Author Message Bruce Posted on Monday, July 01, 2002 - 12:16 am:    Sorry the concert page hasn't been updated the last couple of weeks. They are moving the servers that hold the page and have been having problem after problem getting it back up. The page is currently up BUT I still can get in to update. Ive been told I will be able to update later in the week. Sorry for the inconvence. Just got in from seeing one hell of a concert. It was called A Walk Down Abbey Road - A Tribute To The Beatles. The performers played some of there songs the first half of the show and played nothing but Beatle songs the second half. The band was Alan Parsons, Todd Rundgren, Christopher Cross, Mark Farner (Grand Funk) and Jack Bruce (Cream). WOW!!!!! They rocked the place for 3 hours. Hope to see you all New Years Eve. Have a meeting with the Fiesta Bowl next week to finish up all the loose ends. Can't wait for Pat to rock in 2003. Take Care All Bruce The Snorkels Posted on Monday, July 01, 2002 - 01:08 am:    Richard:http://www.sonicfish.com/ The Snorkels Posted on Monday, July 01, 2002 - 03:27 am:    TODAY:PAT TRAVERS,MOLLY HATCHET and NAZARETH http://www.palacenet.com/index.cfm?category=2&CFID=77642&CFTOKEN=47133356 Randal Posted on Monday, July 01, 2002 - 09:58 am:    RIP JE Hard Rock Hotel is in Vegas -- is that the gig? hmmm -- that would be a trick for me but as always, as maybe . . . R Shiva Tonemonster Posted on Monday, July 01, 2002 - 08:11 pm:    Snorkels, Thanks for supplying the info. Ed, Would it be useful or possible to also, at least in some cases, include who PT might be playing along with as the case with the concert tonight in Detroit? That should be a good one. Talk about classic flashbacks. Ginbel Posted on Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 04:07 am:    Hey Dutchies, Did you get our email last week about the pics? The Snorkels Posted on Tuesday, July 02, 2002 - 07:03 am:    Hé Ginbels, June 16 was the last mail I recieved from you, so not last week. Tell me more. the dutchies. PTB ROXX!!!! Randal Posted on Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 01:47 pm:    Cain't find any information on the Hard Rock gig. Where'd you hear about it? Lemme know PTB Stalker Posted on Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 02:57 pm:    There is a Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando also. I E-mailed Rick twice in the past couple of days trying figure out who`s on first , but so far no reply. I imagine Eric & Rick are pretty busy, being that they play in 3 bands (PTB, Derringer, 7th fold). I`ll try calling them this evening, but I`ll probably only get a answering kumpewtr. I read on the Derringer site that the gig on the 14th of this month in New York ain`t gonna happen. PT was supposed to play at da same gig. Hey Ginbel, could you give PT a jiggle and see whats what? Man, I hope they hurry up and get the carburators re-adjusted on the gigs server soon! EnglishAl Posted on Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 03:41 pm:    Hey guys, thanks for the heads up on the Daytona gig, am I sad or what? Here I am in Orlando with all the hotels arranged for a nite in Daytona and I'm on my own, no PTB, no gig!!! Any info on the Orlando gig much appreciated, but I'll try to find out something at this end (from the Hard Rock) I'm stuck with the vagueries of my hotel computer mind. Al EnglishAl Posted on Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 06:28 pm:    OK... There's no PTB gig at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando, and far as I can tell, theres no venue at the hotel itself, so it doesnt look like its Orlando. Let us know for sure guys! Al Cindy Posted on Wednesday, July 03, 2002 - 06:51 pm:    Eric said Hard Rock Hotel is in Orlando FL next to Universal Studios. that is for tomorrow, check out the post on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pattravers2/ Specksmagoo Posted on Thursday, July 04, 2002 - 06:03 am:    If tomorrow all the things were gone I worked for all my life And I had to start again With just my children and my wife Thank my lucky stars To be living here today Cause the flag still stands for freedom And they can't take that away And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'ld gladly stand up next to you And defend Her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A. From the lakes of Minnesota To the hills of Tennessee Across the plains of Texas From sea to shining sea From Detroit down to Houston And New York to L.A.

