Bob Seger interview - 1983 ("The Distance" tour).

[@timsears951]

I liked it when Bob said "we dont need the money anymore..we just like doing it"...gotta respect that...

[@pennycarrigan4356]

I first heard Bob Seger when I was 12 years old in 76 and he's been my favorite ever since. Nobody can make you feel music in your soul like Bob Seger can!!

[@aaronsimpson4547]

Became his biggest fan in 1974 loved him since

[@Shelley550]

Have ãlways been ã huge fan tõõ, l dont recall Bob Segar ever having a bad şong!! Ģenius ~

[@hollywoodgold8076]

We can now look back on Bob Segers' life and see not only is, he a GREAT singer, song writer, performer, but he is a man of good character. Took tens years off to raise his children. Not many rock stars put family first like that. Then comes back and performs like a champ until 74. Wow...just wow. I say thank you Mr. Seger, you've been a wonderful, memorable part of the sound track of my life, and an inspiration as a Man. Well done, sir. Well done.

[@paulparker3803]

I have admired him and his career ever since I stood 5 feet from him as he performed at a local VFW hall for about 30 people. His music, his life, his devotion to his family all stand far above the mass of so-called entertainers we have today. A truly humble and inspirational credit to the industry.

[@cjbeetham9197]

I'm your biggest fan ever Bob I've never seen your shows wish I could have but like you middle class u gotta put the money elsewhere I know that I've lost the chance of a lifetime to watch a Rock Legend perform but that's ok I've still got the memory of hearing you play cobo wasn't there but I was outside the hall and heard Turn The Page if I ever meet in real life that would be fine by me wouldn't be the same with Alto not their by ur side so I'll say to ya if you read this Merry Christmas Bob Segar from ur # 1 fan CJ

[@eleot]

A likable rock star who has altered the lives of millions of people for the better. His music makes you really want to lead a cool, exciting and thoughtful life altogether.

[@The_Real_Indiana_Joe]

Bob Seger's success will never go away. He's a legend!

[@gwenbuber6411]

Bob Seger, You are an American Icon!

[@darleneswire9419]

Feel in love with him in 10th grade when he played in my high school gym ! Became an instant "groupie" and followed him all over the Detroit suburbs ! Still love him and have been to many concerts. Still love "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" by Bob Seger System. Probably my all time favorite album ! He is just a great talent .

[@jt6563]

Damn, you were sooo lucky to have had him at your High School. this doesn't happen anymore.

[@pamlovejoy4358]

BOB SEGER ! Is and always will be my favorite rocker. I feel in love with him amd his music in the 70's. He is THE BEST.

[@angelapond7823]

[@marymoss2500]

[@wandamateo1752]

Love him. Have been to 7 concerts last one two years ago. Loved Alto also and I’m so happy I got to see his last concert before he died this year. Bob Seger has done it all. Great artist. Splendid musician. Bob Seger is rock and roll. RIP Alto Reed. Love my boys 🌺♥️🌺

[@melodyfisher1512]

I love Bob Seger...listen to him almost every day❤️

[@davidherringgo]

Excellent interview I had no idea Bob is that smart , what a legend , just sorry I didn't see while I lived in Ohio.

[@tinadavidson3177]

All I can say is Bob Seger is Awesome. He's the absolute best ( my favorite singer of all time ).He's a very humble and true true to himself and his music kind of man.💯❤

[@officialbobseger39]

Thanks for your comments and love towards me, hope you won’t stop someday?

[@Munchee64]

He's always been a humble man with his star status. He loves what he & the band are doing. As long as his fans want to hear them, he'll play his very best!

[@afftongrown6445]

He always appears to give it his best.

[@motorcitymanman7711]

He just wasn't that humble when it came to recording.....he used the Southern "Muscle Shoals" session muscians instead of The Silver Bullet Band, they didn't like that.

[@groovee63]

Very humble person.....notice when he talks about performing , he uses the the word "we" instead "I"

[@MikeCoggan]

I read that he paid the band equal shares for live performances - same as him! The only income that he takes exclusively is songwriting. I have seen him every tour since 1980 - he and the band always look like they enjoy what they are doing and there is no place they would rather be.

[@williamboney7371]

A truly great musical GENIUS.

[@williamboney7371]

So level headed and down to earth,not like most crazy rock stars,this guy has got his head screwed on.

[@denisehedden13]

🥀Bob Seger is an Amazing singer song writer with talents beyond many other in the music industry! I love every song he's ever brought out🥀☝️🥀

[@davidlucas6189]

I Love this guy. he has been a big influence on how I Play, he is Wholesome

[@dkshotwell]

Saw the second show of a three night stand in Denver in '86, wow, what a night, Seger was amazing. Great memory.

[@michaelcorkery7108]

I've been to many concerts, but I never got to see Bob Seger.

[@paulparker3803]

Seen him multiple times growing up in the Detroit area. Always a great show. Took my two step-sons to a Seger show at Cobo Hall for their first concert in 1980.

[@chandraluzar3279]

i love his music

[@denisehedden5108]

🖤🥀Amazing interview with Bob Seger. I love all of his song's its a interesting information about his song's. Thank you for sharing your life n love in the music industry BOB Seger🥀🖤✌☝️

[@blenk9607]

And to think in 2019 he can lay down a 2 hr show hit after hit. Crowd singing along . Great show in Buffalo

[@googoos4you]

I saw him in Tulsa and was worn out when the show was over. I was 2 rows from the stage.

