I think Bob Seger resonated with so many people because he just seems like a regular guy you could sit down and drink a beer with. 2:09: "His voice is so captivating"......I agree baby girl. His voice just pulls you in and doesn't let go.
Bob Seger is a great rock singer, songwriter & musician known for his raspy powerful voice. He wrote & recorded songs that dealt with love, women & blue-collar themes. He had so many great songs especially in the 70's-80's such as "Turn The Page", "Still The Same", "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", "Hollywood Nights", "Against The Wind", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", "Shame On The Moon", "Roll Me Away", "Like A Rock", "Shakedown", "We've Got Tonight", "Old Time Rock & Roll" etc.
Nobody in rock music ever did looking back on their life with a kind of bittersweet nostalgia better than Bob Seger - it's a theme in a lot of his best music.
I was 15 when I heard this song for the first time. Bob Seger was really popular back then. This was on the jukebox at the place I worked at. It got played a lot along with the other 70s classics at the time.
No one paints the picture like Seger. I remember being younger and hearing Stranger In Town album and was hooked. Huge catalog of hits, keep them coming please!!!
Same album that hooked me! flash 40 whatever years later and I am in Alto's bedroom breaking down songs from Live Bullet while on a small break on last tour!!
Great reaction. Bob is an incredible songwriter. I was fortunate enough to see him in the late 70's at the Philadelphia Spectrum. I encourage you to watch the official video for the song "Like a Rock". It will touch your hearts, plus it's got a great guitar solo that compliments the song. A very nostalgic song about our faded youth. You have heard snippets of it on truck commercials. Enjoy. Thanks!
That's my favorite song of Bob Segar. It helps to be a little older to really get what Bob's singing about. At 59 years of age, it really resonates with me, even more so than when the song came out.
I'm from Michigan where Bob is a god, and I love his music so damn much, and this song is my favorite of his, and that's hard to say with all his amazing songs.
Sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat, I drift back in time, and I find my feet, down on Main Street. That one line has always evoked such a powerful feeling of nostalgia and sentimentality for me. It speaks to memory, of times that were good (whatever they may be), and how memory sustains us through tough times.
I know this street he is talking about.. I have been on it alot as it is only about 15 miles from where I live. And I think of this song ever time I am there!!!!!
Still the Same, Turn the Page, Hollywood Nights, Like a Rock. All are REQUIRED listening :) Also. smoky beat is a fantastic phrase! There are no bad Bob Seger songs but they are fun to try to find.
So glad you reacted to Mainstreet!! Have always loved that haunting guitar riff!!! And that guitar solo and the outro are works of art. Each note crafted perfectly!!
Bob Seger is one of my all time favorite singer-songwriters. He's a product of the upper Midwest music scene around Detroit, Michigan. He draws influence from the blues, soul, rock, even motown. I have every album he has released. If you think "Night Moves" is good, you definitely need to check out the albums "Stranger In Town" with iconic tracks "Hollywood Nights", "Old Time Rock and Roll," and "We've Got Tonight". Another classic Seger album is "Against The Wind" with the title track being one of his biggest hits. It also features the classic songs " You'll Accompany Me" and "Her Strut.' Bob's raspy voice and songs of love and blue collar America give off a musical vibe like no other. It's an absolute joy watching you react to his music alongside your mom! Well done!! Keep the reactions coming! P.S.check out his live performance of "Turn The Page" from his iconic "Live Bullet" release! You'll be glad you did!!
His songs tell the stories of growing up in the Upper mid west... From Night moves to Roll me away and Turn the page.... his songs really tell my life story.
Please please keep doing Seger. Being from Michigan brings back so many memories. “Like a rock” “Against the Wind” “Roll me away” “Fire lake” “Fine memory” Hope all is well with you, love from Michigan
Bob told the story of this song the last time I saw him in concert. It actually took place on Ann St, just off of Main in Ann Arbor, MI. There was a jazz and blues club with big windows in the front. Bob was too young to get in, but there was one girl who was there all the time. She would dance to the music toward the front of the club, and he would see her there all the time. He was infatuated with her.
Im going through your past videos I didnt get to see. I love Bob Seger. He's in my top 5 of favorites. Never apologize for talking about your memories. I love hearing all of them. ☮️❤
My wife and I saw him a couple of years ago in Columbus Ohio. Best concert ever. My favorite artist. Great rabbit hole to go down. My fave is "Like a Rock!". You may recognize this one, was in a Chevy truck commercial. Love your reactions!
Years ago Bob Costas had a late night talk show and Bob Seger did a two part interview during which he chain smoked constantly , that's where the voice comes from . In one song he claimed to smoke five packs a day .
