Bob "See-ger" is one of the deepest rabbit holes out there. Just a million good songs, and the comments will give you plenty to choose from. And Britt, THANK YOU for doing the studio version. My humble advice is: "react to the studio version, unless you are specifically directed to the live version." Again, my personal preference.
My opinion is that the studio version is the clearest vision of the artist's intent. The live performances build off of that, if you want to do them after. Sometimes they showcase the talent of the musicians that doesn't come through the studio polish, and there's an undeniable energy (most of the time.) Usually they are horribly mixed, and often lackluster because the band is exhausted from touring. Sometimes the studio version is the producer's vision, and not the artist's. It all kind of depends, but for me, the studio is the safer bet.
@@steverobertson4338 Turn the Page Live Bullett > the studio version. I saw every one of Bob's tours - I cannot recall ever hearing a bad note, yes, he couldn't hit the high notes. He was still kicking ass at 74 in 2019
I've watched several reactions to this great song and nobody has acknowledged the line, "points all her own sitting way up high...way up firm and high". Iconic line!
I will be a Bob Seger fan till I die. My daughter recognized his voice by the time she was 2. She would come running yelling his name. Her Strut, Old time Rock and Roll, Fire Down Below and Main street are just some of his greats❤
I have very fond memories from late 1976, of being 17, sitting in my 1973 Z-28 Camero, in the mall parking lot, late one winter night, beautiful girl sitting in my lap, the windows all fogged up, and Bob Seager and Night Moves blaring through the Tenna Mind Blower speakers. Ahhhhh….the 70s!!! And now, all of the sudden, I’m 65.
I have great memories to this song in summer of 1976 too, in my 1969 Olds 442 with a Pioneer 8 track player, Kraco Amp going to my Jenson 6×9's. If I was rocking with Seger, it was KC, Foreigner, Eagles, or a hundred other groups. Music will never be as good as the 70's music was.
1969 GMC Van- Me and my girl Drove to Greensboro NC in 1977 to see the Night Moves tour! paid $7.00 each for the tickets to see this Great singer. We hung out in the parking lot after. Seems like last weekend. 19 then 66 now, still love this song
Bob Seger is my very favorite!!! And as said above it's a deep deep rabbit hole! He's in my opinion one of the best Rock poets ever! And Mercy, that growly voice of his! Yum!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Turn the Page Old Time Rock-'n'-roll Against the Wind Like a Rock Roll Me Away Fire Down Below Hollywood Nights Her Strut Rock and Roll Never Forgets Just a few more great songs by Seger.
Bob Seger is one of the absolute best artists to have ever lived! His voice has been one of my favorites since I was just a kid. To feel like a teenager again....
The deeper meaning is the summer being your youth and "with autumn closing in" meaning youre now older and looking back. Im 67 and the music was great back then. Love your show❤
Growing up in Detroit & Ann Arbor in the late 60's, 70's we'd see Bob at local clubs & around the U of M campus clubs. Ive seen him & the Silver Bullet Band at Cobo hall more times than I can count. Bob is an American Classic & Icon.
Yay! So happy to see you listen to more Bob Seger! He is truly an American treasure! This is one of my favorites along with "Hollywood Nights" and "Against the Wind" - also we can hear him ... little one has a healthy set of lungs. I am not unhappy about hearing him, congrats and I hope you're getting enough sleep, lol.
The fleeting moment in time...right before you had to start adulting, the dawn of your adolescence; only you didn't know was about to end, but now in your much older years as you look back, it's that clear nostalgia along with Seger's voice that just reaches in and grabs you
Bob Seger is in the songwriters hall of fame and the rock and roll hall of fame… probably because the only thing he could never do was write a bad song 🎧
Oh he has a few (It may be a minority opinion but I can not stand We've Got Tonight. Just the fact that Kenny Rogers at his schlockyist covered it I feel makes my point.) but he hits a lot more often than he misses.
