Here is yet another recording of Canadian blues-metal guitarist
Pat Travers playing his huge classic rock hit "Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)" in front of a live audience -- how he can still make it sound so invigorating after all these decades is beyond reason. The upside of this for
Travers fans, however, comes not from the tunes the man has made his own by interpretation, but from a large number of covers -- with his own inimitable spin -- not recorded before. Here
Travers and band treat listeners to readings of
ZZ Top's "Waitin' for the Bus" and "Jesus Left for Chicago,"
UFO's "Lights Out,"
Aerosmith's "Last Child," and
Cream's "Politician," to name a few. ~ Thom Jurek
