Hello beautiful people. It's been quite sometime since I have updated this deal, and I figured, why the hell not do it today? Especially since today is the day I be heading to Conseco Fieldhouse to catch my man Bob Seger and his Silver Bullet Band. I am quite stoked for this show, especially since he is one of my top 5 favorite non-hard rockers, although he can rock just as hard as any hard rocker. A lot of people who know of Seger would not know that because of his most popular songs, but god damn, the man can rock! So, in tribute to my kick ass time I will be having today, I have decided to post a few Seger songs that I think rock pretty damn hard. I only hope he plays these tonight in Indy! But, if he doesn't, I know he'll put on a hell of a show. So, here you go with the Seger:
"Her Strut" - A classic on rock radio, but not recognized as one of his major songs, so unfortunately, not as many people know this as, say, "Against the Wind" or "Night Moves" (Both great, classic tunes)
"Get Out of Denver" - A concert staple in his early days and featured on his breakthrough live record "Live Bullet" (one of the great albums of all time), this tune just rocks and rolls with grit and is a very killer tune. (Check out the "Live Bullet" album when you get the chance. You will not regret it!)
"Sunspot Baby" - Another tune that has been played on rock radio a bit, it is a great rockin' tune off of his popular "Night Moves" record. One of my favorite Seger tunes ever since I was a kid.
"Feel Like a Number" - A concert staple during the most popular period of his career, as well as another rock radio hit, this tune from his 1978 album "Stranger in Town" is just straightforward, kick ass rock n' roll that has lyrics that them misfits can relate to and connect with.
"Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight" - Last, but certainly not least, is another rollicking tune from the 1980 album "Against the Wind" (my first Seger album I heard) about a little lady who likes to have herself quite the time, because her momma said that it was alright. This song live is just full of energy, especially when he played it when I saw him 5 years ago at the same place I'm seeing him again tonight!
Now, I'm not the only hard rocker that digs Seger. In fact, many hard rockers dig him, in particularly Metallica and Thin Lizzy, who have covered Seger tunes in their career that have actually done well for them. Here they are below:
Metallica's version of the Seger classic, "Turn the Page"
Thin Lizzy's version of Seger's early career hit, "Rosalie" (Yes, I know I posted this earlier, but it kicks ass.)
Well, I shall go get ready for this kick ass concert I'll be attending tonight! I'm really stoked about seeing him again and felt I should share my excitement here on this blog.
Later my friends, and enjoy the tunes,
Bonzo Brad