Some of my favorite lyrics: “Trying' to make some front page drive-in news, practicing our night moves in the summertime”. And yes, that’s Joey from Friends 👍🏻
Yep, this song is about getting laid and learning all the night moves. The song then switches to him as an older man thinking back to that time wistfully, cos the fact he's aging smacked him in the face when the lightning struck. Back then it was the height of summer. Like you said, he was young and free. Now the autumn of his life is closing in. "Ain't it funny how the night moves."
Stop watching the video and just listen to the lyrics. You completely missed the genius of this song. It's starts in fondly recounting his youth (summer), then at the break, he awakes to the sound of thunder and finds himself realizing he's in the autumn of his life and all the excitement of his youthful escapades are but memories. The meaning of "night moves" changes, as he awakes from a dream to find himself "humming a song from 1962 - ain't it funny how the night moves..." I grew up hearing this song, probably a few hundred times, never paying attention much to the lyrics or what is was about. Then a couple of years ago, on one of these reaction videos, I really listened for the first time, now at 54. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I suppose someone your age can't quite know what it's like to look back on your life with that bittersweet feeling of knowing there more behind you than in front. And the thing is, most of Seger's songs are like this. He has this uncanny ability to capture nostalgia in song. Somehow, in his twenties and thirties he was able to tap into some really deep, profound ideas about life. Try "Like a Rock" or "Against the Wind' next.
Not only that, she pauses the song every 10 seconds. How the hell do you get the intended experience of a song when you pause it every 10-15 seconds? I can understand one pause, maybe two on a special occasion but this is unwatchable and absurd. There is no way you can properly absorb music by doing that.
One of the greatest coming of age songs by one of the greatest American singer songwriters. When the song slows down near the end, I think he is talking about aging, particularly "with Autumn closing in." Thanks for this video.
My fav Bob Seger song of all time....My mind is screaming at you to stop talking!! Lmao ❤ I have everything he has ever done....my husband and I back 40 years ago lived at the drive-in....god I miss those days 😢
Bob Seger has so many good songs, ranging from Ballard's to good old Rock and Roll.My favorite artist of all time .I was lucky to see him on his farewell tour!
Exactly. 👈 The cardinal rule is: You do not interrupt Bob Seger 🙄 and you do not cut him off 🤨 at the end!! Live and learn people.. and remember. 💗 💗 haha.
I absolutely hate this video for a first time reaction to this great song. It completely takes every reactor I've ever seen out of the song and the lyrics. Fun video for a second watch but awful for a first.
That wasn't VEVO. That was Capital Records. This is the version from his Greatest Hits album which is edited differently at the end from the original version. That is what they made the video for. Hardly anyone was making promotional videos in 1976 and certainly no one who had never had a top ten hit on the pop charts at the time was making them.
I remember seeing Bob Seeger playing at bars in the Detroit Area. He is a Detroit Treasure. You are still the best reactor … always have fun watching you.
One of my all time favorite songs. It regularly gets stuck in my head for days, especially the slow-down transition towards the end. Another great Bob Seger song is "We've Got Tonight"
“Like a Rock” is another amazing video. For those of us of a certain age, Segar chronicalled our lives as we got older through the years. That song hits deep, especially when I’m stopped for a train at a crossing Ive been through for decades.
What I love about Bob's songs, is the stories he tells are so vivid, my mind takes me to specific times and places. The themes are common to everyone- and as you get older, and live more, they take on even more meaning. Half the time, it's like he reached into MY memory banks and is singing about MY life!! If you haven't yet, you need to check out "The Fire Inside" honestly, a truer assessment I've never heard... Bob GETS it. Plus, that voice. Plus that music! They were phenominal live!
I always hate when this video gets used for reaction videos. The reason is that this is such a fantastic song and you don't get to hear the whole song here. The ending part of this song is incredible, and you don't get to hear that here. Check out the full song.
i just posted the same thing. Reactors (IMO) should check the length of song on a video and compare to the song original master and that way can avoid radio-edits. Happens way too often - especially this song; and it's his best song for sure and the best parts are cut out at the end.
