🎵 Bob Seger - Turn the Page REACTION

[@Milehighsnake98]

The song is literally about his early experience on the road as a musician. The lines "as we walk into the restaurant all strung out from the road, you can feel the eyes upon you...is that a woman or a man?" was the inspiration. The band stopped at a restaurant in a small town, late for food and being long-haired rockers, they were discriminated against and practically refused service. So as soon as they got back on the bus, Bob wrote this song about the experience. When his career started, long hair on men was seen as a hippie or unwelcome, a troublemaker.

[@double00spy]

Interesting how younger people don't seem to get the stuff about long hair and the response it produced in some people back in the day. I certainly remember it well.

[@frankfumai9858]

This is the greatest, most personal song ever written about being a "star" on tour with a band. Generations of "stars" have said it...not just my opinion.

Anyone who is a musician or in a band can relate to this song so easily about the grind it is being on the road going from place to place.

This song was released in '73 ~ Bob hit the Detroit music scene in '61 fronting a three-piece band called the Decibels, so it was not the beginning of his career ~ However, it was before he made a breakthrough to mainstream airplay which was '76 with his Live Bullet and Night Moves albums ~ Bob had be slugging around regionally, gigging nearly 300 nights/year out of beat up station wagons and vans for 12 years ~ He had very loyal, devoted regional fans and would play to 100 people at a dive bar one night and then to 80,000 at the Pontiac Silverdome the next night ~ He got the nickname "Road Warrior" and "Legend of Live" ~ After 12 years of slugging and not yet making the big-time, that's what this song is about ~ He did not retire until 2019 ~ I saw his show in Pittsburgh two weeks before is final farewell show in Philly ~ From '77 to 2019, I saw him live 13 times, he and the band were that damn good live ~ The man had a 60 year career, 18 studio albums, 2 of the all-time best live albums and a few compilations ~ His vault is vast and deep making for a HUGE rabbit hole to get into......

I remember being a kid in the 70's and he would throw free concerts down at Lansings riverfront, then a few hours later you would see him buying beer at Quality Dairy. Nobody even crowding him, people would see him at the store and say "Hey Bob."

The song was written in the '70's,when his career was beginning.It's not about retirement.I thing "Turn the page" is referring to life on the road.Like,on to another town,turn the page.

Good point. He's always up in it focusing

[@peterramsay4674]

I saw Bob Seger the most times live as I did with David Bowie and Rush. Three completely different bands and sounds but each one riveting to me. Bob is classic Rock all the way. He’s middle America. His raspy accents and his musical ballads and lyrical stories are many. Check out some of his other stuff as well. If you like more intimate lyrics about small town life then this is for you. And oh yeah there’s a perfectly placed saxophone completes the picture. Life on the road as a musician. There’s the fantasy and there is the reality. Hotel rooms, long trips from one venue to another. Back then he had long hair and I can confirm from having long hair how people used to react in a diner on the highway in the 60s and 70s. People said stuff about you loud enough so you could here it. It got tense sometime. You dare not get into a fight because they always had a posse who could jump in at anytime. To me this performance is impeccable. AND ITS LIVE!!! I forgot it was live because the quality of his voice and the band is so perfect you would think this a studio version except for the audience at the end. Wow!!

[@centuryrox]

Wow! I've never seen Brad lean back into the couch while listening to a song! Must've had that same chill vibe that comes with this song.

[@greg2976]

I thought the very same thing! He actually showed a little emotion with this song!

[@ronniefromOR]

Haha I thought this too.. cool

[@DrtyFck]

The lean indicated all I need to know. It was hitting a vibe, and I have felt it many times.

[@herrzimm]

This song PERFECTLY sums up what it is like to have a career that involves massive amounts of traveling. Trucking, shipping, plane pilots, military, sales, basically ANYTHING where you must take long trips that tend to "blend into each other" over time. Turn the page: Wake, shower, eat, sh*t and go through it all (yet again) for the day, eat, sleep. No real difference, nothing really makes a "day memorable", just small "moments of time" that pass without notice until later in life. Memories of no home, no real family connections, no friends to share things with..... Just the long, never-ending road and cycle of daily routines with the occasional "moment".

[@billakers6082]

Been there, done that. Eight miles a minute most of my life.

[@56kwith200ping]

Some people call that refuge from what is called a "life" today. I know people whom i see like once in 15 years and it usually in Vegas. My next door neighbor is a plot and bought a home but is never there. It was a money move.

[@randall-king]

In Brad’s scenario about retirement, it would be the end of a book or maybe a chapter. But in the song, he’s simply turning a page. Page after page. It’s the monotony of being on the road. Same old, same old. The day to day grind. Not a new chapter or new beginning. I enjoy your channels. May the Lord bless you both!

