HUGE catalog for Bob Seger, and a ton of charting hits. "Like a Rock", "Against the Wind", "Night Moves", "Hollywood Nights", "Mainstreet"...could go on and on. In fact, if you watch commercials on TV, you may even recognize one of the above.
And the most loved song of Bob segars is we got tonight. The last concert I was at with Bob Segar and he sang that song every lighter in the room was lit. He is a legend and metallic will never ever be able to match Bob Segar.
Michigan boomer here. I remember seeing Bob Seger in a little bar in Marine City in 1973. Was great even then. Saw him again in Port Huron when I was expecting my son in 1976. Even better. Never get tired of his music. ❤
In 73 he was still searching for a backing band. He was just playing locally at that time with various musicians until he was able to put together the Silver Bullet Band which was a handful of musicians out of Detroit. By 76 they had hit their stride as a group and why it was 'even better.'.
One of Michigan's favorite sons.❤ The line about "is it a woman or a man?" Back in early 70s rockers and their long hair was counter culture to the straight lace small town communities in which they traveled. Different times.
For the longest time I thought the lyric was "the same old cliche of a woman on her man". Meaning that he hates the grind of touring but he also loves it too much to quit. I was 17 years old at the time so you'll have to forgive my stupidity.
You claim his voice was ahead of his time?!?! This is 1973! He fit PERFECTLY with all the other PHENOMENAL MUSICIANS we grew up with!! This QUALITY is what was expected! Stories! Vocals! Guitars! Drums! All of it! It was our Life❣️
1. Like a rock 2. Night moves 3. Main street 4. Old time rock and roll. Bob walked away from his career when he was on top. He said he wanted to go home and raise his children. He came back and is touring. I have so much respect for him ☮️
@@tazjammer yep for sure! I saw him at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1976 with about 70,000+ on hand. I’ve seen him seven times after that. Truly a legend especially if you grew up in Michigan. I love him and all the members who ever played with him dearly. I think it would be pretty hard pressed to find a bad song that he’s ever done.
Bob is a Master story teller and a poet of the first order. He is a consummate rocker, but my favorite emotional song is NIGHT MOVES where he looks at the arc of his life. A banger.
Saw Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band when they came to the old Boston Garden back in 1980. Me and some high school buds drove in and experienced the best concert I'd ever seen and ever will see. We got Bob and band to come out for 3 encores and gave them a standing ovation for 20 minutes after they left the stage the final time (until the Garden crew got on the PA and said they would start arresting people if we didn't leave!). Bob is the BEST!
Growing up in Michigan and within an hour of his home in the Detroit area, my dad always told me stories of watching him at a local pavilion for free, then one day they heard him on the radio and from there he went nationwide and the rest was history. Also his saxophone players name is Alto Reed
Yes, oh, on the road as a traveling musician --- reflection, yes. Good kick ass songs and more, Night Moves = young first times learning about each other's bodies, and your own. and those mentioned by Kevin Chalk here. No one like him.
Great song, from a great singer. Bob Seger has a voice that lots of men wished they could have. Imagine how hard it is to make an audience feel compassion for a rock star - but he manages to do it. Anyone who has lived life on the road can understand where he's coming from. Also, the band is just flawless her. Saxophone - big impact. Flute, adds another layer of coolness. Drums/cymbals, just spot on. Keyboard - understated punctuation.
It would have been good watching Sebs with his reaction to this song, IF only he would ACTUALLY listen without talking during this song OR at least paused the video to talk, OR MAYBE waited until the song was finished to speak.
Bob Seger-my fav all time singer, songwriter! Saw him when he was a “long hair” & all the way to when he was gray, just a few years ago. He was as good the last time as he was the first time. A true legend. Gotta check out his Roll Me Away-my second fav Seger track. And the fantastic sax player, Alto Reed (seriously!) just died a couple years ago. ❤❤❤
I loved Bob Seger singing duets with Martina McBride - they were awesome together! They recorded some of the music fro movie , " Hope Floats" good movie!
Deep, deep rabbit hole here. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band are legendary. Against The Wind, Katmandu, Fire Down Below, Strut, Main Street, Hollywood Nights,Like a Rock,We've Got Tonight, Fire Lake and of course NIght Moves.