What you're connecting with and responding to so passionately yourself is the Honesty in his voice. That's why it seems as if his voice is always perfect in the moment... because he makes sure that each of the words conveys the Truth ✌️ ☮️ ~
Faded too early. There's a longer version. So much soul and charisma in his voice. Emotion. Great storyteller. Great lyricist. Great musician and songwriter.
The bass guitarist is absolutely hitting it outta de park!! Everything about this song, the story, the voice, the lyrics and the symbolism, Acoustic guitar, keys, back-up vocals, all perf3ect.
I am from Detroit and he is a real Icon here for sure. He also made a song for Eddie Murphy's movie "Beverly Hills Cop" called " Shake Down". The list of his songs is endless
Grew up in Windsor and spent a lot of time in Detroit. Bob Seger at Cobo Hall, Doobie Brothers at Pine Knob, Huey Lewis at Harpos …..a different concert every weekend…ah the memories.
25 years old and went to see Bob in Dallas back when I was 20 years old! So glad my parents raised me on his music. Main Street is probably my favorite song of his!!
Autumn closing in , is about getting older. As the Autumn of your life. Also listen to the beginning again and listen for his points and her points. lol Great reaction. Can't beat Bob SEE-ger
These young people today get so excited when they hear talent. This was every day music to us. Everyone played instruments, everyone sang without auto-tune. They didn't have half naked dancers on stage to distract from the total lack of talent, like today. Real MUSIC. Todays 'music' absolutely sucks.
Bob Seeger can sing anything. He has so many songs that are his alone, but then he can turn in and sing something like The Little Drummer Boy. I tell you true, his rendition of the Little Drummer Boy will give you goose bumps. Bob has a timeless voice and his music will live on long after we are all gone.
Bob has a way of talking about risqué things in ways so soulful they don’t sound dirty. You MUST check out: We’ve Got Tonight (the most romantic song ever written… about a one night stand 😂) Mainstreet (about his love for a stripper) Like a Rock (you’ll recognize from old Chevy commercials) Against the Wind (persevering through life’s struggles) Old Time Rock and Roll (about old time rock and roll 😂) Enjoy!
"In the Summertime" means just that . Bob grew up in Michigan and after every winter ends, "Summertime" is amazing! He is literally singing about Michigan's weather.
He has so many great songs from the 70s and 80s when I was young. We finally went to see Bod and the Silver Bullet band in concert I think it was 2018 or 19. He was so good even at 72.
How did I miss this and our beloved Britt reaction?? Bob is so overlooked. Just brilliant. Thanks Britt. You will will love his soulful and gritty rock!
When young they "felt the lightnin', but waitin on the thunder", but when looking back he "awoke last night to the sound of thunder". Metaphor of sex without love but looked back in later years with love.
My husband (70) says his music is mellow to the soul. First national hit was "Ramblin Gamblin Man (1969). The 70's - 80's had many hits from him. All told: Over 50 m records sold which include 7 multi-platinum, 4 platinum and 2 gold; over 60 singles and is in the Rock Hall of Fame and the Singer/Songwriter Hall of Fame. This was released in 1976. Others to react to: Shame on the Moon, Like a Rock, Old time Rock & Roll, Still the same, Against the wind - just to name a few of his biggest hits.
Absolutely love Bob Seger. Favorite artist of all times. I've listened to the Night Moves album hundreds of times. I love every song on it. But the song Night Moves, I get emotional every time I hear it. And I am far from an emotional person. But that song stirs something deep down in my soul. And I real can't explain why.
Saw him live 3 times. He was in Super Bowl of Rock 2 in Chicago 1979. He played before Peter Frampton; ( the headliner) He brought all of Soldier Field in Chicago 85,000 fan on fire. Peter came on and we all left.
Congrats Britt.......you are now moving into the iconic territory of a deeper understanding of Bob Seger and his music. The more you listen to him......the more impressed you will become.
This was released in 1976, the year after I had my summer of night moves. I love this song. I also happened to grow up in the same neighborhood that Bob did!
