Paul Gilbert - Snortin' Whiskey (Pat Travers)

This is a performance by guitarist Paul Gilbert playing his version of the classic Pat Travers song "Snortin' Whiskey" (also sometimes referred to as "Snortin' Whiskey, Drinkin' Cocaine"). It's a blues rock song, and it was originally released in 1980 on by Travers and his band on the album "Crash and Burn". It is Pat Travers' most successful song, and the song that gained the most radio play and the highest positions on the charts. It is still a crowd pleaser to this day, and it is also a pleaser at Gilbert's gig.
The Paul Gilbert version is recorded at the Guitar Center in Hollywood, and that is why he talks a little bit about his amp before playing, it's a guitar geek crowd. Gilbert plays a smoking version of the song, and I thought it was worthy of being featured. Plus the fact that I haven't been able to find really good concert footage of any performance by Pat Travers. I've embeded a version done by Travers below, but the video and sound quality isn't great.
It's a great song, and a great performance by both artists.


Enjoy ; )
