This is a great collection of outtakes from the long career of the Motor City's Favorite Son Bob Seger. Bob Seger released his first single "Ballad Of The Yellow Beret" b/w "It's Florida Time" as the vocalist for local Detroit band Doug Brown & The Omens in 1966. The song was a parody of Sgt. Barry Sadler's hit "Ballad Of The Green Beret" and a slam against draft dodgers. Bob went solo soon after and released "East Side Story" b/w "East Side Sound" with his own group Bob Seger & The Last Heard. Under The Last Heard moniker Bob would release 4 more singles. When the band was picked up by Capitol Records they changed the name to The Bob Seger System. The Bob Seger System released 3 albums Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, Noah, and Mongrel before Bob went solo in 1971 with the "Lookin' Back" single. After that Bob released the Brand New Morning album. Brand New Morning featured Bob singing and playing either piano or acoustic guitar. The album is long out of print and Bob actually insists it never be re-released. Seek it out  it is a fantastic listen. Bob Seger's career took of when he released the Beautiful Loser album. From there a string of hit albums would follow and the world learned what Detroit knew for a long time....Bob Seger could really rock!

We had a repost request for this box set. A lot of what is on here is on the newer box sets I post about a week ago. Some tracks may not be on those boxes, I haven't compared them track by track.

JustDave's Notes:
- The bootleg company that released this CD uses CD-r's to make their releases.
- All these songs appeared on the original 4 CD version of the bootleg Lookinback The Box. For some reason the box set was cut down to a 3 CD version. These 13 songs are the songs that were left off of the 3 CD set.
- The waves tested lossy with Trader's Little Helper but I encoded the album to flac anyway so as not to lose anymore fidelity because they sound great. It could be noise reduction making them test lossy.

Notes On Songs:
- "A Broken Man" was written for Bob's 1991 album The Fire Inside and is Bob and a keyboard and is most likely a demo.
- "Can't Hit The Corners Anymore" was written for Bob's Against The Wind album and was left off due to Punch Andrews, Seger's manager, saying to Seger "It sounds like you're giving up". I read this in the Rolling Stone article with Bob Seger about the Against The Wind album.
- "Carfax Abby" is an interesting Seger ballad about to Dracula's Castle in Transylvania which sounds like more than a demo.
- "Dark Eyes" is another recording with Bob at a keyboard singing. For this one no information is given but Bob laughs at the end and the sound is that of a demo.
- "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" was written for the Road House Motion Picture Soundtrack
- "I Am Woman, You Are Man" is another recording with Bob at a keyboard singing and sounds like a demo.
- "Ivory" is said to be an outtake of the Ramblin' Gamblin' Man album. It's the same version that another bootleg calls a remix. I'm not sure what the real origion is.
- "Long Way From Home" is another recording with Bob at the piano singing which sounds like a demo to me instead of an alternate version.
- "Reckless Heart" was left off of Bob's album Like A Rock. He should have put on a B-side of a single.
- "Still Water" is said to be an outtake from 1971 which puts around the time Bob recorded Brand New Morning which was just Bob singing and playing piano or guitar. Not sure where the outtake comes from.
- "Fat Man In The Bathtub" is not on the CD it's a misprint. Track 11 is actually the song "The Fat Man" which was recorded during the sessions for the song "Blue Monday".
- "The Ring" is over 7 minutes long here while on the album Like A Rock it's just over 5 minutes.
- "Yesterday Rules" while left off the Back To The Future Soundtrack was played live off and on during the 1986 tour. This live version comes from the Saratoga Springs, New York September 11, 1986 soundboard recording which circulates as a bootle.

JustDave's Notes:
- All of CD1 songs were omitted due to being commercially available
- All of CD2 except for "Chances Are (with Martina McBride)" were replaced with copies from my LPs because they sound better than those used.
- CD3 Tracks 18-22 tested as MPEG 100% so they were replaced with lossless tracks from my copy of the August 11, 1986 soundboard recording from Saratoga Springs, New York.

Notice:
- All the tracks on CD One have been released on the CD Heavy Music The Complete Cameo Recordings 1966-1967. Since they are available I have omited those tracks and prepared an alternate CD One from my Bob Seger and Bob Seger Related Collection. This new CD One has tracks from: The Third Power featuring Drew Abbott before joining The Silver Bullet Band : The Assemblage featuring Robyn Robyns on keyboards before joining The Silver Bullet Band : Ormandy featuring Alto Reed on saxophone before joining The Silver Bullet Band : Out of print Bob Seger tracks that I think you will enjoy.

Notes On Tracks:

Disc One
- Track 01 An early public service message recorded by Bob Seger
- Track 02 1974's "This Old House" is the Holy Grail if you will for Bob Seger Collectors. The B-Side to the single version of "U.M.C. (Upper Middle Class)" was never released on an album. Later in Bob's career he re-wrote the lyrics and the song became the hit single "We Got Tonight".
- Tracks 03-05 & 16 from the Distance Recording sessions 1982
- Tracks 06-14 & 17 from the Like A Rock Sessions 1985/1986.
- Track 15 from the Blue Monday sessions 1988.

