The War On Drugs Covers Bob Seger In St. Paul

The War On Drugs covered Bob Seger’s classic “Against The Wind” during their show on Tuesday in St. Paul, Minnesota. The band’s first of two concerts at the Palace Theatre coincided with frontman/guitarist Adam Granduciel’s birthday.

“It’s my birthday and I’m going to play a fucking Bob Seger song!,” Granduciel told the audience.

He and his bandmates then ran through a mid-set rendition of “Against The Wind,” which served as the title track to Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band’s 1980 album. The cover was preceded by a tease of Seger’s “Night Moves.”

Touring in support of the 2021 LP, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, The War On Drugs’ setlist Tuesday night contained nine of the record’s 10 tracks. The show also included the tour debut of “Disappearing” from 2014’s Lost In The Dream. During the evening’s encore, “Night Moves” was again teased before the “Occasional Rain” finale.

The War On Drugs returns to the Palace Theatre for another show tonight. Watch video footage of last night’s “Against The Wind” and “Night Moves” fake-out via Kyle Matteson below:
