Saw Seger when he was still garage band Seger (The Bob Seger System) for $1.25 at Aquinas High School more times than I can count. East Side Story, Heavy Music, 2 + 2, Ramblin Gamblin Man, Persecution Smith, Lucifer, ...Saw Alice Cooper there many times, as well. Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes at Kennedy Ice Rink, Gladys Knight & her Pips when I was on Swingin Time, The MC5 all over town, and The Stooges at The Grande, where I met Iggy. We dated for a short time. Us kids in the Detroit area didn't even know how spoiled rotten we were. Lol
Workin man's music, from the workin man's city, in the workin man's state. Music this good was everywhere in MI back in the 60's. No effects, no auto tune, garage music at its peak. The world will never hear or see this like again.
I bought this record, from the stage, when Seger played at The Fenton Community Center for a kid's dance one night. It was either 25 or 50 cents to get in, there was a horrible snowstorm, and me and my buddy went to this dance anyway - couldn't have been more than 20 kids in the place. He was still doing cover tunes, mostly....think it was 1966.
@@davekeene7557 I was kinda half raised out in Fenton - went to Carman in Flint but my grandparents had a little farm out on Linden Road, my half-sister graduated from Lake Fenton in '61 or '62. Played in bands my whole life and the first little rock band I played with was some guys from Fenton so I was always out there bombin' around. Me and the bass player had to walk home from The Fenton Community one other night (summer) when his mom got busy and said she couldn't get over there - hell, he lived about 7 miles outta town in a farm house...lol. I saw Seger there, and, I saw him at some battle of the bands out at Sherwood Forest. He was the last act to play and I was with my sister who had a crush on him - when they were tearin' down we kinda hung out with the guy and chatted. Who knew the guy was gonna be some big star? Oh - and on a random note the night me and the bass player walked home.....I'm not kidding....I saw two bright lights fly from horizon to horizon going about 1.000 MPH...LOL. Yeah, my first UFO sighting - scared the hell outta me.
I lived on the lower east side of Detroit in the 60's and 70's as it continued to decline. Really rough neighborhood. Not far from the Vanity Ballroom. Bob Seger and other Detroit artists were just started out looking for recognition. Raw Motown. Saw them at the Grande and Vanity. $4 for a table of 4 and a pitcher of beer for a 4 or 5 hours of rock and roll. 16/17 at the time and no one ever carded us or our girlfriends - just happy to have the business. Saw him twice. East Side Story Persecution Smith, Heavy Music, and more. Seger spent time in the summer at his parent's 2nd home near Lexington...only a mile from where my relatives had trailer for the summer. Old stuff is indeed the best.
Thanks to Alice Cooper for pointing me in this direction, this is a great song and performance. It does sound a bit like Them. I will definitely listen to more Bob Seger.
Beneath the bare light bulb above She gazed into the eyes of love Bathed in the dirty neon lights She begged him "don't go out tonight" If we work out somehow maybe We could find a way out baby And he laughed and said "I got to go" And she cried "no" Johnny Johnny no Oh Johnny Johnny no His arms were warm and strong and young "I promise I won't hurt no one" "Oh baby when you gonna learn, Them folks uptown got bread to burn, When they see me flash my knife, They'll be fearin' for their live, They won't give me trouble this I know" And she cried no Oh Johnny Johnny no Johnny Johnny no The night passed like a thousand years The tenemant room had culled her tears Then came a knock upon the door Two men she'd never seen before "Did you know Johnny Brown miss? We hate to tell you this but Has he a relative you know?" And she cried no Oh Johnny Johnny no Oh Johnny why'd you go?
1966, Detoilet....I'd get off the school bus and streak inside the house to watch Bob Seger and The Last Heard play this song CKLW, Channel 9. Grabbed a mop handle and sang along with Bob. Then hadda settle down to tackle two hours of Latin class homework.
