For our first Hard And Heavy Hump Day Post we have a short but absolutely sweet Pat Travers radio broadcast. This one is from Pat's 1981 tour to promote Radioactive, his follow up to the successful Crash And Burn. You get only 4 songs but each one is considered a Pat Travers Classic. My favorite of the 4 is the stomping "Snortin' Whiskey". My absolute favorite Pat Travers song "Stevie" unfortunately not on this recording.
The Pat Travers Band is another of those Hard Rock bands that is common ground between Classic 1970s Hard Rockers and the Heavy Metal Heads of the 1980s. Every Metal Head I know has a copy of 2 Pat Travers albums in their collection, Live Go For What You Know and Crash And Burn. As a matter of fact Kirk Hammett of Metallica cites Pat Travers as a major influence. In the 1980s Detroit bar scene almost every Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band at one time or another included "Snortin' Whiskey" in their set.
This will be a quick download so there is no excuse for not downloading (except if your not a fan, everyone is free to their own opinion of course).

This show circulates as Detroit, Michigan, April 30, 1980 but The Royal Oak Music Theater is in downtown Royal Oak, Michigan a suburb of Detroit. This show actually was simulcast uncensored, Pat Travers can clearly be heard telling a guy in the front row to "Fuck off" after that person yells out for Pat to "Get fucked", as a matter of fact Pat & Mars Cowling both drop a few "F" bombs live on the air.
