My Granddaughter just asked to borrow my Bob Seger CDs. I told her I have to get some of them back from my Dad and Son. Four generations, all rocking out to the same tunes. :)
This song makes me so happy that i grew up in Michigan listening to Detroit and Flint radio. We got Bob in his best years, long before anyone else knew about him❤
In Detroit, just tune to 580am. CKLW am800's music was shifted to it's sister station CKWW. I've heard this song on there along with other songs like 'Persecution Smith'. Their playlist is 6000+ songs and spans from the mid 50's to around '80.
At the Michigan palace in 1975 Freddy king open for Bob Seger. Bob Seger never let his audience down. If it was a couple of rows people left clapping he would do another encore. Really great images thank you from class of 76.
Bob rocked Michigan & the country . I went to his concert in 1973 in Davisburg , atSpringfield Oaks , the entire concert was outside. Tents everywhere , streakers were just running around in their baseball caps & tennies . My ticket cost 3.50 at Grinnels at the Pontiac Mall , I still have it . Great jams for sure , let the good times roll.
Streaker? Hopefully it was a hot chick not some big fat ass dude with a huge Schwarzenegger bobbing north, South East and West betwixt his legs as he waddled about! Not everything was great about the 70s for sure
Wow, I worked at the Marianne shop at the Pontiac Mall, right down from Grinnels. Used to buy my albums there. (back in 72) Bunch of us went to COBO for the Live Bullet Album. I remember playing Back in 72 as loud as my AM radio would go. Then I finially saved up enough money to buy an FM converter.
That the Back in '72 album hasn't been released in remastered, pristine audio IS, and continues to be, A CRIME!!! Bob, you listening? I'm already almost 57 yrs-old and don't want to die without hearing the dang album the way it should be. Whatever qualms, beefs or grudges you have against releasing it get over it, will ya! Your fans want to hear it.
@@danj312 I remember that name "punch" when I lived in Detroit in the 60s 70s and 80s...what or who is "punch"? Why wouldn't he or they release it to make more money???
Us Detroit people don't care about quality of sound. We love Seger no matter what. Bob wasn't selling Chevy trucks at this point in his career. He was paying his dues. He had that angst in his voice that touches every Detroiter. He was young and hungry and it can't be faked.
@@jamesbowen8960 As a fellow fan you should "want" to have the album reissued, since it hasn't been available for literally decades. There is no excuse.
GREAT to see people remember Bill Mueller played guitar on this and give props. His band, Julia, was Seger's band at that time, they were still in or just out of high school, that Lincoln Park line was about them.
I brought this album whist in London on a working holiday from Australia. Had just done 3 months stay in Lorraine Ohio and was introduced to Bob Seger and couldn't get enough. Unfortunately this and many other albums were stolen when my house was broken into back in Oz. I want it ,I need it I've just turned 70 years and it's as fresh in my mind as 1973.
Lincoln Park Theater 1972 ,Saturdays Mr. Seger would play and party with all in attendance , what a GUY, we were there several times for many, many shows. Those were the days my friends ,those WERE the DAYS!!!!!!
I remember back in 72 going to Sherwood forest in davison Michigan wild wensdays Michigan monster bob up on stage wtth seger ststem and when he went solo he once had teagarden and vanwinkle for back up those were the days you could go see bob ted nugent browsville station catftsh hunter alice cooper all in one day the list went on and on
tubedaddio Rouge Park was too much ! We would hichhike down Outer Drive from Allen Park . They built that nice stage and the concerts were stopped . lot of over doses and a bunch of morons!!!
@@tubedaddio What years were the Rouge Park concerts? Did they have them town by the tobbaggan runs off of Joy Rd. I don't remember them? I was 13 in 1972. I grew up at 9051 Vaughan St...near Joy Rd. And Evergreen St....left there in 1986.....house is all boarded up now!!
I know many people feel the same as I do about Bob. His songs have been in the weave of my life for the past 40yrs. You could always count on the man to help you get thru the walls and obstacles that folks laid down for you. Thanks Bob for being there!
Very well stated, Mitch! I started listening yo Seger at the very beginnings. From playing Autorama at Cobo, Greens Pavilion (in Irish Hills), to local skating rinks. Bob was ALWAYS part of my life. Something so "pure", authentic, and vital.
"Tricky Dick sure played it slick....back in '72". OMG! This is just classic. There was so much going in that general time era. The Vietnam War was raging. In 1973 Watergate broke onto the scene with Nixon resigning in 1974. In 1974 Coleman Young took over as mayor of Detroit....For better or worse they were VERY memorable times.
