Bob Seger says rehearsals making current tour great but might be his last

Bob Seger is having a lot of fun playing live, and he credits that to all the work he and the Silver Bullet Band did to get ready for the shows. Seger and company began rehearsing in September for the tour in support of his new album Face The Promise, which started in November, and he told us that putting in the early effort has really been worth it: "The confidence that all of the rehearsal, and the preparedness, that we did for five-and-a-half weeks is really paying off. And it's really fun because, I guess, we're just ready."

Even though he's enjoying himself, Seger is also wondering whether he'll ever tour again. He told the Boston Herald that the drag of being on the road has him thinking this might be the last one. Seger said, "I just don't know. I wanna stop when people still like us... Also, at my age, it takes a lot of work to put this together. We were rehearsing six hours a day for weeks. I was singing all the time. (Sax player) Alto (Reed) was playing all the time. (Bassist) Chris (Campbell) and (keyboardist) Craig (Frost) and everyone was working so hard to bring the sound up to tour level. I don't know if that's something I wanna do again."

Seger previously told us the tour ends in mid-March, and he's not sure he'll want to play without drummer Don Brewer, who will return to his regular gig in Grand Funk Railroad.

Seger and company hit the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts, on Tuesday, January 30th.
