Thanks Ed, glad I could be of help!! See you again on Fri. Unfortunately, Taylor Hawkin's cover band that was also supposed to play that night, has cancelled. But we're still on!
Randy, I forgot about your offer for the Guitar Wars DVD! I'm gonna Paypal you...

Hang in there Ed, and I just replied to yer reply to my orignal e-mail to ya.
Okay..., so I did see our favoritest band last night and da guyz did jest fine! It was thier usual T-reffic stuff in front of a small, but very appreciative crowd. Derringer went on first and it was a real thrill just to watch his hands and listen to the music that flowed. Rick N. told me after the PTB set that they hope to have the new CD, ".. and the horse you rode in on" CD available real soon.
Aw'ight..., It seems that the guys have another central Floriduh shebang on Nov.29th! This one in the town of Vero Beach, which is located right on the edge of the Atlantic ocean. WOOHOO! If any body out there in PTB land needs details, just ask!
Ahhh..., how come I`m just so damn lucky? Life is good!

Hey, Ed. If anyone knows the feeling of recurring pain and the agony of ongoing defeat it's probably me. Keeep your eyes on the prize -- they can only get you down if you let 'em! The hardest thing for me to do has been to just let go -- keep pressing forward, but let go of the outcome because it's usually not ours to decide.
Ditto Stratmandu's comments -- the PT Family owes you much, and we are here for ya, Slim! Steve Z, keeping rocking Ed's brains out 'til his storm passes! |

No problem Ed, I`m just glad I learned from my mistkes and I can help someone else. A lot of people have helped me in the past.
I just got word today that Dick Dale will be in nearby Palm Beach this Sunday! WOOHOO! I can`t make the PTB gig this Friday, but DD is a heckuva consolation. A friend in St. Petersburg saw him this past Saturday and said that old guy is still a master guitarist and hasn`t lost a bit of talent over the years.

Didja ever copy audio from a video to a CD? I gotta tell ya it's a pain in the A$$.
Not too mention there is his investment in time and equipment.
Look it, he uses his PC to make money....
While he's copying the audio off the DVD (time = concert length plus time setting things up), probably can't use his PC much.
Then time spent checking it out making sure it's right, then burnin the CD (longer if you expect song markers so you can skip tracks), which will take another bit of time he can't use his computer.
you're probably looking at a good 3 or 4 hours just to make that.
and as they say, (whoever "they" are) "time is money"
I'd say he would enjoy a couple brews and he's just a guy out trying to make a buck like the rest of us.
So let's think these things through before we start going ballistic in public,eh?

That was good Blur! And Hooked, you stated the obvious (to most of us anyway!) in a very clear manner. Good job.
Jimbo....I must be dumb (don't answer that!), but I'm missing the punchline??? All I know is, the news regarding the allegations against Michael leads me to think...He better hope he doesn't slip on the soap as he's moonwalking in the cellblock! Also, this sure offers a lot of double entendres to the song "Beat It" doesn't it? Maybe that explains the "Single Glove Theory"? Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk... All kidding aside, let's hope for the kid's sake (the little one, not Michael) that this just ain't true. It would really be sick if these accusations prove true. No kid deserves that! This whole story could only get weirder if it also involved Rush Limbaugh!

Listen everybody:
What Rich does is professional quality dubbing. It involves time and money.
There are other ways (like running the audio output patch cables from your DVD to the stereo input jack on the back of your computer), but expect less in the quality dept.
The old saying "You get what you pay for" comes to mind.

Insert an alternate, less PC spelling of "comes" and consider "can" as a euphamism for a part of the anatomy, not as an actual can!

