Bob Seger is one of the best musicians to come out of Michigan and 🤘🤘🤘

[@btech09]

Great story behind the lead guitar here. A 16 year old kid and his parents were on vacation, driving through Mussel Shoals and the kid said stop here! He went into the studio (while they were laying tracks for this song) and asked he could record something with them. Normally, they would have kicked him out, but it was so audacious they said ok. He played the solo and when Segar was sent the demo his band couldn't find a better lick and just left it in for the record.

[@suzy9342]

Seger is The King of Detroit Rock and Roll

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

Seger has many hard rocking songs.

[@steveg5933]

Old Time Rock & Roll, Turn the Page, Sunspot Baby, Hollywood Nights, Fire Lake, Night Moves , We've Got Tonight, Her Strut, Ramblin Gamblin Man , Travelin Man/Beautiful Loser off of Live Bullet. These are just Seger's songsof the top of my head . This is a very deep rabbit hole. Enjoy the ride!

[@debbiechang5781]

Bob Seger is the real deal! Seriously Harri, he requires a very deep dive. May I suggest “Turn the Page” or “Still the Same”. You are so right that he is multi talented!! An American treasure. Thanks for appreciating this great man. 🌺✌️

[@DK-ed7be]

Main Street, Night Moves, and many, many more.

[@darlaflorence7428]

Do You Believe in Magic. A good song. Loving Spoonful I think.

[@StevesFunhouse]

You'd be correct Darla but, you might want to pose it as a request instead of a statement. It's hard deriving meanings when they are ambiguous, especially when you have thousands of comments to read ... for each video uploaded, and not a lot of time. Just trying to help. I love that song, BTW and would certainly, also love to see Harri react to it.

[@CB-gr1uk]

Another mover of his is Betty Lou's Gettin Out Tonight. A must listen!

Bob Seger has his own sound and doesn't need to mimic anyone else!

[@genekillingsworth8994]

I do agree but this was definitely inspired by Little Richard and the style was no accident.

[@ralphkern380]

@@genekillingsworth8994 Absolutely. We are the sum total of all our experiences, and in this time period, you just know that Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee had influence on the style. And Seeger is a rocker first, and then branched out.

Bob Seger can do anything. Try Sunspot Baby, Betty Lou's Gettin; Out Tonight, Or Hollywood Nights!

[@matthewteague623]

"Turn the Page" is a deep soul-stirring song. But do not overlook "Hollywood Nights", either. More upbeat, and just as powerful.

[@unclestinky6388]

This song received a second life when it was featured in the 1983 Tom Cruise movie Risky Business.

[@snakelite61]

I can't hear it without picturing a young Cruise dancing in his underwear. It was a star-making moment. If anyone has t seen it, it's here on KZbin and it's fun.

[@dsusan17]

SEGER! Seger has such a diverse catalog. When you listened to Jim Croce you were amazed at his versatility. That is the way Seger is. Another song in the same vein is Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight and Fire Down Below. I love Turn The Page and Like A Rock Still The Same. I don't think you can go wrong with Bob Seger! Great pick and reaction Harri!

[@aviatom1]

Bob can sing anything😁

[@lnetscoutnshelby5691]

THE BIGGEST Bob Seger fan here. A GIGANTIC rabbit hole. Please check out LIKE A ROCK (official video please), ROLL ME AWAY (Vevo video off Bob Seger channel please) inspired by a Harley road trip he took. SUNSPOT BABY (live 5:20 version from RockinRosie Donnell channel). Not the best audio, but Sooo much fun! LOVE how much the audience gets into it.

He is a classic rocker. I love, Like a Rock, Her Strut, Ship of fools, Katmandu, Heavy Music, Ramblin Gamblin Man, Sunspot Babe. Glenn Fry of The Eagles played with him for some time before he and Don Henley got together. Bob Seger is a rock treasure. He is an original, does not have to copy anybody. Good choice Harri.

[@mikebailey3723]

My favorite Seger songs are " Night Moves" and " Roll Me Away" b

[@kikiki4592]

He released this song at the hieght of disco, so in that context, he was dead on, and one of the few rock artist that thrived instead of dropping off when disco was all of he rage in this time.

[@rudewalrus5636]

Seger was (is) from Michigan. I remember back then one of the major Detroit radio stations actually started a sort of fan club (you could get a proper membership card and everything) called DREAD - which stood for Detroit Rockers Engaged in the Abolition of Disco. It's no wonder Seger thrived even then, at least on his home turf in Michigan.

I guess I'm a relic, too. I'm sneaking up on 76 in a few weeks. It has become clear to me from watching many of these reaction videos done by a cross section of young people that you/they agree. There is much of the "older" music that appeals to today's young people. I don't begrudge any generation for liking their music just I did when was growing up in the 1940's, 50's and 60's. But recognizing that other music has value as well is simply wonderful and exciting. My praise to you all for doing this and sharing your discovery.

[@edithdavis2848]

Following you looking at 72 next month. It's nice seeing so many younger people learning and enjoying the great music we grew up with.

Same here. It works both ways. My 38 year old son likes old and new, I guess he got the old from me. However he also introduced me to some I would never have listened to.

"Turn the Page" is definitely a different side of Seger but powerful. If push comes to shove it's my favorite. Billy Joel wrote an answer to this song. ",It's Still Rock and Roll to Me".

[@The5thGen]

A few other good Seeger songs - Sunspot Baby, Mainstreet, Rock n Roll Never Forgets, Turn The Page, Night Moves. I really like Sunspot Baby. It's a forgotten classic.

