say it most likely comes from vinyl, but, it does still sound very good. None of that crackle that the remasters of the first 4 albums had. They did a very good job of cleaning it up & remastering it. Black Pearl is on the way next!
Off to Edmonton for gigs this weekend, be back on Mon in time for the PT show Tues night!
Cheers!

Not really advice ---> who the F am I to give music advice when I haven't written a song, it is more of a general way to approach life (don't let people label ya as this or that, keep'em guessing..)
stay relevant and don't grow old !!!
I know that it's just an opinion and everyone has one.....like an Assh*le.... I think my points are valid, albeit uncommon ...
I just like to have open discourse about EVERYTHING !!
Think outside the F'n Box....and if you hate me for that, then please don't pro-create, lol !!
I guess BOC would find out who their real fans are if they didn't play DFTR...It can't always be about the almighty dollar (fringe fans)..you begin to lose direction and soul...
If I could edit my previous post I would have omitted:
"(I, personally would have dropped that song within a year from the setlist to break the label)"
But the "Punk" in me still feels that way !!
Peace and free your minds... |

Hey Kirk ....
Gear question for ya (again...):
Ever use the RAT Deucetone pedal? I think it's awesome..... it is basically two RAT pedals side by side in one pedal. Here's the kicker, each side of this pedal is switchable between three different RAT sounds.
Side A has turob rat, vintage rat, and dirty rat.
Side B has turbo rat, vintage rat, and clean rat.
You can use them indepentently or cascade them together ...... insane amounts of gain! |

I'll bet Pat would tell you the "Boom Boom" and "Snortin'" label has been both a blessing and a curse at various points in his career. But he's at a point in his career where he absolutely has to play those songs. It's what he's best known for. Some people attending his shows haven't seen PT in 20-30 years. If he didn't play those songs the chances of those folks returning to see him again would be greatly diminished. Diehard Hammerheads like myself have about 50 songs by Pat that I dream about him playing live before I die and that I know I'll likely never hear. But a PT show with those two calling card songs is better than none at all. It simply comes with the turf and PT still rocks those songs as hard as ever.
Thanks for letting me share my .02 worth. Now back to your regularly scheduled program. |

Yo William, I feel the same way but add Snortin Whiskey to that list. Whenever I mention Pat to someone I usually get, "Who? Ohhhh yea, he's that Snortin Whiskey guy." It wouldn't bother me one bit if Pat never did snortin and boom boom again. I have always wondered if he ever gets tired of playing those? |

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
How NOT to Market oneself in Society Today
--------------------------------------------------------------
1) Let some media types or group, LABEL you
2) Then they MARGINALIZE you
3) POOF, you're Obscure and Irrelevant !!!!!!
The trick is if somehow they Label ya, you Must break that label before they Marginalize you !!!!
It happens all the time in the music industry, case in point (sorry, PT):
Pat Travers is a great guitarist/songwriter, however, he has been labelled as the Boom, Boom, Out Go the Lights (song) Guy, his biggest hit !! Years later after putting out better songs and albums he never shed that label (I, personally would have dropped that song within a year from the setlist to break the label) He pissed off alot of folks in the biz and he was quickly marginalized and deemed obscure to media types, POOF !!! I hope for his "Comeback" soon as he still puts out better music than 99% of the bands today !!!
I would like to hear some feedback ???

Kegger, we have three properties here on Treasure Island. I work out of the Thunderbird Beach Resort. 800-367-2473. I do audits on Sat and Sun nights from 11:00 pm to 7:00 am, and one 3-11 on Tuesdays. T-Bird is the best of three properties. Tiki Bar, oversized pool, live music in the afternoon weather permitting. Give me a call and depending on what dates you are looking for I can problably get ya a decent rate. I can always find some reason for an unusual discount rate. We have poolside and Gulffront with balconies. This hotel was built in 1957 when the Thunderbird Hotels were a chain. www.thunderbirdflorida.com Nicely kept with a classic courtyard setting. Rooms all redone two years ago. The tiki bar attracts a good mix of local and tourist.
No Modesto CA. gig for me. Took the Scoobie dog to vet for yearly poking and prodding. Has heart worms again! It isn't cheap to fix that. That pissed away airfare and everything else. Can always catch many shows later this year. The dogs come first. Back to slacking at work! |

Hey everyone!! Hold your breathe! Looks like the CD project that has been on hold, is going to start moving into the final phase and then mixed. The delay has been out of Our hands and frustrating, so we haven't spoke too much about it. Thanks for the believers for hanging in there with us!!
Cheers,

JimK - At the Bakersfield show a couple of weeks ago Pat said the new CD was delayed. He explained that his partner supplied the money and he provided the talent and yada yada yada. |

I've used A-16II model Aviom's quite a bit in a church setting no less and really like them as long as you have a good set of in ears. Saves a ton of time in sound check!

So I mentioned last week about how I have some how accumulated some 30 PT discs. I was telling a friend about it and he asked if had that many songs. Well, not that we've heard anyway, but it did get me to thinking how many songs are there actually? how many versions of "Hooked On Music", "Life in Londond, "Stevie", etc do I have? How many are original PT, and how many are covers?
Well, since I am copying them all into iTunes, it shouldn't be to difficult to figure it out. I'll keep you posted.
One thing about the Ipod, I keep finding new favorite PT songs! Electric Detective for a whlie, then Hot Shot, then Hammerhead, then original Need Love/Hooked....
man, I need him to come to Buffalo!
Gearheads...do any of you use personal monitor systems; the kind where you can set your own mix? Looking into this for the church worship band. Any suggestions? I just found one brand, Aviom. Are there any others? |

Steve Kinder, I looked up those Westwood One shows on ebay. The 1981 one would be the RadioActive tour. It says it's recorded in LA; I've got a couple of other radio shows from that tour, but not LA, so I can't tell you if it's a complete show (probably not, since Kansas is also on there). Usually, the sound quality is quite good on those radio shows, so hopefully the vinyl is in good shape, too. The lineup would be Pat, Mars & Sandy Gennaro.
I have the vinyl of the 1982 show from Jacksonville. I don't know the lineup on it, though. It's between Black Pearl & Hot Shot, and sounds to me like a temporary lineup for that one show, or maybe a series of shows. They do play a few cover tunes that aren't on anything else I have, and if I'm remembering correctly, I think 'You Don't Love Me' is on there, which he definitely did not play much after the Making Magic era. It's interesting, but not my favorite PT show. I haven't heard it in years, and I don't have a working turntable now.
Don't know if that helps you at all!
Cheers,
Steve Z |

Thanks, Rodney. I was already rounding up friends to hit both shows. There will be some lightweights as it's a Monday night, but all they have to do is quit their jobs and it won't be a problem . . .
Will bring an entourage regardless. May rent a van and find a designated driver?
Steve Kinder -- I've heard one of the Westwood One shows -- seems to me it was a good one with strong lineup, but my CD's are out of oder (in terms of filing), so I'm not able to spot the name or dates on it at the moment. I'm sure one of the more "librarious" members of the PT Family will answer your question soon. |

Greetings gang. I've been checking this board for a while and figured I'd register and join in. Been a PT fan since I saw him open for Aerosmith on their Rock In A Hard Place tour in 1982. Was wondering if anybody knows anything about those Westwood One Concerts for sale on Ebay at the moment. Were those ever released on CD like the King Biscuit stuff? There are two PT Westwood One shows currently listed and I'm thinking about bidding. Anybody already have those shows, and are they good performances? Thanks in advance for any replies! |

RIP Billy Powell
Hey Hooked. Thanks for checking back. Anthony is doing better -- should I say Gettin' Betta -- he's got a ways to go but is on the mend. Sounds like it was a hit and run, so my attorney buddy is gonna try to help him recoup some money for medical expenses. Don't know if he'll ever ride again . . .
Ginbelly -- Strat is Rockpig! Still alive and well, as they say.
Morse, congrats on the new band. I have a couple of auditions lined up with bands, but am leaning toward starting a new one. Will keep you posted. The band name I'm toying with is "Angry Orangutans" -- heard that one's out of circulation.
Hey Ego, did I read that right? Will check the gigs page. Assuming it's on, lettuce hook up! I'd better check the date, as I will be in Hawaiier Feb. 8-15. Speakin-o-which, Tom Leary where are ya? Will be in Honolulu . . . gimme a shout 619 571 3786
Hi Mrs. Travers! Good reading from ya. How's Apollo?
Last but not least, I have it on good authority that Jimbo and gREG came out of the closet and are living together (quite comfortably, thank you) in Palm Springs . . . |

Kegger, thanks for the welcome. Been a fan for many years and the show at The Clearwater Theater was great. The band was really tight and cool. They were high fiveing Sandy like he was the perfect fill in. Pat is playing the best I've seen in a long time. he is like a fine wine, dude just gets better and better. The Clearwater is a nice intimate place where Johnny Winter, Leon Russell, Eric Sardinas and Sonny Landreth have played in the past. The place was packed and very into PT so I wouldn't be surprised to see them return. My buddy and I got a great picture with Pat after the show and we look forward to seeing them again. Pat Travers live is the best! |

You’re right Blur, no disappointment at all. I was under the impression that the show was going to be acoustic; however it was sure enough electrified. Just Pat and Kirk hammering out mellowed down versions to all his classics and more. It was a kick in the ass and I would go see that arrangement again, but in all honesty, I left wanting just a little bit more. Thanks to Brian’s post I see we will get that in another month or so at the HOB Hollywood!!

Jeff-you won't be disappointed. I did the exact same thing you did a couple of years ago-went to my first PT unplugged gig as well as took a virgin Hammerhead to the gig. PT unplugged is "electric" and he'll still blow your socks off and anyone else that goes. Adding Kirk to the mix will make it that much better. So there's no need to be apprehensive. Trust me on that and have fun! |

Looks like Skynyrd is down to there last surviving original member thats still in the band. With Artemis Pyle no longer drumming for them, it leaves only Gary Rossington. Is this finally the end for Skynyrd?
ORANGE PARK, Fla. (AP) -- A keyboardist for the southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd has died at his northeast Florida home.
Orange Park Police Lt. Mark Cornett says 56-year-old keyboard player Billy Powell called 911 about 12:55 a.m. Wednesday saying he was having trouble breathing. Rescue crews performed CPR, but he was pronounced dead at 1:52 a.m.
Cornett says no foul play is suspected and an autopsy will not be performed.
He says Powell missed a Tuesday appointment with his doctor for a cardiac evaluation. A heart attack is suspected.
Powell was one of two surviving band members who were with the group before a 1977 plane crash that killed three of its members. |

S.H.: You thinking of going to the show in Mansfield if it is confirmed?
I'd sure try to make it.
You should see the old jail in that town, I think it was used in some movies.
Hey TLO: Come to think of it how 'bout a summer P.T. gig for the Hammerheads right inside the prison?
http://www.deadohio.com/mansfieldreformatory.htm
Bringing back the "Killer Instinct" for that one.
That would make a great DVD!!!!!!!!!!

Johnny- Hey, thanks again for including me in the show last Thursday (1-15-09). Honored to be there, much less share the stage. PT & KM kicked @$$. Oh, and you weren't so bad yourself! What great, accomodating, generous, talented guys. Can't wait 'til PT gets up this way again. Start workin on that there Mr. Stalker :-) |

Did you say PTB/Kings X?..........We'd drive to London for sure....that would definitely be worth the 8 hour drive....Bert and I saw KingsX out in Long Island (2001? - I think)- Unbelievable, especially for a 3-piece!! I'm sitting here listening to PTB - BBC Radio Live..while I download some band stuff for Bert...really makes you wish for a PTB fix....sounds like a good time was had by all at the Pat & Kirk show....we'll keep better track of this site and hope to be at the next one...Johnny, it doesn't look like we'll make it to your show with Blackfoot....we'll catch up with you one day soon ~Nancy |

Hey Pig -- Jimbo wrote saying he sent an email to you that was rejected. I tried to forward it to you, but mine came back and said "no such recipient." What's the squeeze, breeze?
Hey Tom Leary -- the wife and I will be in Honolulu Feb. 8-15. Got meetings the 9th and 10th and will be visiting a buddy, but thought maybe we could meet for a few foo-foo drinks with umbrellas and pineapples . . . lemme know if you're on Oahu. We hope to get to Kauai, but don't know if that'll work.