Hey Randy,
Just received your Guitar Wars DVD and the UFO History -Too Hot To Handle. Thanks a plenty!
Just watched Guitar Wars last night! Awesome stuff and your right when you said
"Source: direct from the cable onto S VHS - doesn't get much better than that."
The version of Nuno Bettencourt and Paul Gilbert doing PT's "Gettin Betta" is worth the $$.
What am I saying, it's a bargain at twice the price!
Thanks again

Greetings one and all. Long time since I've posted. Hope everyone is doing well.
Great to hear about the new PT comin' out. Ginbel, any idea when "Radio Active live" & "And The Horse You Rode In On" will be avaliable ???
Regarding the dvd to cd audio recording thing, it is fairly easy and very cheap. I have a dvd player hooked up to my "working" stereo which has a cd burner on it. Simple as that.
Ed, I finally got a scanner. I have some excellent pics of Pat from the mid to late 80's to mid 90's. If I scan them, will you post them ??? (At your descrition of course.) These are great shots. 5 of which I have enlagred to poster size.
I hope to be around a little more in the future and maybe come to a chat or two now and again. |
Ginbel
| | Posted on Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 07:49 pm: | |
That would be the easy way. However the correct way would be to "strip" the audio out of the MPEG2 files or better yet to create the CD from my master. None of which I have any intention in doing any time soon (if ever). The new CDs are far greater and deserve my complete intention, plus I have some more PTB DVDs on the horizon. On top of all that there are some really incredible live shows from the 70's that have been put into my hands in the past couple weeks. So just be patient and it will all be available. Just trying to fit it all in to my already tight schedule. Besides no point in doing it if you are not going to do it right. I think most know us well enough by now to know if it ain't ready, it ain't going out. |
Randy
| | Posted on Saturday, November 22, 2003 - 10:08 pm: | |
Rich,
I do a lot of demuxing and (re)muxing of DVDs that I get that were created with a stand alone burner. I like disks with a nice opening menu, individual song selection menu, etc., so I don't mind doing this.
I've noticed that the .ac3 file that I pull from the DVDs is pretty small - 200-300 megs for a 90 minute DVD isn't unusual.
When you say stripping the audio out of the mpeg2 file, is this what you mean? I've heard of programs that allow you to convert the .ac3 file to .wav, but I wonder how well they really work.
Randy |
Ginbel
| | Posted on Sunday, November 23, 2003 - 04:48 am: | |
Yep, that's it except that AC-3 is compressd too much (for me at least) to use as an audio file for a CD and converting it to a wave doesn't help as the info was already lost when the file was converted to AC-3 the first time. Still it is about the same as an MP-3. The funny thing to me is the divergence in music to go either o MP-3 of DVD-A (audio). So much info is lost in an MP-3 I don't know why anyone would listen to them on a home stereo. DVD-A is the cream of the crop, but VERY few people posess a stereo that will reveal the improved detail. Further more most of the few DVD players that will handle the format have less than adequate audio cicuitry in comparisone with normal high end equipment. Not to mention the surround sound amps generally are seriously lacking in the area of producing sonic detail and most of the engineering goes in to efects handling and imaging. Eventually you will get all the detail you can handle from wireless streaming... just not today. |

Of course I loved it but I must be getting "modern" cuz I really felt a lack of production wizardry.....I mean it was a tad bit TOO raw.

TCFan....the Tran-Siberian Orchestra was an awesome show!
the classics meet heavy metal...I can't get enough of that stuff!! Like when PT does his Vivaldi bit.
It was well worth the money. You won't be disappointed. Have you heard their stuff? It was written by Paul O'Neil (I think) of Savatage and a couple others. I guess he's taken to writing rock opera's. I need to check out some of the Savatage CD's. Chris Caffery (also of Savatage) was on one of the guitar's at the show we saw. They have two tours running at the same time. I'd be interested to know where you are seeing them and if it's different, who's in the orchestra.
We saw them in Erie, PA Saturday night. Played for about 2 1/2 hours. Did stuff from all the TSO cd's. Amazing, no, incredible, light show. Most elaborate affair I've been to in a while. Caffery at one point took credit for the blackout in August...said it was Paul testing the light show!
Basically, they followed "Christmas and other stories", then went into a other stuff once they got through it. Incredible energy from start to end.
We didn't stay, but they did have a meet and greet afterward. If they are anything in person like their stage presence, I'm sure they're all nice folks. I, however, make my way done to the stage and asked a roadie for one of Chris' picks (his mic stand was still there and there were a few pics on it). It has Transiberian Orchestra on one side and his autograph on the other. His signature included a smilie face with a santa cap.
Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!