@@MrKhmerital oh yes, four years of intensive Latin. It has served me remarkably well through the years....learning Spanish, Italian and now Thai.....ภาษาไทย
I still remember when Bob Seger and band played at my HS, Mott High in Warren, Michigan! Also The Rationals and Mitch Ryder come to mind. The 60s in Detroit was an amazing musical experience that will always be a part of who I am. ❤️🎶
One of the best songs I have ever HEARD. I was around when this was released in 1966. Bob was a star in this, his first record, with the band The Last Heard. For a Life time of efforts, Bob kicked it out Hard with this "HEAVY MUSIC". Thank God for Mr. & Mrs. Stewart Seger. The following excerpt is a great read from W iki, Doug Brown & The Omens As the Town Criers began landing more gigs, Bob Seger met a man named Doug Brown, backed by a band called The Omens. Seger joined Doug Brown & The Omens, who presumably had a bigger following than the Town Criers. While Doug Brown was the primary lead vocalist for the group, Seger would take the lead on some songs-covering R&B numbers.[8] It was with this group that Seger first appeared on an officially released recording: the 1965 single "TGIF" backed with "First Girl", credited to Doug Brown and The Omens. Seger later appeared on Doug Brown and The Omens' parody of Barry Sadler's song "Ballad of the Green Berets" which was re-titled "Ballad of the Yellow Beret" and mocked draft evaders. Soon after its release, Sadler and his record label threatened Brown and his band with a lawsuit, and the recording was withdrawn from the market. While Bob was a member of The Omens, he met his longtime manager Edward "Punch" Andrews, who at the time was partnered with Dave Leone running the Hideout franchise, which consisted of four club locations from Clawson to Rochester Hills, where local acts would play, and a small-scale record label. Seger began writing and producing for other acts that Punch was managing, such as the Mama Cats and the Mushrooms (with Frey). Seger and Doug Brown were then approached by Punch and Leone to write a song for the Underdogs, another local band who recently had a hit with a song called "Man in the Glass". Seger contributed a song called "East Side Story", which ultimately proved to be a failure for the Underdogs. The Last Heard Seger decided to record "East Side Story" himself, and officially left the Omens (though he did retain Doug Brown as a producer). As Bob Seger and the Last Heard, Seger released his version of the song with Hideout Records in January 1966, and it became his first big Detroit hit. The single (backed with "East Side Sound", an instrumental version of "East Side Story") sold 50,000 copies, mostly in the Detroit area, and led to a contract with Cameo-Parkway Records. Though the name "The Last Heard" originally referred to the collection of Omens and Town Criers who recorded "East Side Story" with Seger, it soon became the name of Seger's permanent band, which consisted of former Town Crier Pep Perrine on drums, Carl Lagassa on guitar, and Dan Honaker on bass. Following "East Side Story", the group released four more singles: the James Brown-inspired holiday single "Sock It to Me Santa", the Dylan-esque "Persecution Smith", "Vagrant Winter", and perhaps the most notable, "Heavy Music", released in 1967. "Heavy Music", which sold even more copies than "East Side Story", had the potential to break out nationally when Cameo-Parkway suddenly went out of business. It was a top 100 hit in Canada, where it topped out on the national RPM charts at No. 82; in the US, it just missed the Hot 100, peaking on the "bubbling under" chart at No. 103. The song would stay in Seger's live act for many years to come. The Bob Seger System After Cameo-Parkway folded, Seger and Punch began searching for a new label. In the spring of 1968, Bob Seger & the Last Heard signed with major label Capitol Records, turning down Motown Records, who offered more money than Capitol. Seger felt that Capitol was more appropriate for his genre than Motown.
I think the bass players son has commented on a video or two on this channel. Honacker I think. Yeah he has watched and commented especially the 1970 clips with Watson on Organ. Thanks or the comment.
THE best music came out of Detroit and the Midwest. Swingin' Time was simply dancing and pure fun. Bob Seger was a Michigan staple and legend. You understood the words and it was pure talent. Didn't need computer enhancement. We had the best of times. Cherish the 60s and 70s.
Same instrumental groove and chorus as Van Morrison's 1964 hit with Them, "Gloria" (the Chicago band Shadows of Knight had the midwest Top-10 hit with it).
