I always tell people that he doesn't have a single bad song! Even his cover songs are just as good as the originals, and he usually puts a little of his own mustard on them to make them his own.
@@bishlap It's the words he chooses to get the thought across. In my opinion and the opinion of many others that line is freaking genius. It doesn't hit you the same way and maybe never will, but maybe one day you'll appreciate it more.
The most Late 1970s thing I ever did: drive a rental car into the Hollywood Hills while playing this song on cassette, all by myself, on one of my first business trips. Little girl from South Carolina feeling on top of the world. What a memory.
Lol! I can relate. Drove a convertible up into the Hollywood Hills in the early 90's as the sun was setting. Just don't recall the music at the time but let's just pretend it was Seger! ✌
@brucedillinger9448 I actually experienced this song playing on the radio while driving through the Hollywood Hills in the mid-90s. And I'm from Bob's hometown, Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was in a rented sedan, but nevertheless, that shit was mystical.
“Night moves” is my all time favorite. Another great guitar riff in this also. “Shame on the moon” is a close second. Bob’s my favorite artist, so anything will be good as you both know by now. But the two I mention, imo, you will absolutely love!
Your next Seger song should be "Shame On The Moon." It was actually #2 for the YEAR on the COUNTRY chart back in the day, only behind WIllie Nelson's "Always On My Mind."
What I love is that the two of you which seems like some good people that apprieciate(sp.) some good older music. I really dig '70's music best I think.
Thannks so much for reacting to the great Bob Seger. He has not had a bad song. He is the real deal and I love that so many of his songs make you want to hit the road for a road trip. Great reaction to a great singer and band. 👏👏❤️🇨🇦
You’ve Got To List To His Song : NIGHT MOVES Oh it’s so good, great guitar sound and his great voice!!! I love all of his songs but Night Moves is my favorite!!!
They did "Night Moves" 2 years ago. It's pretty much the first Seger song anyone hits. Of course they did it. What you should do is dig out "20 Years from Now", which IMO is a much better song. It's what "Night Moves" wishes it was. JMO
Please provide a link to their reacting to "Night Moves," @@Jessica_Roth. I searched UA-cam, and I searched within the RSR channel, and it didn't show up for either. In the results for the former, I found two other reaction channels' videos to the song. In the results for the latter, 15 other Bob Seger songs showed up. With these two things, I find it unlikely that their reaction to "Night Moves" has been blocked.
I don’t think they’ve done Night Moves ….I watch them three times a day… haven’t seen them do it… and others have requested it too…unless it’s on their paying channel??
@@susanliltz3875 It came up in the search I did last night. As I say it was 2+ years ago, so may have been before you watched the song. Searching YT for "rob squad seger" will find all their videos (unless they have been taken down)
I remember playing my dad's album over and over. What a great era for music. And Bob just always takes my memory to summers and a time unfortunately gone.
Bob is Classic Rock. My mom's favorite song was "Still the Same." It's the first Seger tune I ever learned on guitar, and it was just for her. Now...are y'all EVER gonna listen to Van Halen again??
I've suggested this one so many times. So far, no luck-fingers crossed. It comes from a movie that I think they both would enjoy starring Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick, Jr, Hope Floats...
Yes, indeed, right out the gates it's adrenaline bust...the only time it simmers is a little between versus. I mean we gotta catch our breath for God's sake. Seger is a gem.
Thanx for this classic track from my misspent youth. I saw him live once and even though I was near the back of the arena, it felt like I was three rows back in a small club. A great night that brought back many memories.
From the live bullet album traveling man oh yeah traveling man After a dive gets done with tramp of malakos ride and the beautiful loser watches a good song You get in a combo hair😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
The live bullet album is excellent. It's like it says it's a live performances. You can do traveling man and got a combo without going through the drive through😅😅😅😅😅
Don't forget to get your combo, just order up. A travel in man by Bob Seger bob seger. Doing a traveling man from the live bullet. How? Yeah? You get beautiful loser I both like both
Bob Seger was inspired to write this song when he saw supermodel Cheryl Tiegs on the cover of a magazine. The whole story formed in his mind instantly. I remember buying this album as soon as it came out. It was his follow-up to Night Moves. I have been a fan of his since the first time I heard Turn the page off of the live bullet album. And I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert several times. Even managed to sneak in backstage with my best friend once at the Nassau Coliseum when we were both in high school. Didn't get to meet him but saw a glimpse of him driving away in the limo! Genre? Roots Rock
Ive seen Bob Seger in concert 8 times over the decades and hes top 5 in concert experience and ive seen everyone from Zeppelin to Bob Marley. If you know you know.
