Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band: 1978-09-22 Boston, MA (FLAC_AUD Master_2 CD)

This is another excellent-to-superb capture and a stereo audience recording of the second night Bob Seger played in Boston in 1978.  Bob Seger has made some great songs over the years and this show proves it.  With songs in his catalog like "Turn The Page" and "Night Moves", they're proof of the talent in lyrical writing as well as musical writing too of the band.  With an old time rock and roll kind of sound, mixed with an almost country style of music, the songs each tell a story of their own.  And this night is a great chapter in the story too.

This recording is so good and it really brings out the instruments in this concert too.  And the same goes for vocals and backup vocals also.  With guitars, horns, keys, and vocals all mixed so well, it really shines.  The natural mix is excellent and no EQ or audio alterations were done either.  This may be the best Bob Seger concert I've heard from his 1970's - 1980's concerts.

I hope you enjoy the show...

Bob Seger: 2011-04-16 Atlantic City, NJ (AUD Shot_2 DVD)

Bob Seger is an artist I've always liked but haven't done as much collecting of his show from over the years.  It's probably in part because there aren't a whole lot of them out there.  And some that are do not have the great capture like this one has and a few flat out sound bad (not the show, just the recording of it).  I probably have about 10 to 15 shows of his and about half of them are poor recordings.  I'd really like to get a good DVD of his Houston Summit show from the 1970's as well as his Largo, MD show from 1980 because those two videos have horrible audio in what has surfaced so far.

This upload is a superb quality show that was shot almost three years ago and has been on my hard drive just waiting to be put to DVD.  And since I'm looking for something a little different in the archives to check out for the first time (other than previewing it), I figured this would be a great show to share and watch myself.  The specifications on this DVD build, as well as the previewing of it, tell me the person who filmed the show and built the DVD set did so in the best and highest quality/standards.  I'm thinking they had an unobstructed view and used a tripod due to the stability and superb quality of the video.  And with the LPCM audio stream, they definitely went all out on this one!

Thanks goes to "tapehead2" for capturing the show in such high quality and for building the 2 DVD set in such a high quality, professional manner.  Way to go!  I wish more audience shot shows were near this well built.

I'm not sure how this show fell between the cracks (or folders) on my hard drive and why I haven't checked it out much, much earlier?  All I know is I haven't and I am going to burn it to DVD and watch it sometime today.

Bob Seger is a very talented artist and has been in the game of music making for a long time.  He's written some excellent songs and lyrics that have described life and situations better than most people could have done in an article.  Many of songs tell a story too.  I may not understand or know the story behind some of the stories on a song like "Katmandu", but nevertheless, most of them are songs people can relate to and I like when an artist can do that.  My favorites have always been "Night Moves" and "Beautiful Loser".  I've never had the chance to see him live before.  But since he's touring a lot these last few years once again, if I get a chance, I'm going!

I hope you enjoy the show...

Bob Seger And The Silver Buller Band: 1978-12-01 Chicago, IL (FLAC_AUD_2 CD)

This a a very good recording of the Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band show from Chicago Stadium in 1978.  The recording is very good but had the tape hiss that many bootleggers got in their recordings during the "tape days".  I took the liberty of remastering (slightly) the audio and removing as much hiss as I could and then working with some other audio tools to reinstate the more full, vibrant, and live show experience sound.  It definitely sounds better now than it did with the hiss.  The hiss seldom can be completely removed, but it can be cleaned up in most cases, and this is an example of that.

The song that got me to listening to Bob Seger in the 1980's was "Night Moves".  It takes me to a special place and time in my mind.  I remember living outside of Houston and having just broken up with my girlfriend, Sheil Sargent, because she was "running around".  I was young and really hurting and decided to go outside, turn on my Chevelle's  stereo, and just sit outside listening to the radio in the nighttime environment.  It was one of those fall nights where it was getting cold, but that was the perfect setting for the mood I was in too.  I could hear a train off in the distance and the sky was flickering lightning too but it was not raining.  Just then, I really heard for the first time (I'd heard the song many times before) the lyrics...

"I woke last night to the sound of thunder,
How far off I sat and wondered,
Starting humming a song from 1962 (I substituted it for 1982),
Ain't it funny how the night moves,
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose,
Ain't it strange how the night moves...with autumn closing in"

Those lyrics, to this day, remind me of that cool night out front of my house and how they spoke just what I was feeling.

I never have collected a lot of Bob Seger music, but he was/is a talented artist and he definitely had some music that hit home at times.

Anyhow; now that I've told you my life's story, I hope you enjoy the rest of the show... :-)
