-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.c...
I look back at 65 years of age and marvel that this was just what we heard everyday on the radio. So many artists that are revered today that were just the latest to be played back then. I have been blessed to hear so many great artists over the years and Bob was certainly a part of my music collection.
Well said
We had such a wide variety of excellent music as close as the radio. I was so naive I expected music to just keep getting better. I was disappointed. 71 and have seen and heard a lot.
@@armadillotoe I see I’m in good company! Blessings to you sir.
Same age, same here, same everything!😊
The song literally says”””There was this long lovely dancer in a club downtown”, so, yes, the song is about a stripper. Also, the bassist on this recording was none other than Carol Kaye of the famed “Wrecking Crew”. Back then music was laid down on tape and studio time was outrageously expensive so you hired pro session musicians to save time/money.
Nobody does reminiscing and self-reflection like Bob Seger. I also find Seger's "Fire Lake" to be severely underrated.
Fire Lake is a cracker with the Eagles doing backup vocals
same here fire lake is my favorite
Fire Lake is absolutely awesome. Everything he released was so deep in meaning and sounds great. Voice is legendary.
100% Agree !
Thats a great tune.
Check out “Her Strut” next. Arguably Bob Seeger’s greatest banger. Also, the chorus contains the greatest double entendre ever in the history of rock music.
we do respect her but(t).great great song
I would suggest Come to Poppa
BO DIDDLEY MEDLEY, LIVE BULLET.
Her strut is a great tune. You guys are getting soft with your music choices. I remember you guys looking at bangers. Two more suggestions: brontosaurus by the move, and spooky tooth. The album's called spooky2. Rock on
At one of his concerts I was at, he said Strut is about Jane Fonda.
Sorry guys but I’ve been listening to Bob Seger forever and have never heard anything less than an A+ from him! This song is another great one!
Sho got that right Russell.
B+ ? Wow.
B+ is an insult.
You’re speaking as a big fan of this artist snd genre. I like Seger ALLOT but I wouldn’t rate this as equal to Pink Floyd, the best of Queen ir Zeppelin etc. A&A are comparing this song to ALL the music they’ve heard over the years. I think , even as a fan, that B+ is fair. It’s not even among his best songs imo.
Keep in mind that they said they have revised they’re rating system. They’re harder graders now. They r heard enough rock now to have allot of comparisons.
B+ is MORE than fair. It's a mediocre song. Alex and Andy don't have a biased opinion like you do.
You mentioned "Roll Me Away" as a possible next Seger tune. I would definitely recommend it. It's got that Seger storytelling thing goin' on and the breakdown/buildup of the last verse and chorus is a sonic beauty to behold, right up to the last line, which fairly explodes. If any song could make you believe you could fly, this would be the one.
You have to do "Roll me away"! One of his best ever!!!
ROLL ME AWAY makes me want to get the bike out and ride.
Top-3 Seger jam
I love roll me away and also like a rock actually all Bob's songs what a storyteller
Glad you finally go to Bob’s other masterpiece in my opinion - my second favorite Seger song after “Night Moves,” both “S-tier” in my book. This and “Night Moves” have never been surpassed in conveying both the unique emotions of coming into manhood, and nostalgia for that time in life. The feel of the guitar in this has never been topped for me in terms of perfectly matching the emotion of a song’s lyrics.
My sentiments as well. You said it better than I could.
I know I was so surprised I jumped on it right away. I thought they had already gotten to this. 'Bout darn time guys. Haha.
They screwed the pooch on this review.
I think they were going into this wanting the rockin' Seger and weren't able to get into the vibe. Hopefully they'll give this another listen at some point. @@moniphil
@@andyb7942 And it was hardly a country sounding song. Blues, definitely. Likely inspired by the band he heard at the club downtown-Washboard Willie.
Roll me away is a must. Upbeat tempo, storytelling and a longing in his voice for something better in life will get you an A+ song.
Well put. All in favor of "Roll Me Away" for the next Seger pick? C'mon, hold 'em up high.
Thanks for your asupport!
it is a modern day classic song!
@@joekennedy4662
@@joekennedy4662Absolutely. Because of the Cher/Sam Elliott movie Mask, Roll Me Away makes me cry.
I agree on Roll Me Away. My favorite Seger song.
