Took my daughter to a Seger concert here in Denver over a decade ago. Here’s this little 7 year old singing every song except the opener (which was a new cover). The other fans in the nosebleeds of the Pepsi Center asked how could she possibly know all the songs?! I’m from Detroit and Segers Greatest Hits 1 and 2 are permanently in my truck. She’s been listening literally her entire life. Great memories!
I've seen every major act live since 73 including Zeppelin and Bob Marley and Bob Seger remains in my top 5 shows. Been to 6 of his concerts. Love fest. Terrific!!!
My daughter 45 and her son know Seger well. He's been in all my vehicles, house and all mp3 players. I think I have everything he recorded.even the old 45s😊
I’m wearing my Bob Seger shirt today and then this pops up on my RUclips. Bob Seger is my all time favorite. I started listening to him when I was a year old and his album was one of my first records that was my very own. I cannot put into words what his music means to me. I was abused as a young child and was fortunate enough to have my grandparents step in and adopt me. But until that happened, it was a couple years of abuse and going back and forth between my mom and grandparents. Bob Seger’s music is what got me through it. No matter what was happening to me, his voice was always singing to me. It still sings to me now that I’m 48. He’ll always have a special place in my heart.
My father was a huge fan, I knew entire albums by heart by the time I was 10. His music always takes me back. [Edit: My dad also had a bit of a drinking problem, I wasn't physically abused but sometimes his pain/demons were a bit scary to me as a child.]
I am 58 years old and have seen Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band close to 20 times. I play his music in good times for celebration and in bad times to regroup. His music is in my soul and the live version of Old Time Rock n Roll will be played as the last song at my funeral!!!
I wonder how the sequence of events breaks down with Heartache Tonight, where Bob did take a writing credit after he spit out the chorus to that song over the phone when Glenn or one of the other writers called Bob looking for help.
I’m from Muscle Shoals and got to meet him at a greasy spoon all night diner. He was very much the gentleman and friendly as they come. Thanks for mentioning Muscle Shoals We are proud of everything that came out of our little town. ❤
@@phyllissockwell9481 we called them. " cat head biscuits " when I was a teenager going there. I don't know if everyone did, but it was popular among our little group lol. A friends step mom worked there. She would tell us who was in town a lot of times just to tell us who we missed lol. Those were great times..
Sixth grade through high school was exactly when my husband and I decided was the best time to have a parent at home as well. Every school community needs a network of parents that are around
Hey Adam. You are not just entertaining us… not just educating us… you are also a modern music historian ….adding to music lover’s experiences, for ages to come💕🙋🏻♀️🌞
....I stated it MANY a time; I thought I was 'too cool for School' to be "Educated", because I knew it ALL ......and Prof. 'educates' me, daily...like, DAILY! ...He, is the CHOSEN ONE.....
Bob is doing just fine! He made millions for Like A Rock when Chevy used it in a commercial. He bought his 50 foot sailboat from some of the royalties he got.
Bob with the last herd played at my high school dances in 1970 when he had 2 songs making the radio - Heavy Music and Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man. Also Ted Nugent with the Amboy Dukes whose hit was Journey to the Center of the Mind. Others were Frigid Pink and Teagarden and Vanwinkle.
I wrote a satirical article for a now-defunct humor site where Bob is complaining that Chevrolet is late with his check and he's broke, no one will answer his calls and he only has cash because Suzi Quatro dropped off a few garbage bags full of empty Bacardi bottles for him to take to the recycling center. All in good fun, of course.
@@mrbniedererI went to school with Sanger and guitarist of the pink. Saw all Detroit music. MC5 Stooges, Up, Frut, Rationals,, Mitchell Ryder and many more. Detroit/ Ann Arbor was music crazy. Saw Lennon, Yoko, Clapton, Chambers Bros, Allman Bros. , Moody Blues, Elvis here in Ann Arbor.
@@Mosely2007 cool! I saw the Stooges in Ann Arbor also Bonnie Raitt with Sippie Wallace at Hill Auditorium. My first time seeing Bonnie was at the Jazz and Blues festival in the Arb. Sounds like we have had similar musical lives as teenagers and now as adults. Also the Frost with Dick Wagner at the LYI events at the Livonia hockey rink during the summer.
@@mrbniederer Bob's collaboration with Teagarden & Van Winkle - The "Smokin' OP's" allbum - is criminally underrated. Such a great album, but few people know of it (outside real fans).
This is legend in my hometown of Sheffield AL (muscle shoals area). Jimmy Johnson told me this story personally. He said the kid laid down the track as his momma sat in the car outside, then packed up and left.
The funny thing is he sang "today's music ain't got the same soul" in 1979 when groups like Van Halen and the Cars released their second albums, the Clash released London Calling, U2, the Pretenders, Joe Jackson and Dire Straits had just came out. Tom Petty and Springsteen were on fire. One of the greatest eras of music. The words make much more sense today than they did then.
Remember, with all the music you named was vastly different than the 10-20 years previous years, so those older would have felt the same as you do about today’s music.
