Who is playing Lead guitar on

[Toddskins]

1975, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - "Live Bullet".

Is Bob Seger playing those awesome leads on Travelin' Man or is it Drew Abbott? I've been searching credits on the album, but no designation as to who actually assumed lead vs. rhythm.

Any ole' timers out there who would know for sure?

Here is an excerpt from an on-line story about Seger-from the looks of it it was probably Drew Abbott....

In 1968, "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" -- his first release on Capitol Records -- crept to No. 17, but that's the closest he would come to hit status for a decade.

Quite a bit happened in the intervening years; Seger gave up music at one point, opting for psychological counseling and college at ???. But along the way he felt the muse again, decided to quit playing lead guitar and concentrate instead on his songwriting and impressive singing. He also formed a regular touring outfit, the Silver Bullet Band.

By 1976, things were clicking. "Live Bullet," a live double album recorded at Cobo Hall, finally captured the strength of Seger's songs in strong, well-produced performances. A year later came "Night Moves," his breakthrough hit, and since then it's been sold-out concerts and multimillion-selling albums -- "Stranger in Town," "Against the Wind," "Nine Tonight," "The Distance" -- and a line of hit singles like "Rock and Roll Never Forgets," "Hollywood Nights," "We've Got Tonight," "Fire Lake," "Even Now" and "Shame on the Moon."

LOL....."live" bullet. that album's about at "live" as "Frampton Comes Alive" and "Kiss Alive" are. Try "rhythm section and crowd recorded live, everything else overdubbed and fixed bullet". Love how they allude to that with "well-produced performances".

Still, great songs, great album.......

Thanks, I think you are probably right from this. 'Appreciate the effort.