I love your family stories! I couldn't wear my mom's clothes, being of a contrasting gender, but I did wear her softball jersey from her work softball team. I wore it until it literally fell apart. I wish I still had it. Fortunately like you I still have my mom; I get to see her this Saturday. Keep up the good work, ladies!
Bob Segers Albums in the 70s were recorded in Muscle Shoals at Fame studio The house band nick named the Swampers played on those albums Very talented studio musicians I believe It's Jimmy Johnson on the guitar here
Bonjour from France ! I love this channel I discovered yesterday , you are both so refreshing with your comments about songs. I already made some great discoveries here. I have been a fan of Bob Seger for 40 years. He is not too famous in France but his Live album released in the early 80's was fantastic (thank you Bro for buying it !). My top songs are "We've got tonight" and "Against the Wind" but many others are great too (Still the same ...) . Keep on posting !
Bob Seger is an outstanding singer-songwriter and you'll always get a good story from all of his songs. Some other songs to check out from him are "Turn The Page", "Like A Rock", "Still The Same", "Against The Wind" and "Fire Lake".
I can go with "manly." I had the great good fortune to see him in concert in 1996 when the "It's a Mystery" tour came through KC. Can something be electric and laid back? Somehow he pulled it off. Great song. Thanks. BTW, love the jewelry Mom. I think we have some of the same "accessories sensibility."
One of the few to be in The rock and roll hall of fame and song writer hall of fame. It's been said he doesn't know how to write a bad song. He was also mentor to a young man in high school by the name of Glen Fry who would become a founding member of The Eagles!
Great reaction and song! Two my other favorite Bob songs are Strut and Like a Rock. He always had the best guitar solos that are so complimentary to the songs. 😁
I love Mama Gap kind of explaining how you might not have heard Bob Seger before. 🤣 You two are great. Thanks for the reaction. ETA - yes, both songs are on the same album
I was 17 years old when I first heard 'Mainstreet' on the radio. I can only imagine hearing it again for the first time. Fantastic vocals but the guitar intro is really what grabs me at first.
The intro guitar is from session musicians at Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. In live performances Alto Reed substituted the Sax for the electric guitar.
A play on words : Bob Seger is 2 + 2 to Night Moves known as the Detroit Boy that was always Running Against the Wind. Like a Rock he was Shamed by the Moon so Turn the page to find more hits. Just Roll With it and You'll Accompany Me all the way down Main Street.
Need some rocking Bob Seger: "Rock and Roll Never Forgets"; "Katmandu"--live version; "Feel Like a Number"; "Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight"; "Shakedown"
Another Bob Seger classic, I love the way a song can tell the story without the need for a video, for me I find videos often spoil a song (unless it's just the band performing) as you get someone else's (mostly not the band either) interpretation 'forced' on you. I'd like to suggest 'Roll me Away' or ;Hollywood Nights' for the next choice😊
I've been learning that I'm not one of the few that love this song, but one of the many! I saw him do this song live during his Night Moves promotional tour in 1978 at the Seattle Center Colosseum. From the front row baby! Right in front of the guitar player.
He has so many albums. Maybe you should get his greatest hits for a starter. It covers his slower ballads and a few rockers too. This song is a true story about his youth on Main Street in Ann Arbor Michigan where he is from. Live Bullet album from Detroit in 1975. Nine tonight is another live album from 1980. Check a few out. Nine tonight the title song and first song on the album rocks. I'm in your moms age range and in Michigan and have seen Bob do live shows close to 100 times. He is my favorite for sure.
Actually about Ann Street in Ann Arbor that lyrically morphed into Main Street because he thought it fit better, but whatever, true story of his late teens...
Well keep going. One of the greatest singer, songwriters to ever put pen to paper. May I suggest "Against the Wind". Your Mother knows it. You might also from Forrest Gump.
And let's not forget Tom Cruises Debut headline movie, Risky Business and his Under wear scene dancing to the tune of Bob Segers 'Old Time Rock N' Roll" 😁
Man I love Bob Seger, of my past the one thing I truly miss is our Music, often unable to be pigeon holed into any one category you had no problem find something you liked. Want a Fun Bob Seger song, "Sunspot Baby". I never seemed to fit in but I reveled in that, who wants to be like everyone else?
Ok here us a song from Bob that doesnt get requested a lot, but is perhaps one of his very best. Its a really upbeat piano beat and has a truly masterful story if young adults social struggles. Its called The Fire Inside and u wont regret checking it out
"Like a rock" and "Turn the page" are two of my personal favourites.
For me it's "Turn the Page" and "Hollywood Nights"
@@DanielFrost21 The Strut!!

