Customer Reviews
Hard to see how anyone could be disappointed with this.
The choice of songs is pretty good as well, and although there are a couple of lesser tracks to be found, there is certainly no need to program out anything. Seger and the Silver Bullet Band start off with a hard-rocking version of Tina Turner's "Nutbush City Limits", but most of the songs are Seger originals (the exceptions being Bo Diddley's eponymous first hit, Van Morrison's "I've Been Working", and Chuck Berry's "Let It Rock" - credited to E. Anderson!).
The shave-and-a-haircut beat is there, yet "Bo Diddley" doesn't pack the same punch in the hands of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band as it did when it was Bo Diddley himself hamfistedly attacking his square-shaped guitar, and "I've Been Working" is one of Van Morrison's lesser tunes. (And besides, Seger is not Van Morrison.)
But almost everything else works, from the melodious mid-tempo shuffles "Travelin' Man" and "Beautiful Loser" to the fiery hard rocker "Get Out Of Denver". The Chuck Berry-homage "Katmandu" is fun ("homage" is a nice way of putting it), and the Silver Bullet Band lay down excellent, slightly bluesy grooves on "Lookin' Back" and "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man".
If you're a Bob Seger fan, you probably have this album already. If you don't, get it.
If you are relatively new to Mr Seger and his particular 70s amalgam of rock, pop and R&B, this is a good place to start. And if you just want a few essential Seger albums on your shelf, go for this one, the "Greatest Hits" album, and the equally enjoyable live offering "Nine Tonight".
Still wondering why "Let It Rock" is credited to E. Anderson?
Berry's full name is Charles Edward Anderson Berry. Cute, isn't it?
This newly remastered release restores the atmosphere which, whilst abundant on the original vinyl version, was sadly lacking in the initial CD production.
For me, Seger's other live album - "Nine Tonight" - has a slight edge over this one, because the development of the artist's catalogue between the two releases added some great new songs to the repertoire, obvious examples being "Night Moves" and "Rock and Roll Never Forgets".
So far as I know, however, "Nine Tonight" has NOT as yet been remastered, and the original suffers the same lack of atmosphere which applied to this one prior to remastering.
Therefore, if you're looking to add Seger's superlative live power to your collection - or to replace earlier much-loved vinyl versions - buy this one now but leave "Nine Tonight" until the (surely inevitable) release of the remastered version.