Bob Seger was responsible for a huge part of the soundtrack of my youth. Even though he has sold millions of albums, toured the world multiple times and is in the R&R Hall of Fame I still think he’s underrated.
Oh yes!!! But don’t go driving while listening to this one , Bob gave his friend a copy of this song when he first recorded it and his friend listened to it as he was driving and he said all of a sudden he looked at the speedometer and saw he was doing over 80 , the beat got him going!!
You mentioned his music is the Ultimate traveling music. To me this song is like a Steam Train speeding down the tracks. The snare drum sounds like the wheels of the Train clicking on the rails. I read, that Seger gave someone he knew a tape of this song before it was released. The guy was driving on the freeway in Los Angeles and started listening to the song, he said that without realizing it, he looked at his speedometer, and he was going 80 miles an hour. The song has that effect!
Yeah, he's definitely at the top of his storytelling game on this song. It's just one awesome line after another. "She had born with a face that would let her get her way. He saw that face and he lost all control."
@cameronpickard7456 Yes! Because he doesn't mean physically. He's talking about mentally or maybe even spiritually home. Yeah, that line gets me every time.
From Songtext & Bob himself: "The chorus to this song came into my head one night In 1977 as I was driving through the Hollywood Hills. Our drummer, David Teegarden, played an entire set of drums as we recorded and overdubbed another entire set of drums playing a different pattern. In other words, there's two sets of everything: Snare, kick drum, hi-hat, etc. Billy Payne (of Little Feat) sat in with us for the first time, and played the last two instruments, piano and organ. When he was done, he asked for a tape to listen to on the way home. He called me the next day and said while he'd been listening, he looked down and found himself going 100 miles an hour on the freeway."
My favorite song by him. To me, his music is a road trip by myself, driving the freeway at night. Window down and the cool air hitting me in the face. All his music is that to me.
The drums are 2 complete drumset parts played on top of each other - if you really zero in one each ear of your headphones you can hear the 2 different hi hat parts going on. Also, the repetitive single then double snare hits were intended to simulate driving over expansion joints in the road which you don't run into very often anymore.
You two have lasted the longest as far as folks that I've enjoyed watching reactions. Two people that are clearly in love with each other. Two people opening their eyes father than most do. Thank you.
Thank you for making me smile. Bob Seger reminds me of carefree teenage summers- and yes -singing at the top of our lungs in cars - heading to the beach- with windows down. Definitely driving music! You have to do Night Moves next. A couple of others are Still the One and Rock n Roll Never Forgets. I saw that another subscriber mentioned The Eagles. They are a Must!!! Truly another supergroup that started in the 70’s. Hotel California is a very cool song. They have so many like Take it Easy and Already Gone - their early hits - and Best of My Love , One of these Nights, Life in the Fast Lane, and 100 more once we get started! The Eagles had 6 number 1 albums and you will both like them. You have already reacted to Glenn Frey and Don Henley who started their solo careers after they made it big with the Eagles. Love what you do!
@@mperezmcfinn2511 David Teegarden is the drummer for the original recording on Stranger In Town album - I saw Bob live 13 times - the first in '77 and the last in 2019, two weeks before his final retirement tour show in Philly - No one brought it live like Bob did back in the day!! First time I saw him was right after Live Bullet was released and it was just like being there when that album was recorded!! If you have never listened to it from start to finish, do it!!
Beautiful people! Such a joy to watch your reactions, but this one really showcased your smiles and pure joy! My wife and I love who you are, even though we are much older and have never met you guys. Bob is the best of the blue eyed soul singers. Amber stated his lyrics and stories are really great and I agree with her. Springsteen, John Melloncamp and many other contemporary singer/ songwriters are brilliant, but Seger is unique!
