THANK YOU for making this available for our comments. I am 67 years old, and the Bob Seger songs have made a very big impression on my life.
I saw him play in Detroit Battle of the Bands years ago (I was there showing my Arabian horse)...and little did I know then what I was hearing.
But now live in Tulsa and regretfully did not see it listed on the tour schedule.
Did see him when he was here before and would make an old girls day if he could come again.

Hi Kevin,
Just wanted to drop you a short note saying thanks for everything you do with the segerbob website.
I found it maybe 2 years ago and have been a semi-regular visitor since then (and close to daily visitor since Face
the Promise was released and the tour started looking like a reality).
Just wanted to say that your site is a great source
of information and I really appreciate both the personal touches and the overall sense of responsibility demonstrated.
Your work and the quality of it is much appreciated. Thanks for everything you do and please keep up the good work.
All the best,

THANK YOU!!! Kevin, for providing this site.
THANK YOU, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, for bringing to your fans, a long over due AWESOME addition to our music collections.
I have to say, I picked up the "Face the Promise" CD the day it was released, and LOVED IT INSTANTLY!!!!! Worth the wait!! Encouraging many friends to go and buy it!
When I learned that Bob was going to appear on Letterman, I was sure to stay up to catch the show. Bob & the band were so ROCK SOLID!!!!
The gals singing back up vocals on this CD really bring it!
I can't wait for the tour to come near my area, I'll be first in line to get tickets!
ROCK ON Segar fans!
See you all at the show!

Hi,
I'm a music teacher from NJ. I teach a styles of music course in the public schools and also
in a local community college. Besides everything else, I show DVD's concert videos.
These videos are probably the MOST IMPORTANT part of the course where I can over-narrate
and where TODAY'S students really get connected. I cover 14 major styles of music.
I have vidoes of everyone BUT Bob Seger and The Little River Band.
I would REALLY love to have such a video from BOB......................Bob, if you're
listening (watching)........PLEASE release a concert video - old or new.
Kids really love your sound.......and this would surely help 'completing' my course!!!

Hey Kevin, thank god like minded people. Good site keep it up.
As for Mr Seger he should take a look at this site himself,
get off the old behind and put a tour together! If it happens at all
i will assume he wont come to England, so i guess i'm gonna have pay a bit extra for my ticket!!
Dammit Bob if you aint gonna play no more at least put a DVD out!!!!!!!!!!!!

in concert...we take the occasional mid-west trip and points beyond so
travelling wherever isn't a big deal....please post as soon as anything
ever becomes available-even if it's local and not a tour...anytime/anyplace-we dig his sound

Kevin,
Thanks for keeping this site going! The first time I'd ever heard Bob was "Live Bullet"
in 9th grade typing class way back when it was first released and I've been hooked ever since.
The first time that I saw Bob in concert was at the Checker Dome in St. Louis in 1976 (I think).
My dad drove my friends and I through a pretty good snow storm some 40 miles just to get the the Dome!
It was awesome. My 2 best friends and my 1st 'boyfriend' (who passed away shortly after)
together at my 1st concert and it was BOB!!! I remember joking that I'd pay as much as $20
a ticket just to see Bob again! I paid $8.25 then and that included the handling fee.
Now I'd pay what ever I had to to see him sing live again. I'd love for my kids to see him.
They grew up listening to Bob and love his music almost as much as me. It's funny how someone
that you'll probably never meet can influence your life so much. The first time I heard
'Roll Me Away' I melted! My 2 favorite things, Bob and mountains. Because of that song,
I eventually came around to the motorcycle thing. Now Harleys are a huge part of my life.
My husband has Bob to thank for that!
If Bob won't tour again, maybe he could satisfy his fans by putting together a collection
of his music videos and concert film onto a DVD. Also a big ol huge coffee table bio book! How about both?
I will send my DVD/book idea to Bob via Punch.

At a young age, my Dad enstilled in me a love for Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band.
As a matter of fact, everytime I hear "Against the Wind" it takes me back ten years to
a summer when all I did was get milkshakes with my Dad and play that Single on a jukebox.
I was about nine or so and that song the Silver Bullet Band plays brings so much happiness
and nostalgia that I sing out loud at the top of my lungs whenever I hear it.
Rock on Silver Bullet Band!

I AM 36 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO BOB AS LONG AS I CAN REMEBER.
I HAVE 5 CHILDREN AGES 14 - 3 AND THEY ALL LOVE HIM TOO. MY 10 YEAR OLD LINDSAY
SAYS SHES GOING TO MARRY HIM WHEN SHE GROWS UP. I DON'T HAVE THE HEART TO TELL
HER THAT WON'T HAPPEN. I WAS MARRIED FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS PAST JUNE IN CHICAGO.
ALL I WANTED WAS TO HAVE CHANCES AER BY BOB AND MARTINA FOR MY FIRST DANCE AND THE
DJ MESSED UP AND DIDN'T BRING THE CD BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP ME.
I STILL HAD A BOB SEGER SONG SHES LIVING INSIDE MY HEART NOW.

Hey, Where in the world is Bob these days?
I really miss him and would really like to see him in concert again .
I saw him twice in The Palace in "96", and again that same year twice In Indy.
I am probably one of his biggest fans ever. When I called to get tickets
for the Detroit show they said the only seats available were behind the stage ,
and I said I didn't care if they were under the stage I wanted tickets.
Thank you for deciding to have a circle stage because we ended up with seats
four rows from the stage. I could hardly contain myself.
I Miss You

I remember sitting on the concrete floor at the Palladium in Birmingham,
Michigan wathing the Bob Seger System. I think it was $2 to get in.
What a time to live! The place vibrated.
If it was on DVD today it would sell a million copies.
Any Seger concert on DVD would be in every true rockers collection.
I probably attended 20 of his concerts and I would do another 20 in a heartbeat.

Hello,
Been a big fan since the early 1970's. I saw him in concert in 1986. WOW!!!!!!!!! I would love see another concert.
I especially love Bob"s version of "Fortunate Son".
I also listen to Bob singing "The Little Drummer Boy" all year round. I have never heard a Christmas Carol sung so Beautifully.
Thanks for so much wonderful music.

Hey Kevin,
Thanks for the site! I was born and raised in Michigan and have been living in Texas for the last five years. I grew up listening to Bob Seger and hearing his music makes me homesick! He's one of a kind, and I appreciate him now as much as I did when I was a teenager ( I'm forty-two!) Thank God there are some things you just can't duplicate.

Is this EVER going to be a possibility?

Hi, I have been a fan since the mid to late 70's. I taught myself to play the guitar
and one of the songs I play is TURN THE PAGE, I love all his songs lyrics. I saw Bob
in concert one time in Portland Oregon in 1986. It was one of the best times of my life,
besides marrying my husband, who I think looks like Bob. If I could sit and chat with Bob,
I'd tell him that some of his lyrics changed my life, Tell him to have a good day.
I'd love to see him come to Idanha Oregon and play in the park, I'd play along with him, Wow that would be a dream come true.
I am so glad I found this page, thanks for posting it. Geri

Excellent website for the greatest artist, performer, and vocalist of all time.
I'm a 33 year old female who has been a die hard fan since... well, I could sing.
Even after all the times I have listened to his music it still gives me goose bumps.
I have all the albums and an autographed photo of Bob, but unfortunately it wasn't in person.
I've always said if he goes on tour I will sell something I own to be whereever it is.
Thanks again from one fan to another. If you ever need support in tying to get him to tour again sign me up.

hi, i sure would like Bob Seger to read this as i'm shure he would get a kick out of it,
it's the story of "my little girls first words". i like to tell this story to the michigan
boys as they are the ones who truely apreciat e the significance of the story, this happened
about 25 years ago when my little girl was just a toddler,we lived in the remote central wildernes
of british columbia canada about a 4hour horse back ride of the single rut dirt road,we were there
fore 5years without radio,tv sterio or any comunication whith the outside word,one day a nabour had
a moveing out sale and i bought a small casset player and one tape, this is the first time we had
music in the old homestead and we played the tape night and day, it was exciting, one morning while
the tape was playing we saw Emily was dancing around the kitchen,now you must remember that Emily
had never been out and heard music or seen anybody dancing befor but what realy surprized us is she
was singing happley " BOB SEGER, BOB SEGER, BOB SEGER ", and that is the story of " my little girls first words "

Hi
Just wanted you to know I love your site - pictures are fantastic!
And of course your tat is gorgeous!!!
I just keep hoping he'll tour - I'll have to write him The Perfect Letter!!!
I've always been good with writing papers, etc, but I don't think I can find the words to
describe what his music has meant to me over the years!
Take care.

It seems to me that our guys Afghanistan and Iraq deserve a song of their own. With compliments to Bob Seger: In the World Again
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Kandahar,
You can listen to the engine moaning out its one lone song;
As you think about your woman and the son you hugged the night before.
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When your riding sixteen hours and there?s nothing much to do
And you don?t feel much like riding you just wished the trip was through.
Say, here I am, in the World again, here I am, up on the stage;
Here I go, playing star again, here I go, turn the page.
When you walk into a restless land, strung out, scared and cold,
You can feel their eyes upon you, waiting to implode,
You pretend it doesn?t bother you but you just want to explode
Most times you can?t hear em come, other times you can,
It?s the same old screech and scream, and then there?s one less man,
You just hope it?s not your number. You wonder, can you still stand?
Here I am, in the World again, there I am, up on the stage;
Here I go, playing 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 echo from the afterburners ringing in your head,
You smoke the day?s last cigarette, remembering what she said.
Now here I am, in the World again, there I am up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page.
Here I am, in the World again,
There I am, up on the stage,
Here I go, playing star again,
There I go, there I go!

You can't even imagine how much I LOVE YOUR MUSIC!
I will totally knock someone out of the way to turn it
up when you are playing on ANY RADIO where I may be.
And when I am personally playing your music (which is OFTEN)
you hear me coming for miles when I am in my car.
I have my boss promising me a FRONT ROW ticket if you ever come back to Charlotte, NC.
The closest I have ever been has been 8th row.
Don't stop now - please tour again and make one of your stops here in Charlotte,
North Carolina. Thanks for all you do for us fans!

I'm 66 years old.I first heard "Night Moves" in 1979.
No way to see ahead to the days of computers when I would have the opportunity to say to you that
I loved "Ship of Fools" ever since I first heard it.I still think it's one of the most outstanding
recordings ever made.It seems as fresh and new right now as it did then.
Best regards.I wish you good health and prosperity.

