In the mid-1970's there was really only one guy who could truly rival Bruce Sprinsteen as the burgeoning champion of American blue-collar rock - and that man was Bob Seger. Both of these artists were renown for hard-driving, yet soulful live performances featuring powerhouse backing groups, the E-Street Band and Silver Bullet Band respectively. Bruce Springsteen broke into the big time first with his August 1975-released third album. Born To Run which reached no.3 on the Billboard charts. Seger had to wait just a little longer for his break-out into the mainstream, when his ninth album, Night Moves, released in October 1976, which finally hit no.8 on the Billboard charts in 1977. The performance on this CD is from a little earlier - July 1974 - when Bob Seger was busy rampaging across the USA steadily solidifying his reputation as an all-out rocker of the very highest calibre. By this stage he already had a supremely strong body of work to draw on for his live sets, having already released seven well-received studio albums since 1969. He had already built up a fearsome reputation in his native state, Michigan. Probably the best-known of Seger's own early compositions included on this CD is the title track 'Get Out Of Denver' (from the 1974 album Seven), which was later covered by Eddie & the Hot Rods and Status Quo amongst others. 'Rosalie' is another of Seger's better-known songs, taken from Back in '72 (1973) and most memorably covered by Thin Lizzy. The oldest Seger original here is 'Ramblin' Gamblin' Man' the title track of his 1969 debut album.
