First before I get to the review of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band I'd like to briefly mention the opening act. They are Nashville band The Wild Feathers, a much cooler band than their name. I love how they have three different singers. Different but all their voices work together well. I really, really liked them. Here are two of their best songs and a cover they played so well live.
1) "Quittin' Time":
2) "Backwoods Company":
3) A cover of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down":
Bob Seger and his big and highly talented band kicked butt this past Saturday night. Although he's 74 years old Seger is still in fine voice. He and his band still plays these songs with a lot of passion. All these songs take on new life live. If you have a chance to go see him, please take full advantage of it. These songs are timeless. I do wish they would have played "Fire Lake" and "Katmandu". Although I didn't really expect them to play "Katmandu" as I don't think they've played that for years.
1) "Simplicity":
2) "Still The Same":
This isn't my favorite Bob Seger song, not even close. But this song takes on a new life when played live, sadly this video doesn't exactly capture that. 3) "The Fire Down Below":
Inspired when he was a 16 year old and wasn't allowed in clubs, he had to settle for looking through windows. That sax solo!!! 4) "Main Street":
5) "Old Time Rock & Roll":
The Rodney Crowell cover. 6) "Shame On The Moon":
He wore a Harley Davidson shirt on the night we saw him, this is a song about his love of motorcycles. 7) "Roll Me Away":
The Willie Mitchell cover. 8) "Come To Poppa":
Seger was surprised when this wasn't a big hit. But at the end of the year he received a plaque from Billboard that said this song was the most played song of 1980. 9) "Her Strut":
Inspired by running track in high school. This is a video from Salt Lake City, although it's from his 2015 concert. 10) "Like A Rock":
11) "You'll Accomp'ny Me":
This was his Mom's favorite of his songs. 12) "We've Got Tonight":
If you would have asked me my opinion about "Travelin' Man" a few days ago I wouldn't have known exactly what you were talking about. But again this is another song that really comes alive when played live. It's nice that they meld it so easily and well into "Beautiful Loser".
13) "Travelin' Man"/14) "Beautiful Loser":
13) "Travelin' Man"/14) "Beautiful Loser":
An all-time classic. 15) "Turn The Page":
Calling Bob Dylan a great songwriter, this was dedicated to many rock stars that have been lost lately. Eddie Money was one of the musicians remembered here in Salt Lake. 16) "Forever Young":
17) "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man":
Encore
