Bob Seger on Later with Bob Costas (circa1991) 

I can't imagine my life without Bob Seger's music.

Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band are the greatest group I have ever heard. I went to their concert in 2019 and they sounded as good as they did when they first started. I danced and sang and had a great time. I am 69 years old and that was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. It was excellent! The band rocked it. I was very sorry to hear the sax player passed away. We are losing a lot of our old rockers. They are in their 60’s and 70’s now. No one will ever take their place. ❤️🌹❤️

My mom played Bob Seger constantly when I was a child in the late 70's early 80's. She died when I was 8 years old and I will always listen to Bob Seger to remind me of her. Accomp'ny Me really brings the emotions to the surface. He's an amazing artist.

I live 1 mile from Bob and I have always appreciated that he gave up touring for over 10 years when he finally had children in Cole and Samantha and devoted his life in watching them grow up. Enjoy your retirement Bob we will miss your shows but its time to relax again and enjoy your family as your children now know what you do for work.

It's so easy to forget how damn good Costas was as a host, and Seger has always been a treasure!

He talks about "I think if I had a child, I'd wanna be there for the formative years"... and then he went and DID IT. Stopped touring for 10 years! Pure class. Great father.

Love, love Bob Seger. He has always remained grounded and is revered in his home state Michigan. ❤️

I was sitting in the Nashville airport one day in the mid 80's. Across the the seat from me sat down this man who looked damn familiar. I finally figured it out. THAT'S BOB SEGER. Finally got up and said; Mr SEGER,and he said, I will never forget it,he said my name is Bob. I was floored. We went with small talk talk, but for some reason we just had a connection. Bob said, hey let's have a beer. Imagine a good old country boy from down off Monteagle Mt in Grundy county. The weather was bad and they had a ground stop on us. We sat and drank beer. Now I'm gonna say. The most down to earth,a man who loves his family. Bob, thanks for giving a good old country boy his 15 min of fame. You're not a beautiful loser. You're an incredible loser. I will send you some moonshine. Good stuff

My first Bob Seger concert was after the release of Night Moves. Golden Earring was the opening band. I think my ticket cost me eight fifty. When they played Main Street Alto Reed played his sax from a cat walk with the spot light focused on him. I remember people lighting up joints and passing them down the aisles. I have seen Bob several times since then but the first concert was the best.

"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." One of the best lyrics ever. So simple, but hits home. The sentiment normal working people feel often, the loss of innocence to the reality of the grind.

I have loved this man's music since I was a 15 yr old Freshman in high school. And wow, what a great laugh he's got! 😊 Bob Seger is so very underrated, and I just cannot fathom how. Who couldn't love a guy like him?????

I’m 26 years old and just got into Seger in the past year or so as I’ve gotten really into vinyls. He’s now my favorite person to listen to.

Michigan accent 🥰 This guy is the real deal . Legend

Love his laugh. Had me LOL. Not a phony bone in Bob Seger.

Bob Seger's the best rocker ever!

Both Bobs are awesome. Seger's songs stand up and he is a humble great dude!

Bob seems more down to earth than some people I meet from day today! Glad to have found this gem.

Bob Seger has the sexiest voice in Rock n Roll.

I love Turn the Page. The way Bob belts out those lyrics, especially in the climax at the end just rocks my world like nothing else. ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮ PEACE TO BOB ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮

There was a story in the news a few years ago, where a woman who had been in a coma for =7 years = suddenly woke up, and right away said she wanted to go to a Bob Seger concert...for real ! Bob heard about it and arranged it all for her, giving her the VIP treatment. How great is that !

🖤🥀Excellent interview with Bob Seger he's so creative and and a powerful artist. I love all of his song's I've got many albums from the 70s on up. He's a amazing person. Thanks for posting this video it's priceless and unbelievable🥀🖤✌☝️

Great interview. Both of them talked from the heart. Bob Seger is just a talented nice person.

What a national treasure Bob Seger is. An amazingly talented songwriter and musician with an unforgettable voice. Just love the guy.👍👍

This was a great interview. I'm glad I ran across it. I love Bob Seeger. His music has meant so much to me for so long. The songs , the voice; there's only one Bob Seeger. I feel blessed to have been in his era of Rock and Roll. God bless him !

Bob Seger is so down to earth, I would love to meet him.

there is nothing this guy can't make into an absolutely riveting story, not only with his words but with his voice. EVEN HIS SPEAKING VOICE, EVEN HIS LAUGH.

his laugh is surprisingly contagious XD i would love to listen to his stories all day

For me, "Hollywood Nights" is my favorite drive mixtape when your out on the highway taking a long road trip. And it's interviews like this that make RU-vid great. It's fantastic to be able to find these gems of great interviews with a legend like Bob Seger. We also get to see the diversity of the interview skills of Bob Costas.

My all time favorite artist. I *finally* got to see him live in 2011 (I truly thought it would never happen!) Totally worth the wait. I lost my h.s. best friend a couple of years ago. She used to lend me her ID so I could dance the night away at my very first/fav bar. Our anthem was Old Time Rock 'n Roll (live version). I can still see my gypsy soul friend rocking out to it on that dance floor. There's not a person in my life, Bob doesn't know. He's always been along for the ride.

