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. :)
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.
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❤
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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.
"...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"
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.
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.
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 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!
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❤❤
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
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
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.
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.
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 at the Silverdome concert with Todd Rundgren. He did this song. He also did 2 + 2. The next few years after Live bullet, he would always do what I call one surprise song from the old days. One time at Pine Knob he did need ya. I believed he would always do that but after awhile I guess there was too much material. Now he's coming back to Pine Knob for one last time but the tickets sold out duringthe pre-sale. Bob's voice isn't what it used to be.
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
Lived in Melvindale, less than a mile from the big ass Uniroyal tire along I-94. Also lived in Lincoln Park (home of the MC-5). Seen Seeger at the Lincoln Park theater the year this came out. Frijid Pink and another band were there, and they showed the Rolling Stones' "Altamont" flick. Cost something like 3 or 5 bucks. Remember standing out front after waiting for a ride with a friend when Bob and the band came out the front doors, climbed into a beat-up looking van and left. Great concert
dnatz58 I recall the giant tire well, remember the arrow sticking out of it? I also lived in Lincoln Park for a bit, across from the outdoor mall. I'm a big MC5 fan, used to see them at the Grande. I just recently found out they were from Lincoln Park, for years i thought they were from Ann Arbor. I hung out with the singer from Frigid Pink one 4th of July. We were blowing off firecrackers in Allen Park and he walked over, cool dude. And Bob Seger! He kicked around Detroit for years until he hit the big time. He's still performing great shows and his last album was excellent. Nice to connect with someone who was there for that great music scene. My name is Guy Bezzar by the way.
Guy B. I was there around 64 or 65. I was 6 or 7. The school I went to isn't there anymore, at least I don't think so. Tried to find the name of it with no luck. Don't know, maybe we were classmates. That would be wild.
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
everyone always remembers Bob Seger with the Silver Bullet Band but a lot of people that know Bob Seger was with the system when he began and that's when he really kicked it out he did good with the Silver Bullet Band but when Bob Seger was with the system he was really Rockin away take it from the Slick thick
@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.
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
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.
From Wilkipedia, Bob Seger attended Lincoln Park High for one year.. Seger attended Tappan Junior High School (now Tappan Middle School) and graduated from Pioneer High School in 1963. He ran track and field in high school. Seger also went to Lincoln Park High School for a year.[3] Seger has stated that the first musicians "that really got to me" were Little Richard and Elvis Presley.[4] "Come Go With Me" by The Del Vikings, a hit in 1957, was the first record he bought.
I still remember Bob Seger at The Side Door on Telegraph Rd in Dearborn just south of Michigan Avenue right next to the giant whipped cream cans! PrestoWhip!!
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
Used to have to stay up late to hear songs like this on WOW Am radio Omaha Wolf Man Jack show. If i ever make it in the music deal, i owe a debt of gratitude to Wolfman Jack and my older brother Tim for leaving us his old 45s and a Zenith stereo to spin albums on. Playing frisbee in the yard speaker in the window, arguing over whose turn it is to go flip over the album. But ya got to pick the album if ya did the deed...
Had this album at one time. Don't think they ever released it on cd. At least I was never able to find it. Personally think this was his all time best.
dnatz58 Yeah. it was released on CD - but not sure what all the issues have been regarding the difficulties of finding so much of his earlier catalog....
I wish Seger would reissue these with the singles as bonus tracks, this tune is so good. Most of the CD releases of his pre-Beautiful Loser albums are bootlegs. With the exception of Smokin' O.P.'s which was released officially. The reason Seger has given is that he doesn't care much for the material. His manager has implied that because of the way the licensing works there would be much money in it for them either. I have dupes of the bootlegs and they actually sound really good.
Do you know how utterly demented that sounds? But I'm right there with ya. You gotta live to to understand. The music that we grew up with was by far the best in the country. You can have all those slick L.A. Bands, and those arrogant New Yorker's who thought their shit didn't stink. Detroit rocked in the Sixties and Seventies, and no one could touch it.
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...
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?
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!
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!

Guys I'm only 38 and I love this kind of music! Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong generation.

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❤❤

Saw him at the Free John Sinclair Concert. Doesn't get any better than that.
Back in 72, Moderate hit around Detroit..

I checked Bob's ID at the entrance gate I was working at for the "Old Town Blues Festival" in Lansing just a few years ago.
Awesome song you ever rarely hear it it should have been on Bob segers greatest hits
hard to believe the same brain that came up with this gem , Heavy Music ,Rosalie and 2+2=? did dreck like Til lt Shines and Like a Rock
This should have been a hit...
It was to us...... MOTOWN MUSIC. Always has hits ...
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
u ain't bull shift Detroit we know
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
Thanks for being a true far paulette are you currently on any of my fans club?
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!!!
Psuedo intellectual......Bob never struck me as that type but I dig this song. Cheers!
I worked in a bar on Fort Street in Lincoln park in 72
Top Sail Lounge
Money Talks band
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.
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 at the Silverdome concert with Todd Rundgren. He did this song. He also did 2 + 2. The next few years after Live bullet, he would always do what I call one surprise song from the old days. One time at Pine Knob he did need ya. I believed he would always do that but after awhile I guess there was too much material. Now he's coming back to Pine Knob for one last time but the tickets sold out duringthe pre-sale. Bob's voice isn't what it used to be.
Great song, great rhythms, guitar, sax...listenin' to "the Big 8" CKLW...
Wow that's some old Bob Seger I love it.classic
great song...love the drums...and the bass, sweet...
In Tampa Florida, homesick for Michigan, imagine.
Back in 2021 I'll say someday.
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

