FIRST TIME HEARING Bob Seger And The Silver Bullet Band - Roll Me Away REACTION

[@RobertBreedon-c3b]

The sound track to us older people of our lives the older you get the more meaning his music takes on.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

He definitely provided the sound track to our lives.

[@sallyphillips9175]

Especially "Night Moves" -- "With autumn closing in" is a JOLT.

[@saragodres-tomes1032]

So, soooooo true!

[@saragodres-tomes1032]

​@@sallyphillips9175 That gets me every time.

[@stebstebanesier6205]

I had the smarts,but, I wasn't smart enough to do well in school. I could have taken my education further, I could have pursued any career I wanted,but, I enjoyed working with my hands. So I had one physical job after another until I got a job with a major oil company. And now after a 38 years as a refinery operator I have finally retired. Financially, I'm in great shape, physically not so much, pretty much hobbled. So with that bit of self pity out of the way, I can say that the Bob Seger that gets too me the most is "Like A Rock."

[@jeremiahrose4681]

Bob Seger is such a legend, it's undisputable.

Bob Seger He doesn't write songs, he writes STORIES set to music.

Bob Seger is an American treasure. Perfect road trip song.

[@stevesilva2780]

His songs are uniquely American, about America and nowhere else.

[@charlesshort4834]

Bob is a rocker but don’t neglect his ballads. If you haven’t yet heard Shame On The Moon, treat yourself. Never disappoints.

[@user-gt2uf8cq9y]

Seger's "The Ring" is one of the saddest (and most misunderstood) songs ever.

[@db4982]

'Understanding' and 'Beautiful Loser' are two of my favorite ballads by Seger, but there are so many.

"Roll Me Away" is one of those songs that makes your very soul soar when you hear it! There's been a few times I was listening to this on the highway only to look down and see I was going over 100 mph. This song is pure musical magic!

Hollywood Nights is like that for me, even moreso.

[@medmar76]

@@tsgeisel it's funny you mention that. Bill Payne of Little Feat was the guest piano player on "Hollywood Nights", and after they finished recording, Bob Seger let him take a copy of the song home with him. Bill put it on while driving on the highway, and before he knew it, he was driving 120 mph. There are songs that bring that out of you, you can't help it!

[@Josephshmosepf]

Lol. Been there!

[@dougking4377]

[@BadAndy2278]

The wife and I got to see Seger when he added our city to his retirement tour. It’s one of the best concerts we have seen. People often talk about Bob Dylan’s songwriting but Seger is right there. He has these stories that he tells and you can just picture it. Hollywood Nights is my favorite song of his.

[@willowthegood9035]

Bob Seger - you really need to hear his "Come to Poppa" and "Her Strut" Will make Amber blush and Jay smile

[@jerrymeadows5059]

I, too, am lost, I feel double-crossed And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right- great line

One of Bob Seger's greatest driving songs! This also reminds me, react to the film "Mask" starring Eric Stoltz, Laura Dern, Cher, and Sam Elliott! An often forgotten 80's gem. ✌️✌️

[@J2000LT]

Love your reactions to the great music of Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band! I'm with you for all of them! The first time I went to a Bob Seger concert in the mid-70's, it was at an outdoor arena (Tampa Stadium). You could buy tickets for the bleachers/seats, or being down on the field with no seats. The field was always my choice because I wanted to be able to slowly work my way closer to the stage & maybe even get close enough to get a hand slap, as I called it, or catch a guitar pick or maybe even a t-shirt on a good day. There were 4 acts that day, but seriously, I can't tell you any of the other bands because Bob & the Silver Bullet Band blew all of the other bands out of the water! I had never heard of them but their show that day made me a Bob Seger fan for life. Since then I've seen them in concert so many times and was lucky to see them for the final time in 2019. Sadly, their amazing sax player, Alto Reed, passed away in Dec. 2022 from cancer. Thank goodness we have so many great ways to remember some of the best music from the 60', 70' & beyond, right here on KZbin. Thanks again for your reactions, I really enjoy hearing both of you give your thoughts! 😊

[@kinjakahn]

"The Fire Inside" has to be the next Bob Seger stop.... it has fantastic piano.

