Bob Seger is a national treasure . . . . there are many, many, many more songs from him to listen to. Night Moves, Main Street, Old Time Rock and Roll, the list goes on and on . . .
Nine tonight, her strut, Hollywood nights, still the same, ramblin gamblin man, we've got tonight, ROLL ME AWAY, I am a mega fan and I can't wait to see move reactions to pretty much any of his music.
It's just so hard to swallow that people don't know Bob Seger? It actually hurts my feelings 😢 cuz he was and still is one of the best musicians I've heard!!! He performed for decades! "AGAINST THE WIND" is one of my favorite songs ever!!!!!!❤
He is not talking about truck driving. He’s singing about being a rock star on his tour bus driving from show to show. It’s the emotional & social ups & downs of a rock musician’s life on the road.🎶
You're talking about strung out on the road or from the road long drive I like the idea to think he's a truck driver I thought he was a biker Not an outlaw biker motor biker with long hair!
Man suggest that you get Bob Seger Essentials and listen to his Greatest Hits But I think the guy who said he's in a tour bus touring from town to town and I was in Santa Maria and experienced the same thing bunch of redneck cowboys with their cowboy hats and cowboy boots looking at me with long hair and I felt like they were going to run me out in a rail and I went back in the road to film my way out of Santa Maria and a couple of hippies a guy had a girl and I said hey I'll keep on going to the next on-ramp they go no please please some guys came by in a car and threatened us Don't go away sure enough they showed up and they were going to beat us up I grabbed a couple of beer bottles broke them and they said hey we thought you were a peace love dove hippie I said I am but I don't put up with anybody's crap Who wants to hurt me or my hippie friends They got back in my car and said they were going to bring more people and a couple in a Carmen Ghia pulled off the road and came and gave us a ride and I asked why of all places did you stop to get off the freeway to get back on said because we a year ago came through this town hitchhike and got threatened and we thought somebody would just might be needing our help!
Funny thing I went back there like '08 9 years later and I saw the same guys in that restaurant with their cowboy hats and cowboy boots with long hair and beards I shook my head I didn't know whether to laugh or what But I ordered something to go I had a car and I just drove off in total disbelief and their attitudes were no different They just had long hair and pierced this time!
Bob Seger is my absolute favorite! He's the ultimate in rock poets! His music and lyrics are classic. This is a rabbit hole that is deep and there are no bad songs from ballads to pure Rock, he's amazing!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate Britt a lot. This is someone who is not from our generation who is digging into songs for the very first time. Let's give her some room! She controls the pause and comment in the songs, and at times has super insightful takes on what a song is all about.
Same here when I come across her in the suggested, and it's of interest to me. I lover her in the moment as she's listening reactions. I'm mid sixties and appreciate that she's finding the music we listened to when it was new or were already classics when we first heard them.
Absolutely! I grew up with my parents blaring classic rock like this, and folks today are giving me perspective on how amazing those artists were and yet it was just "normal" to me. The Eagles, Foreigner, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bob Seger, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty ... too many to mention but many are becoming lost gold, IMO. Lots of awesome country disappearing as well. Bob Seger though... holy smokes, many many crazy good songs! That band is a showing of true talent.
Today I still feel lucky to have grown up in the suburbs of Detroit and got to hear Seger and Motown everyday on the radio. Wouldn't change it for anything.
@@debradillard315I grew up in metro Detroit. It was wonderful how the radio stations played such a variety of music. I listened to CKLW & WKNR. I went to the Grande, Eastown, Palladium and more every weekend. I wish those times had never ended. 😊
Hi Britt, Being back in the "70's" and guys with long hair... would sometimes fool you into thinking is that a girl or a guy. Pretty common phrase at the time. Bob Seger a Detroit rocker had so many hits. He is still rocking the house to this day. Thanks for the reaction video
Seger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012. From the 1960s to the 1990s, he had 31 songs on the 100 Top Hits chart. He captured the youthful pursuit of meaning on the road. Enjoy
He is talking about being on the road as a musician. Bob Seger spent decades on the road performing. This is speaking from his soul. I was fortunate enough to see him many times including Detroit shows which were dang hard to get tickets for. In 2019 he did his last tour and I saw him in Shreveport Louisiana. Whole stadium goes pitch black and that sax riff at the beginning rings out over the crowd in the dark. CHILLS
I was at that concert in Shreveport! The only time I'd been fortunate enough to see him live (he's one of my favorite artists). When he sang "Roll Me Away" I just sat there crying in total awe that I was hearing my favorite song by him **live**!!
