The Funky Biscuit

Boca Raton, FL

December 5th 2015

Remastered soundboard.

Not bad/not the best.

It's a little bit 'sterile' and the bass is rather low in the mix

so I mainly focused on getting Pat's guitar sound good.

The overall quality does improve after a couple of songs.

(or your ears get used to it?)

Pat Travers Band

The Funky Biscuit

Boca Raton, FL

May 19th 2023

Remastered audience recording.

The band is a trio these days so Pat has to work.

but his backline is top-notch.

OK, I know nothing about Alex Petrosky

but David Pastorius (Jaco's nephew) on bass!

This stripped-down approach to the songs

doesn't half make them sound like Robin Trower/Rory/etc.

There is something to be said for bass/drums/guitar.

I am quite plesed with this reworking.

I am bi-lingual.

I speak English/American:

Car/Automobile

Bonnet/Hood

Boot/Trunk

Windscreen/Windshield

Gear stick/Shift Stick

Bumper/Fender

...but I know zilch about 'Laugh-In '.

Pat Travers Band

Warfield Theatre

San Francisco, CA

May 25th 1980

This one has been on Soundaboard before

but it's been in my listen-to pile for ages

so I thought I'd repost it anyway.

And hey...recorded on my 17th birthday!

I loved Hammerhead at the time but listening to it now

I think Pat's attempts to go 'metal' were misguided.

He was more than that.

I saw PTB on this tour and have , hopefully,

an interesting story which includes that gig.

Might tell it some time. (shit...Ed.)

This is a savage recording and that's coming from someone

who is no stranger to pushing levels into the red.

Oh shit...maybe it IS my remaster!?

Just a CD off the shelf which I remember nothing about.

I had to turn it down a bit.

If Frau Luxor had been at home she would have sashayed into the room,

Weißbier in one hand, cigarette in the other, uttering "mein Gott".

(picture Marlene Dietrich and you won't be far out)

Pat Travers/Robin Trower

1984/1974

This is from a rebroadcast in 2001.

I listened to it through headphones and the quality is top drawer.

The role of 'bass & vocals' has some celebrated proponents.

None better than the late, great, James Dewer.
