My late dad was a huge bob seger fan. He had a 1989 Chevy 1500 that I would ride in when I was a kid and I will never forget the last time me and my dad jammed out to this song. It was exactly on August 24th of 2006. I was 6 years old and me and him were going to our camper for the weekend (keep in mind he had lung cancer at the time) and he knew he didn’t have much longer to spend time with me so he got his Bob Seger Cassette tape out and put it in and put this song on. Me and him sang through the entire thing and when it ended he pulled over because he was so emotional. We hugged and he said “when I leave this earth, play this song whenever you’re sad about me and I’ll be there singing along with you.” It’s been 15 years since he passed and I still play this song and sing to it every once in a while. Miss you dad Update: thank you for the support. If you guys are wondering…. Yes I have the truck now that I take to shows. I working on getting it back on the road as it’s been sitting for a few years and I hope to drive it back to where me and him camped for the first time in over 15 years. And yes I still have the Bob Seger cassette tape but I’m going to switch out the radio so it has a CD player. Edit: thank you everyone for the support. For everyone asking why I’m putting in a cassette player is because the player broke a few years ago when I revived the truck. A cd player is a whole lot cheaper and more convenient for me. Don’t worry I’m still keeping the cassette tape in the truck where my dad left it 😉. Besides the truck is far from original so I’m not worried about changing things up on it. And another thing for those people wondering, yes the truck is officially back on the road where it belongs with plates for the first time since 2008. It really fought me hard because it has a supercharger and everything was chewed and everything else, it was one thing after another for about a year and a half. It still needs work but it’s now roadworthy and just took on its first long trip last month and it did amazing with no problems whatsoever. When it’s out of storage I’ll try and post a video on the truck next year.
I used to listen to the 500 best rock songs every 4th of July as voted by the radio station listeners back in the 80’s and early 90’s and every year the top two songs was Stairway to Heaven number 1 and this song Number 2. The original version by Seger not the remake.
Thank U so much to your Papas Great Service of 40 years to our Country! Thats an awesome badge of Honor he Earned ! And yes this is so fitting for us Truckers ! Ty for ur post .
I was 20 riding 1100 miles on motorcycle to VA Beach VA to report for duty(Navy). Pulled in to cafe sat down at my table tired and that song starts to play...I'm 64 now, I'll never forget that day.. that song etched in my memory.
61 and love those kind of humble, quiet memories that define big parts of our souls. In the eighties when Bob really started to get big I was not a fan but as time has gone by his songs mean a lot to me.
The year was '97, I was roll'n east bound on I-80, on a Sacramento to Rockford NY run. Roll'n through Omaha at 2am, I pushed in the cassette tape and turned up the volume. Thank you, truckers!
Sad to say,yesterday,Alto Reed died at age 72 of Cancer...R.I.P. Alto...a true Pioneer,was one of the 1st to fly above the crowd on a wire,while playing....play on Alto...Play On!

People: okay please stay this is your place❤ Demon: okay People: **leaves** Demon: **Goes with them anyway** Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah. Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤ Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤ Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤ Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤ God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤ To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

Be serious about this❤ God is holy and righteous God is love So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤ You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤ Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN! Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine!

My Beautiful Mom loved Bob Seger, she really enjoyed this song. When it came out, I recall, Mom saying she would want it played at her funeral. I can picture my Mom riding her Sporter, ( Harley) with Bob Seger blaring as she curses down the highway!. I LIVE YOU, MOM. I miss YOU SOOOO VERRRY MUCH.
Rian Haryu man this comment hits hard. 😢 reminds me of my parents when I was younger on a road trip to Alabama from Texas. Dad would play it so much and sing it. Good times.
ZebulunThe Impaler your mom had good taste :) - times are definitely tough. Thank you for your nice sentiment! BTW - I'm a female (my first name throws ppl off) ;)
I Absolutely agree.......and yes I lived thru this time........yep I'm old... Its was so devastating to see the men who came home after the war in Vietnam. 😪 lots of them missing legs''and arms and also with a DRUG PROBLEM...🙄🤤😢
This was my Dad's favorite song, I am a huge Metallica fan and we went back and forth with each other defending our favorite version. He passed in 2018 and it is still one of my favorite memories of him.
Am I the only one that tears up to this? This song isn’t just about a rockstar. It’s about all of us that go out there trying to be the best we can and playing an act. I know I put on a happy face with my family and at work (literally in an airplane all the time flying for business) and people expect 100 percent. I feel like a dog and pony show. But by myself in a cheap hotel room I am a mess and so insecure. Therapy has helped and I’m getting better. I use this song to help me understand my journey. This song is fucking brilliant.
