Classic Bob Seger live albums get remastered

I played my vinyl copy of Nine Tonight to death when I was in junior high. Can't wait to hear these... 

In advance of Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band’s return to the road this fall for a second leg to their 2011 North American Tour, Capitol/EMI will release Seger’s multi-platinum Live Bullet and Nine Tonight concert albums digitally remastered with exclusive bonus tracks on Sept. 13.   
 
Seger’s new tour dates will extend from coast to coast, with stops expected in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Orlando, Dallas, Denver, Columbus, Las Vegas, Vancouver and more. The first leg of Seger’s 2011 Tour drew rave reviews from critics and played to more than 350,000 fans. 
 
Originally released in 1976, Live Bullet was recorded at Cobo Hall in Bob Seger’s hometown of Detroit. The album has sold over five million copies and features “Turn The Page,” “Travelin’ Man/Beautiful Loser,” “Katmandu,” plus a live bonus track exclusive to this newly remastered edition: a rare recording of “I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home,” from Seger’s sold out first stadium show at the Pontiac Silverdome.
 
Originally released in 1981, Nine Tonight was also recorded, in part, at Cobo Hall, as well as at the Boston Garden. The five-times platinum album features 16 live hits, including “Old Time Rock 'n' Roll,” “Night Moves,” and “Hollywood Nights,” plus a live bonus track exclusive to this newly remastered edition, “Brave Strangers.”
 
Both titles will be released with restored original artwork and updated packaging and offered in a special CD/T-Shirt Box combination at select retailers.
 
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band’s legendary live performances have led to record sales in excess of 51 million which includes 11 platinum and seven multi-platinum RIAA-certified album sales awards. Seger holds the distinction for the #1 Catalog Album of the Decade (2000-2010) for his Greatest Hits, which has sold more than nine million copies in the U.S. to date, posting an unbroken 16-year streak on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums and Catalog Albums charts.
