    In Dec 2006 Bob Segar performed in Atlanta. On the way to the concert, all lanes 85 south were stopped. We were frenzied thinking our night was ruined but there was a radio announcement that Bob Seger would start his show 1 and a half hrs later to allow for his fans to arrive.
    It was such a spontaneous gracious act of kindness.

    My friends and I are getting up in the years, I'm 57. When we go see shows now, we try to see groups that are older, and are coming to the end of their careers. We call them "bucket list shows". A few years ago we saw Bob and the SB band in Dayton, Ohio and the show was amazing. The startling thing wasn't how great they sounded, but all the material. Songs that you hadn't heard in a awhile, but knew every lyric. Such an amazing singer and song writer.

They made it to the top through pure grit, creating some of the most legendary music along the way. I know the loss of Alto Reed has been heartbreaking for Bob, and it wouldn’t be the same without him. I have endless respect for Bob-he and the Silver Bullet Band put everything into their music and their fans, leaving it all out there every single album and certainly every show. One of the hardest working bands ever!

      I saw that too. The guy said that as if wishing all those other singers and bands were like him. I've never ever come across anyone in an interview saying anything other than what a genuine nice, down to earth guy he is in real life. My all time favorite rock n roller. Happy 79th Bob!

    Brand new mornings, Smokin OPs, Seger Seven, Back in 72, Live Bullet, Against the wind, Beautiful Loser, Night moves, Stranger in town......the list is long, and every one has a different flavor, but still the same Chef. Amazing talent. I'm from mid Michigan and have seen more live concerts than I can count. Always proud of Bob Seger. Makin Thunderbirds!! Who wants to go to Fire Lake. The answers in the question.

    He played what I still regard as the single greatest concert I have ever attended. It would have been about 1979, in Detroit. They played for almost three hours, absolutely refusing to get off the stage, encore after encore. And it was, as the song says, old time rock and roll-no special effects, basic lighting, great sound and very high calibre showmanship.

    I saw the Silver Bullet Band with the Fabulous Thunderbirds opening in 1986. Saw them at the old Aud in Buffalo. The T-Birds did a solid rockin' 45 minutes that blew the roof off the Aud. they put the roof back on and Bob and the band did a blistering 2 and a half hour show that blew the roof right back off. After leaving the show, my three friends and I listed off about 24 other songs he could have done and still be a great show.

    Absolutely DETROIT, Thank you Bob for your musical talents and how you affected my life. You are ROCK N ROLL, and again, I just wanted to thank you Sir!!
    It is impossible to drive the speed limit in some Detroit Muscle while listening and singing along to your music, it truly is euphoric!

      He didn’t write that that was brought to him by the muscle shores, rhythm section (the swampers )who produced and played on the first five years of his recordings and 50% of the recordings after that

  • @kshepard52
    @kshepard52 11 месяцев назад

    Always a pleasure to listen to people like Bob who followed their dream persistently and successfully in a tough business, and I don 't mean just the business. The challenges of the recording and business end, all those who depend on you and those who take a cut of your success, plus the personal challenges of being away from your family while having to tour, the many shows and constant traveling with monotony, boredom, and temptations. Talent, work, sacrifice (high divorce rates), and luck. Not an easy business at all.

    I stumbled onto Bob Seger by accident
    My brother wanted to know if I wanted to go to the show and I said hey I got nothing else to do I wasn't a big fan
    But when I went to the concert he sounded just as good live as he did on the radio or on the album
    He started growing on me and I started checking out all his albums and his music and I've been in love with his lyrics and the music ever since
    I love the song night moves because like that he was saying back in 62 and 62 was the year I was born
    I can't even count how many of his songs are absolute gems in my opinion Turn the Page
