Bookending the July 4th holiday with Eric Clapton at Jones Beach, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band performed at the Nassau Coliseum on Tuesday, July 5th, 1983. My wife’s favorite bands are Chicago, the Eagles and Bob Seger and, if memory serves me right, this date may have been postponed from an earlier date due to illness. I had picked up my then girlfriend in Elmhurst with Dad’s car to make the trip to Nassau County when we heard on the radio that it had been canceled for that night. We caught the farewell tour at Jones Beach and lastly at Madison Square Garden, where we had pretty good center orchestra seats, and had a joyous blast. Seger knew how and when to pull the pin as not too long after his final shows the pandemic shut everything down until now and the great Alto Reed has passed since.

Rock on!
