Bob Seger was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2004, aong with George Harrison, Prince, Traffic, Jackson Browne, and ZZ Top. As mentioned in our Tom Petty post earlier today, the Hall confounded folks by including the Heartbreakers with Petty but ignoring the Sil ver Bullet Band when it came to Seger. 

This soundboard recording captures Seger, sans the silver Bullet Band, but with Jason Aldean on October 28, 2014, a dozen years ago today.  The two were filming an episode of the long running show, CMT Crossroads, which pairs which pairs country music artists with musicians from other music genres.

2000s - #4: On June 17, 1996, at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band closed their show with Rock and Roll Never Forgets from the Night Moves album. Seger fans would need a long memory because that would be his last live performance for over a decade. Seger told the Contra Costa Times that “I took about a nine-year period to raise my kids. “It was just really important to me to not leave my wife with the whole thing. And to go to all the things that you go to, whether it is cheer leading practice or marching-band practice or games or birthdays -- the whole nine yards. I just wanted to be there for that.” Seger returned to touring in late 2006, selling out show after show, leading him to extend the run into 2007. This soundboard recording captures him in his hometown of Detroit on March 15, 2007, 19 years ago today.
