Barely noticed in its original release on “Back in ‘72,” Turn the Page was a huge hit for Bob Seger when released as a live track on “Live Bullet” in 1976.

It shows the contrast between the high of being on stage before an energetic crowd versus being a relative nobody when it’s not showtime. Numerous other musicians have covered the song, and it was a strong influence on Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive.”