Saw Bob live in Detroit in 1978. He rocked the house when they did Hollywood Nights. The crowd was loud & nuts all the way through it. Absolutely killed it!!!
Almost forgot; if you want a different side of Bob Seger check out his duet with Martina McBride; the song is “Chances Are” from the soundtrack of the movie “Hope Floats”.❤❤❤
I love, love, love Night Moves, but this is my fave of his. LA is so full of hope, beauty, glamor, desperation and longing and they all exist together like a soup … “He knew right then he was too far from home” just captures all of it. Also, YOU KNOW HE MUST HAVE LIVED THIS SONG!!! just timeless and fantastic.
"Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser" is my favorite of Bob Seger, saw him several times in concert, he has so many great hits! Another good one is "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man."
Now this is a man with TALENT! I love listening to Bob Seger, the man, the myth, the legend! His music is immortal, and is enjoyable no matter what you're doing. Thanks for playing this, Rob Squad! You never can go wrong with this man!
My favorite Bob Seger memory was going to see him and the Silver Bullet Band with a group of my high school friends in the summer between our junior and senior years in June 1980. He was at the height of his popularity and we were in Heaven. It was awesome!
If you haven't, you have to listen to his Night Moves and Still the Same and Shame on the Moon and You'll Accompany Me and Rock and Roll Never Forgets and of course one of his earliest, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man.
This is my husband and I. He moved from Detroit in 1977 to San Francisco where he met me, California girl. Forty three years later, we are in Detroit. You never know where life takes you. Thanks Bob for the memories.
he isn't lying. a night from Venice beach to the holly hills, the Grifith observatory to Turnbull canyon it gets u every time. its beautiful the vibe all night.
Bob Seger is in a genre all his own. Much like many groups of the 70s, Silver Bullet has a unique sound. See, back then we didn't really classify music into genres. Either you liked it or you didn't. You could literally go from Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty to The Eagles on the same station and nobody cared. If you didn't like what was playing you just waited and soon something you did like would be on. Bread, Boston, BTO, to Kiss to Steve Miller to Carly Simon... it was all good
Awesome Tune!!! You can't go wrong with ANY of his Songs!!! My godfather looks just like him, as a kid I always thought he was him, and he always played along like he was... Many, Many great memories from This Master!! Still my favorite singer of all time, listen to him daily...
I've been waiting for you to get to Hollywood Nights. I'm pretty sure you'll both love it, It was written because he wanted something upbeat and fun to open his concerts with. Mission accomplished, I'd say. Seger is in a class with only a few other acts.
One of my favorite lines is from this song, I use it when my grand daughter, age 5, wraps me around her little finger,. "she was born with a face that will let her get away"
His live album “Nine Tonight” is full of classic,classic rock. Each song a timeless gem. Each song surpassing its studio original. The perfect roadtrip album. On the way home, you could always groove on “Live Bullet.” Those two albums are a true anthology of greatest hits. These live versions of these songs are the preferred bill of fare for any classic rock station playing Seger.
3:53 sometimes his music is referred to as heartland rock (whatever that means) but it’s really just straight-ahead rock and roll without any fancy s**t. Incidentally, Bob Seger is a big fan of soul music. He would often cover soul songs that were put out by Hi Records - that’s the label Al Green was on before Al turned to gospel music.
J and his genres. smh Just call it rock n' roll! LOL For those of us who grew up listening to Seger, he's the foundation of our rock experience. I think that's especially strong for those of us from Michigan. He's the godfather of Detroit rock n' roll. I don't think he's ever made a bad song.
@@justjulesinmi eh, it ain’t J’s fault. Most of these genres were made up by journalists describing the music. In fact some words we now use to describe certain genres, like rap, actually predate the music they now describe. For example, jazz organist Brother Jack McDuff had a record out called Moon Rapping. “Rap” here just refers to a way of talking.