[@TracyfromNC]

Spot on!

[@bynumite76]

Bingo!

[@da_blade5040]

Hellz Yeah!! Nailed it! 💯👍🤘🙂🎸

[@randall-king]

A brilliant part of the song is the way the music mirrors what’s happening in the story that lies within the lyrics. It begins with this loud saxophone riff because he’s on stage. Then, the music turns to this beat that sounds like a tour bus lugging down the highway (“You can listen to the engine moaning out his one note song”). The bass continues throughout the song with the same monotonous notes, reflecting the lyrics. At the end of the song, the same sax riff from the beginning swells back up because he’s back on stage. His vocals also start belting out the notes near the end because, “There I am, up on the stage!” We are see him on stage briefly at the beginning, then on the road for the whole song (because that’s what the song is about), and we see him briefly on stage at the end. And, the music accurately reflects this. They also briefly give us the sax around the 3:14 mark because the lyrics reference, “the music that you play.” Well executed.

[@YerPope]

Anyone who's ever been in a band touring will tell you that it doesn't take long for the days to blend into each other, as well as the towns and clubs to the point where it all becomes a blur.

[@MS-jc9sy]

Never forget this is a LIVE recording...pure talent

[@ericdykstra4545]

Seeing Brad lean back and just have a big ol smirk tells me this is his type of song lol

[@musicalchairs777]

I used to work at a studio in LA with the keyboard player from this band who helped write the song. It was written in the back of a U-Haul before they had really made it, slugging it out in dive bars across the midwest, sleeping in the van, freezing, getting in fights over their long hair, in a time and place where it was a real issue. You can't write, sing or play music like this unless the dues are paid in full up front.

[@shaneparker5522]

Bob is a great song writer. Turn the Page is saying he is turning the page to the next day and its all the same thing when you are on the road all the time. His lyrics paint a picture that you can see with your mind's eye and feel like you were there. He has had many great hits: We've Got Tonight, Night Moves, Still the Same, Against the Wind........just to name a few. The video for Night Moves stars Courtney Cox and Matthew LeBlanc from the TV series " Friends ".

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yeeeessss, and for damn good reason-🙂

[@deandee8082]

real close Brad that's basically it according to Bob, Seger wrote this song when he was younger however in those days musicians started very young some at age 9 or 10, so by the time he had written this he had millions of miles under his feet and was finishing up his "club/bus touring" days moving onto larger venues and jet streams.. I'd venture to say he was reflecting back one day/night while on the bus traveling to the next show on the tour bus and decided to sum it all up in a song so he'd never forget that tour bus circuit grind where you play almost every night in all sorts of towns seeing all sorts of different folks.... "here I go on the road again" .. but this was about the time he did make that jump form buses to jets and larger venues where contact with fans is a lot different... one no longer has to eat with them in restaurants so forth.. lol for me its a great song, easy to sing, I love it when it just pops on the radio and i'm in that mood rollin on down the road... yup

[@rickgumm3504]

AMEN

[@kennethgoin628]

This song was from 1972, performed in 1975, very early in Bob's career. He was talking about being in the moment and the way it made him feel, but because there was little to nothing he could do about certain things, he learned to let it go...."Turn the Page"... get onto the next moment. Hopefully it'll be something better. I used to play and went a long way. The internet was so far in the background at the time that we didn't think about recording performances much. We did promos or a fan would share bootlegged video recordings, but that was it. There are numerous clips from such things on my channel. I feel this song because I've lived nearly every moment in it. I never toured on a bus, but I traveled hundreds of miles to do another show, under slept, fatigued, and just determined to put on another good show. And then, somewhere along the way, some jerk would see your long hair and start making comments about "girly men" or the like. Treat you like an idiot. Or white trash. And they don't know... they just THINK they know. We all held jobs to pay for the dream. Full time. Ran our own business and grew our product. Wrote. Recorded. Hired a crew. Started our own label. And still worked full time on an assembly line somewhere. I was a production supervisor and had 11 employees. But people... can be so stupid. it's just life in an imperfect world. Turn The Page.

[@guiness1100]

This song always reminded me of my times on the road, deployed with the military. Fly into a new country and feel everyone looking at you and a handful of your friends. Long days at work, leave exhausted and go get something to eat and drink. Go to bed and the next day... Turn the page and start all over again. Great song and a great performance by Bob Seger. Metallica did an excellent (more upbeat) cover of this song, but I prefer Seger's rendition (personally).

[@gandalf970]

@guiness1100 I feel the same way. Same thing for me in the Army, out on a field op and tired, the heat and the smell of generators.

