Chills and tearing up, yet again, and I've heard this song too many times to count. "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" is one of the greatest lines in all of rock n roll..
One of my favorite all tine songs, and I cry every tome too!! So much soul in truth. 75 and crying! If there is a memorial for me this is would, for sure have to be played.
This song is the embodiment of the word "wistful". Even if you went down a different path, we all get wistful for whatever was, and Bob draws out that universal human experience.
One of the greatest songwriters in the business. The list of great songs is endless. His Live Bullet album is 🔥. The rabbit hole is deep with this guy.
Not saying this my favorite song. But this song hit me strong at the right time in my life. I'll never forget where I was when I actually listened to the lyrics of it. "suddenly found myself surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends " That hit me.
Bob Seger's list of hits goes on, and on, and on, like the Energizer rabbit. Old Time Rock and Roll is one of his most popular, though there are plenty of his songs that I like better. Katmandu, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, Fire Lake, Her Strut, Main Street... Seriously, just pick any random Seger song. You will not be disappointed.
Man, I'm not sure if you go by 'Abracadabra' or another name but I guess it doesn't matter. I am feeling an acceptance and a peace here on your channel. You brings positive and natural vibes. I'm already getting response by other members on here and a sense of belonging. I love the fact you respond back to my comments. It allows me to feel important among friends on here. So, I thank you and the new family on here. Peace out.
I came up during the 60s and 70s and I wouldn't trade it for the world so much great music and the awakening of the people who questioned everything going on in the world
This is my favorite song by Bob Seger. I've seen him 6 times in my life. 4 times in the 70's and 2 times after 2010. Watch Roll Me Away video you will be blown away.
You cant go wrong with Bob Seger "travelling' man" "Beautiful Loser" 2 songs but they go together on the album. Thanks for the reactions My parents had me growing up on this stuff.
Awesome choice. Abracadabra, these two songs in one are a rock radio staple and have been for 44 years. You'll find them on the Live Bullet album. One of the greatest jams youll ever hear bar none..
He went to the same High School as my older sister Blue Field Hill in Mich. and I had his first big hit on a 45 single record, Ramblin Gamblin Man! That was in the 60s and he got better in the 70s!
Brother i been waiting for someone like you,laid back and that actually breaks it down. Feels the song in your soul. And Love the outdoor,usually early morning's makes it that much better,birds chirping.thats badass. Your cool as hell bro.glad to be a part of your journey my friend.be blessed.
had a cousin in Michigan we lost too soon in 1979 and probably the biggest Seger fan i've ever known. can't hear a Bob Seger tune without seeing Gary's face! RIP Cuz.
Great reaction man! My dad took my mom to a Seger concert when they were dating, and as they say, the rest is history. Im 42 years old and have literally been listening to Seger my entire life. Mom held me in her arms when I was a child and danced me around the living room to his music on the turntable. When I started walking, she started teaching me how to dance. Til this day, if theres people over at their house having a few drinks and carrying on, we put on the very albums that we danced to when I was kid and have a dance. Its something that her and I have always shared, memories brother, they cant be taken away. Mom is my rock man, she loved me at my worst unconditionally. Bobs music has been a huge part of those memories, my life, and his writing has helped me more times than I can count.
I can imagine how hard it must be to pause a Bob Seger song.Like a good movie, you don't want to interrupt the story line.You just don't want to miss a word Bob is great.
Heart. Soul. Pure human feeling. It transgresses race. It ignores class, culture and breeding. It transcends everything and provides a lifeline between all of our prejudices into a connection on a level that is so human that it transcends everything to bring us to a chilling realization that says "I GET this" and connects us on a level that rises above everything and says "this matters, this brings us together in love" on a visceral level. Thank you for providing a platform for this to shine.
You picked up on a very important part of Bob Seger's success in that many of his songs give you a nostalgic feeling, or make you reflect on your life. That naturally makes you connect emotionally with his music, which is a huge part of why people like songs to begin with.
Thank-you my man - no matter how many times I've heard a song, seeing your genuine, thoughtful reaction always helps me find something I'd never noticed before. Another great song choice, thanks for making my morning!
