42 years ago, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band made their first trip to the Civic Center in Portland. The new album Stranger in Town had only been out for just over a week.
Happy Birthday to singer-songwriter and all-around working man's rock star, Bob Seger! The legend turns 75 today. How many times has he played in Maine?
39 years ago today, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band came to Portland and rocked a capacity crowd at the Civic Center. Against the Wind had been out since February of that year and remains Seger’s only Number 1 album ever.
Blimpsters sold-out the CCCC for his first appearance there on May 17, 1978. It was surely a night of rock-n-roll ecstasy that Portland, Maine will never forget.
Blimpsters heard great new songs live on that historic evening like You’ll Accomp’ny Me and Her Strut along with already classics like Turn the Page and Hollywood Nights! This was Bob's third trip to Maine.
His new album Stranger in Town had only been out for just over a week, so stuff like Hollywood Nights and Old Time Rock N’ Roll were brand-spankin' new songs on the set-list.
