Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band (pics)
 

Last night, goodgirl and I went to see a long time favorite performing artists, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band at Staples Center, courtesy of LeRoy and DTICash. We had a great time. I am not sure how I went 40+ years with never seeing him in concert, but that has been resolved.

Thanks again, LeRoy, we had a blast. Anyone that wants to see all the pics, they are at http://www.gotbaddog.com/bob-seger-c...taples-center/

Cool...he's great in concert! Probably seen him 4-5 times, but not for several years.

Looks like he's still quite popular after all these years.I remember many of his tunes growing up

Awesome pics Baddog!! I had a great time and was amazed hes' 66 years old!!

Glad we got to hang out

Here's a video too :)

I was reading earlier that he went back on the road in 2006 after an 11 year layoff and had no problem selling out the entire tour.

:thumbsup I will have to get goodgirl's up (if it came out)

Haven't seen him but always wanted to.

Looked like a good time!

Seger is awesome at any age. Great shots from the audience Baddog!!! :)

:thumbsup

Thanks. There were a lot more that did not make the cut than did. I never tried shooting something like that. I need a lot more practice.

Oh....Those Damn Hollywood Nights!

Ah, the many nights driving with this playing on the stereo, the ultimate rock and roll band touring song... :thumbsup



Nice pix Baddog, thanks for sharing!

ADG

I'm going to see him tonight (Friday night) at Mandalay Bay here in Vegas

nice pics

Looks like a full house, Nice to see, that after all these years he still draws so good. Like his songs:thumbsup

Great band.

All that white hair and nobody does magic tricks? WTF, Baddog?

That's one special concert I yet have to experience. Didn't realize that he's still touring.

Great pics.

Enjoy. If there was a way I could swing it, I would not hesitate to see him again two days later. :1orglaugh

great band and great pics :thumbsup

LOVE Bob Seger!!! Hope he does an Asian leg for his tour.

going to check him out jan 12th in south florida..never seen him either and I grew up in southeast michigan! its crazy

Looks like quite the show! :)

Bob
 

I love Seger. Would go see him again.

Unfortunately, the only live concert I saw, he led of for BB King. He had been the Bob Seger Sound System and just changed the the Silver Bullet Band.

After his set, nobody clapped. The manager said, if we didn't clap there would be no encore. At that point the audience started booing.

Glad he got it back together.

You must have seen one of his first concerts.

yes it was
 

Really sad, As every time Ramblin Gamblin Man came on the radio, had to watch my speed as it got my foot to tapping on the gas pedal.
Since BB King was the headliner, could never figure out the pairing. Tough crowd,. the Beatles or Rolling Stones would have had a tough time with that crowd. They wanted Blues.

As I said, love Bob. We all have bad days, maybe it was just one of his.
Against the Wind is one of the greatest songs ever and this concert predated that.

About 4 years ago, I found a CD of BB Kings' set.

To paraphrase WC Fields, about Vaudeville, KC is the worst town to play. 'Farmers have seen fires, floods, cattle stampedes and tornadoes. After all that, everything is boring.'
That's why in the Movie International House, he insulted KCMO & KCKS. "I'm not lost, Kansas City is lost."

Hopefully Boob makes it back to town.

If you have never heard James McMurty (Alt Country), you have to hear him. Did the opening song for "Beer For MY Horses." "Strap those kids in the SUV, give them a shot of Benedrille and a Cherry Coke, we're going to Oklahoma, for the family reunion."

ummm, Seger is a big blues fan. Maybe slightly more upbeat, but I don't know why a blues fan would not enjoy Seger.

One of the strangest pairings I recall was the first time I saw the Stones. Lead act, Stevie Wonder. This was in 72.

Crowd makes the difference
 

It was 72 or 73
Like I said, Bob just had a bad night. Cause I have most of his albums.
Concerts can be strange. Saw the Stones sitting behind the stage, had to listen to the echo off the cement walls. Still was fun.
Saw Procol Harum 3 times. Last concert, the minute they started a song the audience was up with a standing ovation. I don't think they were any better than the other 2 times (1st was lead for Leon Russell), but it was the crowd that made the difference.

Man, Leon Russell . . . was he ever a disappointment.

Went to an outdoor, festival style concert back in the early 70's. Headliner was Leon Russell (as I recall, he was the reason I went). They had all kinds of weird acts. Pretty sure Kool and the Gang was one of the openers. Sitting in the fucking rain/drizzle all day. It was Leon Russell, this was going to be worth it.

I remember the opening. This long haired Asian (no idea the gender) came on stage with a violin and let out one long note. The crowd roared. Leon came out, announced he had been saved and proceeded to play all his new Christian stuff. Don't recall him playing any of his older stuff.
