open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - Фільми й анімація
Finally hitting some more Bob Seger!!! 'Night Moves' was easily the most suggested song we saw from you guys, we put it as an option on the poll a few weeks back and you all knocked it out of the park!! Make sure to vote in this week's poll! What's the next song we gotta hit from Seger!? Have a great weekend guys! :)
meh...not even in his top ten.
@The Donald
Well if it only gets better from here then that’s some damn great news bc we loved this.
As a ex DJ, this IS a top 10 song! Very requested for year's!
@@andyandalex It does. Get Out of Denver, Beautiful Loser, Fire Lake, Katmandu, Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Hollywood Nights, Her Strut, Still the Same, You'll Accomp'ny Me, Tryin' to Live My Life Without You, Roll Me Away, We've Got Tonight, Shame on the Moon, Feel Like a Number...to name a few.
@@Shadowrider1872 Stairway to Heaven and Hotel California always get lots of requests too.
SEGER IS THE MAN!
Yes he is!! Cheers man thanks for stopping by! 🙌🏻🔥
I'm not sure these youngin's are ready for some of Brother Bob's nastier songs. Should we let them hear "Come to Poppa"?
Chuck Fu absolutely. They will be blown away by its kickassedness. Ask Jamel. He loved it.
@@joecasey1329 Yah, worth offending some sensibilities for the funky guitar licks.
Hey Jamal I hope they reveiw all of the Bob Seger songs that you reviewed and Roll Me Away as well!
"I woke last night to the sound of thunder" - I was waiting for the guys to get to this at 3:59, one of the all time moments in music history, when Seger shifts the entire meaning of the phrase "Night Moves," and changes the song from a young-lust anthem to everything we lose along the way, yet always long for.... one day you have the world in the freaking palm of your hand, the next day you are humming a song from 1962. Ain't it funny how the night moves. Priceless reaction thanks guys.
So right!!
Real fine post, my friend! Real fine👍
Yes!
reacting-to-reactors Excellent
Very nice analogy
It's ironic how we're reminiscing about a song that is about reminiscing.
I'm reminiscing about this comment...
@@kevinkingmaker7395 I don't remember making that comment, but I guess I'm reminiscing.
When you grow up in the upper midwest you know to count the seconds from the lightning to the thunder. 5 seconds per mile. This just reminds me of summer so much. Parking in the woods and practicing, and then becoming drive-in news.
When this song came out in 1977, I was just 13. That said, I didn’t appreciate the subject matter. Then one day you wake up and you’re 40+ and even 50+, and you think back to those teen years, the fumbling, tumbling times of awkward passion, and you become weak in the knees and your heart bleeds. If you only knew then what you know now and if you only knew then that those times would be so fleeting yet so ingrained in your very soul. To the point when he says “started singing a song from 1962”, you change the year to 1982 (senior year in HS) and, every single time you hear it to this very day, you fight back tears. THAT, gents, is powerful stuff and THAT takes talent. And he does it with so many songs. Listen to Against the Wind and We’ve Got Tonight just to name two more heart-tugging Seger gems.
You absolutely nailed the “emotional pull” this song possesses. This song is a true American classic. I actually remember hearing this song once with my girlfriend ( in ‘82) and I just knew one day I’d find this song hard to listen to. I was right. Beautiful song.
Razor - I couldn't agree with you more - well said. I'm 54. I can clearly remember listening to this song on the radio when I was 11-12 and not quite fully understanding what he was singing about. The age of innocence. Now I am married 27 years, have 2 wonderful sons in their 20's. And yet, I find myself listening to these wonderful songs on A and A / UA-cam and tears well up in my eyes. Going back to those days we can never visit again starts to really rip at your gut.
Shang1966 So true. Those times were equally hard and confusing mixed with freedom, adventure and promise.
RAZOR Yessir...
You made me think of Against the Wind....
”Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.”
I think that is one of the greatest lines ever written. He is awesome!
Hey guys, you really need to do an analysis of the lyrics here. The early part of the song is him as a young man; hooking up, care free. The mid/late part is him remembering his earlier life, and missing it. The killer line is “...with autumn closing in”. It’s a metaphor for aging and getting closer to death. Such a powerful song that only gets stronger as you age and see yourself as the subject.
Michael Novak Amen to that! Especially “Autumn closing in”!!!!! Pure poetry!!
Perfect description
I must admit I cannot understand how ANYONE could not understand this song. At all.