Oh ya, I am 63. I spent my high school years listening to Bob Seger. Lots more to hear if you like this one. Old stuff, new. Stuff. He is a forever artist.
The fact that this was a LIVE performance, and yet sounds more like it was a studio recording, just goes to prove how talented and amazing Bob Seger was as a singer, and a performer. Not to mention how good the Silver Bullet Band were when they were doing a show.
Bob Seger has his own throne in the Pantheon of Rock Gods, no question. He's an absolute genius and a brilliant storyteller. His best attribute, though, is his humility. His has never been too arrogant, too aloof, too into himself. He came from a struggling family and he never lost that perspective. To this day, he still helps people in his hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan.
This man is an institution. His music has lasted decades and his live shows were always incredible. It always seemed like every show you saw was the first one and I saw several!!
My brain went to that pair of songs as soon as she made that lil question/statement about ""FIRST PERSON"" living the life of a star on the road. JB's list of what entertainment was available on the buss was awesome!!
Somewhere on the album "Live Bullet" there is a 15 year old fan standing 3 rows back from the stage cheering his lungs out. Me, on September 5th, 1975 Cobo Hall in Detroit. Yes, they said that because of his long hair. Viet Nam hadn't been over long and "hippies" weren't looked upon favorably.
Love that you finally heard something from Bob. He's a legend with a long list if hits!! Keep going, you will be pleasantly surprised!!🙃"NIGHT MOVES" and "HER STRUT"... those 2 mega hits will show you another side of the iconic Bob Seger!! Peace and light...✌💞
Brit, you are of a different generation. Bob Seger is an institution an this is his greatest ballad. I had a brother who died in 2007 who said this was his best song ever. I can see why. Look him up on the internet and check his songs. You are in for a treat.
"Strung out from the road" refers the feeling you get when you ride for long time. The tiredness you feel day after day. Recorded live in the mid 70's.
Yeah man, that's it. Then add to that he's crossing Nebraska, when it is cold. And you can see way out to the horizon and the horizon is forever away, no matter where you look, nothing to see but road, dirt cross roads with a mailbox, harvested fields, and no houses - they are way on down those dirt roads past that distant horizon. And the sun is dim and cold and it all weighs down on you. And you ain't even the one driving, you're just one of the passengers and no one wants to talk because the words seem so small out there between the horizon and the horizon and the cold sun. How long you been driving? How far have you come? How long is left? Yeah, strung out from the road... who needs drugs to feel that? Might need some therapy after remembering it though....
Yes. It was people giving him a hard time because of his long hair - remember this was the early 1970s. Amazing song. Glad you appreciate it. One of the greatest songs of my generation.
“Is that a woman or a man? You always seem outnumbered and you don’t dare make a stand…” Seger had very long hair back in the 70s… This song was one of his Masterpieces…
Night Moves, Main Street, Against The Wind are great songs (ballads). When he wrote the he had VERY long hair. I grew up listening to him from in the 60s. When I need to mellow out I turn to his songs.
@ryanmacklin712 That's never gon̈na happen though. "Beautiful" people have always and will always have an "advantage". "Counter-Culture" looks will always have repercussions.
This was my younger brothers favorite song we had it playing in the funeral home for him . 62 years old is to young to die but he lived his life rest in peace Digger we will be together soon 🙏
Thank you for featuring this song which younger viewers will be unfamiliar with. It was beautifully composed and really holds up well even decades later.
Best concert I've been to in Portland OR. He did 5 encores and that was so generous of him and his band, when night was over to leave the stage and come back on audience chant of encore 5 freakn times. All the brass in the hands of those fine artists. Hands down the best live
I love watching people react to people to songs i remember growing up i was born in 72 but i remember here this on the radio as a kid don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but music in the 70s and 80s were the best love you Britt
If you could’ve witnessed Bob Seger and the silver bullet band live, you would think even today the best concert you ever been to live bullet is a classic listen to the entire album and see what you missed❤❤
Live Bullet is hands down one of the best albums ever recorded. Start to finish...fabulous. I wore out two 8 tracks of it, then went to cassette and had the album. It just never got old...still today one of my favorites.