I almost forgot to thank Johnny Morse for bringing Pat & Kirk to my neighborhood (again) ...
It's grass roots efforts like this that make this all possible ....
Very nice to meet Ms. Johnny too!
Who was the first guy the played that night? very good!
Was also nice to see Johnny doing solo electric guitar too! That harp player was icing on the cake....
Love this internet thingy, yes indeed! |

Nothing wrong with stalking your favs I always say!!!
Seriously though, they did Suspicious Minds real justice ..... I always thought that song and In The Ghetto were two of Elvis' finest....
The duo thingy with Kirk & Pat went over real nicely with the appreciative crowd ..... I feel privlegd to witness such a show.
Pat & Kirk were both in top form and very gracious with their time after the show (had a nice pic of me & Pat taken) ... he even signed my albeit lamely "printed off of google images" picture of his Babicz acoustic promo photo ..... I'd post it here if we paste images into the message board (suggestion Ed?)... Also bought an awesome t-shirt with the classic Pat Travers Band logo from the Heat In The Street album.... very nice indeed!
Hey TLO ..... you still owe me some merchandise my friend ... next time?
Rodney & Sean: hope your rested up ..... as you know, there is no substitute for the mighty Pat Travers Band........ man, I can't wait for that new album ...!!! |

I saw the Pat and Kirk duo last spring down in orlando and thought they sounded great. It was a first for meto hear Pat acoustically. I thought it was great even though I really left still needing my normal Pat Ass Kickin. Of course he hung with the crowd for a while after the show. Look forward to the new CD in 09. I bought the Hot Shot and Radioactive CD's last month. I forgot how good both if those CD's were. I still need to get Black Pearl. I have Black Pearl on vinyl signed by Pat from a show from July 81 at Sunrise Musical theatre. Rose Tattoo opened the show and of course Pat blew the roof off. Good Memories. |

Happy New Year to everybody here on the PT site. I keep forgetting my pass word and have to re enroll. Anyway, Kirk and Rodney it is the die hard from The Pit in Jax and Cocoa beach shows. Sorry I missed the Louisville show I am sure it was awesome. Looking forward to a big year from Pat. I am chomping at the bit to get to number 80 on the PT show counter. Just wondering if Pat plans on doing a little solo work during the upcoming shows. I really missed that at the Florida and Newport RI shows. Anyway like I said happy new year all. |

Coolness, Hooked!
Nanc, biz is actually Lookin' Up, in spite of the economy or lack of same. Sittin' in Seattle after a meeting on one of my projects here. Before the meeting I got word that we were selected for a three-year contract with Port of Insane Diego. I'm pretty stoked about that -- many years in the making! After the meeting, I got a call telling me that we have another charter school starting up next month, which is great. There's more but I won't bore the masses -- just very glad to report that this year is starting off quite well. Thanks for asking!
Tell Bert I'll give up bass chores in my new band and stay behind the mic if he joins. And if Pig joins. And Motorhead. I forgot who's playing drums -- Jimbo, gREG or ??? Sorry guys -- I forgot who our PTB Family Resident Drummers are.
Hey Frank, my son's playing House of Blues Wednesday night. Can you make it? I'm sure they'll be on early . . . lemme know if you have a shot at going and I'll get their start time and tix for ya. Ernie egobeedot buzz -- any interest? Sumpin' to do midweek . . .
Prayers please for my good friend Anthony. Some idiot clipped him on his Harley and sent him into a sign post at about 65 mph. Numerous broken ribs, broken pelvis, fractured femur on the same side as his year-old hip replacement, and a banged up eye socket with minor brain bruising. He's out of ICU but has a long road to hoe . . . Send up a good word, would ya?
Finally, HEY TLO! WHEN WE GONNA SEE THE BOYS OUT WEST??? It's gonna be REAL good, I know. : ) |

Ok Mars (if I may call you Mars) - no need to rub it in about the Fuller Roadhouse show (just kidding)- sounds like we missed an exceptionally good one - and I'm sorry to say it doesn't look good for tomorrow night either - you guys have a blast though and give my regards to the boys. Actually, I recently developed some unidentified film that turned out to be from the Sagandaga Lake Show 2 summers ago (I know I'm bad)- some great pics including a great one of Kirk pulling a Gene Simmons. I'll have to bring them next show.....Rocker thanks for the tip on the Jeff Beck DVD - give us a shout if you hear when it hits the shelves ~Nancy |

Hey Nancy (and Bert!),
I picked up the new Jeff Beck the day it came out. He has a full band with him, and it of course sounds fantastic, since everything Jeff does sounds great. There are clips on YouTube from this gig that was recorded. Just type in Jeff Beck Ronnie Scott's and you'll find them. |

Hey Randal - how goes the architectural biz? Hope all is well....Missingmars - sorry but neither of those were me at the fuller roadhouse, though it sounds like maybe I wish it was (lol)- I can't believe we missed that one - we really need to check in here more often -(lol)- Thanks Johnny, I will contact you directly if I think I'll be able to make it - We're supposed to get a deep freeze up here Thurs nite (-20) and with Bert working OT someone needs to keep the home fires burning....too bad we can't teach the dogs to put a log on the fire. It would be a bummer to miss that show too, I'd hate to think that dream was for nothing........well I guess the good news is, from what Tony says, there should be a PT show in our city soon...one can only hope.....Speaking of great guitar players - has anyone heard the new Jeff Beck CD - 'a night at Ronnie Scotts'? Supposedly, it is just Jeff, his guitar, and an amp....Nancy |

Are you the one that had PT and the boys over for supper or where you the one with Sean's drumstick?
Either way, we'll see you (and your girlfriends) at the show on Thursday!!!

Woo Hoo! PTB Tonight!!!
Great to see the hardcore Pacific Northwest chapter of fans travelling to see Pat tonight.
Big Ed...we're staying at the same motel as you...it'll be nice to see you once again!
Looking forward to seeing Rodney for the first time. Always a pleasure seeing Kirk smoke on guitar...one of the best decisions Pats made.
Does anyone know who is opening the show??? If Pat comes on before Derringer then we're in trouble. 3 hour drive to Seattle plus US customs to get through & we may not make it until after 8pm when the show starts...we're cutting it real close.
Bette r u going or what? |

Coming up for air!!!! Hey Hammerheads, Did I miss anything? Wait a minute, I think some of you have been waiting on me to fill U in on the latest PTB news!
Sorry to disappoint, but no release date as of yet  CD has been mixed and mastered.Just waiting on the powers to be make the next move. We're kicking around the idea of going into Mr. Shannon's Studio and start working on something new. ( PTB does Kids Boop #18!)
On a brighter side We're heading out to play some shows!!!!!! This weekend, Friday @ Snoqualmie Casino (Wa.) with Rick Derringer. Saturday @ Double JJ Resort in Rothbury, Mi with Jackyl. Should be a great time. We're ready to make some noise!!! I see some of you plan to attend the Friday show. Excellent!!!! Make sure you say Hi!
Keep checking Pollstar, dates are rolling in. Hope to see you soon.

Hey Pig -- do me a favor and look out for my buddy Jim Burnside. Looks like a youngish James Brolin, black hair days. He'll be lookin' for a guy who looks a tad like a youngish Neil Young . . . he's an old high school buddy. Give him the red carpet treatment!
(sigh) was still holding out hope that I could make it through some small miracle, but it ain't in the cards. Can someone roll video on this one? puh-LEEZE? Would love to see backstage with the band, the loyal Hammerheads and Hummerheads and what promises to be an historic show. . .
I am there in spirit! Rock on in the Gemini Mode. |

Tom Leary, sad to hear of your loss. My condolences to you & your brother.
Rockpig, great to meet you at the show, and thanks a bunch for coming by & bringing your friend, too. Hopefully we will have more time next time, but that's par for the course for our gigs, rush in, play, rush out! We've gotten used to it... But Catherine & I did get to spend Sunday in Portland, and hiked around in the hills there before flying back.
Rand, damn man, great to see you too, and thanks for making that trip up! Not exactly round the corner! What a surprise indeed, and thanks for the roadie work!
Cheers all,

Hey Piglet. I ended up doing a little roadie work for the band -- turned around and you guys were gone, and caught you by phone to find out you were already on the road back to Bob's place. Had to cut the trip short, due mostly to Grace's uncle's passing and partly to the demise of my wallet's contents. YEP, that was a great time and I know that the crowd would love to have LZ back! |

Not PT related but....
Had the good fortune of catching Steve Z's Led Zepagain for their first ever Pacific Northwest gig in Seattle on Friday night. Ironically, I had seen a local Zeppelin tribute band the week before, and while I thought the singer & drummer for that band did an admirable job, they were nowhere near as convincing as Zepagain were! They played to a pretty excited and fairly full room at The Showbox (one of Seattle's more popular venues) and I must say they really rocked the room. Randal made it up from San Diego for the gig and after the show we met up with Steve (and his girlfriend) for a short visit before they had to load out. Thanks Steve for the comps & it was good to finally meet you. Next time we'll have to plan things out a little better so I can show you some of the Seattle sites. After the gig Randal vanished into thin air. No idea where he ended up! Where did you go, dude?
The following night (Saturday) I finally got to see a band that I've been trying to catch live for a little over 15 years. Playing in a smaller venue (El Corazon) to a small but very appreciative crowd (much like a Travers gig!) I finally, (FINALLY!) witnessed Ozric Tentacles. They were every bit as good as I was hoping for (they are a jam type of band after all) and after the show I had the opportunity to visit with the band and get all kinds of questions answered. They were very approachable & appeared genuinely surprised that they had a devout following here in the States (They are from Somerset,UK). If you've never heard of them, check 'em out...If you have heard of them, then you understand my excitement! Lol!
All in all, it was a great weekend of music. And to top it all off, the PTB is here in 3 weeks!
No Angry Orangutan was spotted at either gig... |

Tom - sorry to hear of your loss....Great that you had such a long time with Mom. Lost mine when she was just 42.
Hope everyone is coping with what's been sent their way. Some new PT will take the edge off, or put the edge back on, if that's what you need.
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Been busy with work and the church worship band. Started leading that every other month or so. Didn't realize how much work went into that. But it's all worth it.

I suppose it will be winter time as usual, if we can get some dates on the site, your loyal fans in the UK will get to work on spreading the word....all the best from the UK. |

Hey Badger,
Thanks for the heads up. I'm sure you & Sandy will be driving down for the gig? Look forward to seeing you there. Just got off of the Ticketbastard site. Snagged front row between PT & Kizzirk, so I'm really stoked about that! Haven't been to this venue yet, but word is it's a pretty nice room. Had plans to see Trower there next week but he rescheduled for July 2nd, and I'll be in Baltimore for a week visiting my girlfriend at that time so I'll be missing that one.
(Hey "Raymond"...Donnette says hello. Lol!)

Hey all, haven't been here in awhile, had lots going on. I was looking in today's paper and saw Led Zepagain at the Alladin. So I checked the myspace page and sure 'nuff is. Steve Z, I think that we can make that show, and then Kings X June 8th. Looks like it might be a decent year for live music after all. If only PTB would come a little closer to Portland than Ontario. |

The long awaited CD is getting closer everybody!!!!!! Just got a preview copy of the mastering, Sounds great!! Can't wait to share it with all you Hammerheads.
The Band is getting itchy fingers, ready to play!!! Keep checking Pollstar for latest show dates.
RIP my friend Ean Evans. Had the pleasure of crossing paths with him many times in the past 20 years.
Cheers to all,

Man, that's awful...we have to cherish every moment we have here.
Pigster, I picked-up Porc Tree's Deadwing & In Absentia...cool tunes.
I have my Porc Tree & Kings X tixs, should be a great show it's in a soft seat theater so will be interesting to see if Kings X revisit their more prog side from their earlier days. I here Porc Tree has a very visual show.
My good Bud who I have know for 30 year tuned me into Mastodon. Basically told me to buy "Crack the Skye" and to be available May 5 to check them live (no excuses allowed)
Man o Man..prog rock is back with a HEAVY HEAVY twist. It's kinda like Yes Relayer on steroids! Remove Jon Anderson from the equation, mellow out the keys, so they basically add color. Turn everything else up & create a music apocalypse for the modern dark times.
I'm not saying these guys are Steve Howe or Chris Squire or anything, just saying they must have been digging the old school prog rock from the 70's. Definitely not sounding like your new music FM Radio Station.
Can't wait for the new PT!!!
WE WANT THE NEW PT!!!