Amazing I've been listening to Bob Seger since the early 70's and told I don't know how many people the true secret to Bob Seger is he makes you remember your memories thru his story telling and that's really all he does but he's just happens to be one of the very best story tellers there's ever been. As others have said he's got about 87 million great songs simply because he writes great stories that make you remember and most importantly make you feel. I just today found your channel and you doing Night Moves and Against the wind which by the way is one of my all time favorites by anyone. I'm sure you will have a hundred songs suggested all will be great but you have to listen to Roll Me Away a song of personal freedom. I'm truly glad I found your channel and especially you doing Bob! As I've just found liked and subscribed to your channel I don't know what you have or haven't heard so I won't go crazy and suggest a bunch of stuff for now but do listen to Roll Me Away you will love it and again I am very glad I found your channel. Give it hell big man all day everyday 😎🎸
I really appreciate your honest reactions as you discover songs, that most all of us are very familiar with. Your facial expressions remind each of us to our own reactions, the first time that we heard these songs as well. You are correct about Bob's narrative writing skills, he is truly gifted. He pushed the boundaries of what was was acceptable for radio at the time, by his clever use of words. The listener had to read between the lines, to really appreciate his writing. Again what I really like, is your reaction time and that smile of "getting it". As a teenager when these came out, you felt like you were on the way to adulthood, because this older person said it so well. It was always fresh in his mind ,what those emotions and feelings were like when he was a younger person as well. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band always gave a great concert performance as well. He could deliver in person, what you heard on the record with incredible energy. They were a very tight group and the horn player, Alto Reed was phenomenal in person as well. Keep up the great reactions and thoughts!
Gotta give credit to your audio quality. I remember riding my bike to the local music store as a kid to buy as many Bob Seger records (literal records) as I could. I remember be amazed after seeing the credits that Glen Frey was a background vocalist. I was familiar with him from listening to my dad's 8 tracks of Hotel California and the Long Run. This was the late 90s/ 2000. Grateful to experience a part of generations before mine.
He finally had a street named after him here in Allen Park Michigan a few years ago! Bob is from the Ann Arbor area. They were trying to get an unnamed street in Ann Arbor. The coolest part - Bob Seger Blvd would have met Main Street! That's another Seger song for you to check out, Main Street. Her Strut is a fun song as well!
Love your reaction and your attention to the lyrics. Bob Seger is a genius music maker and storyteller. I agree with you about that piano in the background and during the solo. So beautiful 😍
I knew the keyboards in this tune would catch your attention. Turn The Page is a MUST. Bob rocked in my younger years as we hit the highways riding our bikes as fast and far as we could.
Bob is LEGEND. Helluva writer, singer, and performer with a stellar band (The Silver Bullet Band) behind him. Here's a whole-hearted vote for "Roll Me Away" or "Main Street" next! Carry on, my man- and enjoy. Prediction: you will pretty much love every song- of his VERY many great hits- that you check out.
You Totally Understand Bob! You do a great job breaking his song down. If you get a chance check out the song Like a Rock By Bob! Thank you for your evaluation! Be safe!
Yo... that comment "Bob has the ability to make remember things" That is crazy insightful. I've never heard him described that way but it's perfect. Love the channel! Keep up the good work!
I just scrolling through and came across your channel and I LOVE it!!! I am a huge hip hop head myself but a classic rock, soul, and pop head as well!! Your review of this song was so on point!! “surrounded by strangers I thought were my friend,..finding myself further and further from my home”. ❤️ Gets me every time! Fantastic channel ❤️✌️✌️
Bob Segar knows how to tell a story,and that great music to back it up.Wow.Soothing for the soul .The piano is similar to Bruce Hornsby's style.Just Fantastic.
Great reaction on Bob Seger. "Memory lane" you say. As we get older, our memories of youth take on greater and greater meaning. Bob taps right in... in Night Moves, he shows just how powerful two words can be: "I remember"...
Abra, Its awesome seeing you appreciate great songs such as this. Makes a person think of days gone and how simpler things were in those days. Bob Segar is great driving music where you can think of experiences you may have had years ago
'Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.' might be my favorite Bob Seger line.
That line is so cool
My favorite as well.
Bob Seger isn't a star. Bob Seger is a national treasure. You should be very proud America.
Indeed
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️
"Turn the Page" is a must. Also "Like a Rock". You will recognize that from the 80's Chevy commercials. Master level story telling.
Turn the page, yes, please xx
"Turn the Page" especially
Yes yes on Turn the Page.
Hollywood Nights
Roll Me Away is a story
Chills and tearing up, yet again, and I've heard this song too many times to count. "Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then" is one of the greatest lines in all of rock n roll..
When I heard that line , I thought it was a cool line , I will be using
One of my favorite all tine songs, and I cry every tome too!! So much soul in truth. 75 and crying! If there is a memorial for me this is would, for sure have to be played.