I’m 56 and have been a Seger fan for most of my life.
I’m from Utica, Michigan and remember seeing Bob in small
clubs in the Detroit area during the 60’s.I have always been
blown away by his sound and have been lucky enough to see him
with Silver Bullet outdoors in his native state of Michigan a
couple of times. He is awesome playing outside and believe he would
pack them in again if he would just give it another go. His fan base
has to be huge not just in the mid west but all over the country
and many like me would make it a priority to see him if he’d just get out there.
Any new material now would be welcomed also. We’ve all been teased by the rumors of a new
yet to be released album of all new stuff. I’ve been hearing about the new album now for
several years and sure hope Bob will finally finish it and release it. I also wondered
if any of his live concerts were ever filmed and made into a DVD.
I for one would sure like to have one or several of his live performances
on a DVD so I could watch him do his thing. No one does a live show like Bob no one.
Always watching for some news,
Regards,
Roy Clason

I just have to say that Bob has the most amazing voice .
He has been a part of my life for ever. Iam 40 years old
and the last time I saw Bob was in 1996 in New York. I was pregnant
with my younger daughter who is now 9 and I have to tell you
she knows every word to Turn the Page.
I think both my daughters love his music as much as me.
I would love for them to see Bob in concert .I know I would.
All these other groups that are making a come back have nothing compared to Bob .
I have a six cd player in my truck and eveyone of them has a Bob Seger cd in them.
Come on Bob do us all a favor and get back to what you do best .sing !!!!!!!!
With much anticipation of a tour

Hi , my name is Laura hinkle and I love Bob seger and
believe he is the most talented singer and song writer
of all time. I am 34 yrs. old and my fondest memory when
I was young is listening to the radio blaring out of my house where
my parents were jamming to old time rocking roll, when my dad got
hooked on a song he got hooked. I use to stand up on a stool in our
front room and put on a show for people when they come over and sing
bob seger music and now when i clean my house I have to be jammin to bob
seger, by the way I grew up in Detroit on 5 mile and lahser, and also my
dad always copied bob segers hair and beard do.
LOVE YOU BOB..............KEEP ROCKIN..........GOD BLESS YOU

I've been a fan since, possibly, before the other posters were born.
now that MI weather is FINALLYH getting warmer, theres nothing than
opening the car's windows all the way and leting Greates Hits II BLAST.
I would love, if it was possible, to wish Mr. Seger a happy birthday
though i doubt a mailed card could, in any way, make it in time. His
birthday is shared with my Papa, an 84 year old retired (needless to
say) Detroit Fire Fighter of 40 years who also srver as a marine in
WWII. Guess May 6 is a great day for GREAT PEOPLE to be born.

I remember listening to Bob on 8 track before I was even in school and my parents and my whole family
still love his music today. I was listening to my favorite female singer from the same era the other day,
Stevie Nicks, and I thought her and Bob should have did a duet together somewhere along the years because
I think thier voices are a better match than Stevie and Tom Petty. It would be great to have
atleast one song done by them together before I die.

Hey whats up? My name is Dave and i play drums in a band. My band is really
starting to get good and i think it is thanks to you. You are what
influenced us to start a band and now we play the same kind of music as you.
Before every show all of the members of our band listen to your music (its
kind of a good luck thing). Any way i just wanted to let you know that i
love your music and thanks from me and my band!

I'm a Seger fan from the end of eighties and try to follow his music since then but the last years it's very quiet around him.
Now that I saw this mail service on the site, that's my opertunity to post some sentence to him.
I started going to concert in 1986 and older friends of me who saw him in 1980 in Brussels still
tell that, that concert is till now one of the best the saw. And they went to many concert even now.
So give me also the change to see him on stage somewhere in central Europe. There still an audience for him here,
otherwise on a festival in the summer. For example Arrow Classic Rock festival in Holland.
In the hope my dream come true I leave you now and keep puting the good music in the spotlight !
Greetings from Flanders !

I just want to say thank you for giving us all hope that someday Bob might tour,
I have listened to his music for a very long time i am a 26 year old from ohio and his music
is i think the best of all time he is still rocken and i hope that he keeps on going..
""Turn the Page"" is the song closest to my heart it has alot of meaning behind it and
i would just love to hear him live and in person singing all his greatest hits..
As a young woman i would just like to say that Bob Seger is hot and always will be no mater what..

I lived my teens and twentys with Bob Seger in the 60's and 70's and would also kill to
see him in concert ONE more time, and he's the ONLY one I'd pay alot of $ to see.
Everyone else is making (trying) a come back but Bob would be totaly different.
People love him for being him, and if I have to see him just one time I'll go to
Michigan and watch him sail in the races. Hope he sees all his fans have not given
up on seeing him play again, remember your never too old to Rock and Roll,

Hey Kevin:
Greetings from the beautiful shores of northwestern Ontario,
Canada.....Just cruising the net and looking for tour dates and ironically
"Katmandu" plays on the radio. I have been a long time fan of Bobby since
the 70's. My favorite album is still "Night Moves".. brings me back to the
day. I sincerely hope that Bob considers touring this year. I have seen
alot of my favorites, but have yet to see Bob "live".
If Bob or anyone in his band reads this posting,, tell Bob we have even
more beautiful lakes and even more beautiful people who love to rock and
roll more than those east of TBAY. Hope to see BS&SBB rockin this
summer...
Keep rockin this site Kev....
Cheers

Kevin,
thank a lot for you answer.
I haven`t been a Bob`s fan up to now but after being really lucky and
hearing BS&SBB, I can not leave the chance for telling that Bob might
consider touring again.
I would like to be able to push Bob for performing music live, also I
suppose it is asking too much it would be great if he visit Madrid, at least
some place in Spain and have the chance in my live for enjoying a really
good music.
Nowadays it is difficult to be able to hear good lyrics and superb sounds at
the same time, even separately.
Thank you very much (from heart) for your work and giving us the possibility
for running away from reality and feeling well.
The very best

I just found your sight here and wanted to thank you ..
Bob Segar is such a talented Writer/ Singer that i wish i could only have a fraction of his talent.
I also write lyrics (amatuer of course) but i know how much dedication i put into each song,
and then you have a man that Writes such amazing songs, it just awe's me.
Anyway, the reason for this letter is to mention that the Album that started me out being a
huge Segar fan is, "Stranger In Town". That Album is loaded with the best of the best if you ask me.
I think that the "Famous Final Scene" is the best song that Segar ever did, let alone one of the best
song's ever written.
I was just wondering if anybody else out the shares this with me, or do i just take this song to much to heart?
Possibly too much meaning to me?
Thanks for everything Kevin and what a great job you're doing here.
Take Care

Hey Kevin,
Great site! I still remember when I was a young man looking for some more musical
energy when I heard "Ramblin Gamblin Man". I was hooked then and there, and it
just kept getting better and better with "Fire Down Below", "Her Strut", ect.
Nice tattoo, and I hear ya with the '50s & 60s cars. Raw Cool!
Thanks for the Little Feat nod also.
You have superb taste!!!

You have a great site here Kevin. What can I say about Bob Seger...I have
been listening to his music for the last few years. I have collected most of
his records, and have all of his CD's (after Live Bullet). Every single time
I put in a Bob Seger album it brings back so many memories. I still get the
chills when I listen to songs like Roll Me Away, Night Moves, and Against
the Wind even after hearing them a thousand times. The lyrics are so
powerful and moving, I just can't get enough. If I had the opportunity to
see him in concert that would be the most amazing experience. His music has
made me laugh, cry, and has basically been the soundtrack to a lot of
moments in my life. Thanks Bob for making such memorable, inspirational, and
moving music. Thanks to you also Kevin for giving me the opportunity write
this, your website is great...keep up the good work!
Thanks!

Hey Kevin,
It's getting late at nite, going down memory lane, some of the best memories spent listening to Bob Seger ...
Everyone who REALLY knows me, knows this .... I have had the same reaccuring dream since I was around 12 yrs old,
me and my youngest brother travelling down to Minneapolis (500 miles) to see a Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
concert. I cut my teeth listening to Bob & the Boys, older brothers, the turntable in the recroom, ah, the memories.
Back to the dream ... I inadvertantly lose my brother at the arena. Doesn't matter, BIG band, big city,
I'm hear to see Bob Seger, get out of my way. Well it's been twenty-eight plus years and I'm more than ready to
travel to see the boys. It's one of those MUST due situations .....
OK, we live up here in the north, cold most of the time, mosquitos drive us crazy, I'd be willing to sell the snowmobile
to make the trek to see the concert.
Any news on upcoming tour dates GREATLY apprectiated.
Life can be so unassuming if you do not follow your passions ....
seeing Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band is one of my big passions.
BIG time fan !!

Aloha Kevin!
I love your site here. My husband I are long time Seger fans and would kill to see him in concert!
His music continues to touch my soul and I have his CD in my car right this minute. "Turn the page"
is my favorite song of all time. Thanks for sharing your pictures and other Seger items with the rest of us.

Hi
Just wanted to add my 2cents. We lived in Cleveland Ohio at the time.
I started listening to Bob Seger when I was in my early twenties.
He was the hot singer in our town and our click.
For my sisters birthday one year in 1978, as her birthday present,
I took her to see Bob at the Cleveland Stadium. She was pregnant at
the time with her second son Jeremy. Well, Frampton opened up and
then another band and then came the man. He was excellent. My sister went into labor.
I begged her to hold on for awhile. She did. We finally left cause the
pains got really strong but I took Bob with me in my heart to the delivery room that day.
I am sure my sister did too. My nephew was born around midnight that evening. It was a great day.
Thank you

Hello, I just wanted to say I think you have an awesome web site here!!
I am the lead singer in a local Toledo band and have been a huge, huge,
huge Bob Seger fan since I was a little boy.
Bob Seger has been such a huge inspiration on my original material
that I could never begin to thank him!!
Let me thank you, for all your hard work in creating this site and I am sure Bob feels the same way.

I am trilled to find your web site. I am trying to remember the first time I heard Bob's music.
It must have been about 30 or so years ago, when I was 13. I now have a 24 yr. old son.
I was thrilled when he asked me to purchase him a Bob Segar cd for Christmas.
I am not amazed that so many still love his music, and now it has been passed on down to our children.
I was curious to know if Bob is aware of this site ? I sure hope so,
and hope he can see how much his music is appreciated and missed.
I have just been on Ebay looking for his music for my son, however
there is nothing like the man in person. Bob if you can see this site,
you are deeply missed and loved. You may have stopped recording,
but your music will live forever. I just wish you happiness in any
and all you do. You would be very welcome in the state of Ks. anytime.
Thank you Kevin for giving me the chance to air and to know others feel the same.
I will mail a letter and I am hoping at least he will know how many feel. Have a wonderful holiday season.