Happy for you Steve! Figured the "PTB Family" would be happy to read about it as well. You guys are on a roll...
On another topic, the boys in Lynyrd Skynyrd just can NOT catch a break from all the bad news...Looks like they've now lost the replacement for the late Leon Wilkeson.
COLUMBUS, Miss. -- Bassist Donald "Ean" Evans of the Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd has died of cancer at his home in Mississippi.
Lowndes County Coroner Greg Merchant said Evans died Wednesday. He was 48.
A statement posted on lynyrdskynyrd.com said, "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of longtime Lynyrd Skynyrd bassist Ean Evans. Ean put up a valiant battle with an aggressive form of cancer and he will be sorely missed by family, friends and fans."
Rest in peace "Ean"... |

Hey Steve, you'll dig this....
Just spotted this on Martin Popoff's Bravewords & Bloody Knuckles website...
LED ZEPPELIN Tribute Band LED ZEPAGAIN Continues To Tour
Posted on Wednesday, May 06, 2009 at 19:39:56 EST
BraveWords.com has received the following press release:
Speculation ran wild throughout 2008 about a full-on LED ZEPPELIN reunion tour in the wake of a blazing performance by the three surviving band members with drummer Jason Bonham -- filling the role of his father, John Bonham, who died at age 32 in 1980 -- at the 2007 tribute concert for Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.
Now that the dust has settled and it's clear that Bonham, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones will not be officially reuniting, Zep fans are more excited than ever about the next best thing: Led Zepagain, renowned as the best re-enactment band of Led Zeppelin ever.
Founding Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has long heaped praise on Led Zepagain, whose members include Swan Montgomery (Plant), Jim Wootten (Jones), Steve Zukowsky (Page) and Jim Kersey (Bonham).
"It's amazing how much you sound like us," says Page. "You must have grown up on this because you were inside the music, and you paid attention to detail in your presentation ... I can tell you guys really love the music!"
Recently at the House Of Blues Sunset Strip in Hollywood, Jason Bonham rocked the house as he jammed with the band during their rousing second encore performance of 'Rock And Roll'.
One of the fans singing and rocking along at the HOB was Jerry Greenberg, who worked closely with Led Zeppelin when he was President of Atlantic Records in the 1970s.
For more information on Led Zepagain, please visit www.zepagain.com.
Their current tour schedule can be viewed here. |

Hey RICH,
Get used to waiting, I was just listening to a bootleg from 1985 (Thanks R-Pig)where Pat introduces a "new" song. The song never made it to the album, but the album came out 5 years later - School of Hard Knocks.
Better late than never I guess!

Hi guys - anybody any idea when PT is visiting the UK ?...if he decides to play Manchester, try the Academy 3 venue, it's at Manchester University, or maybe the Citadel at St Helens, halfway betweeen Manchester and Liverpool - Popa Chubby played there last year - awesome. If the guys are looking for a support - check out Stone Sole River who have played with Mountain and Joe Bonamassa. Cheers everybody ! |

For those of you into bootlegs and Wolfgangs Vault, they have begun to release some of the concerts on cd. Called the "Authorized Bootleg Collection", they have 4 so far. 2 Skynyrd, Cinderella, and a great concert from Muddy Waters circa 1966. I got all 4 at Deep Discount for 8.97 each, no tax, free shipping. Hopefully they will release the PT they have on thier website thru this new collection of cds.

Mighty quiet in PTB land right now but I did find this. A May 19th release date for "Travelin Blues" on Blues Bureau International. I'm guessing this is a covers album to keep us happy until the new original album gets ironed out. Can anybody tell us anything about this?

Thanks so much, you guys! That means alot, especially coming from the PTB Family. You're the best. We're getting through it -- I've been taking time off work to be with the family so haven't been online at all. Got to get back into the world though, so I'm easing my way back in -- slowly.
Mom's feeling relived, as she had watched him suffer for so long and she knows -- as many of you have pointed out -- that he's in a better place. It's got to be a huge weight lifted for her too . . .
One story comes to mind right now. Years ago, before he got into the ministry, Dad was at the Eagles Club in Pasco WA. A black woman had appeared at the bar and they began to talk, along with a number of Dad's other friends. He got home and told us about the encounter, as he hadn't had alot of exposure to black people at the time, and then he coined the phrase, "I loves you but you the WRONG culluh!" Not a rascist thing, but in my mind it's especially funny seeing as how he later became a Pastor . . . : ) |

Hey Randal. Very sorry for your loss. This touches me close to my heart. My 79 year old Father just took his second chemo treatment and I fear he has waited too long. I just moved them into a new home on my property, so I can see them and check on them everyday. I should have done it years ago People, cherish what you have NOW! You will have less regrets later.

Sorry for the downer, folks, but after all we ARE the Pat Travers Band Famdamily, right?
Rest in Peace, my dear stepfather.
The Reverend Arthur Thomas Ehm joined his Lord on Wednesday, April 22 at approximately 4 pm. He was ready to go Home, and the family is convinced that he has transcended The Pain (which of course I will listen to now and ad nauseum for the next two weeks) and has moved on to the next dimension.
June 7, 1929 - April 22, 2009
We love and dearly miss you, Pastor Dad. Say hi to Jesus Christ for me and please tell Him that I was just kidding, most of the time.
Please also thank Him for Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Henry Travers and Family.
Good health and fortune to you all |

Hey Randal, Sorry to hear about your Dad. We lost our Dad, 4 years ago to cancer, but he fought hard for seven years. Thoughts and prayers for strength are with you and yours. Also, we are in Upstate NY now, north of Albany, so DC is quite a hike from here...about 8 hours. You may have better luck with the Ginbels as they are in Delaware. Can't wait to here "edge of darkness". Unfortunately, we are in the same boat as Kegger, only dial-up here in the boonies, so it's almost impossible to download these things...JMRoxx, not sure if we will be able to get to the Poughkeepsie gig in July, but we'll be sure to look you up if we do....~Nancy |

Hey Piglet. Did you play some Tree for me when we hooked up? Sure is sounding familiar . . .
Hey guys, Dad is in good spirits and looking forward to radiation to reduce the pain. I told him I think he's got some good years left, and he believes that God is gonna step in and give him the long life he's been promised.
San Antone was great. Ended up on stage at the dueling piano bar, went to the AWESOME Spurs game that won them home court advantage, learned the Boot Scoot Boogie and helped subdue a purse snatcher. The biniss side was good too. Hey Rich and Nancy and Bert -- I'll be in DC late June. You guys close enough to visit?
Took my second bass lesson Friday -- I figure I'll show a marked difference by end of summer . . .
Where's Jimbo?
Oh yeah -- JMROXX, I'm happy for ya! That's sure been along time comin'. |

Hey Toaster,
Porcupine Tree (still can't get used to that silly name) was a surprise find for me about 4 or 5 years ago. Fantastic band! You're in for a helluva show, especially with King's X as the opening act. If you have nothing by Porcupine Tree yet, I'd highly, highly recommend you start with their "Deadwing" release from 2005. Once you spin that disc, you'll be hooked. If that happens, don't change your handle from Toast Poaster to Hooked on PT (Porcupine Tree), because that would be too confusing as we already have a Hooked on PT (Pat Travers) that posts here already! Nyuk, nyuk.....
Anyway...great band! Drop a review after you've seen the show, or if you give their music a spin before the show. |

Hey H-Heads,
Anyone familiar with the music of Porcupine Tree? I've heard a few Buds talk about them but have not heard any. Looks like Kings X will be opening for them later this summer.
A new UFO disc is due out shortly, can't wait for the new PT...love the PT interviews cropping up lately.

RIP Rocky Hill (Dusty's brother)
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ent/6371553.html
Just found out my step dad Art has cancer and it sounds like they mean terminal. He's 79. Taking it pretty hard -- he's a pastor and believes in God strongly, but it's still breaking his heart. he just called to tell me this morning as I just got back from San Antone. We're going to visit tonight. Prayers please! |

No, I don't know any of the No Quarter guys, but I've heard of them. They tour around quite a lot, apparently! Speaking of... if you're near Seattle, we will be up there on May 29 at the Showbox at the Market Theater. Let me know if you'd like to go!
Johnny, happy belated, and hang in there, brother! Let your music help the healing, it can do wonders!
Cheers,
Steve Z |

Happy Birthday to you, Johnny Morse! I'm going through a lot of the same stuff as you are-impending divorce, selling my house for next to nothing, etc. But you know what? I'm one of the luckiest people on the face of the earth because I've got my health, my kids, my family, God, and tons of other things going for me. I'm moving this weekend to a city I've never lived in so I can be near my kids. And my soon to be ex-wife is getting ready to move to the same neighborhood I will be living in. At this point being that close to my kids is all I could ever want.
So hang in there! Things will be lookin' up for you very soon. You've got your extended PTB family here for you so post away if it makes you feel better.
Did I mention happy birthday? |

That San Diego is a great place. We'll definitely be back at least to visit. |

What do you call a deer with no eyes?
I have no-eye-deer.
What`s the difference between a dead racoon and a dead trombone player?
The racoon was probably heading to a gig.
Hey Pat, just a suggestion, how about putting up some background music here on "Pat chat"? Also, again just a suggestion, what about some video and recent pics being posted?
Mind you, these suggestions are from someone that had an unfortunate run in with a group of hungry zombies. |

Jeff, we must have been walking in right at the same time, too! We saw the whole Jonas Bros scene, and yeah, it was pretty funny. I was hoping they were there to actually see what a band with talent could do, but no... they had their own private party happening upstairs.
Rand, if you're going to my HoB show tomorrow night, email me before 5pm! My hard drive at home crashed, so I only have email access at work.

So I'm driving in from work today listening to the local classic rock station. Ever day around 5:30pm central, they have the "deep cut" of the day. It's an obscure cut that you woudn't normally hear on the radio. Well lo and behold they are playing "Help Me" from School of Hard Knocks. I about ran off the road. Apparently the local DJ has been digging Pat since he played in Jackson Tn. last year. So how about a show in the area guys? Memphis in May is tailor made for Pat Travers. Hint Hint. |

Cool Paul Gilbert vid, yes! Got to see him do that in Feb, just a couple of days after PT, at the very same House of Blues. Paul had his openers, Ritchie Kotzen & George Lynch join in, as well as Billy Sheehan & Pat Torpey from Mr Big. They did a bunch of other covers too, like Frampton's Do You Feel, The Who's Long Live Rock, Humble Pie's 30 Days in the Hole, and a few others too. That was one incredible show!
And in other news:

Any dates in the future for Florida? There seems to be fewer shows so far this year than in the past years. Heck, even a garage band (PT's own words) show @ Muldoons in Winter Park would be cool. |

I had ta take a double-take driving down the freeway the other day. It looked like some scofflaw was riding his motorcycle without a helmet. On closer inspection, I saw that the guy had glued "hair" to his helmet! nice
I heard that gREG got suspended for doing that in junior high school . . .
Shut up Kirk -- I know it's OBVIOUS that I haven't joined that club -- YET.
And YES folks, one of us caught the "Morse Code," and I quote:
"Atta boy, Morse!
Uh -- what day is this?
The Post Office must've gotten our addresses mixed up, because your Gold Record just showed up at my house . . . Will frame and hang it here until I see you.
oh yeah -- and gREG shaved and got a haircut.
LOL "
I rest my case.
Okay Pig and Captain K, on much prodding from bandmates and others, I have decided to break down and actually LEARN to play the bass. What I've been doing to it is illegal in most states and a few US territories, but is of course common in all Canadian provinces. Lesson One is tomorrow night. What I want to know is, do I drink the fifth of Jack Daniels BEFORE, DURING or AFTER practice???? Need yer advice . . . .

Johnny Morse finally found someone to listen to him when he talked dirty to them. That CC Deville guy is a helluva player but I guess every rose has its thorn. Good luck out on tour on the hair band circuit! LOL. |

Not a lot going on here. Any date on the release of the new CD? Anyone know why there are so few shows this year? I need a PT fix. Heading to Alaska for a week to go fishing with my dad.
Florida Hammerheads need a PT gig soon. Hope to hear of a release date soon, and a show in Pinellas County. Word of advice. Don't book at Jannus Landing. The promoter running the place owes over $250,000 in back taxes and the owner of the property is in process of evicting the promoter.
Gator's on the Pass on Treasure Island would be cool. Johnny Winter played there a few years ago.
Just on the other side of the John's Pass Bridge, a few blocks from my house.