Beautiful loser, Traveling Man, Katmandu, Night Moves...
Don't forget 'The Famous Final Scene'
Ramblin Gamblin Man was the first Segar song I ever heard and it blew me away. I bought the 45 and played the grooves off.
Nobody in rock music ever did looking back on their life with a kind of bittersweet nostalgia better than Bob Seger - it's a theme in a lot of his best music.
Don’t forget “Roll me Away” and “Turn the Page”. Bob’s voice is the best. And his band is great
Excellent suggestions.

Bob is a great singer, musician, and performer, but he is a PHENOMENAL songwriter. When you really listen to the syories he tells! Amazing!
No one paints the picture like Seger. I remember being younger and hearing Stranger In Town album and was hooked. Huge catalog of hits, keep them coming please!!!
Same album that hooked me! flash 40 whatever years later and I am in Alto's bedroom breaking down songs from Live Bullet while on a small break on last tour!!
Y'all should do the live version of "Hollywood Nights ". It'll really show you what a Bob Segar concert was like.
Great reaction. Bob is an incredible songwriter. I was fortunate enough to see him in the late 70's at the Philadelphia Spectrum. I encourage you to watch the official video for the song "Like a Rock". It will touch your hearts, plus it's got a great guitar solo that compliments the song.

That's my favorite song of Bob Segar. It helps to be a little older to really get what Bob's singing about. At 59 years of age, it really resonates with me, even more so than when the song came out.
One of the best albums my opinion.. Bob Segar great performer
Best ever !!
I already love you two. Born in 70 and omg, I'm so thankful for that. Even though it means I'm getting old, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
So many of Seger’s songs spark nostalgia. Just the tone of the guitar in this one adds to the story.
Bob Seger is an extraordinary story teller through his kick-ass music.
I'm from Michigan where Bob is a god, and I love his music so damn much, and this song is my favorite of his, and that's hard to say with all his amazing songs.
I love to watch a mom and daughter getting along so well. Family is one of the most important things of all. Good job as always.
Thank you Willie, such a lovely thing to say. We completely agree! We're glued to the hip.
Sometimes even now, when I'm feeling lonely and beat, I drift back in time, and I find my feet, down on Main Street. That one line has always evoked such a powerful feeling of nostalgia and sentimentality for me. It speaks to memory, of times that were good (whatever they may be), and how memory sustains us through tough times.
So cool to see Bob getting the respect he deserves from reactors from all ages. He's a one-in-a-million talent!
I know this street he is talking about.. I have been on it alot as it is only about 15 miles from where I live. And I think of this song ever time I am there!!!!!
I lived in Ann Arbor during my younger years, which is where Bob Seger is from, and know exactly the street and club he is singing about.
If you want to trace Bob's earliest work then check out one of his earliest bands called Bob Seger and The Last Heard song called East Side Story.
Bob is Incredible her strut is one of my favorites
BOB SEGER rocks ever an ever!!!!!
Still the Same, Turn the Page, Hollywood Nights, Like a Rock. All are REQUIRED listening :) Also. smoky beat is a fantastic phrase! There are no bad Bob Seger songs but they are fun to try to find.
Bob is a living legend
So glad you reacted to Mainstreet!! Have always loved that haunting guitar riff!!! And that guitar solo and the outro are works of art. Each note crafted perfectly!!
Even when ur old u remember that girl !

