Pat opened for Richie Blackmores Rainbow...
They were a three piece band and they ROCKED THE HOUSE!!!!
Pat came onstage with a white Gibson Double Neck and never put it down..
He played the hole gig with that guitar. WOW, I had a new respect for this guy.
Pat did his job that night, he worked the crowd into a frenzy with his riffs and dancing and when Richie came out we were ready to rock!!
He never hit the big time but for this 15 year old kid "who would go on to see
many concerts his life time" he set the bar and he put it high..
I am old enough too say "I got to see Richie Blackmores Rainbow".
I can also say that "I got to see Pat Travers at the top of his game" and he left a mark in my spirit and on my soul.
ROCK ON PAT.. RAMZ.