Hi Kevin,
This may not be "frequently" asked.
How come, please, that Bob Seger was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame so
much later than the Eagles? Remembering from my days of avid fan-ness that
Bob Seger was the guy who first gave Glenn Frey his help/advice when Mr Frey
was just starting out?
And all these years later, Main Street still makes my spine turn to water.
Sincere thanks. This is the first time I've visited your site and it's
given me loads of information.
Happy weekending,

I have watched the inductions to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame every year they
have been broadcast. One of the most heartfelt speeches has been Kid Rock's
induction of Bob Seger. He was a nervous wreck, practically in tears that he was
given the opportunity to induct his hero. Bob had this same impact on millions
of fans in the 1970's and 1980's. I was one of them. I don't know if Bob has
plans to record another CD of original material or go on tour. However, I feel
that he owes it to his fans to release two items:
1. A career-spanning box set, with heavy emphasis on the out of print material,
pre-Live Bullet. (4 CD's)
2. A concert DVD. Ideal would be a double disc with a complete concert from
around 1978 and another concert from 1986.

Just a quick note , been like u a fan of Bob sgers for over 30 years.
Been away from his music due to unaviodable circumstances for some time
but tracked down and bought his Greatest hits from 1994v the other day
and again I'm totally hooked. What a voice, what lyrics, never heard better.
Dispute with good friends who think he may have toured Australia but I dont think he did.
Can u confirm either way. Interested in your thoughts.
Regards,
George.

Kevin,
I have been listening to Bob Seger since I was 12 years old in my friends
basement . I went to see him for the first time in Oct of 1980 and lost my voice
for four weeks I destroyed my vocal cord because I went to the concert while
recovering from strep throat . It was my first concert I had chances to see
other people but wanted to see the best first . I have seen him two other times
and each one was as good if not better then the other . I tell my kids all the
time if they listen to the live CD from the Oct 10, 1980 concert the nine
tonight one they can hear me singing each and every word ... I would love to see
him in concert again and would love it if he did the your living inside my heart
it has to be one of my favorite songs ever it makes me cry every time I hear it
.. I also love Till it shines . I would love to get a chance to see him in
concert at least one more time . I have heard that he is thinking of going out
again and that he has a new cd coming out soon .. This would be the best news to
me . I have a very special person I would love to take to this and also I would
love to go with my kids and my dearest and oldest friend ... Her and I have the
best memories to his song ..Main Street and We've got tonight all the best ones
thanks for the updates on him

Hi Kevin, It's great to see all the work you've done on Uncle Bob.
That's what we all called him when I was back in High School. I worked
at a hotel were they stayed in Louisville Kentucky after a show and got to
meet him very briefly. I have always thought him to be The best in Rock and Roll.
I always will. His music moves and haunts me to this day. It brings back so
many memories of good times had. The last time I got to see him was in 1996 in Tampa Florida.
When I got to hear Mainstreet, I truly came to tears. His music could move your soul. I hope it always does!!!!!!!!
I hope we get to hear from him again even if he doesn't tour.
I do believe I have seen him and the band more than any other group.
I've been to a lot of concerts through out the country but, he's always been the best.
God Bless our Country, Bob and the Band and forever Rock and Roll.

Hi Kevin,
I just wanted to say what an awesome site you have here.
I grew up listening to Bob Seger. He always takes me back to my childhood.
I am only 27 but since the day I was born Mom and I listened to him.
I hope the rumor is true, I would love to go and see him on tour.
When I think of Bob Seger, he reminds me of the phrase American as apple pie.......... Thats Bob.
Thank you again for the great site, now I know where to go and get a fix lol.

Great job and a lot of energy put into this site!
I have been a fan of Bob's since the late 70's and have most of his albums,
expect 1 or 2 hard to find early discs, such as, Brand New Morning and Noah.
Bottom line is, you make mention of getting Bob to tour again often in your site.
I realize those chances are slim so I would rather know........
IS HE EVER GOING TO DO ANOTHER STUDIO ALBUM??????
It would be great to hear from him after only a handful of songs over the past 9-10 years.
I am sure, as the great songwriter he has, he has more than just the few Greatest Hits add-ons
and Chances Are lying around just dying to be recorded.
Anyway, thanks for keeping us all up on Bob!

Hello, Kevin.
First of all, I have to thank you for your site. It is quite a work, and has provided me with a lot of information.
I didn't grow up a Seger fan, but I did grow up being heavily influenced by his music. My father was a C&W fanatic, and there were some rare artists on his playlist from the '70's and early '80's that actually crossed the line into something cool. At the top of that list was Bob Seger's work with the Silver Bullet Band.
I didn't really discover Seger, though, until the late '80's when I started to delve into the science of songwriting. For some reason, I kept going back to Seger's work for inspiration. His songs are so simple, yet so powerful. It took a very long time, but I put Seger's songwriting ability right up next to the likes of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, and, yes, Eddie Vedder.
That is where my question comes in. I love Seger's music, but my largest interest when it comes to Seger is his songwriting ability. It seems that anyone can cover a Seger tune and make it sound good.....not as good as Seger, mind you, but there is a certain mystique that surrounds the simple hook riffs of songs like Turn the Page, Main Street, and the like.
But I happened across an interesting find a few years back, and now I'm not so certain if my memory is serving me correctly. Upon searching through my mother's old 45 collection, I remember coming across one of those small vinyl recordings that accredited Bob Seger as the author of the song. I don't remember much about it, but it was on a Motown label. I could have sworn that Bobby Darin's "If I Were a Carpenter" (written by Tim Hardin) was the A-side, but I could be mistaken.
What I"m looking for is a comprehensive listing of songs that Seger wrote for the Motown label (or perhaps other labels) before making it big in his own right. His work ethic from the late '60's and early '70's is legendary, but he still had to make a buck while waiting for his albums to go platinum somehow...right?
If you could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.
Forever a Seger fan:
Bryan K
Bryan,
Most of his published works are on the albums he put out, including "If I
were a Carpenter" which is listed in the albums section of the site. there
are only a handfull of singles that are not. I will eventually get them
listed on my site. -Kevin

Hi there!
Agian, I am one of Bob's most devoted fans. I live in Calgary, Alberta and I have listened to Bob
since I was 12 years old. I am now 44. Long time for someone to dedicate thier life to someone.
I do not have this kind od committment on any body else. As far as I am concerned, everybody else
is one hit wonders, but, however, Bob will live on.............He rules the rock world 4-ever!
As a matter of fact, it is 2:54 and guess what? I am listening to him. His song "Night Moves" is
my most favorite. My son was born during this era.........Rock on BOb Seger and your Silver Bullet Band
.....Nobody can top you, nobody

Kevin:
I just finished going over your site and the links to the Free Press......Loved it!
Growing up in Michigan (Alpena, Tri-Cities, & Kalamazoo), Bob Seger was as important in my
life as the Michigan fresh air (currently live in Dallas, TX).
Bob and I are roughly the same age and as a young high school and garage band musician,
I have always related to his music. Today when my wife and I hit a kareoke bar,
I'm up their doing Seger or Neil Diamond, both excellent writers and soulful singers.
I hope he can compile "Live concert" DVD, I was at a store yesterday looking for one and didn't find one.
Thanks for the website, I like catching up on Seger and other Michigan happenings.
Regards,

Hi Kevin, I just ran across your site and I must say it is wonderful.
I have been an avid Bob Seger fan for close to 30 years and will be til the day I die.
His music has not only made me laugh, but has also made me cry.
I can identify so much with what he has to say.
I have had the pleasure of seeing him and the Silver Bullet Band 9 times with the last
time being April 6, 1996 at the Key Arena in Seattle Washington.
I pray he will tour again as I know he still has it in him. My children listened to his
music while still in my womb and to this day they love his music.
When we go on trips they ask me if I brought any “Bob Seger” music and of course I tell them YES!
My kids are now 12 and 14 and can still rock out to his music, of course, not as much as me!
His music has been such an inspiration in my life. I
don’t know how I made it this far without it. I
know his music as well as the Stones and the Beatles will still be around in the next 20
or so years and bands like “50 Cent” and “Nickelback” will be nothing more than
change you get back from a dollar! Long live Old Time Rock and Roll!

Hello Keving! When I was a young girl, I grew up on Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band.
Now at a young age of 33, I travel the long and lonely roads with my favorite music, Bob Seger
and the Silver Bullet Band. I can listen to the music for hours on end.
Since I am a single parent, my children ages 17 and 9 they listen to the musice I grew up.
When the music flows, my daughters use their listening skills and image the stories behind the music.
If the hint of a TOUR is true I would love to take my daughters along to experience an unbelievable Band
of my generation.
I pipeline for a living and when in camp or on the right of way in the FAR north of Canada,
I can not go without Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band. I thoroughly enjoy Roll Me Away!
When I hear the music, it inspire me and makes the work that much more enjoyable.
To my sister, Kathy, who is relocating to New Mexico from Alberta Canada,
BS & SBB of course is the only travel music to play. Stock up and enjoy the ride!
Respectfully,
Arlette McArthur

Hi Kevin
I have just found your site very useful in some research I have just been doing.
I noted your disclaimer on the album credits which reminded me that the credit for
Old Time Rock and Roll was to the MSRS but apparently Bob couldn't get the feel he
wanted with them and used the demo he was covering, which Jackson Highway had done
for their own album. I heard this from one of the ex members of Jackson Highway who
I met in Memphis when I was in the US last year.
I don't know if this info is any good for you and your website or
if it can be substantiated by Muscle Shoals who have quite a good website themselves.
There's a few bits of Bob on it.

Hi Kevin,
I've been a Seger fan for a long time. I'm 49 and holding. I just wanted to share a story with you about Bob Seger and the band.
My oldest son, Allen, worked in a restaurant in Washington (Spiffy's) as a busboy in 1995-1996.
He came home late on night after work and woke me up and was so excited he couldn't hardly contain himself.
He said a tour bus pulled into the parking lot and a bunch of really tired looking people came in.
He went out to the parking lot and saw it was Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band.
He got up enough courage to talk to one of the group and said that his Mom was a fan and he couldn't wait to tell me that he saw them.
A minute later, the guy he talked to came over to him with Bob Seger himself.
He chatted with my son for a while and gave him a look at the bus. My son was so impressed!
He told me he was just like a regular person and a really nice guy.
I heard my son tell this story to MANY people over the next few years.
He instantly became a big fan. He went on to be a Journeyman Electrician by the age of 21.
He was a fine, straight-forward, stand up kind of guy.
The song "Like A Rock" could have been written to describe him.
He was killed in a auto accident on August 5 2000.
We played "Like A Rock" at his funeral and it's also inscribed on his headstone.
Every time I hear the song I think of him and thank Bob for the song.
He's made a lasting memory for my son and for me.

