Growing up in Detroit, Bob Seger played in a local band called Last Heard. In 1969, he scored a minor hit "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man," but mainstream success eluded him, and he quit the music business to attend college.
In 1972, Seger hit the road again only to find critical praise, but little in the way of record sales. In 1975, he formed permanent backing band Silver Bullet. With Peter Frampton's 1976 live record Frampton Comes Alive selling millions, Seger decided to record a live album of old material in an attempt to garner mainstream success. The idea worked. 'Live' Bullet, recorded in his home town of Detroit, made Seger a sudden overnight success eight years after his first attempt.
The disc starts off with the MC exclaiming "Do you want the real thing?" at which time Seger and band break into the Ike and Tina smash "Nutbush City Limits." Subsequent raucous versions of "I've Been Working" and "Turn The Page" highlight Seger's gritty vocal style. The music on the album is mostly taken from Seger's early 70's recordings. It bleeds jazzy blues colors with aspects of calypso thrown in. The band's potent mix of R&B and bar band rock-n-roll cooks on the verge of funk when the need and beat arise. Seger's 'Live' Bullet definitely gives you 'the real thing' if in-your-face rock-n-roll is what you're looking for.
