Turn the Page by Bob Seger is considered by most to be the best song about being on the road ever written. The emotional and vivid picture that Seger paints for the listener places you in the middle of a lifestyle that few of us will ever have to contend with. The isolation from being on the road as a rock band, looking differently than most of the people you encounter on a day-to-day basis. Turn the Page was written over 50 years ago but still gets ample air play on rock radio stations to this day and is a feature for most rock cover bands. Turn the page has been covered by such famous artists as Metallica, Waylon Jennings and Jon English. Also a side note, Jon Bon Jovi said in an interview that Turn the Page was a big influence on him and Richie Sambora when they were writing Wanted Dead or Alive from the Slippery when wet album which became one of Bon Jovi's signature songs.

Hey man i got a request if you can react to Crazy Lixx "Anthem For America". They do play like the 80s and have many good songs to listen to.
Burch is right about Metallica doing a cover version of this song as well as a video. But the video is quite sexually explicit and the actress in the video is a real life former porn star called Ginger Lynn Allen.
Hannibal, Mo. You got that right.
If you grew up in the Midwest during the 70's and 80's. Bob Seger probably wrote the sound track to your life.
I first saw him in the 60'a; the 2X2, Heavy Music, and Ramblin Gamblin Man days
Yep... you nailed it. In my case, crisscrossing the South on a pan-shovel in the early 70s.
Bob and Molly , if you know you know eh ! Radar Love is another road trippin song .
Yup
SW Missouri, late '60s & early '70s... hair past my shoulders... before you went into a bar or tavern to get a beer w your boys, you needed to weigh your chances of having to fight your way out- lively times!!
If Alexis loves the saxophone, you have to introduce her to Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty - one of the best sax pieces ever.
Very true!
Don't forget ''Lily was here'' with Candy Dulfer
Absolutely!
Bob is one of the all time great Storywriter singers of all time. He is an amazing artist.
Who doesn’t love Bob Seger and his stories. He was at the top of his game for so many years. Master storyteller, vocalist, musician and performer. Bob Seger concerts were the best. Thank you for this and hope you can do more Seger. 👏👏
Bob is one of the greatest storytellers. You will never be disappointed. He has so many hits. Keep exploring.
This song is legendary! Against the Wind is another good one. Bob's songs are the story of many people's lives. He's incredible and I feel like he didn't get his due. He was so better than a lot of other singers yet I feel like people didn't even talk about him.
Probably one of my 10 songs of all time. The other one that comes to mind is The Load out by Jackson Browne
I got to this party late… posted the same thing without having checked the other posts.
There is no other artist like bob seger. .he's one of a kind.
I'm 53 and from Michigan where Bob Seger is from, so I can tell you that he's a rock god in this state. He's got so many amazing songs and is beloved in Michigan. I've seen him live and he sounds exactly like he does on his records. He is just an amazing singer, song writer and musician himself...he's one of a kind....love him and his music will live on forever.
From Detroit here. I totally agree 💯
I was in high school back in the late 70s when Bob was huge. And I lived about 60 miles north of Bob. I would like to say he was more than a God. He was - what ever the hell, that is.
I'm from just north of Detroit. Love Bob.
His name IS SEGER NOT SEGAR!
I'm from Michigan also and lived in the Ann Arbor area for many years,where he is from. Home town hero! 🤘😎
This is the gold medal winner for road songs hands down. Bob has been incredible since the early 70's. Another of my favorites is Jackson Browne's "The Load Out/ Stay", where he is thanking the roadies and the people for keeping him wanting to come out and play.
I'm glad someone else brought Jackson Brown into the conversation
Absolutely. You know it's real when he talks about warning them to make sure everything else is good to go before they come for the piano.
Thought the same thing, Jackson Brown has a few good on the road songs. The Load Out is a great one!
Take it Easy by Browns is good too.
Night Moves by Seger is what I consider my favorite song. Lyrically brilliant. Turn the Page is not far behind.
Bob's one of the greatest storytelling musicians ever
As soon as you hear that sax in the intro, you immediately turn it up to 11. One of the most haunting and smooth songs that can reach into your soul. One of my best friends, a guitarist, played and sang this in a band when on tour with the USO all over the world. Bob Seger is a GOAT that can never be replaced.
The sax sets the tone right from the get go!!🎷This song is a great one for sure!!!... Love the Metallica cover of this as well!!!
Like a rock will always be one of my favorite Seger songs.
i think a lot of people don't know of the song until they hear it and if they were decent age back 15-20 years ago it will dawn on them they have.
