Bob Seger is 78. Just being alive is amazing for these rockers.

Nahh... Not taking anything else into concideration the average lifeexpectency of an US male is 77.xx years. He likely have had his fair share of drugs, even if he isn't really known for it, it was common back in the days. That said, he is a middle class child and have been well of for more or less his whole life. That is, he have had regular medical care, decent food, etc. He also have an occupation that doesn't wear you down (short of doing drugs) in anyway close to say carpenters, handy men, nurses, assistant nurses, . Not saying that being on a stage isn't hard work(really depends on the artist). But they aint on the stage 40 hours a week for 40+ years. Its not suprising that he lives to be 80+ and it wouldn't been supricing if he had died at 65. Mick Jagger is far more supricing, given the amount of drugs they did in 60s/70s or that Lemmy got to be 70 with his substance abuse.

He had a cold here... I saw him 26 times on his last tour which was way after this and his voice was a world of a difference stronger.

My favorite artist no matter the age! I'm in my 60s but when I hear a Bob Seger song I'm a teenager again.

Thank you for the interesting insight into the ageing male voice and this performance was a true exemplar of the process. As an ageing singer myself, I am constantly frustrated by my fading instrument. How much more must a former powerhouse like Seger feel it. In this song the fading vocal capabilities add a certain poignancy to accompany and even somehow enhance the world weary lyric, but I am not sure that much of the rest of his majestic back catalogue would fare so well. I can only imagine how someone who has been truly great might wish to continue forever doing what they love, but, at some stage they must beware of damaging their legacy. Seger has now retired before he reached that point. Thanks for the memories, Bob - up on the stage, you didn't need to play the star, your shining was visible to all.

Bob Segers the stuff. Turned on to him by older people. A great musician. Means alot to many older people.

I do love his older live version but still impressive with the age and mileage factor

Thank you! I thought that was him but wasn’t sure.

Absolute favorite classic rock artist! Bob seger. I haven't heard one bad song. His catalog is one of the best of all time

Bobs voice is stronger than this 2004 performance at the RHOF. Saw him on the final tour and he sounded great. Thx for the explanations on understanding the voice sounds etc. Keep digging into this man's catalog of hits.

Your respect of Bob’s longevity make you a treasure! Thanks for explaining what happens to older male voices. Personally as a 61 year old only singing in a band for the first time about 5 years ago, I hope I have a little more time with my high notes

I remember seeing Seger while in college in the early 80s. A great concert. Turn The Page was one of my favorites at the time and still his.

Getting older sucks but is also a interesting journey and story of vulnerablity, quality and wisdom!! Quality always shines!

I never saw Bob live but from this video it would have been amazing. The atmosphere looks epic.

Yup atmosphere. Didn't know it was there.

I couldn't have got a better explanation than at a Dr's office from a nurse! Wow!

First time I heard this song it was the Metallica cover (which I love) but then listened to the original recording. Always loved the imagery this song creates in the mind

Went out with a lass from Detroit. Damn I listened to a lot of Bob Seger. Didn't mind, I like me a bit of Bob. She spent 12 months banging around Australia with me and I went over to the USA with her so she could show me her country. We went and saw Bob Seger in Detroit, it's her home town, she just breezed in, she knew so many people, she was definitely at home. I'd heard a lot of stories about how tough a town Detroit was, which well may be true, but that night everyone was there to rock on with Bob. When he performed " Main Street," you could pick all the locals, the atmosphere was damn near reverential. Great lass, great night and Bob Seger always has a place in my heart. Great show, all 3 hrs. of it.

Maybe instead of criticizing, and trying to break down the way a LEGEND is performing.....try to just enjoy him...treasure him...........love him, like the rest of us do. Absolute living legend.

