Pat Travers Band/Good Rats/DL Byron Palladium Saturday, April 19, 1980

I never really listened to any Pat Travers Band music but I had one of his albums which were almost more known for the inventive album covers which were always interesting. I really have no recollection of this Palladium concert but I did see the Pat Travers Band many years later at The Space in Westbury, a fairly odd venue which is a former movie theatre converted for multiple purposes to include live music events. The Westbury show was a Groupon grab and it was not well attended allowing me to enter late and walk right to the front of the stage dead center. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the show and Pat Travers can wail on guitar.
The Good Rats were a pretty successful band working the Long Island club scene in the late 1970’s along with Zebra and, of course, Twisted Sister. The Good Rats were never really my bag but they had a couple of songs that you heard on the radio and they drew large crowds so it was always a good night out.