Now I see there is. All the way the reminiscing of his teenage years and how they were carefree. You explained it well. Maybe I'm the age who needed an out of way place to fool around. For me once in our cemetery. No kidding. And the cop caught us. And ANOTHER time while parked under the bridge. Dang. This cop was laughing and it was the fogged up windows. Take care. :)
Michael Novak
Well said..
Similar to Pink Floyd lyrics from Roger Waters. We seemed to be more Introspection in the late 60s and early 70s. These days I just don't understand. One thing is life's far shorter and goes by more quickly than we ever imagined. A different lyric but in the same vain,. I can't recall the artist but... "Every generation, blames the one before".
Boys, all I can tell you is that I've heard this song a thousand times since I was a kid and never thought too much about it. Last night when I first watched your vid, I really listened to it for the first time - and now at age 50 - it hit me like a ton of bricks. Don't know that a young person can fully appreciate what it feels like to look back on the glory of your youth across the years. It is a truly bittersweet feeling. After hearing it, I downloaded his greatest hits and have spent today listening. Now these are songs I've heard all by life, but now - Holy Sh#t - the lyrics. So many of them have these same nostalgic undertones - Like a Rock, Against the Wind, Hollywood Nights, just to name a few. You boys have shown me something that has been right under my nose for years. Thank you!
It's why we watch, right? The added discovery.
And to recapture the feeling of hearing a cherished song for the first time. ✌🏽
Very cool
Yep, when one gets north of 50, it takes on a new meaning. Like A Rock is another one.
Same. All those nights on back roads and at the drive in :)
OMG, same here at 54...listened to this 1000 times and now have watched this vid al least 5 times and no appreciate it and all of Seger so much
"With autumn closin' in". Gets me every time, esp. now that the end is closer than the beginning in my life.
Same!
I’m right there with you my friend
it’s interesting....Andy, you were talking about wanting to cry...and Alex, you spoke of goosebumps. What that feeling is that he evoked so well was nostalgia.....looking back from being older to the days of youth and awakening. Seger’s brilliance is that he can make young guys like you two FEEL the emotions of a middle-aged or older guy looking back. Now, THAT’S brilliant writing......and emotive singing....
Yeah, this song is weaponized nostalgia.
Well stated and insightful, W. G. Spaulding! Night moves of one's youth and how time also moves, forcing one to look back... Brilliant, indeed.
Had not thought of that, but you are right!
@W. Geoffrey Spaulding
Exactly! You hit the nail on the head. He had me thinking back on what seem like distant memories to me already, and then at the same time I was thinking ‘oh gosh what will this feel like in 40 years’, and that’s when the tears came!
Andy & Alex Yeah....and that’s exactly how it feels.....Like a Rock is that way too......but I don’t think quite as evocative...
Hollywood Nights. The drive of that song is incredible.
The only song by him I like.
Relentless drums
I agree. Hollywood Nights is one of those songs that'll make you drive too fast.
"Roll Me Away" is for when you want to drive far.
Bob's pimp song is "Fire Down Below" or "Come to Poppa"
And I'd listen to him sing the weather report, but prefer "Main Street"
Agree. That drumming style with monotone driving bass. Just drives it
It's basically this song at a rock tempo.
This is such a deeper song than they realize. Seger's looking back on his teenage years wistfully, realizing how far he's come and also how much he's lost over the years. Lost childhood innocence - even the sexual awakening is something that everyone can relate to. This is a classic for a reason - it resonates with everyone who hears it. Listen a few more times and the meaning gets deeper.
Yes
Ain't it funny how you remember?
@@danielsherwood3460beautiful comment
“I awoke last night to the sound of thunder. How far off I sat and wondered”? My favorite line from any song, anywhere. Especially the pauses.
Leisa, same with the pauses. 💜
This and "I wish I didn´t know now what I didn´t know then" from Against the wind
I think the most impactful line for me personally even though it feels like a punch in the gut is "with autumn closing in". It makes me accept that those days are over for me.
There are a handful of Bob’s songs that I cry to…this is #1!
"Working on mysteries without any clues" sums up everyone's 1st time
I'm 57, and it feels like I've loved this song my whole life. Nostalgia, melancholy, gratitude, joy . . . all at once.
dennis345 ditto
60 here, when I discovered radio, he was already giving me the soundtrack
@@ericvanswoll4611 61. The same.
I’m 55, so feeling the same.
I’m 55, and ditto.
Bob Seger, can’t get much better in my opinion.
Sorry but I must say great song absolutely, but nothing in my opinion will ever top his live bullet album.. course having been there ..
Patrick Peterson , I meant everything by Bob Seger , not just this song.
