PAT TRAVERS BAND LIVE

[jeff alder]

Anyone in the central Illinois west central Indiana...Pat Travers is still getting it done. Live at the Watseka theater. This is a wonderful place to see a live concert. It only seats around 400 with a nice balcony. You can get a dinner with the show. There is a full bar and drinks are allowed in the theater area. There is not a bad seat here. The building was designed by John Graham and Associates. They designed the Sears tower and John Hancock building in Chicago.

WOW I missed that one Dave or it would be in my garage...LOL. Yes, Clifton Central is very close to my little hometown. There is a really nice 68 GTX 440 4 gear roaming around there. I stopped the guy and told him about B bodies, but I have never seen him here.

Pat Travers Band was a force back when I saw them in the summer of '80 - the Crash and Burn tour when Pat Thrall was with them. They opened for Foghat in Green Bay.

I saw them again in the spring of '81 in Milwaukee. They headlined that time with Krokus and Rainbow being the opening acts. It would be fun to see him again.

It was a treat to see and hear Pat Travers Band play at an outdoor concert in Lansing Illinois a week after the 4th of July this year.

The opening band was Count 77, who ended their set with the Door’s song “Break on Through to the Other Side”.

Friends have been to that Watseka theater.

Boom Boom! What is it?...

I saw Pat Travers in April along with Foghat at a theater the next town over from me.
It was a good show. Pretty sure the night I saw him was his birthday.

Seen him at the thirsty wale in if I remember correctly Rivergrove Il.

Yes sir...The Thirsty Whale was a great place to catch bands. Unfortunately, it was demolished back in the 90's to make way for a new McDonalds and a gas station.

The same show I saw 45 years ago in Green Bay!

Yes it is.
I didn’t know he, Danny, had a band but then I didn’t watch most of those “car building shows”. No cable tv.

So how was his band? I'd seen in the show he had a band but never caught any of their clips...

Erik Buell (Buell motorcycles) had a band as well (Erik Buell and the Thunderbolts)...as much of a friend as Erik is, though...

I dunno. I'm a tough critic, as a sound guy.

There is an episode of Danny's show that features George Lynch's (Dokken Lynch Mob ETC) Buick Riviera. There is a brief clip of Danny's Band on that episode. (C-) in my book of music LOL.