You summed it up, I dont think that anyone can fully understand this song until you have spent time away from home. Spent a lot of time around the world away from those I loved working 7 days a week and staying busy until night comes and your left with loneliness. If you do this to long it makes you hard inside.

[@justineapril7922]

Turn the Page is my favorite Bob Seger song. As a girl who came of age in the 70s, it remains me so much of the young men of the time. The cliche of "is that a woman or a man" because of the hair style. I happen to still be fond of certain men with long hair, as long as it's kept clean and stylish. Bob Seger was a rock workhorse, constantly touring and putting out recordings. This song always has me visualizing what it must have been (or like it is) to be on the road. as a musician.

[@bastifar1]

Bob Seger was my first rock concert. I saw him at Cobo Arena in Detroit. It had to be around 1976. I remember when Bob and the Silver Bullet Band played this song vividly. Cobo Arena was a small venue. Maybe seating eight to eleven thousand people. Cobo was the home arena of the Detroit Pistons. My dad took me to many Pistons games at Cobo. I had the pleasure of seeing Bob Lanier, Dave Bing, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabbar all play basketball at Cobo, but my memories revolve around the Seger concert. The saxophone lick is still one of the most recognizable sounds in rock music. That night the stage was framed by tall speaker stacks that reached all the way up to the third tier. (Tier C as it was known.) Then all of the spotlights focused on top of the stack on stage left. Atop the stack stood saxophone player Alto Reed ripping out the familiar intro to Turn the Page. Magical night.

Hey you guys. Bob Seger the legend from Detroit. I live in Windsor across the river. I saw Bob play several times over the years. He was basically the King of the ballad and great classic rock. He is our hometown hero. His band was called the Silver Bullit band. Some bands are just really good playing live and this is one of those bands. The commercial for Ford motor company was from Bobs song “ Like a Rock.” Turn the Page is still one of my all time favourites. Cheers guys. You are a great example for the younger generation. Life has lots of challenges no matter who you are or how well off you are. But if you have a partner who sticks with you and supports you and loves you, you will find a way to endure anything that may come your way.

That is a simple song as far as chord progression etc, but Seger's voice and phrasing send it over the top. And the sax is icing on the cake. The man can sing and write a helluva song. Loved Lex's reaction to that one part near the end. And enjoyed watching Brad kick back, and soak it all in.

[@denisejudd5832]

My favorite artist of ALL TIME, this song will never be the same, his sax player passed away last yr, Best concert EVER, you need to listen to Come to papa.He is totally not done. Seen him 2 yrs ago!!! He puts on a awesome concert.

Musicians write lots of songs about life on the road, and they're usually pretty good. This one is no exception.

[@murfseye]

This song touches my soul. Bob Segar is a goat.

[@XDarkSyntaXOriginal]

It's a great song about living life on the road as a musician. Another great one from that era is by Jackson Brown called "The Loadout/ Stay" you'd probably enjoy that as well.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Love this man. Seger is one of the best! 🥰🎶🥰🎶

[@TubingSD]

I was actually at this concert. Well, one of the nights, anyway. There were two separate shows that they turned into a double album called “Live Bullet.” But I was definitely there the night that they recorded that portion of “Live Bullet” where Seger asked the crowd to “Take it easy down front here.” Ha! The group I was with jumped down, well, we dangled from a ledge and dropped, from the 2nd tier of seats to the main floor to reach the stage… Before Bob Seger got popular, right about the time Live Bullet was released, he had already released about 5 albums. We in the Detroit area couldn’t understand why he wasn’t more popular. “Turn the Page” is definitely about life as a touring musician. Seger payed a huuuuugge amount of dues before he sold 10 billion albums. But he wasn’t bitter about it. Another reason, as if I needed one, to love the guy.

[@jerryashley6918]

He probably didn't join "the Club" that others did to become famous.😉

[@kkoo3247]

10 billion albums?

[@TubingSD]

@@kkoo3247 Well, maybe 9,999,999,999.

[@Johnfreedom64]

DETROIT'S OWN.....Bob Seger, great great guy he use to come to a local restaurant called Bull frogs. He has alot of great main stream song....go down the worm hole Brad and Lex

[@tskwerl]

Bob Seger's song The Famous Final Scene helped me immensely after my Mom passed. The man's a legend. So many good songs... and Metallica covered this one, guys. ;)

[@donnasanchez63]

I'm 59. And grew up on this music. I totally love your reactions. You two get it.♥️♥️

[@bowtangey6830]

After hearing this, I had no issue with Bob Seger. He got a lifetime pass.