Roll Me Away and Against The Wind, Stories of my life!
LOVE Segar!!!! love the two of yours variety and genre's
His songs tell the stories of growing up in the Upper mid west... From Night moves to Roll me away and Turn the page.... his songs really tell my life story.
Love Bob's music I remember when it was new. I really love "Turn the Page ".
Saw him in the eighties one of the best sounding concerts I've ever been to. Sounded exactly like he does on the album unbelievable show
Sunspot Baby is another excellent song by Bob Seger
Please please keep doing Seger. Being from Michigan brings back so many memories. “Like a rock” “Against the Wind” “Roll me away” “Fire lake” “Fine memory” Hope all is well with you, love from Michigan
You will love any Seger music. TAKE IT from a Detroit Man that grew up with him! He's a Rock n Roll Hall of Famer! Enjoy yr Reviews!

The 70s was the decade of the singer eongwriter storyteller - hands down! Wonderful time!
Great storytelling by Bob Seger
Bob was one that got me through the disco era. Thanks!
I remember going back to the music stroe to get the Beautiful Loser album.
He is one of the best storyteller rocker!
I grew up and i heard these songs. I'm so glad.
On the live bullet album the way turn the page and beautiful loser sound is a must listen! Bob Seger rocks!
Add "Her Strut" to your list for a little harder rockin music!
Bob Seger is my favorite, always a good story. So many songs, Against the wind, Shame on the moon, Hollywood nights, Real love and many more.
"Turn the Page" is a great song.
My wife and I saw him a couple of years ago in Columbus Ohio. Best concert ever. My favorite artist. Great rabbit hole to go down. My fave is "Like a Rock!". You may recognize this one, was in a Chevy truck commercial. Love your reactions!

His first hit was "Ramblin Gamblin Man" in 1969. Great song. Another one of my favorite is "Her Strut"
One of my favorites is Shame on the Moon just beautiful. But you really can't go wrong with any of his songs there all pretty magical.
One of Bob's great covers since he didn't write it. One of his best songs is 'The Famous Final Scene', it's a heartbreaking masterpiece.
This is my favorite Bob Seger song
"Turn The Page" now that's Bob's voice! 👍
"come to papa" has a funky vibe that you will love
I love your family stories! I couldn't wear my mom's clothes, being of a contrasting gender, but I did wear her softball jersey from her work softball team. I wore it until it literally fell apart. I wish I still had it. Fortunately like you I still have my mom; I get to see her this Saturday. Keep up the good work, ladies!
My favorite Bob Seger song. His voice along with that guitar.
my favorite song by him is TIL IT SHINES
Don't shy away from Bob's older work. You will like it too.
Bob Segers Albums in the 70s were recorded in Muscle Shoals at Fame studio The house band nick named the Swampers played on those albums Very talented studio musicians I believe It's Jimmy Johnson on the guitar here
Hello, how are the divas of the reactions ? This song by Bob Seger brings back excelent memories 👍✨🇨🇱✍️🌹
You would truly enjoy Bob Segar Like a Rock .
It's Seger NOT Segar!
Bob Seger is the cornerstone of the sound track of my life. I'm 62.
Excellent choice and commentary. Seger's vocal rasp works great with his everyman lyrical themes.

