Any Bob Seger Fans

[flash]

We just got home from the Bob Seger and The Siver Bullet Band with J Giles opening for them .What a great show ,especially Seger at almost 70 years old . They put on a great show to a sold out crowd .

Sounds like a good time.

One my favorites, he lives not far from us here in Michigan, I remember seeing him when I was 16 when he sung in bars around here.

Him and Kid Rock do a lot of cool things around here in Mid Michigan.

One of my favorites too. Watched him play when I was around 16 years old, at the old Sherwood Forest in Davison. A local radio station had "Wild Wednesdays", where you could get in for 6 bucks, all the people you could fit in a car.

The new music video out features a lot of "Detroit iron."

The good old days Tony, seen A lot of good bands there including Ted Nugent, Montrose, Mich Ryder....I lived in the house right next the entrance (Masters Orchards) in the late 70s off Richfield Rd just as as they were winding down the Wild Wednesday concerts.

I saw him at The Mikatam and Russell Ballroom both not far from you.

Damn Ric, I didn't know you are from Davison. The Russelleville Ballroom was torn down a few years back. That place had some of the greats from the 40's through the 60's bands play there. I can still hear, see, and smell the place. Oh yeah, the Mikatam! 20 for the price of one!!! Spent many a night in there chasin women. Most were easy to catch too!!!

I'm actually from Clio but after high school moved to Davidson, lived off Richfied rd with a roommate that also worked at Buick, then Windsor place apartments then bought my first house on Flint Street in 1981. I also worked at the Mikatam as a doorman when I was laid off from Buick in the early 80s when you could get 20 for 1 on mixed drinks. Orders were from the owner (Tom Jobran) if they walked through the door they were old enough. As for women...you are correct, and I have fond memories.

It was 1972 when we got into the Mikatam to see Bob Segar before he made it big.

[flash]

He talked a little bit about his bar times before he hit it big .

He talked a little bit about his bar times before he hit it big .

He worked hard to get where he is today vs some of the new artists of today and has a very loyal following. I seen him last year in concert at the Palace, seen a lot of people my age but also a lot of 30 something's as well.

[Hank70SS]

I saw him in 69 or 70, he actually played for a dance in our high school gym.

[Ken Hayes]

I lived right down the street from his drummer at one time.

When I was the manager of "The Urban Cowboy" saloon in Westland, he stopped by one night and sang a few songs.

Another night this big burly guy came in and asked me "ya got anywhere we can park a big ol bus ?? I said welllll.........so he says we're "The Charlie Daniels Band".....oh hell yes, I'll find you a place. They came in and jammed for about 2 hours.

We used to get all kinds stopping by and jam at the bar:
Claude King............"Wolverton Mountain"
Johnny Lee............."Lookin for Love in All The Wrong Places"
Foghat
David Frizzell
David Allan Coe

[flash]

I would have loved hanging out with you back then to see all those guys .I kind of thought you guys would be fans of Seger since he was from there .I have seen his show here everytime he has hit Atlanta for the last 30 years which aint really that many times as he dont tour a lot .

[Ms Grumpy]

I am jealous Ken. I grew up listening to him and have loved his music. He even put my name in one of his songs. lol

For all you Segar fans, a article from the Detroit Free Press on 50 years of making music for us fans.

Pretty good article Ric. I remember CKLW like it was yesterday. Damn, time has flown by.

I listened to him on AM radio, 8 tracks, cassettes, discs, and now on Pandora on the computer.

My buddy Ralph had a 72 BB Camaro in the mid 70's. Whenever we were in his car and "Ramblin, Gamblin Man" came on the radio, he would stop in the road and do a hell of a burnout. Just one of those things, I suppose. Life was a hell of a lot simpler back then.
