Bob Seger Opens Tour With Some New and Some 'Old Time Rock & Roll' — billboard.com

Nobody could complain about seeing the same old Bob Seger show after the Detroit rocker and his Silver Bullet Band opened their latest tour on Wednesday night (Nov. 19) at the Dow Event Center in Saginaw, Mich. Before a packed house of partisan home state fans -- who braved a bitter chill and the season's first significant snowfall to be there -- Seger and company spiced the 23-song, two-hour and 10-minute show with a generous selection  from Ride Out, his first album of all-new material in eight years. With an expanded Silver Bullet Band that swelled to 15 members at full power and showed off Nashville veteran Deanie Richardson on fiddle, Seger tapped Ride Out for six songs, including rootsy fare such as "The Fireman's Talkin' " and his renditions of Steve Earle's "The Devil's Right Hand" and the Wilco/Billy Bragg/Woody Guthrie synthesized "California Stars," as well as the pensive and dramatic "Gates of Eden."
