\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week Sweetie and I loaded up and went to the BOK Cente<\/span><\/b>r<\/a> in downtown Tulsa to see Bob Seger<\/span><\/b><\/a> and the Silver Bullet Band in concert. (I’ll apologize right up front for the fuzzy photos.)<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll admit, I love his music. In general I hate the 1970’s to early 80’s era music but that is mainly because of over exposure. I have had several years of XM Satellite therapy and I’m feeling much better about music from that era. I mean, I loved it at the time, but after the 10,000th hearing it gets a little old.<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, Bob Seger at 66 years old is selling out major arenas. He is bypassing the casinos. There is some life in the old rocker yet.<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

He sang, he played guitar and the piano, he kept he crowd on their feet the whole time.<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

He was so hot, he literally burst into flames at one point, yes literally. I caught it on film.<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

He not only brought the world’s biggest saxophone with him, he brought half of Michigan down to Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

He had a bunch of horns, and a bunch of guys playing guitar,<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

He brought the cute backup singers<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

(The lady on the right, it was her birthday, in case you want to send her a card. She’d appreciate it, I’m sure.)<\/p>\n

The crowd loved Bob Seger but they LOVED the lead guitar, Mark Chatfield. He lives in Glen Pool, Oklahoma. Right outside Tulsa. (Also the home of the weirdest city slogan of all time, “The Town That Made Tulsa Famous.”)<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

Talk about a lead guitar, playing like lead guitar. He was berserk, he went crazy. He whipped his guitar left, right, up and down. You could tell that the rest of the band knew to stay out of his way. No Generation X or Y angst about his mommy leaving him at a day care center when he was little. He rocked and he rolled. He owned the place. The crowd applauded him for five minutes when he was introduced. Seger didn’t seem to mind.<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

Seger played for well over two hours and had two encores. He wore us down. He had the whole band take a bow.<\/p>\n

\"Bob<\/a><\/p>\n

I rate his concert a four out of five stars. Go see him when he comes your way. You won’t be sorry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