Greetings Jay and Amber Yes this is quite the song by Bob Seger. This is the ONLY song Seger claims to have gotten the inspiration out of nowhere while driving around. At the time he was renting a place in the Hollywood Hills. The lyrics, "Hollywood Nights / Hollywood Hills / Above all the lights / Hollywood Nights" came into his head and had to turn car around to write them down and not forget. He could even imagine how his backup vocal singers would be singing their part. Once he got back home, he saw the Time magazine cover with Cheryl Tiegs on it and decided to make the song about a Midwest guy that meets a girl like that. The drummer on this track was David Teegarden (oddly enough) from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Billboard mag described it as "a gut crunching rocker with all the stops pulled out", reaching 12 on their chart within a few weeks of release. "A solid rocker about a Hollywood romance" was the review of another critic at the time. Songs like this keep proving (overall) that the most nostalgic, appreciated, enjoyed, and all-out hits came between the years of 1975 and about 1995. More 'Hits', "Bangers", "Chart Toppers", "Award Winning", "Solid Hits", "Greatest Hits", etc. came during this 20 yr. period than any other, so far. Furthermore, it happened across all the genres of music.
Love, love, love, Bob Seeger. Love Night moves and Sunspot Baby. I've seen as many concerts as I can. He's rock and roll. His voice is awesome! Thanks for this!✌️
Great story Amber!! Midwestern boy meets a sparkled up Cali girl….;) If Bob was a painter, his paintings would be priceless! His songs paint a picture that sneaks into your soul and makes you feel all they lyrics. His lyrics bring greater meaning the older you get too, they bring you back to your younger days. Like a rock and night moves are just a couple that take me back.
Bob was very good friends with Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Glen was from Royal Oak, Michigan while Bob grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the late 70's Bob spent a lot of time in the LA/Hollywood area. Recorded in 1978: "Seger said "The chorus just came into my head; I was driving around in the Hollywood Hills, and I started singing 'Hollywood nights/Hollywood hills/Above all the lights/Hollywood nights.' I went back to my rented house, and there was a Time with Cheryl Tiegs on the cover...I said 'Let's write a song about a guy from the Midwest who runs into someone like this and gets caught up in the whole bizarro thing.'"
Bob Seger is timeless. Can never go wrong with him
AMEN!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
meeeeeeh
I always tell people that he doesn't have a single bad song! Even his cover songs are just as good as the originals, and he usually puts a little of his own mustard on them to make them his own.
Fact!
Like a rock? 😆
"She had been born with a face that would let her get her way" is one of thegreatest lines I've ever heard.
She looked at him with those soft eyes so innocent and blue he knew right then he was too far from home great line
I'm with you. Amazing line unlike anything anybody else has ever written.
@@lisarousseau788 Incredible too.
eh, not exactly groundbreaking.
@@bishlap It's the words he chooses to get the thought across. In my opinion and the opinion of many others that line is freaking genius. It doesn't hit you the same way and maybe never will, but maybe one day you'll appreciate it more.
The most Late 1970s thing I ever did: drive a rental car into the Hollywood Hills while playing this song on cassette, all by myself, on one of my first business trips. Little girl from South Carolina feeling on top of the world. What a memory.
Lol! I can relate. Drove a convertible up into the Hollywood Hills in the early 90's as the sun was setting. Just don't recall the music at the time but let's just pretend it was Seger! ✌
I was walking down Sunset one night on vacation, with a couple friends. A cab pulled over to let someone out. This song was playing. Great timing
@brucedillinger9448 I actually experienced this song playing on the radio while driving through the Hollywood Hills in the mid-90s. And I'm from Bob's hometown, Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was in a rented sedan, but nevertheless, that shit was mystical.
Way to live! Great memory!🚘🎶
that's so cool
Bob Seger never, ever disappoints. You will also like 'Rock n Roll Never Forgets' and 'Her Strut.'
@sam-zm5zwyou can come back baby, rock and roll never forgets!
Her Strut was about Jane Fonda.
@@nitwitt50 ugh. I no longer like "strut."
Bob seger- Come to Poppa! Let's have some fun guys!
“Night moves” is my all time favorite. Another great guitar riff in this also. “Shame on the moon” is a close second. Bob’s my favorite artist, so anything will be good as you both know by now. But the two I mention, imo, you will absolutely love!