@@bethcrumpton476 I think that might've been the first time l heard the song. If not, then it was the first time l really HEARD it. The way it was used during the closing credits was masterful. Thanks for bringing up "Mask." It was one of the first movies l ever binged-watched . . . in the theater!
Mainstreet is the most beautiful song. So melodic and atmospheric.
This is my favorite Bob Seger song. A nice easy jam that tells a story in a simple way.
A bit stalker-y these days. But you always knew Bob was safe.
Same here
@@itzel1735stalking a stripper. And yet Bob makes it sound sweet.
This is an S Tier song for me! Just the tone of the guitar sparks nostalgia, as he looks back on past memories. The line, “Her body softly swaying to that smoky beat “ paints a vivid picture in your mind. The more you listen to it the better it gets!
This song creates a very strong atmosphere to the relatable story, melodically powerful. Yes, they definitely undergraded it (though I'd go A+, not quite S). But in their defense, I think this song is one of those you need to hear a handful of times to fully appreciate.
Bob, along with the recently departed Gordon Lightfoot, sure knows how to tell a story.
The entire Night Moves album is fire. "Sunspot Baby", "Fire Down Below"', "Come to Poppa", and "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" are absolute bangers.
You can NEVER go wrong with Bob....part of the soundtrack to my youth in Highschool in the late 70"s
"Like a Rock", "Roll Me Away", "Katmandu", "Fire Lake", Seger still has a bunch of solid singles if you want more.
Alright, I'm campaigning shamelessly for "Roll Me Away."
Glenn Frey from the Eagles was a good friend of Bob Seger. Bob told Glenn that he had these softer songs and Glenn said he should put them to a record. Bob was concerned because he said his fans are used to his rockin stuff but Glenn convinced him. Thank you Glenn Frey
You guys are lost. My favorite Bob Seger song. The acoustic and piano meld perfectly. Every instrument does its part flawlessly. Great story telling as usual. His stepping away from the microphone at the end to show the fading memory is epic Bob.
I couldn't say it better
Flawless is the right word. It''s Bruce Springsteen with something extra.
Roll Me Away is excellent... It pretty much marks the last gasp of Seger's classic era of music-making.
This was my favorite cut off the "Night Moves" album; an album all about Bob's misspent youth. I'm so grateful we had great music like this on our radios, turntables and 8-tracks. I'm sure we took it for granted and thought music would always be this good.
Actually I remember the day when I asked myself how can the music keep being so good? The music would be so fantastic every week would be something new coming out in different. And I just thought where can it go from here how can they keep coming up with this stuff? Well it literally went downhill for the most part each decade after.
@@tjtampa214 The last 10 years have been abysmal. There was still some hope from about 2000-2005. Now there's none in the mainstream. Still a lot of talent out there on the internet.
"Like A Rock" will get slammed for being part of Chevrolet's add campaign, but when you listen to the whole song and let the emotion kick in, it truly is one of his best. If you don't dig it now, just wait until you are a little older.
My absolute favorite
So good in concert!!! “You’ll Accomp’ny Me” is still my favorite!!🤘🔥
Absolutely love that one! Some of the best backup vocals ever in a song.
Yes!
My favorite also!
Bob Seger Live Bullet is an awesome album to dive into. You can literally listen to that album on repeat for days.
They did it on Patreon a couple years ago.
Damn right it’s dope . That’s a masterpiece of songwriting and performance. At least to this 62 year old who was about 16 when this came out . Nice job guys .
ROLL ME AWAY yes!
Yep. "Roll Me Away" for the next Seger. Great choice.
Roll Me Away that's a big yes.
My favorite Seger song. It's really stood the test of time. That transition to the chorus and guitar lick is pure GOLD.
B+??? WTF? Man, lost credibility. Mainstreet is A+ to S Tier. The A7sus4 is the chord that caught Alex's attention. Genius.
That guitar lick still pierces my soul after all these decades...
Yes.
Has to be my fave Seeger song. Many of you probably don't know that Bob Seeger had a first great hit song in '69 named "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man."
With what would become the MUSCLE SHOALS SWAMPERS!