This song was and still is an amazing take on what is like being a touring musician. When it came out it told a story that everyone could relate to thinking about that lifestyle. An epic tale and incredible song. Never get tired of that song and its deep meaning, thank you Bob Seger.
Bob began performing in the Detroit, Mi area in the 60's and was still performing last year. He's a legend in his own time. You need to delve into more Seger. Try sitting still to "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man".
My husband and I danced our first dance at our wedding to his song "Understanding". (Outside, barefoot in the forest preserve, music on mix tapes, playing on a boom box. Good times. Married 33 years now 💜)
For many years, Bob lived up here in N.Michigan. He is just a very private individual. So if you saw him out and about you, just say hi and not fan drool at him. Celebrities like our town and area because we treat them like anyone else, famous or not. Bob did sell his place up here a few years back.
The story is self evident. It will unfold as the song goes along. No need to interpret the lyrics so early in the song. Thank you for playing the wonderful Bob Seger. He is an awesome storyteller in his songs.
This song holds a special place in my heart, my mom and dad were small time musicians and toured around often playing in different bars around the state. This song was one of the ones they used to do. Rip mom and dad, i miss you more and more every day.
I lived in Detroit (Ann Arbor actually) for 10 years and got to see Bob Seger in concert around 1982 or 83. Start to finish great songs. In fact, I can't think of any of his songs that weren't great. He's the ultimate singer/songwriter, genuine, authentic, and lacking the celebrity BS that surrounds most rock singers today. His songs tell a story and it's always an interesting one. When I moved to LA I was disappointed that they didn't play his songs nearly as much as I was used to hearing in Detroit. But thanks to TH-cam you can find most of them and a new generation can enjoy them. So many great songs, but try listening to Roll Me Away or Hollywood Nights to get an idea of his range as a song writer.
Watching you yougins is funny, in the 60s and 70s, long hairs were not welcome in most places and would have to fight their way back the car or in his case, the bus. Strung out from the road.
The song is a tribute to "roadies" who do the really hard work on concert tours and don't get much credit for the tough work they do ! Here's to the roadies that make the concerts great !
Bob Seger is one of the greatest performers/songwriters ever. You must listen to his greatest hits album. Two of his best are Against the Wind and Night Moves. I am so glad you appreciated this performance. His live performances are fantastic.
Saw him on his last and final tour in 2019 and he was fabulous!! Did 3 encores and still sounded great. You could tell he still had a love for the music, his fans and performing. Gave props to so many artists from all genres that he respected. So, so thankful I went to see him
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band , the albums of my youth . Every time l hear these Segar tunes , man , it takes me back . His song Mainstreet was me circa 1980 . Those times are long gone along with so many people that made it so memorable.for me . Living on the streets with all the other lost souls , all of us just searching for a place to find love . Up on Main Street.
Each person can see some of their life in this song. I see so much of my life when I was in the Navy and people would sometimes judge us thinking we were just women trying to be men. Even the "amplifiers ringing in your head - " I was in ship and shore communications and spent a lot of mornings trying to get to sleep after a long night shift (including a different sort of amplifier) but I can't get the buzz and clatter of a complex work center out of my head.
To me he has the perfect sexy, soulful hard rock and roll voice! Love all his music from way back- the Bob Seger System ( Evil Edna is one of my favorites!) to his retirement. Got to see him back in th 80s. Man, I’m glad I was born in the 60s and grew up with all this great music!!