I have loved this song for decades and it taught me a very important vocal lesson. I was playing it at some coffee house gigs back in the late '90s. At the time, I wasn't at all confident about my head voice. So, in an effort to avoid that high last chorus, I sang it an octave down from where Bob Seger sang it originally. I don't know why I didn't jus transpose it down a few keys. I probably didn't want to have to learn a new set of chords. Unfortunately, this required me to stretch my voice down to a D2, a step below where I was comfortable then. I ended up with a sore throat for about a month and haven't ben able to get below F#2 ever since. I try not to go below G2, just to be safe. Now that I understand more about vocal anatomy (thanks to this channel), I see why stretching your voice down is a bad idea. I just wish I knew back then.

AlwYs one of my favorites. I’ve seen him several times over the years from the ‘70s to now.

We saw Bob live 3-4 years ago. He would start the high notes and Alto would pick up and finish them out on the sax. Love the Reaction

Still gives me chills!

Night moves....all time great song. If you haven't listened to the rest of his stuff yet Miss Beth...please do yourself a favor.

He is ageless Tone quality his depth of range not as much range but the timeless vocal rendition of Bob Seeger is very much present. Well Beth another fine delivery of puritanical design. Thank you my dear.

Love this song

Saw him in '89 because a friend's sister had tickets but couldn't attend so we went. I'd had the Live Bullet album in HS, ('80-'84), and he had so many radio hits. I was more a Metal/Hard Rocker, but that Seger show was one of the greatest shows I'd ever seen. The version of this song on Live Bullet is really great. On this one you can really hear the age in his voice.

He is like most of us from the 60s we were smoking and drinking! I wasn't a Rock Star but was in college back then, and that's what we DID!!!

Bob Seger was also a heavy smoker. Curious about the direct impacts on his singing voice, especially over the decades...

Beautiful cover, Gorgeous Beth

I played saxophones in a rock band in the 1990's. My twin brother played, and still does, drums with hundreds of guys in different bands over the years. One of the guys he played with had been on tour with Bob Seger in his early years. And of course one of the songs that my band did was Turn The Page.

He has defiantly used his vocal chords more that we can imagine and he is struggling here and still unique . I like his unpopular Back in 1972 album version the best and the live 1975 live album cut

fortunate to see him live…powerful

Got to see him do this concert at the Gardens in Boston ! Bob will always be the man in my book !

WOW I am so happy to see Bob Seger on here!! Such a great singer and would love to see someone react to Accompany Me by him, so good!!

He was interviewed recently by Adam Reader "The Professor of Rock", the part about not making a stand was that he wished a few of his roadies with him. Things would have been very different.

You were very kind here. I thou ght he sounded pretty weak, maybe sick. I'm 72 and saw him perform several times in my teen years. He was GREAT!

This recording was done when Bob was doing performances to exercise his voice before going on an pending tour. His first in over ten years. a tour I got to see. He also sang with Jason aldean at this time to prepare his voice something he can only really do by really performing. Here is an amateur recording of him live on his last tour in 2019. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aqOHy496pNSdpM4.htmlsi=_XgmszgpBQT5EFXY

No tenía conocimiento de este gran cantante me gustó la canción indagare su trabajo bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀

This Version of Bob Segers turn the page was at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when he and the Silver Bullet Band were Inducted! Back in 2004 , He did sound Sick ! He was 59 years old there , he was Born in 1945 ! Him and the Silver Bullet Band had Concert tours till 2019 ! They retired after Alto Reed passed away! You dont Realize his Voice sounds much better than that singing at concerts 15 years after that one ! .

One of my all time favorites artists. Not my favorite song but anything Seger works. Hear he's touring this year..gotta go! Btw..my voice got higher. I lost my lower register when I hit my sixties.

I think, as with any aging great rocker, their voice may change, but the feelings are still there. Listening to this version of the song is, to me, more emotional and far better than the studio version. This is why I would spend ten times the money to see someone like Bob, than I would the swiffer.

If you grew up in Australia (like I did) you would have known this as a song that was covered by Jon English, and it was awesome.