If i didn’t know any better i would never of guessed this was bob seger. Just getting into him as i explore deeper and deeper into rock. Never really payed any mind to bob seger but being hes a Michigan boy I gotta dive into him. Leaping into Bob Seger and Bob Dylan at the same time could be catastrophic
THEM came first; The original “I Can Only Give You Everything” (recorded in 1965, released Jan. ‘66). The Troggs & MC5 both recorded it ‘66 & released in early ‘67, (hundreds of garage bands covered it c.’66). Bob Seger & The Last Heard recorded East Side Story in Jan ‘66 - the fuzz-tone riff definitely influenced by Them.
@@surfercrow Thanks for the info, what a great era. I remember all the great Detroit music on the radio (CKLW Windsor) back in the mid to late 60's as well as all the Motown, was just a kld but the music stays with you.
@@robertzemko6590 Detroit-what an incredible city for music! To grow up around that, even as a kid-You must be a few years older than I, (born in ‘65 near Chicago)-In some ways I wish I had been able to experience that era first hand; A lot of the Top 40 pop music of my youth was pretty awful (‘74-75 had some real junk), so I had to go back dig the past & I’m still learning new groups & songs from c.’55-70 out of Michigan: Motown, MC5, Stooges but even lesser known stuff like Fortune Records (Doo Wop/Soul) to garage groups like the Pleasure Seekers’ “What A Way To Die” (‘65)
@@surfercrow I was born in 61 but have a good memory for those days particularly listening to the soul/Motown influenced CKLW from Windsor when visiting my relatives. That music was so much better than the top 40 in my area (Hamilton) Ontario. I remember as a kid being in Windsor and hearing the new Bob Seger song Ramblin Gamblin Man in early 69. Check out Funkadelic as well.
@@robertzemko6590 I appreciate all your comments. The history we both lived. I was born the same year. I grew up in Cleveland and I listened to CKLW myself. I had been given an Transistor Radio for Christmas in 1965. It was our first Christmas in our Big Brand New house. Oh the memories. We did Rock to the Best of the BEST in our Lifetimes. PS Why do I recognize your name?
I was thinking it was more like Gloria by Them, but that's pretty close to the Animals....the part where he sings "Johnny, Johnny, no..." sounds like the prechorus to It's My Life, though, so you're on to something there...
@wallosund Hey, didn't say there was anything wrong with trying to sound like another artists, being inspired by other artists...there'd be nearly no new artists if that were the case...for what has been, is what will be (probably Ch. 3 of Ecclesiastes Holy Bible). I love this version, I love Van Morrison's also. Yeah, of course a lot of 60's bands sounded quite similiar, a lot of 2000/2010 bands sound quite similiar as well, it's called "style" or "fads", dig??
no mikes ...everything was lip synched back then.....Bob, however....sounded GREAT live ....I saw him do this song in 1968 or so....Notre Dame High School dance...WOW !!...I don't think this song ever left Michigan...just like Bob...forever a Michigan boy...
Bob was my first concert--14 years old, Pine Knob, on the hill. My parents had divorced two years earlier, and he had intended to take a date, but my pleading wore him out. Saw him again, both times and of course it is well known, great live--one of the few who are.
Nun Ya Pine Knob on the hill was always a great place to be! Saw over 70 shows there the summer I graduated from Brandon.... no comment how we got in so many times :)

Many a show myself, though not approaching your lucky total--Party on the hill--marshmallow fights and all.
Nun Ya I never got to go to the "hill". At least some kids did :) I envy you seeing Bob at the knob ;)
Bob at the Knob...that's very Michigan, too. The whole H.S. dance experience in '68 surpasses, WambliPeta.
PEACE.

were's the microphone?
Who's in the band?
Look at this kid. Has he started shaving yet?
He Never Shaved, lol
I forgive Bob for ripping off "Gloria" since he a) admitted his influence, and b) wrote so many better songs than "Gloria" afterward.
Don Gilbert Half the songs in rock are a rip off of Gloria
Steve Jonesin' [E AD] that's all it is
+Don Gilbert Way better song than Gloria.
Exactly my thoughts when I heard it, but goddam good!!
This song sounds just like 'Gloria' by THEM (Van Morrison) - ruclips.net/video/AhYTb5J2rNc/видео.html