It was a great time to be alive. Seger is one of the best songwriters' there are. Yes, being a band member is exhausting though they work their magic when its 'showtime' (my husband is in a band 35+ yrs. now). Enjoying your reactions young lady, God bless!😊
Born in 63 growing up in the 70'S and 80'S as a teenager Bob Seger was one of the top performers on the charts . I got to grow up in a time music told a story and unmatched in today's music industry
Bob Seger, he’s one of the great American legends one of my favorites and I got a lot of his albums and he never put out one of them was something you could put on the record player and listen to it over and over and over a lot of wonderful music
Bob Seger is one of my favorite writers artists performers story teller…. Period. I heard him…. Then I never ever stopped. Wait until he takes you to the Hollywood hills. You’ll be ready. God he’s good
Yes, there are lots of songs about the troubles of the rock star lifestyle--"Doonesbury" even made a cartoon once about how their contracts require at least one "dues song" per album. For instance, just off the top of my head, Billy Joel, "The Entertainer," Billy Joel, "Piano Man," Simon & Garfunkel, "Homeward Bound," Carole King, "So Far Away," John Denver, "Leaving on a Jet Plane," John Lennon, "The Ballad of John and Yoko," and I'm sure many others
Congratiulations !! First reaction to Turn the Page where the reactor recognizes the whole story. And yes, he is refercing his time with very long hair. In the '70 when you came into a restaurant as a stranger the people look at you and wisper "Is that a woman or a man?" Tiny little detail that nobody ever got. You are very exact, I like that.
Lyrics for this song. It's also been covered by Metallica and worth the listen. This is from '72 also 'Bout bein' on the road It's called "Turn the Page", yeah One, two, three, and On a long and lonesome highway East of Omaha You can listen to the engine Moaning out its one-note song You can think about the woman Or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wanderin' The way they always do When you're riding sixteen hours And there's nothin' much to do And you don't feel much like riding You just wish the trip was through, mm Say, here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go Turn the page Well, you walk into a restaurant Strung out from the road And you feel the eyes upon you As you're shakin' off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother you But you just want to explode Most times you can't hear 'em talk Other times you can All the same old clichés "Is that a woman or a man?" And you always seem outnumbered You don't dare make a stand Here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go Turn the page Out there in the spotlight You're a million miles away Every ounce of energy You try to give away As the sweat pours out your body Like the music that you play Later in the evening As you lie awake in bed With the echoes from the amplifiers Ringin' in your head You smoke the day's last cigarette Remembering what she said Ah, here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go Turn the page Ah, here I am On the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I go Playin' star again There I go There I go Thank you
Main Street, Likea Rock, Old Time Rock and Roll, Night Moves... SO many great ones! I graduated in '80, and saw him live in about 2018. Sounded the same! Jackson Browne has a good one from his perspective. 'Stay'
it is good to hear someone's first time reactions to music I have loved. Music has been siloed for so long. It is trapped in time loops and the narrow subcultures that define tribal identities. I don't think musicians have rigid walls around their musical tastes but listeners and music sellers often do. Thank you for reminding me why I love these songs and artists.

I agree!
Yep. We're old...lol. It does pain me that the younger kids don't know so much amazing music from back then, but these reaction videos are helping
I think in many black community the radio stations didn’t really play the song, so how would they know?
Lot of people don't know he had a handshake deal with the guys in muscle shoals on his first 7 albums that he still honored today
How can you bea
He is not talking about truck driving. He’s singing about being a rock star on his tour bus driving from show to show. It’s the emotional & social ups & downs of a rock musician’s life on the road.🎶
You're right, but as a truck driver I can tell you that any long haul driver can relate to this song even though it's not specifically about trucking.
Watch it for more than 2 seconds and you’ll realize she came to that pretty quick
You're talking about strung out on the road or from the road long drive I like the idea to think he's a truck driver I thought he was a biker Not an outlaw biker motor biker with long hair!

Bob Seger is my absolute favorite! He's the ultimate in rock poets! His music and lyrics are classic. This is a rabbit hole that is deep and there are no bad songs from ballads to pure Rock, he's amazing!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
True, to many great songs to list. One of the most prolific song writers ever
You definitely need to be stoned to follow the journey fully .
Girl ! If ya just listen to it for little bit longer the whole song unfolds for you.
Mr Seger is the real deal , huge catalog of really good music
Agreed. An interruption every 15 seconds was unnecessary.
They have to get their $$$, the longer the video.
i agree. less talk more listen.
You talk way too much dam!
I find that a lot. Talk before the video is done. Play the video first, then comment about it, please

How can you listen to a song and interrupt it so often. I kills the flow of the song and this is one of those songs.
He started singing in the 60's. Long hair was frowned on. He's got the best hair in rock & roll. Your listening to a rock anthem right now
Bob came up in Detroit in the 60s alongside Motown. He’s the perfect mix of rock and soul. Tons of amazing songs
Today I still feel lucky to have grown up in the suburbs of Detroit and got to hear Seger and Motown everyday on the radio. Wouldn't change it for anything.