[@tinadavidson3177]

[@douglaskirbyl4684]

[@MAGAMANPATRIOT]

Way back when I was kicked back in bed listening to a really good station we could get in Atlanta then. No commercials on what later became 96 rock , the DJ said I'm gonna play a few songs by this dude that is huge in some places. Damn he spun some killer rock and roll songs..then he said the guy is playing in Atlanta soon then he predicted after the Atlanta shows him and his band will be huge nation wide you gotta go hear em. Hell I went to see em , Agora or Alex Cooleys can't remember the name of the place at that time. Bob and Silver Bullet Band kicked ass. A few days afterward they were rocketing the top of the charts. The DJ was right on..

[@neilouellette3004]

Saw Seger on this tour for the 1st time. The Distance Tour 1983 Providence Civic Center.

[@juanitamelton9264]

Let’s not hear about girl friends let’s hear about you ❤love you baby

[@jacobhamm797]

I have always loved bob seger and the silver bullet he came from the poor side of life and didn't forget it he is a genuine man and could really write some music

[@Nycholas17]

Bob the Rock.

[@seger27]

He still says has the same values to day as he did then!

[@officialbobseger39]

I appreciate your love towards my music hope you don’t stop liking my aspirations.

[@officialbobseger39]

Thank you for liking my aspirations and being one of my biggest fan, hope you don’t stop someday

[@arhuxtable]

Seger would not intentionally discredit his bandmates in any way. However,when he talks about songs,he says "I" a lot because a lot of those songs he wrote all by himself.

[@peggyannchilders3613]

Bob seger, rolling stones, and Elton john concert- would be s dream come true/to attend!!!!!

[@bookofrevelation4924]

Summer of 1983 after just moving from Detroit to Houston for work, I got front row seats to 2nd show at Houston Summit and was screaming my head off yelling "yah Detroit rocks" often, having a great time in front of speakers and Bob Seger pointed at me and said looks like Detroit is represented here tonight. Have great memories as teen going to many Seger concerts at Pine Knob since summer I turned age 14 in 1977.

[@denisesnyder6241]

Who would think that 40 something years later people would still love to see him play if he was still touring!

[@jeantownsend2048]

I was there, still have the tee shirt.

[@jmburde656]

Awesome man

[@motorcitymanman7711]

Better than Springsteen

[@pennycarrigan4356]

Everyday of the week!! I heard a reporter say people confuse them because they sound alike, I was like what!! NOT even close, Bob has a smooth soulful voice that makes you feel the music, where Springsteen sounds like he's screaming his vocals and is in pain!!

[@jerryparks6123]

I agree, although he and Springsteen had a Concert in my hometown, 2 miles from where I grew up a little town called Highland Michigan, 40 miles West of Detroit , 20 miles West of Pontiac! .I don't know about Shame on the Moon, but Shame on me! ,I missed the Concert! .

[@BB-mn1ew]

Buffalo born and raised girl. My Dad listened to Seger. I know Western New Yorkers love this man. At the bars, people would 4:28 yell at cover bands play some Seger! I definitely prefer Seger over Springsteen.

[@ClaudiaMitchell-jn7fw]

🍃❣️🍃What a “Doll~Baby ! 🍃❣️🍃

[@scottclute9547]

Remember Woodward Avenue!!!!

[@ClaudiaMitchell-jn7fw]

Oh Yeah ! 🍃❣️🍃

[@gz9520]

SEGER ROCKS !!

[@motorcitymanman7711]

Bob never went to Europe.....don't know why? He has a lot of fans there.

[@BobSeger1981]

What TV show was this? A morning show?

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

RIP JJ Jackson original MTV Veejay

[@arhuxtable]

Him and the late legendary Michael Jackson both.

[@snowman374th]

That's a good point. Without the band he's just Bob. And he sounds great don't get me wrong. But it is the group that makes the music better. Back when I was lead singer in a band, I told them plenty of times after they patted me on the back, that it was them who made me sound better. I wished love hadn't screwed me up so bad, and they could have been more supportive. We'd be on the radio today. We learn the hard way. And Bob had some hard times I'm sure.

[@LaurieLaSalle26]

Bob Seger loves his band, they are like family to him. Other than his covers he has written all of his songs since conception of Silver Bullet Band. He does credit his band at every show. He recently said he is still doing tours because his band is tight, they need no direction, they just know what to do. You must remember that Bob Seger recorded most of his music in studio with Muscle Shoals, his band is for his tours. He has used a few of them on studio albums, of course they are on Live Bullet and Nine Tonight, Night Moves and Some of Against The Wind. Silver Bullet is the driving force behind his tours without question, he has some of the best players on the planet...

[@motorcitymanman7711]

What band were u in??

[@jerryparks6123]

Your entitled to your opinion, but his Voice is very Distinct! He knew what he was doing when he Hired Band members for Silver Bullet to Accent his Voice!

I'll tell you this: Bob Seger,other than he had long spaghetti-style hair once like Axl Rose,aren't much alike. Although he possibly has that capability,Seger is no trashmouth like Axl. lol

[@afftongrown6445]

Andy Roman At least, not in front of the public.Lol.

[@arhuxtable]

Long,straight hair halfway down the back,that's what I meant by "spaghetti style".

[@patrickjackson3947]

No

[@RetroSoulGirl]

Omg his beard is so long what happened Bob LOL

[@xennial80sxberner]

Mr.Sickboy Yeah, seems like he had a hipster beard around this era.

[@RetroSoulGirl]

LOL I like it much shorter... no hipster Bob for me.

[@xennial80sxberner]

Seems like he trimmed it way shorter by the early 90s, and lol, I agree!

[@danejurus69]

Mick Foley or Bob Seger? You be the judge! 😋