Hi, been a avid Bob Seger fan since high school.
Traveled with a carnival for ten years and the main song for the closing of the day was TURN THE PAGE. Loved you guys then and love you now.
Listened to you on WMMS out of Cleveland, WSHE out of Miami, and the best one is KSLX out of Phoenix, AZ. PLEASE COME BACK TO PHOENIX, AZ. There is nothing like OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL!!!!! My husband and I got together because of your music, we both love your songs! LOVE YOU

Hi, well I am thrilled that I have found this site.
Myself and my husband are truly Bob Seger fans. We grew up listening to his music and when we hear his music today, it makes us want to get out and PARTY like we used to.
Since we are both in our 40's partying just isn't what it used to be. ha ha.
Anyway, I truly hope that Bob Seger does tour as I can picture an unbelievable performance. I'm excited just at the hint of a Bob Seger tour. I reside in British Columbia, Canada, so I hope Bob and his band can make a few stops here. Canadians are Great to Party with!!!!!!! Especially the over 40 clan!!!!!!

Hey Kevin,
I am a Seger fan of many many years.
I live in a very small rural area in very Northern California.
Some call it God's country. It is truly beautiful, not only the landscape but the people as well.
We all grew up on Bob's music. A great big bunch of us.
We know all of the words to every song ever recorded.
He has had such an impact on my life and the memories in it.
I am now a grandma ( a very hip grandma) and my 4 yr old grandson loves "nine tonight".
Knows all of the words. It would be SO sweet if Bob toured again.
I would be there in a second. I am going to check out your whole web sit now and good luck on
getting the best man alive to tour again.

I just wanted to say thank you for your site! I've been searching for info on any hint
of an upcoming tour. I had to miss his last concert in Indy several years ago when we
unexpectedly had to go out of town. I have decided that is one of those moments in life
when you look back and say "I wish I could've......" My friends all know that I cannot
have a party, cookout, road trip, vacation or anything without Bob Seger playing and a
Bud Light in my hand. I will bookmark your site and spread the word. We will be looking
forward to the day when we get on your site and see that a tour is planned!!
Keep up the good work and we will get our letters out ASAP.
P.S. We are having our annual lake party this summer and would love to have Bob play there.
He might be a little busy(haha) so, do you know (or anyone from your site) know of any good
cover bands in Indy?
Thanks again! Jennie-Indiana

I have a lot of good memories connected
with Seger's music. I just started listening to his music again recently
and it still exudes the power and feeling that it always has for me. I was
either too young or too poor to see him in concert, but have enjoyed his
music as far back as I can remember, no matter what my mood. This is a good site and I admire your dedication and
effort you have put into it.

Dear Kevin, Just
a quick line to say "thanks" for all the excellent info on your web page.
Sadly, from being in the
U.K., we don't get full the appreciation and exposure of the 'Silver
Bullet'.
I first came
across Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band in July 1980 from a friends
tape of 'Stranger in Town'. I was 13 at the time. From then it's been a
case following the 'Silver Bullet' whenever possible.
If anybody knows when the band
will tour the UK please let me know! Your truly - a
'Stranger from outer Town' Kind Regards, Andy Gannon

hi my name is Darlene im 43 years old a school bus driver.
I have always been a true fan . the first time I ever lessened to a Bob Seger
and the silver Bullet band was when I was a stripper to keep me and my twins together,
a man gave me a album with the song down on main street said you don’t belong here
and made me promise to lesson to that song ( down on main street) .
I worked long enough to get money to move into Wayne county New York.,
I left Rochester NY. I made a life for me and my twins.
I raised them alone 11 years ,then I met a good man and he adopted the twins .
there now 22 years old .One went to Kuwait he is a marine.
By the grace of Jesus he is safe back home in the USA.
Bob I know you will never see this letter .You have people read them but that song
down on main street changed my life. the twins dad was on drugs beat me so I danced to get out.
I have a good life all because of your song and a man I don’t know saw I did not belong there
and gave me your alblum. God bless you all and your families

Hullo: At age 46 it's not too late I
hope to say how much I've enjoyed Bob's music. I've been a fan since first
hearing him at Cambridge in 1976 and the magic has never gone away.
There's no other singer/band I can say I've listened to EVERY SINGLE
DAY..for the past 25 years...May he and the Silver Bullet Band go on
forever... Thanks for the music Bob. Leah J. Melnyk

Hi Kevin, I thought I was the biggest
Seger fan. It was great to finally find your site.Seger's music has been a
staple in my life since Oct. 6 1980, the same show you were at. Althought
it wasn't my first concert , it was by far the best , and I have seen a
lot.At the end of the show I stood in the balcony , which was moving up
and down from people jumping , with my chin on the floor. I have never
seen a performer get a crowd going like that nite. I wished they had put
Horazontal Bop on Nine Tonight ,it was great live. I feel fortuate to have
been there. It took a lot of guts to record in that old place , not many
could have pulled that off. They really hacked up Let It Rock on the CD,
I'm on my 3rd copy of the cassette.Seger is the best live, I've seen him 5
times.Could you tell me if the Mansfield in 96 was his last concert and if
Roll Me Away is a true story? Thanks for the great site, will be hitting
alot. Bob Younker Salem

what not. i guess when it comes to the almighty
Silver Bullet Band, you've really got your act together. keep it up, Johnny

I WORE OUT THAT 8 TRACK AND WORKING ON
WEARING OUT CD. IN THE SWEET SUMMER-TIME, THERE IS NO SOUND SWEETER THAN
BOB'S SOUND. I CAUGHT THE BEST EVER CONCERT IN TULSA, OK WHEN BOB PLAYED
THERE IN 1983 I THINK IT WAS, AND SOME YEARS LATER I THOUGHT I SAW HIM ON
A BIG TURQUOIS BLUE HARLEY, OR SOME NICE BIG BIKE. POSSIBLE? WHO COULD
TELL? I STILL WISH I HAD STOPPED TO FIND OUT. I AM SORRY HE NEVER PLAYED
THE HUGE BIKER RALLEY IN STURGIS,SD. MY REAL HOME AREA, THE BLACK HILLS,IN
SD,HEART OF THE USA, ARE AS COOL AS THE LEDGENDARY BOB SEGER, THE HEART OF
ROCK N ROLL HIMSELF. PLEASE COME ON OUT HERE AND SEE FOR YOURSELF BOB,
YOU'LL LOVE IT. OR HAS HE ALREADY BEEN SPOTTED ON A HARLEY IN THE HILLS BY
ONE OF THE MILLIONS OF SEGER FANS?

I really enjoyed your Seger Site. I've
been a fan ever since I heard Live Bullet at a 6th grade dance (I'm 37

I first heard Bob Seger when I was
attending college at westmar university. Some of his songs are so great
but everytime I listen to them I feel sad. His lyrics are really strong
and to top it off his voice matches the passion in those lyrics. It seems
that when I listen to mainstreet, nightmoves, turn the page, against the
wind and others, I am carried off into the past and how time carries and
changes us all.
It was
great to just hear somebody ramble off their true thoughts and feelings
about time, women, and aging.

Hello, Thank you
for this site, I recently purchased a BS&SBB greatest hits album and I
was suprised how many great songs were on there that I had forgotten
about. The effect of any Bob Segar song I hear is the same..it transports
me directly back to my Detroit rock city youth in the 70's and 80's,
jammin' to WLLZ 98.7, and of course the Home of Rock and Roll WRIF. I was
suprised to see that BS wrote all the songs which is basically unheard of
in this day and age. Being not a baby boomer, but rather a Gen X'er, I
have lived through quite a few changes in the rock/pop rock scene, and
moved far away from Michigan. Much of the music is great (Nirvana/Pearl
Jam), much of it is not so great. I guess it is summed up best in "Old
Time Rock and Roll"....give me that old time Rock & Roll..hell yeah,
it all makes sense now with some perspective. JMO'C

I am so happy to have located this site.
You made my night. I have loved the Silver Bullet band for many years. I
can remember riding my schwin speed bike on the highway along the east
branch of the Delaware River listening via earphones with cassette player
hooked on my handle bars-1978-1980. Then in Dallas, Texas blaring Bob
Seger's tunes @ the pool--also in Arlington @ home I purchased, hanging
laundry and digging it. I absolutely love his group's music, and always
will. A few years back I was on the road again coming in from NYC, and I
heard he was giving a concert in Montage Mtn. PA that night, it was a
Tuesday ngt. Man was I bummed , because had I heard a bit sooner I'd of
done everything to get there. But, I was totally unprepared for that one.
Besides listening to his music by purchase's or by radio-this SITE is
exciting and I thankyou for offering enthusiastic joy; it has only taken
23 year's to see this much of Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band.
In common, Brenda From

with him and his music. If I am I can live with
that! Again, great job! Keep up the good work, I
will be a regular reader. P.S. Thank you for doing
this!!!

Bonjour : I a Detroit east sider from
Chalmers - I-94 area , who now lives in Las Vegas . I used to see Bob at
Notre Dame High School Dances , the Hide Out , the Crows Nest , etc.. I
played Lead Guitar for Steve Farmer & Rick Lorber in the Amboy Dukes
after Ted Left the band . I played on stage with Bob at the Red Carpet on
E. Warren Ave . in Det. I'm sitting here listening to Bob right now , "
Against the Wind " ! There is this commercial runnin on TV in the Las
Vegas area . It's about a little boy who is telling his dad that he wants
to be a Teacher when he grows up . Dad says to him , " wouldn't you like
to be a doctor and make lots of money ? " The boy , prodigicly , says to
dad , " yah , but dad , without teachers , where would doctors come from ?
" I heard Bob say one time around the Tiger Stadium - Eagles " incident "
, they don't want to hear my music anymore ". Bob is the teacher . All who
are out there doin it right now have learned from Bob either directly or
indirectly . Some teacher don't have it easy . Bob happens to have a very
unruly class to teach , but teach he should , because some of his previous
students have gone astray . The world NEEDS his particular slant on life
in their ears . Build it and they will come . Play it and they will listed
Bob . They need to so they have to , they will !!! Now I'm listening to "
Like a Rock ". If you have an IN , get this to Bob . Take care . P.Potter21

In 1976 I was living in England and
studying at Cambridge. One morning I heard a voice that sounded like
canvas ripping, that gave me the shivers right down to my toes. I followed
the sound down the hall and into an associate master's rooms. He had no
idea who the singer was and it was only after contacting the local radio
station that I found out who the singer was and the song was Night Moves.
From that moment on I have loved Bob Seger's music. Delighted to know he
and the band are still around. Great website. Thanks for the music Bob.

