Bob Seger TV Interview December 1976

[@klaws32]

Bob Seger is a true American Treasure. I have the utmost respect for him. A true all time great. I salute you and thank you for your great music, Mr. Seger.

[@joecalhoun5303]

He is as real as it gets

[@Johnnynbk]

Thanks, kid.

[@tylerthompson1842]

Smart, soulful, and humble. Bob Seger’s a true one

[@matthewronsson]

As Kid Rock said when Bob Seger was inducted into the R'n'R Hall of Fame, (to the best of my memory) "with Bob Seger, you never heard about any scandal or strife, it was always just about the music" and it's true. He is among the last of the great, class acts in rock and any other popular music genre or format.

[@pedenmk]

Bob seger is one of the greatest rock musicians ever. a very humble person

[@howlinberry1645]

Just discovered Bob Seger a year ago....Goddamn better late than never...

[@sunnybeach4837]

That voice he's got and the songs he writes and performs. It could never be done better by anyone else. Perfection

[@Mia444]

It's rare to find someone of Bob's talent who is also humble, down-to-earth & just a regular guy (in the best sense). Love him!!

[@sandrabeatrisbaltes8649]

Por isso que Amo ele um cara simples , educado e discreto ❤❤❤

[@richdooley3249]

Wow!! You can really see how Humble and down to Earth this Gentleman is!! Seger is such a Great Songwriter. What a Legend!

[@nunyafunyuns]

I love Bob. He's a real person, a talented person and he stands on his own two feet. LOVE you Bob Seger!

[@jwahl023]

True American music artist, He never sold out to the industry. He has a good soul... much respect! Thanks for the video.

[@lauramcmullen5851]

Joyce W you nailed it had he let them subsidize him, they would have called the shots, and the true seger would have been snuffed out and forced to promote the satanic agenda. how tragic that would have been!

[@dafunk39]

Joyce W Good comment! As soon as he had kids he left the road to help raise them, when they were old enough he went back on the road. Still no frills, just an all around good guy.

[@boomer1579]

@@lauramcmullen5851 Amen! This discussion reminds me of the following Neil Young lyrics: "We don't wanna be watered down Takin' orders from record company clowns..." Tom Hanks played a record company executive in "That Thing You Do", ordering the drummer to wear sunglasses. I am a good drummer myself. Had I been fortunate enough to have ended up with a band that was awarded a recording contract, it would have been only after the record company was advised of their rights by the band. (Of course, a reasonable trading of ideas is always welcome.) No sunglasses, no watering down; the musicians are the talent, and the record companies need(ed) us as much as we need(ed) them. I think many gullible artists have been bullied by those clowns in the past (when this was more of an issue). Good for Mr Seger, Mr Young and whomever else did not fall in line to the "pied piper". God bless.

[@motorcitymanman7711]

He sold out in the 80s......his early music was Rock....his 80s stuff was lighter commercial Pop.

Until it shines?

[@hwrk777]

ME TOO!

[@thomashumphrey7395]

Seger was almost his own genre of rock. There was not much other classic rock as soulful and that sounded like him and his band. He was special and super talented.

[@marujohowes3584]

Truth

[@EofBrokenSilence]

What a classy guy. He's my all time favorite musician and his personality is part of it

[@tamiesfavsdamico2208]

Yes, he is!!! 🎶🎶🎶🤟☝️✌️👍💞 4 eva

[@davidalangreenwald7948]

I L O V E B O B S E G E R. I've seen him more times than any one else by far. In the Pine Knob days in the 70's and 80's, he was the man. I would stand in the Orchestra Pit (I always snuck down to get closer seats or slowly pushed to the front by the first encore) watching and singing every word with him, sometimes night after night. If he played 7 nights in Detroit, I probably saw 4 of them. He was and is my touchstone to that era and to my sister Caron (she was killed in 1976). She loved him like I do, and 40+ years later, I still feel her whenever I see him play. I love his music and his writing and the respect he gives the audience. He leaves every ounce of energy out there on the stage.

[@janetjohnsonboo]

David Greenwald I'm sorry for your loss.

[@LaurieLaSalle26]

+David Greenwald If there was anything that will allow you to feel your sister it would be a Seger concert. I administer a fan group where we have several members whom were there from before Silver Bullet. We chat a whole bunch and a few are in the same frame of mind as your self. Still in 2018 the energy in the venue and on that stage is something only one that experienced it can understand..I hope you get to see him on this tour as we are thinking this will likely be his last....