70s kid 🙃👎

My mom was in her late 70s when she had to call the police (not an emergency), she later met with the office she'd talked to on the phone. His comment was he'd really thought she was in her 40's based on her voice over the phone.

Beautiful explanation of voice.

You need to listen to the version from Live Bullet hos double live album. That is the version that is played on the radio.

As a guy who's been gigging on and off since the '60's, I can attest to the importance of taking care of your hearing. We all knew about tinnitus and hearing loss back then, we really did. We, also, knew how to avoid it. Speaking for myself, I just didn't take those precautions. Louder the better was the motto, especially in the '70's. When you're young, you think you're indestructible. Throw in 43 years of broadcasting and playing headphones too loudly, and I'm paying a price. My tinnitus is not to the level of Seger's, however I do experience constant ringing. I'm lucky in that I still hear some high frequencies but, I have no doubt my hearing isn't what it used to be. Don't be stupid...like I was! BTW, I STILL don't use 'in-ears'. I do, however wear earplugs ALL THE TIME while performing...at any volume.

This is good old rock songs

I developed tinnitus when I was 8-9 yrs old. Not sure if it was environmental (working around power equipment) or that I was always going to get it. Some days it's possible to suppress/ignore it, others I literally can't hear myself think. Musicians from the 70s and 80s especially are prone to developing it, even with hearing protection onstage, to the point they can't maintain pitch because they just can't hear it correctly. Turn the Page is one of my favorites, along with Her Strut.

I enjoy your reactions very much, I recently went back to some of your older reactions and loved your reactions to Heart. I have a suggestion for you to react to a band called First to Eleven. Maybe the song "So Am I". This band has a lot of covers uploaded on KZread, over 350, of various music genres. Some acoustic songs, some country songs made into rock. When they do a cover, many times they change them to make them their own. Some of their covers have over 8 to 10 million views. They are a cover band from Erie Pennsylvania but three of them are also in a Band called Concrete Castles. The lead vocalist in both bands is a young woman named Audra Miller. They do a song called "So Addicted" that you may find interesting.

G'day Beth, I & I think the other Aussies here would love you to compare Jon English's cover & also comment on some of his other songs like Hollywood 7, Six Ribbons, She was Real... 🥰

IDLES - The beachland ballroom! Their from the basement session!

It crazy but some of Bobs best albums are his live ones. I think Live Bullet and Nine Tonight are probably two of the best live albums ever recorded.

The first version of this song that I hear was Jon English covering it. It would be interesting to hear you compare the versions.

The man had throat cancer. He is just doing his best.

Very interesting.

Great driving song. Had "Live Bullet" back in the seventies, still sounds great here. Metallica does a cover that's really good too. While Bob is a bit older than I am, in the 50 years since I first heard this song as a teenager I've changed a bit too. 😁

He also battled throat cancer

For the record, he denies having had throat cancer.

I believe Bob has a cold during this live performance. Please review his performance with Jason Aldean of Against the Wind. To my untrained ears he sounds like the Bob Seger of 40 years ago. What do you think?

Even though I can't stand my hometown, I love that it's mentioned in this song. Aka Omaha

What the heck! You should listen to the old live version, you shut it off several times when he was trying to explain!

If I remember right he went thru cancer as well.

Is he a smoker? GREAT advice regarding hearing protection especially for musicians AND audience. Tinnitus is maddening!

His pitch is a little off in places. It's still really good though. I had a stroke it made it difficult to control the muscles. Something along the lines of age. He also seems to have a lot more rasp. I was a DJ in my early 20s stood by a speaker in my left ear for years. My ears still ring all the time.

Eddie Berg one take live performence reaction please, thank you! 🤞🤞🤞

@BethRoars: Interesting that you made this video. Bob Seger, like me, is from Michigan. And this makes Bob Seger one of a handful of acts to come from Michigan, like Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Aretha Franklin, and Eminem. The other interesting thing is how you talk about how the voice ages. I'd actually be interested to see your analysis of Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, considering that Bruce has been performing longer than I've been alive (the 1982 performance of Hallowed Be Thy Name at the Hammersmith was before I was born in 1983). And especially the difference in genre, as Bob Seger is considered alternative or soft rock, while Iron Maiden is hard rock or early metal.