THIS IS ABSOLUTLY GREAT I LOVE YOUR SITE

NOTHING CAN HELP THE SOUL LIKE SOME GOOD MUSIC OF BOB SEGARS OLD SONGS.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DO THIS. DEBBIE

Just found your website today - thanks!
I'm a Motor City boy born & raised who left for the Rockies many years
ago who never forgot the music that helped me get through adolescence and
sent me careening into life. Probably the biggest influence was (is)
Brother Bob Seger in ALL his musical incarnations. The note that I want to
send to you involves my childhood in Rochester, MI and Bob & the
System living in a farmhouse out on Tienken Rd. just after they released
Ramblin' Gamblin' Man - all of us teenage pot smokers loved having such a
fine role model living in our midst and I can tell you that even after all
of these years there is still a group of us who remember those days with
fond (though hazy) memories.... If you talk to Bob,
tell him we are waiting for him to revisit some fishing holes on the
Yellowstone some summer soon! The drift boat is waiting & the
cutthroats are rising - Rock 'n Roll Never Forgets! ===== Y'all be good now,
y'heah? Gonzo
2/10/01
Great web-site!! I just happened upon it
today. I too have seen lots of concerts, but never a Bob Seger - Silver
Bullet Band one. So I will keep in touch in hopes there will be one
sometime soon. Everytime I leave town on a trip I pop in a Bob Seger tune
for the road, they are the best! Thanks for the
entertainment! MN Mermaid

Dear Mr. Seger and the Silver Bullet
band, I just want you all to know that you're music
inspires me like none other. I'm 27, and I really relate to the lyrics
& music your songs, Still the Same, The Fire Inside, & Roll Me
Away. Honestly, those are some of the all time greatest songs ever. I'm
from SF, and I'm just now starting with my music career. I don't care if
I'm a late starter, I was born to do this and you'all have helped to keep
burning...my Fire Inside. Thank God for you and God bless. -- Best, Bradley D. Willard Whiplash

Hi. I was thrilled to find your site
today. I am a huge Bob Seger fan. In fact, my youngest child is actually
named Seger. I have been a huge fan all my life and have had that name
picked out for many years. I hope that Bob will be touring soon so that I
can take my children and younger brother to a show. Keep up the good work.
Sincerely, Amy Jones

Hi Kevin, Don't
know how active your site is, but reading Doug's recollections brought
back many fond memories of the tour. I was the chief pilot for about 50
cities, and really enjoyed my time with the band. It was the first time
Bob had toured extensively with an aircraft, and some band members were
really nervous in the beginning (CRAIG FROST!!!!!!) but as we worked our
way around the good ole USA everyone got comfortable with the speed and
convenience of our Gulfstream I, I've been flying for 35 years, and the 96
tour was by far the most fun I've ever had!!!!!!!!!! Hope Bob will decide
to do it again some day, but it doesn't look too likely, anyway keep up
the site. Ben Jungman

Just wanted to say that I feel that Bob
Seger is by far the best R&B rocker there ever was, or, ever will be.
I, as a retired rock musician have performed many of his songs, and
recieved very good response from my audience. I would like to thank Bob
Seger for being the most positive influence in my past musical career. Pat Jaquin
1/26/01
I thoroughly enjoy visiting this web
site...the only thing that compares is listening to Bob Seger, the
greatest rocker of all time! A fan since the 70's I've seen Bob live 4
times, the last time was at Miami Arena in February 1995. He was as
awesome as ever, and the place was packed! He and the Silver Bullet Band
need to plan another tour, and make South Florida, where he is LOVED, one
of the tour stops. Keep up the great work on the website! Sue Spruce, Ft. Lauderdale
1/26/01
What an awesome site!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank
you so much for this. I have loved Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
for 21 years. I have been fortunate to see him three times in concert. I
am proud of this effort. I plan to log on to your
site very often. C K Ward

Seasons Greetings, Just found your
website,Yahoo. One of the earliest I can verify seeing Bob was at Ford
junior high school for .50 cents about 1967.His drummers drumset included
these kettle drum skins that reached up from the floor and twisted over
his head so the skin s surface actually faced down over him so where ever
he flailed his arms he was hitting some skins.One could occasionally see
him at "the Town Pump", a local pub in Walled Lake Michigan.He'd be in
there just for some drinks.It wasn't far from the Ford plant I believe he
had worked at in the '60's.This was in the early 70's as he was living in
the Walled Lake-Waterford Michigan area at the time.I'd seen him at the
Grande Ballroom about this time.I myself worked at Cobo Hall in downtown
Detroit about this time,1972-1974,and I worked every Rock show there and
at Ford auditorium during this time.I've been to Ted Nugent houseparties
and met Meatloaf in 1969 when I worked for the live play "Hair".SRC{I.m so
glad] was one of many Detroit area groups that jammed in our homes
basement as we had a permenant set-up.But this is about Bob Seger.I have
my original 45's of East side story,East side sound,Heavy
Music,Persecution Smith, many others that no one in New Jersey has ever
heard.His Capitol records Greatest Hits was a Disappointment without so
many of his early accomplishments.[Ford junior high was in
Livonia,Michigan]I also seen the WHO at Southfield H.S.{MI} in 1967.Please
call back and feel free to give my address to any Michigan rockers.I'm
presently in Atlantic City. Cowabunga, Dan Murphy

Hi, My name is Kelly.I am barely 16 years
old and I like Bob Seger.When I met my boyfriend about a year ago he
introduced me to Bob Segr music.It was so catchy and great to listen to
that I fell in love.I found your website the other day and wanna thank you
for a website like this.It honors a man who truly deserves it.On behailf
on my boyfriend I would also like to thank you because he ,I think,is the
biggest Bob Seger fan alive.I think he has been listening to him his whole
life.His dream is to see Bob in concert.But anyways just a big thanks from
a little girl! sincerly, KELLY

I just found your site and I love
it! I lost my hearing ten years ago when I was 26
years old. I have recently had a Choclear Implant which allows me to hear
again (sort of). With this implant, I will need a lot of rehabilitation so
that my brain can re-learn to hear. Music has been a tremendous
frustration for me because it just doesn't sound the same as I remember
it. Then I heard "Night Moves" on the radio and I
literally cried. It was EXACTLY how I remember it and after finding your
website with all the lyrics, I'm on my way out the door to find every
BS&SSB CD that I can. What a great way to ring
in the New Year, Thanks so much! Lisa H.

Great fan page on my favourite
artist. Only unfortunate thing is Bob Seeger never
made it to Australia. Being such an sparsely populated place we do not
have enough radio other than those that pay the usual pop tunes so Bob
Seeger never got the airplay he deserved aprt from a few singles. Keep up the good work, have bookmarked. Regards Brendan Scanlon,
Australia
11/27/00
Hello, It's great to see that there are
other dedicated fans out there. Fans that may be even more interested than
me in Bob's work. At times I can't get enough of his music. If you learn
of a possible tour, please post it or let me know of it. Bob rules, Thanks for the site, Matt Coyne

Kevin, Greetings
from another Kevin, and Bob Seger fan in Pekin, Illinois. I have seen
everyone from Aerosmith to ZZ Top, but, regrettably, have never gotten to
see Bob. I have grown up with Bob's music. Hell, 'Sunspot Baby' was the
best medicine possible for my first girlfriend who used my credit cards
and stomped on my heart. His music is as much a part of our musical
heritage as the Beatles or the Stones and I am thrilled he has a shot at
the Hall of fame...he belongs there. Regards, Kevin

I have been a fan since I first heard
the Beautiful Loser album played on the radio. Bob Seger puts on one of
the best live shows that I have ever seen, and no matter how many time I
have heard the song "Turn the Page" I never get tired of it. I hope that
one day Bob records a CD with one of the still living Blues legends, like
Eric Clapton did with B.B. King. Whether it is Blues, Funky-old Sole, or
that Old-time Rock 'N Roll, Bob is one of the greatest!!!! Larry Oliveto

I found your site today and spent over an hour
enjoying it. I have been a devoted seger fan for many years! Have been to
several of his concerts when he was in the Charlotte, NC area. His brother
Charlie worked and lived in Salisbury, my home town and ALWAYS gave us
concert tickets! My X-husband was more of a classical music fan, and
always "rubbed it in" that I was a "redneck and listened to redneck Seger
Music". Seger's music took me thru a lot of lonely nites. There were times
I would drive for hours in the middle of the night with my coffee and Bob
Seger. I honestly think my time alone, thinking and listening to his
wonderful music, kept me from loosing my mind! My only son is 13, and is
now a devoted seger fan! While all of his friends are listening to what
the average 13 year old is listening to, my son always has seger on! And
the kicker is that, the x-husband is now a seger fan also! Many, many
thanks for your hard work and dedication to this website! Lock and Load!

Kevin, Great site. I am a long time Bob Seger fan
as are all of my friends. Anyways, our favorite bar is closing (been
around since the 1920's). We (as well as our parents and their parents
etc, etc) have shared so many great moments and memories there, one of
which is blasting Seger on the jukebox. The closing night is a week and a
half away and to send it off appropriatly, I want to play and sing THE
FAMOUS FINAL SCENE at last call. However, I can not find tabs anywhere
(Amazon, EBAY). Any suggestions or you would not happen to have them? Neil

Hey- Its ok for you guys in the U.S. What about us
poor brits its years since bob played here and then only two dates Anyway
looking for info- Are there any official Seger videos available in the US,
if so where can I purchase them? Also is there any sign of Noah, Brand new
morning and Back in 72, being released on CD?. Didn't know they existed
till I found your site,although I picked up a promo single which said
taken from the album Back in 72 Any signs of a tour taking in England?
Thanks for any Help Getting old but "rock and roll never forgets" Les

Hi Kevin Congratulations on your fantastic site. It
has taken me ages to find a site on Bob Seger. Unfortunately we don't get
to hear anything much on Bob down here in Australia except when a new
albumen is released . We are planning to go back to the states soon and
hope to incorporate a concert of Bob in our travels. Please keep us posted
of any tour dates in the States or Canada as I don't see him ever coming
to Australia. Keep up the FANTASTIC work. Jacinta at

About 5 years ago I worked at a CD store
and they were advertising Bob Seger's 50th birthday, and I thought he was
just another aging rocker. I was familiar with him and The SBB only
because my father had a guitar music book of him. About a year ago I heard the Travelin' man/Beautiful
Loser combo...I fell in love. It is now my favorite song, and any time I
here anything by Bob, I crank up the radio. I know
I don't have the fan history, heck I wasn't even in grade school when he
was doing his major touring, but I just wanted to let you know. Andrea ps (excellent job on
the web site!)