- Track 02-07 from the Like A Rock Sessions 1985/1986
- Tracks 09, 10 & 13 recorded live at The Orphanage Club, San Francisco, CA May 14, 1974.
- Tracks 11 & 12 were rcorded circa 1971.
- Track 14 is an alternate mix or re-mix of the 1969 song from the Ramblin' Gamblin' Man album.

Disc Three:
- Track 01 was recorded live 1996 supposedly recorded live in 1996.

JustDave's Notes:
- Portland Expo Building Portland, Oregon, USA September 30, 1970 is the oldest known recording of Bob Seger with The Bob Seger System. Recorded by Joey Maloney on a mono reel to reel recorder.
- Cleveland, Ohio March 1973 is a live recording of Bob Seger & The Borneo Band sometimes called My Band. This band, after being fired by Bob Seger for unreliability, would go on to back Eric Clapton on his infamous 1974 tour where the band and Eric Clapton were all too drunk, rugged or both for the shows.
- Aragon Ballroom, Dallas, Texas, March 1974 is a recording of the early Silver Bullet Band. At this time Alto Reed was not a member of The Silver Bullet Band
- Oh Carol/God Love And Rock & Roll was performed at The Benefit Concert given in Ann Arbor Michigan for John Sinclair manager of The MC5 who was jailed for 2 marijauna joints and faced 10 years to life in prison. John Sinclair was a huge figure in the 1960s counter culture and leader of The White Panther Party that the establishment wanted silenced.

JustDave's Notes:
- The artwork says these are FM broadcast ecordings except for CD Four which is said to be a soundboard. The shows are all audience recordings.
- The Boston show is of note due to it having a live version of "Sunburst" a song that was rarely performed live.
- Added fade in/fade out to beginning and end of CD2 and CD3 as they both started abruptly.
- Fixed a bad edit at the end of CD3 Track 02 "Mary Lou".
- Deleted a repeated musical phrase at the beginning of CD4 track 01 "Feel Like A Number" where the line "Dear sir letters keep coming in the mail repeated.
- Added fade in/fade out to beginning and end of CD4.

JustDave's Notes:
- Since the cover calls the box set Playin' Star Again Volume 5 I tagged the files with that title. The CDs however have the title Never Gonna Slow Down Volume 5 which is why it is also named in the above information.
- All sources for this box set are audience recordings of very good quality. Of course this is always subject to the listener's opinion.
- All files tested lossy.
- All tracks had silence at the beginning and end which had to be removed.
- With the tracks testing lossy and having silence that needed to be removed from beginning and end these 4 CDs have to be (badly) sourced from MP3s.
- The artwork has quite a few mistakes in track titles: Disc Two track 01 is identified as "Like A Rock", the song is actually "Boomtown Blues": Disc Two track 02 is identified as "It's A Mystery" but is actually "Even Now": Disc Two track 07 is identified as "Katmandu" but is actually "Sometimes": Disc Two track 08 is identified as "Waiting For The Encore" but is actually "Night Moves": Disc Two track 09 is identified as "Night Moves" but is actually "Hollywood Nights": Disc Two track 10 is identified as "Hollywood Nights" but is actually "Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight": On Disc Two there was no tracks 11, 12, or 13 but they were marked on the cover art.

JustDave's notes:

Great stuff! Bob Seger & Jason Aldean dueting on 8 tracks and chatting in between. This thing is worth the down load just for the guys duet on "Turn The Page"! I can't be more happy about the way the audio turned out here. CMT edited in clips of future songs right before interviews and some songs as well. These were distracting to the listening experience so I edited these out to make things flow better. Don't miss this one Bob Seger fans I think this might be the first broadcast or soundboard source to surface from Bob Seger's latest comeback. I'm not sure though.

Another great sounding performance from early in the Silver Bullet Band era of Bob Seger's career. This comes from a Pre-FM vinyl source. Bob starts the show off by playing a couple acoustic songs before calling the band out. What follows is a classic example of why Detroit loved Bob Seger so much, the man and band could kick some major Rock & Roll ass!! With a majority of this concert coming from unreleased numbers, this boot is a must have for all Bob Seger fans. Once again the recording comes from a time before sax man Alto Reed would join so the lead instrument on "Turn The Page" is the keyboard much like the original studio version on Back In '72.

Tommy "Alto Reed" Cartmell passed away from colon cancer December 30, 2020, he was 72.

As a lot of you who follow this blog know Bob Seger's music is very special to me. My childhood memories are rapped with his songs. One of my first concerts was Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band at Cobo Hall Arena. It was the Stranger In Town Tour, the opening act was a Southern Rock Band called Toby Beau. I went to this show with my best friend/cousin/partner in crime Jamie. His Mom & Dad and 2 more sets of Aunt & Uncles were going and had 2 extra tickets. I had snuck out in 1976 to see Kiss at Cobo. I also snuck out in 1978 to see Black Sabbath at Cobo with Van Halen, I was done for.