Why dont you listen to the song Jesus listen your way off he's on a Harley riding
He's from Detroit, and that's where he gets that soulful sound
He’s from Ann Arbor about 40 miles west of Detroit, but yeah, same area of southeast Michigan. We love him around here. And many others as well.
I still get the chills when I hear this song. 50 years later..... we were so blessed to grow up with this music. Bob, you are a national treasure.
One of my favorite travel songs. Back when I was younger I literally wore out the cassette tapes of his music.
One of the greatest songs ever!,,
If you heard a chevy commercial in the90's, you now Bob Seger. LIKE A ROCK
Girl, get his Greatest Hits and sit back and listen ! You will be taken on a wild emotional ride ! Enjoy !
Back in the 60s, men wearing long-hair was heavily looked down upon. It wasn't until the late 70s, early 80s that it started being widely accepted.
Please let him sing a full verse before you stop to try and figure out what he’s talking about 😊
It’s called a reaction video? 😂❤

It may help if you listen to the song first, then ask questions. Only then, you may have not as many questions. Seger is truly amazing.
One of the greatest songs ever written by one of the greatest performers of all time.
Live Bullet was one of the best live recordings of the 70's
Totally agree!!!!
I've been listening to Bob Seger for 50 years.
Me too
Bob Sever is a great singer songwriter and story teller. Many great songs. You may have heard his song Old time rock and roll.
"Strung out from the road" refers the feeling you get when you ride for long time. The tiredness you feel day after day. Recorded live in the mid 70's.
Yeah man, that's it. Then add to that he's crossing Nebraska, when it is cold.

@@1smallstep You should be writing songs...
Yes. It was people giving him a hard time because of his long hair - remember this was the early 1970s. Amazing song. Glad you appreciate it. One of the greatest songs of my generation.
Like a Rock, Night Moves, Hollywood Nights and so many more great hits........
Absolutely on of my favorite songs ever. A masterpiece about touring, isolation, and the pressure of being on the road as a performer.
“Is that a woman or a man?
You always seem outnumbered and you don’t dare make a stand…”
Seger had very long hair back in the 70s…
This song was one of his Masterpieces…
Night Moves, Main Street, Against The Wind are great songs (ballads).
When he wrote the he had VERY long hair. I grew up listening to him from in the 60s.
When I need to mellow out I turn to his songs.
"Long haired hippies need not apply"....Sign, sign, everywhere a sign....Yes. Men with long hair were DEFINATELY judged/questioned....
We still are...just like tattoos...it's sad when someone is judged based off of looks...if we set looks aside we could all get along

So why judge each other...shouldn't we love each other despite out looks??
5 man electric band!
this song is from 1972. still amazing.
This was my younger brothers favorite song we had it playing in the funeral home for him . 62 years old is to young to die but he lived his life rest in peace Digger we will be together soon 🙏
Thank you for featuring this song which younger viewers will be unfamiliar with. It was beautifully composed and really holds up well even decades later.
Bob Seger Rock and Roll King!!! Let him sing
Best concert I've been to in Portland OR. He did 5 encores and that was so generous of him and his band, when night was over to leave the stage and come back on audience chant of encore 5 freakn times. All the brass in the hands of those fine artists. Hands down the best live
Bob Seger is awesome
Against The Wind
Get Out Of Denver
Roll Me Away
Night Moves
Mainstreet
The Famous Final Scene
Shame On The Moon
Music from my youth also.56 now. Where'd the time go??? The best of days. How badly I miss em.
I grew up watching Bob Seger and seen him in concert 5-6 times. I love the guy. Main Street is one of my favourites.
*saw him
Bob is his own category
I love watching people react to people to songs i remember growing up i was born in 72 but i remember here this on the radio as a kid don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but music in the 70s and 80s were the best love you Britt
If you could’ve witnessed Bob Seger and the silver bullet band live, you would think even today the best concert you ever been to live bullet is a classic listen to the entire album and see what you missed❤❤
Live Bullet is hands down one of the best albums ever recorded. Start to finish...fabulous. I wore out two 8 tracks of it, then went to cassette and had the album. It just never got old...still today one of my favorites.
