Fix that title - first thought that came to mind was that Seger was dead. I was ready to read the worst and here it's just a tour thread.

Obligatory: Informative Title
August 11th, 2017 at 9:48 PM ^
Is there another Seger?
August 11th, 2017 at 9:51 PM ^
I was thinking Pete Seeger!
August 11th, 2017 at 9:46 PM ^
Saw him twice a few yrs ago when he started touring again and they still sounded great. He's playing DTE this yr on 9-9, the same day M plays Cincinnati at home at noon and my birthday. I'm gonna try to go to back to back events and have a 40th I'll never forget.

Saw him at the Palace. The place was on fire. They had the stage setup with two ramps that went up to a platform at the back.
They had just finished playing "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" and after hitting the last note, they killed all the lights. The crowd was JUST starting to quiet down when they snapped on all 6 spotlights onto that platform where the sax player started the riff for "Turn the Page"
The crowd roar blew the root off the dump. Single greatest moment ever, concert-wise.
Granted, that was 20 years ago, but if you have a chance to see him, I say, go for it. He's a legend, and we're losing too many musical icons lately.
August 11th, 2017 at 11:26 PM ^
Are sure it was 6? I was there too and could swear there were 3-9 spotlights.
August 11th, 2017 at 9:52 PM ^
I'm done with Bob. I saw him at the Palace about 10 years ago and was so bummed when he didn't sing Shakedown.
August 11th, 2017 at 9:56 PM ^
Have the two of you tried to work it out? Ten years is a long time to hold grudges. Maybe it was some sort of miscommunication?
August 11th, 2017 at 10:12 PM ^
You're right - ten years is a long time to hold a grudge and even though things are Still The Same, I need to Turn The Page. The problem is that Bob is stubborn Like a Rock, and I've got The Fire Inside that won't let me live down him not singing my favorite Bob Seger song. The ball is his court now - sing Shakedown Bobby. Sing it! It's hard Tryin' To Live My Life Without You Bob.

Fire Lake!
August 12th, 2017 at 3:28 PM ^
But I don't know, he kind of sounds like a Beautiful Loser to me.
August 11th, 2017 at 9:56 PM ^
Would love to go see Bruno Mars, but ticket prices are thru the roof!
August 12th, 2017 at 4:46 AM ^
Millenial.
August 11th, 2017 at 9:56 PM ^
Saw him in PHX last year for the first time, we really enjoyed his performance.
I hope I have that much energy when I am his age.
August 11th, 2017 at 10:21 PM ^
I thought he died. Thanks, OP.
August 11th, 2017 at 10:58 PM ^
Exactly my point above.
August 11th, 2017 at 10:49 PM ^
still intact?
Or is it some fake so called 'Silver Bullet Band' full of fake faking fakers who just play the same notes as the REAL dudes from back in the day?
August 12th, 2017 at 1:48 AM ^
I went to a Red Wings playoff game maybe 10 years ago & Alto Reed was skating around blasting The Star Spangled Banner. I asked my girl if she knew who that was... She guessed Stevie Wonder. It made some kind of alternate sense with the afro, the sunglasses, the sax, & the skates.
August 11th, 2017 at 10:59 PM ^
I saw him about 5-6 years ago and, while not sure if the full original Silver Bullet Band was with him he definitely still had Mr Alto Reed on sax.
He played a good 20 songs that night and had a TON of energy and stage presence. It was a great show and I am sad I couldnt snag a non resale ticket to this tour.
August 13th, 2017 at 1:22 PM ^
I might consider a football ticketd trade. I have 2 extra for Pine Knob.
August 12th, 2017 at 1:18 AM ^
I saw Him in a restaurant East of Omaha he looked strung out from the road ...
August 12th, 2017 at 4:48 AM ^
Bob is sort of like Michigan's Springsteen. I've never seen him live, so this was a good thread on people's experiences.
(Also, thread title: aaargh, grumble, scream!)
August 12th, 2017 at 7:49 AM ^
Summer of 76 free at the raft race Riverside park in G.R. New Year's Eve Wings Stadium Kazoo. Both times great if this helps you

1971-Grand Haven Roller Rink and Ballroom. Cost was $1.00
August 12th, 2017 at 8:38 AM ^
I always see him when he comes to Grand Rapids. I'll be there in September.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:49 AM ^
Used to be a rink at 54th and Division in G.R. All the rockers back in the day played. Bob, Ted, Grand Funk. We had some great Mich bar bands.