I'm hoping that we can get it moved over to PT.com by the end of next week sometime. Der Webführer Ed Shiva Tonemonster Posted on Monday, July 08, 2002 - 09:12 pm:    A request. Over the past couple months, I have seen some tremendous pics of PT and the band - Cindy Burton, John Howe, The Snorkels, etc. I am looking for the ultimate PT pic with just PT (Eric and Rick play some mean bass and drums, do not get me wrong) for him to sign at one of the upcoming No. Cal shows coming up in August. I am looking for a high quality 8x11 or larger pic of PT playing live preferably, though I will consider studio promo shots as well, that I will do justice to by framing nicely and hanging up on my guitar wall of fame with the likes of Randy Rhoads, Paul Gilbert, Montrose, Malmsteen, Schenker, and others. If you have a pic which you think would fit my needs please direct it my way and we will gladly work out the $ details fiftymkii@earthlink.net Rockin' Roy Posted on Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 05:24 am:    Everyone... As all PTB fan's know...any set list by PTB is a great one, BUT, if you could add a few tunes we haven't heard live lately (or ever!!), what would they be? Here's a few of mine- "I'd rather see you dead" "Blues Magnet" "Wasted Years" "My life is on the line" "Look me up" "Who'll take the fall" "Can't be Right" The Snorkels Posted on Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 05:58 am:    INFO FOR THE AMERICAN MUSIC LOVERS!!!!

Had a thought, considering some of the different "phases" of PT's recording career, what are people's favorites? I've got this: Polydor Years (1st album through Hot Shot) Favorites: Puttin it Straight, Go For What You Know, Black Pearl Blues Bureau Years: (Blues Tracks though Don't Feed the Alligators) Favorites: Just A Touch, Lookin' Up! There is also the "Jerry Riggs Years", which includes School of Hard Knocks and Boom Boom Live (and all the different reissues). This era had some awesome live shows that I got to see! Cheers all! Steve Z The Snorkels Posted on Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 01:21 pm:    Hello all, If anyone wants to see PTB playing in BB Kings Blues Club and Grill in New York, vote on BB's site on PT, maybe he'll get there once...if it's interesting, of course. Just discovered the site, cause of a great Dutch blues-guitarplayer, Julian Sas (gettin' really popular in Holland), but for the love of PTB, voted on Pat! Not for any use for us, naaah, what the heck. The more PTB play's, the better. Well, have a look at http://www.bbkingblues.com/suggestartist/suggestArtist.cgi PTB ROXX!!!! The Dutchies. Tony Y Takano Posted on Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 03:00 pm:    When I asked Chuck Ruff (EX Edger Winter Group)about a lost recording with Pat, Chuck himself kindly replied to me on Edger Winter's board as follows. Dear Tony, This is a true story!!! I played for a brief time with Pat and Mars in late 1980. Right after I was (quit/fired) from the so called "sammy hagar band". The next day John Bonham died......... SO!!! I thought I'd tear myself up and go on down .......... Really weren't no use in me hangin' around ,now, any how....... We recorded an "S" load of live in the studio stuff like "Politician" and "Whiter shade of pale"... I wonder what ever happened to the tapes??? Tommy Auldrich and I have been star crossed from the old days. I go one way he goes the other... Kirk probabley knows the story better than I......... Kirk, Why don't you tell the story and I'll fill in the blanks......... Love, Chuck The Snorkels Posted on Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 03:06 am:    30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 Hello everyone, Today it's Wilma her birthday So partytime tonight!!!!!!

