I went to see him in Detroit and he announced he was going to put that concert on a live album.. That was an awesome show. Seger ripped his pants doing the James Brown splits and the band jammed for 10 minutes so he could go change. Seger is one of the few bands that sounds better live than on the album. His energy on stage is insane.

Honestly, the System was so ahead of it's time. Just look at Pep's INSANE kit (considering it's only 1970, only really Keith Moon and John Bonham were doing a similar thing) and the way he's smashing the shit out of those drums. Bob's guitar tone is as fuzzy and nasty as it ever probably was. I love the Silver Bullet Band a lot and a lot of what came after this era, but Mongrel should be held up in the same regard as his other 70's masterpieces. Definitely Seger's heaviest and rawest period

I swear Dr. Bob Seger (honorary Doctorate from Wayne State University in 1989) has the same great voice in 1966, 1978, 1989, 2005 and today! Great singer, songwriter, musician and all around great guy. I just imagine him at two years old singing "you can call me Lucifer if you think you should" in that classic Seger voice. He is Michigan! You would see him around the Detroit area, at a restaurant or at a Piston's game. He was/is always kind and gracious. Met him twice - in 1989 at Wayne State and again in 1991 at a Pistons game. Back in '93 I worked with a woman who was about 20 years older. She heard me listening to Seger one afternoon. The next day she brought in a scrapbook containing pictures of her and Bob Seger, Mitch Ryder, Ted Nugent and other Detroit area musicians from '66-68. Many of the pics were from her parent's basement in Royal Oak, MI. Guess she was kind of a groupie. Incredible pictures!