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band…one of the deepest rabbit holes! Great music that I came of age to. 💗
This song was and still is an amazing take on what is like being a touring musician. When it came out it told a story that everyone could relate to thinking about that lifestyle. An epic tale and incredible song. Never get tired of that song and its deep meaning, thank you Bob Seger.
Bob is definitely in the Master Class of rock artists.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Bob began performing in the Detroit, Mi area in the 60's and was still performing last year. He's a legend in his own time. You need to delve into more Seger. Try sitting still to "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man".
My husband and I danced our first dance at our wedding to his song "Understanding". (Outside, barefoot in the forest preserve, music on mix tapes, playing on a boom box. Good times. Married 33 years now 💜)
For many years, Bob lived up here in N.Michigan. He is just a very private individual. So if you saw him out and about you, just say hi and not fan drool at him. Celebrities like our town and area because we treat them like anyone else, famous or not. Bob did sell his place up here a few years back.
The story is self evident. It will unfold as the song goes along. No need to interpret the lyrics so early in the song. Thank you for playing the wonderful Bob Seger. He is an awesome storyteller in his songs.
This song holds a special place in my heart, my mom and dad were small time musicians and toured around often playing in different bars around the state. This song was one of the ones they used to do. Rip mom and dad, i miss you more and more every day.
I wasn't a musician, but but I worked in an industry that traveled the country, and I thought of this as an anthem of my life.
I love Bob soo much it's ridiculous.. you should really listen to anything from the "Live Bullet" album... it's about the best live album ever made...
I lived in Detroit (Ann Arbor actually) for 10 years and got to see Bob Seger in concert around 1982 or 83. Start to finish great songs. In fact, I can't think of any of his songs that weren't great. He's the ultimate singer/songwriter, genuine, authentic, and lacking the celebrity BS that surrounds most rock singers today. His songs tell a story and it's always an interesting one. When I moved to LA I was disappointed that they didn't play his songs nearly as much as I was used to hearing in Detroit. But thanks to TH-cam you can find most of them and a new generation can enjoy them. So many great songs, but try listening to Roll Me Away or Hollywood Nights to get an idea of his range as a song writer.
“Strung out from the road” is referencing just how drained and “strung out” you can feel after being on the road so long.
For a humorous song from the artist's point of view try Mac Davis " It's Hard to be Humble."
It's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way!!!
Bob was a Legend, he done about everything he ever set out to do, very fine guy.
The song is about him and the band on their Tour Bus
Strung out from the road means he has been on the road for months.
Watching you yougins is funny, in the 60s and 70s, long hairs were not welcome in most places and would have to fight their way back the car or in his case, the bus. Strung out from the road.
Britt! Girl!! You’ve never heard of Bob Seeger before?? Damn! Turn in your headphones right now! & go to your room without dinner!
The song is a tribute to "roadies" who do the really hard work on concert tours and don't get much credit for the tough work they do !
Here's to the roadies that make the concerts great !
He says here I am, up on the stage. Its about him
Your thinking of the Jackson Browne song The Load Out
Bob is a legend
Bob Seger is one of the greatest performers/songwriters ever. You must listen to his greatest hits album. Two of his best are Against the Wind and Night Moves. I am so glad you appreciated this performance. His live performances are fantastic.
Bob Seger NIGHT MOVES
The song writing is great. Seger’s timbre and range are great
Saw him on his last and final tour in 2019 and he was fabulous!! Did 3 encores and still sounded great. You could tell he still had a love for the music, his fans and performing. Gave props to so many artists from all genres that he respected. So, so thankful I went to see him
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band , the albums of my youth . Every time l hear these Segar tunes , man , it takes me back . His song Mainstreet was me circa 1980 . Those times are long gone along with so many people that made it so memorable.for me . Living on the streets with all the other lost souls , all of us just searching for a place to find love . Up on Main Street.
Each person can see some of their life in this song. I see so much of my life when I was in the Navy and people would sometimes judge us thinking we were just women trying to be men. Even the "amplifiers ringing in your head - " I was in ship and shore communications and spent a lot of mornings trying to get to sleep after a long night shift (including a different sort of amplifier) but I can't get the buzz and clatter of a complex work center out of my head.
To me he has the perfect sexy, soulful hard rock and roll voice! Love all his music from way back- the Bob Seger System ( Evil Edna is one of my favorites!) to his retirement. Got to see him back in th 80s. Man, I’m glad I was born in the 60s and grew up with all this great music!!