Your next Seger song should be "Shame On The Moon." It was actually #2 for the YEAR on the COUNTRY chart back in the day, only behind WIllie Nelson's "Always On My Mind."
💯!!!!! Gotta do Shame on the Moon ❤please
I came here to say that very thing. 😊
Rodney crowell covered it,
Rodney Crowell wrote Shame on the Moon. I recommend giving him a listen if you like good stuff.
Rodney Crowell wrote it
Saw Bob twice and nobody could make it sound like you were listening to the album like him. You always got your money’s worth!
You just can't get better than Bob Seger. I've done all Seger road trips, it's phenomenal! Thanks for doing more Bob
Can’t go wrong with Bob! He’s great!❤❤
Listen to Night Moves. Great song.
What I love is that the two of you which seems like some good people that apprieciate(sp.) some good older music. I really dig '70's music best I think.
Jay &Amber, you'll love his "Rock And Roll Never Forgets" and "Night Moves" !!!
probably my favorite bob seger song. thanks for the reaction.
Yeah brother bob my brother bob he could do
They got a album called the live bullet

I love all of his songs but Night Moves is my favorite!!!
They did "Night Moves" 2 years ago. It's pretty much the first Seger song anyone hits. Of course they did it.

My second favorite Bob Seger song ever! Behind Night Moves. Love you guys.
Gotta do Night Moves, even if you heard parts of song, not likely you’ve seen the video.
1 Night Moves 2 Main Street 3 Hollywood Nights 4 We got tonight 5 Like a Rock
I remember playing my dad's album over and over. What a great era for music. And Bob just always takes my memory to summers and a time unfortunately gone.
It's pure rock n roll.
Shame On The Moon, The Real Love, and You'll Acompany Me are needed reactions by Bob Seger❤❤❤
Every Bob Seger song is a needed reaction
I think they already reacted to "You'll Accompany Me"...
Good ones..but where is " Main Street "?
@@UncagedSavage I think they did that one already
@@Deborahtunes don't see it in their reactions...🤷🤷
Bob is Classic Rock. My mom's favorite song was "Still the Same." It's the first Seger tune I ever learned on guitar, and it was just for her. Now...are y'all EVER gonna listen to Van Halen again??
He writes most of his own stuff. Such a storyteller he’s hard to beat. He did a duet with Martina McBride called Chances Are that’s worth a listen.
I've suggested this one so many times. So far, no luck-fingers crossed. It comes from a movie that I think they both would enjoy starring Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick, Jr, Hope Floats...
Yes, so true
My favorite song of his is Her Strut. Solid banger
i saw Bob. No explosions. No drum solo. No flash. No nothing. Just one of the best shows i've ever seen.
Same. When I saw him in 2008, he just told stories of how each song came to be. No politics, no bullshit.
Fantastic show.
I was in Cobo Arena in Detroit in the early 70's while "Live Bullet" was being recorded, and many times after.....
Saw him live in Seattle in 1978, best concert ever! P.S. check out "BOB SEGER--SHAKEDOWN {BEVERLY HILLS COP 2}
Bob Segar IS one of the great American troubadours telling the American experience.... Long may his music touch your soul!!
His music will never get old!
He is actually still touring!!! One of the best of the best!❤
"Then came that morning, he woke up alone". That lyric gets me every time.
Legendary song that really captures the essence of LA. Well done Bob. 🎸
This is Seger's best song in my opinion! Love that is starts right off with all that energy and never lets off.
This one is great, but it's gotta be Turn the Page! 😁
Starts off on a heater, that’s for damn sure!
Yes, indeed, right out the gates it's adrenaline bust...the only time it simmers is a little between versus. I mean we gotta catch our breath for God's sake. Seger is a gem.
Thanx for this classic track from my misspent youth. I saw him live once and even though I was near the back of the arena, it felt like I was three rows back in a small club. A great night that brought back many memories.
Brother Bob brother bob, III can't. I could hey kid brother bob could
And you know, i'm sort of older, I got to grand kids out here and I'll let you know i'm saying ah😅😅😅😊😅😅😅😅
From the live bullet album traveling man oh yeah traveling man After a dive gets done with tramp of malakos ride and the beautiful loser watches a good song You get in a combo hair😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Can you not just visualize this entire story? THAT is great writing,.
