Many many years ago, myself and several friend were playing pool in an all night bowling alley, and pool room. We were the only people there. Until around 1AM a large man came in and approached the man at the desk. After talking for a few minutes the bowling alley attendant came up to my friends and I and started to tell us we had to leave. At which time the big guy came over and said "Since we were already there we could stay, but not to let anyone else in"... naturally my friends and I thought the place was being robbed and we were all gonna die. Turned out Bob Seager and his band (Who had just finished a concert in town) had rented the entire bowling alley so they could kick back and relax... we ended up partying with them all night... nicest guy you'd ever want to meet.

For a long time I couldn't listen to Bob Seger songs because I had terrible associations with them. My mother was an abusive alcoholic and she always listened to Bob Seger when she drank. It was not a good time for me in the mid to late 1980s. But she passed away on 2012, and I have had some time to heal...and start listening to this music again.

It's too strong an association. I'm glad you are listening again and maybe Bob's music will help with the healing. His song "Understanding" always seemed like a very healing song to me.

She is said to have ignited careers of Kiss, Ted Nugent, Earth Wind and Fire, The Guess Who, and launched songs by Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Anka, BTO, Burton Cummings and even Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets". This song expressed Seger's frustration at his lack of play on the station at a certain point. They were friends, and she was generally a fan. Helped launch him beyond the Detroit region.

He has a soulful voice that for the last few decades been labeled "blue eyed soul" most embrace it but Darryl Hall from Hall and Oats rejects the term “I hate it; it’s a racist term, It assumes I’m coming from the outside. There’s always been that thing in America, where if you’re a white guy and you’re singing or playing in a black idiom, it’s like: ‘Why is he doing that? I grew up listening to the greats of Motown.. There is no color to soul. Soul music comes from the heart".

Thank you for reacting to this song. Is it SOULFUL or what?? “Live Bullet” (Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band) is timeless. Growing up in Michigan, where Bob is from, most of my friends had 2 copies: for home and car. In the midwest, before he became famous he was what Springsteen was to New Jersey before he became famous. I was lucky to see him live a couple of times in the ‘75-‘77 era. Sax player’s name is “Alto Reed.” Dude was all-in.

True story: when I was in college, a girl who lived in my dorm was dating Bob's guitarist. Most folk didn't know anyone in the band other than Bob Seger and one day he came to pick her up wearing a jacket that read "BOB SEGER AND THE SILVER BULLET BAND GUITARIST" on the back. I thought to myself you know, without that jacket, I'd never pick him out of a crowd. ;)

I met Bob Seger In Northville Michigan a few times. He would pull up in the silver bullet band bus and stop at McDonald's restaurant after his tour or just before taking off on the road to start one. He bought me a burger 2 times. I was probably 6/7 years old, nice guy. His music has spanned at least 3 generations.

back in 1976, after discharge from the Army, I rode my bicycle from Detroit to Ft Huachuca, Arizona, roundtrip, and being a Bob Seger fan since 1965, I had this tune in my mind for the 5,000 mile trip... When I went into restaurants and would feel these thoughts, I tried to stay clean and worked for a meal when I would do dishes or wash windows. I have personally known Bob all these years and he was always helpful when I wanted to cheer up a cancer patient, with maybe an autograph or a photo... to let them know he wanted to cheer them up. I wish him all the best, now that he has retired, and hope he and his family are doing well. God Bless Bob and Cheers, JP Bear, Plymouth Michigan.

Bob has a depth of character in his voice that he’s been truly blessed to have and thankfully it’s been shared with us. It reminds me of driving up to Indiana back in the mid 80’s with my parents sitting in the backseat passing the time with the radio. It’s damp, cold, wet around thanksgiving. Driving from Florida to Indiana back then wasn’t an easy drive and you’d go from sunshine and beautiful to that miserable wet cold that only Indiana can get at that time of year. Bobs voice always puts me in another time and place in my life. Great song, fun watching your reaction my friend!

Native Hoosier here. You rolled down Highway 41, right? Killer 41, they called it. I know that cold you're talking about. "Normal " winters were cold and wet as a well digger's ass. I lived in on a farm during the winters of 77 and 78. Snow day after day, then 2" ice. Even the far south got hit by the blizzard of 78. Some drifts were 20 feet tall. Summers were always as hot and humid as Gramm's kitchen on canning day . But days in spring and fall so fine you forgot all about the rest.

I could’ve got fired for that.! Then he turned around and put every member of the band on the phone to say hello to me and even Bob! He said I want you guys to talk to her. She is the coolest operator I ever met! They invited me to Palatine, Il to an after party! My mom being a black mom, told me hell no I wasn’t going! But you know what that Christmas they sent me a Christmas card I had it in my memory box for the longest!