OHHHHHH MYYYYYY Godddddddd! I thought I was the
only Bob Seger freak!!! Just kidding. I live in Music City USA. The
wonderful town of Nashville. My dad took me to my first BS concert in
1976. I am now 39 years old. I returned the favor when BS last played in
Nashville, my treat! 1993 or 1994. We all lose a few brain cells. Bob is
here from time to time, but then again you probably already know that. Just wanted you to know how great I thought the
website was. Very tasteful. Enjoyed the photos. Keep up the good work. DeAnna

Hi, I have just finished reading the info on your
'Bob Seger' site and found it really interesting. I have been a Bob fan for years; now entering my 40th
year so it has been awhile!!. I have been trying to
purchase a copy of the album 'Against the wind' (Feb.1980) but over here
in New Zealand it seems darn near impossible; and as I have just purchased
this computer and learning the in and outs of cyber world I will have to
get some more practice at trying to locate sources/bidding on the
internet. Any help you could give me on recommending a good source for
albums would be really great. Keep up the great
work; I truely enjoyed your site. Cheers Jan
3/15/00
hey dude, just wanted to let you know how much I
enjoyed your Seger site. I'd like to include it on my webpage if it is
okay with you? He is totally awesome. Have any ideas when or if he is
doing a tour? I live in the Pittsburgh area. Thanks for all your hard work
on the site. Excellen job!!!! Peace and love, Chapin. P.S. I have linked

Kevin,
I just read over your page on Bob Seger. Being from
the Flint area I too, grew up on Bob Seger. Love the guy and the band! I
got to see the final concert of his 1986-87 tour where he ended up at Joe
louis Arena. It was fantastic ! but not as neat as being able to go Back
stage to the party afterwards.
My husband worked with Craig Frost's cousin @ the
Buick City Complex in Flint. It was terrific. The Georgia Satellites
opened up for him. At the party we met everyone except for Bob Seger.
Still it was a night to always remember and I have !!! Nigt Moves is one
of my favorite albums but Ramblin Gamblin Man is still my favorite
song!!!
Keep up the good work!
Another life long Bob Seger& the Silver Bullit
Band FAN!!!!!

Thanks for all of the work that you put into your

Do you know if Bob Seger is planning to tour during

sure hope so!!!!).
Thanks,

Hello Kp,
I was just looking at your nice website on Bob
Seger and I was wandering if you knew if the band was going on tour
anytime soon. I do not have a clue where to go to find this out and I
thought you might had an idea. Doesn't hurt to try. Well, I'd appreciate
an answer because I too am a huge fan.

first saw Bob Seger in a show in 1965. I was
immediatley awed by his command of the stage and of his audience. I have
never wavered in my Love of his music, and the sure belief that he was
then and still is
what Rock and Roll is all about. I think that the
reason that he is not in the place of honor that he should be is because,
unless you see him live, you cannot realize how great he and the band
is.
I want to thank you for a great website. I am glad
that there is a place I can turn to to find out what is up with Mr.
Seger.
Thanks again,
Michael Camerino
P.S. You should see this copy of Stranger in Town
album that I have with Bob Segers pictured in the album, one of my most
prised possessions.
11/14/99
Dear Kevin:
Thank you so much for your site! I have my Bob's
greatest hits playing even as I type. What a talent he is. He's been my
favorite since my big brother gave me his Night Moves album to listen to
back when I was 9 years old. My friend and I used to lip synch and dance
to his amazing tunes down in the basement for hours on end...ah, what
great memories.
I have a very important question for you Kevin. Can
you get back to me with an answer to this question...
WHEN IS BOB GOING ON TOUR AGAIN AND IF HE IS, WILL
HE BE COMING TO THE D.C. AREA???
Thanks so much again and hope to hear from you.

Hi,
Just a quick note from Holland. I received my order
for the rereleases of NIGHT MOVES and LIVE BULLET and to my surprise they
are limited collector's editions, digitally remastered and best part is
that they are in an original album packaging like the old vinyl albums,
just smaller (like a cd). NIGHT MOVES is a single sleeve and LIVE BULLET a
double sleeve.
Just thought you'd like to know.
Best wishes from Holland

Do you know if Bob Seger or The Detroit All-Stars
will be performing anywhere this New Years' Eve? Please let me know if
they will be performing anywhere as I would very much like to attend. I
have been searching on Ticketmaster but have yet to find an awesome rock
& roll party.
If Bob and company are not performing would you
please recommend a Millenium-sized event in Michigan or nearby.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
Hi Kevin:
Excellent job on the web site!!!
What I'd like to know is if Bob is doing any shows
in the northern U.S. or in Canada any time soon.
If you could let me know I'd really appreciate it.
Bob rocks!
Thanks!
Lori.

Love your site! I've been a big Seger fan and
follower
since his Ann Arbor days. I just want to pass on
that
there have been a number of back up singers in
the
past, not just the 3 that you mention.
Marcy Levy was one of the first to work with Bob.
She went on the tour and record with Leon Russell, Eric Clapton, Smokey
Robinson and numerous others. She co-wrote a number of Clapton hits
including 'Lay Down Sally' and recently recorded with Elton John in
England, her new home. She was part of the successful duo of "Shakespere's
Sister's" and is now recording solo.
Kathy Lamb, Coleen Beacon, Pamela Moore, and June
Tilton were all part of the "Against the Wind" tour in1980. Lamb and
Beacon are both Detroit singers and did the first part of the tour and the
Detroit shows featured in the "9 Tonight" live album. I'm not sure what
they are doing now. Moore and Tilton did the second part of the tour
including the European tour and are featured in the Boston show selections
on "9 Tonight". Moore went on to record and tour with Meatloaf and Tilton
became a session and commercial singer in Los Angeles and more recently,
Nashville.
I hope this info will be helpful to you. Keep up
the good work! SEGER ROCKS

GREAT SITE. I AM NEW ON THE WEB, BUT NOT A NEW
SEGER FAN. I SAW HIM FOR THE 1ST TIME WHEN I WAS 15 IN 1980.
IT IS COOL TO SEE THERE ARE MANY SEGER HEADS STILL
OUT THERE. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK AND KEEP US INFORMED IF AND WHEN WE
WILL SEE BS&SBB ON TOUR.

Dear Kevin, I am a thirty year fan of Bob Seger, I
came down here to Tahiti with my infant son, in 91 we found a home &
never looked back.......except that I only brought a couple of my favorite
tapes of his along not realizing that it would be impossable to get
anything down here. We live on a tiny island of only 5000 persons and the
french have never been to hep on anything that isn't french so.....
I didn't even know that there had been another tour
after the American Storm till recently a friend brought me the Greatrst
hits. Lord we don't even have electricity. This laptop was a gift from
heaven and it's put me in touch ( at a great distance thank you very much)
One of the first things I'd was hit the wab in search of news
About my Idol. You site was by far one of the
best..............
My Mom was a fan of Bobs too, she was a Phd in
music & one of the greatest compliments she ever payed a rock muscian
was to say that the thing she appreciated most about his music was that it
was always musically correct.......,
Keep up the good work Kevin.......Tell Bob &
the Boys that, If they ever want to come to Tahiti for a vacation that on
the island of Huahine there is a wonderful
Vanilla plantation with a small camp ground bed and
breakfast that would love to host them and their
families.................Always Louise Temaiana

Hi! There is a song by Bob Seger in a movie called
"About Last Night". The song is " You're Living inside my Heart" I just
got online a few months ago, and hope you can help me find out how to get
a copy of it.My 20th anniversary is coming up soon and that song means
alot to me.
Thank you, Barbara Kennedy

Kevin,
Finally I found a Bob Seager great site that I was
looking since many months ago.
I got to see Bob at the Boston Garden in 1980 and
since them I really became Bob Seager fan. That was a great concert, I
think the best one he played in Boston.
I have one question to ask you to see if you can
help me. I have been looking out in the market trying to find any Bob
Seager live Concert Videos but it has been so difficult to find. Could you
please help me to find this Concerts Videos because I would like to
remember old times concerts. I will really appreciate this favor from
you.
Thank you very much and keep it up with this great
page of the greatest Bob Seager.

Hello:
Hoping you can send me an e-mail regarding
concerts...is Bob Seger even on tour right now, or do you know if he will
be in the future. I've seen him 3 times...fantastic every time!!! I'm a
huge fan and have been since I was a little kid.
I live in the Toronto area. Any information would
be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi Kevin,
I am a fan of all of Bob Seger's music because the
lyrics relate to so many situations I have come across in my lifetime plus
the music that goes with them is great. The songs have brought me solace
or pumped me up on too many occasions to count. What is it that draws you
to Bob Seger's music? I hope this is not too personal, I'm just a little
curious.
Thanks.....Cathie

Could you tell me when Bob Segers will come in
Spain to give a concert? Or where and when in Europe?
Thanks a lot, marianne

I really appreciate the time and energy to build
this site. Wow what a history Bob has. I guess the only way I know to
describe his music is that it just makes me feel good. None of his lyrics
are full of the violence and vulgarity that are so common today. I am
currently a stay at home dad and my kids are always bringing me one of
BS/SBB CD's to play. It is kind of nice to see my kids liking the music I
grew up listening to. I guess the real reason for emailing you is to find
out if you have Bob Segars email address. I actually met my wife at a
dance and our first song that we danced to was 'The Page'(not saying that
was the key but 4 months later we were married and have been for 8 years).
Not to blabber to much but we decided that we would really like to invite
Bob and his family out to Utah to do some skiing this winter. I guess its
the least we could do forsomeone who has entertained us for so long and in
a way helped us meet.