I feel you, brother. I'm always ont he toad doing construction. We travel the US and sometimes outside of it. I haven't been home in 9 months. Hell. Heading to a site now, been driving 13 hours. It's hard man
@@thelnepoet1 Thank you! I actually found a position that got me off the road. I’ve been spending more time with my family. This song and the song cats in the cradle honestly made me break down about six months ago. I cried like a baby. I couldn’t take it anymore. Much happier.
@@fenriswolf5962 this was my father. 75 hours a week and probably 500 mile commute every week in hard-core construction laboring. He died at 57 and never really got to see the fruits of his labor. There’s a lot more to life than humping it. Good health and family. That’s what life is about. Having a little extra money on the side doesn’t hurt either.
These songs were reflective of Men, working and taking care of their family and country. Unlike today where everyone wants instance gratification and the lyrics are about male and female genitalia that makes no sense in lyrics. How pathetic are singers of today?
First song i ever hear of him and he already touch my soul 😮 i’m a traveling musician so it hit hard . Just when i thought i had heard just about everything.
50 years later from it's original studio recording, 47 from the 'Live' Bullett recordings at Cobo Hall, Detroit 1975, Bob Seger's "Turn The Page" still remains one of the most iconic, and most infamous songs of the '70s and of the Rock-n-Roll era. That opening, as well as the closing. with that alto sax from Alto Reed continues to move me every time I hear it. For you guys, this song grabs you by the balls; for you gals it's like being intimately touched you know where.
I have lived and worked in Ann Arbor most of my life and am so happy that the last concert I attended was Bob Seger in Las Vegas. Almost impossible to believe that he sang every song note-for-note and was so gracious to the audience. That's the way to end your concert life!
Never really known of Bob Seger Till I met my father-in-law in 2013 he was a huge fan of him, since then I've listened to this song thousands of times and learned the lyrics over the years lol. My father in law is now in heaven and i will continue to play this one forever in remembrance of him, my father in law took my fiance to bob segar's last tour in 2019 here in Albuquerque NM. Rest in peace Jerry the memories will forever be with us❤😭
Don't be surprised ok, it's true I don't usually do this. But the pandemic has really tore everything apart leaving lots of people depressed and sad. That's why am pasting my personal email address here via: bobseger00125@gmail.com to enable you share your opinions about my songs or send personal message you wish to share with me. I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my father in 2009 to Lou Gerhrigs and we always listened to Jimmy buffet together on the construction site. I still cry when I listen to it but sometimes it you need to feel. Music is therapy and a gift from God.
This one I first heard in an apartment in Frankfurt, Germany in 1978, I think it was. The stereo system was all Pioneer, and we were burning some tripping green hash. We heated it and flaked it into a meerschaum pipe and toked it up. The song sounds like a short story come alive in audio. There's a drama to it that is almost Shakespearean, what with its stage imagery. We were on the traveling stage of our own lives, and the wail of the saxophone sounded like homesickness. Some men are foreigners wherever they go.
Sorry for your loss, I played this at my mom's funeral 😢 along with free bird and wish you were here we have matching tattoos of fishes lol!! Rest in paradise to all the loved ones gone to early till we see them again let's keep rocking on
Born in 1965 my uncle was a cross country truck driver I used to ride in his truck with him when I was 12 years old and he would always play this song and we would be way out of California I'm always going to love this song until God comes takes me home this is truly one badass song so whoever doesn't like this you don't know what you're missing you don't know 💯💞💞💞☠️☠️ missin
I’m two years older than you and I believe we experienced the best music ever made in those years and I was listening to most of the different genre of music but I favor country music but this is the best rock music ever made
I'm here 10 years after my mother passed away.. she requested this song at her funeral hours before her passing. I miss her dearly and wish I could show her who I've become because of her.