[@chrischampagne4307]

Every ounce of energy.... you try to give away

[@jadedlove1345]

@@chrischampagne4307 Exactly what I was thinking when I read her last sentence. “As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play”.

[@carolhuggins8374]

He always sounds so intelligent in his interviews. I could watch them all day.

[@301rs]

Wow, after seeing this interview, it just re-enforces what a great time I lived thru in American history. I was 14 years old when this interview played and I grew up in the town where it was shown. Bob Seeger was always one of those artists you instantly recognized when his songs were played on the radio but you didn’t know anything about, this happened a lot in those days. You always had to depend on magazine features or interviews like this for information about musicians and singers. No internet back then. Somehow though, you still would find a way to hear about the influential rock singers, especially from friends who were super fans who would be happy to tutor you in everything they knew about a particular artist or band. Those were the days and I miss them.

[@loripowell7654]

Such a humble guy….I really love that about him! I have the most respect for him. He was the first person band I saw ….at my school, St Michaels gym auditorium …..he was amazing even back then!! Love you Bob Seger!

[@angelo57a51]

What a genuine and humble guy! I wish more celebrities were like him!

[@lonjanis6001]

Such a legend and seems like a genuine person. You dont find that in many rock stars. What a class act !!

[@BacknMetro]

Yeah. I didn't expect him to be so nice, sweet and personable. I'm used to seeing musicians sarcastic, snarky or smart ass (I grew up on grunge) in interviews and he's none of those things. I was taken aback.

[@ohgloriousone]

Just saw him tonight! He's still so amazing. His voice is still so awesome. Love Bob Seger!

[@christineadams1284]

I saw him this year also. I see him every time he comes to town. He is my favorite of all time.

[@marybennett4160]

Genius. He could never be bought. Love you Bob! Down to earth just a man with a beautiful soul that put it into music ♥️🌹🎶☝🏽

[@Drewtazy]

A class act all the way!

[@amyriberdy]

I met him when he played in a small teen venue in Windsor called The Intersection. He was a very quiet yet talented man even back in his early days. Since then I have always been a fan

[@Belinda204]

What a humble and talented man. I'm still stuck in the 70's. I need to take my albums out and play them. Oh, shucks, I don't have a turntable anymore.

[@bigpaulie806]

A true talent. And a class act as well. Keep rocking and rolling Bob. 🎸☺️

[@danacoleman4007]

it seems like, in addition to having musical talent absolutely oozing out of his ears, Bob is a pretty dang smart business person! and obviously a really nice gentleman!

Bob Seger has always been a big part of the Detroit scene , he had a lot of great songs before he made it big but sometimes it takes a while for people to catch on

[@robertfurniss4415]

I saw Bob Seger in 1977 in Orlando Florida. What a show it's one of the best shows I've ever seen

[@EphemeralProductions]

[@neilouellette3004]

Wasn't to well known during this time. Even with the release of Live Bullet. Only in the Detroit area. Two yrs. later he was the biggest musician from 1978-2004. I graduated high school in 1981 and back then his U.S. Tours would sell-out in 45 minutes. Seen him live a few times. Never disappoints!

Two words. Fucking legend. 🎶 🎸 🎶

[@kenperk9854]

Bob liked listening to WLAC in Nashville at night . He's a little older than me but we both enjoyed listening to WLAC which was white by day and black by night! That's where Bob got a big dose of Southern music of all colors. That's why he, Linda Ronstadt, glenn, the stones, ROD STEWART TRAFFIC, BOB Dylan and the guys who would become the Eagles were frequent visitors to 3614 Jackson Highway. Hell, CHER NAMED HER First solo album, 3614 Jackson Highway between Cher , Bob, Linda and a drunken Joe Cocker, there was always something going on in our tiny town . Thousands of Michigan folks have came here to visit the historic studios that look as they did 50 years ago..and we haven't even mentioned the guys in Lynyrd Skynyrd . It's a wonderland for people who love d the 70s and those who want to get their first slice. The Museums are very reasonably priced and we make sure Ronnie Van Zant behaves himself. He's haunted the Muscle Shoals Studio since the plan crash in 1977. So come on down catch up on history!

[@crazeedogs]

James Brown was one of my first influences too. I used to dress up like him lol! Go Bob you are the best.

Bob Seger just didn't go the way the Eagles went with the "Hotel California" ringing true for that band since that song was about the hell of the music industry people. Kudos to him even though it took him over a decade to become a superstar rocker, when he did make it, wow what a breakout in 1975-76. He's such a down-to-earth, honest, man of integrity with his music and persona.