Bob Seeger performed at my high school dances in early 1970s. Glenn Frey, of the Eagles, graduated from my high school in the late 60's. Royal Oak, Michigan, just a step outside of Detroit , Rock and Motown. Bob worked hard and was on the road all the time. Driving from Detroit to Florida, non stop. Do a couple gigs, drive straight to Detroit. That was a weekend for him and the band. 24 hour drive one way. 24 hour drive straight home. No money for a hotel. They slept in the car and took turns driving .
Bob Seger retired from touring. I got to see him twice on his retirement tour. You will recognize some of his music from commercials (Like a rock) for Chevy trucks, and movies (Old time rock & roll from Risky Business, the famous Tom Cruise scene dancing in his underwear) and the theme song (Shakedown) from Beverly Hills Cop 2. Also, the Metallica cover of Turn the Page is really good.
Bob Seger he is a Rocker !!! He was good friends with Glenn Frey of the Eagles...He knows how to put on a great show !!! Metallica (heavy metal) even did a remake of 1 of Bob's song...Bob Seger is a classic...!!!🎶🎶🎶🎸😎🥰❤️✨✨✨
Sebs, my goodness you have missed so much music. Take it from a 69 year old woman who grew up in a musical family who likes all kinds of music. So glad to see someone your age catching up on music history. And enjoying it. Great!
Most of Bob Seger's music is always about his life as a musician or his past. Either his music touches your heart, or your soul, or you have no idea what he's singing about.
I'm a little behind. But I grew up on Bob Seger. He was a local boy from Detroit in the late 60's and played on CKLW AM. He recently sang this song with Jason Al Dean in a duet. He has many albums out all great. Seek them out. You will be amazed.
This song by Bob Seger “Turn The Page”, I believe he is letting people know what the REALITY is of his career, his touring, performing. He enjoys his career, BUT, it is not always “glamorous”.
The older the Seger the better. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen this man live. Mostly in the 70's and 80's. Then I got busy raising kids and doing life. Lol
One of my favorite Seger songs. He was huge when I was a little kid. My big brother had his albums along with all the great 60s rock. My brother put me in charge of taking care of his albums while he was in Nam. Told me he'd be mad at me if they were messed up "when he came back." It helped me cope with him being gone and it shaped my musical taste for life. Thankfully he came back but he wasn't the same person.
Grew up listening to Bob Seger…one of the best moments of my life was getting front row tickets for my mom and I to his ‘roll me away’ farewell tour in 2019. Her and my (now deceased) dad saw him live for the original ‘roll me away’ tour. …that sax, though…😍
He did "Like A Rock" after he had surgery for throat cancer...they figured he'd never sing again...just the best "Old Time Rock n Roll" is one EVERYBODY knows Dane
Just did a search of Bob Seger on your channel here in 2024. Can't believe this is the only song of his you've listened to. Here's a recommendation, if you want an idea of what he sounded like in concert. Travelin Man/Beautiful Loser from the Live Bullet album. He has a huge music catalog, dive in. You won't be disappointed.
In the beginning he had super long hair and stupid people would ask if he was a man or a woman when he walked in to hick bars. That's what he was referring to. This is a song about his life on the road in the beginning of his career. Love everything Bob Seger has sung! One of my favorite artists.
bob Seager knew he had it, the rasp in that voice. It takes pure confidence talent. And maturity to leave it the last 10 fifteen second in the song to show it.
He was incredible in concert-both times I saw him he got 5+ minute standing ovations after this song. The guy who plays the sax had a shiney 5’ tall sax and the solos were incredible. Check out “Roll Me Away” and “Nutbush City Limits”, which is actually a Tina Turner song. Seger is a classic and part of the soundtrack of a lot of our lives…
Bob Seger...had tickets to see him in Houston, Tx in the late 70's but, got hit by a car that ran a red light. I was on the back of a Harley, Still have my ticket. Seger was the man, couldn't go in a bar that had a jukebox, and NOT have Segers' songs' on it. Turn the Page is one of many great songs by Bob Seger.
Bob is a Motor City Legend! He has so many classics. Went to Nashville and went bar hoping. Paid every band to play one of his songs and never heard the same song twice.
I grew up in the Detroit suburbs. A lot of great music comes from there, Aretha Franklin, Bob Seger, Kid Rock, Eminem Alice Cooper, but Bob Seger is my favorite.
200 shows a year for almost 40 years. He's a legend.
And to think Seger only had 1#1hit song Shake Down, Underrated Indeed!
We boomers really did have the best music from late 50’s to mid 80’s.
@@chikinawk844
No one is cooler than Bob Seger
Go down this rabbit hole. You will not be disappointed .
Cant go wrong with any Seger song
SO TRUE.
No truer statement.
True!