@@odb_roc_hound4186 Yep. Being in my 40s, I can now understand where my parents were coming from, calling my grunge and metal, "trash" and "noise". I feet that way about most modern music now. Rather than thinking it trash or noise however, I feel modern music is "soulless" and "empty".
I guess it depends on who you ask I think about how our parents thought we were listening to garbage and now we think kids today are listening to garbage. It’s funny.😂
@@odb_roc_hound4186 yes but not quite the same, looking back music was still organic and ground breaking in '79, even a lot of disco had great musicianship and feel. It was made by people in the same room feeding off each others energy. It still had soul. From the 40's to the 90's it was about capturing a performance. Subtle mistakes weren't corrected in favor of using an exciting take. Today pop music is created on a grid on a computer, like it's a spreadsheet. The vocal pitch is corrected. Timing mistakes are moved exactly on the beat. The drums are sampled. The 1st verse is just copied to the 2nd verse. Nuance is lost as is the feeling that comes from deep within the soul. There is no grease, no dirt, no nasty... just homogenized perfection.
Well, at the time we rock and rollers were fighting the dreaded tag team of Disco and New Wave, which were vastly different from what we listened to and enjoyed. It made plenty of sense to us back then too.
My mom (who was born in 1920) called any joyful frenetic dancing, "cutting a Dido". In my 20's I found an interesting old book from 1930s that was a list of sayings, their meanings, and etymology. It explained where "cutting a Dido" came from, apparently there was a tribe in Africa (I think?) that were known for their very energetic style of dancing, and they were the Didos! I'm gonna have to Google that now, I haven't thought about that phrase in years.☺
Bob Seger was someone back in the day that I thought was ok. Didn't mind his songs when on the radio at all. However, in the last decade, I've GREATLY appreciated how good he and his band were. I went to Muscle Shoals studios a few years ago and I never realized how much he recorded there. I regret not seeing him back in the 80s when I had several chances to.
There are so many artists that I grew into. When I was younger, I wasn't musically mature enough to appreciate assists like Bob Seger, Gordon Lightfoot, and even Jackson Brown; to name just a few. Sure, I may have sang along when they came on the radio, but I really didn't fully appreciate them until I was older.
I'm 62 and there are so many songs from back in the 70's when I was in high school that I didn't appreciate until I was much older. They aged like fine wine.
I just got back from my morning walk where Bob was my choice of music. Every song brought back a memory and reinforced my admiration of the man and his music. Legend❤
Met him at a marina where he kept a couple boats .. I knew who he was said nice to meet you and talked about boats and boat related stuff ... I treated him as a normal guy & he acted like a normal guy .. trust me I wanted a picture and a autograph.. but everyone wants that and so I didn't .. mixed feelings 25 yrs later about that decision.. but glad i was able to meet him never the less because yrs later he started touring again and got to enjoy his concert as a fan
Funny you say that... Because those two songs were so grossly overplayed, my wife and I refused to have them in the queue at our wedding reception... Nothing wrong with either song-- we were just exhausted by "overplay fatigue"
Thank goodness for radio stations that let the DJ's program their music back in the 70's. I remember hearing this on the radio and had to buy the album. This song literally blew up back then. I think it was so popular because we were tired of disco.
What a great fun tune; love that Old Time Rock And Roll. Such a shame for Bob that he & the band got no royalties from that Risky Business scene. Another great show Professor. Thanks!
While he didn’t earn royalties on this song, I suspect he attracted many fans that otherwise wouldn’t have explored his music. In an end around way, I’m sure he profited from the song.
Bob Seger is an American Icon. I got tickets that someone didn’t pick up from work, and I got to see him back in 2011. I can’t explain what it was like hearing THE sax on Turn The Page live and in person. Still The Same is my all time favorite Bob Seger song!
I like that Bob Seger was happy to act as a mentor to up and coming musicians. Perhaps the most famous example, Glenn Frey of Eagles fame, who always took the time to thank Bob in later years whenever he had the chance.
One of my favourite Seger songs. Everyone talks about it in Risky Business but my memory was in ALF when he was left alone and was grooving to it then caused havoc in the apartment
Best 50th birthday present I ever gave was to take my friend (since grade school days) out for dinner then to see Bob seger in concert. He had the best time! His face lit up when our car pulled in front of the concert hall, he had no idea why we were there. Get out ! we yelled at him, we're going to watch Bob play!" Fun times , good times .
Started listening to Seger with my transitor radeo tied to the handlebars of my bike since 2+2 came out. Good old CKLW radio station There was a song before that but i can't remember the tittle. Left Michigan and I moved to Alabama in 1972. Took all my 45s and albums with me. Few years later a bunch of friends were at my house and someone mentioned this new singer that they loved. When they said Bob Seger and the Bullet Band. I just got up and pulled out all my records and said take your pick. Needless to say no one slept that night and im glad i was living on 60 acres so nobody to call the cops. Never did get to see him in concert though and i regret that to this day. Thank you Bob for all the amazing music you shared with the world.
@pixiegirl33 I wish I could remember the song that came out before 2+2. It's driving me nuts. Oh well old age is catching up with me. It was one of the first 45's that I bought. Cost 50 cent from Korvettes. Looking back it wasn't that big of a store, but we could spend hours in the record department. It was several years until the Southland mall was built. Thought that was heaven to have a whole store within the mail that all kinds of music.