Hey, how about that? I just signed up for the PT message boards and what do I find? Discussion on my favorite band Trans-Siberian Orchestra! (Note the TS in my username stands for Trans-Siberian).
I HIGHLY recommend this show to just about anyone. I have been a huge Savatage/TSO fan for many years now. I attended their show last Xmas when the left coast tour landed in Tucson, AZ. It was the best concert I've ever attended! Killer music, killer musicians, and a beyond killer light show. The music is very versatile and appeals to all audiences. I saw everything from 12-year-old kids to grandmas and grandpas at that show...and everyone getting into it!
And Hooked on PT, definitely do check out the later Savatage albums if you like TSO. Dead Winter Dead, Wake of Majellan, and Poets and Madmen are all killer progressive metal/hard rock albums.
Basically Savatage started TSO because they were beginning to write too many songs that just didn't fit into the Savatage songlist (not heavy enough). So they started a new side project as a way to release these songs to the public. Little did they know that a few years later, their little side project would grow well beyond the levels of success they ever attained as Savatage.
Now onto the original reason I signed up for this board a few days ago: Does anyone know where I can get a copy of PT's Hot Shot CD? I've looked EVERYWHERE on the net and can't find it. I am assuming it is completely out of print and I may be up the proverbial creek with no paddle to speak of. Am I correct in this assumption? |

Ken,
I remain blissfully UN-aware of current events behind the scenes in the PT camp. I have enough drama with my own bands that I need to just enjoy the music of PT! No offense to any side, yours included (and honestly, I don't really know who's who on any side!), but I am happy to see any PT releases, and will support the efforts of all those who work to provide them for us.
Rock on!

Here's my guess on Ken's post -- Rich has OBLIVIOUSLY been working his ARSE off getting new stuff out, so when Steve said someone needed to hire Rich full-time to get stuff out, Ken was sayin' -- "HUH??? He's already on the job!"
my best guess

Instead of everyone taking a guess, why doesn't Ken just explain himself? I thought the comment was a bit coy, and hinted of resentment towards Rich from an incident that occurred almost a year ago. I really hope this is not the case! How about it Ken? Care to clear the air for everyone?
Welcome back gReg, you ol' goofball!!
Happy Thanksgiving to EVERYONE. In spite of a weird year what with Iraq, terrorists, unemployment through the roof and countless other issues, we all still should have SOMETHING to be thankful for, even if it means searching deep...

Here's something I got in an email the other day I thought I'd share, prompted by Rockpig's comment "we all still should have SOMETHING to be thankful for, even if it means searching deep..." I apologize for the length...
****************
I am thankful for the wife
Who says it's hot dogs tonight,
Because she is home with me,
And not out with someone else
For the husband
Who is on the sofa
Being a couch potato,
Because he is home with me
And not out at the bars
For the teenager
Who is complaining about doing dishes
Because that means she is at home,
Not on the streets
For the taxes
That I pay because it means that I am employed
For the mess
To clean after a party
Because it means that I have
Been surrounded by friends
For the clothes
That fit a little too snug
Because it means
I have enough to eat
For my shadow
That watches me work
Because it means
I am out in the sunshine
For a lawn
That needs mowing,
Windows that need cleaning,
And gutters that need fixing
Because it means I have a home
For all the complaining
I hear about the government
Because it means that
We have freedom of speech
For the parking spot
I find at the far end of the parking lot
Because it means I am capable of walking
And that I have been
Blessed with transportation
For my huge heating bill
Because it means I am warm
For the lady behind me in church
That sings off key
Because it means that I can hear
*****************
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

As most of you know by know we have given the go ahead to Rich (ginbel) to polish up our C.D. and make it available to youz guyz. Rich by far has proven himself to us most importantly to Pat. The cover art work is done and waiting for Pat's approval. We would like to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. John Howe.....how 'bout this guy huh? He drives his ass off year round just to hang with us and give us GREAT pictures. John you are very appreciated as well as a great friend.
In closing......Happy Thanksgiving,Thanks John, You rock Rich and Nancy. And HOLY SH%T gREG's BACK!!!!! |