discography
I heard him say that he made more money on the commercial with
Like a Rock. Than for his entire discography
that happens when a company uses your song for 13 years@@roryschweinfurter4111
@@roryschweinfurter4111yeah, but inflation. Still, that sucks.

He doesn't just sound like classic R&R, he IS classic R&R!
correct
Old Time Rock and Roll says this 75 yr old grandma!!
Bob Seger is such a Legend! Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
Being from Michigan, I grew up with this man, what a velvet voice. Rocked us out!

@@John_Locke_108 If you didn't live through those times, it would be hard to understand them like us boomers do.
Signs would read Longhair freaky people need not apply.
Forgot about that snarky comment guys with crew cuts used to make about long haired guys. They always used to think they were so clever saying that!
I have to say the Boomers had the best music. Nothing was auto tuned. Everything was real talent.
What a concept!!!! Today's " musicians " could learn a thing or two.
Saw him a couple yrs ago still killing it
You claim his voice was ahead of his time?!?! This is 1973! He fit PERFECTLY with all the other PHENOMENAL MUSICIANS we grew up with!! This QUALITY is what was expected! Stories! Vocals! Guitars! Drums! All of it! It was our Life❣️
1. Like a rock

3. Main street
4. Old time rock and roll.

Get out of Denver and Sunspot Baby.
If you've ever saw a Chevy truck commercial with the song "Like A Rock" playing, you've heard him sing.
or if you’ve seen “Risky Business”-Old Time Rock ‘n Roll
Bob has one of the deepest catalogues in music…and he still is touring.
My favorite is: “We’ve Got Tonight”
I absolutely love that song
I like em all! But I really love Come to Poppa and Sunspot Baby.
Legend! unfortunately he is no longer touring. After his sax player died he said he was done.
@@jleahy9025 - that was 2 years ago. He will be doing a “Farewell Tour” in 2023.
Hollywood Nights and Down on Mainstreet
Bob Seger’s “Live Bullet” album probably one of the greatest of all time. It would will be worth a listen.
Cobo Hall!
@@tazjammer yep for sure! I saw him at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1976 with about 70,000+ on hand. I’ve seen him seven times after that. Truly a legend especially if you grew up in Michigan.

That's exactly what I say
I have it on vinyl
@billwalker7556
It's better on cd because you can hear every note and lyric at 11 out of 10 one the volume knob
Bob is a Master story teller and a poet of the first order. He is a consummate rocker, but my favorite emotional song is NIGHT MOVES where he looks at the arc of his life. A banger.
This is the only song to play at 2:00am as you’re closing down a bar.
Bob Seger is the voice of a generation.
This is a fantastic rabbit hole to dive into. I've loved this song as long as I remember liking music.
Seger's old time rock and roll saved us from disco!
And I thank the good Lord every day for it.
Here's ultimate respect.... Metallica did a cover of this song. Yeah, he's legend.
Seen him in concert great concert, my favorite part was when the lights went out and the saxophone started playing in the darkness
I can put on any track from the Live Bullet album today and instantly be transported back to my youth. Bob Seger is part of the tapestry of my life.
Mine too
I've had 9Live Bullets on 8 track and 8or 9 on cassette!
The guitar riff from Seger’s “Mainstreet” is legendary from Muscle Shoals Swamper Pete Carr.
Saw Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band when they came to the old Boston Garden back in 1980. Me and some high school buds drove in and experienced the best concert I'd ever seen and ever will see. We got Bob and band to come out for 3 encores and gave them a standing ovation for 20 minutes after they left the stage the final time (until the Garden crew got on the PA and said they would start arresting people if we didn't leave!).