Roll me away has got to be the next song you hit
Yes, My fav Seger Song. So uplifting and inspiring
This song is reality from youth, for me. 14 years old, standing on a small town main street outside the bar that advertised "Exotic Dancing" and trying to see the corner of the stage, through the front window and past the cash register for the off sale store in front of the bar. This song has struck a nostalgic note for me, ever since the first time I heard it at age 17-18. The whole Night Moves album feels to me like a nostalgic look back from his thirties. I hope you'll get to Rock & Roll Never Forgets, as it is another fantastic "looking back" song that will also kick your butt a little bit.
Senior year high school, three friends and I decide on a whim to go to Printer’s Alley (speaking on Nashville). A couple beers at the Captain’s Table, and we found ourselves outside the Black Poodle “trying to get our courage up.” As we were working to convince the least adventurous among us the door opened and the bouncer said, “show’s just starting, would you gentlemen like to come in?” I still can’t hear the song “Centerfold” without thinking of that night and the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.
As others have suggested, Roll Me Away should be next. The Seegs is always special but that one will make you want to hop on a motorcycle and ride. It's a vibe.
Thank god for the internet that we can still hear this great music.
For me, Mainstreet is a minimum A..it's just a classic.
Roll Me Away is a definite DO! Such great lyrics & Seger growl. Lyrically it paints an easy visual & it kicks A$$ too!
🦅..& my soul began to rise...
✌️❤️🇦🇺🦘🌏
I'm pushing for Roll Me Away, too. I keep thinking, "Next time, guys . . . next time . . . you'll get it right." Good choice.
Bob always sets up a video in my head. I can see that underage kid just waiting for a glimpse of her walking down the street. I’ve always loved this song. Thanks for watching!
Aint that the truth. This song is so visual, if that makes sense. I think we have all had that one teenage crush,too. Makes the song that much more poingiant.
I have a very specific image in my head of the singer viewing the bar from the window and then watching the girl walk down the darkened street alone later. I’ve listened to this song for decades and every time the same images pop up. That’s a storyteller. 🎶❤️
His songs have a way of taking me back to my teens❤ Her Strut and Feel Like a Number are underrated IMO
"Roll me away "will not disappoint. You will think it's a Banger!
Bob's greatest gift is that his songs transport the listener "into the song". One becomes the person living the song.
I remember on a number of occasions, my buddy picking me up in his station wagon and listening to this song on the way to high school. I look back now and realize that those were special times.
Have you still never done ROLL ME AWAY? 🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️
I've been requesting it for 2-3 years, but you guys should do a reaction to Bob Seger's Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight. It's definitely an S tier banger. This song isn't about a stripper or strip club, it's about a blues club near where Seger grew up and he wrote this song after hanging outside of the club when he was around 13-14 years old to listen to a Chicago blues band called Washboard Willie. He saw people dancing in the club and one of them was the younger lady that he sings about in the song. 🤘✌️
Great song.
Idk... Sceptic me wants to say sounds kinda like "the cleaned up version" of the tale an artist might give to an interviewer with a PG audience. Lol
Non skeptical me: Great background info to a great song!
So smooth. Try Her Strut, banger all day
Probably my favorite Seger song. And little did I know that it was recorded in my home county, Lauderdale County AL…just across the Tennessee River in Sheffield. Local Florence guitarist Pete Carr on lead guitar. Pete died in 2020.
BTW: Seger’s only #1 song, “Shakedown,” could easily be chosen as a song lots of people love and hate.
Pete Carr was an amazing guitarist. I have his solo albums.
@@richsalm7474 Such great tone and simplicity. Can’t believe A&A didn’t notice.
@@richsalm7474 He played the lead on many songs on There Goes Rhymin’ Simon, didn’t he? Like Kodachrome. Also on Barbara Streisand’s Guilty album. I’m not a huge Streisand fan, but the playing is immaculate. Also player lead during Simón & Garfunkel’s Central Park Reunion.
Another banger recorded with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, who played on some of the most iconic albums ever recorded. In interviews they said that Bob gave them credit on the songs and has paid them all these years, without a contract. A true handshake deal and it just shows what kind of person Bob Seger is. Something as simple as the main guitar riff on Mainstreet can make all the difference in a song and Bob understands that.
My all time favorite song from this band/man who I grew up watching in concert and idolizing! He's one of a kind!!
My all-time favourite Seger song.