It was a great time to be alive.
Seger is one of the best songwriters' there are. Yes, being a band member is exhausting though they work their magic when its 'showtime' (my husband is in a band 35+ yrs. now).
Enjoying your reactions young lady, God bless!😊
Born in 63 growing up in the 70'S and 80'S as a teenager Bob Seger was one of the top performers on the charts . I got to grow up in a time music told a story and unmatched in today's music industry
Bob Seger, he’s one of the great American legends one of my favorites and I got a lot of his albums and he never put out one of them was something you could put on the record player and listen to it over and over and over a lot of wonderful music
Have heard this song at least hundreds of times and is one of my top 5 ...
Thank you ...
i enjoyed your reaction ...
I was privileged to watch Bob seger in concert twice in the late seventies and once in the early eighties and it was incredible
One of my all time favourite songs. Listened to it a lot whilst travelling around Europe back in the 80s.
I love TRAVELIN’ MAN!! Bob is the best. I was born in the 60s he’s just part of my life.
Thanx Britt for your study on this 🙏❤️
Bob Seger is one of my favorite writers artists performers story teller…. Period. I heard him…. Then I never ever stopped. Wait until he takes you to the Hollywood hills. You’ll be ready. God he’s good
Yes, there are lots of songs about the troubles of the rock star lifestyle--"Doonesbury" even made a cartoon once about how their contracts require at least one "dues song" per album. For instance, just off the top of my head, Billy Joel, "The Entertainer," Billy Joel, "Piano Man," Simon & Garfunkel, "Homeward Bound," Carole King, "So Far Away," John Denver, "Leaving on a Jet Plane," John Lennon, "The Ballad of John and Yoko," and I'm sure many others
Bob S. Is my an neighbors favorite music. We go into middle of 50 acres an turn up the sound.
One of the few songs I heard in my childhood {70's and early 80's) that stuck with me all these years.
Bod Seger is a Legend. Everything he does turns to gold. LOTS of Hits!
I haven't heard this song in many years and forgot how pasionste he was. Thanks for the gift of memory and enjoyment. :d
Congratiulations !! First reaction to Turn the Page where the reactor recognizes the whole story. And yes, he is refercing his time with very long hair. In the '70 when you came into a restaurant as a stranger the people look at you and wisper "Is that a woman or a man?" Tiny little detail that nobody ever got. You are very exact, I like that.
Lyrics for this song. It's also been covered by Metallica and worth the listen.
This is from '72 also
'Bout bein' on the road
It's called "Turn the Page", yeah
One, two, three, and
On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moaning out its one-note song
You can think about the woman
Or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wanderin'
The way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like riding
You just wish the trip was through, mm
Say, here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
Well, you walk into a restaurant
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk
Other times you can
All the same old clichés
"Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered
You don't dare make a stand
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
Out there in the spotlight
You're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
You try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play
Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Remembering what she said
Ah, here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
Ah, here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
There I go
Thank you
Main Street, Likea Rock, Old Time Rock and Roll, Night Moves... SO many great ones! I graduated in '80, and saw him live in about 2018. Sounded the same!
Jackson Browne has a good one from his perspective. 'Stay'
This guy is a punch in the gut. Love his songs. They just feel like he is singing his memories straight from his heart to mine.
Been listening to Bob seiger since I was a little kid he's freaking awesome
Bob Seger is a gem. I grew up with my parents listening to him.
Bob seater and the silver bullet band have been around since the 70’s. Very popular band. Great music!
Bob is a rock legend and a truly nice man, I crewed on his racing sailboat here in Michigan, bob is from ann arbor...home of the wolverines,
Bob Seger active from 1961 to 2019.
Saying that one has never heard of him is like saying one has never seen the sun rise
it is good to hear someone's first time reactions to music I have loved. Music has been siloed for so long. It is trapped in time loops and the narrow subcultures that define tribal identities. I don't think musicians have rigid walls around their musical tastes but listeners and music sellers often do. Thank you for reminding me why I love these songs and artists.
The echos of the amplifiers ringing in your head. It literally rings and it's quite loud. Makes it tough to fall asleep.
Journey: "Faithfully" is also about performers on the road, Jackson Brown: "The Load Out/Stay"
