Bob Seger has been one of the few high profile holdouts concerning putting his albums out on iTunes. Now, for the first time, one can download either of these amazing albums from the download store. Both are also available on CD, each with a bonus track.

Seger recorded these two gems in Detroit at different periods of his career. The first, Live Bullet, is a much funkier album and the songs, while not chart busters, are considered classics amongst his legions of fans. Beginning with the Ike & Tina Turner hit “Nutbush City,” Seger was on fire for this concert. Touring in support of his latest album, Beautiful Loser, many of these live tracks are FM radio staples including “Travelin’ Man,” “Beautiful Loser,” “Turn the Page” and “Katmandu.” Other tunes represent the early days of Seger’s career including “Jody Girl,’ “Bo Diddley,” “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man,” “Heavy Music,’ U.M.C.” and “Let It Rock.” The best word to describe this album is stunning.

Years later, after Seger had hit the big time, came Nine Tonight from his tour supporting his massive # 1 charting album Against the Wind. The live album featured two new tunes in “Nine Tonight” and “Tryin’ to Live My Life Without You.” The rest of the concert is a true hit fest and includes “Hollywood Nights,” “Mainstreet,” “You’ll Accompany Me,’ “Old Time Rock n Roll,” “Betty Lou’s Getting’ Out Tonight,” “Against the Wind,” “Fire Lake,” The Fire Down Below,” “Her Strut” and “We’ve Got Tonight” among others. Seger was on top of his game once again. One word to describe this album is brilliant.

Both live albums are ‘must owns' as they show not only the amazing voice of Seger, but also his huge fan base, and his incredible songwriting ability and showmanship.
