My opinion is that the studio version is the clearest vision of the artist's intent. The live performances build off of that, if you want to do them after. Sometimes they showcase the talent of the musicians that doesn't come through the studio polish, and there's an undeniable energy (most of the time.) Usually they are horribly mixed, and often lackluster because the band is exhausted from touring. Sometimes the studio version is the producer's vision, and not the artist's. It all kind of depends, but for me, the studio is the safer bet.

Those of us born in the early 60's have enjoyed the best music ever. Seger is one of the best!

I have very fond memories from late 1976, of being 17, sitting in my 1973 Z-28 Camero, in the mall parking lot, late one winter night, beautiful girl sitting in my lap, the windows all fogged up, and Bob Seager and Night Moves blaring through the Tenna Mind Blower speakers.

Don't forget.....Katmandu......it rocks.

Stop watching the video and just listen to the lyrics. You completely missed the genius of this song. It's starts in fondly recounting his youth (summer), then at the break, he awakes to the sound of thunder and finds himself realizing he's in the autumn of his life and all the excitement of his youthful escapades are but memories. The meaning of "night moves" changes, as he awakes from a dream to find himself "humming a song from 1962 - ain't it funny how the night moves..." I grew up hearing this song, probably a few hundred times, never paying attention much to the lyrics or what is was about. Then a couple of years ago, on one of these reaction videos, I really listened for the first time, now at 54. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I suppose someone your age can't quite know what it's like to look back on your life with that bittersweet feeling of knowing there more behind you than in front. And the thing is, most of Seger's songs are like this. He has this uncanny ability to capture nostalgia in song. Somehow, in his twenties and thirties he was able to tap into some really deep, profound ideas about life. Try "Like a Rock" or "Against the Wind' next.

Bob Seger is one of the absolute best artists to have ever lived! His voice has been one of my favorites since I was just a kid. To feel like a teenager again....

Bob is one of the best ever

Bob is 1 of a kind!

One of the very best .. and sauciest songs ever!

This song was a huge hit on the radio and launched Bob Seger's career to the top of the rock & roll stars.

This is the first Bob Seger song I ever heard. It was 1976 and I lived in a college dorm. I've been listening ever since.

I do adore this song. He says 'i used no shields' ... rubbers. This song as with so much of Bob's writing, is down and dirty, gritty and real..

Bob Seger songs are the soundtrack to my life...........

The deeper meaning is the summer being your youth and "with autumn closing in" meaning youre now older and looking back. Im 67 and the music was great back then. Love your show❤

Bob is a legand. "Hollywood Nights" is my favorite song. ❤❤❤

I went to one of Bob's very last concerts with my late wife and its a memory ill never forget!

Bob Seger has so many great story songs

Bob Seger is my very favorite!!! And as said above it's a deep deep rabbit hole! He's in my opinion one of the best Rock poets ever! And Mercy, that growly voice of his! Yum!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Straight up love Bob Seger!! Great Content!

Yep, this song is about getting laid and learning all the night moves. The song then switches to him as an older man thinking back to that time wistfully, cos the fact he's aging smacked him in the face when the lightning struck. Back then it was the height of summer. Like you said, he was young and free. Now the autumn of his life is closing in. "Ain't it funny how the night moves."

My mom's favorite singer. Fire Lake , against the wind, roll me away...etc...etc...

"In the Summertime" means just that . Bob grew up in Michigan and after every winter ends, "Summertime" is amazing! He is literally singing about Michigan's weather.

One of the greatest coming of age songs by one of the greatest American singer songwriters. When the song slows down near the end, I think he is talking about aging, particularly "with Autumn closing in." Thanks for this video.

Bob Seger is one of the best ever. Huge catalog of great music. And it's pronounced "See gur".

