Have no idea how I missed this. He passed about four months ago. Straight up Midwest legend. Had so many classics, but my fav is this.....
RIP Bob Seger
- Thread starter Laner2
- Start date
He's not dead, so I guess you can breathe a sigh of relief.
Is he on the road again....?
My first concert in the early 70's was Foghat with Seger opening for them.
He crushed it and was way better than Foghat.

Damn, used to listen to him on long and lonesome highways east of Omaha. Loved his music. RIP Bob.
"I used her and she used me"....love that line, wish it was me when I was 17 haha..
Trivia.
Anyone know of a song in which he mentions/ describes Nebraska? ( a favorite but not mentioned below)
East of Omaha should replace Iowa on all maps going forward.
So basically, per the alive Bob Seger, that state to the East is long and lonesome. The man toured it, lived it, and he knows.
My favorites:
Her Strut
Shame On The Moon
Fire Lake
The Fire Down Below
Katmandu
Mainstreet
Turn The Page
Black Night (Not one of the most popular but witty lyrics and catchy tune.)
Least favorites eminate from the 80's era labels urging to produce and promote radio hits that were created to appeal to wide audiences. It changed the face of rock to just downright awfulness.

Glad to hear he’s alive and strong, like a rock
Sounds like he dodged a silver bullet and isn’t battling the fire down below

lol this thread, love the song “Ramblin Gambling Man” by him.
I think he's still alive and will do a farewell tour in 2024.
I love farewell tours. I'd like to be a part of one someday.
“I haven’t been touring for a long time and it’s been a painful decision whether to go back on the road ... but I’ve made a decision and this is the last show I’m gonna do.”
Elton John, 1977!!
Tickets for his current show sets are still available. The Promotional Schister Tour.
But be sure and order yours today, it may be your last chance.

Definitely one of my favorite Seger songs. Always brings back memories of growing up in rural Nebraska.