[@JohnHazelwood58]

First time I heard it was on a TV show called "ALF" (< Alien Life Form), where Alf performed it funny as hell in the late 80s or early in 90s! It was just like 30 seconds or a minute, but close to the original video! Check out ALFs video and to compare .. I think Tom Cruise did the scene as template for that one in a movie. So ALF was just a parody! Fun to watch! :-)

[@TheCkent100]

Hi Harri. Bob is very much a rocker. Thus far, you've been pretty much exposed to his mellower hits. His record company preferred to release his ballads as singles, so that is what is usually most requested of reactors. But he's got plenty of rockers and he got a lot of airplay on "album oriented rock (AOR)" radio stations, which are now referred to as "classic rock" radio. Try "Katmandu", "Rock and Roll Never Forgets", "Hollywood Nights", "Feel Like A Number", "The Fire Down Below", "The Horizontal Bop", "Her Strut", "Even Now", "American Storm"...just to name a few of his rockers. And this song was his answer to the disco trend of the late 70's. Needless to say, he wasn't a fan.

[@pjwiz5273]

Kudos on Seger choices.🖒 and I well remember album radio, war on disco, and nothin but music. Backdrop to my whole life for the last 60 years! 😎😉

[@lauralane4808]

The first time I heard Somewhere Tonight I couldn't place his voice until the chorus. Try The Ring and Like a Rock as well.

[@sourisvoleur4854]

Very different song from Mr. Seger, slow and thoughtful, is "Mainstreet." As soon as I heard it, it became my favorite of his.

[@mrchips4489]

Great song to dance to 'back in the day.'

[@ww7883]

Bob's work in the 60s was very funky with psychedelia mixed in. He was influenced by James Brown, Little Richard, old blues, Bill Halley and the Comets, etc. Listen to Lucifer off the album Mongrel from 1970...pure funk. He covered Old Time Rock & Roll, Come to Poppa off of Night Moves, and a few Tom Waits' songs. Most of these never hit the airwaves because his originals were so strong. Check out the jazzy Tom Waits cover New Coat of Paint off of the album Fire Inside.

[@davidstenton4365]

*Harri* I gotta say, it makes me smile knowing it just so happened to be me that inspired you to start reacting to Bob....! He's just an amazing storyteller..! 4 down, bout 30 to go my friend.!!! Much respect...*David* .....

ANOTHERRRR GREAT AWESOME ALBUM ( STRANGER IN TOWN ) FROM SEGER HARRI :) HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS, STILL THE SAME, BRAVE STRANGERS, WE'VE GOT TONIGHT :) THIS ALBUM WAS RIGHT AFTER ( NIGHT MOVES )

[@tonydelapa1911]

There are several other great tunes on that album (Stranger In Town). I really like “Still The Same,” a great choice if you are interested in a voice and piano workout. “Feel Like A Number” is an excellent song about being fed up with being a small part of our big population. You chose a great one to start with though. I never thought about the Little Richard semblance but kind of see it now. Thanks, Harri!

[@steveunderwood2356]

Famous final scene is a good song

[@theghost6412]

A very time I hear this song I think of the kids show Alf, the episode he does a Risky Business impersonation then gets busted by the family walking in mid singing and finding the place trashed and fridge and pantry empty.

[@april6058]

I believe this is one of his early songs- listen to him sing Kathmandu is vocally very similar.

[@StevesFunhouse]

Oh Harri, my man ... I took a look and, you've only done his slow songs ... you just haven't heard enough of Bob Seger. He has many, MANY songs like this. I would love to see you react to Katmandu (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iajQi3SarNOZa5Y ), first and foremost. It is an AWESOME live recording for the Live Bullet album that'll get your motor runnin' ... for sure !!! Other great more Gritty, Rocky songs you should react to are The Fire Down Below, Shakedown (Beverly Hills Cop II), Sunspot Baby, Hollywood Nights, Her Strut

[@joelmiller6633]

this one came out in 1976. Bob wrote it and sang it. Little Richard never sang it that i know of

I love your musicians ear and appreciation for the soundtrack of my life. From An American Girl. I got a thing for T Petty, too. 😎😉

[@josephliddle309]

Late 70s was when Disco was getting bigger in competition with Rock. Seger was saying he didn't like the new Disco sound and preferred the more traditional rock n roll, heavily influenced by yes Lil Richard, Chuck Berry and the Stones etc.

[@susanlawens3776]

I have a love/hate relationship with Bob Seger. And that is because Detroit was just a little to the east of where I grew up, just west of Lansing, Michigan. My middle school music teacher, her cousin was Bob Seger's manager, so she got all his sheet music for free. Great songs, Turn the Page, Against the Wind, etc., but, nothing sounds worse than middle schoolers ruining a perfectly good song. Plus most of it was over our heads. Anyway, love Bob Seger to death, but I can still hear the middle schoolers butchering his songs in my head. I was one of the middle schoolers, and I apologize to anyone who had to hear us. Oh, also, fun fact, her name was Miss Seman (sp?), and I didn't know what all the snickering and giggling was about until later on.

[@StevesFunhouse]

That's a great story !!!

[@anneschreck5136]

I think you're joking when you ask about his comment about the old music being the only good music, and I don't think Bob Seger was saying that there was no more good music at the time. He's saying that some of the other music, in particular Disco, isn't what he wants to hear. I graduated high school in the mid-70s, and to many of us it was a sad thing when Disco started playing in the rock and roll clubs.
