Over his career, Seger has had fifteen top twenty hits in the U.S. The rest of the evening was mostly a mix of Seger’s best known music with a number of lesser hits and a couple of album cuts thrown in. Six of the songs over the course of the evening were from Ride Out, including The Fireman’s Talkin’ which is only available on the Deluxe Edition. Listen to Seger perform “Night Moves” in 1980 via the Paste vault below.Bob Seger opened his Ride Out tour on Wednesday night at the Dow Event Center in Saginaw, MI with a mix of some of his greatest hits and music from the new album. The crowd erupted when he inserted the Lone Star State into a lyric: “Just like the Texas summertime.” Seger’s “Night Moves” is a particular highlight-It’s the perfect summer romance anthem, and he sounds absolutely flawless here.

At the time, Seger has just released the heartland rock powerhouse Against the Wind a few months prior, but he also included Night Moves favorites like the eponymous track and “Rock and Roll Never Forgets” in the setlist.

On this day in 1980, Seger performed a concert in Fort Worth, Texas, which was recorded for the radio program The King Biscuit Flower Hour. That album began a string of six consecutive top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, and it also spawned the famous title track. Bob Seger’s 1986-1987 American Storm was to be Seger’s last major tour which resulted in 105 shows over nine. and for almost 20 years was one of the top 50 live albums of all time. Alongside his Silver Bullet Band, he broke out with his 1976 album Night Moves and would go on to sell tens of millions of albums throughout his long career. The success of Live Bullet gave rise to his blockbuster follow-up album Night Moves that put Bob Seger squarely and forever after on the national stage. Fusing raspy rock ‘n’ roll with blues and soul music, Seger released tunes as American as apple pie. Say what you will about Bob Seger, but the man’s got soul.