Bob Seger paints a picture with all his work.
No doubt Bob's gift for writing set him apart from most.
Bob's greatest cruising song: Travelin Man / Beautiful loser from Live Bullet. Grew up listening to that album.
Bob Seger always takes you on a journey! You two are awesome !
Bob had the Swampers from Muscle Shoals record many of his earlier hits with him.
Everybody out there, everybody has had ASU NSPO t, baby sunspot BABY. That's song sunspop, baby, that's pop shaker.😅😅😅😅😅😅
I can tell you where you get a combo
Traveling man and then a beautiful loser from a lot bullet. That's some real that is about as real as it's going to bay bug
Ramblin' Gamblin' Man is another Banger by Bob Seger. One of his early ones
I lost my husband of 30 years 3 years ago and the only thing that kept me sane was Segers “ Famous final scene”. You should check it out.
Going to have that song played at my funeral. Perfect exit song! ❤
Amazing song, one that I did not appreciate the way i do now.
Sorry for your loss.
Thank you @@triggerwarning5762
"You'll Accompany Me" and "Fire Lake" are a couple gems 💎
i just came in from the shop. was rocking the entire 'Nine Tonight' album for a spell.
Bob Seger - the soundtrack to my misspent teen years. BETTY LOU'S GETTIN' OUT TONIGHT. You'll love it!
My dad’s favorite ❤️
I saw Bob Seger in 1978 when they were the opening band for Kiss, Bob had on black jeans, black T-shirt and the white vest, great times
Can NEVER go wrong with Bob.
The Ring is a great Bob Seger song and it tells a story, which I know y'all love. Also myost favorite is Against the Wind.
Oh yes brother bob
The live bullet album is excellent. It's like it says it's a live performances. You can do traveling man and got a combo without going through the drive through😅😅😅😅😅
M a k I n g, thunderbirds macon t h u n d e r b I r d s that's the song right there

Gotta set the cruise when listening to this one. 😁

I was thinking of the piano “when the waves tumble over the sand,” probably my favourite line in the song.
Yeah, he's definitely at the top of his storytelling game on this song. It's just one awesome line after another.
"She had born with a face that would let her get her way. He saw that face and he lost all control."
was wondedring if he could ever go home also
@cameronpickard7456 Yes! Because he doesn't mean physically. He's talking about mentally or maybe even spiritually home. Yeah, that line gets me every time.
Ramblin' Gamblin' Man was his first hit I think, great song.

From Songtext & Bob himself: "The chorus to this song came into my head one night

Also, the repetitive single then double snare hits were intended to simulate driving over expansion joints in the road which you don't run into very often anymore.
The next Bob Seger song you might want to react to is "Night Moves," another one of his many big radio hits.
Look guys I posted this 45 on my Instagram page a couple of days ago and I swear they ate it up Bob Seger is a king❤Yes🔥

I saw that another subscriber mentioned The Eagles. They are a Must!!! Truly another supergroup that started in the 70’s. Hotel California is a very cool song. They have so many like Take it Easy and Already Gone - their early hits - and Best of My Love , One of these Nights, Life in the Fast Lane, and 100 more once we get started!
The Eagles had 6 number 1 albums and you will both like them. You have already reacted to Glenn Frey and Don Henley who started their solo careers after they made it big with the Eagles.
Love what you do!
That incredibly difficult drumline and driving bass makes this song phenomenal. Best of Seger and the boys
Incredibly difficult because it is two drums, one overdubbed on the other ~ Don Brewer was fantastic at drumming this tune live in concert...
@@kellycraig-slogar6676 Don Brewer from Grand Funk? I didn't know he played in the Silver Bullet Band.
@@mperezmcfinn2511 Yes that Don Brewer - After GFR broke up, Craig Frost the keyboardist, started with Bob in 1980, then Brewer in 1982.
@kellycraig-slogar6676 Ah, so that's not him on the recording. Got it. Sadly, I never got to see Bob live.