Hello (almost) everyone out there in PT land! As the saying goes..."The more things change, the more they stay the same". I can see from catching up on 2 or 3 weeks' posts that a few bad apples insist on keeping the doo-doo stired around here, what a shame.
Without taking "sides" on the issues (whatever they may be, as I am blisfully unaware), let me just say that Rich and Nancy clearly work their azzes off to provide the best possible PT products which, save their Herculean efforts, would be unavailable to us, the PT faithful. In particular, I'd searched for "Putting It Straight" on CD for YEARS before finally locating it at a PT show, which I would have had to wait several years more for before getting a worse version from One Way Records, were it not for Rich and Nancy. So, back da ••••• up, ya whiners. 'Nuff said.
The Ice Queen and I have been catching some awesome shows lately, most of which might not appeal to your average PT fan, but are worth noting for the musicianship. One of my newest "favorite" bands is a group of guys who call themselves "Spock's Beard", who carry the torch of progressive music (think Yes, Genesis, ELP, etc.) into the 21st century. Having recently lost their main writer and lead singer/keyboardist #1 (of 2) to a more "religious" path, they managed to put together another awesome album and we drove to New Jersey (about 4 hours) to see them. The show was amazing and we met some great people also. Then, last weekend, we drove to Ohio (more like 6 hours) to see young guitarslinger extraordinaire Joe Bonamassa totally tear up a club in NE Ohio.
This Saturday, we're going to VA to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra for our FOURTH year in a row. I could go on for pages about these guys, TCF, you're in for a show. Drop me an email at CARLJ@aol.com and maybe I can give you a taste of what you're going to experience without boring the general public here to tears. All I can say about TSO is...GO! You won't regret it. They have some of the finest musicians in their two touring companies, and the story (narrated) and the light show are spectactular. You've probably heard "Sarajevo 12/24" on your local radio stations, it's a rocked out version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" but the rest of the album (showing my age) is great as well. It's called "Christmas Eve and Other Stories". I highly recommend it. Also, the guys are great at the meet and greet afterwards, specially Chris Cafferty of Savatage. They also have some spectacular vocalists as well, some from Broadway, all very talented. Am I gushing sufficiently?
Well, I've gone on for too long and it's late.
Keep on rockin' with PT

Okay... finally... something new! This is the new CD called "METRO" we have been working on for quite a while now. It is really great to hear this early stuff. It's funny when you listen to this older material compared to his new stuff you realise just how much he has matured as a musician. These recordings spent some serious time in the mastering process to fully capture the essence of the shows. We know you will all enjoy them as we do! to get it go here... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2576898626

Well put Purple Haze62 (aka Carl). Like you, and others around here, I'm amazed that this stupid nonsense is showing up again! And I also believe that Brian Maybe (aka Steve) is ADULT enough that he can decide for himself what and who he chooses to purchase from without anybody else's input. He obviously is not some immature child that needs guidance from anyone else. He's always come across as very well balanced to me, so leave the guy alone. Hey Rich...I sure hope you got PERMISSION before you offered up the latest PTB offering....OUI, OUI??? LOL! Or else the "Self Annointed PT Mafia" will be all over your ass! It must be said that some people REALLY need to move on with their life, and maybe even grow up and be a man about things. I thought Eric (an actual band member of the REAL PTB by the way, in case somebody forgot!) stated the obvious very clearly with his last post. How in the world someone could STILL have questions regarding PERMISSION is way beyond me.....but then again, stupidity has subtle ways of showing itself over and over again.
I'm done talking turkey about TURKEYS....now I'm off to better things...turkey dinner & football!
Happy Thanksgiving all...BE THANKFUL, and remember the troops doing a job they have no choice in that are far away from their families and loved ones. Hats off to those guys and gals!
And as always...PTB is King! (without the help of the "Self Annointed PT Mafia"...) |

