Many many years ago, myself and several friend were playing pool in an all night bowling alley, and pool room. We were the only people there. Until around 1AM a large man came in and approached the man at the desk. After talking for a few minutes the bowling alley attendant came up to my friends and I and started to tell us we had to leave. At which time the big guy came over and said "Since we were already there we could stay, but not to let anyone else in"... naturally my friends and I thought the place was being robbed and we were all gonna die. Turned out Bob Seager and his band (Who had just finished a concert in town) had rented the entire bowling alley so they could kick back and relax... we ended up partying with them all night... nicest guy you'd ever want to meet.

For a long time I couldn't listen to Bob Seger songs because I had terrible associations with them. My mother was an abusive alcoholic and she always listened to Bob Seger when she drank. It was not a good time for me in the mid to late 1980s. But she passed away on 2012, and I have had some time to heal...and start listening to this music again.

There’s always been that thing in America, where if you’re a white guy and you’re singing or playing in a black idiom, it’s like: ‘Why is he doing that? I grew up listening to the greats of Motown.. There is no color to soul. Soul music comes from the heart".

back in 1976, after discharge from the Army, I rode my bicycle from Detroit to Ft Huachuca, Arizona, roundtrip, and being a Bob Seger fan since 1965, I had this tune in my mind for the 5,000 mile trip... When I went into restaurants and would feel these thoughts, I tried to stay clean and worked for a meal when I would do dishes or wash windows. I have personally known Bob all these years and he was always helpful when I wanted to cheer up a cancer patient, with maybe an autograph or a photo... to let them know he wanted to cheer them up. I wish him all the best, now that he has retired, and hope he and his family are doing well. God Bless Bob and Cheers, JP Bear, Plymouth Michigan.

I love your videos, don't mind when you stop to comment. But you seemed as entranced as we ALL were, back in the 70s, listening to his fabulous voice singing this soulful song. Rendered you speechless, so to speak, what a tribute....best wishes to you, thanks for letting us enjoy your honest reactions.

Bob Seger is a LEGEND. Honestly, you react to any of his songs and the impact is always soul deep.

His voice just sits in the pocket. Just perfect for what he's singing about.

Those of us who have been fans for decades love to see your honest reaction to this voice we love.

Bob Seger is one of my all time favorites This song is great I love all of his music

Seger has some of the best live performances just like this one.. One take.. No edits.

When you see Bob in concert, and that sax rips out your heart, the whole place quietly erupts.

This recording was from the Live Bullet album. Recorded in Detroit ♥️ I grew up with his music. First time I saw him was at a bar when I was 16. (they let all the young girls in 🙄). He’s our home grown gem! Just a great soul who always remembered his roots. He still lives there now 🎶

I saw him on his retirement tour a few years ago. Unbelievable but he sounds exactly the same as 30 years ago. About 15 band members on the stage at different times. Top notch professionals. Best concert ever.

You HAVE to do Bob Segar “ Roll Me Away “ my favorite of all of bob segar

Bob Seger has that timbre that makes you wonder why he didn't sing the blues as well. That is his catch..that blues voice in a rocker

He has, but they aren't well know like this one or many other great songs. Check out Tryin to live my life without you. That give an idea.

One of the songs on every truck drivers favorite list...relate so much

You can hear the loneliness in Bob’s voice. He carries that song so well. Love it.

How about Seger's Roll Me Away? I cry every time I hear it because it was played over the closing credits of the film "Mask".

HA! the music industry is FULL of idiot executives.

Michael McDonald’s long lost cousin! LOL! You kill me! Bob Seger is a fabulous singer, songwriter and musician. He is still also gorgeous.

R.I.P. Alto Reed, saxophone and friend for Bob for over 20 years. The songs Bob Seger has written {and performed} could stand on their own as poetry. His unique choice of words or phrases always say exactly what he wants the song to say.

So happy to see you're listening to, Detroit's own, Bob Seger! Iconic, legendary, and one of our own! ♥ His expression in this song is melancholy conveying the loneliness of being on the road! ♥ This tune is great! Thank you, so much, for highlighting so much of Detroit's music! From Motown, to ALL of Michigan talent! ♥ Once again, Thank You!

True story: when I was in college, a girl who lived in my dorm was dating Bob's guitarist. Most folk didn't know anyone in the band other than Bob Seger and one day he came to pick her up wearing a jacket that read "BOB SEGER AND THE SILVER BULLET BAND GUITARIST" on the back. I thought to myself you know, without that jacket, I'd never pick him out of a crowd. ;)

Love Bob Seger. Lots of soul in his voice. One of the artists that I regret not getting to see in concert.

Bob Seger - the man, the myth, the Detroit legend. Him & his band have a ton of classic songs.

So glad you found Bob Segar. “Hollywood Nights” and “Mainstreet” are also a must.

Bob Seger, “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man”, “Against the Wind”, “If I Were A Carpenter”

This song reminds me of my high school boyfriend, he left NY for Cali when I broke up with him because I was just too young to stay pinned down. I never saw him again. It turns out he was the best boyfriend I ever had. You live and learn that hindsight really is the clearest view.

Bob Seger wrote, sang, and performed live so many great songs. The sax part by Chris “Alto” Reed pierces you.

Jamel_AKA_Jamal. How about mainstreet next? Pronounced “See-gur” You could spend several days covering Bob Seger songs. I’m 55 and have seen many concerts over the years but his is #1 on my list of all time! Thanks for the reaction!

Bob, Mr. "story teller"... Nothing quite like him and we are proud of him here in Michigan...

Gives me the chills. I met my husband when he was on the road with the band, our son followed in his footsteps. Thanks for doing this.

Real musicians, real singer, no computers, no autotune just pure talent

A song by him I know for sure you'll recognize - Old Time Rock & Roll. Also, It is worth checking out the Metallica version of Turn the Page.

This is live people.... LIVE ! 😎🎙 5:44 One of our greatest songwriters, singers, performers, artists & yes story teller ✌😎 Mr. Bob Seger

Alright here’s what I like about you AKA, everyone who feels it, feels it in the right spots, and you feel that shit...genuine my man.

When you’re done with all the great Seger suggestions you should try Jackson Browne “The Load Out / Stay” it has a similar feel to turn the page.

Bob Seger has a tremendous narrative gift; his songs tell stories that are true to the heart because we've all lived them. His voice is perfect for telling those stories. You feel that road-weariness from any road trip you've made.

Bob Seger is one of the most hardworking and most talented artists in Rock N Roll.
