Live Pat Travers! This is 41 minutes of guitar driven, glorious, hard,
blues rock taken from 4 different concerts in 1979. I am betting the concerts were anywhere from 75-90 minutes long, so what is missing?
Damn it, I hate it when some corporate asshole decides what part of a concert we should hear. The advent of cds, has dimmed that somewhat.
RIP Peter "Mars" Cowling

Released right in the middle of his prime late 70's/early 80's run, Live! Go for What You Know captures Travers and his band's hard, funky, bluesy rock effectively and concisely, with material from his earliest releases like "Hooked on Music" and the audience participation boogie-rocker "Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)" turned into rousing stage anthems, and highlights triumphs from Putting It Straight and Heat in the Street with the likes of "Gettin' Betta" and "Go All Night." Without falling into the bloated trappings of 70's live albums, this one places the focus on the Travers band's locked in interplay and accomplished musicianship, and is a good entry point to the guitarists discography.

Very good live blues rock album. The band is very good and energetic. The album makes me feel like I'm in a local bar watching some great band that hasn't been discovered. It just has that bar band vibe, and I dig that. Pat Travers is a great guitar player and the riffs and solos sound excellent. Musically, the band is a very tight unit and everything everyone plays meshes with and complements with what the other band members are playing perfectly. The songs and vocals are good, but not great. This is an album you listen to for the playing and the vibe, not for great songs and vocals.

Just occasionally a band waits too long before recording a live album and manages then to kill the album by producing out the raw dynamic that made them special. Such is the case with Pat. This is not a bad album but I defy anyone to compare it to the Rockpalast DVD or the Sight and Sound in concert recorded a couple of years earlier where there was a fire in the band and Pat in particular and view this as superior to that 3 piece. The track listing bar "Boom Boom" is exemplary, just a shame that the raw intensity is so lacking.

Some artists suffer from the dilemma of replicating their music live.
This is not the case with Pat Travers,he actually sounds BETTER live.
Crackerjack band at their peak,great song selection,production.
One of his best.

Really a pretty tight and rockin' live set from the Pat Travers Band, sadly I'm just not a fan of this kind of grooving blues rock. Band features fellow guitarist vocalists Pat Thrall, and former Black Oak Arkansas drummer and soon to be Ozzy drummer Tommy Aldridge.
