Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band.

"Against The Wind" was the eleventh album by Bob Seger with his band The Silver Bullet Band, and it achieved great success until it reached the top of the charts and was the album that had the honor to unseat that put to "The Wall" by Pink Floyd.
Full of slow and very quiet songs, they were the perfect claim to sell more than five million copies, songs like "Fire Lake", "Against The Wind" or "You´ll Accomp´ny Me", make this album a of Bob Seger's masterpieces.
However, it also shows, although to a lesser extent, powerful songs such as "Her Strut" or "Betty Lou's Gettin' Our Tonight", but that large number of ballads would imply a certain relaxation when it comes to continuing to compose powerful songs as before.
Bob Seger in 1975 would undertake his first great tour of the United States and for this he formed his first accompanying group; The Silver Bullet Band.
The result of that strenuous tour is the album "Live Bullet", recorded entirely during one of the concerts at Cobo Hall in Detroit and would be the first of his works signed with the Silver Bullet.
Live Bullet is a live stunt double that collects his greatest hits from his career up to that point and would end up becoming one of the classic live albums of the seventies.
This mythical double album contains legendary themes such as the initial and rabid "Nutbush City Limits", the precious "Turn The Page" or the powerful and successful "Ramblin Gamblin Man".
There is also room for powerful rock like Heavy Music or the rock and roll "Get Out Of Denver" or "Let It Rock" by Chuck Berry or "Bo Diddley" from the mythical guitarist of Rhythm and Blues.
A mythical live where the content makes an audience excited with a Seger and his band in a state of grace enjoy in the four grooves.