"It was so hip to be negative, so square to try and believe." Just for the record, Bob played a sock hop at my junior high. Saw him play at Mt. Holly. Saw him headline the Michigan Palace over Kiss and Blue Oyster Cult, at the Satellite Bar in Port Huron with Teegarden and Van Winkle, Silver Bullet Band at Mcmorran Arena, and one show at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Sat down the row from him and his guests at an Eric Clapton show at the Palace. Saw him in the Marina when he won the Port Huron to Mackinac Island sailboat race. And ya know what? He's just a regular guy offstage. No celebrity shit at all.
I bought this and his other Cameo/Parkway tracks on a bootleg CD at a shop in Royal Oak, Michigan. They had plenty of copies. If Bob won't re-release it, the bootleg is justified. C'mon, Bob! Most of us can't hear in one ear anymore anyway. Mono is fine.
Saw Seger around 73ish at Clarenceville High School in Livonia Michigan for $2.50. Can you believe that? He was a young fresh talent and I knew he was heading for superstardom.
@@rickkowalske4116 indeed, lived right down the street from the Livonia Mall in the 7 mile Brentwood area. Botsford Pool, Edgewater Park, to the east of Middlebelt. Carl Sandberg Library to the West of Middlebelt just to name a few things in the area at that time:) That was a long, long, long time ago:) I believe just behind the High School was an Elementary school called Grandview? Haven't been out that way in years. I'm sure like everything, it's all completely different.
73 would have me about 15 years old.i got back in 72 album in 75 and I would say it is one of if not my favorite seeger album.those places are familar.i lived over by 6 mile and Wayne rd.and went to Stevenson high but I knew many people in that area.
Bobby Seger, never has there been a truer, never quit, all I ever wanted to do was Rock, Rock & Roller than Bob Seger. Had he quit, look at all the great music we would of missed. Rock on Bobby!
I did a show with Bob Seger in 1972, in Baton Rouge La. at Independence Hall. I took him and Marcy Levy to see the movie Deliverence, Bob picked it, Back in 72, Richard Coots was there...
Back in 72 woo hoo! Loved early Seger - the hideout, St Clair Shores Civic Arena - nothing like a concert in Michigan. And to think I still have this album in vinyl!
"...homesick for Lincoln Park..." Been living in LP almost 25 years! When moving here in '93 after my parents divorce, my dad drove me past the LP high school and said "That's where you'll be going. Most of The MC5 went here"
He was the hardest working band back then….saw him every time he came thru Bob Seger System…. Pep Pepperdine rocking his tube drums!! If you know, you know❤❤
I used to play the drums with Segar, as a kid. They came to a place called Harper Hall, on 8 mile n Vernior. Those were the good ole days. Back then he was Bob Segar, n the last Herd !
It was called the Hideout when Bob and other Detroit bands played there, I used to set up the tables and chairs there when I was a kid to make a few extra bucks, I lived two blocks from the place. Harper Hall, that was a rocking place when it was called the Hideout.
Great song about my birth city. Born in Outerdrive Hospital, (Its no longer called Outerdrive Hospital). I grew up on Applewood between Farnham and Champaign across from Keppen school. I left for 23 year to live in Woodhaven. Came back and bought a house 8 blocks from where I grew up. I stay in LP on Mill street. Bob Seger was and is still great.......
do remember after the Lincoln Park railsplitters Senior high School football games on Friday night we will go down to off Southfield and River drive at the creek reads to Collin Creek parties off River drive in the woods right by the ecorse Creek right on the other side and Linkin Park remember
Back in the summer of '72,I was 15 and spending my HS vacation Up North on the coast of Lake Michigan with a small town chick who was 17. It was my version of the movie Summer of '42...and Seger's Fire Lake was for me...Crystal Lake.
Saw him open for Foghat at the Amphitheatre in Chicago. He blew them away. 7 months later at Soldier Field with Frampton, UFO, Pure Prairie League. Bob did not dissapoint.
I saw Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band in 1978 in Los Angeles when I was stationed in Long Beach in the Navy - One of the songs was Turn The Page with the great Alto Reed saxophone intro - Rip Alto
I remember seeing him at Uncle Sam’s on Telegraph Rd Detroit probably in 1972 - he was not famous yet just a local band. He was always playing at the Grande Ballroom when I used to go there.
Went to school with the Seger system would listen to them practice Cal Hughes was my neighbor in Southgate Mi I lived in Lincoln Park also Heavy music UMC loved those days almost went into music