Lol you mfs know that I got to bring up a very talented humble man from Detroit who has recorded many hit songs, a rapper named Eminem. Has anyone ever heard of him 😆😜😘✌️❤️
Seger has been a long-time fave. When my metal friends were knocking him I didn't care. He wrote songs that when he sang them you felt them to your soul. I love ROCK, I don't care what sub-genre you are looking at there are songs and bands in that genre I dig. But I used to dig at my metal-head friends that Metal was a collection of bad musicians trying hard to drown each other out to hide how bad they are. That's not true, or at least usually not true, but it was fun to get them riled up as much as they got me by kicking the music I preferred - the stuff where I could hear and understand and feel the lyrics and the instrumentals added to those emotions. During my 30s and 40s when my friends were retrograding back to the "classic rock" of our youth, I was still expanding my musical horizons and finding new bands that fed the emotions that were churning inside. There was a lot of great music back then, and there is a lot of great music coming out now if you give it a chance. Love this song so much though, I think Against the Wind is the only one of his I like more. But so many of his songs bring out the nostalgic memories of my youth when I used to hear them on the radio constantly.
As a black man growing up in the 70's in Vegas we only had one black radio station and it was on from 6am to 6pm and when that station went off air i had to listen to a station that played a mixture of R&B and Rock music so i learned to appreciate groups like America and other White groups. Thank goodness for growing up in that era of music!
70s and 80s color didnt matter ,was tons of great music being made as ,grew up listening to it all since have a basically adopted brother whos mixed ,and to this do we both postup old songs from every genre back then
My dad passed away back in December of 2022. He absolutely LOVED Bob segar. I remember getting him a Bob segar CD and he played it to death until 95% of the songs on the cd wouldn't play without skipping. My brother sang this song at a karaoke night he went to in honor of our dad and could hear our dad's voice in his head singing it. . I miss you daddy. RIP 🙏
@@jerryparks6123Gotta agree with ya. The last time I checked, I'm not perfect either. I guess we can be thankful that we were raised to show respect and kindness. The best of luck to ya Jerry!!
My little brother is an up and coming musician... Over the years, I thought it was a bit cliché (this song) and now I've watched my little brother LIVE it. I don't think the casual person like myself would ever understand it until it touches close to home. What a masterpiece 💚 I'd love to hear you play sometime!
The Sax was huge in the 80's when music and the players were soulful! I miss music from those older decades when lyrics told stories, and the music made you feel the lyrics. Music meant something then, like life! 😢
"Turn The Page" On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one-note song You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through Say, here I am, on a road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the page Well, you walk into a restaurant, strung-out from the road And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can All the same old clichés: "Is that a woman or a man?" And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand Here I am, on a road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the page Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away Every ounce of energy you try to give away As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said Ah Here I am, on a road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the page Ah, here I am, on a road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go, playing the star again There I go, there I go
@@elibainbridge5174 : I appreciate the lyrics, too, but you can copy and paste them from a google search, so it's not taking a lot of time to "type them all" by hand.
I listen to this to feel closer to the memory of my dad. One of his favs. One of mine. Unlike most of my favorites, I don’t listen to it often, because I don’t want it to become just another song in frequent rotation. It’s reserved for those days when I really need it. Truly timeless classic.
This is one of those songs which I listened to them my daughter did now her daughter does. Music that just passed down from one generation to another. My son plays drums and he does a great Bob Segars’ and kicking Phil Collins! Which is MY ALL TIME FAVORITE!!🙏🌷
Damn Straight!! I'm 61 years old (seen him live twice) when I hear "Turn the Page" I go right back to the age of 16/17 in my mind. I have a bumper sticker that says "I maybe old now but I got to see ALL the best bands"! Current day I'm a die hard Chris Stapleton fan. He was the only one left on my bucket list and I dropped $1,000 to see him in Charleston, SC 7/13/2023
There is only one man who could have stole my wife's heart and it is Bob Seger. She always listens to his songs. Makes her feel good about life in general. We both ask where the hell has the great music GONE. Today is a sorry excuse for what we are subject to. I listen to the 70's and some 60's. I cannot stand the music today. To many greats in the past to mention. So at night will working at home away from work I crank up the 60's and 70's and just go back in time to those wonderful years. I was blessed to have grown up in the 70's in High School. Damn what a rush in time.
ArrowJ Smith I played this song a few weeks ago in a school performance. Everyone gave me a look like what the hell is this music. They obviously don't know the legend himself Bob Seger.
how i really start to hate ppl who hate on todays music, dont get me wrng i love this song and 70s music in general, just try and listen to something good from today, not just radio and charts and youll find something as good as this...
ArrowJ Smith My sister's favorite band,I too grew up in the 70's ,and yes we were lucky,radio stations played 24/7 good stuff,sadly the "computer age as made anybody and everybody a "star"... this was our time,never to come again.
