Bob Seger has never gotten the recognition (and promotion) he deserves. If it was not for Kid Rock, Bob Seger might not have even been in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame....the man has it all...I still sing this song....it is one of my favorites!
Bob Seger is a genius storyteller/songwriter/musician and a great guy! His music is legendary and his lyrics are profound and amazing. I know you appreciate piano music and I am certain you would love “Against the Wind”. Can’t say enough about this artist. I had the good fortune to see him live in the 1980’s. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Thanks for this awesome reaction 🌺✌️
I saw him in ‘75 when the Live Bullet craze was sweeping the midwest. Most of my friends and I had one copy on vinyl for home and one on cassette for the car. You could pretty much put any of its 4 album sides on the turntable, set the needle down wherever you like, and it was going to be a party. I like your choice (Against the Wind). For a real lower register piano-gasm, my favorite is Still The Same. From Live Bullet, Katmandu (mentioned in the post below) Get Out of Denver, and Nutbush City Limit (an Ike & Tina Turner song) really command one’s attention. But really, the best thing to do with Live Bullet is start on Track 1 and listen to them all in order. Love his youthfulness, confidence, and rapport with the audience. Thanks for choosing Turn the Page, Van. It’s a dandy and always will be. Such a clean recording for a live version almost 50 years ago. It was good to see you enjoying it as well.
"Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed, with the echoes from the amplifiers ringing in your head, you smoke the days last cigarette remembering what she said." I've been a musician for a long time now and I toured for about five years. I won't pretend it wasn't fun. It was one of the best times of my life. On the flip side, it can be the most lonely experience in the world. Everything on stage is what you live for. Everything in between can be torture. It's no wonder that substance abuse is so rampant. Boredom and creative people don't mix well.
Thank you for your reaction! You can never go wrong w/ Mr. Bob! He's such an ICON! I grew up listening to him. The 1st time I heard it, I was on the school bus, my bus driver was an old Harley Davidson rider, and the tattoo on his forearm was the 1st one I had ever seen. He made me sit on the first row because I was only like 6. I was ways a big talker so we had good conversations, I asked a lot of questions & he was so sweet & patient w/ me! Great memories! Love & peace! ❤✌🏼
Where was I? I was a sophomore sitting in the bleachers at a high school assembly and one of our teachers sat on a folding chair in the middle of the basketball court and sang the hell out of this song with his guitar into the pa system. That's where I was. And that's where I go each time I hear it again. Thank you.
Bob Seger, one of the best ever...he also had to deal with throat cancer during his career. Turn the page is the anthem song for all singers living on the road.
My husband was a professional musician, he did all of Seger's songs. Sounded just like him! I sure do miss hearing his voice. This is as close as I can get. He also did a lot of Kennt Roger's songs. He had thas low, gravely voice! So sexy! I miss you Danny Mabe! But you're picking with the greats in heaven!
Icon! He’s got something unique He doesn’t have to be “Showy” he is the show in a quiet way He pulls you in yes, Ok! Night Moves is wonderful But “Strut or Watch Her Strut” that’s super fun & written about a very young “Jane Fonda”
Out there in the spotlight your a million miles away and every ounce of energy .............this song blows me away how he sings it. The whole album was awesome. Most albums of others have two good songs on them. This one all songs are great hits. Pink Floyd the wall was another that every song was great. Thanks for doing these songs. Love your reactions
I first heard him as a kid, my dad played his music all the time. But I live 45 minutes from where he grew up in Michigan, so everyone around here are fans of his music. Also his saxophone player is named Alto Reed.
The best show I have ever seen in my 63 years of life was his farewell tour a few years back. When he came out on stage the entire amphitheater crowd stood up and never sat down as he played hit after hit after hit. An extraordinarily talented and humble musician who paid homage to the rock legends that night with pictures of them on the backdrop. His lyrics and music just had a way of transporting you right in the middle of the story, tugging at your heart strings for the entire journey. Who the hell is going to replace that?? I am so grateful for the music BS left us. TY Bob Seger. Great reaction, as usual.
