does bob seger have an opening act?

Question

i have tickets to the boston show of bob seger and cant get there early. does anyone know if he has an opening act?

Answer 1

We just saw him this past Tuesday and it was AWESOME! We skipped the opening act, and Bob played for almost 3 hrs. He took an 8-minute break and that's it. He didn't play my fav though, Someday Lady You'll Accompany Me, but he has so many greats. Have a wonderful time!

Answer 2

yes Bob has an opening act following with him. I seen him in Cleveland last month and it was the worse show I've ever seen. Litterally it was putting people to sleep.
Eric Church opened, nobody around me even knew who he was. We wouldn't have found out either but at the end of the show he said his name and hoped we enjoyed the show.
Bob started great, man he rocked! He opened with "Roll Me Away", then went into "Trying to live my life without you." He also did "Turn the page, Main Street, all the songs you would expect. Then he took a 20 minute break, came back out, got behind the piano for "We've got tonight" and a couple other classics. Then I don't know what happened, he lost it. He went into this mellow, I don't know what to call it but some drunk girls in front of us passed out it was so bad. The encores really kicked ***, but I won't give them away. If it wasn't for Alto Reed the show would have been a total flop.
I really hope you enjoy the show. Personally, I expected more out of Bob then what he performed. Maybe I just go to too many concerts. I didn't feel the light show was that great, the sound was good though. It was Classic Bob, but come on 70 bucks a seat.
Maybe it was just me, I'm sure other people thought it was a great show. The people I went with enjoyed it but for one it was her first concert ever.
I've been going to concerts since the late 70's early 80's, seen the great rockers, the hair bands, everything from The Eagles to Iron Maiden, Twisted Sister, Kiss, Foghat, Skid Row, Niel Young, ZZ Top, if they came anywhere nearby I was so there.
I'd like to hear from other people and you on whether or not you enjoy this show. It was such a predictable concert though. If you have Bob Seger's Live "Nine Tonight" album then you pretty much know what songs he's going to play and when.

Answer 3

I don't know for certain, but I'm pretty sure he will.
He's not big enough to do a solo show, even the Stones have opening acts.

Answer 4

He will surely have one, but I haven't heard who.

BTW, I got his new album, Face the Promise, for Christmas and it ROCKS.

Answer 5

Originally a hard-driving rocker in the vein of fellow Michigan garage rockers the Rationals and Mitch Ryder, Bob Seger developed into one of the most popular heartland rockers over the course of the '70s. Combining the driving charge of Ryder's Detroit Wheels with Stonesy garage rock and devotion to hard-edged soul and R&B, he crafted a distinctively American sound. While he never attained the critical respect of his contemporary Bruce Springsteen, Seger did develop a dedicated following through constant touring with his Silver Bullet Band. Following several years of missed chances and lost opportunities, Seger finally achieved a national audience in 1976 with the back-to-back release of Live Bullet and Night Moves. After the platinum success of those albums, Seger retained his popularity for the next two decades, releasing seven Top Ten, platinum-selling albums in a row.

Seger began playing music in 1961 as the leader of the Detroit-based trio the Decibels; his future manager, Eddie "Punch" Andrews was also a member of the band. Moving to Ann Arbor, he played with the Town Criers before he became the keyboardist and vocalist for Doug Brown & the Omens. Billing themselves as the Beach Bums, the band released "The Ballad of the Yellow Beret," a parody of the Sgt. Barry Sadler song "The Ballad of the Green Beret." The single was withdrawn shortly after its release after Sadler threatened a lawsuit. In 1966, Seger released his first solo single, "East Side Story," which became a regional hit. Several other local hit singles followed on Cameo Records, including "Persecution Smith" and "Heavy Music," before his label folded. In 1968, he formed the Bob Seger System and signed with Capitol Records, releasing his debut album, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, in the spring of that year. The title track became a national hit, climbing to number 17, but the group's follow-up, Noah, stiffed and Seger decided to quit the music business at the end of 1969 to attend college.

By the end of the summer, Seger had returned to rock & roll with a new backing band, releasing Mongrel at the end of the year. For 1971's Brand New Morning, he disbanded his group and recorded a singer/songwriter effort. Following its release, he began performing with the duo Dave Teegarden and Skip "Van Winkle" Knape, and the duo provided support on 1972's Smokin' O.P.'s, which was the first release on Palladium Records, a label he formed with Andrews. The album failed to sell, as did Back in '72 (1973) and Seven (1974), and he moved back to Capitol Records for 1975's Beautiful Loser. For the recording of Beautiful Loser, Seger formed the Silver Bullet Band, which consisted of guitarist Drew Abbott, bassist Chris Campbell, keyboardist Robyn Robbins, saxophonist Alto Reed, and drummer Charlie Allen Martin. Seger supported Beautiful Loser with an extensive tour with the Silver Bullet Band, and while it didn't make the album a hit, it provided a widespread grassroots following across the country. The touring paid off in 1976, when Live Bullet, a double album recorded in Detroit, became a hit, spending over three years on the U.S. charts and going gold; the album would eventually go quadruple platinum.

The groundswell behind Live Bullet sent Seger's next studio album, Night Moves (1976), into the Top Ten early in 1977. Night Moves became a blockbuster, generating the hit singles "Night Moves," "Mainstreet," and "Rock & Roll Never Forgets." Stranger in Town, released in the summer 1978, was just as successful, featuring the hits "Still the Same," "Hollywood Nights," "We've Got Tonite," and "Old Time Rock & Roll." Stranger in Town confirming his status as one America's most popular rockers. Seger's next album, 1980's Against the Wind, became his first number one album and all of its big hits — "Fire Lake," "Against the Wind," "You'll Accomp'ny Me" — were ballads. The live album Nine Tonight continued his multi-platinum success in 1981, selling three million copies and peaking at number three.

Seger returned with The Distance in 1982. The Distance was the first album since Seven to be recorded with the addition of session musicians, which caused guitarist Abbott to quit the band in frustration. Over the course of the next decade, the membership of the Silver Bullet Band shifted constantly. While The Distance featured "Shame on the Moon," his biggest hit single to date, its sales plateaued at a million copies, suggesting that his popularity was beginning to level off. Seger also began to drastically reduce his recording and touring schedules — he only released one other album, 1986's Like a Rock, during the '80s. Like a Rock and its supporting tour were both successes, paving the way for "Shakedown," a song taken from the soundtrack to Beverly Hills Cop II, to become Seger's lone number one hit in 1987. Four years after its release, he returned with The Fire Inside. Although the album went platinum and reached the Top Ten, it only appealed to Seger's devoted following, as did 1995's It's a Mystery, which became his first album since Live Bullet to fail to go platinum, leveling off at gold status. In 2006, after an 11-year hiatus, Seger released Face the Promise.