@@mperezmcfinn2511 David Teegarden is the drummer for the original recording on Stranger In Town album - I saw Bob live 13 times - the first in '77 and the last in 2019, two weeks before his final retirement tour show in Philly - No one brought it live like Bob did back in the day!! First time I saw him was right after Live Bullet was released and it was just like being there when that album was recorded!! If you have never listened to it from start to finish, do it!!
The Drums on this song are relentless.
Beautiful people! Such a joy to watch your reactions, but this one really showcased your smiles and pure joy! My wife and I love who you are, even though we are much older and have never met you guys. Bob is the best of the blue eyed soul singers. Amber stated his lyrics and stories are really great and I agree with her. Springsteen, John Melloncamp and many other contemporary singer/ songwriters are brilliant, but Seger is unique!
Seger is its own thing, I call it rock & soul...
Saw Bob live in Detroit in 1978. He rocked the house when they did Hollywood Nights. The crowd was loud & nuts all the way through it. Absolutely killed it!!!
My parents went to that show and brought me back a t shirt. I wish I still had it.
Bob Seger is a MAJOR ICON! WOOOOTTT!!!!
Almost forgot; if you want a different side of Bob Seger check out his duet with Martina McBride; the song is “Chances Are” from the soundtrack of the movie “Hope Floats”.❤❤❤
...and his vocals added to the back up vocals makes a sound like a huge church organ! Beautiful.
I love, love, love Night Moves, but this is my fave of his. LA is so full of hope, beauty, glamor, desperation and longing and they all exist together like a soup … “He knew right then he was too far from home” just captures all of it. Also, YOU KNOW HE MUST HAVE LIVED THIS SONG!!! just timeless and fantastic.
I love how Amber ALWAYS pays attention to and appreciates the lyrics.
This song I just pure total good vibes I'm all for it.
Excellent, my favourite Bob Seger song!
Fire Inside gets my blood cranking like Hollywood nights!
"Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser" is my favorite of Bob Seger, saw him several times in concert, he has so many great hits! Another good one is "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man."
One of Bob's best is "Little Drummer Boy". The heart and soul he pours into that is unmatched.
Now this is a man with TALENT! I love listening to Bob Seger, the man, the myth, the legend! His music is immortal, and is enjoyable no matter what you're doing. Thanks for playing this, Rob Squad! You never can go wrong with this man!
My favorite Bob Seger memory was going to see him and the Silver Bullet Band with a group of my high school friends in the summer between our junior and senior years in June 1980. He was at the height of his popularity and we were in Heaven. It was awesome!
If you haven't, you have to listen to his Night Moves and Still the Same and Shame on the Moon and You'll Accompany Me and Rock and Roll Never Forgets and of course one of his earliest, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man.
This is my husband and I. He moved from Detroit in 1977 to San Francisco where he met me, California girl. Forty three years later, we are in Detroit. You never know where life takes you. Thanks Bob for the memories.
Love this one!
he isn't lying. a night from Venice beach to the holly hills, the Grifith observatory to Turnbull canyon it gets u every time. its beautiful the vibe all night.
"He knew right then he was too far from home"
"He saw that face and he lost all control"
"wondering if he could ever go home"
Best lines of the song
Finally got around to this one.....Love it.
Bob Seger is in a genre all his own. Much like many groups of the 70s, Silver Bullet has a unique sound. See, back then we didn't really classify music into genres. Either you liked it or you didn't. You could literally go from Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty to The Eagles on the same station and nobody cared. If you didn't like what was playing you just waited and soon something you did like would be on. Bread, Boston, BTO, to Kiss to Steve Miller to Carly Simon... it was all good
Awesome Tune!!! You can't go wrong with ANY of his Songs!!! My godfather looks just like him, as a kid I always thought he was him, and he always played along like he was... Many, Many great memories from This Master!! Still my favorite singer of all time, listen to him daily...
This is the perfect summer song!
I've been waiting for you to get to Hollywood Nights. I'm pretty sure you'll both love it, It was written because he wanted something upbeat and fun to open his concerts with. Mission accomplished, I'd say. Seger is in a class with only a few other acts.