I am a few years older than you but wanted to remark that the older I get, the more precious my beautiful memories of my youth become.
Growing up in Michigan and within an hour of his home in the Detroit area, my dad always told me stories of watching him at a local pavilion for free, then one day they heard him on the radio and from there he went nationwide and the rest was history.
Also his saxophone players name is Alto Reed
Coolest sax player name ever!
Alto Reed (born Thomas Neal Cartmell, May 16, 1948 - December 30, 2020)
ALTO REED was a stage name ! Not his real name
Yes, oh, on the road as a traveling musician --- reflection, yes. Good kick ass songs and more, Night Moves = young first times learning about each other's bodies, and your own. and those mentioned by Kevin Chalk here. No one like him.
He has a Massive Hit called Old Time Rock and Roll!!!
Featured in the movie Risky Business with Tom Cruise.
To this day there has never been another one like Bob Seger. Brilliant
Bob Seger, Turn the page, best song ever
He wrote this song while traveling from a performance in Dubuque, Iowa, to his next spot, in Omaha, Nebraska. Right through my neck of the woods.
Great song, from a great singer. Bob Seger has a voice that lots of men wished they could have. Imagine how hard it is to make an audience feel compassion for a rock star - but he manages to do it.

Thanks Sebs! I grew up listening to Bob Seger, so this was a wonderful walk down memory lane. 😊
As a boomer I can’t even imagine someone not hearing of Bob Seger! You’re in for a treat.

Kudos for listening - but if you've never heard Bob Seger there's a hugh hole in our musical life.
Legend! That is all. ❤
You HAVE to listen to him singing "Like a Rock." Story of a guy thinking about his life starting as a teen.
MR. SEGER is a legend young man .good reaction
The golden age of music I was lucky to grow up in. Never again will there be music so good

Truly one of the greatest artist ever. Should listen to old time rock n roll and like a rock by him
Bob Seger is a Rock and Roll Icon!!! His songs are so awesome, you can't go wrong!!!
Bob Seager THE BEST EVER. Turn the page my favorite ❤❤❤

This song by Bob Seger “Turn The Page”, I believe he is letting people know what the REALITY is of his career, his touring, performing. He enjoys his career, BUT, it is not always “glamorous”.
Roll Me Away, Horizontal Bop, Betty Lou, Feel Like a Number, Hollywood Nights, Katmandu and so many more.
Bob was a mentor to Glen Fry when he was a teenager
My favorite Bob Seger song ...turn the page
Glenn Frey of The Eagles got his start singing background vocals for Bob Seger, Seger also helped write one of the Eagles' hits Heartache Tonight

song is about the tough road for a performer Day after day, concert after concert The grind
Saw Bob MANY times in Miami...1970's..
He was ALWAYS GREAT!
I'm so happy I grew up in the 70's and 80's, music was so good.
He's a legend! Should really get the Nobel Prize for literature. Please do more..
Love seger. One of the best. This is probably my favorite song by him. Love all of his songs though
This one and Old Time Rock n Roll are my two favourite Seger songs. He's a GEM.
Seen him 4 times in 40 years! Love him
Bob Seger...had tickets to see him in Houston, Tx in the late 70's but, got hit by a car that ran a red light. I was on the back of a Harley, Still have my ticket.

Ever heard Queen
Bohemian Rhapsody
ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!
Bob is a Motor City Legend! He has so many classics. Went to Nashville and went bar hoping. Paid every band to play one of his songs and never heard the same song twice.
Dude the Bob Seger catalog is one of the greatest in rock history, this is definitely a rabbit hole to dive into
Bob Seger's Night Moves is one of my favorite songs ever!
1960s and 70s music was what we grew up with back when America was still America!!!
This is the rock I grew up with. Back then it wasn't classic rock, it was just rock because it was new. I didn't appreciate it then, but I do now.
Oh! Comments here reminded me how I loved/love the kickass "Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight" and "Her Strut" !!!!!
I grew up in the Detroit suburbs. A lot of great music comes from there, Aretha Franklin, Bob Seger, Kid Rock, Eminem Alice Cooper, but Bob Seger is my favorite.
He was Americas voice for quite a long time. Probably made 400- 500 million bucks in his career. He knew what he was singing about...he knew for sure.
This tune is awesome. The opening sax solo is timeless!. The piano and Seger's voice is so powerful.
Sebs react to.
"Like a rock".
Thank me later
Yep!
In 1969 his song Ramblin Gamblin Man was on the Juke Box at the 7 Seas in downtown San Diego . I played it everytime I was there.
My favorite Seger song is Old Time Rock n Roll.
Where have you been? The greatest singer/songwriter ever! :)
