Bob is hugely influenced by the Stax Soul Singers. Wilson Picket, Otis Redding, Rufas Thomas etc Hid earliest material is straight up soul and & early rock, then he really developed his own thing with that strong foundation.
Just reposting comment from your reaction of Floyd: Bro, you’re my hero. The fact that someone at 18 yrs old during the time of this reaction loves Pink Floyd as much as we did at your age and defined a generation and you recognize it’s the pinnacle of music-can’t get better than this instrumentally or lyrically and without faux modern technology. I’m 54 going on 55 in September and your reaction to Bob Seger’s Night Moves drove me here. A nostalgic song about young love that was the song of the summer back in ‘76 while I was at sleep away camp hearing it blast from one of my counselor’s transitor radios in my bunk all summer long and bringing back memories of the summer I danced with a girl for the first time at a social. If you want to hear Seger’s best live vocal listen to “Turn the Page” live! You give us hope that this new generation understands and appreciates the music, bands and artists that came before!
Well, you've hit on another of my favorites! Bob Seger is a fabulous song writer and singer, so many great tunes. And, yep, he sounds that good live. You can find YT videos to verify that. :) Very nice reaction, thanks! Edit: Speaking of blues, you've reacted to a few songs by another favorite of mine, Led Zeppelin, and if you dig blues, you should give a listen to more of their blues songs if you haven't already.
I was fortunate enough to see Bob live 13 times, first in 1977 and last in 2019, two weeks before his final retirement tour show ~ Bob came to be known as the Road Warrior, King of Arena Rock and Legend of Live, because he gigged like 300 nights/year ~ On many songs, I always thought he sounded better live ~ His 1976 Live Bullet album is still considered one of the best live albums of all time ~ Do yourself a musical favor and listen to it from start to finish ~ His cover of Tina Turner's Nutbush City Limits will blow your socks off!!
This made my morning, especially after the dentist! this was much better than a lollipop afterwards hahaa Bob Seger is such a backdrop to my life, as a kid raised on radio, so I love these reactions to help me to remember not to take these greats for granted! We tended to get burned out from overkill on the radio, believe it or not... I saw Bob live almost 10 years ago now, he does still sound this great, but the crowd was a bunch of STIFFS! I jumped up, singing along & dancing to "Hollywood Nights"
Love your appreciation for Bob. He was always a favorite. Old Time Rock’n’Roll, Hollywood Nights, Mainstreet, Against the Wind, and my favorite, Turn the Page. Metallica later did a cover that’s great, but I preferBob’s original.
And it is such a well-written song as well. Everything about it is just well written and well-constructed and then of course his voice can bring so much emotion to it. You ought to hear his slow ballad called Turn the Page. I just realized something fascinating about the song. It got popular when I was in junior high and high school and I went out and bought the album and played it a lot and we all knew it and like I said it was on the radio all the time. Along with others of his hits. But this song is about a guy in the late 70s who is reminiscing about his teenage years. So the things he is talking about were exactly the things I was going through being a teen myself even though it was a long time later than the setting of the story. And then in that slow part, he hints that he is much older, he can feel Autumn closing in. And his mind drifts back to those hot summer teenage nights with that girl where they taught each other so much, trying to lose those awkward teenage blues, as he says. But listening to it just now, and it still sounds absolutely great to me, in fact it sounds better than it ever did because I understand a lot more about singing now, but it struck me that here I am at age 60 listening to an old song from my teen years and remembering those times, which in turn was a song about an older man remembering back to HIS teen years and the things they did in the 1960s. .
If you ever heard a Chevy truck commercial for years used the phrase, "Like A Rock", which was taken directly from a Bob Seger tune. Check out his double live album, "Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band", you'll love it!!
Love your reactions dude. Bob's a great rabbit hole to go down. My wife and I saw him in Columbus Ohio a couple of years ago. Still killing it. His voice is still great!
