The 70s Are gone for good: Bob Seger Ceases Night Moves, Adds Name to Tour Retirement List with Paul Simon, Neil Diamond, Elton John

We won’t be enjoying the earlier time Rock ‘n roll live for much longer. Detroit’s hometown hero, Bob Seger, is saying goodbye for the road.

Seger has announced that his upcoming tour, beginning November 21st in Grand Rapids, Michigan, shall be his last. Seger turned 73 in May. Absolutely no reason received to the end up. Seger was famous for 1971 live album which let fans experience his exciting show. That album kept fans in seats for decades. (“Katmandu” anyone?)

Seger joins lots of 70s rock stars who will be saying goodbye soon. Paul Simon ends his touring career this Saturday in Forest Hills, Queens. Elton John is actually using a 300 date farewell journey. Neil Diamond already called touring quits. Joan Baez is abandoning the trail. Tina Turner ended her touring career ever before. Promoters already miss brands like Aretha Franklin and Natalie Cole.

Still out there rocking of their 70s: Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey. Van Morrison is accessible somewhere. Could be Smokey Robinson and Diana Ross. The 60s crowd includes Sting and Bruce Springsteen, Lionel Richie, and Stevie Wonder. Madonna is currently just during the 60s group, too. Steven Tyler and Aerosmith are setting down in Las vegas, nv.

Touring is grueling, no game for old men, regardless how good they think. With the Music Modernization Act passing into legislation we’re probably going to see more stars hanging it up as their royalties (hopefully) increase.

Rock promoters will miss these evergreen all-stars who had big catalogs of songs and may even go arenas.
