First Time Hearing Bob Seger - “Nutbush City Limits” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@myownchannel247]

This entire album was like the soundtrack for my youth. Tina Turner wrote this song 🎤

[@ORagnar]

I thought that's where I heard it from. It was Tina Turner who I heard sing it years ago. 0-:

[@true1evanique]

Tina also wrote "Black Coffee" covered be Humble Pie.

[@vrvaughn]

@@true1evanique Now that… I did not know!

[@jasfan8247]

Offcourse Ike did the music. The other Ikettes also did a lot of lyrics for the songs. For tax reasons Ike also published under the guise of Renut Eki!

[@jerryparks6123]

Tina Turner lived in Nutbush city Tennessee! She grew up there, might have been born there!

[@thor8580]

Tina wrote it and sang it in 73 then Bob covered it in 75 you were right BJ.👍🏼

One of the best live double albums ever catching Michigan native Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band at the height of his powers . He would have solo success with radio play and tv ads in his future but this live album done over a series of nights in Detroits Cobo Hall is a tremendous showcase of his singing and song writing talent

Nutbush City Limits was written by Tina Turner and first performed by Ike and Tina in 1973. Bob covered it in 1975 on his Beautiful Loser album.

[@scottvanhille5688]

Bob Seger has some power to his voice. You can tell he is a true artist by the passion for music in his voice.

[@danoriordan8044]

Seger did covers and this is one of them. He did a great a version and gave it the Bob Seger soul.

Grew up on this album my mom played this all the time...love it!!! R.I.P Mom.

Bob covers Ike & Tina, Van Morrison, Bo Diddley, and Chuck Berry on this album. Almost the entire album was played on Detroit radio in the mid to late 70s.

[@mikecreger9702]

Not just Detroit radio.

[@deelawson4551]

It was such a treat to watch him do this live..one of the best concerts I`ve been to! Love him!

[@Bluewizard7131]

Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa also have a killer live version of Nutbush City Limits. This is Tina's song. She's from Nutbush, Tennessee.

[@justmoose6534]

Tina Turner wrote this. This was a cover by Bob Seger before he was national star. The album, Live Bullett, that this comes from is what made Bob famous outside of the Detroit area.

[@true1evanique]

Tina and Bob have covered each other's song. I think Tina have covered more of Bob Seger''s songs.

I went to a KISS concert in 1976 not knowing who the opening act would be, and it was this guy, I had never even heard of him before that night. But, he kicked it so hard, I had to think, "Kiss is going to follow this guy??" This live album had just come out, and I went to a record store the next day and bought a copy.

This whole album kicks ass...Whenever anyone reacts to Segar I always tell them to react to songs from this Album cause you really haven't experienced Segar at his most rocking if you dont hear this album...Most just heard his popular stuff which gets reccomended but this album is killer.

[@jamesfranklin8712]

This song was recorded at COBO HALL down town Detroit in 1975 about 20 minutes from my house I grew up in Detroit and still live here and a lot of great music came from here like Motown -Bob seger-Ted Nugent-Smokey Robinson Diana Ross Grand Funk Alice Cooper and a lot of others look up all the singers you'll be surprised how many have came from here

[@johnlane1206]

I'm from London Ontario and back in the day they used to run busses up to Cobol Hall for concerts, saw both Bob and Alice. Great times.

Yes, this and another from Detroit's Cobo, KISS Alive!! (Even if the latter was tinkered with in the studio and partly recorded elsewhere.)

Love me some Bob! I was blessed to grow up in Michigan and went to watch him play, many times before he was famous. Loved seeing him at Sherwood Forest in the late 60's.The benefits of being old, I guess. I went to school with Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad. You young folks got cheated. This was the soundtrack of my life. Also, Tina wrote this one actually.

[@surlechapeau]

Asia & BJ, you'll love his "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" and "Katmandu"!!!

[@jasonremy1627]

From the greatest live album ever. Pick any song from "Live Bullet" at random, and it'll be amazing.

[@zzz7zzz9]

even better, grab some beers and crank the entire album, start to finish. better make it a two-four though.

[@tennesseehusky]

From one great southern cover by Bob to another, gotta try "Trying To Live My Life Without You" from Bob's second live album NINE TONIGHT.

[@jameslytle8527]

Bob covered a few different folks' songs on "Live Bullet" album, Van Morrison, Ike & Tina, and Bo Diddley to name a few!! I had this one on Cassette!! LOL Bob's The Man!!!