Song came out originally in 1976. This video was from the early 90s. Matt LeBlanc (Friends) was the actor and Daphne Zuniga (Melrose Place) was the actress.
Native Detroiter here and Bobs our guy .Hes a great musician and person by all accounts.Nothing ever negative about him in 50 years. For future video do "Roll Me Away". Also for a more understated gem try "Till it Shines" from Hollywood Nights Album.
This song is about the stages of life. In the summertime, you are a teenager, going into your 20's. In the fall, you are older, in your 40's to 50's. After that you are entering the winter, the final season of your life. You hear the thunder, and you wonder. You just don't have time to lose. You are wondering how much time you have left.
First song I ever heard from Bob Seger, but it convinced me to delve deeper into his history and catalog. Did not disappoint and discovered perhaps the greatest rock vocalist among some very tough competition. Of course, back when this song came out...the drive-in was a rite of passage as we all worked on mysteries without any clues.
In the summer of 1977 - I was 17 and Suzi was 16. The whole summer when we took our turns in the backseat - this song would come on the radio. I have loved this song my whole life - and now that my summers and autumns have passed - all I'm left with is a discontented winter - and a warm glow memory of 1977.
Hi Britt 👋. Bob Seger has one of those voices that's a joy to listen to. Another song by him that I love has been played at a lot of wedding receptions... Old Time Rock And Roll. Give that song a listen when you get the chance ✌️
I was a teenager in the 80’s. Bob and his music spoke for our generation. If you buy his greatest hits album, he tells a story about how he wrote each song. He was our voice. Happy you discovered him. Next you need to find Jimmy Barnes music. ❤️🇨🇦
back in the 70's early 80's i would have Bob with me and my customized chevy van riding around drinking beer on them country back roads in upper East Tn had some good times old memories never die
Summer is a metaphor for our teenage years. Autumn is the metaphor for adulthood. (Your baby is Spring. Sadly I’m moving into the Winter of my life.)
Me too! 58 years old and single for 5 years since my 2nd marriage blew up! Sometimes, the winter looks pretty bleak!
What a ride it was 🤔...✌️🍻🤠❤️
Never fear. 58 is just looking a bit more closely at winter...not there yet! God bless you.@@leroysiedenburg2139

Bob "See-ger" is one of the deepest rabbit holes out there. Just a million good songs, and the comments will give you plenty to choose from. And Britt, THANK YOU for doing the studio version. My humble advice is: "react to the studio version, unless you are specifically directed to the live version." Again, my personal preference.
Also preferably without the video. She gets too caught up in it and disregards what is going on in the song.
My opinion is that the studio version is the clearest vision of the artist's intent. The live performances build off of that, if you want to do them after. Sometimes they showcase the talent of the musicians that doesn't come through the studio polish, and there's an undeniable energy (most of the time.) Usually they are horribly mixed, and often lackluster because the band is exhausted from touring. Sometimes the studio version is the producer's vision, and not the artist's. It all kind of depends, but for me, the studio is the safer bet.

I think most people don't catch that line or just plain don't know what he's talking about.
This came out in 1976 one of the best tracks ever written❤

The bass guitarist is absolutely hitting it outta de park!! Everything about this song, the story, the voice, the lyrics and the symbolism, Acoustic guitar, keys, back-up vocals, all perf3ect.
I am from Detroit and he is a real Icon here for sure. He also made a song for Eddie Murphy's movie "Beverly Hills Cop" called " Shake Down". The list of his songs is endless
Grew up in Windsor and spent a lot of time in Detroit. Bob Seger at Cobo Hall, Doobie Brothers at Pine Knob, Huey Lewis at Harpos …..a different concert every weekend…ah the memories.
Oh MY Goodness Britt,, check out some more of Bob Seger......
"Down on MainStreet"
"Like a Rock"
"We've Got Tonight"
& Still The Same! Those 4 are my favorites of his👍✌️
Bob never had a bad song... soulful
She was a black haired beauty with points of her own sitting way up high....way up firm and high....
in my case she was blond. but def hits home.
