EXTD=Live!  Go For What You Know\n\nOriginally Released 1979\nCD Editi
EXTD=on Released April 6, 1993\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Pat Travers never
EXTD= sounded more focused and inspired than he does on Live! Go for W
EXTD=hat You Know, which was recorded during the Canadian hard rocker/
EXTD=blues-rocker's U.S. tour of early 1979. Travers can really burn o
EXTD=n stage, and this album reflects that. Backed by guitarist Pat Th
EXTD=rall (who had been a member of the obscure space rock band Automa
EXTD=tic Man in 1976 and 1977), bassist Mars Gowling, and drummer Tomm
EXTD=y Aldridge, the singer is in top form on explosive, definitive ve
EXTD=rsions of funky originals like "Heat in the Street," "Gettin' Bet
EXTD=ta," and "Makes No Difference." But the best-known thing on the a
EXTD=lbum is Travers' gutsy performance of Stan Lewis' blues classic "
EXTD=Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)," which should not be confused with
EXTD= the John Lee Hooker favorite "Boom Boom." For Travers, "Boom Boo
EXTD=m (Out Go the Lights)" has been a major crowd pleaser, and the ve
EXTD=rsion heard on this release was a staple of album rock radio in 1
EXTD=979 and the early '80s. If you're exploring Travers' music for th
EXTD=e first time, Live! Go for What You Know is among the CDs to star

EXTD=ST LIVE SET EVER, September 27, 2006\nReviewer: Matthew J. Rosenf
EXTD=eld (Brookline, MA United States)\nI used to worship this album i
EXTD=n the early 1980's, and it has stood the test of time. These time
EXTD=less classics are delivered with a tightness and boogie funk styl
EXTD=e not heard since. Even the Chili Peppers would have a hard time 
EXTD=keeping up with the pace put on by Travers, Tommy Aldridge (one t
EXTD=he greatest rock drummers ever), Pat Thrall (with his trademark g
EXTD=uitar licks) and Mars Cowling (the most underrated bassist in Roc
EXTD=k's history). This is a 'front to backer' so just start it up and
EXTD= let it go. The pace sets as a bruising rock and funk marathon, i
EXTD=ncreasing in intensity up until the very last notes of the record
EXTD=. It's too bad more artists don't listen to this disc before goin
EXTD=g out on stage. "GO FOR WHAT YOU KNOW" is something all musicians
EXTD= should know. \n\nHow does this band do it? Stopping and turning 
EXTD=on a dime, weaving guitars and bass with a blues tightness or a j
EXTD=azz improv looseness at the same time. Cowling takes mini bass so
EXTD=los over dual guitars and a double-bass drum attack that boggles 
EXTD=the mind. Sure, you've probably heard "BOOM BOOM OUT GOES THE LIG
EXTD=HTS," but how well do you know "GETTIN' BETTA"??? Dance to it, st
EXTD=udy it, marvel over it. This is as tight as rock gets. And don't 
EXTD=doubt it - Pat Travers' voice here is urgent, soulful, and inspir
EXTD=ed. \n\nWhen all the other live albums get tucked away in the col
EXTD=lection and classified as "not as good as the studio versions," P
EXTD=at Travers has the distinction of using the live arena to perfect
EXTD= the songs he developed for the true rock music lovers. Like the 
EXTD=announcer says at the beginning of the disc, Pat Travers is here 
EXTD=to kick your %$$. \n\nThank you Pat Travers, again and again!!!!\n

EXTD=ctober 5, 2005\nReviewer: R. Gorham "RCG2"\n"Go For What You Know
EXTD=" (1979) was a series of live shows in Austin, TX and 3 different
EXTD= music halls in Florida. On this tour (1978-89) the band was in r
EXTD=are form. Meet the band: Pat Travers (guitar & vocals), Pat Thral
EXTD=l (guitar), Mars Cowling (bass), and Tommy Aldridge (drums). Thra
EXTD=ll and Cowling were wonderful back-ups to Travers and both under-
EXTD=rated on their guitars. Aldridge came to be a journeyman drummer 
EXTD=having stints with Travers, Black Sabbath, Black Oak Arkansas, Wh
EXTD=itesnake, Gary Moore, and recent live albums with Ted Nugent and 
EXTD=Thin Lizzy. "Go For What You Know" is 8 songs long and clocks in 
EXTD=at approximately 42 minutes. The feeling you get from this album 
EXTD=- energy accompanied by amazing musicianship. This band, with the
EXTD= best line up of players it ever enjoyed, was NEVER better. Other
EXTD= 70's bands like Deep Purple, UFO, Frampton, Kiss, Rush, Foghat a
EXTD=ll had their own classic "live" albums... and this one was right 
EXTD=up there with them. Travers brought his Canadian blues rock style
EXTD= to the stage in great fashion... playing small intimate clubs wa
EXTD=s his speciality. The songs: 3 songs from "Makin' Magic" (1977) a
EXTD=re here - "Stevie", "Hooked On Music" and the title song; 2 songs
EXTD= from "Putting It Straight" (1977) - "Gettin' Betta" and the titl
EXTD=e song; 2 songs from "Heat In The Street" (1978) - "Go All Night"
EXTD= and the title song; and the mega hit "Boom Boom (Out Go The Ligh
EXTD=ts)" from his early (unheard of) self titled album (1976). Like P
EXTD=eter Frampton's songs from "Frampton Comes Alive" - so many of th
EXTD=e songs actually sound better 'live' than they did on the studio 
EXTD=album... I think the same holds true with Travers. His versions h
EXTD=ere of "Boom Boom" and "Stevie" are simply electric and the crowd
EXTD= is totally into it (hard to narrow down the best songs here - th
EXTD=ey're all great). This is truly a great "live" recording and esse
EXTD=ntial in any rock & roll library... the only thing bad about this
EXTD= album I can say is that it's not long enough! A classic.\n\n\nAM

