"Stop that train,I'm leavin,It won't be to long wheather right or wrong" :D
I don't really like his big hits,His early stuff everyone thinks is sh*t,is what i find great."Babylon by bus" is one of the greatest live albums ever in my opinion
I did download the steve earl one and Live bullet but i've not had a chance to listen to them but the song "against the wind" is amazing

He's regarded as a real sound bloke is Seger and was bery successful sprinter in college before taking up rock full time - when I saw him in London in 1980 he was jumping all over the place and never breathless - voice then (not now) like a foghorn.
No just the studio version i downloaded seperate and stuck on to my IpodQuote:

I was at a disco with him in the 80s and he was chatting up this smashing looking bird in front of me and the lads - he knew we were listening. She was all over him but do you know what he says to her - "Do you swallow on the first date?" She gave him an unmerciful slap across the face. How does he react? Burst out laughing as did we. Then to make matters worse he went over and shifted her sister. That is a true story - I was there and that was one of his quieter nights. I'm half dreading tonight in a way. :D
Check out the live version on "Nine Tonight" - it's absolutely awesome - he really belts it out in the Boston Winter Gardens.Quote:

Mighty de Town - about 200 at it - great band plus TWO drum kits - we had two drummers giving a solo at one stage - Whacky was one of them and he played a bit of guitar and sang some songs also. In bed by 2am and drank 4 pints of Smithwicks - first pints since Autumn 1999 :eek:Quote:

He gave an hilarious speech - king of like Tommy Tiernan with a Galway accent only ten times more depraved.
Example - near the start of speech - "........ I suppose I'm hitting old age now but will still give the wife a good seeing to later on.....she'll get at least 5 minutes which is three more than usual.......still glad I'm not as old as Hamish Gannon over there who's at least 70 and walks with his walking stuck up his hole so he won't fall over..........." His two kids were listening to all this. :D That's mild for Whacky.
He joined our table and then really took the p!ss out of me but he's so funny you just can't get cross with him.
When I arrived in the hotel, a number of girls attending a wedding there were coming into reception area - one bird had on a kind of orange micro mini skirt (it was SHORT), tanned body, fantastic legs and SHE JUST KNEW we were gawking at her - gas to see every bloke turning the heads back to look at her = some wives were not too happy. :D
Jesus I wish I was 21 again. :(
