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."
"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!

@@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!
This song comes on at the ending climax of this great movie. Hard not to tear up when Cher puts the tacks in the board and says " now you can go anywhere baby"
Bob is one of America’s greatest singers and a national treasure. So glad you guys reacted to this song. There are a lot of great Seger songs to choose from. Thanks for your great reactions. 👏👏🇨🇦
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. ✌️✌️
I just made a post saying the same thing. SUCH a good movie! Not only does it have my favorite Bob Segar song, it also has my favorite Grateful Dead song, Ripple.
I once heard a radio DJ describe this type of Bob Seger song as 'Majestic". In all the years since I've still not heard a better description. Roll on Bob.
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!
@@madmanonwheels5150 I was involved in a head-on collision with a drug addict in a mini van. After a long recovery, and how the roads where I live have gotten too dangerous, I had to stop.
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.
I’m 67 been listening to Bob since I was 13 I should say seeing him life since I was 14 seen live Bullet the whole thing see I’m live in Mi seen before he made it amazing
My uncle did that famous “Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band” logo. He’s a noteworthy artist who’s also done logos for Super Bowls, movies, sports teams, award shows, and other musicians.
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!
‘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.
I KNEW you'd love this song. Great choice. Next SEGER classic to check out: "Travelin Man/Beautiful Loser" from the LIVE BULLET. This live medley has been a rock radio staple for over 45 years. Trust me on this one and go with it. Enjoy!
In Bob Seger and the Silver bullet band...you found the sweet spot of the North American 70s and 80s life. He is the default center of music from that time.
I am 62 n this song just makes me wanna ride on the back roads of south Dakota n cruise n just be free in the wind n enjoy the country side waving to n meeting people n just enjoying life because if u don't it will roll away from u so don't let it thx bob u r the greatest n thx for the music
My friend bought a beat up, hollowed out van, we packed it up and headed to Colorado, from Indiana, and the only music we had was Bob's Live Bullet. Now THAT was a true road trip! What a blast!
I'm sorry but I need to say what's on my mind. I've been listening to Bob Seger since the 70's. Everytime I hear him and the band, I always get emotional. His songs and his output always makes me crank the volume up. He is.the most gifted songwriter I have ever heard. The Silver Bullet Band rules to no end. I Ron Dryden salute Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. ❤❤
@@rondryden4534 I Seen Bob Seger for the first time in 1980 it was the Against The Wind Tour and He Was Awesome. He played The Piano on several Songs and They sounded as good as The Studio version if not Better. Have a Wonderful Blessed Day 😇🙏😇
I feel sorry for anyone who never had the privilege of seeing Segar and the Silver Bullet Band live. I went with my mom back in the mid-90s, then again on his retirement tour with my daughter. Thirty-plus years in between live performances and both were powerful and awe-inspiring.
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!
It's really unfortunate that there is so little footage of Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band on stage. They were a superb live act. Catch them doing 'Get Out Of Denver' live. Smoking!
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.
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.
I dare you to tell me that there's anyone else you would rather listen to than Bob Seger at any given moment. He transforms you to wherever it is that hes going depending on which song of his hes singing. He is superb.
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 grew up on Bob Seger. He is such a great story teller. Great raspy rock-n-roll voice and the Silver Bullet Band are amazing musicians in their own right.
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band are one of the greatest groups out there. The musicality, the storytelling, his raspy vocals, simply perfection. Sending love from sunny So. Cal!
The best part about being 70 & from Michigan is that I got to watch Bob before he was famous, at smaller, local venues around the state. Nice guy too. I love the unique voice; I love how he uses pianos & saxophones etc. in his rock band. Bob is one of a kind & still performs once in a blue moon for special things. He is 76 now & performed this October at the induction of Patty Loveless into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Sounds the same.
Love Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band!!! I think this is your 12th or 13th visit to his catalog! Can’t go wrong with his songs; my absolute favorite is “Turn the Page”, which you’ve already done (thank you!). Explore his cover of Chuck Berry’s “C’est La Vie” next.
I’ve literally traveled across the entire United States on my Harley - from Florida to the Rocky Mountain states and back - with nothing but Bob Seger and The Eagles on a non-stop loop. Greatest riding music ever.
Love, love love this Bob Seger tune. Seger with his blues and rockin' vibe and John Mellencamp with his folksy rock are two of the best Midwestern story tellers of all time. More of both please...
For sure one of the greatest concerts was Bob and The Silver Bullet Band back in the early 80's and I remember it like it was yesterday.... thank you for all the amazing music ✌️🙂