@DetroitJJ back in 71 I graduated from Aquinas HS and lived in LP. I definately got homesick for my home and friends in Lincoln Park in 72 will I was away at CMU.
Motor City---home of the BEST ROCK AND ROLL EVER------------1st heard Seger at the Huron Bowl in Pontiac Mi. about '67' Mt.Holly,,Silverbell ,,Gooselake-Pine Knob--and many many more----Oh i couldn"t forget Dells Inn----GREAT TIME TO BE YOUNG-------KEEP ON ROCKING BOB----------------
+Gene Sealy Lucky you! I was a bit young to see him come up (born in 1970) but thankfully I eventually found all this. I do remember the Rockets, the Look played on WLLZ or WABX. WWWW. Didn't get to see him until 1996 at the Palace lol
Once read that Eric Clapton said, that blues man Robert Johnson was most soulful voice he has ever heard. In my opinion,for me, that honor would go to Bob Seger. Perhaps one day Bob, you will release this album for your diehard fans. Lincoln Park,Michigan native and lifelong fan.
I was marching in the army to this ,Ft. Polk shit hole of all army posts,....back in '72, finally going to see'em live this Friday 6/21/19 in De- fuck'in troit michigan👍🇺🇸🗽🎸
Whether or not this is Bob's FINAL tour who knows. Caught the opening night at Little Caesar's Arena and it was fantastic. I wish he would play some of his old stuff like this from his days with the Bob Seger System. Either way for all the times I've heard him play in Detroit I've never been disappointed. Bob can rock like no other. Thanks for the concerts and the great music for a lifetime.
First time I saw him was in Wheeling, West Virginia 1976. He was a last minute replacement for Montrose. It was before the night moves album hit the radio and nobody knew who he was. I remember every one asking "Who the shell is Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet band?" He made a lot of converts by the end of the night.
Man Rusty,that's what I call a BIG ASS/HAPPY FAMILY get together. Not ONE UNHAPPY SOUL through the full length of video,just simply damn ass awesome!!!!! Much Luv to those people in that video!!!
grew up just a few blocks from there behind Clemente's and sorelli's I'll fort Street and Champaign right by the high school Cleveland and Howard the wall that big freeway wall on i-75 that's my wall
Great song. First heard Bob around 76, Night Moves. Really got crazy about him after I listened to Stranger in Town, a true 70´s classic! Still one of my favorite albums from that decade. Many decent albums after that, and still rockin´! Too bad I never found a chance to see him live.
God I miss Alto Reed, had the pleasure of catchin him 3 times, Bobs shows were a tour-de-force of rock-in-roll,seen him the night Black Sabbath fired him, Ozzy was PISSED-OFF,from"GET OUT OF dENVER" to 'Snow Blind" did not smoothly go, Loved this album, Smokin O.P.S. was another dynamite LP
We're still waiting for a second person to try and make "pseudo intellectual" swing so very, very hard in a rock song. This is the point in Bob's career where his songwriting was catching up to his singing.
Went out in Norfork, hung on a short short Livin' with a bottle of wine With music ladies and burned out babies I was tryin' to write a couple of lines Sherriff Gribbs with his grim ad libs Spoutin' about the crime in the street And women were screamin' and some was dreamin' 'Bout the crimes between the sheets You know that music died, hurt my pride But somehow I pulled through, back in '72 Somehow we made it to Baton Rouge We stayed inside for a week We weren't in town for no Mardi Gras So we decided to sleep Houston, yes, was a good old guest Lord knows how bad we wanted to play But we got homesick for Lincoln Park, imagine And man we just couldn't stay Tricky Dick, he played it slick Something I was afraid he'd do, back in '72 Then all the new born philosophers Are windows for the world Then some mystic psuedo-intellectual Avant-garde-ish world Takin' notes on that ? That got me down on the scene It was so hip to be negative So square to try and believe When the waters cleared, it was what we feared We learned nothin' new, Back in '72
Great memories. Just listened and hair was standing up on my arms and legs. Simpler times and glad I was part of it.
Love it and old time rock and roll...🎉🎉🎉2:05 am I am still loveing Bob Seger Turn the Page...
Brings back so many good memories- eyes get a little misty. HS class of '70, Berkley Mi
Love me some rough BOB SEGER❤
Back in "72" I was riding my Bigwheel around Lincoln Park Michigan, back when I had nothing to worry about but riding my Bigwheel.
I was finally discharged from the Army ..101st Airborne Vietnam 70-71...the man ruled Detroit Rock and Roll "1967 Heavy "Music
Back in '72 I was -3 years old.
I was riding my big wheel on Arlington.
Railsplitter Pride!
Do you remember when Bob Seger played at the highschool?

