the fans chose that song for bruce and he obliged . It was after the 1st set and it became a version of can you play this .The fans picked the songs , wrote the requests on placecards and Bruce played them . ( with the help of a telemonitor for the lyrics ) see other vids Higher and higher or Van's brown eyed girl on this page . Always has done covers in his sets and us fans who have seen him countless times enjoy them , in fact used to be one of the highlites . Devilinabluedressringabelldips

One of my favorite Seger songs. Bruce did a great job!!

Since when is a musician playing ONE song from another musician during a set considered an insult? That has always been considered paying homage to musical influences. Last three concerts I attended, Night Ranger did Ozzy's "Crazy Train," Styx did the Beatles' "I Am The Walrus," and *Bob Seger* himself did both a blues track I didn't recognize as well as "Little Drummer Boy." Get over it!

I can't believe all the critics on here. Bruce sang this one as a request and expressed his affection towards Seger. Of course, he's not going to blow his voice out trying to match Seger in Seger's youth. Even Bob can't get close to a "Bullet" performance anymore, but who cares. They can both still send chills up my spine.

Bruce looks fantastic! He'll never sing like Seger but his spirit and joy while performing will never be surpassed. I love them both.

@TelecontarElessar I was also at the show. you are 100% correct. these people are just looking for things to bitch about. we know the truth.
-
he did it as good as any band does it now, unless you are referring to the singing.. He's bruce springsteen, he cant sing like that
-
I think Springsteen's voice here is to raspy to give it the hard edge that Seger could back in 68. Still a great cover and he's rockin this song with everything he's got. Thanks Bruce.

Seger is a motivational singer , Springsteen is a power singer , totally different singing but there both legends if you don't like the cover move along to the thousands of other times seger has covered this song , Personally think Springsteen did a great job...

Local?? Seger is NOT LOCAL hes as known in the business as Springsteen is... this was a great tribute to Bob...
Wow, further proof that people on the internet aren't able to communicate with each other without becoming utter morons.
I'm a fan of both Springsteen and Seeger, am a Michigan native, and was actually at this concert...anybody who is offended that Bruce decided to play this needs to get their head examined. He was paying tribute to a local hero, and a guy who is a FRIEND of his, that's why he says "We love you Bobby" at the end. It's not an insult to honor a local musician and a friend.

It takes some balls to go to Detroit and do a Seger cover.