I still have my CKLW two album "gold" set with the Big-8 jocks. Went to hear Bob at the band shell at Belle Isle. He did have the song Rosalie, which either came out the year you moved to Alabama or the following year.
I visited the muscle Shoals studio a couple of time within the last few years . That actual piano that Bob played that intro on , is still there. You can sit at it if you want. I highly recommend going to the studio and taking a tour. So COOL
"Main Street" is the most haunting song ever that brings me back to memories of my youth. How is that song not the best Bob Seger song ever? The melody and lyrical imagery are unmatched.
Main Street is about Main Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Ann Arbor is where Bob Seger graduated Pioneer High School in 1963 and matured as a young man. The woman sung about is a bit somewhat older escort / stripper / courtesan(?) that Bob Seger fancied and perhaps pursued. Anyway, that's the skinny that I learned while attending UM 1974-1978 from fellow students of Pioneer High School. 😉
@@jazzandbluesculturalherita2547 My mom attended Ann Arbor High School (yes, later Pioneer) with Bob Seger, and she always loved that "Main Street" was about Ann Abor. She also used to laugh when she heard "Night Moves", claiming that Bob was a bit of a loner and wasn't making moves with the ladies. I always said "How could you know? You didn't hang with his crowd." but it was fun to hear her talk about him. That, and other fun things about the school, like how it was so overcrowded at the time that they actually allowed students to cross the roof and re-enter on the other side so they could make it to their next class before the bell!
I am always grateful when you highlight anything with Bob Seger. I'm surprised you haven't interviewed him. I listened to Bob Kevoian interview him many years ago, he seems to be one of the nicest guys in the business.
My wife and I used to dance to “Old Time Rock and Roll “ back when we were first married. I’m still a huge Seger fan. My favourite song is “Turn the Page “.
One of my online acquaintances since the early 2000s is former Chicago and Silver Bullet guitarist Dawayne Bailey. Dawayne (or DB), one of the most underrated (and over-scrutinized) musicians of the last 44 years, reminisced about being in the Silver Bullet Band in the early 80s. "Old Time Rock and Roll" was one song he detested performing. Outside the Chicago fanbase, most people are unaware of DB's existence. The only commercially-issued Bob Seger track he's on is "Like a Rock", on which DB provided the acoustic guitar.
My mother lived for Bob! She went to several of his concerts. We listened to Bob in our house from the start. I came of age with his songs and when my mother would overnight host my own children (all her grandchildren actually as well!) they would fall asleep listening to Bob. They all know his songs by heart and still listen to him too and they were all born in the later 80’s and early 90’s! Now they play them for their children. They too will know Bob’s songs. I’m the same age as Tom Cruise and I’ve watched his career over the years as well but Risky Business came along just as I was in college myself and it was a great 80’s iconic movie. And yes, Rebecca was gorgeous! Every young man’s fantasy for sure! Thanks again for sharing. You are a truly gifted story teller my friend.
My best friend died in October, after 40 years of friendship. He DESPISED this song, so when I created a playlist to commemorate him, it had to be on the list! It makes me smile in posthumous prank joy every time I hear it! I've just shared this video on his Facebook page... LOL!
Wow, I thought I was the only person that despised this song! Love Bob Seger, but can't stand this song. Maybe it's just the overexposure, I don't know
@@billrich2915 For him, it was exactly that, specifically at wedding dances, with a dance floor that would instantly fill with shoeless middle-aged women!
My friend Forrest McDonald played the solo on the studio version. Professor, you should look him up because he has all sorts of stories to tell. I can get you in touch with him if you would like.
The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section core 4 known as "The Swampers" were Barry Beckett(keys), Roger Hawkins(drums), David Hood(bass,trombone) and Jimmy Johnson(guitar) The Swampers recorded, produced, or engineered classic hits by Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Percy Sledge, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Leon Russell, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rod Stewart, Bob Seger and The Staple Singers. Todays song is Iconic for sure.
If you want to see a documentary you will never forget, and will probably watch multiple times, watch ‘Muscle Shoals”….its on YT, it’s beautiful…definitely the best doc I’ve ever seen, but it may also be the best MOTION PICTURE I’ve ever seen too. Just the story of Rick Hall is amazing. RIP to Rick and all the other guys who’ve left us.
@@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980 Most def funky and somewhat groovy - happening for sure. The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin called the session musicians unexpectedly and impressively _"greasy"_ in the above-mentioned must-see documentary.
Thanks for featuring the band, they first blew me away when I saw them live on the 82 World Vengeance tour with Iron Maiden. It was amazing time in music, that I will never forget.
This song is great but brings back bad memories. Last date was to see this movie. Still listen to the song. Just have to fight back the memory. True testimony to how strong a song can be attached to our memories good or bad.
@Aaron-us2ux Just my last date with someone. Turned out not to be what they portrayed themselves to be. Sadly, wouldn't be the last time that happened. Silly me for expecting honesty.
Enjoyed seeing him back in '83 down on the Ms. coast. We had an extra ticket and I still remember the shock on the guys face when we only sold it for what we paid for it. Great show.