Right on as a Detroit native .. just another kick ass band the time and place thank you God I was there
Yes, it's a piece of Art that is beyond one's capability yet there it is.
This is literally - the song of my life. I was a senior in high school when this came out - and Susanne and I would steal away any chance we could - and enjoy naked teenage romance in the back of a car. We even got caught by the cops once - fully nude doing it - when a tap on the window happened. We even did it to this very song playing on the radio during those summer nights. When I was in my 30's - I'd wake at night and listen to the thunder - and I would think of her and wonder how she was doing as my wife laid beside me asleep and the kids in the other room. Now I'm in my 60's - and this yearning for that time has never left me - sure I have a good life - but part of living good is keeping a small ember in a corner of your heart of a memory from long ago. This song can evoke a tear - and a melancholy longing that burns so good. Ah - I remember those night moves.
The best Seger song he ever wrote and recorded....”Roll Me Away”....
Excellent choice guys. Bob Seger is an extraordinary story teller through his music. According to Seger, he actually had a 1960 Chevy Bel Aire during his time in high school, the same '60 Chevy in which he lost his virginity. After listening to this classic tune, you'll understand my comment much better.
I highly suggest
"Main Street",
I have no doubt that you guys will totally enjoy it.
😊✌
Pete Carr is famous of the guitar in Mainstreet #rip
Main Street is an excellent suggestion.
@@burmajones803
That is so cool, because I just got done listening to it.👍
thirded for Main Street
I have always thought of Main Street as the follow up to Night Moves
"I used her, she used me, but neither one cared. We were gettin' our share." Ah, to be young again. "With autumn closin' in. . ."
I'd go with "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then".
@@randypowell7526 👍
Hahaaa i got my shares too.
Whoop whoop 🙌
This song brings a tear to my eyes, reminds everyone of being a teen, summer time and learning night moves
I was at Lollapalooza in Michigan back in ‘94. Smashing Pumpkins were headlining and in the middle of the song Hummer (I believe it was Hummer), the music went into its quiet section, the lights went down on stage as the song decrescendoed into silence...into which a familiar voice rang out, “I woke last night to the sound of thunder...how far off I sat and wondered...[crowd is screaming at this point]...started humming a song from 1962...ain’t it funny how the night moves...when you just don’t seem to have as much to lose...strange how the night moves...with autumn rolling in...” and the band rolled into the capper of Night Moves with Bob Seger singing. People were going mental, doubly so because he is quintessentially Michigan. That. Was. Amazing.
Yes, that would have been incredible!
This guy can tell a story....... Smooooooth
Vic Lagina - A music journalist once asked Paul McCartney, “What’s it like being the world’s best songwriter?”
McCartney answered - “Ask Neil Finn that question”
That conversation was nonsensical in a world that has Bob Seger.
I'll never listen to today's music and regret having grown up in the 70s. Welcome to my high school days. I can literally see myself and my friends standing around by our cars at night somewhere, drinking beer, talking shit about people who weren't there, wishing there were more girls around and listening to music like this blasting from someone's car stereo. Rock on, dudes. 😎🔥🤘
Those were the days. Graduated in '79. I miss those years.
ReFuSinG tO LiStEN tO tOdAY’s MuSiC just makes you sound old and bitter. I mean, really dude? There’s NOTHING worth listening to today? Mmmmmk. How do you think older generations felt in the 70s? Get a grip, dawg.
Amen!!
@@kamtheman106 That's not what I said, grasshopper. Read it again.
That exactly what we did in ‘77-‘79. This LP was a major player. BTW our meet was a very dark, isolated, elongated, place with cinders named “Oak Point Road!” 25-50 cars parked alongside that lost road every Friday and Saturday. Never had it so great!
"Felt the lightning.......Waited on the thunder..." - Damn I wish I'd written that.
I know of no other song that so completely captures the mood and circumstances of being a teenager in the 1970's. This song is a Cornerstone of my own teen life, back then. Dude, I tear up on the part too; because I miss that sweet, simple time.
The devastated look on Andy's face when he thought the song was over too soon--priceless! Well-deserved S-tier rating.
I know, right? Alex kind of panicked too (grabbing for his phone, like "noooo")!! haha. Too funny! I think this reaction can be placed in the top 5? :)
So true!
Heard this song a thousand times over the decades and I still turn it up today. It NEVER gets old. THANK U, guys! Seger is wonderful. Bob and the SBB can tear it up, too. Be the first reviewers on UA-cam to react to a rock radio staple for 44 yrs- "Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser" (from "Live Bullet")- a scorcher that has it all and will impress the hell out of you.