Alexis loves the sax. The great Alto Reed plays it all through this song. It was one Bob's first after disbanding the system. RIP ALTO WE LOVE AND MISS YOU.
Bob has one of the greatest catalogs of music ever. You would be extremely hard pressed to find something bad from Bob. Cherish every moment when I got to see him live.
Thanks for honoring my favorite artist of all time. I grew up in this era and even sat front row one time. Seger was ALWAYS true to his craft . . . a brilliant songwriter/singer.
Bob Segar is one of the all time best.....I don't think he get's the recognition he deserves anymore. Damn he rocks.
This song was so great and Bob Seeger is a story teller. This song "Turn the page" is AWW a sort of dialectical. On 1 side there is the "star" and on the other side just the "human being", who must "turn the page" or turn himself for performing, "playing the star again", over and over. Here I go........That is an amazing song and amazing lyrics.
Nothing better than actually listening to it on vinyl
The iconic sax beginning is like a call to fans. Love it
This is one of those iconic road songs, just like "Carry On Wayward Son *
Bob Seger is the bomb. That's all you heard down our dorm room halls in college. Him and Fleetwood Mac👍👍👍💖💖💖. All of a sudden everyone would come out of their rooms singing along with this song. Best years of my life.
Bob is a soulful singer. Why I love him.
The fact that Burch didn't even mouth the words is an amazing accomplishment!😂
It's reflexive my friend. don't even know I am doing it until I see the recording after. Alexis sings on some of her songs..just saying
Love what ur doing!! I love turning my "kids" onto great music. In return they have turned me on to quite a few jams that would've never been on my radar!
Any Bob Seger song is great. "Shame on the moon" may be my personal favorite.
A true classic rock legend. You should have seen him live on the 70's.
OH, MY GOD! I had no idea from the beginning intro just HOW funny Alexis's take on this song was going to be. But, "Here I go, changing a diaper again..." had me laughing harder than I have in months. Thanks for such a hilarious take!
Bob seger is a true story teller. He is a legend. He is one of my favorite musicians of all time.
I was on the road touring for 10 years straight through the 80's. Lots of the road songs mean quite a lot to me. Good memories.
Bob Seger "Travelin Man/Beautiful Loser" Off his album Live Bullet
Jackson Browne - "Stay/The Load Out" Off his album Running on Empty
Journey - "Faithfully"
Journey -" Wheel In The Sky"
Bon Jovi - "Wanted Dead Or Alive" which inspired Bob Seger "Turn The Page"
Kiss - "Beth"
This was a great pick! I love Bob Seger in my home town that was pretty much universal. The top two sticky songs that you have to play together or folks get pissed, Hit me when I was thundering across country in my Shakin' Freight, not a soul around, even channel 19 gone quiet, so you sing along to the AM Radio, hammer down, need 600 miles by daylight.
Dad was one of the sound engineers on this tour dad said it was grueling on the road. But he said it was worth it because Bob was one of the nicest guys you will ever met. I still got tons of pictures he took. When retired in 1988 he died a few months later. I hardly ever seen him growing up he was helping my band with our album. He was on the road with many bands from the mid 60s it just took him down. When he did come home he would take a bath go to bed and sleep for 3 days. What's crazy is dad and Bob doppelgangers. RIP dad.. my favorite songs is." Fill like a number" " Come to Poppa" "Her Strut" and his first big hit "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" the other big hit from that album was a psychedelic song called "Lucifer"😮
Jackson Browne- Running on empty. I feel is the ultimate story of being on the road. whole album written and recorded and performed on the road, about life on the road. Thank you. peace.
I'm 81, First time I heard Bob Seger it was in a bar & the song Old time rock and roll.
I was a sound man / roadie for a well traveled bar band in the late 60s early 70s. Of course we had the early rock band look and I can verify the honesty of this song. It tells exactly how it was back then.
Bobs greatest hits, cover to cover, best album. Appetite up there too
I'm 27 and when I was 20 I was working as a pipeline surveyor. This song grew a strong bond in my heart after packing up and moving from town to town month after month. Sadly I wasn't able to keep doing that line of work after an injury but I love the memories. Thanks for the great video!!
Bob ALWAYS paints a picture. Every single song!!
One of my favorite songs of all time
Seger Rocks!!!
Alexis! Welcome to the Turn the page family. Seger, Rock Icon. This song is the anthem of all who has ever toured the road. And yes, that sax is sexy!
