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.

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.

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.

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

A true masterpiece, a timeless classic!!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

Back when songs created images and told stories.

It’s amazing that this is live. His voice is so smooth and chill. What a legend.

I heard someone say about him that he sings every song like he may never sing again.

There’s something about that 70s Detroit sound that makes your hair stand straight up.

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".

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!!

This song is very evocative. You can really feel what it's like to be a musician!

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 ".

No matter how old I get Seger takes me back where it all started. The best music nothing compares to Seger, Skynyrd, just the old school southern rock.

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.

Great react, I always thought turn the page was that he was gonna go through same stuff different day

He is from the midwest just like me! Another artist from the midwest is John Mellencamp and both are amazing singers and makes me feel proud to be from the Midwest😊💚

Came home from army 67-70 no more hair cut's, no more shaving, had a mustache from nam 68 .Was all over the state's had hair half way down my back. Just like he say's walk in, and look at the people looking at U . But being 6' 4 inch at 230 lbs only twice did i hurt someone, So when I hear this sound my mine race's,what a great sound.

The Saxophone is absolutely haunting.

I hear that song every day on the radio and I never get tired of it

Cool reaction ! You guys might like "ROLL ME AWAY" by Bob Segar, it's another story telling type of song and shows his vocal range. The dude can sing no doubt about it !

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

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. I think this is one of the strengths of your relationship with each other. Keep up the good work that you are doing.

This song has a permanent place in my top 5 songs of all time, and Bob Seger is in my top 3 as a performer. Thank you for this reaction! More Bob!

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).

Deep lyrics, like poetry.. love this song and the vibe.

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.

This is a “all mood” song. It starts off slow and by the end it’s rocking, but no matter where in the song you come in, you can put yourself into the storyline.

The beauty of this song is it's simplicity. No crazy guitar rif or heavy drums. Just lyrics and instruments.

I'm 35 yrs old I've loved Bob Seger music since i was a teenager. Great uncles and cousins and family friends would play his music

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

This song came out in 1972. I do believe that cut was from live bullet which was a double album live performance that took place at pine knob . He is from Michigan and is musical royalty up there.

Let’s face it I am blessed! I grew up in some of the best music ever.

Live Bullet....this is one of many songs that were epic by Bob Seger from this album. Songs like "Heavy Music", show how he can get the crowd in the palm of his hands and interacting with him.

First concert I ever saw was Seger at Pine Knob. Waited in line over night for tickets. Saw him several more times and he never disappoints…great live performer

Brad, Brad, Brad, when you threw your arms back on the couch you became my dude. Bob is not my favorite artist but on a Friday night, alone, I'll put on Night Moves and travel to my destination whether it's actual or in my mind.

Bob Seger almost knocked Lex off the couch! Great reaction.

That was Seger? I thought a mule kicked her!! 😜

Also, I always love Lex’s reactions, she’s always relating the song to her personal feelings and experiences. Like this song makes me feel like I want to dance, or happy, or sad or whatever the feeling is. She really shows her emotional response to the music! I love it!!!

Not only is it an iconic song, but an amazing recording. How live should be done.

When I saw Cristopher Cross a couple of years ago I gained the memory of a night I hope I'll never forget. For him I have to Imagine that playing Sailing for the ten thousandth time was just another day.

HOLY SHIT. I've never seen Brad go full RELAX. I mean damn, he laid back and put his arm up. Bob would be happy.

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. ;)

Metallica has a nice cover of this. It would be great to watch your reaction to that one as well.

You love Bob Seger. His whole life, his whole catalog, is one story after another. There is no better storyteller than Bob Seger. Just spin the wheel, pick a song and enjoy his ear candy...

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.

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.

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

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

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.

This song is about Bob Seger singing about how much of a toll the touring has taken on his body and soul. Bob Seger was a biker and he incorporates that into this song. He sings about being jaded by the music industry and the price he pays by touring and thinking if it's worth it. You know how we all get at times in our lives thinking if what we are doing is worth doing anymore. Even if it is something we love. About taking something you love with your soul and turning it into a business ruining it for you because it becomes more of a hassle and less of a joy doing it. Bob Seger's music is like a soundtrack for my life. In every song he sings I find myself at some point in my life feeling the same way. So much of his music touches you to your core.

He is telling the story of an entertainers life on the road. When he says turn the page. That means he has traveled to another city for another concert. He is on tour. Listen to the song again you will understand it better. This song is considered one of the best songs ever written. Love you guys.

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.

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".

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.

Saw him in concert with my boyfriend Mike in 96, i wish i could go back to those days. RIP Mike Hicks, love of my life.

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.

I've never seen Brad go that chill that fast. Too cool! If you want to hear Seger at his shredding best then listen to "Sunspot Baby" because I know Lex would really dig it!

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

I saw Seger live 5 times in the 70s and 80s. The man was incredible and every show he put on was great. Used to run a 1978 Z-28 Camaro full throttle to him in the Colorado mountains with a blonde beside me!

I’ve watched probably 50 of your videos and this is the first time I’ve seen Brad sit back like that ..