I agree. It's where they need to go next. So much to choose from though!
I think this song gets better over time.
Yes the Live Bullet version is a MUST!
I turn it off
Travelin' Man, YES perfect follow up. Maybe follow that one up with the Bob Seger/ Mitch Ryder live cuts.
I was 16 when this album came out and working on my own "night moves". Now, I'm 61 and autumn has passed. This song is so epic. A song about young kids relieving the bordem with sex and how the man remembers, with both fondness and pain, those days of freedom and recklessness. I was too young at 16 to appreciate the beauty and wisdom in the words, but I sure do get it now! Whenever I hear this song, I'm instantly 16 again fogging up the windows with some boy at the local drive-in. 45 years have not dimmed my love for this song.
It is amazing that Bob was only 29 when he wrote this. So perceptive. You'd think it's written by a man 20 years older.
I am with girl, Class of '79.
One of the most brilliantly written songs ever...and that's coming from a 60+ year old guy who got to see a lot of classic rock and roll bands in their prime...:-) By the way...your reaction was one of the best I've ever seen to any song. Glad to see the young ones enjoying great music!
Main Street is one of his best.
A double bill of "Main Street" by Bob Seger and of "Avenue A" by Red Rider.
Frigging love Main street!!!
With the late great Pete Carr on 🎸
Oooh yeah, they've got to do that one too.
“Woke last night to the sound of thunder, how far off, I sat and wondered.” For anyone who grew up in the midwest, this absolutely evokes the feeling of summer nights. You can picture the lightning bugs flitting around.
Same feeling here in Texas!
Florida too, major thunderstorms here.
Sure, but when you combine that with “Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy...” it paints a picture of the midwest.
Seger somehow invokes all the magic of youth and summer. I always feel so nostalgic listening to his music. He hits the feelers hard!
Yes amazing how he can do it
Great comment
A person of 16 probably can't relate to this song like a person in the "autumn" of life. Seger can put the listener through more emotions in 5 minutes than any artist I have heard.
Now imagine a concert venue, when the song gets quiet and everyone explodes when he hits that beat again. Sauce explosion!
Been there, done that. Sold out show, Memphis Mid-south Collisium. Holy cow.
Yes.
... try it in Cobo Hall in Detroit among the people who know him best of all.
I have never seen Andy lose his shit so bad over a song before. Lord, I remember.
A lil disappointed that they didn’t mention how absolutely perfect and essential the backup singers are to the vibe of this song, but great reaction.
THey are PERFECT
@@loosilu His entire band. Every one of them is a great and accomplished musician in their own right.
Seger consistently had great back up singers through his career.
I kid you not, one of his 3 background singers, is an FBook friend of mine. Just a little chit chat here and there as she's part of a FBook group I administer that is devoted to Bob Seger. Shaun Murphy joined of her own volition (!). She's been with Bob since 1973.
@@gregscupholm254 whuuuujt? That's amazing!
Bob Segar is the ultimate story teller in song. You just got a small taste of the talent of this man. It's easy for me to relate to all the phases the song carries us thru. I'm 63 and I lived this song. I'm still living the last verse today...
Correct. Well, almost ... I concur that Seger is phenomenal and was a prolific writer. However, I think that song for song, catalog for catalog, the Ultimate storyteller, at least in the last 45-50 years, has to be Tom Petty. I have listened to and followed a lot of singer/songwriters in my 70 years and there are very few that are in the same class with regard to his mastery of the 3-5 minute story. And are nearly always told so as to be open to the interpretation of the listener. At this moment I cannot think of anyone that has done it so consistently for so long. It still makes me sad that he died and we will not get to hear the next batch of stories. Again, I have always appreciated Bob Seger, but "Ultimate" is a pretty heavy lift. And, there is likely someone I am unaware of that might be considered as "Ultimate." I'm open to that.
Same as
With Autumn Closing In...at 67 here!
It's SEGER!
@@jtinsley01 NO WAY TOM PETTY WAS A BETTER STORY TELLER THAN BOB SEGER!
When talking about “greatest singers” Bob Seger is rarely mentioned, but he has a fantastic voice.
Not just the voice; it’s how he uses it. If you don’t feel something listening to Seger, chances are you are already dead.
"Timeless" You have no idea how true this is. The more years you get under your belt the more true this statement becomes.
Nostalgia, thy name is Seger.
"Songwriting at its finest" Also true. One of a handful of singer/songwriters that can stand the test of time.