Agreed, Saigon!!! Thanks for the open arms. -Alexis
This is such an incredible song. I've been in plenty of cover bands in the day, and this was always a staple. Bob has one of the best voices ever.
Iam 67 and Bob seemed to put my whole life to music. Bob is a poet, songwriter story teller one of the best ever. Never wrote a bad song well except maybe that one for the soundtrack of that movie Lol. Makeing you visualize the story he is telling is what Bob does so well.
Bob’s best song. I have never played it a band , but Bob singing this song brings tears to my eyes. Love ❤️ this song!
I’m from Michigan and Bob Seger is also from Michigan and he still lives here today. Live’ Bullet is a live album by American rock band Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, released in April 1976. It was recorded at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan, during the heyday of that arena's time as an important rock concert venue. This is we’re the song was played on the reaction you just heard. My younger brother went to that concert. I’m a metro Detroit native and still live here today Detroit has some great bands and singers including Kid Rock, Eminem who also still live in Michigan.
Bob Seger has always been great. I grew up a couple miles away from the restaurant. He is referring to in that song. I sing this song a lot when I perform call. It’s one of my all time favorites.
Favorite Seger tune. Anytime it comes on the radio, I have to turn it up.
Still one of my all time favorites. Great memories.
Alto Reed was the sax player. Saw the "Live Bullet" tour.. he played it from the rafters. Entire band from Detroit suburbs and was huge for years in Detroit before making it bit with "Live Bullet". Lives in Northern Michigan now near Petoskey, and plays impromptu locally at times. Great guy. Great band. Underrated guitar player. Iconic voice. Felt he didn't get enough national respect and wrote the song "Katmandu" about that fact. Well, the rest is History. Every time I listen to "Night Moves" - I feel like I'm 16 again.
Bob Seger is one of the best lyricists and storytellers in the history of Rock music. You should play Alexis, Hollywood Nights, Running Against the Wind and Night Moves, just to name a few Seger classics.
When I was a teen my dad showed me this song. Kinda like Alexis said I always took it asyour life (childhood, teens, young adult, adult, and elderly) is a chapter and every day is a new page for you to turn the page and continue to till the end of the book
The 2 best concerts I have ever gone to were both Bob Seger shows. He was a phenomenal performer. Each and every one of his songs was memorable. The last time I saw him was during his farewell tour and it was just as good as the concert I saw him at years before.
I would honestly say that Turn the page and Iron Maidens Wasted Years are the 2 greatest road songs ever written!!
I would add Highway Song by Blackfoot also but all great.
I love see the younger generation learn about this music
You are the first reactor I have heard, that gets the meaning of this song. In doing so, you have revealed your age. The first concert I ever went to was Thin Lizzy , then Bob Seger, followed by BTO. What a night. Now you know my age. I think it was 1974 at the St. Paul civic center.
My mom always told me I was beyond my years, never really understood that until the past couple of years of adulthood. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! -Alexis
Now that...now that is a well written song. So good so true.
I just turn 70 back in March. This song always made me think about my life growing up. Was with a rock band back in the 70's. Played every weekend. I understand every word with this song.
I love this song turn the page. Is sometimes I play it over and over.😊😊😊😊
The live/video of this song is definitely worth a watch. Seger is a Detroit legend, tons of great music. Had my first slow dance to this song about 45 years ago...
My favorite is his cover of Come to Poppa. FUNKY!!
I got to see Bob Seger live in 1979, I was 24
Bob Seger is one of the few artists who NEVER put out a bad song. IMHO.
I worked carnival back in the early ninety's, "Pappy" played the music for the carnival and this was the song. When he started this song we stopped, every ride finished the run it was on, but none of us started them back up until this song was over.
There are great bands and there are great singers. But there are very few great storytellers. And Bob Seger is one of the GREATEST to me. Almost every single song is like reading an amazing short story. His voice is like a narrator taking us through the very distinct beginning, middle and end. Like you said, no video is needed (although it is fantastic and you should watch it) because you can envision everything he is singing so clearly in your mind.
I have to say Like A Rock is my all time favorite Seger song. When it came out in 1986 I was 20. So very much identified with the first verse of the song. Now, 37 years later, the end of the song hits real differently now. Chokes me up every time.
Bob is one of my all time favorites!
Bob really does have so many great songs. Against the wind hits me the hardest.
Just ran across you guys. The dynamic between both of you is really great! Turn the Page is an awesome song..
