Bob Seger - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 7-8-1974

Here's a Bob Seger concert from 1974. In terms of sound quality, this may be the earliest live record of Seger that sounds this good.

Seger achieved massive success in 1976. In that year, he sold millions with his live album "Live Bullet," and then later in year sold millions more with his studio album "Night Moves." Prior to that, he'd been in the music business for many years, but usually at the level of playing at clubs. He'd had just one song in the U.S. Top Forty, "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" in 1968. The venue he was performing in here, Ebbets Field, only held a couple of hundred people. Whereas a few years later, he would be filling enormous arenas and even stadiums.

So it's interesting to hear Seger before he hit the big time. About half of the songs here would appear on his "Live Bullet" album two years later. But the other half are songs that would soon be permanently dropped from his concert set lists.

The reason we have this bootleg recording with outstanding sound quality is because many concerts at this Ebbets Field venue at the time were broadcast on a local radio station. So they were professionally recorded. I've already posted a few others of those, and I plan to post a lot more in the future.

This album is an hour and eight minutes long.

The cover photo is from a concert at the Highway Drive-in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on October 19, 1974. The original was in color, but the colors were off. So, I think for the first time for this blog, I actually colorized a color picture. I like the new colors a lot better.
