Background

The album was recorded on tour in the US in early 1979, and featured the guitar tandem of Travers and Pat Thrall, who had joined the Pat Travers band in 1977 and had recorded Heat In The Street (1978) with them. According to Legends of Rock Guitar, on this album and the follow-up, Crash and Burn (1980), the duo of Travers and Thrall bridged the gap between what it calls "dramatic changes" in metal in the late 1970s: Travers emblematized "the blues-rock sound of sixties and seventies metal" whereas Thrall's playing represents the newer wave in metal (represented by Eddie van Halen): "The combining of the two players' solos during this time showed a rare detente between two generations of hard rockers and, although short-lived, it was extremely exciting."[3]

The album was produced by Tom Allom, who had worked on the first five Black Sabbath albums as a sound engineer, had produced two albums by The Tourists, and would afterward produce nine albums by Judas Priest and the debut album On Through the Night by Def Leppard.[4] Besides praising the guitar playing of Travers and Thrall, critics have also hailed Tommy Aldridge, a drumming pioneer who after leaving the Pat Travers Band played with Ozzy Osbourne; one critic called him "the definitive double bass drummer" on the basis of this album.[5]

The album garnered positive reviews. It came recommended by Billboard magazine,[8] and received positive reviews in the Los Angeles Times[9][10] and the The Daily Collegian.[11] Years after its release, the live album is often referred to by critics as the pinnacle of Pat Travers' career.[1][12][13] Especially the "live classic"[14] song "Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)" (a Stan Lewis cover), which was released as a single,[15] is frequently associated with him and continues to be an audience favorite.[1][16][17][18] The song was included on a 2001 compilation CD called Goin' South.[19] In July 2007, a forum of Guitar Player magazine readers voted Live! Go For What You Know in their top 40 of live albums.[20]