Bob ive been bleesed in my life listening to your Music thankyou

Great interview! Both Bobs are smart, informed and thoughtful men.

The Bob & Bob show! both of these guys are terrific at what they do! What a beautifully honest conversation!

This guy and his musicians deserve every Rock award there is... Some of my best days were at their concerts. Bob speaking of the "Wall of Sound" made me want to go back and listen to all his songs, to see which had the most of it.

Have seen Bob Seger in concert 8 times in 8 different states! He’s a true Rock & Roll Legacy! Love you Bob Seger! Patty Caruso, Lake City, FL

Didn't need any music here, no worries.. what a fantastic interview. I saw Seger in concert in New York city way back when he was sporting all that long beautiful hair. What a fantastic concert it was! His music always resonated with me and I am so happy that I have just rediscovered him. His music is timeless. Had a chuckle when he mentioned Bette Midler asking for a Bob Seger ballad. lol Guess she also had good taste.

I grew up in Detroit and had the pleasure of seeing Bob many times.

The death of his Detroit buddy Glenn Frey hit him hard..

He didn’t mention the song we all covered in the early days of The Bob Seger System. Ramblin Gamblin Man, was the earliest Segar song that came to mind and for some reason he didn’t pay homage to those days.

One of the GREATEST storytellers of all time.......if there was one concert I could attend, it would be Bob Seger......he always put’s me “in the mood”!

Great interview!! Bob's just like I thought he would be. Just shows how much heart & soul he puts in his songs!

What a Great interview that I have not seen before. Ty for sharing this about such a Great song writer , singer & all around decent person & Living Legend Bob Seger..from a fan since the late 1960's ty Mr. Seger ❤

Love seeing Bob Seger laugh, what a rocker gem he is!! Hi from KaZOO Mr. Bob Seger!! Loved your concerts!!!

Terrific interview. Always loved the music, but really love the man Seger became. thanx

After seeing him at Pine Knob IN 77! MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME - FAV TUNE (TURN THE PAGE!!!)

I'm only 1:45 in and he already seems like the coolest guy in rock and roll that I've ever seen interviewed. Wish I could chat with him for an hour!

Best Seger ballad. Down on Main Street

. I SO wish that instead of asking Seger if "Night Moves" is his best song (7:56), Costas had instead simply asked him, "What is your best song?".....and also (at some point) asked him which of his albums is his favorite (and/or his "best"). Overall though, a pretty great interview.....thank you VERY much for not only posting this, but doing all the editing you mention above, in order for us to be able to see/hear all this all in one piece.......MUCH appreciated !! .

great singer and all-round class act. by all accounts, one of the nicest guys in the music biz

Bob Seger is a great interviewee and Bob Costas is a great interviewer. I would love to hear Terry Gross talk to Bob.

Thanks for the memories Bob!!!!!!!

Bob Seger needs to pen an autobiography. I know he released a book, but it was more of a picture/memory book. I want to know about the details about how "Main Street" was recorded. I want to know more about his experiences of being in southern California in the late 70's. I want to know about how "Against the Wind" was recorded, and how he reacted when so many rock critics who adored his work felt it was a sell out album. He is one of the few, legendary rockers that we know almost nothing about. I don't have a need to hear about the details of his personal life and his family, but I want to read about his recollections and memories about how his records were done. I was listening to "Stranger In Town" last night, and I realized that I know more about how "Duke" from Genesis was recorded, how "Brothers and Sisters" from the Allman Bros. Band was recorded, how "On The Border" from the Eagles was recorded and how "Dirt" from Alice In Chains was recorded than "Stranger In Town." "Stranger" is an absolute masterpiece. Come on Bob, put out that autobiography! John Mellencamp is another artist who really needs to publish an autobiography. I don't know anything about how "The Lonesome Jubilee" was recorded, or what motivated him to write "Hurt So Good."

I saw him open for Kiss in Baltimore I think when I was in high-school around 75...to this day one of the best live shows I've ever seen

"'Til It Shines" will always be my favorite Seger song.

First time I’ve seen Bob Seger interviewed. What a nice, reflective, open man.

❤Bob!!! My son plays BOB for me all day for my birthday!! We jam to him in his truck !! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fabulous laugh ! I grew up going to his concerts love him .

Great interview with the 2 iconic Bob's. Rock and Roll Never Forgets.

I saw Bob Seger down in Florida over 20 years ago and he did three encores because he cared so much about how the people felt and that they wanted more what a great guy and what an incredible concert.

❤❤❤❤ .. was led here from the podcast.. I have been a fan of Bob Seger since 1966 at the tender age of 10 ; I'm a born and raised Detroiter. First time I saw him was at the Howell Armory right before the Beautiful Loser album came out. Then both nights at Cobo Hall that was recorded and became the Live Bullet album which I have the anniversary edition ( got it last year) .. Saw him at the Pontiac Siverdome and Pine Knob . I'm 66 years old now , Rock and roll never forgets

A national treasure. Voice is unmatched

I was young when Seger was at his best and he is incredible. A great songwriter/ singer from my hometown.