[@keithetherington4824]

Traveling Man & Beautiful Loser is the best part of the Live Bullet album. Bob Seger is the sound track of my life. This album and Night Moves came out in 1976 I was 17. I've seen Bob 5 times in my life, he is a part of me.

[@timbriere2325]

Bob Seger also covered River Deep Mountain High, an Ike &Tina Turner song. From 5he album Mongrel, 1970. Bob loves Tina.

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

Tina Turner wrote it, this version was recorded a couple years later. Loving all the comments everyone's posting, all the love for this album. This album was the one that broke him nationally. You should listen to the whole thing, Bob's voice was incredible on it (no surprise), one of the best live albums ever, recorded in Bob's home stomping grounds, Cobo Hall Detroit. Great mix of rockers, ballads, some funky R&B Van Morrisony type of stuff. Coming from a small town in Michigan, we always used to sing "better watch out for the Po - lice, when you cruise into Nutbush" when we were misbehaving and cruising around. Or "we gotta get out of Denver ..." another great rocker off this album

[@dancrowley488]

First album I bought with my own money when I was ten years old in 1976. Still have it.

[@sandraquinn8969]

I had this album and wore it out. I love this song. One of my favorites.

[@chriswebb1935]

This is the album that put Bob on the national map, but it was the album that came after this that really broke him open. 1976 was definitely the year of the live album. This album is how you truly experience Bob. Live and in his prime. Excellent stuff

[@burniceruss5236]

Asia and BJ talked about the song Bob Seger did NUTBUSH CITY LIMITS concerning who wrote it. "Nutbush City Limits" is a semi-autobiographical song written by Tina Turner which commemorates her rural hometown of Nutbush in Haywood County, Tennessee, United States.

[@Bluewizard7131]

I saw them open with this in 1976 in Cincinnati when he opened for Kiss. Bob Segar blew Kiss away!

This is one of the best live albums there is. We wore it out at parties back in the '70s. Just put it on and let it rip all the way through. I've always been partial to the songs "I've Been Working" and "Bo Diddley". Both covers, but Bob sets em on fire.

went to many parties in the mid 70s and it seems like this and many other Bob Segar albums were playing on the stereo. Here's another rocker "Get out of Denver," on the Bob Seger and The Silver Bullett Band Live" album.

[@jojo-bc7sy]

Definitely the queen of rock and soul, Tina Turner… Song about her hometown. Growing up with Bob Seger in the Detroit area. This is one of our favorites that seemed to at the time to resonate. Remembering “you better watch out for the police”. Oblivious to Tina’s description, which probably had much deeper meaning and still does to this day. Respect to her awareness and struggles, and her awesome talent. BTW, love your reviews. Don’t be scared to keep it real.

Bob Seger is awesome! You guys should react to one of my favorite songs from him, "Blame It On The Moon" which was released in late 1982. You would like it and the song has great rythym. Also, Angela Bassett played Tina Turner and Lawrence Fishburn played Ike Turner in."What's Love Got To Do With It" and they were very good and both recieved Oscar nominations for their performances.

But let us never forget that Tina Turner wrote this song and broke it out. Here is a link and it's an older performance because I wanted you to see her without Ike, he stole enough of her life. Everyone who covered this song, were all good. Today, Beth Heart and Joe Bonamasa do a great job of it. Tina kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH6mp4abe7uZn6M Beth & Joe kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6bVhJZ7qat6jMk

Before this Bob did an entire album of covers called " Smokin' O.P.s ", ( other people's) that is really good, but overlooked and almost forgotten. I love that record, but I tend to dig his earlier stuff anyhow. He was the only guitar player on his early Bob Seger System LPs.

Produced by Ike Turner, "Nutbush City Limits" was recorded at the Turners' Bolic Sound recording studio in Inglewood, California in May 1973.

[@Looneyintheboonies]

I had to rewind this and watch it again!! Man, I've always loved this song, first when Tina Turner did it (she wrote this song) and then again when Bob Seger re-did it! Both versions are nasty! If you want to see Bob really gettin it and rocking with soul, check out one of the first hits he ever had when he was a little teenage Bob called "Ramblin Gamblin Man"! He had a whiskey voice even back then. Be sure and get the original old video, because he did the song later too. But he flat out rocked it when he was still a kid. ❤💃🎸🎵