Love your reaction to this song. You’ll get many requests for Like a Rock!!!
That's my favorite Bob Segar song! It helps if you're a little older to really get the song. At 59 years old, it really resonates with me.
@@davidahart2113 Agreed, but I think any age appreciates it. He’s just an amazing songwriter!!
His 'Like A Rock' video is FANTASTIC.
Bob Seger is an outstanding singer-songwriter and you'll always get a good story from all of his songs. Some other songs to check out from him are "Turn The Page", "Like A Rock", "Still The Same", "Against The Wind" and "Fire Lake".
segers greatest hits and or bob seger live . both are great
When I first heard this song back in the 70's ,I was sure he was a black singer ! All soul and throat .... Magical...
Another blast from the past. You ladies are really bringing back the memories tonight. Thank you for that.
Thank you for watching!
I can go with "manly." I had the great good fortune to see him in concert in 1996 when the "It's a Mystery" tour came through KC. Can something be electric and laid back? Somehow he pulled it off.

Great reaction and song! Two my other favorite Bob songs are Strut and Like a Rock. He always had the best guitar solos that are so complimentary to the songs. 😁
The WHOLE album is his best, also check out "Live Bullet" from 1975, a year before this album.
I love Mama Gap kind of explaining how you might not have heard Bob Seger before. 🤣 You two are great. Thanks for the reaction.
ETA - yes, both songs are on the same album
I was 17 years old when I first heard 'Mainstreet' on the radio. I can only imagine hearing it again for the first time. Fantastic vocals but the guitar intro is really what grabs me at first.
Kid Rock inducted him into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Two Detroit boys. ;)
Main Street is my second favourite Bob Seger song. Till it Shines is my favourite. Thank you for reacting.

My fave (of many) by him... this is such a great guitar intro too.....love it....try Her Strut, You'll Accompany Me, Fire Lake, We've Got Tonite
Need some rocking Bob Seger: "Rock and Roll Never Forgets"; "Katmandu"--live version; "Feel Like a Number"; "Betty Lou's Getting Out Tonight"; "Shakedown"
What you thought was a guitar was actually a horn, a reed instrament,not sure what kind. But his horn player, Alto Reed, was a key part of the band.
Im trom the Moter City got to see Bob many times you have got check Bob Seger live a COBO Hall i got ro be there great live show .
Recorded at the famous Muscle Shoals Sound Studio w/ The Swampers Musicians who owned the studio, along with Pete Carr on Lead guitar 🎸
My favorite isstill his first. Ramblin Gamblin man. If you like his rough voice you'll love that one
Another Bob Seger classic, I love the way a song can tell the story without the need for a video, for me I find videos often spoil a song (unless it's just the band performing) as you get someone else's (mostly not the band either) interpretation 'forced' on you.

Buy it..every track on this album is a masterpiece
I've been learning that I'm not one of the few that love this song, but one of the many! I saw him do this song live during his Night Moves promotional tour in 1978 at the Seattle Center Colosseum. From the front row baby! Right in front of the guitar player.
As albums you can't go wrong with greatest hits, especially for someone with really no memories of Bob.
against the wind is my favorite B.S. song like a rock is second
He has so many albums. Maybe you should get his greatest hits for a starter. It covers his slower ballads and a few rockers too. This song is a true story about his youth on Main Street in Ann Arbor Michigan where he is from. Live Bullet album from Detroit in 1975. Nine tonight is another live album from 1980. Check a few out.

Well keep going. One of the greatest singer, songwriters to ever put pen to paper. May I suggest "Against the Wind". Your Mother knows it. You might also from Forrest Gump.
I would describe his voice is full and rich.
Perfectly said!
'Ramblin' Gamblin' man' is excellent as well! Rockin' vibe!
When you do some Christmas music Bob has a great rendition of Little Drummer Boy. You’ll love it.
And let's not forget Tom Cruises Debut headline movie, Risky Business and his Under wear scene dancing to the tune of Bob Segers 'Old Time Rock N' Roll" 😁

In 1970 The Bob Seeger System opened some concerts for Jethro Tull.
Ok here us a song from Bob that doesnt get requested a lot, but is perhaps one of his very best. Its a really upbeat piano beat and has a truly masterful story if young adults social struggles. Its called The Fire Inside and u wont regret checking it out
Great react, this is my favorite song ....another good song is Hollywood nights..another great story telling there