I was a lucky kid. I grew up in Michigan and seen Seger back in 1973. We were all so proud.

He's only 5 years older than me, so I grew up listening to his music from an early age, and he's always been one of my favorites

This guy is as intelligent as his music is genius

One of the biggest musical influences in my taste in music. It speaks to my soul. As I aged , I understand some of his lyrics-like the end of night moves. Ain’t it funny how the night moves, when you just don’t seem to have as much to lose…strange how the night moves. With Autumn closes it in…….speaks to me about aging and the end of life.

He is a national treasure. What a memory also, holy crap!

I love his realism! He really made Chevy ownership a popular thing.

Bob Seger :" I wish I had a voice like Steve Winwood" Steve Winwood probably saying : I wish I had a voice like Bob Seger

Like A Rock - Bob Seger your music is with me always. Thank you ❤❤❤

2024 and I still listen to Rock N Roll Everyday

As a young fan of Bob Seger I didn’t know Bob laughed and carried on like this!!! I bet he’s the greatest friend ever to have!

Saw Bob twice on his final tour. He did not disappoint.

Gotta love Bob Seger seen him in concert a few years back he still kicks ass

I was 13 when the guy down the holler was throwing a party. I keep hearing the words night moves. So I go to my neighbors and ask the daughter about the song she had the album. I fell in love with his music.

Was and is a sweetheart of a guy. Thanks for everything Bob

Excellent! Thanks for posting this. I love Bob Seger's music and saw him in concert back ~1987 but really didn't know much about the man behind the music.

Awesome!! Thank you for posting!

Thank you for all of the great music. You are such a great writer. Thank you

My very first concert, August 1977, 14 years old(about to begin 9th grade), Pine Knob Music Theater, Clarkston, Michigan(so a “home town” show for Bob)……my introduction to live music. 🙏🎶😎

What a day....just listened to a wonderful story!

I've said it many times, whenever a road trip is in the offering, "Live Bullet", is the first choice. That hasn't changed in 45 years.

Thanks for posting!

An excellent interview with two amazing men. Costas is superb as a host, doesn't speak over Seger at any time. Great to get a personal view of Bob Seger and his verisimilitude and ability to pull-out memories with grace is good to see. He's a great artist and has created so many songs that have changed the world, it's heart-warming to view his humility and great story-telling skills. Thanks for posting this terrific interview. It builds on my admiration for Bob Seger as a maestro!

Great interview. Love both Bobs! Stayed up too late a lot of work nights, but it was worth it.

So few interviews with Bob. Very cool and one of my biggest music heroes!

Bobs music will be played for ever, because we still Love That Old Time Rock and Roll. Bobs a bad man!

Bob is so approachable and honest. 🍃❣️🍃

Bob yr the man in my books...

This is great!! I had never seen this interview before. Bob Seger is one of my favorite rock and roll artists. His songs speak to your heart and soul. Live he is truly one of the best and I saw him live from 1981 thru the 2010s. Just amazing shows!! I have heard from people who actually know Bob or someone close to him that he is a genuine and kind person. One of my favorite people on the whole planet!!!

Appreciate the shout out to WALC Nashville. I listened to that station as a kid in the 60's. Tho he didn't mention it, I think Bob Seeger opened for Iggy and the Stooges as well!

Seger obviously loves sports, so I'm really sure that he and Costas would make good party buddies ( I hesitate to say drinking buddies after hearing their childhood stories), Costas had a great show and I'm sorry I missed watching this back in 1991. Very forthcoming and totally believable two guys.

Yep ❤ Bob Seger, my kids already know which of his songs to play at my Funeral, or what ever they do for me🤗

I love disco the bee gee are awesome I love them and I love Bob segar I love the older music I am 62 i am a music Greek. Music is my natural high.

Thx! Love Bob Seger forever. 💜

Thanks for posting this. I loved Costas' show, he was such a great interviewer, and I've never forgotten him telling the story about the dream he had about his father. It's great to be able to see this moment again.

Night Moves is simply the best Rock & Roll song of all time.

Saw his 60’s intro and fell in love with his humble presence then... he’s still so incredibly sexy. Just sayin’...

In 1981, as a "tween", my stepmom got me a radio and I heard BETTY LOU'S GETTING OUT TONIGHT and I fell in love with Bob Seger and music in general. 🎶 It's funny once my grandson was going dressed as some little band member for Halloween & I said, "nobody knows who that is. Ya should go as Bob Seger". And he asked "Whose Bob Seger?" So I turned him on to KATMANDU and he's 18 now and a die-hard Bob Seger fan. My sister promised me that they're gonna play ROLL ME AWAY at my funeral. Thanks for the music, Bob! You were always the man 🎶🎵 💜

Bob’s early stuff lays the foundation for have the rock n roll in existence today. He pressed out all boundaries outward. Love the Seger System most.

This is a good interview,Bob was always on the radio as I grew up,he is,all ways will be a part of my life as a singer,RIP Bob Seger