Hey One Chad,
Typical....The only show on that list I'd bother with would be the James Brown/Apollo gig. JB was always great in concert. In fact, I'd probably put JB's Live in Paris over the Apollo show. I'm a huge JB fan. I suppose 2nd on that list would be the Allman Bros. Pat's GFWYK is certainly worthy of ANY best "Live" recording list, and it's always on MY list! |

Hammerhead suggestion #149:
as a stop gap between releases (Live In Europe & the new CD), how about releasing some of that live acoustic stuff PT has been doin' of late ... even the acoustic duo thingy with Kirk would be a treat to have on CD....

hi gang
Just checked the myspace page and see PT and boys are coming to Buffalo in August. That's news I needed right now. My company let at least 50 folks go yesterday. Some good friends I've made in the time I've been there. Not sure yet if I am on the fortunate side yet. Of course, I am, but still....
Anyway,Rodney, I'm looking forward to meeting you and Sean. Got to meet Kirk last time through about two years ago.

On another front - I didn't go to the recent PT show in Des Moines last month. Too hot, too humid and I'm too old!!!
But!!!, KGGO radio did play several PT tunes from the show the day after, so I at least I heard some of the show. |

Hey everyone, Rodney O here,
The poughkeepsie show went off without a hitch! Had a great time. Johnny Morse was in the house!!!! The show on the 9th in NY was cancelled weeks ago by the venue. They decided not to have any concerts for the rest of this year.
The new CD. It's mixed, mastered, ready to go.. Just waiting on powers above (Alexus Records) to release it. Just talked with them last week, they assured me that it was gonna come out soon. They are ready to finalize it and get the PR machine rolling to promote it. Keep your fingers crossed!!!

Hey everybody!! Long time no speak! Hope all is well with you. I have some self promoting to do & where better to do it.... but on my husbands site!! Hahaha!! So here goes... I did a movie here in Orlando, by some local Florida film makers & the movie is called Second Coming. It's a Horror Thriller. And I would love for you all to go out & rent it. You can get it at Blockbuster & Netflix.com or purchase it at Walmart. Also, if you would be so kind as to rate or vote on imdb.com & netflix.com to let them & the film makers know how you liked it. These people are just getting started... so be kind. The movie was shot in HD & totally looks amazing. I really think you will be impressed. I play the wife's best friend, Vivian. I think I have all of about 60 seconds, but it was the best time. Go out & enjoy some up & coming talent & support PT's wife... Me!!! Thanks guys!! :0) Also, you can get a sneak peek at www.vemio.com & type in Second Coming in the search box. It's the very first one with the guy with his hand on his mouth. :0) |

Pat's got a great band right now and you better believe he knows it! Personally speaking I think it's the best he's had in about 20 years. The power trio format was great but the addition of Kirk adds so much. It fills in the gaps and Kirk has a great stage presence and is tremendously talented. Rodney is a talent who has fun and his stage presence is as good or better than any other bass player that PT has ever had. We've all known for more than a decade what Sean can do. He knows Pat's material inside and out and can flat out play.
The thing I've always wished for Pat is that he find his own Peter Grant or Col. Tom Parker. Someone that will single-handedly work for Pat and get his name out there so that everybody knows who this guy is. I believe David Hemmings did this to a degree but I believe Hemmings had personal agendas and problems that railroaded Pat to a degree. It's pretty obvious that Pat has talent and this his window of opportunity for the bigtime has not passed. Pat just needs to find the right person and trust in him to get the job done. However, those kinds of people don't grow on trees in the modern era of popular music. Just my .02. |

Hey TonyD...
What would you suggest the current PTB players do should such a reunion occur? I wouldn't hold my breath for any reunion. It was attempted years ago when Mars was still in the band (this was during the Riggs era) and it didn't happen. Seriously doubt it would happen now. By the way, it was Tommy's collarbone that he broke. Lizzy must surely be bumming about having to back out of such a big show, for sure. |

Thin Lizzy were to open for AC/DC at Wembley and the O2 shows in London next month, but cancelled because Tommy broke a bone (don't know which)...well, it's a good thing those aren't huge stadiums...anyway they can go out on tour without Phil, but not Tommy?
The fact of the matter is that Pat is a waste of talent who deserves more than being stuck playing clubs.
Pat >> call Thrall, Tommy, and Mars and do what ever other 70s band is doing...REUNION!...give us die hards who never witnessed the original band a chance to see the true dream team.
...my 2 cents...rock on. |

Yikes! Well, that didn't take long. I'd really like to see the clip. I remember the first time I ever heard the album "Diary Of A Madman". It was at my brother's house when I was in high school. I looked at the inside sleeve and said to myself, "Damnit! Tommy Aldridge is no longer with the Pat Travers Band!". |

And speaking of those we lost too soon, here's a trailer for a documentary on the life of Randy Rhoads. There are some interview clips of Tommy Aldridge in there. There appears to be some controversary around the posting of this trailer, so it may not be up for long. I really do hope this film gets completed, it looks great!

That's no bullheck, Pigmalion. Weird. So do all the other celebrities breathe a sigh of relief after number 3? Seems to me they would . . .
Strangely enough, I saw a friend I hadn't seen in years today while at the building department. While catching up, he mentioned that he and another friend of ours had been working on a project for the guy who put up $7 million for MJ's new album effort. Michael had backed out on the album deal 'cause he "needed a house", and didn't pay the money back. They were trying to find a suitable place for him to live so he could write, and he ended up where they found him today. The backer was paying $100,00K per month for that house -- now maybe we have a better idea why . . . |

The boys really ripped it up at Snoqualmie Casino last Friday. Several of the casino folks told me it was one of the best selling rock shows they've had so far (They have only been open for about a year). As Badger's video shows, it was a rockin', although very short 45 minute set. Randal will be happy to know that Darren, Sandy, Bette & I had a toast for your birthday. Sorry you weren't able to make the gig. Big Ed & his gal were there and it's always good to visit with them. Glad you guys made it as well! Great to see the boys play a nice venue, as the last couple of times it's been in smaller bars. The casino had a big professional stage & room which looked to be pretty close to a sell out crowd. Nice indeed! Surprised that there have been no reviews of the Michigan gig posted here yet. Where's the Michigan crowd at?
Yo Rodney, how many times have you smacked the headstock of your bass on the floor slingin' that big hunk of lumber around? Lol!
Great show! Wish all of you here could have been at this gig! |

Hey jmroxx,
We were pretty bummed out when that show on the 9th fell through! The venue just cancelled all national acts for the remainder of the year. Well, that's what we were told.
Everyone that made it out in Seattle, thank you!! Wish we would have had more time to play! Next time!!!

Gettin' Bette! Great to hear from ya. Thanks for the voice mail message -- will give you a call later. Thanks to you and Piglet for the birthday greetings here. Darren, I'm counting your video as one of my presents!
BH, any review coming? I was thinking that Pat might join RD for a tune or few, but sounds like no from what I'm hearing.
JMROXX I hope that works out. I DO know you've been waiting a very long time!
Happy Belated Father's Day to all the dads here. I got to spend all weekend at the beach -- coming back to work today was a harsh dose of unwanted reality! |

Happy new year everyone! If you are imbibing tonight please be careful. Nobody needs a DUI or worse. On another note, I have discovered Pat is given guitar credit on a track entitled America on Keith Emerson's 2006 CD Off the Shelf. I don't recall this ever being mentioned here (then again my brain has had much abuse over the years LOL!)so I'm mentioning it. As you would expect it's heavy duty keyboards. Stay safe everyone, here's to an awesome 2010! |

Rodney, or anybody in the band What's the real deal with the gig listed for Feb 6th in Lincoln NE. I called the number listed for the Royal Grove and got some uptight redneck, who said I was calling a country bar. The guy was a real prick. I'd really like to go to Lincoln for 2 days and catch a PTB show. Was the posting on Pollstar a mistake? It's been a long 13 months since a PTB gig. Any information would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
Hmmm, I thought the new CD was going to be released in Feb. Saw on facebook today that it will be released in May.
Hope everyone has a happy and safe New Years Eve! |

Question for Mr. Rodney. Is the date in Lincoln, NE for Feb 6th a confimred date? Can't get any shows in FLorida, so I'll travel.
If it is then I'll be there. Lived in Lincoln for three years and had way to much fun in the city. Pat used to play in a club called Bo's Sundowner on the Cornhusker Hwy. Let me know please.
Airfare right now is pretty cheap for round trip ticket. |

Hey Mike,
Merry Christmas from this side of the pond.
Pat has said (or maybe it was Rodney?) that the Pat Travers Band will be over your way in 2010 sometime. Plus, new album "Fidelis" due out in Feb 2010 ......... personally can't wait..... |

A belated Merry Christmas to everybody on the message board from the UK - which is snowy, icey and not very nice weather wise at the moment, but, festive !
Let's hope 2010 brings us that long awaited CD, a UK or Europe tour, otherwise I am going to definitely go stateside for a dose of PTB ! Maybe the fans can have a PTB convention somewhere ???.....any suggestions ?? - cheers everyone !! |

Mars, I have Houses and another PT cover/ non-PT song I never see mentioned in here. Its from a soundtrack for Felix the Cat - Black Cat Blues. Pat does a track called "When the Cats Away". I think the song is perfect for Pat's style, one of his best non-PT songs, in my opinion. Anyway, I can burn you copy of those 2 and anything else you may not have (except that damn BANG BANG song.)Not sure if you can still buy the Cat tune online anymore, the store I D/L from went belly up! |

Happy Holidaze to all you crazy azz Hammerheads out there! You're a great bunch and I'm honored to call each of you family. Have a fantastic Christmas. I hope to meet a few more of you this coming year. Besides whatever your own reasons are for celebrating the holidays, let's all remember the reason that brought all of us together. The man, the myth, the legend...the one that continues to kick our asses year after year, Mista Pat Travers. Also, how 'bout a shout-out to "da boys in da band" who give PT the foundation to provide the whuppin' he serves up live, loud & in concert. Lots of amazing talent in this band over the years, and these guys with PT right now are to be feared just as much as anybody from the PTB history book. If you saw them this past year, I know you'll agree with me.
All the best, Merry Christmas and let's all have fun & rock this new year! |

Well, I'm sure Pat didn't and doesn't do these cover tunes for free .... while he doesn't get royalties and publishing (except for when he re-records his own tunes that he wrote), I would imagine that his "fee" was paid upfront for his services. He has talked briefly of how all this works and rest assured he is compensated (otherwise he wouldn't do it).
The re-hashing I could do without, but when there are new covers peppered throughout them, we fans at least have a choice to buy the whole thing or just download ala cart. Either way, revenue is generated.
In a perfect world, PT would release his own material with the occasional cover.
February 2010 is not that far off to wait for that new PTB disc "Fidelis" ..... ;)
Happy Holidays PT & family and all the Hammerheads here..... |

Hey Rocker ..... I hear ya, but I do want those 3 tunes mentioned below, so I will probably download them for a dollar each..... it's what I did with the Black Betty anthology(re-hash of Travers-n-Appice Bazooka) to get "205 Degrees", Whole Lotta Rosie" & "Black Betty" ..... that way I'll have some new PT for Christmas.....
Nobody delivers covers with such passion & originality like PT does .... |

Yes Pig, just another example of how Pat's career has been compromised. From 1 lousy Manager to the next, from bogus release to bogus release. The sad part is the guy is a great musician and songwriter, but those who only know his music casually, think crap like Black Betty and FAR WORSE, Bang Bang, are his tunes.
F.UCK ALL THOSE LEACHES WHO HAVE PUT THIS S.HIT OUT. |

Looks like from the tracklisting it's just Bazooka rehashed with the Black Betty vinyl tracks thrown in for good measure.
Million dollars sez PT wasn't consulted on this one either! How do these bogus "record labels" get away with this BS?
Just my little opinion, but I think these releases cheapen Pat's legacy. Those of us around here know what's up with these things, but what about the more casual PTB fan that doesn't really stay on top of these things? They must be thinking WTF?, not realizing that Pat has nothing to do with these releases? Let's don't even get in the discussion that Pat probably gets NADA from the sales of these, either!
I really hate this for Pat, but what 'cha gonna do? |

I'm not surprised on Pat "not" being consulted ... the Black Betty release was another re-hash (sort of) like the Boom Boom Out Go The Lights disc. They all have songs from Travers & Appice Bazooka CD (which was released in Europe under the Superstision title).
He did say that most of these covers were intended for artist tribute CD releases .... he was caught by surprise when he saw the Boom Boom & Black Betty releases ....
I hope to get him to sign it at the next show .... |

Hey MissingMars,
I looked at my Christmas list to see what's on it. I found coffee stains, and little drawing doodles that I always draw when I'm talking on the phone. Oh...and I also found a piece of cat hair and some lint on my list. So there you go! |

The Band last year changed Management and Booking Agency. Staying out the clubs and being more on the concert/festival circuit. There are whisperings of some big things around the corner. Keep ur fingers crossed!! |

Like I said, check out his FaceBook page. Look under the heading of pages not groups. Just type in Pat Travers Band under pages & voila.. they will appear. It's a great band shot of the guys! Pat's been posting a lot & he answers back! It's much easier on there. Hope to see you all there! I saw Blur... thanks Blur for posting!! :0) |

I had a bad PT dream (well, actually it was a thought, not a dream) Could there be any chance that the lack of any shows on the schedule is due to perhaps Pat being discouraged over the problems releasing the new cd? Monica,Pat, Kirk, Rodney, someone please let us know he is not throwing in the towel! Now that would a nightmare! |

John Morse is actually quite the guitarist himself and a regular poster in these here neck of the woods....