Just visited your web site...excellent! I have most
albums and have been a fan for years. I have every intention to come to
the US when he next tours. In fact my dream is to come to the East Coast,
by another Harley Softtail, (I have one here) and cruise the US following
his concerts, I guess fat chance that he would come to Aus in his
schedule.
I gotta say that when I read in one of the emails
about guys doing covers there is on Band called the "Bud Moffat Band" that
does a good job. I saw him at a rock cafe in NY about 10 years ago.The
cafe had a huge mosquito strung up in the middle...can't remember the
name.
Anyway, I play little and would love to get my
hands on the music for You'll accompany me, could you please point me in
the right direction.
See ya

Thanks Vincent

Hi Kevin,
do you see any chance to get the lyrics of 'Chances
Are', Segers song from 1998?. I'm German and sometimes I get problems to
understand what he is singing. I just have some parts of the lyrics.
Let me know. Thanks & best to you,

Hi, Kevin.
Came upon your Seger/Campbell website. Your
enthusiasm seems genuine! I met Chris Campbell on November 3, 1970. He was
playing with the Bob Seger System at the time. The gig that night was at
the Comerford Theater in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Jethro Tull was also
on the bill. I was 17 years old at the time and my friend and I were
covering the show for my high school newspaper. Eventhough we were just
kids, Chris treated us really nice that night and we liked him instantly.
I've got a rare "posed" polaroid photo of the band that I took back stage
that night (actually in the basement of the theater where the dressing
rooms were). Included in the photo are Bob, Chris, et al and their manager
at the time.
I also remember talking with Bob that night. Though
we thought he had "made it", given the success of "Ramblin' Man" (to us,
it was monumental success!), it was clear to see that he had greater
aspirations. Though he was grateful for our compliments, he knew there was
a much longer road that needed to be traveled yet and that he was nowhere
near the big time. The burning desire was there; he just didn't know how
it was all going to come together yet. You could see it in his eyes and
hear it in his voice. Given his huge success in the years that followed, I
have often thought of that night at the Comerford. It was one of those
once- in- a- lifetime moments to interact with a guy on his way to the
top; when the best was still to come. I still have the original
promotional flyer from that show and I believe somewhere in my reel to
reel audio tape "archives", I've got a good portion of that show live on
tape! 29 years ago!
I'll soon be 46 years old, but it doesn't seem like
so long ago!
Sincerely,
Edd R.

Hi there!
Found the site I´ve been looking for in years! Have
been a fan of the BS&SBB cince I heard the "Stranger in town" for the
first time in 1979. My old LP is in vinyl heaven now, joined by the
"Against the wind" Have finally located them on CD thanks to you. :) Keep
up the good work, and hopefully I´ll find his tour program on this site
soon. (No chance that he will tour Europe??)
Rock´n´roll never forgets!

Hello Kevin, I was just at your site searching for
info. I have a bizarre question for you, maybe you can help me. I need to
know if there is any documentation on Bob Seger ever "humming" (thinking
about) a particular song from 1962, as the lyrics suggest. And if so, what
song??~LOL~
I know this is rather odd, but trivia is just my
weakness!!~LOL~ Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

kevin, i'm a seger fanatic from way back- can you
spread the word i'm looking for NOAH,BRAND NEW MORNING and BACK IN '72.
also i saw somewhere in your e-mail section somebody asking about THIRD
POWER "BELIEVE" ALBUM. i'm a proud owner who would be happy to help out
that person . please post.
thank you. mike
7/27/99
Thanks for a "Bob Seger" site. Like many others who
love Bob Seger music I am really frustrated by the lack of choices to
purchase. I would love to find "Noah" and "Back in 72" on CD, but; hey
forget that I can't even findthem on vinyl anywhere. I have finally
destroyed my old copies listening to them thinking that Capitol would
eventually release them on CD but no chance so far.
Do you have any ideas where I might find either of
the above mentioned titles on CD, especially "Back in 72".
I live in China (formerly New Mexico &
California) and mail order will be my only hope.
Thanks for your time and appreciation for Bob
Seger!

I can remember listening to bob seger on a 8-track
tape player in the heart of Indiana(Marion). That was the happiest times
of my live. Even now when I think about those great times, living in the
country, huge farm house, those were the best of times. I'm grown now with
a family of my own, we still listen to Bob. The other day, my daughter and
I were in the car, TURN THE PAGE, came on, as it played, I told her the
words to the song, and she loved it. Here is another generation growing up
with the same great music I did. Through the good times and the bad, his
songs helped me through it. When I get homesick, I play LIKE A ROCK, over
and over. This is the best web site I've been to. Keep up the good
work.
Many thanks,

Kevin, Loved your webpage, came across
it doing research for a question that was asked in an email to my webpage
http://1964.lakeshore.8m.com. The email asks if Alto Reed graduated from
our school - Lake Shore, St. Clair Shores, MI. After seeing your page, I
was pretty certain you would know or have the ability to find out. I was in the USO at Selfridge AFB until 1967 when I
married my husband who was stationed there. I now live in Biloxi, MS but
get homesick from time to time (only in the summer). Linda
6/20/00>
I'm only twenty five, but my
memories of Bob Segar date back to my highchair days. My father was one of
the prominent radio personalities of the '70's and '80's. I grew up in Canada, without the Southern bikers,
Route 66, Casinos, or even Hollywood, but I could see it through the
music. My early childhood memories include my father cueing the turn table
at the station, and lipsinking "Hollywood nights", while millions more
played their air guitars, and drums.
15 years after my father's death my daughter watches
me cue up "Nine Tonight" on my turn table ( Because LP's are the only way
to listen to Rock and Roll). She's beginning to tap her feet.
I guess the great thing about
Bob Seger is that all our children will go through their phases (meaning
Rap, Hip Hop, Baggy pants) but we all know that one day they will put the
leather jacket on, cue the music and do what millons saw Tom Cruise do.
Thank you for the site!!!!!
5/25/99
Kevin:
I just finished looking at your tribute to Chris
Campbell, now I'm strolling through your unofficial Seger site. Don't you
realize I have work to do? Just kidding. On a more serious note, you've
done a great job on the site, and it's really cool to see the
interrelation with the various members of the band. My tastes run the full
gamut, from rock through r&b to electronica to dance. However, no
matter where you roam, you always come back to your first love, and there
isn't a day that goes by without just a pinch or a full course of Bob
Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. I can't wait for the new CD, and hope
for a Toronto date on the tour (full value for the money their concerts).
I even wish I could shake their hands one more time (which if the tour is
in 2000, would be twenty years since the last time). All the best to you
and to the band.

I think your website is excellent. I have a
question though...where can I find a COMPLETE list of Seger's CD's?? My
sister lives out of town and every so often we pick an artist and buy
eachother all the cd's available. I live in MI and it's so hard to find
them....the "Seger" section is always empty...he rocks!! If you can help
I'd greatly appreciate it!!

Great site!
Bob is near and dear to our family's hearts, not
only are we big fans, my wife (Ann) is related to him! My Wife's Dad's
Niece is Bob's Mother-in-law, Juanita, and she was over to our house for
dinner this week while she was in the Washington DC area. We love hearing
the stories of Bob as told through her! During his 96 tour we were lucky
enough to meet up with him, Nita and the band after his DC show. Even had
some photo Ops!
As most fans, we are waiting for any tour
announcements....Juanita thinks it will happen, just not sure when!
Take care and keep up the great site!

I really like your website. It's obvious that
you've spend a lot of time and effort on perfecting it. The one thing that
I didn't find, however, were song lyrics. I'm sure you get these kind of
emails all the time but I've looked up and down the Net in search of
lyrics to BS&SBB songs and I can't find any. If it's not too much of a
problem, would you mind letting me know if there is such a site that
includes lyrics? I would greatly appreciate it. If not, thank you for your
time and keep up the good work on your website. It's nice to see that you
update it frequently. I've visited sites that haven't been updated in
years!

Dear Kevin,
I know that the chances are slim and none, but I
would love to see Bob and the Band come to Roanoke, VA. Bob has been my
FAVORITE since the first time I heard his music. I won't say how many
years ago that was!
I have never had a chance to see one of the
concerts. IF you have a chance to talk with "THE MAN", ask him to please
come to Roanoke. I think he has been here before and it sure would be
wonderful if he could pass this way again.
The greatest thing I can imagine would be to hear
Bob singing "Turn The Page". Just Bob, without all the clutter of
instruments, microphones and a crowd. I can see him sitting on a dock, fog
rolling in and he's just singing to himself. (Would make a beautiful
video.)
Well, enough wishful thinking. Take care and keep
up the good work. I keep up to date on your site, it's always
interesting!

Hey Kevin -
Just thought I'd pass along that I think you've got
a great site here. Very informative and current. Thanks for your hard
work.
My husband, Bob & I are Big fans of Seger. When
I was pregnant with our first child we agreed that after narrowing the
list of names that if it was a boy, my husband would get the final name
choice and if it was a girl the choice would be mine. Cole is a little
over a year now and the apple of our eye.
Thanks again - bjcgoodwn

Dear Kevin,
I've been checkin' out some sites about "BOB", and
am really surprised at some of the stuff on them! One site says that SOME
DUFFUS named Butch Willis, compares himself with Bob Seger. I hate to
"burst his bubble" but, THERE IS NO ONE LIKE BOB SEGER!!!!!! This guy is
out of his gourd. Just wanted to let you know that you have the best site
I've found. It's really good.
Thanks, Holly

This is ONE GREAT SITE!! For us Segerphiles, we
THANK YOU! I have never traveled to see Bob, but have never missed any
appearance when he is here in Detroit. I grew up with this man and wish he
would tour more often. I have spoken to him once or twice, my husband and
I share the same marina in St. Clair Shores, MI. It's like a small
reprieve from Seger Withdrawal whenever we can catch a glimpse or a short
Hello!
Thanks Again, keep us updated!!!

Kevin, I love the site. I am also a long time Seger
fan. Can't wait for a new album. I also enjoy Scott's Seger File. It's
nice to know that you do not have to rely on commercial outlets for the
latest on Bob.
Also, can you offer any suggestions on how I might
get a copy of the video Like A Rock. I have a partial which was captured
from VH1. I'd love to get a real good full copy. The video was awesome. If
you are about 50 years old (as I am) and you ever owned a 60 ish vette you
can not help but love that video. I would really appreciate the info. Keep
up the good work.
2/16/99 8:19 am
Hello,
You wouldn't happen to have an outlet for "Noah",
"Back in '72", or "Brand New Morning" would you. I have been trying to
find copies of these for a number of years now, to no avail... I hate the
thought of bootleg copies but if these are no longer available, it may be
the only way.
Thanks in advance,

~ Kevin,
I just wanted to let you know that I thought your
web page was the best I have seen. It was full of things that I was
searching for; i.e. where to find some of the old vinal recordings.
I have been a devout Segar fan since an early age,
sitting on my front porch step, as a child, and hummin the tunes. Ever
since then his music has always struck a cord with me. I missed the chance
to see him in 96, and have since thought that the opportunity of seeing
him live again would never be realized. I have no neat story to tell, like
those on your web page, I'm just a huge fan and I know that this time if
he is so kind to tour with this upcoming album, there is no distance I
won't travel, no expense I won't pay, to see him live!!!
So I am asking please, with all earnist, to keep
your ear to any news of an upcoming tour, and to post whatever credible
info you may find, on your site, as soon as you can. I understand how much
time it takes, to keep a site updated, and can understand the trials and
tribulations of such a project. But I will be checking into your site
often.
Thanks so much for offering such credible info, for
us Segarfiles. Keep it coming!