[@emilyflotilla931]

Growing up in SW Michigan, with a neighbor from Detroit, I was introduced to Motown. Seeger, Alice Copper, Grand Funk Railroad were soon to follow. It was required to love these bands along with Vernor's Ginger Ale to maintain citizenship in the state.

[@tasblade1]

Bob Seger is one of the best...This song is definitely one of his best of many.

[@bevil4aday]

I met Bob, back in 94 or 5. Me a few coworkers went to Weber's Inn in Ann Arbor and he happened to be there. We talked to him for a good half hour or more and he bought us a round of drinks. Super nice guy This is the live version off of the Live Bullet album. You should check out the studio version from the Back in 72 album, to me, a much better mix. Other Bon Seger tunes I would recommend; Looking Back Bo Diddley If I Were a Carpenter Mongrel Too Highway Child

[@robnorwood3591]

My sister passed away a couple years ago. She was the biggest Bob Seger fan. She took me to see him. He puts on a great show. It's a big production. It's bittersweet to hear.

[@Mauiman122]

Every time I listen to this song - it reminds me of my time in the Marines - On the stage = contact with the enemy - In the spotlight = inspections - on the road again = moving town to town or contact to contact. - love the song and also the cover by Metallica too

[@wasperminingco]

Bob Seger needs his flowers now before he's not around to get them. Dude is amazing.

[@vicprovost2561]

Nice, Bob is a timeless American Ikon, this a very famous song from his prime. For something else of his try Her Strut, Old Time Rock and Roll and Ramblin',Gamblin' Man . Also Metallica does a monster cover of Turn the Page. Check it out and ENJOY! 🎶

[@thewiseoldherper7047]

I’ve never seen Brad kick back and settle in like that! And the whole time a huge smile on his face. That’s kind of song is this though. You just let it flow over you and you just take it in. One of Bob’s best.

[@nodaysback1]

I heard that Bob Seger has been known to bring his acoustic guitar with him when he goes for a few beers to a small local country bar. That's got to be pretty amazing for the handful of people that are lucky enough to just happen to be there.. Check out "Still The Same" and "Against The Wind"

[@kkrummelrhs]

6:00 that take almost read my mind. This is the perfect track to play on a long night's drive down backeoads or just relatively lonely highways.

[@SG-js2qn]

I think Brad likes songs by storytellers. Easier to parse the lyrics. :) As for turning the page, sometimes when you turn the page it's more of the same, but time is passing. For a touring musician, it's probably like, "Detroit. Done, turn the page. Chicago. Done, turn the page. Philadelphia. Done, turn the page." Etc.

[@slainteron4027]

Exactly.

[@757optim]

Yep. The story continues.

[@ashlealabine6937]

would love to see them react to Bob Dylan. He is a story-teller extraordinaire, and a Noble Prize winning lyricist.

[@slainteron4027]

@@ashlealabine6937 that is one artist I just could not get into.

[@bobbiemotley5438]

This is my favorite song of all times, it is him telling what it's like to be on the road and it's not fun and games, with all the traveling, set up for concerts, tearing down the stage and loading the trucks up to travel to the next concert. That saxophone kills me every time, love it. I think he just recently retired. Love me some Bob Seger. ❤ He has a whole lot of great songs to rock to, you should check out some more Bob Seger!

[@OronOfMontreal]

Bob Seger's ballad, "Up On Main Street" is as beautiful and evocative as a Rock ballad can get. I recommend it for a double-bill with "Avenue A", a Red Rider song written by Tom Cochrane, one of the best songwriters of the 1980s and 90s. It's from the same album as their big hit, "Lunatic Fringe".

[@TinyFreya59]

That song actually makes me cry every time I hear it. The yearning in his voice as he sings about the “long and lovely dancer” makes me think she must’ve been a real unrequited love for the writer.

[@stevenl.halesr.6894]

It's a Calmer version of AC DC's "its A Long Way To The Top; If You Want To Rock-N-Roll"!!!

[@jadenrockprincess2116]

Brad seems to be intense but this song helped him relax more lol 😆 It's a great song for when you're stressed and gets rid of your stress for me atleast

[@phildog75]

Cigar and Whiskey, a staple.

[@rexracer3221]

This was LIVE. .. I don't even know if they even bothered releasing a studio version, because the Live version is so damn good.

[@locutus1126]

there is the studio version but it's one of those songs where the live version trumps the studio version on the radio. Same with Do You Feel Like I Do by Frampton. You only here the live version because they are so awesome.

[@donaldgilbreath4200]

Lex has it right. Truckers love this song. 2am on the road, complete darkness, out in the middle of nowhere AZ . You feel this song so much.
