Bob Seger Boulevard Podcast

Ever heard the Seger song "Can't Hit The Corners" - it was never released, but Bob Costas gravitated to it (feels like a sports song...right?). But there's a different meaning behind it. 

Here's the second part of our interview with Bob Costas regarding his 1990's interview with Bob Seger. What Seger song was going to be used if Ali lost his second fight with Leon Spinks and so much more... 

In the early 90s Bob Seger sat down with Bob Costas for a lengthy interview that (in my opinion) is one of his best. Bob Costas joined us from his hometown of St. Louis to talk about the interview, Bob's influence and why "Still The Same" is so special to him. 

I caught up with Silver Bullet Band member Shaun Murphy right before the final show of the tour (final show ever?) in Philly. Should Bob wrap it up in Detroit next year? If so, why? We also talk with Adam Genei of Mobsteel about his love of Bob and the idea for Seger car...

Found this great interview clip with Bob Seger and Bob Costas from back in 1992 - and they were talking about some of Bob's early gigs...including this really weird strip club in Jackson, Mi. 

What was it like playing in the Silverdome? Bob Seger talks with us about it - and he was there for one of the great moments in Lions history 

Crazy story from Bob about playing in a cave...with Ted Nugent. Love the name of the place 

What's it like being a member of the Sliver Bullet band? Shaun Murphy talks about Seger and the final tour...plus her amazing solo work (click here to check it out) 

Well this was quite a treat. One of the true greats in radio - John "Records" Landecker joined us to talk Seger (and share some amazing audio clips from an interview in 1978). Wonderful insight into the reach of Bob's music and much more. 

Bob's in studio talking about the release of his album " I Knew You When" - we share stories of Glenn Frey and Bob's relationship (much more than friends). Plus Bob talks about playing in a cave with Ted Nugent and takes questions from CSX listeners. 

Took a little road trip to Dallas to see the tour before it hits Detroit -- Bob talking about everything from "Like A Rock" to what he's planning on doing after the tour (he'll have something in common with Adam Sandler). Plus we asked Alice Cooper and Bret Michaels what Seger song they'd cover...interesting answers. 

We start off with a classic TV interview featuring Bob in 1976 (great insight into his musical influences), then it's Mickey Thomas of Starship picking a Seger song to cover - Michael Bolton and his connection to Bob, Steve Winwood and the Bob Seger song reference, then finally a great story from Bob about Glenn Frey's Mom not trusting him.

I have to admit that in 20 plus years of radio I've NEVER ran into an artist that doesn't love Bob Seger. So when we ask them what Seger song they'd love to cover, there's always a quick answer. This episode includes Steve Perry talking about what song he'd do, plus what Journey song Bob could cover. Joe Satriani talks Seger, Steve Lukather of Toto shares a Seger story, NHL announcer Doc Emmerick tells and early Seger story and current Silver Bullet member Jim "Moose" Brown (from our 2014 conversation) talks about getting the call from Bob Seger...and what guitar lessons Bob gave him. 

Thanks for joining us on Bob Seger Boulevard. In our first episode we talk with Bob about what music he listens to in the car, his early interview with Jeremy Clarkson (pre Top Gear I believe), Bob's dream of playing covers at a famous motorcycle rally and he explains the meaning behind "Fire Lake".