Jeff, great to meet you Sat night, thanks for hanging around afterwards. And yes folks, he did have his PT shirt on!
Rand, next time keep your bud away from those Vodka Crannies so you can stick it out to the end, lol! I hope he's well rested now.
Happy Monday all (...NOT)

Just bustin your chops there Randal. Dream away!! (My mother would say, never eat tuna before going to bed, it will give you strange dreams)
You were right; Led Zepagain was a kick in the ass! Steve Z is the Man! Didn’t miss a lick! I was truly impressed as was the packed and enthusiastic crowd! Nice to meet Steve after the show as well. I would highly recommend this show!
I’m curious to know if PT has had the chance to see them. Would love to see PT cover a Zeppelin tune with Steve invited up to jam with him! |

As a senior and a member of this here mess board, I concur WTF is a fb page, my dreams are very personal (kinda). I had a dream once maybe twice about a custom made les paul jr/sr/cool/dbcutaway, but it did not have a floyd and it was not pink, tho in this very sane dream a bunch of casters were telling me not to cast aspersions. then I hear the phone ringing and I answer it but it still keeps ringin. At this point I have come to the conclusion that I am still dreamin, so I continue to sleep, then I wake up and some fool is cooking coffee, it smells very good then I remember I am still asleep.
One day I may figure this strange dream out, but for the good of mankind I hope I don't.

I've had dreams about PT usually following a lot of pizza, wings, and beer......not necessarily in that order. I literally listen to PT every day so I guess it's inevitable that he's in some of my dreams. But like Randal my PT dreams remain musical in nature with nothing that would make me wake up the next morning questioning what in the hell was that all about?! |

Alright, PT's stalker list is growing I suspect (if he actually has one) ... LOL!
Never had a dream with him in it, so for that I'm a bit jealous ....
Although I have imagined that if I was financially secure (yeah right!), I would become a PTB head and follow them around on tour (no matter where they were playing) ....
I guess I'm probably on that "list" at this point? |

Monica and Jeff -- okay, I'm dumb. Couldn't remember exactly what "foobar" means, so I Googled it. I really meant "FUBAR," a military term for -- let's say -- "Screwed Up Beyond All Repair." And YES that's what happens to your life when you get a Facebook page, so that fits! LOL
Yeah Kellyman, amazing how vivid they are too. I still remember the one where I walked on water so I could taxi Pat to his next gig, then ended up at a hotel on the Oregon Coast partying with Pat, Rick, Eric and close members of the PTB Family. Yep -- that was probably at least 5 or 6 years ago . . .
Last but certainly not least -- GO DUCKS!!! Awesome win over the formidable and slap-happy Beavers. I'm lookin' at going to the Rose Bowl -- oddly, they would have played the Holiday Bowl here if they had lost, but gimme the Rose Bowl up the road any day.

Hey Monica and the clan -- I just awoke (yeah, after an all-nighter for a big deadline) from another interesting PT dream. Pat was in town, but a couple of local punks had tried to abduct him and a sidekick (never saw his face). The punks took them on a short joy ride and then Pat and company got away. I asked how they did it, and Pat said "I kicked their ass!" He told me that they had heard he was in town from yet another dumb punk, and they had a stroke of near-genius in deciding to grab him for ransom. Then PT wanted to show me a new Strat of his, and we were getting ready to crank up a small party "PT Style." I was checking into getting him a gig booked for what would have been tomorrow night. The dream morphed as we walked next door to check out the Strat. We walked into a partially-completed apartment complex (20,000 units -- that's ALOT) that a contractor friend of mine was gonna finish. I was just putting together what would have been a very nice fee estimate when I woke up. No contract, no PT -- but AT LEAST I woke up! Strange, vivid and cool !
Say hi for me! Lookin' forward to some Best Coast shows
And no, FB doesn't stand for Facebook - it stands for FooBar

I`d also like to add to that safety list, and I speak from my own personal experience. If you smell the stench of rotting flesh while walking down a dark street at night, turn around and run as fast as you can,...the stench might be from....ZOMBIES!!!

Because of recent abductions
In daylight hours, refresh yourself
of these things to do
in an emergency situation...
This is for you,
and for you to share
with your wife,
your children,
everyone you know.
.
After reading these 9 crucial tips,
forward them to someone you care about.
It never hurts to be careful
in this crazy world we live in.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :
The elbow is the strongest point
on your body.
If you are close enough to use it, do!
2.. Learned this from a tourist guide.
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.
Toss it away from you....
Chances are that he is more interested
in your wallet and/or purse than you,
and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,
kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole
and start waving like crazy..
The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.
This has saved lives.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars
after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit
(doing their chequebook, or making a list, etc.
DON'T DO THIS!)
The predator will be watching you, and this
is the perfect opportunity for him to get in
on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,
and tell you where to go.
AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,
LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..
If someone
is in the car
with a gun
to your head
DO NOT DRIVE OFF,
Repeat:
DO NOT DRIVE OFF!
Instead gun the engine
and speed into anything, wrecking the car.
Your Air Bag will save you.
If the person is in the back seat
they will get the worst of it .
As soon as the car crashes
bail out and run.
It is better than having them find your body
in a remote location.
5. A few notes about getting
into your car in a parking lot,
or parking garage:
A.) Be aware:
look around you,
look into your car,
at the passenger side floor ,
and in the back seat
B.) If you are parked next to a big van,
enter your car from the passenger door.
Most serial killers attack their victims
by pulling them into their vans while the women
are attempting to get into their cars.
C.) Look at the car
parked on the driver's side of your vehicle,
and the passenger side... If a male is sitting alone
in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back
into the mall, or work, and get a
guard/policeman to walk you back out.
IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)
6. ALWAYS take the elevator
instead of the stairs.
Stairwells are horrible places to be alone
and the perfect crime spot.
This is especially true at NIGHT!)
7. If the predator has a gun
and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN!
The predator will only hit you (a running target)
4 in 100 times; and even then,
it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!
8. As women, we are always trying
to be sympathetic:
STOP
It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,
well educated man, who ALWAYS played
on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.
He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often
asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle,
which is when he abducted
his next victim.
9. Another Safety Point:
Someone just told me that her friend heard
a crying baby on her porch the night before last,
and she called the police because it was late
and she thought it was weird.. The police told her
'Whatever you do, DO NOT
open the door..'
The lady then said that it sounded like the baby
had crawled near a window, and she was worried
that it would crawl to the street and get run over.
The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,
whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'
He told her that they think a serial killer
has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax
women out of their homes thinking that someone
dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it,
but have had several calls by women saying that
they hear baby's cries outside their doors
when they're home alone at night.
10. Water scam!
If you wake up in the middle
of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a
burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your
outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and
then attack.
Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!
Please pass this on
This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because
the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on
America 's Most Wanted when they profiled
the serial killer in Louisiana
I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.
It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle..
I was going to send this to the ladies only,
but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc.,
you may want to pass it onto them, as well.
Send this to any woman you know that may need
to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it
and it's better to be safe than sorry.. |

Very sorry to hear about your Mother Jim. It sounds as if you had time to come to terms with her passing, if that's possible. My Father is battling bladder cancer and it looks like it is starting to come to a gracious end. We do all we can to keep him comfortable and let him know what he means to us. When the time comes, I hope I have come to those same terms. Deepest sympthies. Chad. |

This is not PTB related, but my mother passed away peacefully in her sleep Sat Nov 21st after a brave battle with multiple meloma cancer.
I'd like to thank everybody here for the kind words and support.
I'll never foget her telling me to turn that noise down (Pat Travers Band) You're going to end up deaf. Here we are thirty years later and yep, I'm partly deaf in my left ear.

Finally found the last two pieces of the band puzzle and will start working material to record next week. Man its been far to long and my itch needs scratchin. Hate the set up take down but the playing is great. Bands name will be (Ithink) Spectrum since we cover bout every possible type of music. I know I know, the band needs to find a style and stay with it,a direction. WHY. I love doing anything from light jazz to funk and kick your ass rock. Makes for an interesting evening. Cheers, Kg |

Thanks Rockpig, caught the Rockline stream, great stuff. The show was killer, as you can tell from that show! They did everything from the debut Montrose album, plus a couple from Paper Money, and Twenty Flight Rock from the 3rd album. Great to see Ronnie back in action, and so glad to hear he's recovering!
Tonight, it's Joe Perry at the House of Blues!
Here's to a Happy Turkey Day to all!

Hey Brian Maybe,
Montrose was just on Rockline this past Wednesday. Check it out, because they have a condensed version of the show streaming for the next few weeks. They played live in the studio, like PTB did when they were on.
Ronnie has Keith St. John on vox and Mick Brown (ex-Dokken & Nugent) on drums. Forgot who the bass player was. Keith was doing a very good job on the old classics, so it should be a good show you'll get to see. I've seen Ronnie a bunch of times, he's always reliable. Kinda like another fella we know around here!
The biggest shock of the entire interview was that Ronnie is recovering, or has already recovered, from prostate cancer! He sounded positive throughout the interview, so I think his head's in a good place.
The link to the Rockline website is...
WWW.ROCKLINERADIO.COM
Enjoy the show & give us a review if you have the time! |

Drummz, the last word from Rodney was Feb 2010 for the new CD.
Going to see Montrose tonight, in Redondo Beach. Not sure who's in the band or what to expect, but I've always been a big fan of Ronnie's, so whatever he does should be cool!
Then it's Joe Perry next Tues!
Happy Friday!

In an effort to get some discussion going here I dug up some very rare PT photos. First, here's a few from the Barry Dunaway Myspace page. These would be sometime between 1983 to maybe 1986.
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewTaggedPhoto&friendID=17 7469156&imageUserID=393364665&imageID=25852956
In this one check out Pat Marchino's tshirt that says "I'm not Pat Travers". LOL! It would be interesting to hear from PT what the event was in this photo.

Rich Gamble, current PT setlist:
1. Kickass opener
2. Rockin' follow-up
3. "Hello, good evening and welcome!"
4. Something cool
5. Something even cooler
6. Something REALLY cool
7. Stevie
8. Kickass 8th song
9. Snortin' Whiskey
10. Boom Boom
11. Killer encore

Hey all, checking in after some nice travelling & recovering. We had a great time at the Loud Park Fest in Tokyo, as well as our own club gig there a couple nights later. Pics of all the acts are up at http://www.loudpark.com/09/gallery/
Then it was on to Guam for another couple of shows and some nice relaxing & snorkeling, before ending up playing Halloween weekend in Vegas. Now I'm back to the work routine, and sure loving it (NOT!).
JimK, all the best wishes to your mother, and to you.
And Rand, hit me up the week of the HoB gig, see you there!
Here's to a great new PTB CD next year!
Cheers,
Steve Z |

Hello, SH.
Rodney (bassist) posted August 10 and 17, verifying the approximate release schedule:
"New CD is scheduled to be released Feb 2010. The Label has deemed that to be so. They are discussing possibly releasing a single or two before years end."

