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.

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.

I’m wearing my Bob Seger shirt today and then this pops up on my KZread. 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.

Bob seger is one of the greatest singers in my opinion.

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 .

Fun fact: The piano on this song is the same piano on which Billy Powell composed the "Free Bird" intro.

Considering he didn't think it would go very far, Bob certainly did sing the living shit out of it.

Bob Segar is a great artist and this song defines Rock and Roll.

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 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 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!!!

Thanks for naming the musicians that contributed to these songs. So many great players don't always get the recognition they deserve.

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.☺

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.

Bob Seger is fantastic. Gave me songs to listen to when disco came on.

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 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.

That song still gets non stop airplay today on classic rock radio stations.

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.

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.

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. :)

Caught a Bob Seger concert in 74 or maybe 75, was the best concert EVER and been to many concerts spanning 40 yrs.

i believe that it is true that they put bob's voice over the demo cuz , that's why we hear the piano intro twice . the first piano riff was meant to be just a place-holder , and was meant to be cut out so there would have been only one riff to start the song But cuz they simply used the demo we got the place holder and the intended riff ! giving us the iconic double piano riff we all know and love .

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!!

7 years old, sitting in front of my parents magnavox stereo, WKNR playing east side story by a very young Bob Seeger. Still play that 45 today.

Bob is genuine love his songs

The absolute boss of rock history discussing the boss of old-time rock and roll. NICE! ❤

Thanks for a great video! However, commerce, as an 80s teen boy, the most memorable scene in Risky Business HAS to be Rebecca. De Mornay "showing off" with Phil Collins's In Tthe Air Tonight, adding to the raging heat. 🔥😊

I brought The Bob Seger Collection with my first paycheque,someone stole the cassette out of my car but left the case about five years later.Tried to buy a new one about ten years ago and was told that it was never released in Australia.Still one of by favorite performers,just easy listening great performer who you can understand every word and is so relevent even today.

If you learned to count because Schoolhouse Rock showed how music could make education entertaining, you're gonna dig this channel. :) Time for Timer is also great.

I'm always a day behind for these, but truly appreciate the fact that you are a Rock and Roll historian-keeping the music of my youth alive! There aren't enough ways to say "Thank you"! JJ -South Alabama

Saw Bob several years ago in Raleigh, N.C. So many hits he's had.

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.

❤❤❤ Bob Seger❤❤❤ Old time Rock and Roll❤❤❤

You got it!

Today's music has just as much soul. You just don't just it on commercial radio.

Every time I went to a dance and when they played Old Time Rock and Roll everyone went to the dance floor. I loved the use of the song in Risky Business.

Hey man, is that Freedom Rock? Yeah, man. Well turn it up, man!

Remember the good old days? War, protests, going to jail...

Don Henley is in court right now suing for his portion of the song.

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.

Thanks for educating me again Prof ❤️👍

That song gets me on the Dancefloor every single time

An all-time favorite! This was one of the first songs I learned the name of when I was a little boy

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.

Saw Seger at Cobo Arena (Detroit) in June 1980 (I was 19). Saw him again at Allstate Arena (Chicago) in December 2006 (I was 45). His "Live Bullet" album is certainly in my Top 3 live albums. As I was reviewing his tour dates, esp. the mid-70's, it's clear that Mr. Robert Clark Seger paid his dues! He worked his you-know-what off.

How many concerts did I see at Cobo? (70s) Those were the days.

This song was one of the few rock songs (other than the Eagles) that was a favorite in the Country bars. Total party mood when it got played even in the C&W bars. That shows how great this song is!

Forgot about Long Live Rock The Who another song used for promos at our local stations. How could I forget that?

THanks!

That double piano intro, so classic. Funny that it's a simple mistake, but it works! The first time you hear the intro, you know the second is coming, and it's GOOD!

It’s amazing the magic that has been created in that tiny concrete block building in Muscle Shoals Alabama.