Shiva Tonemonster Posted on Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 10:43 pm:    Happy Birthday Wilma! Received your email thanks for the suggestion, Andries. PT fans are genuine. You guys are great. Hey Tony- Great info! Who is Kirk, Chuck is talking about? PT fans, is there any way of following up on Tony's post. What DID happen to those tapes???? Who will know? Imagine PT doing "Politician" and "Whiter Shade of Pale"... Ginbels, see if you can GET AHOLD OF THOSE TAPES. Count me in as the first purchaser when you do! Robben Ford (and who knows who else) did a version of Politician that just smokes, I have heard there are tones on that song that has elluded guitarists for years. Hey John Howe, Shoot me a post. I like the pics you shot of PT in Orlando. fiftymkii@earthlink.net I was listening to My Life is On the Line while I was working out the other day. Would LOVE to hear that one when they come to play the No Cal shows. Talk about a natural high. That Radioactive cd just kkillllss! What's that Steve Z?... you left it out as one of the favs for the Polydor years. Definately agree with the others you listed during those years but when I think of pure, hard-hitting, raw playing, Radioactive stands out. Some of the best tones PT gets can be heard on that cd. I really like Black Pearl but there does seem to be a transition occuring from the raw, pure guitar tone to more processing in BP when that began to be the hip thing to do. Ginbel Posted on Friday, July 12, 2002 - 04:43 am:    Can you imagine all the material that is sitting in a drawer somewhere? Kinda makes you sick. Radioactive is my favorite also. Kind of has a punk feel to it. I don't mean the music. I really mean his attitude toward the sound.(If that makes any sense) Seems he tried to keep that edgieness(?) with Hot Shot, but fell short and came up glam and geeky(to me). NOT my favorite album(Hot Shot). Anyone hear anything about new material? Shiva Tonemonster Posted on Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:26 am:    Hey Ginbel- I am with you, what IS going on with the new material not that we want them to do a rush job? Just that with things being how they can be it would be nice to hear if the new material is at the same point it was at weeks ago, ready for recording, etc. It is nice to hear from the boys occasionally rather than it appear as if this site is solely reserved for PT fans who ramble about this or that. I cannot see where posting here is a problem like it could have been in the past for them.?? How about the Cunning Stunts band material? Someone could really have their work cut out for them doing the research into how to get ahold of the material mentioned. The Snorkels Posted on Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:27 am:    Hé! Thanx for the best wishes! You're all wonderful. Thank you. :o) Wilma :o) PTB ROXX!!!! Richard Posted on Friday, July 12, 2002 - 06:54 pm:    hey everyone the Pt bio has been redone on the Rockforever.com, it looks really good, check it out, who is going to skullbone? Richard Posted on Friday, July 12, 2002 - 07:03 pm:    man that black pearl was pretty raw guitar Pat was back with a vengence, that album kicked ass it is one of my favorites. you know pat is probably working a lot he is playing in 2 bands raising a family, and would you rather have a fast put together cd or something that has a little bit of time and thought and effort? Ed Posted on Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:43 pm:    Just "flew" back from Vegas and boy are my arms tired! No more vacation till August Happy belated Birthday Wilma! BTW - The gigs page is going to be moved... the old URL might still work might not... hopefully we can get it moved by the end of next week. I'm trying to get confirmation on the Concord gig. As soon as I hear anything I'll post it.... The bio over at rockforever.com is pretty darned cool if ya ask me Well gotta run... Ed Posted on Friday, July 12, 2002 - 08:53 pm:    Richard - you should hear "Black Pearl Live" if ya wanna hear some awesome guitar.... A little diddy called Amgwanna Kick Booty on that comes to mind! Tony Y Takano Posted on Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 01:03 pm:    Dear Shiva Tonemonster Kirk is the site organiser for the Edger Winter site. He may know something more than Chuck does. Richard Posted on Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 04:33 pm:    yea the bass on that live cd especially that song is awesome, I am glad i got to see mars play twice once in 1978 and once for the school of hard knocks tour. Randal Posted on Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 05:44 pm:    PTB kicks ass Richard Posted on Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:53 pm:    allright my road trip