CRAZY SAXOPHONE!! | Turn The Page - Bob Seger (Reaction) 

This was written in 1972 well before he was a big rock star. He had to tour constantly before he made it big, and his insights and emotion came from actual experience. Seger is one of the best rock singers ever and an amazing songwriter. Keep on the Seger train!

Bob used to have REALLY long hair, hence the "woman or man" comments. Thanks for reacting to this tune; I believe it is absolutely one of his best......

Bob Seger is one of my absolute favorite artists. My favorite song is "Roll Me Away." Everyone who knows me, knows to shush up when Roll Me Away cones on because I crank that song up.

It's like he's looking through a photo album of his life on the road, and he's pointing at different pictures. "Here I am on the road again", "There I am up on the stage", "There I go playing the star again", "There I go, turn the page".

Bob Seger is a great rock singer, songwriter & musician known for his raspy powerful voice. He wrote & recorded songs that dealt with love, women & blue-collar themes. "Turn The Page" is my favorite song by him. Love the sax solo. He has so many great songs especially in the 70's-80's such as "Old Time Rock & Roll", "Against The Wind", "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", "Mainstreet", "Still The Same", "Hollywood Nights", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", "Roll Me Away", "Shakedown", "We've Got Tonight" etc.

The late, great Alto Reed on sax. (Born Thomas Neal Cartmell). 1948-2020..

Bob Seeger is another great storyteller like Paul Simon and Billy Joel and Jackson Browne. Love to listen to him.

Great reaction, you nailed it. Like a lot of performers and groups back when he wrote this, spent weeks and months on the road in a bus going from town to town to play. All they saw was the bus, hotel rooms and the stage and ot all just becomes a blur after a while. I've read some interviews and musicians talk about the travel and at times the only way they knew what town they were in was to look at the cover of the phone book in the hotel. A lot of people take the line "strung out" as to coming down from drug usage when actually its just you are burned out from all the travel. Being a long haired person innthe early 70's automatically made people think hippie drug addict and without facial hair people would question whether your a man or a woman. The sax does help set the mood for the song and Bob does a great job of telling the story of grinding it out.

This is the live version. It is better than the studio version. Awesome song, vocals and sax.

I’ve met Mr Seger several times. I’m nobody to him. He wouldn’t remember. Just a bartender, years ago, in a huge club he played at. I just want to say, I’ve met a lot stars. Most, maybe, were aloof. Some few were obnoxious. Mr. Seger was kind, generous, kept up with his people, seen to their needs. Even his roadies. He never boarded his bus until the work was done. Soft spoken, easy going, a gentleman. A smile for his roadies riding the mechanical bull after closing.

You can really hear the loneliness of life of a rock star on the road. It used to be a very typical cliche to say “Is that a woman or man” every time an older “establishment” person saw a man with long hair.

Ahhh, Bob Seger, one of the sexiest voices ever!! I love his music!

You are a deep thinker.. You really get into the lyrics and give an intelligent and heartfelt reaction. Wish there were more like you on RU-vid.

Told ya, some things are worth waiting for. Glad you did this tune about touring, like Jackson Browne, Stories of the road are always great tunes. Thanks again.

This is a live cut, amazing!

Great reaction. Seger is the BEST!!! check out Roll Me Away. Sung with power & passion!

I've always said Bob Seger should be his own genre. Check out Roll Me Away next. You'll love it.

You need to check out more Bob Seger. He can really reach that high raspy sound. This was one of his most mellow songs.

I was blessed to have seen him n band Live Bullet in Lexington KY I was in grade school my mom n aunt took all us girls. Awesome Memories❤

I never get tired of hearing this and I really did like your commentary at the end. Glad you got to check this out.

a dark and indelible rock song. found on the album "live bullet" recorded at cobo hall in detroit

Bob is a story teller.

Great song! Next, check out “Feel Like A Number,” released in 78. ✌️

Isn’t it funny that back in the 70s if you had long hair and weren’t all crazy alpha the crazy alpha dudes called you a woman. Now you say “ok, maybe I AM a woman, actually” and the same dudes, older now, all shout “NO YOU’RE A MAN.” Lol

You'll be recommended to check out the Metallica version. Do so; you won't regret it.

Metallica did a great cover of this song

Alto Reed on sax, stage name, no relation to me.

The atonal sax notes towards the end are different, I'll give him that. Unfortunately it's not something I want to listen to. And the song overall is boooorrrriinng.