Bob Seger is one of a kind. He shows that if you have the drive, heart and talent you can make it in the music world and even more capture the hearts of the fans.
I love to see people experience music from back in my younger years. Bob was great and so was his band. Great meaningful songs that hit home. Thank you for all your hard work! #LFRFAMILY
Bob Seger is a legend in my book. This song “Turn the Page” is my favorite Bob Seger song. In 2021, Bob is still out there singing. I grew up listening to Bob’s music. He’s the bomb!!!
Your favorite until the next one comes along. It is nice to be appreciated by you. I do enjoy your reaction ,because you do show how much you love music 🎶
Van, you are such a beautiful soul! I was 13 years old when I first heard this song. When I hear it, I feel it! I love to watch him perform but this song makes me close my eyes and vibe out! Just experiencing the music!! Great memories!
Bob Seger... Master Story teller, brilliant writer & Rock-n-Roll God ✌😎--- & don't forget the Silver Bullitt band 🙂 Saw him in concert in the early 80's ... Great !
I was a pro wrestler for 30 yrs. The words to this song reminds me of being on the road in the South. The part about being in the restaurant ALWAYS happened.
Where was I when I first heard this song? I was in an Alaskan strip joint and one of the girls danced to it. I could tell by her dancing that the song meant something to her. I tipped her and asked her over to my table. The resulting conversation took up the rest of the night, a taxi ride, and a few hours at . . . um . . . an undisclosed location. A couple weeks later, she returned to the lower 48. To this day, whenever I hear it, "Turn the Page" is always her song.
Bob Segar is absolutely one of my favorite singers! The band at mine & my husband's reception sang this song and did a phenomenal job! So this song definitely means something to us! Thanks for a Great reaction!
Where was I when I first heard this song? I was 16, cruising in my 1972 Firebird, I had just bought Bob Seger's 8-track, yes I said 8-track, Night Moves. Turn The Page was on that album. ANY song from Night Moves was great!
Love Bob Seger. Great in concert. Please react to Humble Pie's Black Coffee (live version), 30 Days in the Hole and I Don't Need No Doctor. You will love all three, I guarantee it!
One of the greatest songs about life on-the-road.. He covers as much he can in the time allowed for this track ❤ love Bob Seger.... I'm happy you chose this song... Great reaction 👊
If you like this one try Load Out / Stay by Jackson Browne. We had some great musical storytellers back in the day. And yes the artists created the lyrics, produced the music, played all the instruments and sang the songs. It would have been fun to go to a concert with you because you genuinely enjoy the music we were so blessed with! Thank you for sharing! ☮💕🎸🎶🎤
Traveling man/ Beautiful looser from Bob Seeger Live Bullet try that one next. Like many I've had tragedy thru out my life but early on I lost a good friend and band mate to a freak accident on the way into the cemetery to lay him to rest Turn the page came on, just like that we were playing to an audience again and I could see it so clearly. Keep up you musical journey you have a lot to cover .
Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I’ve had the pleasure to listen to them for nearly my entire life. I was fortunate enough to have older siblings to start introducing me to great music when I was very young including Bob Seger. I got to see them in concert several times and they NEVER disappointed. You’ve only started on your journey through the incredible catalog of music they have to offer. Enjoy it, I guarantee it’ll be a great trip.
Good morning, Van! You heard it - this song is pure rock 'n' roll roadshow SOUL! Metallica did a phenomenal cover of it, a little more heavy, that you might want to check out. A couple of Seger songs you may want to react to:. "Her Strut" - my personal fave - & "Kathmandu", in which Seger ROCKS the house down. Thank you for your reactions, & helping expose us all to great music. Be safe.
@@miconis123 James has a way of really internalizing & then erupting his vocals. Makes whatever he's singing more gritty & personal. Seger really moves the song into blues & soul. Interesting to see how differently the 2 artists approach the same song. Thanks for your comment.