Hands down my favorite Bob Seger song, and one of the great songs of rock, period. Classic.
One of my favorite lines is from this song, I use it when my grand daughter, age 5, wraps me around her little finger,. "she was born with a face that will let her get away"
His live album “Nine Tonight” is full of classic,classic rock. Each song a timeless gem. Each song surpassing its studio original. The perfect roadtrip album.
On the way home, you could always groove on “Live Bullet.” Those two albums are a true anthology of greatest hits. These live versions of these songs are the preferred bill of fare for any classic rock station playing Seger.
Cant travel far without some Bob playing
3:53 sometimes his music is referred to as heartland rock (whatever that means) but it’s really just straight-ahead rock and roll without any fancy s**t. Incidentally, Bob Seger is a big fan of soul music. He would often cover soul songs that were put out by Hi Records - that’s the label Al Green was on before Al turned to gospel music.
J and his genres. smh Just call it rock n' roll! LOL For those of us who grew up listening to Seger, he's the foundation of our rock experience. I think that's especially strong for those of us from Michigan. He's the godfather of Detroit rock n' roll. I don't think he's ever made a bad song.
@@justjulesinmi eh, it ain’t J’s fault. Most of these genres were made up by journalists describing the music. In fact some words we now use to describe certain genres, like rap, actually predate the music they now describe. For example, jazz organist Brother Jack McDuff had a record out called Moon Rapping. “Rap” here just refers to a way of talking.
Bob Seger is blessed with such a mature voice even at a young age. His sound is so distinctive. Definitely a song for your road trip playlist.
No matter how many Bob songs you both listen too, you will never go wrong...Bob and his band has never made a bad song.
Greetings Jay and Amber
Yes this is quite the song by Bob Seger. This is the ONLY song Seger claims to have gotten the inspiration out of nowhere while driving around. At the time he was renting a place in the Hollywood Hills. The lyrics, "Hollywood Nights / Hollywood Hills / Above all the lights / Hollywood Nights" came into his head and had to turn car around to write them down and not forget. He could even imagine how his backup vocal singers would be singing their part.
Once he got back home, he saw the Time magazine cover with Cheryl Tiegs on it and decided to make the song about a Midwest guy that meets a girl like that. The drummer on this track was David Teegarden (oddly enough) from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Billboard mag described it as "a gut crunching rocker with all the stops pulled out", reaching 12 on their chart within a few weeks of release. "A solid rocker about a Hollywood romance" was the review of another critic at the time.
Songs like this keep proving (overall) that the most nostalgic, appreciated, enjoyed, and all-out hits came between the years of 1975 and about 1995. More 'Hits', "Bangers", "Chart Toppers", "Award Winning", "Solid Hits", "Greatest Hits", etc. came during this 20 yr. period than any other, so far. Furthermore, it happened across all the genres of music.
Love, love, love, Bob Seeger. Love Night moves and Sunspot Baby. I've seen as many concerts as I can. He's rock and roll. His voice is awesome! Thanks for this!✌️
My favorite is 'You'll Accompany Me' and I love his 'Little Drummer Boy.'
Please do "Famous final scene" by Bob Seger. It's my favorite by him! 😁
I want to say this is yet another song written about Christie Brinkley. She left a lot of musician's broken hearts in her wake.
Great story Amber!! Midwestern boy meets a sparkled up Cali girl….;) If Bob was a painter, his paintings would be priceless! His songs paint a picture that sneaks into your soul and makes you feel all they lyrics. His lyrics bring greater meaning the older you get too, they bring you back to your younger days. Like a rock and night moves are just a couple that take me back.
Bob was very good friends with Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Glen was from Royal Oak, Michigan while Bob grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the late 70's Bob spent a lot of time in the LA/Hollywood area. Recorded in 1978: "Seger said "The chorus just came into my head; I was driving around in the Hollywood Hills, and I started singing 'Hollywood nights/Hollywood hills/Above all the lights/Hollywood nights.' I went back to my rented house, and there was a Time with Cheryl Tiegs on the cover...I said 'Let's write a song about a guy from the Midwest who runs into someone like this and gets caught up in the whole bizarro thing.'"