When I say "we" from now on I mean the Pat Travers Band as a whole. That being said I am sorry for my obtuse statement. I mean Pat, Rick, and myself (Eric) decided together that Rich has more than shown us his ability to handle this task. Rick and I are supplying the artwork as well as the Glass Master from the original sessions. Pat will sell these C.D.'s through Rich as well as at the live shows. We are looking forward to Saturday in south Florida. PTB Stalker here we come. I am sorry in advance for any misspelled words this time. ERIC |

Poor Poor Glenn Campbell. I love that guy. Jimmy Webb really put some excellent number ones together for Glenn. Then as a natural course Glenn had his own hugely successful TV show. Poor, poor Glenn, don't even think he has his own lear jet anymore. But after a successful careeer like that I can't blame him for drounding his sorrows. Now he drinks after and in between his shows. Not before mind you. He played the Nugget last year and was a stellar dude. He played that blue electric guitar like nobody's business and his vocals were as good as his orginal albums. But, Glenn is getting old and a little forgetful. Enough on Glenn.
Pat ripped the •••• out of his Gibson when he played the Underground last month. He and Tonylo were great to hang with at Dinner and the Wishbox boys couldn't have been better in concert. That Inside Looking Out is a real rocker. We tried to get the New Years gig in Reno and it was confirmed, then when the no experience casino buyers received final details on the contract they bowed out. Too bad for them - because the show was set with PT, Alex Ligertwood, Glenn Hughes, Jimi Jamison and Joe Lynn Turner. I got have that show and I will get it some how. Pat is the greatest and one of the nicest guys around, my wife enjoyed dining with him and we both loved the show. Crissy and I gave Pat something special simply because we love him. Rock on Pat. Scott & Jo were there too and in a little club with great acoustics the show was really special. Pat signed autographs and the girls as usual tried hanging all over him after the show. Great Job Pat and as someone on this board keeps saying PTB is King. I agree. - See ya - Blu PS Good job Ginbel and Ken, I'm glad you guys are both working on getting out the precious PT materials. Most of us will take it all. Peace and Love you hummers! |

Hey gReg...if you start hacking up hairballs we'll know what you've been up to with that new wife of yours. Dude, you're a crack-up!
My man Eric...I think you just might have explained things well enough that even an imbecile could understand....Let's hope so anyway, 'cause that whole issue is getting TIRED!
Also, will you and Rick be playing the December gig in Everett, WA that Darren mentioned? If so, I'm there, if not, I'll catch you next time.
I also agree with Blu...Glen Campbell is quite the guitar picker. A master of the understated, kind of like Chet Atkins. They make it all look so effortless that their talent goes underappreciated...

What a great week it has been for me and I sure hope all you PTB groupies had as much fun as I did!
Wednesday evening I caught Bad Ass REK in nearby Orlando. Peoples, until y`all catch BA REK, you`ve only seen a fraction of Rick and Erics talents! Dean Aichers, (pronouced "aykers"), on lead guitar, is everything you can want and a really nice guy. Eric was doing lead vocals and playing a lot of accoustic rythym guitar most of the night. Eric`s good friend, Reed Hayes, was on drums. A long while ago I heard Eric refer to Reed as his mentor, fer real! Eric had his drums set up right next to Reed`s set and Eric would sometimes jump back and he and Reed would jam together. Rick even jumped back and grabbed the sticks for a song! The guys played a wide range of tunes from the 70`s to now-a-day stuff before several thousand people!! I won`t soon forget that night!
Saturday night I caught the PTB in a small hall in front a very enthusiastic crowd. They played thier usual set and I gotta admit, they sounded extra, extra fine that night!!!
After the show, we all went out to small local club and grabbed a bite. After eating, Eric, Rick and "whats-his-name" borrowed the house band gear and played a few tunes for the heck of it. There was a bit of technical glitch at first with the drum set, and the bass needed some tweaking, but they got that fixed and played a psychcodelic version of Stevie Wonder`s "Superstious", and the Hendrix "Voodoo Child". After that, everbody pretty much went on thier way.
Kan't wait for the next time! |
