This recording comes from comes from a time of transition for Bob Seger. The highly successful Live Bullet was released in April 1976. This album will help Bob Seger achieve a higher level of commercial success. The tour to promote Live Bullet was kind of a telling as to Bob's success being regional . He had headlined a concert at The Pontiac Silverdome with Todd Rundgren, Elvin Bishop and Point Blank in front of 78,000 people. The next day was this concert in Schaumburg, Illinois, at a Shopping Mall Club (as it's called by the DJ in his intro) in front of less than a thousand people. The tour would wrap up and Bob Seger would record the fabulous Night Moves album which sends Bob into the Billboard Charts landing at #8 and now certified 6x Platinum in sales. Live Bullet is 5x Platinum in sales.

So download this recording from the time period where the World figured out what Detroit knew all along Bob Seger Can F%#@king Rock. And yes that is a Boogie  Araingment of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love"

    Nice summation of the curious point in Mr. Seger's career this show represented.

    And of course, thanks for posting.

      Thanks La Piazza Gancio, growing up in Detroit it was weird to think that people like Bob Seger, Scott Morfan (The Rationals) The Frost, The Rockets & The Look were not as well known elsewhere in the US.

    Thanks for this show, Dave. I love early Seger live! I remember this club, which is long since gone.

      You're welcome Paul, I'm a huge fan of Seger. Growing up in Detroit you knew summer was coming because you started to hear more Bob Seger on the FM stations.

    Looking forward to listening. Curious to see if WLL is in between the Muddy Waters version and the Zeppelin version.

      Hope you enjoy it jdallenx, I grew up in Detroit Michigan so I grew up on Bob Seger's music. He was the second concert I went to. I saw him in 1977. I went to see Kiss in 1976 for my first show actually. I have seen Bob Seger multiple times. Anyway let me know what you think of the WLL cover.