My friends went to see Bob Segar. They came by to surprise me and take me to the concert. I was in bed with the flu and had a raging fever. I barely remembered them coming by.
Bob Seger is one of favorites. Old Time Rock n Roll was my mom's favorite song especially when it came on the radio while she was driving! And it took me a second to figure out which song the Professor was talking about until he said it was in a movie then I figured out the song before the Professor said which one! I love that scene in Risky Business.
Double piano intro a smart accident! ONE BAD APPLE 🍏 Takes me way back! GO AWAY LITTLE GIRL,,, PUPPY LOVE 💓! NIGHT MOVES will always be my favorite Bob song!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
I can only envy those who got to see Bob Seger live in concert. Have to make do with the albums “Live Bullet” and “Live Tonight”. I didn’t know that the guitar solo on “Old Time Rock And Roll” was played by a teenager. This was a terrific song, and Bob Seger had to have been kicking himself in the ass. George Jackson got a boatload of royalty money, though. Thanks for the info, Professor.
Old Detroiter here…….I remember Bob with the Last Herd back in ‘65-‘66 playing East side Detroit bars and dances. Walled Lake Casino w/ Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels………Detroit was magical then
I have been a fan of your page for a few years. And I am so excited to hear an episode about my beloved Muscle Shoals! I live about 40 miles from Muscle Shoals & am very , very proud of their place in music history. If anyone wants to make a musical road trip, venture down south where some of the greatest music of all time was recorded. Get a taste of that OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL.
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do) Lord, they get me off so much They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue, now, how 'bout you?
Bob is a rock & roll champion. I am so glad I got to see his last tour and everyone got up on their feet when "Old Time Rock & Roll" played - a very very happy moment. :)
I saw Bob Seger when he opened for Kiss back in 1976. His hair was very long then AND he was not against cover songs as he sang Nutbush City Limits in that set. As to your poll question, Turn The Page is definitely up there.
Love Bob, happy to have seen him countless times here in Michigan. I live near him on the lake. We always want him to come out and hang out with us on the lake, but he's a recluse kind of guy. We love his music so much. What a hometown Gem we have here!!
Okay, you don't take a writing credit, but George Jackson gets a lifetime of residuals. That is honesty and nobility. Bob made enough money, believe me.
This is such a classic song, it's perfect for dancing around the house in your socks and shirt, just before a wacky night commences! Even better, Tom Cruise improvised the entire scene by himself.
Lyric from a Bob Seger song: ""C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell" Bob Seger is a true treasure to music. I'm pretty sure rambling man was done in mono, at least that's the way it sounds. I looked all over for a rework of that one, never found it. Lesson to all... ALWAYS TAKE CREDIT.
@@ceciliajones7816 Chuck Berry is the true king, but I have a strong liking for the Bob Seger version. Maybe because I grew up in that era. I also love some covers better than originals... But Chuck is the king.
Professor you really need to do at least a video about the music in Risky Business and one about Tangerine Dream. Old Time Rock an Roll brought a lot of attention to the movie and to Bob Seger. I love the scene using it in Risky Business as it represented being a teenager home alone. It really fit just "rocking out". I had heard Bob Seger on the local radio but with how many times I've watched Risky Business it's one of the songs I really associate with Bob Seger. I have a number of his releases but it's this song that is "his song". Thanks for bringing some attention to Risky Business. It's my favorite movie ang brought me my favorite band, Tangerine Dream. They both need more attention. Thanks, great video Professor.

The Seger Songwriting Lesson: Never, never ever, ever refuse a writing credit no matter how small.
...he learned THAT, with "Shakedown"! ...ha- HAAA!
No kidding.
I wonder how the sequence of events breaks down with Heartache Tonight, where Bob did take a writing credit after he spit out the chorus to that song over the phone when Glenn or one of the other writers called Bob looking for help.
You'd think he'd have learned that lesson by looking at Leadbelly's life.
I could definitely learn from that.

Not a “network”. Two parents- one male, one female. It does not take a village to raise a child but a village sure can screw a child up.
He wasn't writing the quality songs he was used to writing - and he was burnt out - so he took a break

Timing mistakes are moved exactly on the beat. The drums are sampled. The 1st verse is just copied to the 2nd verse. Nuance is lost as is the feeling that comes from deep within the soul. There is no grease, no dirt, no nasty... just homogenized perfection.
Well, at the time we rock and rollers were fighting the dreaded tag team of Disco and New Wave, which were vastly different from what we listened to and enjoyed. It made plenty of sense to us back then too.
Bob is the Man !!! My Dad loved cutting a rug to Old time Rock n' Roll. ❤️ ❤
I usually use scissors when I cut a rug
Had to look that one up.
...did he do it in his tighty whiteys!?? ...ha-HAA!! ...jus'kiddin..................
As a teenager when this came out still my top10 memories
My mom (who was born in 1920) called any joyful frenetic dancing, "cutting a Dido".
In my 20's I found an interesting old book from 1930s that was a list of sayings, their meanings, and etymology. It explained where "cutting a Dido" came from, apparently there was a tribe in Africa (I think?) that were known for their very energetic style of dancing, and they were the Didos!
