Bob Seger! (again)

I had the opportunity to see Bob Seger for a third (and last) time on his current tour. This was the 50th and final show of the tour, and it was at Cobo Arena in Detroit – the same place he recorded Live Bullet! back in 1975. This show was also recorded (and filmed).

Let me just say that he saved the best for last. This show was far better than the other two I saw. You’ve probably heard the saying (regarding an athlete), “He left everything on the field” — meaning, of course, that he gave everything he had. Well, it was clear that Seger and the band left everything on the stage. It was absolutely incredible. I have been to a lot of concerts, but I cannot recall one that was better than this.

I went by myself, and had a seat on the main floor – 22 rows from the stage. The crowd was really into it, standing, dancing and singing along for the entire 2 hour and 20 minute show. Being a good Church of Christ boy, I did not dance (as far as you know).

I have been a Bob Seger fan since the late ’70s when I bought Live Bullet! (and occasionally borrowed my sister’s copy of Beautiful Loser), but I had never seen him in concert. Saturday night’s show at Cobo Arena more than made up for that. Read a review of the show Here.

While in Detroit, I also got to go to one of my favorite restaurants.