EXTD=p a notch. The funk, the speed, the technical skill, the song wri
EXTD=ting! "Go for What You Know" is a live album to end all live albu
EXTD=ms. Here is a band that is so driven by their kinetic funk/metal 
EXTD=energy that the sounds in this album threaten to overwhelm the li
EXTD=stener. Riffs, leads, bass lines, drums exploding through the str
EXTD=atosphere anchored down to a funky killer groove! I'll not go int
EXTD=o song by song as the other reviews, for all is a funky whole on 
EXTD=this album. Even the classic blues of "Boom Boom (Out goes the Li
EXTD=ghts)" is a high energy masterpiece. No duds here! PT exited the 
EXTD=70's with an Icon & legacy that many bands in the late 80's would
EXTD= be inspired by. This man & his band are the link from Hendrix to
EXTD= the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, King's X, Extreme, Living Colour, ju

EXTD=ndividually since they were just released and are available at am
EXTD=azon.uk.) I am now ready to replace this selection from my Pat Tr

EXTD= stuff in support of Pat Travers and his band. I turned my band m
EXTD=ates onto Pat. I turned my friends that played in other bands ont
EXTD=o Pat. It seemed to me that only the musicians on Long Island in 
EXTD=the late 70's took to Pat Travers, and the rest of the world wasn
EXTD='t ready. Maybe it was for the best. I might have gotten tired of
EXTD= him if EVERYBODY was into him. I saw him on tour to support this
EXTD= album at the Calderone Theater in Hempstead, Long Island, NY. A 
EXTD=movie theater with incredible acoustics that was converted into a
EXTD= concert hall. small hall, BIG sound. Amazing venue.\n\nHats off 
EXTD=to Pat. He went out and got the best to help him deliver his good
EXTD=s. Tommy Aldridge's double-bass pedal work sounds like someone pl
EXTD=aying a quadruple-bass kit. And he wasn't just about speed. Look 
EXTD=up "syncopation" in the dictionary. That's a picture of Tommy's f
EXTD=eet next to the definition. Mars Cowling's bass lines were the co
EXTD=olest things on four strings. (Pat credits him with bass and insp
EXTD=iration on all his albums.) The rhythm section of that band was w
EXTD=hat kept it all together and gave it that incredibly tight sound.
EXTD= Pat Thrall was just the touch Travers needed to compliment him a
EXTD=nd his songs. Never took over Pat's show, he just showed up when 
EXTD=he was needed to blow you away, and happily went back to rockin' 
EXTD=alongside Pat. A tight cohesive unit without egos in this band. I
EXTD= challenge anybody to name a band that could rock this hard and t

EXTD=g Island, New York)\nSeptember 14, 1979, a night before my 22nd b
EXTD=irthday, I witnessed the most intense, jaw dropping concert, that
EXTD= I have ever experienced in my life. It was the kind of concert, 
EXTD=that left me speechless, so totally blown away, that I couldn't d
EXTD=escribe it accurately to anybody. The fact that I remember this c
EXTD=oncert vividly to this day, 22 years later, should give you a hin
EXTD=t of the impact it had on me. \nAnyway, on that night, I went wit
EXTD=h a friend to see Pat Travers Band (this group exactly on this al
EXTD=bum). The show was at the Calderone Concert Hall in Hempstead, Ne
EXTD=w York....\n\nIt was the last night of their American tour, and I
EXTD= was there. Pat Travers Band played what was undoubtedly, one of 
EXTD=the most powerfully intense and SERIOUS concert of his career.\n\n
EXTD=My friend who was with me, and older than me, told me that the sh
EXTD=ow was as good as when he saw Jimi Hendrix at Madison Square Gard
EXTD=en years before.\n\nIn closing, although the sonic quality of thi
EXTD=s album pales in comparison to the show I saw, it's a VERY accura
EXTD=te musical depiction of the show that I saw, at around the same t
EXTD=ime that this was released. This is the Pat Travers Band at their
EXTD= PEAK, so go BUY IT!!!! \n\nThe thing that I keep thinking about,
EXTD= is, that if this band played in front of a Woodstock crowd, for 
EXTD=instance, back then, they would have been HUGE instantly! The Pat

EXTD=lary 80's hard rock guitarist, and his music had a certain 'hook

EXTD=ineup he ever had in his career - Thrall on guitar, Aldridge on d
EXTD=rums - along with his long-time companion on bass - Cowling. Toge
EXTD=ther, they come together to bring a new level of energy into each
EXTD= and every song on the CD.\n\nOne side note - my bro and I used t

EXTD= I mean, really, does this guy worry about what time it is when h

EXTD='it is 11 PM - gotta wait..'????\n\nOne quick note on the music -
EXTD= very 80's or the essence of it, with great guitarwork throughout
EXTD=...akin to Robin Trower or Hendrix...blues and rock marriage made