@@raymondkitchen6137 CKWW barely comes in if you're listening to it near Detroit.
Me too
Guys I'm only 38 and I love this kind of music! Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong generation.
Thanks for posting this song .. Helps get through the darkness of 2020-2024....i miss the days back in '72
What's the darkness?
I know...having to listen to America's Hitler bloviating his racist nonsense nonstop these 4 years is extremely exhausting
You know!
I've always thought this was Seger's greatest song. I hope he does it live this tour.
This my favourite Bob seger song it stands out definitely love it
mine, too!!
This one and "Rosalie" are timeless classics and under recognized works of genius. Glad that you recognize it though!
It still does! you're lucky if you hear it on the radio love this song!

You got that right, nice job!!👍
Mitch, He’s the Real Deal.
There 100% raw talent in Seger. In his songwriting and you hear a man whose voice cries “Live your life”.
Awesome artist.

It was to us...... MOTOWN MUSIC. Always has hits ...
Saw him at the Free John Sinclair Concert. Doesn't get any better than that.
A bad ass bob seger song that should have been on his greatest hits
Back in 72, Moderate hit around Detroit..
Rambling Gambling Man was Bob's FIRST BIG HIT

I was marching in the army to this ,Ft. Polk shit hole of all army posts,....back in '72, finally going to see'em live this Friday 6/21/19 in De- fuck'in troit michigan👍🇺🇸🗽🎸
I saw him on the 14th then 21st in June, completely worth it
Whether or not this is Bob's FINAL tour who knows. Caught the opening night at Little Caesar's Arena and it was fantastic. I wish he would play some of his old stuff like this from his days with the Bob Seger System. Either way for all the times I've heard him play in Detroit I've never been disappointed. Bob can rock like no other. Thanks for the concerts and the great music for a lifetime.
How can you not like this.
Awesome song that really gets no radio time....at least around NY. Thank you for posting this!
Back in 72 I was at Westside high school in Omaha, New. Smokin good grass & having a blast
Listened like a mad man driving through the night so many times, drunk and overpowered
Yes sir that old Ramblin Gamblin man Bob Seger right at you😮
When the waters cleared, it was what we feared
We learned nothin' new...
priceless lyric, back in 72... !
I met my bro and still to this day best homie on Russell st. In Lincoln park, Back in 72; Imagine that..
First time I saw him was in Wheeling, West Virginia 1976. He was a last minute replacement for Montrose. It was before the night moves album hit the radio and nobody knew who he was. I remember every one asking "Who the shell is Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet band?" He made a lot of converts by the end of the night.
First year I went to GREYHOUND RACES . Wheeling W. Va... Love races, but love Seger Music More!!!
Man Rusty,that's what I call a BIG ASS/HAPPY FAMILY get together.
Not ONE UNHAPPY SOUL through the full length of video,just simply damn ass awesome!!!!! Much Luv to those people in that video!!!

A truly great song that I'd never heard until a few months ago.

William Castonguay. Hey Billy
I went out with a gal named Gloria Bonora back around 1982, she said her Dad was the Mayor of Lincoln Park

good old rock , before he went to fukin Katmandu Matthew you are a rock in roll Encarta
Great song. First heard Bob around 76, Night Moves. Really got crazy about him after I listened to Stranger in Town, a true 70´s classic! Still one of my favorite albums from that decade. Many decent albums after that, and still rockin´! Too bad I never found a chance to see him live.
2+2 is on my mind.1967
God I miss Alto Reed, had the pleasure of catchin him 3 times, Bobs shows were a tour-de-force of rock-in-roll,seen him the night Black Sabbath fired him, Ozzy was PISSED-OFF,from"GET OUT OF dENVER" to 'Snow Blind" did not smoothly go, Loved this album, Smokin O.P.S. was another dynamite LP
@lizcar went to school at Aquinas grew up around Northline an Allen Road, in those days they were sock hops
Rick O'Connell? It's been a long time, friend. Hope you and Melanie are well and living the dream!
Friends forever...
Grew up in LP so cool
2022 🤗🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Thirded, love both of these. That's one of his best lyrics.
Hell yeah! Mr Seger, this music is great! release it< please!
legend myte b old but still love rock n roll seger best of the best n my head and heart
We're still waiting for a second person to try and make "pseudo intellectual" swing so very, very hard in a rock song. This is the point in Bob's career where his songwriting was catching up to his singing.
Nothing but good things to say! After all, it is Bob Seger...:D
I've been a fan since it was Bob Seger System....Love Rockin' Robert!
Went out in Norfork, hung on a short short
Livin' with a bottle of wine
With music ladies and burned out babies
I was tryin' to write a couple of lines
Sherriff Gribbs with his grim ad libs
Spoutin' about the crime in the street
And women were screamin' and some was dreamin'
'Bout the crimes between the sheets
You know that music died, hurt my pride
But somehow I pulled through, back in '72
Somehow we made it to Baton Rouge
We stayed inside for a week
We weren't in town for no Mardi Gras
So we decided to sleep
Houston, yes, was a good old guest
Lord knows how bad we wanted to play
But we got homesick for Lincoln Park, imagine
And man we just couldn't stay
Tricky Dick, he played it slick
Something I was afraid he'd do, back in '72
Then all the new born philosophers
Are windows for the world
Then some mystic psuedo-intellectual
Avant-garde-ish world
Takin' notes on that ?
That got me down on the scene
It was so hip to be negative
So square to try and believe
When the waters cleared, it was what we feared
We learned nothin' new,
Back in '72
