Bob Seger retires from the road

Posted on 12/01/2018 4:14:22 PM PST by LongWayHome

Bob Seger just started his last North American concert tour. He's still in good form & if you have not seen him live, or would like to....this is your last chance.

I know several members of his band & to a person, they speak very highly of the man. He is criminally underrated in my opinion. In his prime 1976-1982, he was the biggest rock & roll act in the world selling out more concerts than the Rolling Stones & getting more radio airplay than anyone, including Bruce Springsteen.

Seger's three albums since his comeback in 2006, after years of retirement when he was raising his children, are better than anything his peers have put out. Hat's off the Seger...truly the end of an era.

Some of Bob’s early stuff from the late 60s early 70s is the best music he ever did.

My brother still has his ticket stub. Anytime I hear a Seger song play, I feel like a young man again.

Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band is part of the sound track of my life.

That happens often, but when this tour ends sometime in June of 2019 he will be 74 years old.

Age will most likely make any future concert dates a short run.

Thanks for the heads up. I have a few of his songs on my phone but that is it. Never saw him live and now I never will.

He’s actually playing “Still the Same” on this tour for the first time in over 25 years.

As I told everybody last night, I was reading in Rolling Stone where they said, "Detroit audiences are the greatest rock & roll audiences in the world." I thought to myself, "Shit! I've known that for ten years!" — Bob Seger, "Nutbush City Limits", 'Live' Bullet This quotation is from the album. Did you know that Tina Turner wrote Nutbush? Damn, I am just giddy. I think I'm going to Katmandu. ...

As a 19 y/o kid who just moved to Hollywood, the great song “Hollywood Nights” struck quite the chord in me...and hit a bit too close too home.....

Just a little Night Moves?
I truly believe that Bob Seger music touches many. Whether they admit it or not.

I saw him at the Birmingham (Mich) Palladium about 1965. Haven’t seen him since

Wow. My momma was still wiping my nose then. Would you please tell more?