Love Bob Seger! This song was my ex husband’s favorite,, he was a truck driver, he past away in June,, when I hear this it tugs at my heart a little ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks for the endless love and support you have constantly showed me. I'm forever grateful. I really appreciate your unconditional love towards me, where are you watching from.
My mom is OBSESSED with him and always has been haha. This song was the first song I ever learned the words to at like age 5 haha. Thats how much she listened to him every time we were in the car. I'm so happy I grew up listening to AC/DC, Bob, Whitesnake, Journey, REO. It's just all so good!!!
I only could dream of seeing Bob Seger, and with Heart. Would have been amazing! Sadly, I was born 2 years later. Heard the shows in the 70s were legendary.
Beautiful, Musical Masterpiece, it really takes me back to my youth when I really turned some pages in my life. At that time I just wished that the trip was through. But,I still had more pages to turn. Finally I settled down and there are no more pages left to turn. I'm grateful that I got to write my story and turn some pages in a Book called Life.,made memories, and mistakes but in the end I learned from all the pages that were turned.
@@laneschultz6545 Thanks. Ended up finally getting free housing in portland oregon. Though Im sure my travelling isnt done yet, but im getting a long rest for now.
I am so sorry for you being homeless no one in God should ever be homeless ever to many people and house around the 🌎🌍🌎🌎🌎 are you still homeless today what state are you in brother
Being homeless myself i can say that if you have a wanderer's heart that is the one positive thing about being homeless. You can go anywhere you want for the most part. You have no ties, no obligations, no roots. If you want to cross the country you can, if you want to go out to the desert, you can, travel to the mountains, the ocean, anywhere. The rest of the experience sucks and it's hard to live but that sense of freedom is nice to have. At least until it grows old and you start wishing you could settle someplace and put down roots.
Best transformation song ever, for anyone going thru CHANGE, this is for us, we, at times all by yourself , hitting that highway trying to put that awful past behind you, trying to be on top again , being strong to get it back together, to recover from your hurt, your pains, your losses, trying to hold onto the reins, there you go you've got to " Turn the page", hard to let go.... The roads traveled are behind you, but yet you have to hold steady to look what's coming ahead & to you...can't be afraid if the next opportunity that might just come your way... Remain hopeful, keep the FAITH, always be true to yourself & to others, keeping it real... Thanks Bob for giving those of us going thru change to have the courage to "Turn the Page"
Today "holding on"..... Going thru a rough moment . Trying not to look back but not trying to trip forward.. navigating alot...more than I can get to & take care of myself .."Welcoming a visit from the Holy Spirit" .. I don't want to welcome any more crappy moments from really mean spirited people.."BP"...baby girl... Thankful for the " Love" ......
This song reminds me of my entire life. Been listening to it since I would ride around with my dad and now, I ride around with my own kids and play it. It just makes sense in so many ways.
This is one of those songs where you can actually feel what he’s describing in the lyrics. Because of the music and the lyrics. That haunting guitar playing maybe maybe most of all
This was my brother you passed on this was his last song we played for him. RIP brother!!! I listen to this song everyday in remembrance of you brother!!!
Never before or ever again will there be a more perfect harmony of saxophone and rock. Add to that the timeless grit of the song and what you are left with is one of the finest rock ballads that will ever exist.
Bob Seger, no one sings like this wonderful icon. I waited on this band in 1976 and I felt so privileged, they were all very respectful and courteous. I have loved them ever since!
I was a 15 year old runaway with 3 others from Detroit & these words "Is that a woman or a man?" was reality as we hitchhiked to California along highways & through small towns - the LOOKS we'd get sometimes...in 1970. It was quite the experience, you learned stuff they didn't bother with in school.
This song is tattooed on my heart with rest of his amazing songs! I listen to them every mile I drove my big truck going across the beautiful US of A back in the day’s!! I love you Bob Seager👊🏻
Wrote the whole song down on my geometry class desk in high school. In permanent marker. Never had a complaint. It stayed all year. I passed the class! 😮
Heard this song for the first time way back in the 80s, long after it came out. I lost my Dad to cancer, and "to be closer to him" became a bartender at his favorite bar. This song just stuck with me through the years... If the band we auditioed for live music Friday night couldn't play this song, they didn't get the job. Many bands on the Northside of Houston learned to play Turn the Page, just to play at the 525 club!
My dad passed in January. This song was played at his memorial by a gentleman that my dad knew for years. Who had a band back in the day. My Papa loved this song. When I miss him I listen to this song