I'm gonna have to Google that now, I haven't thought about that phrase in years.☺
Bob Seger was someone back in the day that I thought was ok. Didn't mind his songs when on the radio at all. However, in the last decade, I've GREATLY appreciated how good he and his band were. I went to Muscle Shoals studios a few years ago and I never realized how much he recorded there. I regret not seeing him back in the 80s when I had several chances to.
Thanks for sharing.
There are so many artists that I grew into. When I was younger, I wasn't musically mature enough to appreciate assists like Bob Seger, Gordon Lightfoot, and even Jackson Brown; to name just a few. Sure, I may have sang along when they came on the radio, but I really didn't fully appreciate them until I was older.
I'm 62 and there are so many songs from back in the 70's when I was in high school that I didn't appreciate until I was much older. They aged like fine wine.
I just got back from my morning walk where Bob was my choice of music. Every song brought back a memory and reinforced my admiration of the man and his music. Legend❤
I'd like to meet Bob Seger one time to just say, "Thank you!".
Same here
Met him at a marina where he kept a couple boats .. I knew who he was said nice to meet you and talked about boats and boat related stuff ... I treated him as a normal guy & he acted like a normal guy .. trust me I wanted a picture and a autograph.. but everyone wants that and so I didn't .. mixed feelings 25 yrs later about that decision.. but glad i was able to meet him never the less because yrs later he started touring again and got to enjoy his concert as a fan
Who knew the artist was as soon as he said, "Take those old records off the shelf"?
Duh.
Everybody.
If they don't play "Old Time Rock n' Roll" and "Celebration" at a wedding, were you even at a wedding?
Ha! Good one.
Funny you say that... Because those two songs were so grossly overplayed, my wife and I refused to have them in the queue at our wedding reception... Nothing wrong with either song-- we were just exhausted by "overplay fatigue"
I hated celebration
My DJ friend showed me a funny note the Bride handed him before the reception....."NO OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL" it was so played out by then
@@flavellinator ha ha! see my comment
Old Time Rock ‘n Roll was my parents song. I imagine them both in Heaven dancing to the song all the time…when they’re not catching Jimmy Buffett.
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere.
Thank goodness for radio stations that let the DJ's program their music back in the 70's.
I remember hearing this on the radio and had to buy the album. This song literally blew up back then. I think it was so popular because we were tired of disco.
Absolutely. We'll never get that again with all the heavily controlled/automated systems.
Bob Segar Live was incredible. Saw him at The Palace of Auburn Hills with Joe Walsh opening for him. Awesome.
😮😊 ME too! From Michigan seen him at Pine knob too
What a great fun tune; love that Old Time Rock And Roll. Such a shame for Bob that he & the band got no royalties from that Risky Business scene. Another great show Professor. Thanks!
While he didn’t earn royalties on this song, I suspect he attracted many fans that otherwise wouldn’t have explored his music. In an end around way, I’m sure he profited from the song.
He earned royalties, just not songwriting royalties.
I hope that is the case.
The lyrics in this song are true today:
"Today's music ain't got the soul
I like the old time Rock and Roll."
....wanna talk "Soul"!?? ....listen to *SEGER* on, "Like A Rock"....ouch, just....OUCH....
"... today's music ain't got the same soul...)
@@CaptainCraigKWMRZ ....what "Soul"!? ....Ya mean those 'spottified' tunes with the same rikky-tikky BEATS!? ...ha-HAA!
It was so far ahead of it's time and yes so true today. Everytime I hear it i I think of that and what makes its a great classic rock song.
They ring even more true today than they did back then. Even disco is better than this hip hop schlock.
I first started listening to Bob Segar in 1977. And have been a fan of him ever since. Great music and great memories.
Bob Seger is an American Icon. I got tickets that someone didn’t pick up from work, and I got to see him back in 2011. I can’t explain what it was like hearing THE sax on Turn The Page live and in person. Still The Same is my all time favorite Bob Seger song!
I like that Bob Seger was happy to act as a mentor to up and coming musicians. Perhaps the most famous example, Glenn Frey of Eagles fame, who always took the time to thank Bob in later years whenever he had the chance.
Don Henley wrote "Till It Shines" on the Stranger In Town album.
Frey was a back up singer on "Ramblin Gamblin Man"
One of my favourite Seger songs. Everyone talks about it in Risky Business but my memory was in ALF when he was left alone and was grooving to it then caused havoc in the apartment
Yep, a childhood tv watching memory of mine as well
Same here
I love Bob & the Silver Bullet Band !! He’s Legendary!
I agree!
We grew up and became those guys! Appreciate you brother!!!! Saw Seger on the night moves tour at 13. Made me a bass player for life
Best 50th birthday present I ever gave was to take my friend (since grade school days) out for dinner then to see Bob seger in concert.
He had the best time! His face lit up when our car pulled in front of the concert hall, he had no idea why we were there.
Get out ! we yelled at him, we're going to watch Bob play!"
Fun times , good times .
