About

Bob Seger in Concert

With one of the most recognizable voices in rock, Bob Seger has been laying down cool grooves and bluesy anthems since the 1960s. Born in Detroit in 1945 to a relatively absent musician father who worked for Ford, Seger grew up with the perfect cocktail for heartland rock: a mix of music, working-class values, and despair. Becoming entranced by the music of early crooners like Little Richard, Elvis Presley, and James Brown, Seger would start a Detroit-based rock band in ‘61 called The Decibels; after they broke up, he joined The Town Criers, who became popular for their covers of radio-friendly pop tunes. In ‘74, Seger formed The Silver Bullet Band, where he would find immense success. 1976's ‘"Live" Bullet' reached No. 34 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart, going Platinum the following year. Later in ‘76, Seger's LP ‘Night Moves' would send atomic waves across the country with charting singles like "Night Moves," "Mainstreet," and "Rock and Roll Never Forgets"; the album eventually went 6x Platinum. With his following album, the explosive and searing ‘Stranger in Town,' he had four charting singles and another 6x Platinum LP. 

Over the next 30 years, Seger would rack up the accolades he deserved while continuing to put out great rock albums. Though musicians came and went in his band lineup, Seger remained a stable anchor. 1986 saw a No. 2 charting track with "American Storm," and the following year he found his first No. 1 single in "Shakedown," which he wrote for ‘Beverly Hills Cop II.' In 1987, Seger and The Silver Bullet Band also got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. Recent years have proved that Seger's here to stay: 2014's ‘Ride Out' was full of twangy, wheeling-and-dealing heartland rock, while 2017's ‘I Knew You When' bore a healthy dose of classic Bob Seger sentimentality.

    Yes I am a 58 year old Seger Groupie

    by TERRITINA on 2/14/11Last tour at VanAndel and COBOL Hall - Grand rapids & Detroit

    I am not sure that even Bob Seger realizes the real impact that his music has had on so many of his fans. I can remember my brother getting a speeding ticket while pumping the gas pedal to Heavy Music. Yes he lost his license for a while. He just couldn't get through to the officer how this could happen. Little did I know that in the early 80's that my husband would walk out the door and leave me with a couple of kids for some sleaze bag. I would play Jody Girl over and over and over. Then all of a sudden I discovered that "Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight" would be my therapy song. I would have the stereo blasting at full tilt playing that song each and every Friday night when the ex would come to pick up the kids. He hated it. I would be doing my happy dance while he squealed out the drive. BOB SEGER always has pulled me up from any slump I was ever in. It is impossible to get down when you play his music. My children and grandchildren always have carried on the tradition. Our family tradition is to do the family dance in the living room to ROLL ME AWAY and they all know that when I die, even if I live to be 100 that it will be a wake with a SEGER jam and that last song played will be THE FAMOUS FINAL SCENE. Thank you Bob for at times saving my life through your wonderful music. I know that people say that they are you're biggest fan but that is not possible. It is me. Again, THANK YOU and SEE YOU IN TOLEDO.

    Best Concert By Far!!!!!!!

    by Banniebro on 2/8/11Garden and Greatwoods --those of you f/ Boston will know these. - Boston

    I have seen Bob Seger twice, once each of his last 2 tours, he is a DON'T MISS!! No fancy fireworks or lasers, not needed here, plain ol' great music, great band, awesome lead singer. I have been to many a concert, all types from Usher to Metallica, but none can compare to Seger. No other concert have I been to that each and every person in attendance, and some security too, sang each and every song word for word with full on enthusiasm the entire concert. It is in interactive experience as you make your way through the songs from childhood to adulthood he will bring you full swing. You will leave exhilarated, smiling from ear to ear ,satisfied yet wanting more.

    Seger Rox!

    by Tennessegerfan on 2/8/11Bridgestone - Nashville

    I have been to more concerts than I can remember. I have only seen Seger twice but, he was hands down the BEST artist I have ever seen. His voice is amazing! There is none other who could ever compare to Bob For me. Plan on seeing him at least 2 more times in the coming tour. If you have not seen him, you should go. You will NOT be disappointed.

    Seger's concerts are mesmerizing!

    by DreamWeaver1062 on 2/5/11Huntington Center - Toledo

    I am so glad that Bob & SBB has announced touring again! Another opportunity to see 'The Man' with my kids! I have been a fan for as long as I can remember and have raised my girls to appreciate GREAT music! His music has always touched me! The music has always been there. It's seen me through some rough times and made the good times even better. This time around, an older sister is coming along. She hasn't seen him in concert since 1972 when he played at local hotspot in Lima, OH. What a hoot! Keep rockin' and see ya in Toledo!!! (I could only dream of having front row seats!)

    Front Seats

    by Zegota on 1/28/11Grand Rapids four and a half years ago. - Grand Rapids

    What a show, what memories, and what music, Bob Seger is fantastic, I first saw him play in Tecumseh, Michigan at one of our High School dances and from that point on. His music was and is a part of my life and my children's, nothing like good old Rock and Roll for a family, I raised my children on R&R and today they also like good music, it is rewarding to watch a person that enjoys what he does, and treats his fans with respect. If you would like to not only see a great show, but to experience what it was like in the 60's and 70's then you must experience the Bob Seger Silver Bullet Spirit. I just cannot say enough good things about Bob and his music, he saw many of us through Vietnam and rough times, along with good times. Long live Rock and Roll, nothing like it, I hope to see you soon Bob, and millions of us are glad to hear that you will be playing once again, sure hope I can be one of the lucky ones and once again be in a front seat.