So many Seger songs to choose from. You can't go wrong no matter where you pick them. You have heard two of his most famous songs. Both played on classic rock stations two or three times a day. It goes so much deeper. You have no idea yet. But, you will.
Seger will make you cry, dance and get philosophical. Sometimes in the same song.
He honed his craft for years before he became popular outside of the Detroit area. He earned every accolade he has received.
Turn this into an all Seger channel and you're good for at least a year.
Thanks for this reaction.
More, please and thank you
The only problem with Bob Seger's "Main Street" is it should be three times longer. It's the only song I know where the hook is one guitar note. Whenever it hits, it is like you're inhaling the sweetest waft of wildflowers with your eyes closed on the perfect Spring day.
I'm a retired 60 yr old Marine who has the same reaction as Andy every time I hear this song. I've watched this reaction many times, and it always lifts me up and makes me smile. Appreciate the emotion and the authenticity you young men bring to every video.
This guy doesn’t just sing songs he tells stories. My all the fav is Main Street. Please give it a try. Thank you peace ✌️
Definitely a classic. Also Against the Wind
Against the Wind has one of the greatest lines ever in a rock song. Hollywood Nights. Turn the Page. Hard to go wrong with Bob Seger.
They did Turn The Page already. Go watch it!
Don't forget "Mainstreet".
Blane Mather doh! I thought they might have, but I spaced.
It's all good. But it's a fun watch!
Blane Mather oh, I’ve seen it. I knew they’d done one, I just couldn’t remember which one.
I’ve got to mention “Against the Wind.”
seconded
NEXT NEXT NEXT !!!!!!
That one will make Andy weep like a baby
This song has so much pathos, when you listen to it as an older person. Lost youth, the beauty of being young, all of that.
I now listen to this and at 77, I wish I'd had done all those things I was scared to do back then! Lol can't help.but feel that I missed some thunder!
I just watched your reaction to this song. I love how moved you were by Bob. I've been listening to him for about 45 years. No other singer touches my soul like Bob Seger. You guys have a new fan ! ❤
"strange how the night moves....with autumn closing in..." is one of my all time favorite lines
You can't hear it without feeling a pang
very poignant.
Why?
@@Frankincensedjb123 metaphor for aging, no longer a young man
Absolutely. I think of this song every year during late summer. I think you need to be from the Midwest to truly appreciate it. I'm 54, so I might hum a song from 1982. Everything would change so rapidly for a teenager at that time of year. School, sports added responsibilities and pressure all hitting at once. You had a sudden loss of freedom and less time with your girlfriend. Then the weather would suck. The autumn of a life and having a granddaughter make me feel less sentimental and depressed!
Now you MUST listen to "Against the Wind"
I couldn't agree more. The Magic of Segar can be seen in "Against the Wind" with lyrics like "I Wish I didn't know how, what I didn't know then". Throw in the Eagle's Henley and Felder doing backup vocals in the song and you've got a Classic song.
Against. The. Wind.
Certainly in his top 5
I can't tell you how many times I've watched this reaction, but it's an embarrassing amount of times. Firstly, this song is perfection, it is a masterclass on songwriting. Bob Seger's voice just makes you feel all warm inside, it's a rare and beautiful talent. Those backgound vocals are so soulful, like they're taking me to church! The sublime lyrics, everyone in the world can relate to them, we all had that age when we were working on our Night Moves, it's a right of passage that is unforgettable. Now that I've waxed poetic about the genius of Night Moves, I have to throw some poetry to the Gents. @Andy & Alex Your reaction is genius! From Andy almost brought to tears, to Alex's dissapointment when you thought the song was over. Andy, when you fist pumped at the revival and the background vocals, I was fist pumping right with you. Alex when you said "Sounds like some Scooby Doo shit", I almosy lost my shit, that was so freakin' funny! What I'm trying to say here, is that you are the best reaction channel, your reactions are always real and it's commendable, you're never faking it. Why am I saying all of this? Because I want Andy & Alex to reach 100K. The Gents work really hard to bring top notch content. They also foster a great sense of community. The A&A community is full of amazing, music loving, strong opinion having, passionate, smart people and it'd be awesome to have some more lunatics in the asylum, right? If A&A reach 100K us fans get a full album reaction! I've gone back to every A&A video to make sure I hit that "like" button, it helps the algorithm, so that they'll be suggested to more people. Let's get the Gents to 100K All you have to do is Like, Comment, Subscribe, Share and Feel the Love!
Great synapsis of the song and our boys!