First off, JimK we're all thinking of you and your mother. Our prayers are with you. I had a huge scare with my dad a few weeks ago and it's no fun.
Secondly, nice to hear the show went well last night. And Sean's 4 year old singing to open the show? Now THAT'S rock 'n roll! Very cool and I know Sean was one proud papa that played his ass off last night.
Thirdly, I'm just glad to read something about a gig. I'm jealous of you Floridians. |

Hey Rodney, thought I'd let you know that I've had to cancel my trip to Jax Bch. My mom is back in the hospital near Winter Park with kidney problems. She's been fighting cancer for the last seven months, and now is having some complications. To top it off the oldest of my two cockers, Joe E. Cocker (10yrs) needs to have surgery to remove a mass from near his butt. Pay for the dog or go to to Jax? Easy decision for me. Family and pets come first. Hope that maybe the PTB will get over here to the West coast of Fla. At least the hotel will give me a full refund. Was really looking forward to it.
Wow! I'm actually going to go a full year without see even one PTB gig! I'm so disappointed I won't be in Jax on the 11th.
For those going to the show, enjoy it. Every PTB show is a great show! No two are the same! |

I haven't see that page, but I'm guessing that it's John "PTB Stalker" Howe's page. |

So there really is a Pat Travers Band stalker....YIKES! Is that the PTB Stalker on Myspace? He does have pics of the band, along with other bands, in his pics section.
I`ll bet the show tomorrow night a Eola Park there in Orlando will be,.....SPOOKTACULAR!!! I`ll bet the band even knows "Monster Mash". Sheeesh!

Question for the band or anybody that might know-isn't Jake Hooker booking for the PTB right now and the one that put on the showcase in Tennessee a few weeks ago? I looked on his website and there's no mention of Pat Travers anywhere. Color me confused.

Sorry Randal, can't help you with any info on Daltry's bandmates. Myself, I've not been a big Who fan, but I do have "Who's Next" and consider that one a brilliant album. Classic through & through! Did see the PTB do an improv jam leading off the encore of a show back around '87 or so and Pat led the boys into a snippet of "Won't Get Fooled Again". Pat did a fantastic "Yeeeaaaaaaahhhhh!!" that Daltry does so well in that tune. Gave me goosebumps, and I'll never forget it. |

Saw Roger daltrey last Sunday night, on the "Use it or Lose it" tour. The band was:
Simon Townshend - Rhythm guitar, vocals (yep, -- Pete's little brother)
Frank Simes, Lead Guitar / Musical Director
Jon Button - bass
Loren Gold - keyboards
Scott Devours - drums
The show was very entertaining -- great music and alot of funny moments with Roger. One to see if you can. Any of you know anything about the other gents in the band? |

Kegger,
I hear you on the RTF covering "Amgwanna..."
Randal...besides B flat, I also know B sharp, which is really C, so that makes THREE notes I know. Nyuk nyuk. |

Good to see the cover suggestions flowing again. Here are a few I had written down a while ago... Pat does 'em best obviously, but it would be fun to hear these.
Hammerhead - Motorhead (For obvious reasons, and Mickey Dee could easily handle the drum workout. Plus, I kinda get a laugh out of the Motor/Hammer head connection.)
Blues Magnet - ZZ Top (Rev. Willy G is the only other person I can imagine working this track. Yes Suh.)
Runnin' From The Future - Tommy Bolin (The musical arrangement is similar to something Tommy might have done, and the particular lyric "Well I never think of dyin', though I know that it's a fact. But if I don't stop my speedin', oh I'll stop and I'll never come back." is kinda cryptic against how Tommy's life ended. Besides, Dennis MacKay produced albums for both Pat & Tommy, so you know it would sound good.)
Life In London - UFO, Schenker era. (I bet UFO wishes they had written this track! Except for the little fact that they're native Brits...well, 'cept for Schenker. He was German and didn't mix well with the other guys, so maybe it's just Schenker who wishes he'd written this song. Right?)
Heat In The Street, Wiser Man & Hooked On Music (GFWYK live version) - Steve Stevens guitar & Doug Pinnick vocals. (Give Steve's latest solo effort {Memory Crash} a listen, and you'll understand why I picked them for this track. Steve is so underrated because of his association with Billy Idol, but the man is an amazing tone hound and he's got great chops.)
I Don't Care - Alice In Chains (Complete with the downtuned guitars and the minor third harmony vocals.)
Disappear - Stone Temple Pilots (Wicked groove and interesting guitar solo. I'd like to hear Dean DeLeo give this a workout.)
Dedication - Sgt. Pepper era Beatles with Billy Preston on keyboards. (Sounds weird, but I can kind of imagine a cool arrangement of it where a lot of the guitar lines are played instead by all kinds of different instruments in a Fab Four style. Especially the segue into the second part of the song...very cool.)
We'll let Steely Dan give "Off Beat Ride" a go, while The New York Dolls get ragged on "Life's A Funny Old Dog".
And for a couple of "out of the box" choices for Randal...
Purple Jazz/I Don't Wanna Be Awake - Frank Zappa.
Snortin' Whiskey - Robert Johnson (Long-ago-dead, authentic, rickety rural Delta acoustic bluesman. It'd be interesting to hear Robert do a version of this track in his style.)
* Hidden bonus track on the CD.*
Gettin' Betta (GFWYK live version) - James Brown! (Pat his own bad self on guitar with The JB's, and James doing his "Hit me one time!" BAM! "Two times!" BAM BAM! "Three times!" BAM BAM BAM! schtick that he used to do so well. The ultimate rock/funk track for the ultimate funkmaster.) |

The other quitarist is indeed Joey Jelf. As to others covering PT, I don't know. I honestly don't know if there is anyone who could truly do any of Pat's music justice. On the flip side, it is perfectly ok for Pat to cover anyone as 9 times out of 10 Pat's version is better than the original. How's that for being biased? |

hmm -- I must concede to my elders on a few notes
too bad the only one Piggly Wiggly knows is B flat
yeah,okay, but it was funny to ME! heh heh heh
First off, yeah I would agree that Crash and Burn would be a good Floyd remake. David Willmore (aka Steve Z), any chance of Which One's Pink taking a run at that -- kind of a pre-demo? You could send it to David AND Roger, see which one bitches about it the most, then call HIM to actually do it. Just a thought . . .
Blur, thanks for the kudos. I was trying to think outside the box. Hard to do with PT since in many ways he DESIGNED the box, but . . . this cover idea is a very intriguing concept.
So Pig, yeah the Dolls were a stretch, but that suggestion was really tongue-in-cheek. I was (for fun) thinking along the lines of "Puss and Boots", "Trash" and "Jet Boy," if you can get yer tired arms around that . . . let's try that next time I get up yer way. Ya think?
Oh yeah -- my last two suggestions --
Born Under a Bad Sign -- The Kegger Memorial Band
Snortin' Viagra -- Drinkin' Rogaine -- The gREG and Jimbo Jazz Quartet of Greater Dallas
s'all I got. Ms. T - say hi to yer hubby and tell him we all cain't WAIT 'til he rocks our lazy towns. See how dumb we get when he ain't around? GEEZ!!! Hugs to Apollo and greetin's to the chilluns
BTW -- what'll they be for Halloween? Just wonderin'
One more thing -- Steely Dan was LOTS of fun. Pretty obscure studio guys, but as you'd expect the musicianship was there. Okay, let me put THIS one out there:
Which PTB tune should Donnie and Wally cover???
I'll take a stab after you do! : )

Played at a memorial for a musician who passed this last Sat. Really good musicians but the best part is I finally got to play "Born Under A Bad Sign" It was through the roof and more fun than I expected. Sound guy recorded the whole thing but I understand the film and music were quite out of sinc so I guess no U-tube(L0L) Piggy,how bout the original line up of return to forever doing Amgwannakick booty? Cheers all. Kg |

Hey Blur,
I thought Pink Floyd would be good for Crash & Burn as well. Slow it down just a bit and really Floyd it up. Can't imagine the New York Dolls covering that one! Was gonna post it a few days ago, but the whole idea of people covering PT songs seemed to kinda not really take off as a discussion around here, so I dropped it. Thanks for opening the discussion up again Stehmbo. I was thinking Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush would do a proper job on Material Eyes. I can certainly hear it.
I'll be out all weekend, but will post my list of other songs I'd like to see other bands cover early next week. Until then, everyone have a great weekend... |

Nice selections there Mr. Stehm! I thought about Pink Floyd for Crash and Burn because it sort of reminds me of a more advanced PF song to begin with. But I never thought about Material Eyes. That's a really cool song and not one that we talk about very much. |

I know, I know
we're all tired and it's late, and when I try to be cool and clue in the newbies, somefolk get twisted into a bunch, fuggit here's my list:
- Material Eyes -- Pink Floyd
- My Peach Pie -- Little Feat with the Late Lowell George
- Wiser Man - Al;ice in Chains featuring William Duvall
- Elijah - Chickenfoot
- Take Me to the Pilot - Elton John
- PT Nuts - Pigpen and Company
- I Tried to Believe - The Firm
- Heat in the Street - Thin Lizzy featuring William Duvall? huh -- that would be fun to see
- Evie - Deep Purple with Whitesnake (double-bill all-star jam -- leave Tawny at home puh-LEESE)
- Crash and Burn - New York Dolls (what's left)
okay -- back to your cynically-monitored stations |

Yikes -- awful quiet in here.
I just spun "Hot Rocks" while workin' late, and am now digging "PT=MC2." Got a wild hair to shop for drummers, on accounta mine seems to be more dedicated to his first band. Craigslist looks purty good -- will see. Stevie Viable, aka Jimmy Pagemaker, just saw a post that you played last week at Pala! DAMN -- I had that show on my list! Sorry I missed it bud. It ain't that far -- saw Chickenfoot/Queensryche there and am taking the missus to Steely Dan tamale night, so nope it ain't that far.
I'm SURE you guys had a great show! Rush tribute and -- what was the other band? Sounded like one to see. Will ketchup witcha soon!

Found this on Myspace watching videos of early 80's New Orleans bands on a buddy's site...a videotape of a band called Melange doing a decent version of Rock n Roll Susie in 1980-81. It says 83 but these guys broke up in 81. Vocals aren't bad, the drummer kicks ass...Enjoy.

Hey Mike O'Brien,
I hear ya on missing the mighty PTB ..... there are places stateside in the same boat .... but truth be told, he's been to the UK & Europe several times (?) in the last decade .... not sure if he's ever been to the land of the rising sun. Having said that, if you ever get across pond, do let us know here, so at least some of us can hook up! Nothing cooler than hangin' with imported fans!

Hey Kegger & all Hammerheads!...... ever see the camcorder footage of PT & Steven Tyler playing at some biker benefit? A little banter between the two, audio is a bit distorted but a cool "you are there" kinda vibe.... search YouTube, I think it's still there somewhere .... There's also a concert poster floatin' around somewhere with Aerosmith (Crespo & Dufay lineup) and Special Guest PAT TRAVERS.... so there's definitely a bit of history between them .... cool stuff! |

Paul Gilbert has covered lots of PT songs in concert. One song I'd like to hear him do is "Hooked On Music". There's lot of open space in that song and a virtuoso like Gilbert would do some cool stuff with a song like that.
"Go All Night". That's now my choice for the Chili Peppers. The rap-style vocals are perfect for Anthony Kiedis. But I'm not sure that guitar player could do that riff justice.
I think The Who or Sammy Hagar would be cool for "Evie". |

There's no guitarist on this planet that is more lyrical/melodic that Jeff Beck, and this is a very lyrical/melodic song. |

Interesting choices there, Blur. Glad to hear you're having fun with this.
I'd think Metallica (even though I don't really care for them) would be an interesting choice for "Guitars From Hell".
The other choice that comes to mind would be The Edge from U2 doing a version of "Electric Detective" because his whole sound is almost entirely based on those repeating delays, so it would be kinda cool to hear what he'd do with that track.
More later as I think of 'em... |

I think Metallica would be a good fit for "Life In London", especially since Kirk Hammett lists PT as one of his major influences.
I'd like to see Foo Fighters do "Hammerhead". I think that would be a nice fit. FF is one of the few modern bands that I really enjoy. Dave Grohl's energy is perfect for a song like that.
Danko Jones would be cool for "Snortin' Whiskey". I'm not sure how many of you have heard him but he's a PT fan from Canada who is a straight forward rocker. Those types are rare these days.
Red Hot Chili Peppers would be interesting for the funky stuff like "Need Love" or "Gettin' Betta". My big concern would be the vocals. Anthony Kiedis would be a good candidate to totally butcher PT's vocals.
I think Soundgarden would have been cool for "Heat In The Street".
Led Zep would have been cool for "Stevie".
How about The Who for "Makes No Difference"?
Just shooting from the hip. This is fun! |

Still kind of quiet around here, so I thought I'd throw out a topic for discussion, just to get the wheels turning around here...In the past we've discussed what songs we'd like to see the PTB cover. After watching the video of the Japanese band covering the Travers classic, I got to thinking...Who would you like to see cover a PTB song and what song would it be? It can be any band/artist...somebody current, or a band that's broken up and is no longer together, somebody that is deceased, any genre (country/jazz/death metal...whatever!). Should be interesting to see what you guys suggest. I'm still thinking about what I'll suggest...
Let the game begin... |