is planned, is anyone going to the skullbone gig in tenn? Hooked_On_PT Posted on Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:56 pm:    You are right he does which is why I'm askin'... Can anyone with PT's schedule tell me if he's playing anywhere on or about Sept 14? That's my 40th B-day and I'd like to go see him if I can. If I have to travel far I need to start making plans. thanks! bill PTB Stalker Posted on Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 08:05 am:    Hey Shiva Tonemonster, I just e-mailed ya the universal gig pics. It`s about a 2mb file so if you`ve got a 56k modem, it`ll tie up your e-mail for about a half hour, depending upon true connection speed, while it downloads to ya. I just wanted to give ya a heads up. Enjoy, John "PTB Stalker" Howe Shiva Tonemonster Posted on Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 12:58 pm:    Hey Howe, Got those pics a few minutes ago...great!! Thank you!! Wonder what PT will say when he goes to sign it? Now all we need to do is get PTB to come back around in November and play The Roadhouse. The owner did not want to book him too close to The Boardwalk show and would like to have him play outdoors under the stars - the time of the year here when it's just right, no jackets needed and shorts are pleasant to wear. who knows... OneChad Posted on Sunday, July 14, 2002 - 04:56 pm:    Hey Richard, you know I will be at Skullbone. My computer got bit by lightning so I am on a friends computer right now. When I get mine back up we will email and work on getting together. By the way PTROXX oh yes he does. Blur Posted on Monday, July 15, 2002 - 05:19 am:    Things are really quiet on the PTB front. Sure would be nice to hear from someone on the new cd or exactly what is going on.

How did you hear about the concert? bill Brian Maybe Posted on Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 01:20 pm:    Shiva - intersting take on Radioactive to Black Pearl. I always saw it more as the Radioactive guitar sound being the transition to Pat's Black Pearl sound, then to Hot Shot, which was a little more straight forward sounding. Radioactive had all those sweeping digital flanger and delay effects, which he mostly ditched for BP. I do like Radioactive a lot, but at the time it came out, was dissapointed at the breakup of the Thrall-Mars-Aldridge lineup. So it never became one of my favorites. Probably my least favorite of the era is Hot Shot. It's good, but didn't have the variation in songwriting that the prior albums had. Just one a-holes opinion... Cheers!

Let me know if I can help out, I really appreciate that. Brings back memories. I'm besides myself trying to figure out why so many of the songs were still recognizable after all these years - I use to have both of those nearly 20 years ago! I plan to ask PT, but I believe those flanging tones from Radioactive are strictly analog. As I reflect back on it, Radioactive represented the first album where PT relied on a heavy amount of chorusing for his rhythm which he continues to use to this day. You can really hear where PT was unrestrained by the two guitar line-up of the previous band which, to this date, is one of my all time favorite. Beenabar Posted on Tuesday, July 23, 2002 - 07:29 pm:    I'm currently trying to have the Iron Maiden web site and their biography (by Mick Wall) corrected to show that the Pat Travers Band, not Maiden, were the special guests to UFO at Reading 1980. They have asked for proof and I have e mailed them the advertisements and articles before the festival but due to a house move I can't get my hands on my copies of the reviews of the actual performances. Does anyone out there have a copy they can scan and send to me? beenabar@yahoo.com Beenabar Posted on Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 10:15 am:    Re: the Iron Maiden amendments - my e mail is beenabar@yahoo.co.uk and not .com I'm always making that mistake Brian Maybe Posted on Wednesday, July 24, 2002 - 04:47 pm:    Shiva, glad you got the disks ok! Yeah, I used to go see Y&T at the Keystone in Palo Alto all the time, and those discs bring back a lot of great memories for me too! You really think those heavy sweeping flanger tones on Radioactive are analog? I remember on that tour seeing rack effects for the first time in Pat's rig, and those didn't sound like the old A/DA flangers he used prior to that. Either way, it was definitely a different sound he went for on that album, and yes, I think in large part it was to fill up the sound of the trio, after playing with the 4 piece lineup. If you get to ask Pat what he was using back then (and if he remembers, after all this time!), let me know! I really wish I could come up to Sacto & San Jose for those shows, but I just can't get away then. Cheers!