The following year I joined my first Garage/Basement band, my cousin Jamie went to the audition with me. He went to almost every audition with me. When my band Psychosis started touring Jamie was my roadie & personal security. When we lost him to a motorcycle accident it was too much. At first I couldn't listen to music for a while. Everything seemed to stir up to many memories. I almost quit the blog too (true story JD). Music finally brought me out of my depression. Bob Seger music especially, well Jamie gets to meet Alto Reed now. Rock & Roll Heaven just got another Bad Ass Sax Player....I always wanted to see Clarence Clemons & Alto Reed jamming together!! Jamie could be their roadie.

Three great broadcasts in one convenient box set. These three broadcasts have been repackaged by a lot of bootleggers. This box set has awesome sound. The recordings used are of fine quality and very enjoyable. I was at the Cobo 1980 shows. I had tickets for every show for that run. I forget how many there were, all of them were recorded for the Nine Tonight album. Only a couple songs made the album, most came from the Boston 1980 run. My first time I went to a Seger concert was 1978 Cobo Hall Detroit for the Stranger In Town Tour. There was a Southern Rock band called Toby Beau opening. They had a hit single out called "Angel Baby". I remember Toby Beau's lead guitarist came out with a banjo and did like a 5 minute solo (although my Aunt who was there swears it was 15 minutes) before they played their album track "Bull Dog", which is about a gunfight. I have heard and seen many bands do a guitar solo. That was the first time I saw a band do a banjo solo. Bob was awesome that night in 1978. During "Turn The Page" Alto Reed was on wires playing on top of the amps. He then jumped up and was swung over the middle of Cobo Arena. He then did a Sax solo spinning in one direction then spinning the other way as well. I did not expect anything like that from Bob Seger, Kiss maybe, not Bob Seger. I have not missed a tour of Seger's, Rosebud and I saw him together on the last couple of tours. She said he was awesome. I told her you should have saw him in the 1970's...

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"

A good sounding recording of a live in studio broadcast. Bob & the band seem to be having a good time jamming. Of the 10 songs performed only 4 were ever recorded by Seger. The rest are just songs they liked playing together. The Borneo Band, or My Band as they were fist called, was Bob's first backing band. The Last Herd or The Bob Seger System, as they are better known, was a band with Bob being the main song writer. When Bob first went solo he used Teegarden and Van Winkle, or played with just an acoustic guitar or piano. He formed the Borneo Band to record the Back In 72 album. This was the beginning of his long musical relationship with Alto Reed, then called Tom Cartmell. By the end of 1973 Bob would fire The Borneo Band for being too unreliable. Simms, Oldecker, and Levy joined Eric Clapton's band, Bob formed the Silver Bullet Band, at first without Alto Reed. He wouldn't join the Silver Bullet Band till Beautiful Loser.

Alto Reed was not a touring member of The Silver Bullet Band at the time of these recordings. Broadcast was compiled from 2 prior broadcasts from 1974. The broadcast was sometime in the 1990's. The bootleg was sourced from vinyl, there are some pops present but not distracting. I did run a passive pop/click fix with Goldwave. I bought this CDR bootleg at a small used CD store for $4.00. There was only a printed insert with a track list. I ripped the waves with EAC to run the pop fix and convert to mp3. I had just installed Traders Little Helper so I ran a check on the waves and they came up 100% CDDA so I encoded to flac level 8 instead.

This is a great early Bob Seger show with emphasis on his blues roots. There 4 songs in the set Bob never recorded : J.J Cale's "Bringing It Back From Mexico" , Houndog Taylor's "See Me In The Evening", Albert King's "Don't Burn Down The Bridge" and the Bob Seger Original "Full Circle".

Dick Simms (R.I.P.) - keyboards, pedal bass (died Dec. 8, 2011) (aged 60)
Sergio Pastora - percussion, congas
Tom Cartmell aka Alto Reed (R.I.P.) - saxophones
Marcy Levy - backing vocals
Shaun Murphy - backing vocals

I have not compared this FM recording with the one found here on our blog dated May 2, 1973 to see if they are the same show. Even if they are this one offers a different set list including songs and running order. The band line-up information and info for the date come from the original uploader to The Traders Den where I got it from. So here you go MORE RARE OLD SEGER!!

This one shows a little age but is a completely enjoyable listen and a must for all fans of Bob Seger. The long jam on "Turn The Page" is worth downloading this boot right now. Alto Reed takes a long solo and the band jams on, as the song morphs into "Heavy Music / Let It Rock". After that long jam the band plays a solid rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Baby, Please Stop Messin' Around". The final encore of Bobby "Blue" Bland's "Turn On Your Love Light" is unfortunately not included. According to sources the Bob Seger System's "Lucifer" was also played but not aired.