AH hahahahahahaha
that is EXCELLENT! And just in time for the holidays. But -- how'd they get Rodney in there, so life-like? Looks just like him. And that's PT with the red PRS and on the doghouse, right? I'll go back in and take another look at Sean. That must be Kirk on the piano . . .
PERFECT! |

heh heh heh -- this is from personal experience
For any of you who don't know where to find PTB clipart, please allow me to offer this primer:
On the login page, in the left-hand column, second section down, click on "Formatting."
Scroll down to the 12th section entitled "Images, Attachments and Clipart." The third item under "Description" has a link to (index). Click it and paste away. By the way, there is alot of other great information on PTB website stuff in this location, so you might find other useful data for uploading, etc. Thanks to Ed "Edley Lamarr" Tierney for laying all this stuff out for us, many moons ago . . . |

Hey Zombie -- not offended, I'ze just sayin.'
Cool of you to say so --
I've had the good fortune and pleasure of seeing Kizzirk in the early days with the PTB, quite a few times in between and most recently a few months back at the Jumping Turtle. While initially there was alot of way-finding going on, (and I kinda thought PT was readjusting after doing the 3-piece thing for so long), Captain K has continually and dynamically established himself as PT's shredding sidekick. I've watched him evolve, grow, entertain and amaze -- better every show, which is sayin' somethin.' The most fun part about watching him play those ripping leads, aside from the heck-eating grins that pass between he and Pat, is to note that it actually LOOKS like a zombie is eating his brain as he plays. Trippy, cool stuff. IMHO
In fact, he often looks alot like this: 
sometimes like this:
but NEVER like this:
  
Like I said before, I'm pretty sure he could play all that stuff "the last time you saw him" -- like this:
hahahaha !! 'night folks

This is in no disrespect to Kirk and Rodney...
but the fact of the matter is that PT should hook up with Tommy, Mars, and Pat Thrall for a "one-off" gig...play at The Whisky and film it for a future DVD...by doing so it pleases the die-hards, introduces the Pat Travers Band to a whole new generation of kids, it will push the PT catalog and kick Polydor in the ass...PLUS it will provide enough publicity for PT and his future projects (with Kirk and Rodney)...if other 70s bands can do the "reunion" gigs AND venture back to their solo careers then why not PT?
What's Tommy Aldridge doing now?
What's Mars Cowling doing now?
What's Pat Thrall doing now?
I'm certain many publictaions would pickup on a Pat Travers Band reunion...Rockline would! |

Hey Zombie ate my brain, I've been to that BBQ/Ribfest in the past when PTB played there.
I'd rather fly to Jax, hang out with some old friends at the beach, and then go see the PTB on Nov 11th at the Jax Fair. I don't live in Tampa, I live on the barrier islands of Pinellas County.
Nice line up for the BBQ thing, but I rather see a PTB show anytime. Looking forward to seeing Rodney, Kirk, Sean, and the man himself Pat Travers in November. It's party time in Jax Bch! |

Missingmars - Don't encourage PTB to go to Japan before they have come to the UK !! They have n't done Europe this year, and unless there is a change of plan, we will be starved of PTB music for 12 months - Jacksonville ain't quite local for us in the UK - but you never know,I have been looking at how to get there from Manchester, England - honest ! |

Thanks Missingmars! Tony has nothing to do with the PTB. His agency is Buddy Lee Attractions and his manager is Jake Hooker. And Kirk is an amazing guitar player, who blends in perfectly with Pat. It's almost like they become one! Pat loves him. This band is by far the best band Pat has had in such a loooonnnnngggg time! And he plans on BIG things happening with these great players! Thanks guys for being such die hard fans!! :0) |

Hey Monica,I mean Mrs. T... (old Happy Days reference from when the Fonz use to talk to Richie's mom)...
It shouldn't be too much trouble to get the Pat Travers Band over to Japan (they do Europe after all). There are a number of other bands of a much less caliber than Pat doing this very thing. Have Tony Lopez (or whoever Pat is working with stateside) contact one of the many booking agents currently working the Japanese market and they'll throw out a contract for Tony to accept (or not...)
Then have the whole thing recorded for a live CD/DVD type thingy ..... |

Yo Zombie,
A song that EVEN Pat's "side guitarist" could PROBABLY play? REALLY???
I don't think there is anything that Pat's "side guitarist" (AKA Kirk, by the way) can't play.

JimK, I take it that you live in Tampa Florida, and that St. Petersburg is nearby. Early next month George Thorogood, along with Blue Oyster Cult, are playing at a big bar-b-que festival in St. Petersburg.
A favorite George tune that Pat should cover.

Okay, PT fan talk 101:
Anyone here ever get out all your PT albums & CDs and cover your bed or floor with 'em all?
Being the big kid I am, I did it the other night whilst playing some PTB and having a few cold ones (kids were in bed...yeah!)...... and I must say, it's quite the grand spectacle ... sort of adds to the whole PT enjoyment thingy ...

So everyone -- gREG resurfaced through an email to me earlier today. He's living in San Antonio now! Sounds like he's doing well -- he's going to see three days of Alice Cooper in Vegas Rocktober twenty-somethingth. Glad to hear he's okay. Now about Jimbo . . . ???? |

Been so busy, haven't checked in here much lately, but hope Pat & the guys are all doing good. Still waiting on that new CD!

Found direct flights between Tampa and Jax. Got a oceanfront room in Jax Bch. Looking forward to seeing some old friends from the beaches. Going to bring a few to see the band. A very old classmate was giving me a hard time about being so into PT. I basically told her to FO! Hope the venue is indoors? Let me know Rodney please. At least it won't be more than a year since I saw y'all at the State Theater in downtown St. Pete.
I'm only going to see y'all one time this year. That is an all time low for me. Hoping for more shows in FL & CA in 2010 |

GAD DAMN IT JOHNNIE! That was MY bike! You rotten bastard ya. And YES I want it back
Okay, so I have a bit of non-PTB news if you'll indulge me. I will preface by saying that (and it should go without saying, but for those who don't know me that well) PT always blows me away and leaves me grinnin' ear-to-ear after each and every show. Being a part of the PTB Family is an invaluable and indescribable bonus, BUT the music is what draws us all and Pat CONTINUALLY blows my mind with his artistry, his intellect and with his keen ability to recite entire scripts of Ren & Stimpy on demand. (hey -- Apollo bears an uncanny likeness . . .)
now then -- prepare yourselves for the non-PTB stuff
*** NON-PTB REPORT ***
OMFG -- Just got back (some hours ago) from Queensryche opening for Chickenfoot. (Sound of blown head gasket being repaired with Krazy Glue and feminine napkins). Umm . . what to say? First off, I have been a QR fan for twenty years, but this was my first live experience. YES!!! I absolutely LOVED the show. MAN those guys are spot-on!! My ex-guitarist but still-buddy Tom and his wife were with me. He had little prior exposure to QR (airplay only but no recognition), and he was duly impressed. Tom's an excellent guitarist in his own right, and we had a killer dueling-lead thing going in STEHM, but WOW those guys are tight! GREAT set and GREAT show -- Harrah's Rincon in cae you're keeping score.
Chickenfoot -- I wasn't sure WHAT to expect. I hadn't heard ANY of their stuff until the trip up (by design), so I was wide open to what I might see and hear. Some idiot in a green tutu rushed the stage (no wait -- uh -- I mean -- uh -- good to SEE you again gREG) and then the show started. (Not really on the gREG scene, but that COULD have happened and yes the show started).
Man oh man! It was a given that I was going to see Queensryche for the first time, BUT my second objective was to see Joe Satriani being the guitar guy. CHECK! I heard more than one person wondering aloud whether "he can measure up to Eddie," and -- HUH? Are you HECKING me? Wow -- Joe is so far out there that no amount of rehab will give Eddie a shot at dueling leads. I don't mean to be cruel or dismissive -- I only mean to say that Joe was THAT on. What struck me was his attitude about just being the lead player and not the star -- he was loving it, and the entire band was playing off of that sassiness. Of course, Chad walked in the room with that attitude, Sammy had a shot (no -- bottle) of Cabo Wabo (STRANGE that it was the only tequila for sale in the house and Michael Anthony stepped WAY up in holding down the bottom for the stellar cast. We split at the end of the regular set, but heard Montrose's "Paper Money" on the way out the door. Haven't had that much fun since the Jumping Turtle! I heck you not. WOW --- If they're headed your way, GO. Even if you're on the fence, go copulate yourself and go anyway. Oh wait -- they DID mention that tomorrow in SmellA is their last show. (gulp) So umm . . . uh -- STEVE! GO! I couldn't help but wonder who might show up -- SmellA is always cool in that sense, if in none other . . .
I s'pose the rest of you chilluns will have to wait until the next time they decide to gig . . they did say they think they will.

Mr Rodney. I have a question for ya. Is PTB the headliner for the 11/11 gig at the Jax Fair? I going to try and be there for the that show, but only if y'all are the headling band. I'd have to take Amtrak to Jax. I can fly there via Miami, Philly,and then to Jax for just over a grand. Amtrak is $30.00 each way. I grew up in Atlantic Beach, so Jax is my home away from home. |

Hello from the Uk - I managed to aquire from a Record Fair at the weekend a cd "Pat Travers Band " with Mick Rogers called "The Jimi Hendrix Experience". Recorded at Almelo, Subrosa, Feb 20th 1998. 6 Jimi tracks + Snortin Whiskey, Boom Boom. Ther are 4 tracks from Mick Rogers. The price, a more than generous English 1 pound - what an utter total bargain !! Anybody else got a copy ??

Somebody here mentioned awhile back about Johnny Winter playing in St. Petersburg Florida on Oct. 8th. As per Pollstar, that show has been moved from the financially troubled Janus Landing venue to the State Theatre. I just don`t want someone showing up at the wrong place for the show.
Johnny still plays sitting down, but has made an amazing recovery from all the years of drug and alcohol abuse.
By the way, I see there`s a movie coming out soon, starring Woody Harrelson, about a crew that fight zombies!!! Where was this crew when I needed them!?!?!? Sheeesh,....too late now!! |

Blur thanks for the heads up on the PT show on youtube!!!
I have a PT audience recording from My Fathers Place 1978 on PT B-day,the band is on fire.They do about the same set list but statesboro blues and johhny be good are the encores.They sing happy birthday to Pat at the end of BOOM BOOM and it appears they bring him a cake on stage.I'd be wiiling to trade some shows if somebody would like it.
Pat please come to Northern Ca soon,I need a fix!!! |

Very cool! Saw my first PT show at "My Fathers Place" It was a couple of years later I believe, 80 or 81. From what I remember it was Pats birthday and 1/2 way through the show a bunch of little people dressed as The Seven Dwarfs came dancing out on stage with a cake. At least thats the way I remember it! Might have happened, might have not! LOL |

Nothing like your first gig with a new band being recorded for a radio broadcast! Would love to find a really clean first generation copy of that show. Lots of great shows were recorded at My Father's Place there in Roslyn, NY.
And that latest Rundgren CD "Arena" has some very good stuff on it. The track he played on the Letterman show was not one of the better tracks, but the CD as a whole is pretty strong. |

Your welcome Mrs. T...... always happy to help out ...
Knowing Todd, he was probably going for that "horrible" sound ...... like Pat, he was never much for resting on his laurels and was always pushing the musical envelope ... here's a clip of him from the David Letterman show recently .... doing his heavy/hard rock thingy ... check it out ....

Guys, the first PTB gig ever with Tommy Aldridge on drums has been posted in its entirety on Youtube. It's a radio broadcast from back in the day and is really cool to hear. Here's a gem from the show that I never knew Pat had in his setlist at one time. Another highlight is the evolution of "Boom Boom" from the Rockpalast footage to radio hit just a few years later. The version from this show is somewhere in between the short version on the first album and the live version on GFWYK. Overall, the energy is amazing and you can tell Pat is digging having Tommy Aldridge in the band.