Steve Z supergac Posted on Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 12:41 pm:    I just thought I'd say howdy to all the PTB fans out there. So HOWDY -supergac Shiva Tonemonster Posted on Thursday, July 25, 2002 - 02:41 pm:    Hey Steve, I made that statement regarding analog interpolating from PT's '79 setup and the sounds from the disc. Click under miscellaneous on the site here and read through the c.'80 article. Those sweeping flanging tones are likely coming from both the delays and leslie or just delays.? I intended to test that out through my setup a while back, but I have since gotten sidetracked by other tone discoveries and projects. Let me know what you think. Bruce Posted on Friday, July 26, 2002 - 01:49 am:    Greetings All Just wanted to let everyone know hopefully and yes hopefully the concert page will be up sometime next week. Sorry to all for the problems. I have no control with the server I have been using. So with Ed's help will be posting the new page on the same server the main web page is currently on. Waiting on some software. Not much new here to report. But I could use some help from everyone. I'm going to put together a new t-shirt for the New Years Eve show here in Arizona. Give me some feedback what you would like. Email me with your ideas. E-mail address blfrye@msn.com Hopefully will be talking to Pat tomorrow to get all current show dates. Might make the Texas shows.

Brian Maybe Posted on Friday, July 26, 2002 - 07:56 am:    Oh yes, the 1980 Guitar Player interview, I remember it well! It used to be my rock & roll guitar bible back then! What he describes there is the setup he was using during the Crash & Burn era, in which, yes, the Leslie's played a big part in the sound. For Radioactive, though, he revamped his setup pretty drastically. I'm not certain, but I'd bet the Leslie's were gone from that setup, and it was all processing. Probably still Marshall amps, though. I was always curious to know just what he used for his Radioactive setup, as it was a pretty different sound from Crash & Burn. Definitely curious to know if he still remembers, if you get to chat with him next month! :-) Cheers! Steve Z PTB Stalker Posted on Friday, July 26, 2002 - 04:54 pm:    Hey Bruce, Thanks for all yer work regarding the gig dates! I do hope that is up and running again soon. I live in Miami and was going to go up to Daytona on July 5th for a show there, but it was postponed until sometime in September. Any info on gigs, venue web links and such, is really appreciated! I do hope the September Daytona gig is a "go", I do so need a PTB "fix"!!! I checked my frequent flier miles with Delta Airlines the other day and it seems that I`ve got plenty enough for a free trip to Arizona! PTB Stalker Posted on Friday, July 26, 2002 - 05:10 pm:    I just answered my own question! I just went to www.bandshell.org, and the PTB is scheduled for Saturday, September 7th in Daytona!!!