You are a very different kind of reactor . You seem to really care. Thank you for the respect you show .
Indeed, thank you , i love Art and great Artist
This is badass, brother. Everything he wrote had so much meaning...at least to me it did and it still does at 70 years old. Thank you very much.
Thank you
@@abracadabra3033 Rock on......
Oh yeah. 73 and still love his music.
Guido Sarducci I remember back in the day when all my friends got together every Saturday to watch “Saturday Night Live” back when it was great!

"Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then." My favorite lyric of all time.
Hollywood Nights by him is exactly what you're talking about...makes you think back to your own memories.
This song is the embodiment of the word "wistful". Even if you went down a different path, we all get wistful for whatever was, and Bob draws out that universal human experience.
Exactly
I absolutely love your comment.
Thank you ✌️💜
Bob has a large catalog of hits. Hope you listen to more of his music.
Absolutely
One of the greatest songwriters in the business. The list of great songs is endless. His Live Bullet album is 🔥. The rabbit hole is deep with this guy.
Uncle Bob, helped raise our generation.
Not saying this my favorite song. But this song hit me strong at the right time in my life. I'll never forget where I was when I actually listened to the lyrics of it. "suddenly found myself surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends " That hit me.
20 years later I still get goosebumps
One of the greatest singer/songwriter.
One of my favorite lines ever “ Wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then” 🙌
Bob Seger's list of hits goes on, and on, and on, like the Energizer rabbit.
Old Time Rock and Roll is one of his most popular, though there are plenty of his songs that I like better.
Katmandu, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, Fire Lake, Her Strut, Main Street... Seriously, just pick any random Seger song. You will not be disappointed.
I'm so happy to see you reacting to Bob Seger. I've been lucky enough to see him in concert. Talented, class act all around. Thanks!❤👍
Thank you
Bob Seger is one of the greatest singer songwriters of the 70s so many great songs that spoke to a generation
Never get tired of saying it...Seger...one of the best rock and roll storytellers...EVER!!!

Love what you have to say about this song.
Thank you
Bob Seger tells such great stories with his song and his incredible voice.
One of the things I love most about my 70’s music (graduated in’74) was the lyrics made sense and told a story.
Check out "You'll Accompany Me" by Bob Seger. Great track that no one reacts to.
You nailed it when you said, "that's everybody". What a testament to great songwriting.
Thank you for reminding me of Bob Seger's wonderful music.
I'm happy to do so because he is an incredible Artist to me with that easy going music , make you feel good
Bob Seger IS a wonderful storyteller! All of his songs are excellent.
Thanks for this reaction. Love your channel 🎶

You can't go wrong with any Bob Seger song.
This man sings about life.
Like a rock has always been my song.
Check out “turn the page”, one of his best by Bob Seger

Incredible song. Thanks for the reaction.
Yes!! Definitely Turn the Page. Incredible story telling. Tells it like it is in the road in a band! Tough life!
Reaction channels bring together folks that the media tries to divide.
That was well said and an absolute fact ✌
You're damn right, he's very good at recalling moments of his life.
Bob Seger was all over FM radio during the 1970s.
Another great group! They had so many hits! I have all of their vinyl record albums in my collection. ❤❤❤

Yes your so right, it does not matter the genre you love, Bob pulls you in! Travelin Man and Beautiful Loser off the Live Bullet, just so good!
his voice makes me want to buy a truck.
I can see that
"Like a Rock" Chevy truck commercial jingle for years now.
His voice made ME want to run away with him!
