Music reviews of Nine Tonight "Live"
Music Review: Bob Seger's second live album still rocks 30 years on
Rating: 5 Stars
Detroit rocker Bob Seger and his Silver Bullet Band released its second live album entitled Nine Tonight in September of 1981.
Nine Tonight was Seger's thirteenth album in total. I think that this live album is just as good, if not better than the first live album, 1976's Live Bullet (which saw a young, hungry Seger prior to stardom whereas Nine Tonight captures him at the height of his success with the #1 album Against the Wind).
Half of Nine Tonight, like Live Bullet, was recorded at the legendary Cobo Hall in Detroit, MI (tracks 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14) in June of 1980 and the album's other eight tracks (tracks 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 15 and 16) were recorded at the long demolished Boston Garden in my native Boston, MA back in October, 1980 and mixed at Bayshore Recording Studios in Florida by Bill Szymczyk (who produced albums for The Eagles, Joe Walsh, J Geils Band and The Who).
Seger is joined by longtime Silver Bullet members bass player Chris Campbell and sax player Alto Reed (both of whom are still in the band today) and guitarist Drew Abbott (whom would leave The Silver Bullet Band during The Distance sessions in 1982). There were some changes to The Silver Bullet Band lineup since Live Bullet. First, drummer Charlie Allen Martin was paralyzed in a car accident in 1977 and was replaced by David Teegarden (whom would also leave the band after Nine Tonight's release). Second, keyboard player Robyn Robbins was replaced in 1980 by ex-Grand Funk Railroad keyboard player Craig Frost (whom made his debut on Nine Tonight and is still in The Silver Bullet Band today).
The only two exclusive tracks on Nine Tonight is the opening title cut which was from the movie "Urban Cowboy" released in 1980. The track was intended for Against the Wind but the producer for the "Urban Cowboy" soundtrack album (Eagles manager Irving Azoff) had the song ready for inclusion on the album (UC). Then we segue into the album's biggest hit "Tryin' To Live My Life Without You" which is a great song.
Nine Tonight also features blistering live versions of tracks from Seger's three million sellers 1976's Night Moves (represented by "Mainstreet", "The Fire Down Below", the title cut to Night Moves and "Rock and Roll Never Forgets"), 1978's Stranger in Town (represented by "Hollywood Nights", "Old Time Rock and Roll", "Feel Like a Number" and "We've Got Tonight") and 1980's chart topper Against the Wind (represented by "You'll Accomp'ny Me', the album's title cut, his ode to Jane Fonda "Her Strut", "Fire Lake" and "Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight").
We end the album, like Live Bullet, with "Let it Rock". This version is more electrifying than on the Live Bullet version clocking in at over 10 plus minutes. The CD however features an edited version because otherwise, it would have been believed back in 1989, that the track would exceed the maximum playing time on a CD or it would have become a 2 CD set (CDs can fit up to 80 minutes of music). The LP label gave Let it Rock's playing time as 8 minutes and 26 seconds but it is actually 10 minutes and 35 seconds. The CD version is only a little over 6 minutes and uses the ending of The Fire Down Below to end the track instead of the big finale so that's my only gripe about the CD (I hope a remastered CD is released soon with the full version like on the original LP, cassette and 8-track issues).
Nine Tonight was released to massive sales and the album peaked at #3 on the Billboard album charts and sold millions upon release. The album deserves to be re-released in its full glory and can fit on one CD no problem or worse comes to worse, re-release it on two (I'll be a first day buyer).
Highly recommended!