This is probably my very favorite reaction by the guys. I've watched it over and over and over.
I, too, have watched this too many times to count. I love this description of their reaction. So entertaining and so genuine. Bob Seger needs to see this as well. I think the boys only missed that this song is so much deeper than they think at this point in their lives. It hits differently as we age as it is about a man -in the autumn of his life-looking back at his life. Can’t believe they still haven’t hit Roll Me Away or Katmandu
It's like, I love how much you guys love this song. You really got into it!
Right here watching again. Those night moves ❤️ and autumn closing in 🥲 if only we could go back…..and feel the thunder.
Against the Wind. Bob Seeger was the quintessential Midwest rocker, along with John Mellencamp
As a Michigander, if you didn't like Seger, you lost your Michigan status!
Main Street and Still the Same by Bob Seger. A great lyricist.
Musically, his range is narrow. He has just a few tricks as a pony. But they are very, very good tricks.
She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high
I once drove past a Furman High School and broke out laughing thinking about that line.
Never realized what he said there. And what the hell are points?
In the previous line, he refers to himself "tight pants, points, hardly renowned."
In that line, "points" was contemporary slang for pointed toe boots.
So he carries that word, "points" over to the description of his girl, and gives it a little double entendre meaning.
Smooth as hell.
@@Frankincensedjb123 for her, points would be nipples, firm and high would be breasts
Frankincensed in reference to the girl - her breasts.
Bob gives off a tremendous amount of emotion when he sings. He's also a wonderful storyteller. Hope you'll consider "Main Street."
You guys are really missing out if you haven't reacted to Bob Seger's Travelling Man/Beautiful Loser, it's one of his best!
You guys just looked like a couple of kids in the candy store with this one. This is a song that never fails to pull you out of time and body all alone in the car at night. Looks like it had pretty much the same effect on you guys. Great reaction!!
Spot on comment and observation of their reaction. This song always makes me appreciate Bob Seger. Had the album back in the late 70’s. Loved it.
More Seger!! YES!! You could fill a month doing Seger.
So so true ! 👍🏼
Yes, I saw him live for the first time a couple of years ago with just how many well known songs he has accumulated. And he got to all my faves plus some, except for Katmandu.
Boys, you have given me the gift of hearing songs I’ve listened to 25,000 times with new ears. Cannot ever thank you enough. Rock on, goofballs. 🙏🙏🙏
This song always gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes I’m 60 years old now and boys does this bring back memories.
In concert when they got to the slow break the lights would go out with just spots on a mirror ball, stars rotating slowly while he sings about remembering his past.
Take it from an old guy (67) the line about Autumn closing in becomes more intense as the years slip by.
Hollywood Nights should be your next - an absolute banger.
"Working on mysteries without any clues". Ain't that the truth.
I always smile a little in fond reminisce of my awkward youth.
Everything about this. The reaction hit as hard as the song. It’s pure 🔥 and deserves that S. At least my fifth time back to listen again. I’m a boomer so this really digs deep now, with autumn 🍂 closing in. Alex scooby do remark…priceless. Andy almost to tears fist pumping made me tear up. There is no one better than you guys in every way. Thanks 💕
Back when songs like this came out, there was SO much great music that maybe we took it for granted. Now, when the younger people like yourselves listen to it and break down the actual greatness of songs, it gives us old farts a whole new appreciation of what we had. Thanks for what you do, guys.
There’s no feeling in the world like listening to Bob Seger on a hot, humid, small town Michigan summer night.
Frankenmuth, Michigan?
@@HamiltonRb Nope. Other side of the state, by Lake Michigan
@@randytucker8153 I mentioned that town because there is a young band called Greta Van Fleet, you may know of, who come from that town, and got their first big break opening for Bob Seger at the Palace. Have listened to Seger forever and the young band are quite good too
👍 small-town summer nights are the same on the other side of the world Randy 🇮🇪🇺🇲
Seger is the soundtrack, man
And stinking hot humid summer night in QueenslandAustralia
"the level of charisma that was just displayed". YES! That's Bob Seger! What an entertaining reaction. Nice works guys!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot.. you guys are SO young. Appreciate every moment. You have no choice about when you were born, or where, or to whom. And there you are, and you have this great music to frame the arc of life, and I'm just some old guy feeling you in the moment.
I remember the backseat of my 65 galaxy or my 71 Thunderbird.. this song still gives me chills every time I hear it.
The next Bob Seger songs should be, “ Rockin’ Roll Never Forgets”, “Like a Rock”, “Strut”, “We’ve got Tonight”, Hollywood Nights”.