"we got homesick for Lincoln Park, imagine,,,"
The Lincoln Park show, we used to hitch hike from Melvindale.
Lived in Melvindale, less than a mile from the big ass Uniroyal tire along I-94. Also lived in Lincoln Park (home of the MC-5). Seen Seeger at the Lincoln Park theater the year this came out. Frijid Pink and another band were there, and they showed the Rolling Stones' "Altamont" flick. Cost something like 3 or 5 bucks. Remember standing out front after waiting for a ride with a friend when Bob and the band came out the front doors, climbed into a beat-up looking van and left. Great concert
dnatz58
I recall the giant tire well, remember the arrow sticking out of it?
I also lived in Lincoln Park for a bit, across from the outdoor mall.
I'm a big MC5 fan, used to see them at the Grande. I just recently found out they were from Lincoln Park, for years i thought they were from Ann Arbor.
I hung out with the singer from Frigid Pink one 4th of July. We were blowing off firecrackers in Allen Park and he walked over, cool dude.
And Bob Seger! He kicked around Detroit for years until he hit the big time. He's still performing great shows and his last album was excellent.
Nice to connect with someone who was there for that great music scene.
My name is Guy Bezzar by the way.
West Coast Beez Dave Natzel :p
dnatz58 Hey Dave, i'm just wondering if we knew each other, Melvindale was small.
Guy B. I was there around 64 or 65. I was 6 or 7. The school I went to isn't there anymore, at least I don't think so. Tried to find the name of it with no luck. Don't know, maybe we were classmates. That would be wild.
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
everyone always remembers Bob Seger with the Silver Bullet Band but a lot of people that know Bob Seger was with the system when he began and that's when he really kicked it out he did good with the Silver Bullet Band but when Bob Seger was with the system he was really Rockin away take it from the Slick thick
I was born that year and a huge Seger fan today!

10 years in Lincoln Park...
@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.
Listened like a mad man driving through the night so many times, drunk and overpowered
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
Back in 72 I was at Westside high school in Omaha, New. Smokin good grass & having a blast
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
I met my bro and still to this day best homie on Russell st. In Lincoln park, Back in 72; Imagine that..
Ain't this some dank, old-school shit right here?
From Wilkipedia, Bob Seger attended Lincoln Park High for one year..
Seger attended Tappan Junior High School (now Tappan Middle School) and graduated from Pioneer High School in 1963. He ran track and field in high school. Seger also went to Lincoln Park High School for a year.[3]
Seger has stated that the first musicians "that really got to me" were Little Richard and Elvis Presley.[4] "Come Go With Me" by The Del Vikings, a hit in 1957, was the first record he bought.
I still remember Bob Seger at The Side Door on Telegraph Rd in Dearborn just south of Michigan Avenue right next to the giant whipped cream cans! PrestoWhip!!
This song is so fine ... nostalgia ❤
I seen him in 74 in l.p. mi. Bob seger system. st the Lincoln park show on fort street.
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
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
When ROCK was GREAT,just don't make em' like they used to!! So called rock&roll now-a-days just don't cut it, if you know what I mean!!!!!!!
I, CERTAINLY DO!
When the waters cleared, it was what we feared
We learned nothin' new...
priceless lyric, back in 72... !
How can you not like this.
Awesome song that really gets no radio time....at least around NY. Thank you for posting this!
Used to have to stay up late to hear songs like this on WOW Am radio Omaha Wolf Man Jack show. If i ever make it in the music deal, i owe a debt of gratitude to Wolfman Jack and my older brother Tim for leaving us his old 45s and a Zenith stereo to spin albums on. Playing frisbee in the yard speaker in the window, arguing over whose turn it is to go flip over the album. But ya got to pick the album if ya did the deed...
lived in lincoln park for many years loved left there in 89 went back last year so sad to see the decline
Lincoln Park turned into SW Detroit.
Our man has come a long way from '72.
my favorite bob seger album....good luck trying to find it!
Had this album at one time. Don't think they ever released it on cd. At least I was never able to find it. Personally think this was his all time best.
dnatz58 Yeah. it was released on CD - but not sure what all the issues have been regarding the difficulties of finding so much of his earlier catalog....
I wish Seger would reissue these with the singles as bonus tracks, this tune is so good. Most of the CD releases of his pre-Beautiful Loser albums are bootlegs. With the exception of Smokin' O.P.'s which was released officially. The reason Seger has given is that he doesn't care much for the material. His manager has implied that because of the way the licensing works there would be much money in it for them either. I have dupes of the bootlegs and they actually sound really good.
i have several of his early catalog on cd... they are imports from argentina (unofficial releases).
I found it on CD on CD Baby about 15 years ago. Haven't seen it anywhere since.
This era was the best Seger
good old rock , before he went to fukin Katmandu Matthew you are a rock in roll Encarta
A truly great song that I'd never heard until a few months ago.
Thanks for posting.
Me and my buddy hitchhiking from dix Ave on the Southfield expressway in lincoln park to oakwood boulevard in dearborn mich.good times
Achei essa música por acaso, mas que música boa!!
Back in 24
Born and Raised in Detroit I wouldn't trade it for anything.......
Do you know how utterly demented that sounds? But I'm right there with ya. You gotta live to to understand. The music that we grew up with was by far the best in the country. You can have all those slick L.A. Bands, and those arrogant New Yorker's who thought their shit didn't stink. Detroit rocked in the Sixties and Seventies, and no one could touch it.
