Wish Bob would come across the Atlantic .... Slane or the Like crying out for a legend ... Serious following for Bob and the Silver Bullet Band In Ireland....
I know he gets paid for this, but just look at the fun onstage he is having. This was when music was fun to listen to. Between Seger and Skynerd, the two best "jam" bands ever.
Never get enough Bob Seger...been rockin' my world for 40 years! I have to Get out of Denver, do the Horizontal Bop and go to Katmandu with him on a daily basis or my day isn't right. LOL
@holtc1 Seger did perform Get out of Denver at a handfull of shows during his last tour...But Let It Rock has sadly been replaced by Rock and Roll Never Forgets.
There is an actual true recording of this that was released on cassette and album around 1981. Is there anyone out there that has the full recording? Future releases cut about 2 minutes off the end. Please people!!!!
Definitely an evergreen! In Italy Bob Seger was ever been a "cult" artist, not very famous, or at least not like Springsteen, for instance. Anyway at those times he was going to be a real legend.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EVER. SO GLAD BOB WROTE THIS SONG. AND ON THE LIVE BULLET ALBUM. IT'S A SHAME THAT SEGER'S MANAGEMENT MISPLACED THE VIDEO TO LIVE BULLET. BUT MAYBE SOMEDAY I HOPE IT WILL TURN UP.
The style it was played is from Nine Tonight but the best sax display was at Market Square in 1978 where Alto Reed was standing high upon a speeker, jumped off, swung out over our heads spinning in mid air while playing. Fastened to a belt he played and flipped suspended about 30 feet above us.
1978 Pine Knob....Bob Segar, wow...nobody could tell me sh*t. to this day when i need some attitude to deal with some BS. i crank up Live Bullit on the way. with some of those tracks going round in my head, thats when i do the talkin, they do the listening. it aplifies every rowdy cell in my body.
@lonz46 If you are talking about his throat cancer rumor back in the mid to late 70's that was a myth. I listened to a interview with Bob and stated that rumor started in 1976 where people heard he had throat cancer. He stated i never happened.
this is from Nine Tonight not Live Bullet.....last track on the album if memory serves me....still have the LP and the CD...and its Smokin Opies not LPs lol
It's on all three. Both of his live albums close with it. I still can't believe the energy Seger put into his live shows... and never did I heard him sound even a little bit tired. I really wish there was more archived footage from his heyday. Thanks for posting, as this is about all we got.
This is similar to the Live Bullet version. Bob Seger did not introduce himself and his bandmates like he did on the LB version. You're thinking of the edited version on the Nine Tonight CD. Originally,the LP and cassette versions play for 10 minutes(estimate)
Sure, Chuck Berry did it originally. Nonetheless, no one could have made as kick-ass take of it as Bob Seger. The live version is probably the greatest classic rock track i've ever heard.
thank god my parents loved classic rock. To think i could have got caught up in the boy band craze that happened around my youth.
Anyone know if he ever released a cover of Johnny B Goode? that would be sweet.
I hate to correct you but,the NINE TONIGHT album was recorded in 1980 and released the following year. This very concert was not used for the album. It contained concerts recorded at Detroit's Cobo Hall(June 1980) and Boston Garden(October 1980).
ahe did this song on the live bullet album from the 70's , its available , my cassette tape of this wore out and i bought the cd , has katmando to , great cd
I would love to see some footage with Charlie also! I saw Bob in Springfield, IL once and St. Louis, Mo 5 times. Awesome every time. Live Bullett is my favorite album of all times.
The result of Charlie Allen Martin's paralysis: One day his car's gas tank had exhausted,he walked to a gas station with a can,minutes later when he was returning to his car with the gas,a passing motorist failed to yield to Martin and ran him over. Fortunately,he survived but sadly didn't recover. Martin's successor David Teegarden worked with Seger on Seger's 1972 album,SMOKIN' O.P.'S.
Watching this gave me the chance to hear the unedited version of LET IT ROCK which sounds very much like the one from NINE TONIGHT. I have NT on CD but never the LP or cassette(LP and cassette has the full 10 minute version just like LIVE BULLET). My cousin at least,did once have the NT LP and back in early '82 at his then-home in Jackson,Maine,I heard some of the album. The version from LB,Bob Seger introduced his fellow Silver Bullet bandmates,all six hail from Michigan.
One of my favorite Seger songs. Bob and the boys always rock this one out. Look up rock and roll in the dictionary and you will fing Bob doing this song. Long live Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band!!!
I misspoke. I didn't mean it was Bob's song. I meant that he rocked it out hard. My bad for not clarifying. Chuck was obviously one of the best. Bob, however really did a great cover.
The Nine Tonight version just kicked ass! Was recorded at the long demolished Boston Garden. The versions on the 1980 tour trumped the Live Bullet versions by a longshot.
In the LIVE BULLET version,Bob Seger introduces himself and his five Silver Bullet bandmates,all hailing from Michigan. This video and the NINE TONIGHT version are definitely more electrifying than the LB version. Paralysis forced Charlie Allen Martin out of the SBB.
The Nine Tonight version was recorded in my native Boston at the old Boston Garden. I have that full 10 and a half minute version on CD thanks to converting from a mint condition LP to CD (easily fir whole double LP on CD, came in at 79 minutes). I refrain from buying the real Nine Tonight on CD until the full album is re-released with all 10 plus minutes of Let it Rock. The 1980 versions had more fire than the LB version IMHO! It is indeed a sad story on what happened to SBB's first drummer.
I went to 5 shows during this last tour including the last 3 in Detroit!!! FRONT ROW for each of the 5 concerts. I have never done anything like this in my entire life but it was worth every penny!! If he had ever done this in front of me...WOW!! The man is still the best, the absolute best!!!
awesome.....Love it ......it brings back so many memories that Im just lost in the music.Rock just don't dont get any better then Bob Seger... then or ever again.
I recently went to his concert March 3, 2007 Las Vegas MGM Grand Garden Arena for $75 tickets. I usually don't pay that much for concert but Seger IS the exception! The venue had a 17,000 seat capacity and I'd say it was 85 percent full. Excellent concert! He played all the hits, unlike some other artists!
This has to be the ultimate. Alto blows the roof off w/that sax. Love the Chuck Berry bit. OMG what a show this had to have been. Love all the JUMPING and gettin down that he did back then. One thing that hasn't changed though is his voice. "It' Still The Same"
they recorded Live Bullet well but no video that I know of
