actually he didn't make it big outside of Michigan until Live Bullet came out in 76, he still lived on Rattalee Lake rd in Clarkston until about 1980, even cutting his own grass on a riding lawn mower.

I remember Bob used to sing this song all the time live on The Rocking Robin Seymour Show in Detroit that broadcast live from the Roostertail. He was giving it up too when he sang this song, just like in the recording. It was a joy to watch him perform.

Robin Seymour !!!!!! For us Baby Boomer Detroit-area lads and lasses,"Club 1270,"" Swinging' Time" and Robin's DJ stints on WKMH and Keener 13,WKNR were lasting memories,as is Boppin' Bobby Seger,starting in the mid-60-'s until now,five days from 2024.RIP,Robin,and Bob,you da man !!!!!!!

I lived in Detroit in the '60s and bought this single. Moved to Chicago suburbs in 1969 and gave this record to our high school radio station to play as Bob Seger and the Last Heard were not known there. Needless to say, turned a bunch of high schoolers on to what was to come.

I had this 45. We’d play it at pizza parties in 4th grade. Edwin Starr’s War was another great song. Of course I’m from Detroit.

Small correction: Notre Dame High School was located in Harper Woods on Kelly Road, not in Eastpoint (then known as East Detroit). The house that I grew up in adjoined the Notre Dame football field located behind the high school. To get to the N.D. dance all I had to do was hop the fence then cut through the football field to get there. Went there many times with friends from my high school (Harper Woods). I have many good memories of the place. Notre Dame H.S. was closed down in 2005.

Seger wasn't playing high schools in 75 76...his LIVE BULLET Lp came out in 75/76. You have your years confused.

Listening to this, you can see how he evolved. His early songs were done as a young man with a crazy life and his other songs were written from the worldview of a veteran tourer, successful guy who still didn't get the money the Studios owned him in the day. Hollywood Nights was written because visiting his great Michigan pal Glenn Frey when the Eagles were raking in money after Hotel California and he was still struggling after Night Moves. Don Felder testifies to this day he almost crashed his car at 100 mph listening to "Hollywood Nights." Every musician, actor/actress or wannabe in Los Angeles knew about that world in 1978. Everyone, everything ... was for sale.

Used to love this song back in mid to late 60s in high school.

Don’t forget Ann Arbor. Main St., the Scene bar with the lighted dance floor!

Our BEST Hard R&R bands in The '60s were promoted for *one* (exactly ONE) single _Nationwide._ *-* *'Ramblin' Gamblin' Man'* *-* *'Journey To The Center Of The Mind'* *-* *'Kick Out The Jams'* *-* *'House Of The Rising Sun'* (& many others) Then, that would be *IT!* Record _honchos_ wouldn't come back for more. (!?!) Some did better. (Mitch Ryder) Some did worse. (SRC) (I won't include The Stooges here. Cuz I don't think they were ever going for _'Top-Of-The-Pops'_ anyway) Hey, we sure loved those bands here! They had 'some' followers elsewhere. e.g. In the Army; I met ppl from Florida who were TOTAL Detroit R&R fans. (other places too) What is my point? I'll bet you could find *dozens* (& dozens) of songs from that era that would've charted if they had a chance! *ROX ON!* - Dave B.

heavier freakbeat , all along the way !!!

He also mentions Steve Winwood while throwing down some bravado. S.R.C is the Scot Richard Case Band a really good Detroit band back in the 1960's to the early 70's.

Thanks! Must check: As I recall, only one part of this is on the Box Set, "The Cameo / Parkway Labels" retrospective. Only 4 discs, CD, pretty packed. IF it only includes Part 1, or Part 2, it should have had the entire recording. Cut something not as important! So, you can see, these labels had a lot of variety! Thanks for explaining the 'backing track' aspect. Sometimes. labels 'cheap out,' & limit studio time. If you have a lot of singles, & play both sides, this sort of thing is rather common, one way or another. Side Two, may be just the instrumental. (Rare occurrence, but the instrumental, "The Horse," by Cliff Nobles, was 'just' a backing track, and became a big hit, while the overlaid version with vocal, went nowheresville.) One more: The Isley Brothers, "Twist & Shout," Wand / Scepter, the single on the B side, has, I think, "Spanish Twist," which is just the instrumental part of the hit, with a 'bargain basement' guitar overlay. If you listen carefully, you may hear some vocal 'bleed through,' baffles in the studio. If you look up the history of this track, as I recall, it was a long, evening session. Tensions began to get high, anger. The singers left, in a huff (...mobile!). Did not stick around to wax a B side. (Although other recordings from this period are available - this is, of course, B 4, "This Old Heart Of Mine." Motown.