Especially, Radio Active was super among others. I knew all of the songs as I had listened to it out many many times long time ago but it still sounds very fresh and new !! It is a great rock album ! Putting it ..... and Black Pearl are also great!! What a stupid record company they are who did not released these amazing CDs ever. Anyway,Thanks a million for the CDs. !! EnglishAl Posted on Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 03:05 am:    Hey Stevie Z and others interested in Pat's gear, I've always wondered what happened to the famous Melody Maker (Puttin it Straight etc) which I saw him play to devastating effect in the 70's. He said in an interview in 1980 or so over in England that it was stolen in New Orleans, but according to muso sources in Orlando, he broke the guitar and it wasnt the same afterwards and he sold it on. Anyone know for sure?? Al Blur Posted on Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 11:21 am:    EnglishAl-I believe the Melody Maker was recovered by a private investigater several years later after it was sold. I believe it was sold on Ebay a year or two ago along with a couple of PT's other guitars. Apparently he didn't use them any more. Blur Posted on Sunday, July 28, 2002 - 03:51 pm:    My original message should have read "after it was stolen". EnglishAl Posted on Monday, July 29, 2002 - 09:53 am:    Thanks for the info Blur, much appreciated. I wish I'd known it was up for grabs on e-bay. I owned another of PT's guitars some years back and had to let it go. I've always regretted it. Al LadyCougar21Mom Posted on Monday, July 29, 2002 - 10:44 am:    Hi all, I just saw PT in Skullbone, TN on Sat. night and it sparked my interest enough to find the web site. I am ashamed to admit that I had never really listened to PT before, but had heard my brother talk about him often. My brother is a musician in Orlando, Fl and I spent 24 years living in Daytona Beach. I moved to a burb of Memphis, TN about 5 years ago. The week before the show in TN, I happened to be in Florida visiting and caught my brothers band at Muldoons. After a set, I told my brother that I was going to the Skullbone show to see PT and Ted Nugent the day after I got back. My brother said that "FreightTrain" had been in the club a few minutes ago, but had left. At the show Saturday night I had a roadie get Eric and we got to meet and talk for a few minutes before they went on. The band blew me away! They were fantastic! My 19 year old son who plays drums was with me, and said that seeing FreightTrain and Tommy Cleuftos was great. I love introducing the young'uns to the masters that influenced the bands they are listening to today...(we love Creed) My question is this: If you didn't have any PT music in your library but wanted to get a few cd's that would give you the highlights of a career, which ones would you buy? They played a bunch of songs that rocked, but I didn't know any of the names except for one that I heard Pat mention he wrote for his son, Elijah. If any of the guys in the band read this, I am Carolyn...Richie Parker's sister. My husband and I do their web site and I have seen the pictures of Pat and Eric sitting in with them. For anybody in the Orlando area, the band is The Big Unit, and they play in various clubs almost every weekend. You can check out their site by going to: www.thebigunit.org I hope to be able to visit the board on a regular basis and thanks in advance for the advice on which cd's to get... Take care, Carolyn Mathis Rockin' Roy Posted on Monday, July 29, 2002 - 01:14 pm:    Carolyn, Thanks for the review of PTB'S Skullbone show. Great to hear he's still winning over new fans...once you go with Pat you never come back..(forgive me, I couldn't help myself). PT CD Must have's: Go for what you know, live Crash and Burn Putting it straight Black Pearl Blues Magnet Looking up Halfway to Somewhere Amazon.com has most of 'em or email Ginbel and he'll fix you up. Rock on!! Tony Y Takano Posted on Monday, July 29, 2002 - 02:06 pm:    PT should be in Japan by now for VCR shows !! Takashi, can you let us know how he is doing in Japan when you see him!! Tony PTB Stalker Posted on Monday, July 29, 2002 - 04:00 pm:    Just got word from Julie, of Julie fame, that PT will be sitting in with the Rex Rogers band on the 24th of August in Palm Harbor Florida. Palm Harbor is just a few miles north of St. Petersburg. St.Petersburg is just north of Tampa. If any of ya`ll need any more info about that show, just let me know. Hey Carolyn M., You also might try CDnow.com as well as CDuniverse.com for PT cd`s. Ginbel does have the stuff you can`t find and he`ll be able to take care of ya. I did get " The Best of Pat Travers" from CDuniverse a couple of months ago and I play the bejeebers out of it while cruising the road. The Orlando area is packed with fine musicians! supergac Posted on Monday, July 29, 2002 - 07:28 pm:    Mrs. Supergac and I are hoping to see da PTB play "Speakeasy" at the Boardwalk, Sacramento. What kind of chance do we have?