25 years old and went to see Bob in Dallas back when I was 20 years old! So glad my parents raised me on his music. Main Street is probably my favorite song of his!!
"Turn the Page" !!! BEST Seger song, IMHO 😉👍
More 70s Gold
Bob Seger is one of the best ever. Huge catalog of great music. And it's pronounced "See gur".
Autumn closing in , is about getting older. As the Autumn of your life. Also listen to the beginning again and listen for his points and her points. lol Great reaction. Can't beat Bob SEE-ger
Yea, her points ... " ... sitting way up high
Way up firm and high ..." I never realized what that was describing when I was a kid, lol
One of the best!!! His music doesn’t age at all! ♥️
These young people today get so excited when they hear talent. This was every day music to us. Everyone played instruments, everyone sang without auto-tune. They didn't have half naked dancers on stage to distract from the total lack of talent, like today. Real MUSIC. Todays 'music' absolutely sucks.
Not true, you just have to look harder
a little harsh; still a lot of talent...
Bob Seeger can sing anything. He has so many songs that are his alone, but then he can turn in and sing something like The Little Drummer Boy. I tell you true, his rendition of the Little Drummer Boy will give you goose bumps. Bob has a timeless voice and his music will live on long after we are all gone.
“Shame on the moon” “come to poppa” ❤😎
Bob has a lot of soul to offer. " Hollywood Nights, and my fave, "Turn the Page". Go girl
Loved the reaction. Y'all come back now.
Bob SEEger, ah songs of my high school years.
Bob has a way of talking about risqué things in ways so soulful they don’t sound dirty. You MUST check out:
We’ve Got Tonight (the most romantic song ever written… about a one night stand 😂)
Mainstreet (about his love for a stripper)
Like a Rock (you’ll recognize from old Chevy commercials)
Against the Wind (persevering through life’s struggles)
Old Time Rock and Roll (about old time rock and roll 😂)
Enjoy!
Hah you cut off some of the best vocals of the song at the very end. Bob goes off
Always love listening to Bob. Amazing musician.
Bob Seger is phenomenal. More, please.
"In the Summertime" means just that . Bob grew up in Michigan and after every winter ends, "Summertime" is amazing! He is literally singing about Michigan's weather.
He has so many great songs from the 70s and 80s when I was young. We finally went to see Bod and the Silver Bullet band in concert I think it was 2018 or 19. He was so good even at 72.
How did I miss this and our beloved Britt reaction?? Bob is so overlooked. Just brilliant. Thanks Britt. You will will love his soulful and gritty rock!
Yesyesyesyesyes!!! One of his very best. Oh I remember this so well….❤❤❤young loves. 😊
This is my favorite Bob Seger song and it has a much different meaning now than it did 40 years ago
One of the most unmistakeable voices of all time. Bob could never be confused with another singer.
This is one of my favorites songs of his.Thank you love it❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
When young they "felt the lightnin', but waitin on the thunder", but when looking back he "awoke last night to the sound of thunder". Metaphor of sex without love but looked back in later years with love.
I've seen him in concert three times. The first time was in 1966 at a national guard armory in Ohio, when he was a "local band" from Detroit.
My husband (70) says his music is mellow to the soul. First national hit was "Ramblin Gamblin Man (1969). The 70's - 80's had many hits from him. All told: Over 50 m records sold which include 7 multi-platinum, 4 platinum and 2 gold; over 60 singles and is in the Rock Hall of Fame and the Singer/Songwriter Hall of Fame. This was released in 1976. Others to react to: Shame on the Moon, Like a Rock, Old time Rock & Roll, Still the same, Against the wind - just to name a few of his biggest hits.
Song is from 1976. Video was made in the 1990s. One of the greatest songs ever. Pulls at those emotional heart strings every time.
Bob Seger !!! great singer , great song writer. thanks bob.
