BOB SEGER & THE SILVER BULLET BAND : NINE TONIGHT |
|
Label : Capitol Records Release Year : 1981 Venue : Cobo Hall, Detroit, Michigan, USA + Boston Garden, Boston, Massachussets, USA Recording Date : June 1980 + October 1980 Length : 79:59 Review (AllMusic) : A live album, 1976's exceptional Live Bullet, had launched Bob Seger's career, and Seger returned to the format a second time five years later with 1981's Nine Tonight. The album is comprised of versions of songs from Seger's previous three best-sellers: 1976's Night Moves, 1978's Stranger in Town, and 1980's Against the Wind. While Seger and his Silver Bullet Band can stretch out in a concert setting, the live versions here stick pretty close to their original studio versions. The cut of "Old Time Rock & Roll" included here proves to be even better than the original, while such Seger standards as "Against the Wind," "Night Moves," and "Rock & Roll Never Forgets" also prove to be highlights. |
