'Live' Bullet

Alongside the multiplatinum <i>Night Moves</i>, <i>'Live' Bullet</i> made 1976 Bob Seger’s breakthrough year. Recorded in the band’s hometown stronghold of Detroit, <i>Bullet</i> is a perfect specimen of no-fuss rock ’n' roll, drawing on what was already more than a decade of material, from inspired covers (“Bo Diddley”, Tina Turner’s “Nutbush City Limits”) to now-timeless originals (“Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man”, the journeyman’s lament “Turn the Page”). You can almost hear Seger turning himself inside-out onstage—or, in the words of the band’s introducer: “You are here because you want the real thing”.