Bob Seger is a favorite - He is a 13 time Grammy winner and also in the Rock & Roll hall of fame. Known as the Detroit Boy that is one of the best story tellers and reflects upon life in many ways. Plenty of Bob Seger to listen to from 2 + 2, Night Moves; Running Against the Wind; Like a Rock; Shamed by the Moon; Turn the Page; Just Roll With it ; You'll Accompany Me; and Main Street.
Your reactions are so good, I think people thought this(my generation) of music was all hard rock but that’s not true. So many great varieties of music were going on.! This and Hollywood nights are my 2 favorite songs of his. Your great!!
So much great Bob Seger - you'll get a lot a good suggestions. In addition to being a great singer, he's a helluva great songwriter and performer who's equally adept at rockers and ballads. I'd suggest Turn the Page...it's slower and moodier, but if enjoy really feeling a song, you can't do much better.
Seger had that strong voice into his 70's. His catalog is endless and has a little of everything as far as genres he does. Blues, country and of course rock and roll. He is a music treasure who was underrated for sure, so its nice to see you cover and appreciate Bob. Want a bluesy song from him try 'Come to Poppa' or even better would be his Live album, one of top selling live albums by anyone. Enjoy
You have no idea how much it warms my heart to see the younger generation appreciating Bob. He is an American treasure. If you haven't done any other Bob you should do more... My personal favorites other than this song are Traveling man / beautiful loser (live) Hollywood nights Roll me away Against the wind
"Does he sound that good live?". Don't take our word for it. Check out a few cuts off of "Live Bullet" (I mean, the best thing would be play it end-to-end). I could rattle off a few that I love (and I'm sure people will), but a lot of them are on that album. Bob and the Silver Bullet Band were a raging freight train. Do it. If you like Bob, you should also checkout Van Morrison. If Bob wasn't directly influenced by Van (and I'd bet he was), then he must have listened to same things. I hear a lot of Van in Bob's performances. I get the generation thing and I guess I'm inclined to agree; so much has been lost and it probably isn't coming back. But having said so, a lot of us went through the same thing you're going through now. You start tracing it back. Who did these incredible people listen to? And, in turn, who did *they* listen to, and so on. Rock of this era is a great thing, but there's *so* much incredible music, going all the way back to the beginning of audio recording. You could easily spend your life tracking that stuff down and it would be a *good* life. EDIT: OK, I'll throw in Main Street. It's a groove.
Uh oh, now you've done it. You've fallen into the very deep rabbit hole of Bob Seger. You can pick any song from his catalog and you will love it. He had so many hits and left so many memories on me. This was my song in high school so many years ago. "Turn the Page" is an anthem of his time on the road and is truly amazing and a must listen.
Love it! Bob Seger is the man! Such a good story teller & vocalist. I saw him in concert in the 80s. I love how he uses double meanings in his lyrics. He starts out talking about workin' on those night moves. "Moves" is a thing. A noun. Then, in the breakdown, he says "Ain't it funny how the night moves. Changes the meaning and the impact of that line.
Yes, he sounded that good live - with a band behind him that could blow the roof off of an outdoor concert. Hollywood Nights for a rocker, DOwn On Main STreet for more of this sound.
How does Bob Segar sound live?🤔 I haven't seen a video of him live but audio? Oh yeah, Turn The Page from an early live album , dont know the name of the album tho. Someone here will. That version of that song is one of the most iconic recordings in history in my opinion. Strap in and enjoy the ride if you can get to it. I hope you do bc you will be blown away. Awesome reaction as usual ✌🏼✌🏼
Nice! I saw your reactions to Pink Floyd's "Time" and "Comfortably Numb" a couple of years ago and kind of lost track of your reactions. Glad I ran into this one! Bob Seger is tremendous. Also glad you've got a whole lot of discovery ahead of you yet! Some many superstar artists and songs and so little time... I'd suggest David Bowie, Slade, ELO and Alice Cooper for starters! 😀
Turn the Page and Like a Rock are fabulous. Every young person NEEDS to hear Like a Rock. 😊 Others: We’ve Got Tonight, The Fire Down Below, Mainstreet, and Her Strut. Really, you can’t go wrong.
