Bob Segar officially announced his plans for a North American tour that starts in March 2011.
Bob Seger teased his fanbase with a hint on his website yesterday and today a teaser video was posted which shows a blank map with different states highlighted.
Is he ready for it?
In an article yesterday by Detroit Free Press, Seger is mentioned discussing how mentally and physically challenging a tour can be:
“I’ve got to build up my stamina, my wind, my physical ability to do a live show, because people are going to expect a certain amount of energy,” he said in the days before his 2006 kickoff. “The band is certainly able to deliver it. I have to step up to the plate and get there.”
Although the tour is more than likely going to be fairly long only four states have been announced thus far:
- Ohio
- Michigan
- New York
- Missouri
The press release that announced the Seger and his Silver Bullet Band tour said that dates will be announced shortly. It also stated:
“Fans can expect to see and hear Seger’s timeless classics like ‘Night Moves’ and ‘Old Time Rock & Roll’ alongside a preview of new songs from his forthcoming as yet untitled new release.”
This is the first time hitting the road in four years.
Are you excited about the Bob Seger tour? Will you attend a show?

HELL YES!!!! 2006-2007 tour I attended 16 shows! Had to quit my job to do it to. Never regreted a minute of it either. Saw all 7 shows in Detroit. Will again too. EVERYONE should go see at least one Bob Seger show. It is WELL worth the time and money.

Saw Bob in Denver in the late '70's. We had obstructed view seats in the nosebleeds, and it was still the very best concert I had ever been to. I became a Seger fan to the core and I am awed and inspired by to this day. I always hoped I'd get to see him live again and I will go where ever I have to.

I hope he comes to the South! I live in Birmingham, but will travel within reason to see him. I saw Bob Seger in Memphis, Tennessee in 1994 and it was a fantastic concert.

I have been a fan since the 70's. The last concert I saw was in Chicago in2006. It was one of the best ones I saw! He looks old now, but sounded fantastic and did a great set list. Everyone was on there feet, dancing during the whole show.( Not like these lame concerts today where everyone sits cause they are out of shape!)His music makes us all feel like we are young and strong!

I"ve seen him live 8 times and absolutely there will be a 9th, his music is timeless, uplifting, the kind of music that EVERYONE has been able to relate to. His songwriting covers experinces, feelings and situations we can all say, hey, I"ve been through that, as though he knows that we have, and he is saying - this one is for you! First saw him at the Goose Lake Festival in 69 or 70, his heart and soul poured out onto that stage back then. A down to earth man and a musical legend. We love him and he loves his fans...like the music that pours from his soul!

I drove from Canada to Seattle in '07 after waiting years and years for Bob to tour again. Loved the concert and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he'll come to the West Coast again. It would be fantastic to be able to hear him play again. PLEASE BOB COME OUT WEST!!!

The guy doesnt have a bad song, and my dad turned me on to Segar when I was a baby. Hope to hear it all live in DENVER, CO. the mile high city RED ROCKS AMPLITHEATRE is the best place for any concert Segar would be the best Ive ever seen no doubt in my mind.
