A sampling of Seger photos from readers and from around the web. Seger on stage with 3 Doors Down, fall 2005   This looks like the Oakland Mall concert from 1968. But notice the drum set in the foreground, and how the people in the background are facing another small stage -- not the covered stage shown in the previously posted shot. Anyone have an explanation? Update -- Craig Daniels (a regular at the Sherwood Forest shows) writes: I may have an idea of where the photo was taken. It looks like the Eastland Mall in Flint.  It opened in the late 60's or early 70's.  I might even have been there at the time. It was about 5 miles up Center Road from the WTAC radio station.   The Seger Liberation Army's cover of 2+2=?. A German issue of Lucifer. Moonstone (1973) with Tom Neme on guitar, second from right (right?). Seger with the Town Criers.     Return to the News and Updates Page