Started listening to Seger with my transitor radeo tied to the handlebars of my bike since 2+2 came out. Good old CKLW radio station
There was a song before that but i can't remember the tittle. Left Michigan and I moved to Alabama in 1972. Took all my 45s and albums with me. Few years later a bunch of friends were at my house and someone mentioned this new singer that they loved. When they said Bob Seger and the Bullet Band. I just got up and pulled out all my records and said take your pick. Needless to say no one slept that night and im glad i was living on 60 acres so nobody to call the cops. Never did get to see him in concert though and i regret that to this day. Thank you Bob for all the amazing music you shared with the world.
I listened to CKLW as a kid too as my first "very own" radio was an AM transistor. I can still hear their bumper, C K L W...The motor city.
@pixiegirl33 I wish I could remember the song that came out before 2+2. It's driving me nuts. Oh well old age is catching up with me. It was one of the first 45's that I bought. Cost 50 cent from Korvettes. Looking back it wasn't that big of a store, but we could spend hours in the record department. It was several years until the Southland mall was built. Thought that was heaven to have a whole store within the mail that all kinds of music.
I still have my CKLW two album "gold" set with the Big-8 jocks. Went to hear Bob at the band shell at Belle Isle. He did have the song Rosalie, which either came out the year you moved to Alabama or the following year.
@@pixiegirl33 CKLW and the Big-8 jocks.
@@Debra-wx7jt There was also a Korvettes at 12 mile and Gratiot...I'm sure I bought a few albums there as well.
Bob Seger is fantastic. Gave me songs to listen to when disco came on.
I visited the muscle Shoals studio a couple of time within the last few years . That actual piano that Bob played that intro on , is still there. You can sit at it if you want. I highly recommend going to the studio and taking a tour. So COOL
"Main Street" is the most haunting song ever that brings me back to memories of my youth. How is that song not the best Bob Seger song ever? The melody and lyrical imagery are unmatched.
Main Street is about Main Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Ann Arbor is where Bob Seger graduated Pioneer High School in 1963 and matured as a young man. The woman sung about is a bit somewhat older escort / stripper / courtesan(?) that Bob Seger fancied and perhaps pursued. Anyway, that's the skinny that I learned while attending UM 1974-1978 from fellow students of Pioneer High School. 😉
@@jazzandbluesculturalherita2547 My mom attended Ann Arbor High School (yes, later Pioneer) with Bob Seger, and she always loved that "Main Street" was about Ann Abor. She also used to laugh when she heard "Night Moves", claiming that Bob was a bit of a loner and wasn't making moves with the ladies. I always said "How could you know? You didn't hang with his crowd." but it was fun to hear her talk about him. That, and other fun things about the school, like how it was so overcrowded at the time that they actually allowed students to cross the roof and re-enter on the other side so they could make it to their next class before the bell!
I am always grateful when you highlight anything with Bob Seger. I'm surprised you haven't interviewed him. I listened to Bob Kevoian interview him many years ago, he seems to be one of the nicest guys in the business.
Caught a Bob Seger concert in 74 or maybe 75, was the best concert EVER and been to many concerts spanning 40 yrs.
Great song! Bob Seger is a national treasure.
The Eagles and Bob Seger are the bands that I enjoy listening the most.
The Dude did not approve this message.
Glenn Frey, before The Eagles, sang backing vocals on Bob's "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man".
My wife and I used to dance to “Old Time Rock and Roll “ back when we were first married. I’m still a huge Seger fan. My favourite song is “Turn the Page “.
Mine too. So poignant
One of my online acquaintances since the early 2000s is former Chicago and Silver Bullet guitarist Dawayne Bailey. Dawayne (or DB), one of the most underrated (and over-scrutinized) musicians of the last 44 years, reminisced about being in the Silver Bullet Band in the early 80s. "Old Time Rock and Roll" was one song he detested performing.
Outside the Chicago fanbase, most people are unaware of DB's existence. The only commercially-issued Bob Seger track he's on is "Like a Rock", on which DB provided the acoustic guitar.
Serious? So cool!
Is he a nice guy?
He's cordial, @@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980.
Bob Seger and the Last Heard ..."Heavy Music"... Every Rocker from Detroit knows this is his best!
Fortunate enough to see Bob Seger 3 times. Greatness.
I think it was 4 times. He was always awesome to me..
My mother lived for Bob! She went to several of his concerts. We listened to Bob in our house from the start. I came of age with his songs and when my mother would overnight host my own children (all her grandchildren actually as well!) they would fall asleep listening to Bob. They all know his songs by heart and still listen to him too and they were all born in the later 80’s and early 90’s! Now they play them for their children. They too will know Bob’s songs. I’m the same age as Tom Cruise and I’ve watched his career over the years as well but Risky Business came along just as I was in college myself and it was a great 80’s iconic movie. And yes, Rebecca was gorgeous! Every young man’s fantasy for sure! Thanks again for sharing. You are a truly gifted story teller my friend.
My best friend died in October, after 40 years of friendship. He DESPISED this song, so when I created a playlist to commemorate him, it had to be on the list!
It makes me smile in posthumous prank joy every time I hear it! I've just shared this video on his Facebook page... LOL!