Seger on the origins of the song:
Just like "Night Moves," that song rings true. What do they tell you about writing? They say you have to write about what you know. I grew up near that street corner. My older brother was a lot of trouble and I was not. My parents always called me "the good one" and they said: "You're the one we can trust." So at age 10, 11, 12 I was able to walk through Ann Arbor until midnight if I felt like it.
There was a club, and this blues band from Chicago named Washboard Willie was playing there. In the window of this club there were people dancing, and occasionally there would be a beautiful girl dancing in the window. And at my age you were starting to wake up to girls. I would sit out there and watch through the window and listen to this great R&B. I'm looking and I'm listening and thinking this is what I wanna do with my life.
The club was very lively, and to a 12, 13-year-old that was pretty cool. I loved the groove because it's Chicago blues, and the women are dancing and you're starting to think the women are looking pretty good. So all that stuff ended up becoming the elements for the song "Mainstreet."
Bob Seger is one of the best story tellers of the era. He can really construct a mental picture.
"Roll Me Away" is good, a song that you should probably hear eventually. I think it would be my 3rd choice for your next Seger song, with my first 2 choices being "Rock & Roll Never Forgets" and "Still the Same". BTW, I really like the look of the house that you did this reaction in. And the 2 paintings, one on each side of the screen, are both appealing paintings and well-situated for the angle that this video is shot from.
Bob Seger's best song. This is the song that made him famous.
No, that would have been the single before it, "Night Moves," which made the top 10. "Mainstreet" stalled at #19 for some reason (maybe because so many bought the album). We agree, though, that it is Seger's best.
But while "Night Moves" made him REALLY famous, he was already known for "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man," which made the top 20 in late '68 or early '69.
@@josephself2610 I might have my songs reversed. I was like 15 or 16 when Night Moves and Main Street came out. 45 years ago...lol.
@@mrsteve3527Easy to do.
In 1976, I saw Seger opening for the Doobie Brothers about a month before LIVE BULLET came out. Wonderful 30 minute set, I wanted more. I picked up LIVE BULLET when I first saw it, and did the same with NIGHT MOVES later that year.
Probably my favorite Seger song…just love the vibe of this song
A&A, the definition of BANGERS are his "Katmandu" and "Rock And Roll Never Forgets" !!!!! Check them out!!
All Chuck’s children are out there playing his licks✌🏻🤟🏻🤘🏻
There are no bad Bob Seger songs. Rock and Roll Never Forgets is another great tune.
Rock n roll never forgets
I think you would be pleasantly suprised by the title cut from '85's "Like A Rock". Not as laid back as this, it has great slide guitar and lots of sauce!!
Always listened to Bob I was in high school from 68-72 lots and lots of great music back then and before. Just great great music
I've heard it a million times and I'll be very happy to hear it another million. I can't recall the other Bob tunes you've done but, if you want more rockin', try Her Strut, Come to Poppa or Feel Like a Number.
"Feel Like A Number," for sure. Bob knows how to lay down a groove that just pulls you into a song. Pretty soon you're saying, "Oh, so this is where we're going . . . . Okay . . . .Nice."
Joe, we will probably have to explain to the youngsters what "Ma Bell" means! LOL
Roll us away with some more Uncle Bob
With a voice like his, it's impossible to imagine him doing anything else. He was born to sing and he blessed us with countless memories
So smooth. This is soundtrack of 100 million of us. Our youth
I can still remember Bob playing this at his show in '83 - the crowd was lit and the Silver Bullet Band was great! The same as the album but better cuz it was live!
You guys also need to remember, just as a frame of reference, that "country music", at the time this song came-out, did NOT sound like this....Great reaction!! HUGS!❤
Bob and his band of musicians put on one helluva show.
"Roll Me Away" would be a great choice for the next song. Don't let the 80's scare you. I is a banger of a song.
Did somebody say, "Roll Me Away"? Yeah, l thought so, too.
Summer 1977. This was my..3rd Grade show n tell Record ⏺..love it
Classics stuff!! This played so often on the radio back in the day we all knew the words!! Great memories!!😆
awesome song. 66 years for me. love all the music from this time
Yes roll me away.
This is a gem! Talk about painting a picture and putting the listener right there on Main Street!