This song took form by accident, He and the band were in a recording session and they pretty much called it a night and they were hanging around the studio, Bob was at the piano playing with some lyrics and it turned into a jam session and the producer just hit the record switch for Kicks Shits & Giggles and true to form came "Night Moves"

Summer was great in 1970 for me. 1967 GTO - White with Black vinyl top - 400CID engine, Hurst Dual gate and 3.90 gears. Cruising in So.Cal every night and drive-in movies were the thing. Get your girl after work, and go sit and make out. Who cared about what movie was playing. In my area there were 7 drive-ins within 6 miles of each other. (Vermont, San Pedro, Torrance, Twin View, Long Beach, Harbor Drive-in and Roadium) Good times. As another has said - I'm in my winter years now (73).

45 years seems so short to me now that I'm 73 and this song never gets old to me.

I am from Detroit and he is a real Icon here for sure. He also made a song for Eddie Murphy's movie "Beverly Hills Cop" called " Shake Down". The list of his songs is endless

There was no seventies, without Bob Seger

"With Autum closing in" a metaphor about the loss of our youth. So poingant--even more so each year.

Every song is Fantastic 👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️👏✌️🍻🤠❤️

This is indeed a wonderful song from so many angles, but I always considered it to take a back seat to "Against The Wind". That one is pure poetry.

This video was from 1994 but the song is from 1976. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band had so many hits back in the 70's and the 80's.

Every night was a good night back then.

Just a great voice. So many great songs in his catalog.

The meaning of night moves changes from teenage sex to aging and looking back. It's a beautiful transition from a great artist.

“Shame on the moon” “come to poppa” ❤😎

Bob Seeger can sing anything. He has so many songs that are his alone, but then he can turn in and sing something like The Little Drummer Boy. I tell you true, his rendition of the Little Drummer Boy will give you goose bumps. Bob has a timeless voice and his music will live on long after we are all gone.

Yay! So happy to see you listen to more Bob Seger! He is truly an American treasure! This is one of my favorites along with "Hollywood Nights" and "Against the Wind" - also we can hear him ... little one has a healthy set of lungs. I am not unhappy about hearing him, congrats and I hope you're getting enough sleep, lol.

That version is a radio edit. They cut the end off and it’s amazing. Full of soul at the end.

What I love about Bob's songs, is the stories he tells are so vivid, my mind takes me to specific times and places. The themes are common to everyone- and as you get older, and live more, they take on even more meaning. Half the time, it's like he reached into MY memory banks and is singing about MY life!! If you haven't yet, you need to check out "The Fire Inside" honestly, a truer assessment I've never heard... Bob GETS it. Plus, that voice. Plus that music! They were phenominal live!

I have a friend that graduated from the same highschool that Bob Seger went to. When I got out of the Navy I moved to Ann Arbor. So I was driving around past maybe the same corn fields he wrote about.

The video features "Joey" from Friends, "Daphne" from Melrose Place & a few other 1990s TV actors

One of the best!!! His music doesn’t age at all! ♥️

"Felt the lightning... waiting on the thunder... ... ... ... "I woke last night to the sound of thunder!" One of the great transitions in Rock & Roll. Seger has said that this song is about a fling he had as an 18-year-old with a woman a few years older than he was. She was married to a soldier who was stationed overseas at the time. Contrary to the words in the song, he was in love with her (or at least highly infatuated), but at the end of the summer she broke it off when her husband returned. Waking up to the thunder is the adult man remembering what he lost way back then. By far my favorite Seger song!

Song is from 1976. Video was made in the 1990s. One of the greatest songs ever. Pulls at those emotional heart strings every time.

One of my all time favorite songs. It regularly gets stuck in my head for days, especially the slow-down transition towards the end. Another great Bob Seger song is "We've Got Tonight"

Seger has the perfect Rock & Roll voice!

Bob has a way of talking about risqué things in ways so soulful they don’t sound dirty. You MUST check out: We’ve Got Tonight (the most romantic song ever written… about a one night stand 😂) Mainstreet (about his love for a stripper) Like a Rock (you’ll recognize from old Chevy commercials) Against the Wind (persevering through life’s struggles) Old Time Rock and Roll (about old time rock and roll 😂) Enjoy!

i was a teen when this came out with my night moves ---- now my kids have grown and moved out and it is back to night moves