- - Supergac. Brian Maybe Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 12:00 am:    Don't hold your breath for Speakeasy, unfortunately. To my knowledge, he hasn't played that one live since the days of Puttin It Straight! BUT... You will still be blown away by the show, rest assured! I have yet to be dissapointed by a PT performance, and I've seen nearly 20 of 'em! Carolyn, DEFINITELY pick up The Best of Pat Travers & Go For What You Know Live to start, as these should be pretty easy to find. These give a great overview of the earlier years of PT, and the live CD is an all time classic great live album of all time! Cheers! Steve Z TC Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 02:39 am:    The guys discussing PT's Melody Maker may be interested to know he was talking about it at his gig last year at the Sheffield Boardwalk in the UK. I think he said he originally bought it in Sheffield - hence mentioning it at all!!! He said that when he got it back it was so horrible to play that he wondered why he ever liked it...! Guess that's why he sold it!!! Hooked_On_PT Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2002 - 07:26 am:    Carolyn, You might also look for "Live at the BBC" (not sure if that's the title) I've also seen it release as "Born under a bad sign" Another must have is "Makin' Magic". That's the one that got me "Hooked_On_PT". Regardless, you really can't go wrong on any that you pick up. enjoy! bill Rich Seib Posted on Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 08:20 am:    Pat's Texas Tour is now in ink!! Austin Sept.12, Houston Sept.13th, Dallas Sept.14th.....and more to come! Rich Takashi Posted on Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 10:54 am:    I should leave a concert report of the VCR Tokyo show here first. Despite the fact that the show was not well promoted in a very short time, there were nearly a thousand people. Surprisingly, the show was started by a PT set. Pat played I la La La Love you as an opening track. It was with a keyboard player and was as excellent as its in 1982 show. As soon as the song finished, the crowd gave Pat the biggest cheer through the show. I am not exaggerating! Pat grinned at the audience in a little while and talked to us that it was the very first visit to Japan before starting to play "Boom Boom". The VCR version includes a Hammond organ solo and the guitar solo was slightly difference from Pat normally does in the PTB. Unfortunately, his set was only two songs but he managed to blow us away completely. Having played two songs with Ronnie Hammond, Pat enjoyed playing a few Santana songs with Alex Ligertwood. Apart from the PT set, in my opinion, this set was the most exciting part of the show to me. Someone said that Alex is awesome. I agree with it! After a short break, Pat came back to the stage with Glenn Hughes & Joe Lynn Turner and started to play "Woman From Tokyo" of Deep Purple. The DP & Rainbow set continued quite a while and as far as I can remember now, they played "Highway Star", "Stormbringer", "Burn", "Hush", "Stone Cold" and "Smoke On The Water on encore.. I had mixed feelings that Pat's playing the DP stuff, but he did play them in his way as Tommy Bolin did in the 70's. That was just amazing. And, one of the surprising things through the show was that Billy Sheehan (ex Dave Lee Roth Band / Mr. Big) joined "Smoke On The Water" on encore and did a jam session with Pat. I want to write more, but it's 3:00AM in Japan now. Lastly, I'm sorry for my terrible English, Pat has been so good in Japan. He's going to go to Soul, Korea tomorrow and get back to Sasebo, Japan this weekend. I am going to catch Pat at a Sasebo show. Having been waiting for Pat almost 20 years in Japan, I got one of the greatest times in my life. Thank you, Pat!!! See you soon. Bette Posted on Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 11:18 am:    Takashi, Your English is better than a lot of Americans. Thanks for the review! cuttlefish66 Posted on Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 03:47 pm:    Further to Pats discussion of the Melody Maker at the Sheffield Boardwalk last year...yes he did buy it in Sheffield, yes it was stolen and was later recovered. Pat did mention at that gig that it was up for sale. The guitar is also on the 'Lookin' Up' cover. By the way, you're not Tony Currie are you, TC? Just wondered. Freight Train Posted on Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 05:39 pm:    Rich Seib!!!! it's Freight train! E-mail as soon as possible please. Thanks {Ericfr8train@aol.com} Randal Posted on Wednesday, July 31, 2002 - 07:25 pm:    Cool video, Jimmy Pagemaker!