BOB SEGER WAS SICK when he sang Turn the page in that Video;Was the Day him and the Silver Bullet Band were Inducted into the RandR HALLof FAME ! .The Reactionist DOESNT Realize! , Him and the Band played and , he SANG that song Touring the COUNTRY, Possibly the WORLD 🌎 for 15 Years afterwards, and his Voice NEVER CHANGED that Much his ENTIRE CAREER! .

Besides his voice aging, he is as good a story teller as there is.

This was 2004. It was the first time he played live in nearly a decade at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. There are better versions he did many years later. He said he had blown out his voice during rehearsals.

Can you react to Florence and the machine “girl with one eye” cover

Sweetie, it's time for some more Ronnie James Dio! The GREATEST performance among many of Ronnies performances, check out Rainbow 'Man on the Silver Mountain' LIVE in Munich 1977 (the 14:45 long version). UNREAL vocals AND guitar, beautiful, bluesy solo. This is REALLY a TREAT! Also 'Mistreated' from the same concert. Really, ANY of the songs from the Live in Munich concert WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!! What happened to talent?!! NOTHING like this out there now.

Have you heard Metallica's cover of this song? One of my favourites 💜

Billy Connolly on drums? 😀😀

Live Bullet will always be the only version of this song for me.

Your video is from his induction into the R&R Hall of Fame. Not his best live performance. He had not performed live for years prior. Check out his Kennedy Center Honors performance of Heartache Tonight. After this he began touring and his voice improved immensely during his live concerts. I know because I went to six concerts over ten years.

I think in 2017 or 18 he had major spinal surgery which was supposed to have been pretty serious.

His voice is shot here. What a shame. But he has been a great songwriter and was a fantastic singer. No shame.

He seems to be gasping for breath a little. ( I made this comment before I heard you address it.)

Bob is underrated in a lot of ways... but then again he's not.... you definitely should do roll me away live , either version

Hello beautiful greetings from Culiacan Sinaloa Mexico 🇲🇽 please react to the official videos of mesxor and the video of por mi Mexico remix

Certainly not as good as Bob in his prime, but always an awesome song that has been one of my favorites since I was a teenager when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Have a listen to the surprising cover by Metallica.

Some notes are slightly out of tune. Over time voice control can be harder ? The same for McCartney the past few years, but it just makes them more real.

Check out the Metallica cover of this song, it’s unreal.

Just don't forget he battled throat cancer in the late eighties

I tried to listen to this, Beth, but I just found it sad that Mr. Seger can no longer hold a pitch the way he used to.

can you do another bring me the horizon reaction 😊

it's been too long since you reacted to nina simone. i suggest pirate jenny

Years ago he did have an operation on his throat. It was 100% certain he would sign again .

Never had operation on throat. That was a rumor. He went to be with his mom while she was dying. That is where he went.

great story he took 10 year off from music to spend time with his family, not many musicians u see doing that

Bob Seger's voice made him sound in his 50s in his 20s & 30s. Now that he's pushing 80, I'm more amazed he's still got this much left in the tank. He's got probably 6 decades of smoking to factor in.

Too many years of smoking. As simple as that. Dylan and Van Morrison quit a long time ago, and they're still around. Mellencamp's voice is very sadly diminished. I saw Bob a handful of times, and he was always good -- check that, GREAT! -- but on his final tour you could tell why he deemed it his last tour. The only singer I can recall who smoked heavily and performed well into his late 60s with a voice essentially the same as when he was in his 30s was Tom Petty.

It's a great song, but not his best performance. I like that you've done two songs from him, but I wish you would do one that's actually a good song of his when he was in his prime.

omg...so pitchy
