Bob Seger: Another Live Album? 2006-12-27 by Jom | 2 Comments | In 1975, rock legend Bob Seger told everyone at Cobo Arena in downtown Detroit, that they "might just end up on a record." Well, Seger is going to be able to say it again this week at the Palace of Auburn Hills, where the Detroit Pistons have their home games.
Seger and his Silver Bullet Band will be filming and taping the final two nights of their four-show homestand on December 28th and 30th.
There's no word yet on what will become of the material, although a Seger source informed Billboard.com (credit to Billboard for the source) that "obviously we're intending to do something with it, sooner rather than later."
Seger told Billboard.com that the multi-night stand means that Detroit is "probably the best place to do it," but the hometown factor also works in its favor.
Says Seger:
Obviously, nobody knows our stuff better than Detroit.
Billboard also reports the following:
The idea for some sort of document of the tour -- Seger's first since 1996 -- was broached to the artist after a Nashville concert by a neighbor of songwriter/producer Emory Gordy.
"He's not in the business or anything; he just lives next door to Emory and Patti (Loveless)," Seger recalled. "I guess he went on the web sites or something, and he said 'Everybody's clamoring for a DVD. People have been saying you gotta do a DVD of this show.'"
If it takes that direction it will be Seger's first concert video of any kind. He's released two concert albums, Live Bullet in 1976 and Nine Tonight in 1981.
The taping has fans wondering if Kid Rock -- with whom Seger shares manager Punch Andrews -- will make another guest appearance to recreate their duet on Vince Gill's "Real Mean Bottle," which the two Michigan rockers recorded for Seger's latest album, Face the Promise. Rock closed the show with Seger on Dec. 20 but is scheduled to be in Iraq entertaining troops until Friday. Despite this, he's expected back in time for Saturday's concert.
"You never know with him," says Seger, who joined Kid Rock for encores at his two pre-Super Bowl XL concerts in February at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena. "We're ready to go at a moment's notice. We play it ['Real Mean Bottle'] at soundcheck. We have to be on our toes, 'cause you never know when he's gonna show up."