[@patriciapappas4087]

I have seen him so many times through out the years, including his farewell tour. He has always been one hell of a singer!

[@patriciamonsivaiz3305]

I saw him on that same tour, 2018 "Roll Me Away" tour in Houston, TX. The show was delayed 2 hours due to violent thunderstorms. We were at an outdoor venue with lightning and thunder and I thought "Well, if I get struck by lightining, I"ll die listening to a great rock icon." It was worth it!

[@1177kc]

I’m 61,I’ve seen hundreds of concerts but seeing him live in 1981-still one of the best shows I’ve EVER seen.

[@stevewalsh4850]

I’m 61 also, seen Bob a few times, also in 81 in Dallas

Another great Michigan Rocker, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band! The keyboardist Craig Frost was with Grand Funk in the 1970s before going back to the Silver Bullet Band where he bagan.

You guys need to do Night Moves by Bob Seger! You keep missing it and its one of the best :D

[@murraytown4]

‘Night Moves’ would be a good follow up to this one the next time you have a Bob moment. IMO it’s one of his most iconic and earliest big hits and launched his career. It’s great storytelling. It has a similar vibe to this one which came out about 6 years later.

[@bigreenize]

My favorite Bob Seger song! Thank you so much!

[@keithralston1133]

Bob's one of the best story tellers and love that voice.

[@robertdoyle4510]

My absolute favorite Seger song and lyric…full of so many beautiful observations- ‘stood alone on a mountaintop’ ‘spoke to the faintest first starlight,’everything about this takes you on the journey. You feel it and the music carries you, up and down those roads. The piano player was mentioned-though in this video it is Silver Bullet member Craig Frost, the studio version is Roy Bittan from the East Street Band. It actually started off more mid-tempo, but during a studio break they turned it into THIS! ‘Nuff said!

[@jdgolf499]

A song that was never released as a single, but my absolute favorite Seger song is Famous Final Scene. The mastery of the lyrics, and the melodys are absolutely AMAZING!

My 20 year old daughter at the time bought tickets for the two of us to see Bob Seger in 2019 for his Roll Me Away final tour for Father’s Day! It was an unforgettable concert in his hometown of Clarkston, Mi. It was so great to have that time with my daughter since she’s been away to college. Great bonding time on our 5 hour ride there from the Chicago area, had an amazing time at the concert, then rode all the way back home talking about the concert and catching up on life! It was the greatest gift ever!!! Bob Seger rocked and Alto Reed basically stole the show with his powerful Sax! We were both shocked and saddened to hear of his passing the very next year. R.I.P. Alto, thanks for the amazing experience and the unforgettable memory of that great day!

I've been a fan of Bob Seger from the beginning. His songs touch my heart and soul like no others. Saying that I have to say I've listened to so many reactions from different people and I can tell whom is also touched by his songs and whom is not really listening. The two of you are definitely one out of many that I believe really listen and not only understand the song you also feel it. Imo thats a gift.when you're older you'll appreciate these songs even more. Great Job ⭐

[@pacebrison1453]

This song played over the end credits of Mask (with Cher and Sam Elliott. Not The Mask with Jim Carey). That was the first time I heard it and it instantly became my favorite Bob Segar song. I’d like to suggest Mask for a future Movie Monday or Film Friday. Bob Segar’s music is played throughout. Of course there is also a version with Bruce Springsteen’s music as well. Springsteen was the director’s original choice. They couldn’t get the rights initially.

[@MrHws5mp]

Nice one - I left almost the exact same comment, so maybe they'll take it on board: I'd love to see them react to Mask (or anyone do it for that matter: it's kinda forgotten these days). I didn't know about the Bruce Springsteen version, but honestly, I couldn't imagine Mask without this song now. Like you, I discovered Bob Seger because of it.