Unofficial Bob Seger web page. It was Great! I've been a Hugh Fan forever.
Been to many concerts. I even had the good fortune to meet Bob and Alto
once by chance. They stopped by local night club to see a friend of theres
that was performing and I just happened to be there. I got there
autograph. Big Thrill! Anyway, thank you for all of your hard work! I
really appreciate it.

Wow. I always liked Bob Seger, but there's a lot of
his songs I didn't know. I thought I could just look at the all of the
song titles and know which one I wanted, but it's not that easy. I was
watching One Life to Live (yes, a soap opera) and a Bob Seger song came
on. I have never heard it before, but just one note and you know it was
him. Would you by chance know which one it was. I've tried everywhere to
find out. It was on the 1/18/99 show. Thanks.
1/23/99 9:47 am
Kevin,
Hi, I just wanted you to know that your site looks
great. And that I felt that adding a Chris' page was pure class, I had the
pleasure of meeting him and the band in Denver in 1981 or 2 maybe 83 I
forget now but they all treated me like I was a long lost cousin. Chris
even knew my name when I walked up to him at the stage doors, talk about a
rush. keep up the good work. Thanks for your time.

Enjoyed your website! I've been a Seger fan for a
loooooong time! I'm44yrs. old, so I even had a chance to see the system
years ago at Mount Holly on a night of a terrible snow storm, so there
were only about 150 people in the audience. Bob came out, looked at the
smalll crowd and said, "well - there aren't many of us here, but we're
going to have a good time" --- and then he rocked as if there were a crowd
of 25,000! I noticed on "Brand New Morning" and "Noah" that you don't have
the song listings. I have the original albums of both, so if you need the
info from them, let me know. I also have a couple photo's (now on slides)
of the system at the last show they did at "Sherwood Forest" in Davison,
MI. It was with the three members except Bob. Bob came back stage with
"Peter C. Cavanaugh from the radio station to get paid for the night. The
band asked Bob if he would like to get in "one last photo". Bob looked
over and rather coldly replied--"when I walked off that stage, it was the
END of the Bob Seger System" and then walked away. We said hey, who needs
him anyway and got a photo of the rest of the band. Keep up the good work!
I'm using my sister's set-up. My name is "Hall", that's the first name, in
case you would like any thing I can help you with. I also have a "bootleg"
album with all his vintage stuff. East side story, Ballad of Yellow Beret,
Sock it to me santa, Florida Time and all the rest from that time.
Take care,
Hall
12/30/98 4:23 pm
I just wanted to let you know I think your site is
really cool. I have been a Seger fan since I was about 5, (that is when I
got my first album anyway.) So I have been listening to him for almost 20
years! WOW. I hope he plans to tour soon. I would love to see him again. I
got to see him twice in 96 in Cleveland. Please let me know if you hear of
anything.
Keep up the great work on this site! I love the
pictures. Do you have any idea where I could get The Little Drummer Boy
song by Seger? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Thanks!Andrea

Kevin,
I've viewed your "Seger" web site with much
interest. I grew up in Detroit, and grew up with Seger. I must relay a
quick story of the first time I saw Seger. One of maybe 30 times.
It was at the Detroit Auto Show sometime in the
late 60's. He was playing with two other local favorites, Skip Teagarden,
and Art VanWinkle. Obviously this was when Bob was just starting out. They
were stuck over in the corner of the auto show with about 25 or 30 people
sitting around on a cement floor, not even any chairs! This was, I'm
guessing now, just prior to the release of Ramblin' Gamblin' Man.
Teagarden/VanWinkle had a local hit with "Okie from Muskogee"(sp), and
there they all were up there playing together. Just a bunch of kids.
Also note: Craig Frost had a band at that time
called "The Frost". Had a record out called "Rock and Roll Music" (?)
Well keep up the good work,

I was surfing for Bob Seger info and came upon your
website. It's great you have a lot of info here!
I can hook you up with the guitarist who played
lead on Old Time Rock & Roll. His name is Forrest McDonald, he was
known as Howie McDonald when he recorded with Bob.
Maybe Forrest has a story or two he could share
with you.
You did a find job on the site bob is the man my
fav seen him only twice but it was a memory i cherish!!!! DAMN GOOD JOB
!!!!! I THANK U AND SO DOES VA !!!!

Hi Kevin,
Just wanted to let you know I just visited your
site. I am too thrilled that Bob Seger is thinking of a new tour. I
thought it was about time. It seems every two years he comes around again.
He is the only artist I have ever seen more than once and I have seen his
last 5 tours in Memphis, TN. I am a bit worried now though. I just moved
to Vermont, and I am really curious...can you tell me if he tours this
area. I know he loves Detroit, but I am a bit far from there. Can you tell
me if he goes to Montreal on his tours??? or Maybe Mass area. If you can
give me some details as to where he generally plays in the East I would
greatly appreciate it, I just need to know where to start lokking for
tickets, shortly after January. I would just be sick if I missed this tour
because I moved...
Thanks a bunch!!!!Take care and keep up the great
work!!!
Patti G.
Hi Patti,
Bob does hit New England and
would play the Fleet Center in Boston should he
tour. The last tour he
played the Fleet Center in February, then came back and played Great Woods
(Mansfeild MA) in May. I live just north of Boston so I know this from
experience (went to both shows). He also plays the Civic Center in
Providence RI but that would be a bit of a ride from Vermont. Anyway,
welcome to New England and thanks for the note. Keep an eye on the page, I
will note any upcoming tour right on the top page the second I hear of
it.
Kevin
Thank you Kevin....Your a doll!!!!
I suppose he doesn't do tours in Canada huh? Well
if Mass is where I have
to go then so be it.....I wouldn't miss this show
for anything....His Mystery Tour was fabulous!!!!I can honestly say of all
the artists I have seen Live...he is the BEST!!!! Memphis always sold out
in 30 minutes or less and generally he had to announce another show for
the following night. Last time though, he played "The Pyramid" and that
held a lot more people and he only did one show there. I had connections
for that show and was able to get great seats without camping out in front
of the ticket hub. All the prior shows though I had to camp out, that
isn't something I would do for ANY other artist....My fiancé and I went to
the KISS concert (his favorite band), in Montreal, Canada last Tuesday
night. He promised me that if I went to see KISS with him, he would go see
Bob Seger with me. I can't wait to show him who the REAL boss of MUSIC
really is..*grin.
Thank you Kevin again for the info....your
terrific!! Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing the coming
tour announcement.

Hey Kevin,
My name is Shawn, im 22, and an avid fan of Bob
Seger since I was growing up. He was my Fathers favorite band. (he passed
away when I was 15) Bob Seger has always been a source of great music, and
many of his songs have a lot of meaning for me. I thought I would never
get to see him in concert, but I was able to a few years ago in his last
tour, and his stop in Minnesota. I may even play "Always in My Heart" as
the first dance at my wedding coming in august. Just wanted to say great
site, and good work!
Sincerely,

Hi Kevin,
I have a question I hope you can help me with. I've
been searching for early Seger albums prior to "Beautiful Loser" and l am
having a tough time finding them. Any ideas? I'm especially interested in
picking up "Back in '72" I've heard rumors that Bob doesn't want to
release them on CD because he didn't like how he sounded back then.
Also on the subject on Seger music, have you heard
any plans about any box set on the horizon? He's one of the few major
artists who has left a major portion of his early work unavaible to us
huge fans.
Any help you can provide would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark Stevens

hey man cool site!
just dropping you a line to let you know somthing
interesting. My fave tune by Bob is "Night Moves" it goes back to messing
around with this girl who was older then me and we were sneaking around
when i was just an impressionable early teen. anyway she told me that
"Night Moves" was MY song! for whatever reason, but it reminds me of my
youth. I'm ony 27 now but I was 14 at the time and very hard! anyway years
go by........we are good friends she's married with daughter and i'm a
Musician in Toronto doing fairly well, Well my drummer is a guy named Ben
Riley, if you know as much as i think you do i don't have to tell you that
"Night Moves" was recorded in Toronto and Doug Riley played the organ and
Piano on that track! Bens Dad! cool huh? doug told me one night that when
they were recording that track,Doug suggested bringing it down to almost
nothing in the bridge " I woke last night to the sound of thunder"... and
Bob loved the idea, and it worked wonderfully. Who would have thought that
when i was practicin the night moves I would be associated with this
man?Anyway......hope i didn't bore you too badly (lol)
p.s. what 1962 song do you think he was
humming?

> Kevin,
Just wanted to tell ya how much I enjoyed your
site! Keep up the good work. I have a quick story to tell you, and then a
couple of questions, if i may? The story is that I seen Bob for the first
time at the old Keil Auditorium in St Louis, but can't remember the exact
date. But i do know this!! it was long enough ago that he "OPENED" for
Kiss!!! *L* But it was a great concert they really rocked. It was in the
middle to late70's I think..One of the questions I was going to ask was, I
would really like to know the date of that concert? Any ideas how to get
it? And second the keyboard player now Craig Frost. Same Craig Frost that
jammed with Grand Funk and was on their "Caught in the Act" live
album??
Also my favorite album is Night Moves..I think it
is one of the best recorded rock&roll albums ever!! I have been a
musician myself since 74 and I do know good and great music when I hear
it!! Night Moves to me is one of the greatest ever!! Well just my thoughts
and questions..again great page!!
Cheers,
Ted Hamilton
Ted,
Yes, Craig played with Grand Funk for some years.
Regarding the concert date,
I don't have that info but Scott Sparling may. His
"Seger Files" site can be acessed from the link on my top page. The Kiss
tour is what helped Bob get started.
Kevin
Great page. I've been a big Seger fan for over 10
years, collecting every album I can find. I've got a great old Rolling
Stone issue from 1980 featuring Bob on the cover. Would very much like to
meet him someday.
Keep up the good work.

Kevin,
Hi,
I just found your site...and it is really great!
Alot of time has gone into putting it all
together. You have done a super job! I just
"happened" to find Alto's site by checking Keyword:altoreed.com I'd tried
many times before, but never came up with anything. I was shocked to see a
page come up AND to find he'd recorded some of his own music. Do you know
how long his site has been up? Anyway, I found your site off of his. Saved
it in my favorite places...as I did the Seger files by Scott. (It's gona
take awhile to read it all, but I LOVE IT!) I'm a huge Seger fan and am
glad to see he's recording something new for us!
Blessings,
Elicia

Thanks for
the support for the Jazz Poll.
Your site
looks great! Keep it up!
Also,
please use www.altoreed.com as the link to my site. The Harmonie
Park
address
from the album takes you to an older original site that has not
been
updated.
I'm going to try and correct this problem......anyway, the
altoreed.com address is the one to use.
Thanks
mucho......I will update you with any news on the band and or
myself.