Seconded for all the above
You left out Roll Me Away
"Her Strut" will definitely have the boys smiling :-)
And "We've Got Tonight" will have them tearing up, the same way they got misty here.
I think they should go to Katmandu.
That's really, really where they should be going to.
flnthrn2 Oh yeah! Almost forgot about that great song!
He has the type of voice that women yearn for their men and the voice guys wished they had.
Yep!
Absolutely!!
This was so emotional to watch... that was my boyfriend's favorite song. Unfortunately he passed away in 2005, but any time I hear this song I can't help but smile remembering how much he *loved* listening to this
I remember when this album was released. It was playing everywhere and it reminds me of beautiful summer days
I still am shocked that more people don't request the next Bob Segar song to be "Mainstreet". It has one of the most ICONIC guitar melodies of all time! It's astounding song writing. SUCH a good song. Can't wait for Andy & Alex to hear it!
Pete Carr was amazing coming up with the riff in Mainstreet. #RIP
After their Turn the Page reaction, I think this was a better choice. More rocking.
Agreed. Too many requested for "Old Time Rock & Roll" and "Hollywood Nights". I don't see A&A liking either of those.
Unfortunately, the genius behind that amazing guitar passed away a couple of months ago. Pete Carr was absolutely one of the best ever and he is missed every day in the close knit Shoals area of Norwest Alabama along with Jimmy Johnson and the incredible music machine called Barry Beckett who passed away in 2009. Shoes that can NOT be filled. Two other members of the Swampers, Roger Hawkins and "Little David" Hood, a favorite of the sultry Mavis Staples. Are still around and Hood remains quite active.
It's interesting how when he was young it was summer time... but later... autumn is closing in. It happens surprisingly fast.
Saw him in 1980. Played for 3 hours under the stars in Miami. Opening acts were:
.38 Special, Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet. It was the best concert I’ve ever been to.
Seger was incredible. He left it all on the stage.
What a great line up!
@@Kelacom I was 15 years old, alone at the show; my dad and uncle dropped me off. Bought a few beers from the beer guy and smoked a bag of weed with a dude and his friends that didn’t have rolling papers. I always carried a pack of Big Bambu. Great weed. 4 Big Bambu together colossal stogie! A wonderful memory! Cops were cool with us back in the day at concerts.
Wow!!
@@lisamonderewicz2832 Sorry. Not .38 Special. It was the Rockets that opened that day. Look them up as they had a few good songs.
Ive been driving for almost 40 years and part of every road trip preparation starts with the Bob catalog being packed.
Come to Poppa. Anyone? Underrated classic!
Not underrated in my books. And I'm an independent, liberated woman.
But that one?
Whoosh🔥
That song is filthy, in the best possible way
Oh yeah
and THIS is what I want when I watch reaction videos. THIS.
Night Moves was on the radio all the time when I was in Junior and Senior High and of course I went and bought the album and of course the whole theme of it resonated because that's what you do at that age. But it wasn't until I was much older that I appreciated the true depth and breadth of this song. I kind of had a haunting feeling back then when he said that Autumn was closing in, but once you get older and you've lived a lot of life and you look back on those early explorations, it just all falls into perspective and it's so powerful. What a brilliant song and what an amazing emotional performance, and what a great arrangement.
I love how much Andy was affected by this song. Seeing the genuine reactions and emotions are what I love about you guys and all the other reactors that I watch. :-)
" These geese are trying to fly south for the winter." 😂
Trent Cavalier that made me laugh, I am from Canada, geese actually do fly south from here. Do they fly south from Florida as well?
“What if this song was just about a weather report?” LOL! I love listening to these guys.
As Andy would say-- HAH!!!
I got my first transistor radio when I was 11, the year this song was released. The radio was an ugly shade of green and only picked up AM stations; but it was my window to the world. I used to sleep each night with the radio under my pillow, falling asleep to whatever was playing at the time. Of all the memories of those times, none is more vivid or impactful than my memory of hearing Night Moves - especially the acapella section - in the dead silence of the nighttime. That feeling has never grown old (even though I have).
A Beautiful Classic Song . Can’t get more American than this❤️
It’s universal, my man.
Next Bob Seger....."Fire Down Below", "Rock & Roll Never Forgets", "Hollywood Nights" or "Feel Like A Number". Take your pick, they are all equally saucy! I guarantee an "ORANGE SLICE" on at least two of these.