Great song , Bob Seger is one of the best , still going strong .
Bob Seger is a retired American singer, songwriter, and musician. He's 76 and pretty much said enough is enough. But we've heard that from other bands/singers and then again money talks sometimes.
Recorded at Muscle Shoals. The Swampers and Pete Carr backing him up.
Simply sublime music.
Yes, Roll Me Away is an excellent choice for next. Also, We've Got Tonight would be another good one to react to.
I used to fantasize about being the woman on the back of his bike in "Roll Me Away!" Bob sure can create a visually emotional recollection of my youth.
Segs for the win! I always loved that simple guitar tone, as well as the story. Great reaction!
Yessssss! My fave Bob Seger song, especially since it takes place in my beautiful hometown of Ann Arbor.
But recorded in my hometown in Alabama. 😂
My favorite Seger song! Can't count how many times I've listened to this song!! It always gives me chills!
My favorite Seger song. Brilliant!
My favorite Seger LP. Came out fall of 76. Beginning of my Junior yr in HS. Bob Seger music brings me back to a time I miss. Just like his lyrics describe.
"Sometimes even now
When I'm feelin' lonely and beat
I drift back in time and I find my feet".
This is my favorite Bob Seger song, I remember cruising and hearing this on the radio and cranking it up.
Might be the best Dive Bar song of Alltime! When this song came out there was NO country artist that sounded like this….
He is a writer for EVERY PERSON IN LIFE
Come on guys, this song has a really cool vibe that you can chill out to. It deserves better than a B+ in my book.
I don't care what other people say ,but for me no matter how many lists of 'greatest male singers ' there are , Mr Bob Seger will be one of the very first names on any compilation ...every time ! He is so good at telling stories with his songs and singing prowess ,it's as if I'm right there with him in the recording booth ..effortless might and power !
Most romantic song ever about a stripper and her stalker. My second favorite after Night Moves. Try "Rock and Roll Never Forgets'.
A friend of mine back in the day coaxed me into going seeing him live. The only reason I went was because they were front- row center seats. Bob and his band were amazing and really belted out their tunes. That turned me into a big Seger fan right then and there. And YES, you MUST hit Roll Me Away. It's a jammer and a half!
I remember telling you guys you would love Bob Seger before you knew him. His lyrics are amazing. and old school rock and roll.
Love how the final four ‘down on main street’ vocals fade into memory-like echoes.
This was recorded with the legendary "Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section", also known as "The Swampers". Unbelievable group of musicians with a ton of great sessions with great performers under their belt.
Been watching A&A for several years now. You two do the best music-reaction videos. You don't stop the song, talk excessively over it, and your enthusiasm really comes across as genuine. Plus, as musicians yourselves, your input is valid and knowledgeable.
I love Bob Seger. My favourite song by the Seeg 😊 is ‘Like A Rock’. A great song for the guys, but it’s still my all time favourite. The guitar solos are amazing, along with some sweet piano, and the lyrics…WOW!
I'm also 65. How beautiful was that voice/guitar duo? One of the best ever? Glad you did finally get to their best, most artistic song of all.. Magnificent. Mine was Genesee Street, not Main. She was there....Lisa was her name.
Bob Seger is one of the greatest singer/songwriters in history:
His best hits include:
"Night Moves", "Turn The Page", "Roll Me Away", "Fire Lake", "Hollywood Nights", "Still The Same", "You'll Accompany Me", "Beautiful Loser", "Come To Poppa", "Feel Like A Number", " The Fire Down Below", "Understanding", to name a few
My absolute favorite from him! ❤
Bob Segar told great stories and has a great sound. 👍👍👍
Saw Seger sing this on tour. Spectacular raspy voice and fantastic storytelling. Rock ‘n Roll…forever
@65 yrs old, I still love Seger ❤️
Bob is one of those artists I would not say I was a fan, I never had any of his albums, but listening to the radio I find I can sing along to all of his stuff that got airplay. Gives me Jr High vibes.
You can never go wrong with Bob Seger and his awesome band...I used to walk down mainstreet in my small town in Virginia ( Danville ) listening to this song all the time...Great memories.
My only complaint with this song is that it isn't longer. One of my Seger favorites.
Love me some Seger, especially ballads like this one. Thanks guys.