Wow, I thought I was the only person that despised this song! Love Bob Seger, but can't stand this song. Maybe it's just the overexposure, I don't know
@@billrich2915 For him, it was exactly that, specifically at wedding dances, with a dance floor that would instantly fill with shoeless middle-aged women!
Thank you so much Professor ! Bob Seger has been an all time favorite pretty much since the beginning and hasn't changed yet !!
My friend Forrest McDonald played the solo on the studio version. Professor, you should look him up because he has all sorts of stories to tell. I can get you in touch with him if you would like.
Please do! my email is theprofessor@professorofrock.com
@@ProfessorofRockjust sent an email to you
Casey would be proud Professor!! Great story! “You’ll Accomp’ny Me” is still my favorite!!🤘🔥
Great song Brent! Happy monday!
Absolutely Love anything Bob Seger does. He is an amazing talent. None better.
Don Henley is in court right now suing for his portion of the song.
The absolute boss of rock history discussing the boss of old-time rock and roll. NICE! ❤
Another one of a kind great great. Not even one of my favs..but wow was he a hit machine . Yet another hard to top .
I saw Bob 3 years in a row in Boston, 1975,76,77, great live band. Thanks professor.
The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section core 4 known as "The Swampers" were Barry Beckett(keys), Roger Hawkins(drums), David Hood(bass,trombone) and Jimmy Johnson(guitar) The Swampers recorded, produced, or engineered classic hits by Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Percy Sledge, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Leon Russell, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rod Stewart, Bob Seger and The Staple Singers. Todays song is Iconic for sure.
Great times. Great music!
If you want to see a documentary you will never forget, and will probably watch multiple times, watch ‘Muscle Shoals”….its on YT, it’s beautiful…definitely the best doc I’ve ever seen, but it may also be the best MOTION PICTURE I’ve ever seen too. Just the story of Rick Hall is amazing.
RIP to Rick and all the other guys who’ve left us.
The Swampers have been known to pick a song or two.
So Muscle Shoals was a funky groovy place.
@@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980 Most def funky and somewhat groovy - happening for sure. The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin called the session musicians unexpectedly and impressively _"greasy"_ in the above-mentioned must-see documentary.
Thanks for featuring the band, they first blew me away when I saw them live on the 82 World Vengeance tour with Iron Maiden. It was amazing time in music, that I will never forget.
This song is great but brings back bad memories. Last date was to see this movie. Still listen to the song. Just have to fight back the memory. True testimony to how strong a song can be attached to our memories good or bad.
Sorry to hear.
@ProfessorofRock Brother, not your fault. The movie & song just happened to be there.
@@Jims_Camera_at_dawn What happened bro? Elaborate the story for us. 👂 😎✌️
@Aaron-us2ux Just my last date with someone. Turned out not to be what they portrayed themselves to be. Sadly, wouldn't be the last time that happened. Silly me for expecting honesty.
Hugs.
Saw Bob several years ago in Raleigh, N.C. So many hits he's had.
Bob is a awesome guy that makes awesome music
Enjoyed seeing him back in '83 down on the Ms. coast. We had an extra ticket and I still remember the shock on the guys face when we only sold it for what we paid for it. Great show.
Growing up in Michigan, Bob became an instant classic there when he made it big. Instead of a 60 Chevy, my night moves took place in a 74 Oldsmobile.😂
Yes..........I used to go hear Bob at the bandshell on Belle Isle. Me: '56 Chevy.
'75 Buick LeSabre...no center Post,and Buick Sport Mag Wheels
63 Buick Skylark convertible
@@kevinhendrix8786 sweet!....we had a 66 Electra in the Family, but I was too young to Drive it.😉
One of the greatest rock songs in existence. A celebration of everything great in Rock & Roll.
My friends went to see Bob Segar. They came by to surprise me and take me to the concert. I was in bed with the flu and had a raging fever. I barely remembered them coming by.
Sorry to hear!
That really is awful! Sorry
Bob Seger is one of favorites. Old Time Rock n Roll was my mom's favorite song especially when it came on the radio while she was driving! And it took me a second to figure out which song the Professor was talking about until he said it was in a movie then I figured out the song before the Professor said which one! I love that scene in Risky Business.
Double piano intro a smart accident! ONE BAD APPLE 🍏 Takes me way back! GO AWAY LITTLE GIRL,,, PUPPY LOVE 💓! NIGHT MOVES will always be my favorite Bob song!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
My sixth grade year, all the girls were absolutely Gaga over Donny. It was disgusting!
@@Edward-bd8iy Yep. About 4th or 5th for me. 6th the Doobies hit with Black Water.☮️
Bob is much loved in MI. Saw him a lot even in the 60s when he had The Last Herd
❤❤❤ Bob Seger❤❤❤ Old time Rock and Roll❤❤❤
You got it!
I remember seeing it in theaters and everyone was clapping along. Such a great scene and fantastic song.
I can only envy those who got to see Bob Seger live in concert. Have to make do with the albums “Live Bullet” and “Live Tonight”. I didn’t know that the guitar solo on “Old Time Rock And Roll” was played by a teenager. This was a terrific song, and Bob Seger had to have been kicking himself in the ass. George Jackson got a boatload of royalty money, though. Thanks for the info, Professor.