Mary Lou would be the whole orange
Roll me Away
Of these, I would pick "Fire Down Below" followed by "Hollywood Nights"
Thank you, so few people mention "Feel Like A Number" and it's one of my favs.
Kathmandu, Get Out Of Denver, Lucifer, 2+2=?
Interesting fact:
Bob backed a kid, while still in Detroit, to go to California to play the LA music circuit. That kid hooked up with another kid from Texas, who was backed by Kenny Rogers.
Bob's protege was Glenn Frey. Kenny's protege was Don Henley.
Two fine songwriters and singers as well. They both give me chills with their music.
I wouldn't really frame the Seger-Frey relationship that way. They were born only three years apart. Their friendship and influence is well documented, as the two often hung out together in LA during the 1970s. In fact, Seger is given partial songwriting credit for the song "Heartache Tonight."
The story I remember hearing on the King Biscuit Flour Hour was that Seger came up with "We can beat around the bushes, you can get down to the bone, We can leave it in the parking lot but anyway there's gonna (long O) be" a Heartache tonight.....
thx for the info. Always thought Henley wrote songs in a style similar to Seger
❤️❤️❤️
Been listening to "Night Moves" 46 yrs.. since '76....just as great as the first time hearing it.
That was far and away your best reaction .... as I type with tears still in my eyes.
For my money, the best of Bob is "Roll me away" and "Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser". The second two on the Live Bullet album have to be appreciated together as everyone from that generation did 45 years ago...or so.
Definitely Roll Me Away!!
This song is still relevant in 2020. Straight up one of the most beautiful songs ever written. The piano, the acoustic riffs, the vocals, the backup vocals, all perfectly arranged. You dont get that in modern music
; it's a shame.
Spot on, nailed it mate.
There aren’t enough “ya ya ya”’s in music anymore. So jealous you got to hear that for the first time. One of my top 10 all-time best songs, and my husband’s all-time number one favorite song. Brings me back to high school. Thanks for the ride down memory lane. 🥃🎸🎸🎸🎧
“What if it’s about a weather report?” Just took me by storm 😩😯🤔 the potential for interpretation of these heartscraped lyrics are endless
Hollywood Nights is a good one. Main Street, Sunspot Baby is a personal favorite of mine..theyre all great songs.
seconded for Hollywood Nights, and Main Street (Sorry, Sunspot Baby was good, but not favorite of mine)
@@Leon-wz1js Its a girl thing lol
@@JenaOhJena Fair enough
@@Leon-wz1js 💙
“...with points of her own, setting way up high.....WAY UP, FIRM AND HIGH”
Never paid much attention, but once I heard it, I can never unhear it. Those days....
Can you see how many times I've watched this... Fav reaction and last S given
You know I'm almost 60 years old so I've actually heard this song my entire life. I've always known it was great and it is in my top three favorite Bob Seger songs, but being in Michigan girl everybody Bob Seger song is worthy. Loving this song is not unusual, but if you're from Michigan and especially Northern michigan, what you don't realize is the emotion when he's talking about summer. That brings on a lot of emotions for a northern person because everything changes when summer is over
Great voice, music and writing that gives insight to the Midwest sensibility as Lynard Skynard did for the South. This song is sexy as hell. I think many a young man had this fantasy.
For us ladies? "You'll accompany me" is what we want to hear from our true loves, and "Come to Poppa" is what we want to hear from Bob.
Must listen next:
MAIN STREET
MAIN STREET
MAIN STREET
You'll thank me later. ✌
LegionOfBarry Great song. I love the studio version but I prefer the Nine Tonight version. Alto’s sax really makes it.
Two other songs come to mind when I hear this: "The River" by Bruce Springsteen, and "Running on Empty" by Jackson Browne
I’ve come back to this reaction time and again. What a phenomenal reaction! Wish I knew who to contact so Bob could actually enjoy you guys react to this. As you get older you will hear these lyrics in a whole new way. An older man in the autumn of his life looking back at his summer. You should hit him up again. Maybe Katmamdu
Alex has goosebumps. Andy squirming in his chair 3 different times, thinking the song had ended too early. I feel like I need to hand each of you a damp washcloth! You have both experienced a sublime masterpiece.
Pretty sure that's Andy's in bed face.
I’ve heard this song many times, but this time I realized it starts out sounding like a John Mellancamp sound, and ends sounding like a Van Morrison song. Anyone else hear what I’m hearing?
yes you got it exactly you are right
Never thought if it, but now that you said it, I can hear it!
This is the third time I’ve watched your reaction and it gets better every time. I feel privileged to have watched your baptism into Seger,
