The GREATEST Guitarist You've Never Heard Of (RARE Live Performance)

Описание: Pat Thrall has been one of my favorite guitarists since his time in Automatic man, Pat Travers, Glenn Hughes. This is a super rare live bootleg recorded March 14/1985, Nefertiti jazz club, Goteberg, Sweden. Jonas Hellborg on bass, Michael Schriever (Santana, Automatic man) on drums.
Audience recording. I fixed it up and lowered the treble harshness. This showcases Thrall kicking out the shred non stop and really letting loose. I had never heard him this intense before on regular recordings with singers, and it's an amazing instrumental set.

In 1985, after Hughes-Thrall (with Glenn Hughes on vocals) didn't succeed as expected, guitarist Pat Thrall (ex-Pat Travers Band) performed a one-off live concert together with his ex-Automatic Man, pal Michael Shrieve (formerly with Santana) and Swedish bass player extraordinaire Jonas Hellborg (playing with the Mahavishnu Orchestra at the time).

Whether they were getting ready to record an album or just gigging for fun, they played a blistering set at Nefertiti that included some blues, a couple of funk/vocal tunes, extended bass and drum solos, but mostly red hot instrumental rock/fusion. Thrall is a superb guitar player whose talents were never fully utilized with Pat Travers, but here he delivers an absolutely jaw dropping performance with a guitar tone that will take your head off. And the Hellborg/Shrieve rhythm section (which teamed up again in 1996 on the landmark "Two Doors" CD with Shawn Lane) is, not surprisingly, absolutely killer.

This is a very rare show that I have never seen on anyone's list. It needs to be heard by all fans of heavy instrumental rock/fusion so I am sharing it here. I am so thankful that this was captured in the first place so thanks to the taper - whoever you are. ENJOY!!!!

If you wonder why you only see one video every two weeks on youtube, everything is now being posted on Patreon 'studio level'. Youtube will only be paid jam chats, dead musician tributes, and occasional short videos. All of my long jams (over ten minutes) on youtube are now only viewable through 'member only' subscription at $3 a month.

I'm still playing/recording every day. I've got a huge backlog over last five years. All studio and busking videos from 2015 to 2025 are now on PATREON for these reasons:
1) I don't get views on youtube anymore so there is no point posting my extended music here as they are not being seen. Youtube doesn't care about long form music videos and will not promote them.
2) I cannot make money on youtube with 200 views. It takes me a full day to record, edit, and process, and it's pointless for 5 cents in ad revenue. I value my creative work and I hope you will too. I've put my music on a paid membership tier on patreon at $9 a month for busking and studio work, all ad free. Communication with fans is much easier on patreon as they have private chats. Youtube is only to advertise my REAL support sites, Patreon and bandcamp.