Thanks for the kind comment Bill! We appreciate the view and the comment. We hope you stick around. -Alexis
Excellent reaction to a legendary performer.
Bob. Seegar. Is. The. Best. Story. Teller. There. Is. He. Is. My. All. Time. Favoeite
Alexis said it, this song is iconic. It should be a wake up call for all those "I wish I was in a band" grass is always greener types. Every job has ups and downs, you are blessed if the ups are better than the downs. Another great road song is "Stay" by Jackson Browne, how he longs to play 'one more song' before the travel sets in again.
Roll me away. Seger rocks.
Bob is a legend. Next up from him Mainstreet (live version from 9 Tonight) Against The Wind, You'll Accompany Me, Fire Lake, Her Strut & Roll Me Away
Bob Seger is a gold mine of great music like Main Street, Like a Rock, Shame on the Moon, Night Moves and so many more. Great reaction!!
This young lady has music class. I am quite impressed. Alexis has a very good ear for details. The both of you cover just fantastic music. Thank you for keeping this music alive.
I like hearing the young persons perspective of these songs 🎵
I did this my first night of Kareoke. Everytime I went back I was tossed on stage to do it. Bob has one of those insta-relatable. voices.
Doesn’t get any better than Bob Segers lyrics and Alto Reed on the sax. RIP Alto!!!
Met Bob Seagar at a Mall in Detroit in 1974. Down to earth dude.
Being from Detroit, he is second only to God here. I've seen him, too many times to count on my hands, 1979 until the last in 2019, he still puts on the best show and still sounds the same. Watch Kid Rock's speech inducting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame(which should have been built here in Detroit and NOT Cleveland) So many iconic bands have come from here and so many songs that mention Detroit in them and they weren't even from here.
Saw him on his “final “ tour second to last show .. just before pandemic.. still great .. he has so many great songs 😊
Good news is we have time! More to come James
First time seeing Bob was 1975 Cobo Hall in Detroit, I was 14 yrs old.
Please show this young lady more Bob Seger and his catalog of pure beautiful music, Like a Rock would be a great one to start with. Great reaction !!!
Alexis, you totally did not ruin this for anyone. This song helps all of us relate to the grind we have to go through at times. Thank you guys for your channel and videos. You are very refreshing and real. Do some more Rush if you can. 😊
I literally grew up on this, every vacation, trip to the deer lease, ride home from school, or whatever got us in the truck. Along with a bunch of other artist, but The Silver Bullet Band was a daily thing. It's actually kind of weird when someone hasn't heard a song like that. But that's just my history, and the older I get the more I appreciate it.
3 singers who can make you see their story in their songs incredible talent
Bob segar
Dan fogelberg
John Denver
It's SEGER NOT SEGAR!
Don't forget Billy Joel
and Jimmy Buffet!
My first time seeing KISS was in Knoxville Tennessee on July 1976 on the Destroyer Tour. Never heard of Bob Seger before that and he opened for KISS. Bob was promoting his Live Bullet album and I was blown away before KISS even came out. The very next morning first thing I went out and bought the Live Bullet vinyl. Huge fan ever since. Oh yeah ... KISS Destroyer was mind blowing! Went to Johnson City a few days later for a second dose. 😁❤️😎
Retired trucker here and this song was my favorite song driving down the Hyw at night! I would crank it up!
My favorite song of all time. First time I heard it I was with my friend after he broke up with his first love, so fitting.
I first heard this song in 1976 from the Live Bullet album. I have heard it thousand's of times since. And sing along every time! Whether people want to hear me sing or not!
He was great in concert. He sounded just as good live as he did in recordings. Yet another great Detroit native.
One of the greats that went under the radar my whole life... no big hair :-)
This is the song for the road. (played this album on repeat for months and months)
Love this song. I live a couple miles away from the restaurant that he stopped in to write this song. I’d like for this song in my band because to me it is Home almost literally.
When he blows up at the end, ahh here I ammm, On the roaaad again, epic.
When Bog Seger sings, there is so much clarity to the poem he is reading outloud to us.
Journey's Faithfully is a great on the road song. Bon Jovi's Wanted, Dead or Alive is too.
Was going to suggest Faithfully too! It’s time for Steve Perry!
@@stevecork7574 Yep. Stick w/ the Perry era!
That song is on the top of the playlist of a lot of Long Haul truckers as well we went through a lot of those same things back in the day
My brother was an over the road truck driver and could understand love you guys
Love her take. Exactly dead on!