Love the Live Tonight album! Feel Like A Number is euphoric!
Same!
Old Detroiter here…….I remember Bob with the Last Herd back in ‘65-‘66 playing East side Detroit bars and dances. Walled Lake Casino w/ Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels………Detroit was magical then
When I heard "Her body softly swaying to that smokey beat" I got "the fire down below"
Main Street is one of my favorite Bob songs!
Definitely. A great song from the past. @@ceciliajones7816
I have been a fan of your page for a few years. And I am so excited to hear an episode about my beloved Muscle Shoals! I live about 40 miles from Muscle Shoals & am very , very proud of their place in music history. If anyone wants to make a musical road trip, venture down south where some of the greatest music of all time was recorded. Get a taste of that OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL.
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do)
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue, now, how 'bout you?
Sweet Home Alabama oh
Where the skies are blue…
Bob is a rock & roll champion. I am so glad I got to see his last tour and everyone got up on their feet when "Old Time Rock & Roll" played - a very very happy moment. :)
Actually Bob's biggest hit was Shake Down from the 1987 Beverly Hills Cop 2 sound track.. it was his only #1 song
Biggest hit in terms of streams
Unbelievable.
Adam is top notch in educating the music lovers around the world. Love this channel.
Hey man, is that Freedom Rock?
Yeah, man.
Well turn it up, man!

SEGER’S OLD TIME ROCK N ROLL IS FOREVER HIS AND SILVER BULLET BAND. IT DESCRIBES AN ERA LONG. GONE…. BUT THE MUSIC LIVES ON. WELL DONE PROFESSOR.
One of the first few albums I ever bought. I saved my allowance for weeks to get it.
Thanks for the Alf reference Professor, it's obscure detailed touches like this which make your videos so rich.
I saw Bob Seger when he opened for Kiss back in 1976. His hair was very long then AND he was not against cover songs as he sang Nutbush City Limits in that set.
As to your poll question, Turn The Page is definitely up there.
Cool!
Segar wrote Nutbush City Limits along with Tina Turner! Check the writing credits. 😮
@@ueno1 not disputing. It did not show on the sources I checked before posting, did not look at ASCAP or a record label
@@ProfessorofRock more cool was the $6 ticket price.😁
I just love this song! My mother-in-law also loved it, it was played at her funeral! I could imagine her dancing to it.
I guess that Seger could say lesson learned! Happy July 1st! 🤠
Same to you!
Happy Ju-LIE!
Love Bob, happy to have seen him countless times here in Michigan. I live near him on the lake. We always want him to come out and hang out with us on the lake, but he's a recluse kind of guy. We love his music so much. What a hometown Gem we have here!!
Such an iconic song. Seger definitely kicked himself for taking credit. We can thank Tom Cruise for making this song legendary
No kidding.
That Cruise scene will forever be in our lexicon
@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980
That scene is what turned me off to that song. Tom Cruise is the worst
It's A Long Way to the Top if you wanna Rock and Roll. Classic AC/DC. Bon telling it like it is!
Okay, you don't take a writing credit, but George Jackson gets a lifetime of residuals. That is honesty and nobility. Bob made enough money, believe me.
Just noticed the Kiss Unmasked album in the background. Nice!! That’s a really underrated album. Good pop stuff.
Whoa... so it is! I still have my "Love Gun" from the album of the same name... and it still works!
This is such a classic song, it's perfect for dancing around the house in your socks and shirt, just before a wacky night commences! Even better, Tom Cruise improvised the entire scene by himself.
That’s amazing that he improvised it!
My brother and I would quote the Freedom Rock commercial for decades after it aired lol. "Well turn it up man!" ❤
Ha!
Lyric from a Bob Seger song: ""C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell"
Bob Seger is a true treasure to music. I'm pretty sure rambling man was done in mono, at least that's the way it sounds. I looked all over for a rework of that one, never found it. Lesson to all... ALWAYS TAKE CREDIT.
That’s Chuck Berry, hon.
@@ceciliajones7816 Chuck Berry is the true king, but I have a strong liking for the Bob Seger version. Maybe because I grew up in that era. I also love some covers better than originals... But Chuck is the king.
Professor you really need to do at least a video about the music in Risky Business and one about Tangerine Dream. Old Time Rock an Roll brought a lot of attention to the movie and to Bob Seger. I love the scene using it in Risky Business as it represented being a teenager home alone. It really fit just "rocking out". I had heard Bob Seger on the local radio but with how many times I've watched Risky Business it's one of the songs I really associate with Bob Seger. I have a number of his releases but it's this song that is "his song".
Thanks for bringing some attention to Risky Business. It's my favorite movie ang brought me my favorite band, Tangerine Dream. They both need more attention. Thanks, great video Professor.

Bob certainly knows how to write a song. Maybe he writes when he's tired, restless, and bored. Maybe he's driven by the sword.
Love it. !
He comes up with great stuff!
I danced with my daughter at her two weddings in a special non traditional father-daughter dance. It has always been my favorite R&R song.
