This review is from: Travelin Man: On the Road and Behind the Scenes with Bob Seger (Painted Turtle Books) (Hardcover)

Thanks to Gary Graff, who's articles I've followed in Detroit newspapers over the years regarding Bob Seger! Thanks too, to Tom Weschler, for the great photos of Michigans most Beloved Rocker--Bob Seger!

"Live Bullet" was my first Seger album as a Christmas gift when I was 10 yrs old and growing up in the suburbs of Detroit. My brother and sister told me to ask "Santa" for the album, but it didn't take me long to figure out (when it kept ending up in the basement with all of their other records) that they really just wanted my Bob Seger "Live Bullet' LP for themselves! I was hooked!

Unfortunately, I wasn't old enough to attend concerts until 1983's: The Distance tour. I've been to every Seger tour since (several times), but only seeing Bob Seger perform 7 times in a lifetime, is not that many. Most diehard Seger fans have seen him 60, 70- 100 times!

Those of you who love Bob Seger for the ultimately down to earth, nice guy, who thinks he's the "unlikliest guy to ever be called a rockstar", will LOVE this book and his climb to stardom. From playing 250 gigs a year to becoming a Grammy Winner and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee! He's been a greatly appreciated entertainer in Detroit, for 40 years!

Graff and Weschler seem to really respect and admire Bob Seger and that comes across. My only fault was that pictures of Bob Seger and his bands could have been larger and filled the entire page. Kudos to the both of them that they thought to do this for Bob Seger! He certainly deserves it.

4.0 out of 5 stars only for true seger fans, October 11, 2009

By 

classic rock fan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Travelin Man: On the Road and Behind the Scenes with Bob Seger (Painted Turtle Books) (Hardcover)

lets get this straight, this is not a biography in any way,this is the authors collection of photographs he took over his many years with seger and every third picture or so gets a paragraph telling you about it, though it does go in chrono order.i'm not saying its bad, but if your looking for the true stories and events that happened during segers formative years in rock in a normal biography way you'll be disappointed,but if you dont mind alot of pictures with a little story then you'll be satisfied.


its really up to you