Absolutely love Bob Seger. Favorite artist of all times. I've listened to the Night Moves album hundreds of times. I love every song on it. But the song Night Moves, I get emotional every time I hear it. And I am far from an emotional person. But that song stirs something deep down in my soul. And I real can't explain why.
This song is one of many classics from my generation.
As many times as I've heard this it still gives me chill bumps.
Saw him live 3 times. He was in Super Bowl of Rock 2 in Chicago 1979. He played before Peter Frampton; ( the headliner)
He brought all of Soldier Field in Chicago 85,000 fan on fire. Peter came on and we all left.
Congrats Britt.......you are now moving into the iconic territory of a deeper understanding of Bob Seger and his music. The more you listen to him......the more impressed you will become.
This was released in 1976, the year after I had my summer of night moves. I love this song. I also happened to grow up in the same neighborhood that Bob did!
Bob is the GOAT - go down this rabbit hole, so worth it ❤❤❤
Bob Seger, a deep, deep rabbit hole. So many albums and so many songs. So many great songs. Others will give you lists, no bad suggestions with Bob.
Awesome share.Bob has endless catalogs of great songs.Songs like this have no expiry date 🇨🇦
I love the piano comes in slowly and then the keyboard creeps under it
Song came out originally in 1976. This video was from the early 90s. Matt LeBlanc (Friends) was the actor and Daphne Zuniga (Melrose Place) was the actress.
She played in Spaceballs as well.
Native Detroiter here and Bobs our guy .Hes a great musician and person by all accounts.Nothing ever negative about him in 50 years.
For future video do "Roll Me Away".
Also for a more understated gem try "Till it Shines" from Hollywood Nights Album.
This song is about the stages of life. In the summertime, you are a teenager, going into your 20's. In the fall, you are older, in your 40's to 50's. After that you are entering the winter, the final season of your life. You hear the thunder, and you wonder. You just don't have time to lose. You are wondering how much time you have left.
45 years seems so short to me now that I'm 73 and this song never gets old to me.
Singers and song writers like him are timeless. I am 53 and I learned a lot about life in this song……
First song I ever heard from Bob Seger, but it convinced me to delve deeper into his history and catalog. Did not disappoint and discovered perhaps the greatest rock vocalist among some very tough competition. Of course, back when this song came out...the drive-in was a rite of passage as we all worked on mysteries without any clues.
Bob is the best! I’ve been to a few of his concerts….😊😊
It also refers to now as older adults looking back at our youth..
Forever be one of the sexiest songs in history. Bob’s mastery in Songwriting and musicianship make his a National Treasure.
In the summer of 1977 - I was 17 and Suzi was 16. The whole summer when we took our turns in the backseat - this song would come on the radio. I have loved this song my whole life - and now that my summers and autumns have passed - all I'm left with is a discontented winter - and a warm glow memory of 1977.
66yr young here and grew up on this music. If u want to listen to more Bob Stager, listen to " Turn the Page" u won't regret it
A deep rabbit hole when you react to Bob...He never made a bad song....His Silver Bullet Band has always been outstanding.
My favorite story teller .
He speaks of days gone past in a nostalgic way that is so good
Deep rabbit hole of great music
Hi Britt 👋. Bob Seger has one of those voices that's a joy to listen to. Another song by him that I love has been played at a lot of wedding receptions... Old Time Rock And Roll. Give that song a listen when you get the chance ✌️
I was a teenager in the 80’s. Bob and his music spoke for our generation.
If you buy his greatest hits album, he tells a story about how he wrote each song.
He was our voice.
Happy you discovered him.
Next you need to find Jimmy Barnes music. ❤️🇨🇦
Hello seen Bob Seager and the Silver Bullet Band in Concert blew us all away.❤
back in the 70's early 80's i would have Bob with me and my customized chevy van riding around drinking beer on them country back roads in upper East Tn had some good times old memories never die
Bob Segar has a voice like old leather and smooth whisky, and a wonderful library of songs. You can never go wrong with him.