First time I saw him was 1975 when he and Styx opened for KISS. I saw him again in 1980. He is better live. The 1980 show is online under Capitol Centre Largo MD where Wash DC held concerts. He retired I think last year.
Segar is phenomenal live. Saw him back in the 80s. I think he still tours. Ienjoy your channel. I think its awesome when today's youth discover real music.
Just reposting comment from your reaction on Floyd: Bro, you’re my hero.

My first concert ever, Bob Seger Night Moves tour, 1977, floor seats, but nobody sat in their seat as everybody was standing on their chairs dancing 22nd row on the floor. $8.75 tickets. Those were the days
You like blues, great singers, people that write their own music. DUDE! You've got to hear Credence Clearwater Revival, also known as CCR. Don't sleep on this!
nice smooth old segar number. mighty fine, bruh. thanks for this little reminder of my yesterday. wicked cool to see you broadening your musical horizons and discovering our music. I like your style. keep-a-rocking. shoutout from this old, longhaired hippy dude in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. go with God. peace and love. see ya on the next.
You young man have a lot of years to go yet, lord willing, to sit back and just remember the days past. Hopefully you will get that chance. We older folks still stretch our weary old brains remembering, some with smiles some with tears, but all are memories. There are some newer videos of him older you can find out for yourself. Try Segers "old time rock and roll" song. It's fast and fun and wonderful. It will pump you up!!! ☺
Yes, he sounded that great live when I saw him twice in the late 70's. He's 77 now. Listen to Get Out of Denver from his Live Bullet album from 1975. In fact, that album is incredible all the way thru.
I'd really like you to check out The Moody Blues from their live DVD called Nights in White Satin... like Floyd they sound just as good as the studio cut... full on instruments a must see and hear
If you really want to hear one of the best singers in RnR check out. Ronnie James Dio | Rainbow's "Stargazer" and the guitarist puts on a good beginners lick.
Bro - You've got to hear the original version of "Main Street" The Recorded version, maybe with the lyrics. It's a true experience he had in Michigan. I'm 64 and so diggin you getting turned on tho great music. I like your Mom, too! She's a gamer!
Bob was still touring a couple years ago. I saw him them and he was still great. I suggest “Turn the page” or listen to anything off his Life Bullet Album.
Heard him profiled on another reaction channel a couple of years ago. Grew up listening to him, but never really knew much about him specifically. But he really is quite the storyteller. I think my favorite is 'Like A Rock'......but the official music video that goes along with that song....REALLY is something to see.
For years I only heard the two live versions and they totally lost my hearing of the original. I'm happy to listen to this track, kinda amazing again but it also sounds a little bit artificial. Another dimension is opened live and for me his great voice conveys even more mood and passion.
Live bullet is one the great live albums ever. You have to check it out. Get out of denver has always been a favorite with drew abbots guitar is rock and roll
Sounds better live than studio. Stopped touring in 2019. I went to 26 of those shows on the final tour and his voice and that band were frikin amazing and strong!! Better than they were 20 years before.
Yes he does sound that good live , Iv'e seen him twice and he really knows how to put on a show. He is as good an American rocker as you can get ...We love him here in Canada !!!!
Amazing story teller. Romantic thoughtfulness. Try "Roll Me Away". Of course me being a life long motorcyclist I can relate to a lot of this song. Also when I was your age, 20, I met a girl at a fast food restaurant and we decided to hitch hike to Atlanta Pop Festival. We had a wonderful time. Jimi Hendrix played Star Spangled Banner for us July 4th along with a lot of other head liner groups that weekend. Afterwards, I never saw her again. It was a free and wonderful time.