Pretty sure that's Michael Shrieve on percussion. He contributed on Crash and Burn as well as Radio Active and I'm pretty sure he toured some with PT as a percussionist during that era. It would be interesting to hear how the Todd Rundgren thing came about. As far as I know that's the only time they worked together. PT looked like he had a great time. I call that the "George Thorogood haircut era" for Pat. ;) |

The Pics are from PT Stalker. That was from the Benefit show in New Symrna Bch,Fl on Sunday. Some local acts played,then I had the chance to play Bass w/ Gary Hoey ( fantastic guitar player), Tommy Curiale (Rick Derringer's Drummer)Bryan Bassett (Foghat) and Dean Aicher ( Brian Howe Band) before doing our set to close the show.
Great event, lot of Love in the place! It's nice to be able to lend a helping hand to a dear friend to the PTB Family and the Fla music community. |

Some guy just put up a bunch of pics from last weekends gig on his Myspace page. It`s a big picture album with some band playing in a club at the beginning, but later on it goes into Pat`s show. It must`ve been some sort of all day jam session going on before Pat took the stage, as Pat`s bass player is jamming with a few guys. Looks like a few guys jammed with Pat too.

Hey Monica! That was very cool of Jeff to find that for ya. Sure was a crack-up watching Pat -- it looks like he was about to jump out of his skin! hahahahahaha
Just got back from a couple of days camping in the San Bernardino Mountains. We weren't near the fire zone, but drove through areas that had been devastated in recent years. Campfires are prohibited, everywhere up there, due to the high fire danger. We camped near Lake Arrowhead which is a very cool (but private) mountain lake.
So Tuesday night we used lanterns for light and six candles as our "fire" -- good enough for marshmallows, but the lack of a campfire was a big letdown. We had the entire campground to ourselves, with not even the hosts around at all.
It was pretty freaky at night, with all the critter sounds we heard. Jake and I were in our tent, and we kept jumping up with the flashlight to see what was out there. Didn't see a thing. Jayson (who had 2.5 year-old grandson Corbin in his tent) told me in the morning that he had heard kind of a rolling grumble, RIGHT next to his tent. We checked the campsite for prints, and saw quite a few paw prints about baseball-diameter. On second glance, I noticed that they were accompanied by some serious claw prints. We had been visited and checked out pretty well by a mountain lion! YIKES Needless to say, we decided not to stay again last night. We'll go back, though, as soon as the fire season is over. |

Hey peeps! I'm hoping that somebody, anybody can help me in finding a copy of Pat playing with Todd Rundgren on SNL, way back in April of '80. It was during Todd's Healer album. It used to be on youtube awhile back, but for some reason it's not there anymore. Just thought I would try here. Hope everyone is doing well! :0) |

AHHHH. IC. It's got to be brutally tough to make a living these days in the bar/restaurant business. Drunk driving and underage drinking laws are tougher than ever, and rightfully so. Back when I was in high school we used to laugh about drunk driving and barely making it home. These days it's no laughing matter and the bar owners are easy targets for those irresponsible ones that get liquored up and get behind the wheel. |

Yeah, that's where the band played in so. cal. It is near cal state san marcos. Too many young people and booze ect. Hopefully they'll stay out of trouble because theres not alot of venues in north San Diego County other than the Casinos. I would drive out to the reservations to see PTB fer sure. |

Hey Jeff. How about the first part of the Gettysburg Trilogy by Iced Earth. In the middle of the song they do a guitar version of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" It is on the "Glorious Burden" album. The album also has the national anthem for an intro. |

Hey Rodney, how about us West Coast Fla Hammerheads? Jax fair in Nov? To far to drive when ya don't drive.
I'd settle for the State Theater in downtown St. Pete, but Gator's on Treasure Island would be killer. Can't believe I haven't been to a PTB show yet this year. What gives with the no Florida / California dates this year? Just wondering. Still have plenty of PT cd's to drive the neighbors nuts! |

I need to evoke the help of my fellow Hammerheads.
For a video project I'm working on, I need to find a hard driven rock version of a song that would normally be played by a military marching band. Something like "stars and stripes forever" or "anchors away" anything with a military theme. Something equivalent to PT's version of "The Fifth" or Hendrix "Star Spangle Banner" only with a military/marching band song.
Perhaps PT and the boys can lay down a few minutes of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” for me? I can make low weekly payments! |

I think "Freedom" is a medley of different songs with the Sons Of Champlin song being the base of the song. I also think it incorporates Richie Havens version as well with the "Freedom" chants. The Havens version is famous from Woodstock, but thankfully Pat didn't do the whole "motherless child" thing which I think is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.
I also think (and this is a total guess on my part) that I hear an Elvis riff from his Las Vegas years. It's a bridge between the Sons Of Champlin part and the part that I can't figure out. That part is where the lyrics go something like, "You've got to carry yourself through the door. You've got to be yourself, see yourself, freedom!" I've googled those lyrics in every way imaginable and I keep coming up empty.
Maybe Pat or Monica could help us out with this one. It might help liven up this place. |

Hey Piggy! How are you doing? I saw a show back in 1974; and it was a promoter "fubar"- they opened with The Sons of Champlin{Bill Champlin, now with Chicago}-and the headliner was Slade; an English glam/rock band. You had two totally different fan bases, and attitudes. Slade had the songs, Cum on feel the noize(sp) and Ma Ma Ma were all crazy now(sp); that Quiet Riot made popular 10 or so years down the road. Hope all my PT friends are all doing well-all my best Big Eddie |

Hey MissingMars,
If I'm not mistaken, the song you're asking about ("Freedom" from DFTA) is by a late 60's band called Sons Of Champlin. They were a crazy mix of the 60's San Francisco Haight-Ashbury scene with a heavy soul/R&B influence. And they had a brass section kinda like the band Chicago did. But they also did some folky kind of stuff that was so prevalent in the late 60's. I have no idea if any of their catalogue is available on CD. You'll have to research that. The only reason I know about them is, when I was about 10 or 12, an older kid in my neighborhood had an album by them that he played all the time. When I heard Pat's version, I kept thinking "Where have I heard this before?", and it finally dawned on me about 3 years later! Okay, no silly comments about my slow thinking! LOL!
If I have the wrong band, maybe Pat will post to correct me. But I think this is the band you're looking for. |

"Freedom" from Don't Feed The Alligators....
What an inspired vocal performance from PT ... not to mention the amount of music and changes in this tune ...there must be at least 3 different tunes within this song (with all the key & tempo changes) ....
Love this song .... who did it originally? |

We had hoped it would have been out by Spring, but due to things that we had no control over, the release date set by the Label is Feb 2010. Believe us, the delay of this release is killing us!! |

Hey Rodney ! If the new cd gets out before the end of the year, are you coming to the UK to do some gigs ? You see, some of us loyal fans need to book time off work so we can do the lot, especially if they are midweek. Loved the Ferry, Glasgow last year - awesome ! Hello to all Hammerheads out there - best wishes from the UK.
cheers everybody- Mike. |

Just saw that Les Paul has passed away at 94. Really hard to imagine how music would be these days if we didn't have the contributions of Les. Can you imagine no Les Paul (or electric) guitars, no tape echo or no multi-track recording? Amazing what this fellow accomplished.
RIP Les... |

Pig -- the jury's till out on me makin' it to Yakivegas, but I'll let you know if I do. Want to get up to the Whistlin' Disco and stick my toes in the water, just to day I did . . . haven't forgotten about the brush fire -- that'd be a perfect place for it. |

Glad to hear that Rodney. I too was relunctant to do the facebook thing but admitedly it is kind of fun. This place however is like an old bathrobe, I dont want to throw it away...its comfortable.
If anyone told me in 1980 that PT's best stuff was 30 years away I would have told them to put down the bong. Fidelis just plain rock! Instant classic! Cant wait for the tour! |

Everybody show ED big time Love for everything he has done on the site and for maintaining it so the Hammerheads would have a place to call home!!
Yes, we have migrated over to FB, and it's really great that PT has become addicted to posting to the Peeps, but don't give up on the Website!! Ed is passing the torch on and new things will be breaking soon on Pattravers.com. We'll keep you posted. |

I check in from time to time, less so as more time goes by. You can D/L "Fidelis" at WWW.LALA.COM and it'll only cost $7.49. They take credit cards or Paypal. It's totally easy to do, and the entire process takes hardly any time at all. Worked effortlessly for me last night, and today I've been blasting it in the car. Sounds really good. You heard it yet? And to answer your other question, yeah, most everyone's migrated over to Facebook. Some of us were reluctant to do the Facebook thing, but we all succumbed, and it's turned out okay. Plus PT gets on there and posts on a fairly regular basis. Come on over. You too, Ed.
I still deeply appreciate this site! Met plenty of great people here. |

Well the new CD has been available for download for 5 days now and no mention at all here. Guess its safe to assume this board is officially DOA.(again) Sad but life goes on. "Fidelis" kicks ass by the way!!!!!!!!!! |

Hey y'all.
After eight years and 426 posts on this website, I pulled the plug six weeks ago. I had to look up the word "loquacious," and it hit a nerve so I decided to wean myself of that nasty habit.
Quite a few peeps have moved to Facebook, including the band, so I keep in touch there.
Chad, Ernie and anyone else who wants to contact me, please use randaljayehm@hotmail.com or call me at 619 571 3786.
It's been a great run, lots of fun. I've developed quite a few life-long friendships here. ED -- thank you for carrying the load for so long. Hope you'll get back in touch sometime soon. Thanks folks! See you at a PTB gig down the road |

Anybody know anything about Michael Kelly guitars? I played one today and was mighty impressed. It was the Patriot Premium. Brand new top line with a hard case. $849.00 sticker, but I can probably talk them down. I know I can get one cheaper on ebay, but I like to play before I buy. I have had great Gibsons, and I have had awful ones. Can't substitute that hands on feeling. |

Yeah, I second CT's request for the 1980 stuff (Reading?) and the Sight & Sound stuff from '77. Only video I've seen of the Sight & Sound stuff was in pretty rough shape .... the audio however that is on the BBC CD is primo ..... |

Count me in! Long Beach I'll do for sure, Modesto is a bit of a journey. I'm thinking perhaps another show or two in the area will pop up around those dates. Canyon Club was awsome last year, HOB perhaps? |

Thanks Specks! I concur....
On another note (literally..), has anyone here had the chance to listen to the Best Of Pat Travers the Millennium Collection from 2003 9wow ... 7 years ago already...)???
Anyone looking for a sonic upgrade on 12 of Pat's polydork tunes should definitely grap this .....
The Crash & Burn selections (title track, Snortin' Whiskey, Is This Love) shine the most with lots of sizzle ... I remeber using that album back in 1980 as a demo album to show off my system .... even back then it was a sonic marvel (recorded at 30 ips .....) .... the rest of the tracks also better their original releases sonically .... |

Got yer back T......
Hey all you sleepy Hammerheads, don't abandon us hardcore fans ...... maybe everyone is over in Facebook land? PT has been posting quite a bit over there ..... good to see.
Just got done listening to PT & Carmine's "Bang Bang" for the umteenth time .. and I must see it has become one of my guilty pleasures .... the guilt is going away and what I'm hearing is a really nice tune ... heavy in the chorus fer sure ... complete with PT's signature guitar sound all over it, not to mention Carmine's thunderous drum fills ... I only wish Pat sang the lead (who is it anyway?), but still nice to hear him doing the backups .... |

Hey All,
I've been out of the PTB loop for a bit, but decided today to download three PTB shows off dimeadozen.org -
- PTB, San Francisco, 5/25/80
- Pat Travers 1985-07-04 Norfolk VA
- Pat Travers 1998-02-19 Copenhagen
I think I already have these shows, but hopefully they are better gens than what I have.
I've read comments on Dime that other dimers would like to do a PTB flood (always have a PTB show on the dime front page). I want to encourage them to do so. I suspect the commentors read this board. In the past I used to up a PTB show a week on dime and if a dime flood happens, I'll jump in on it too.
Also - I was going through a box of old vcr tapes the other day. I came across a PT w/the Carpetbaggers video; I think it's from the nineties, PT has that short haircut.
This is the first time I've ever viewed it - way back then when I was trading hot and heavy I'd receive so much s*** there was no way I'd ever be able to watch or listen to it all.
There's another vcr tape labeled 'PT Basement Rehersals' - I haven't checked that out yet and a three others that are just labeled 'Pat Travers'.
I think these tapes are probably 15 years old and I'm unsure how many times they will play (if at all). I need to get a video card to transfer the Carpetbaggers video. Does anyone else on this list have this show? If it's already out there I won't bother.
I think the other tapes are audio recordings on vcr tape so those tapes can go thru my soundcard and I can see what those may be.
I haven't read this list in six months - there are some cool links for PTB stuff and I see Randal is loquacious as ever. :smile J/K

Hey all
This website is not made by the snorkels, haha.
We got an e-mail from a friend and told us about it. We have no idea who made this. My website is known, but maybe good to mention one more time

Hope you like that too.
