He's a little like Ed Harris amongst actors-- he's got a lot of respect from collegues but not as much popular recognition. Now that his material's being discovered by another new generation, I hope he starts getting popular again.
darastarscream Ed Harris is a great actor. Just like Brian Dennehy, not as much recognition as they deserved. Ed is still with us, but Brian recently passed.
@@frankmerris8821 he should have had at least twice as much recognition. Hes great grew up with bob seger loving parents. Went to his concert for the first time 47 years ago while I was still in the womb
Bob Seger is, without a doubt, one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time. Unfortunately I believe that he has been overlooked and underrated for many, many years. If you weren't a boy band or churning out some pop garbage you were never really given your dues. His songs are classics and timeless in every sense!
To an American.... hearing him sing about the great devide and his choice of weather to go east or west.... and then seeing the hawk soar is a symbol of freedom and independence. I'm loving your reactions! Thank you!
Makes me laugh seeing the comments here that he was underrated or a best kept secret. The commenters must be in their twenties. The guy was at the top of the charts for decades and he’s in the rock hall.
I think he's underrated in the sense that when people think back and name great singer/songwriters of the 70s/80s, his name doesn't come up as often as it should.
You won't find a bad song by him. They all are sung with passion. You want to experience the passion Bob puts in, watch his cover of Little Drummer Boy 1998. Will give ya chills.
@@kdpflush i was hopin i wasn't gonna get shit for saying but i didn't care, it's my fav. That song goes on repeat a few times when I listen to it. But glad I'm not the only one too
Bob is obviously a huge talent and left his mark in music history. But what about the incredible "Silver Bullet Band" that makes Bob's lyrics come to life!
When you listen to Bob Seger you feel him in your chest....you feel like you are part of the story he is telling. He is a tremendous singer/song writer/preformer.......love love love him.
I'm from Detroit and I grew up with Bob Seger. He has so many great songs. Yo gotta listen to Marylou, Get Out of Denver, Black Knight. Or just about any of his songs. You can't go wrong.
The line where is he says "staring out at the great divide" Makes me a little emotional inside. If you have never been to the great divide (continental divide) its is spectacular! To say I could go west I could go east is literally true which side of America do you want to see? We are so blessed to live here (for those of us who do) and we don't even recognize it most of the time!
Bob Seger is one of those masters. You like the melody but the words just slay you. The world was such a mess back then we needed the Bob's and the Steve Perry's to get us through
12 hours outta mackinaw city stopped at a to have a brew.. love those lyrics.. try Lucifer.. it is from a very young Bob Seger and one of his very best
As a motorcycle rider, as a lover of the open road and seeing God's creation, as a lover of the wind and sun and feeling free, this is my all time favorite song. Go for a ride and discover why for yourself❤
Great reaction!! My son loved this song when he was two (still does). I used to pick him up every weekend at his mother's house. He would climb up into my truck and the first thing he would say was "roll me away, dad". He didn't even say hi. When he was three, I took him to see Bob in concert in Jan 1996. Bob opened with this song, and our fate was sealed. We have seen every Seger tour since. My son lives in Philadelphia now and has grown up to be a singer/songwriter himself. The only bummer is that Bob played his last show in Philadelphia this past Nov 1st. I was ready to drop $8 - 10 thousand dollars to go front row for that last show, but my son was on tour in Texas and couldn't make it. He wanted me to go anyway, but it just didn't seem right.
Took my then 13 yr old son to his first concert ever 11/21/18. We love Seger. That was the kick-off show for Bob's farewell tour. We caught him again the following June. Great Dad-Son bonding. BTW, I also got to meet Bob briefly for a photo after a show in '96. What a gentle soul behind the big voice. A true, humble gentleman.
Maybe you need to be from the upper Midwest for it to mean anything, but the specificity of his reference to Mackinaw City (a real place) always connects me to this song even more strongly. I blasted this song on a road trip to Idaho… perfection.
You almost cried, I saw it. Not an unusual reaction to a Seger song, especially this one. For many years this was the opener to his concert. My own personal favorite.
Welcome to the perfect music genre! You are one of the few who will actually appreciate what Seger has done, is doing and keeps rolling on. Try “Lucifer” amazing song and he must’ve been barely 18 years old but he still crushed it!
I grew up in Michigan. Bob Seger is a treasure. This may be the perfect road song. Defining freedom and personal choice. Next time, we’ll get it right. Go Blue.
One of my favourite Seger songs. I think I first heard it in the film Mask. This song always makes me stronger somehow. I think it was because I was in my late teens when I first heard it. It still gives me goosebumps.
The ultimate motorcycle / freedom song . Bob NAILED it !!! All about the feeling / emotion on a powerful motorcycle with the road stretching out in front of you !!! If ever there was a song that is a movie in itself , this is it ! Playing it out on the road should come with a public health warning , because by the end of it you'l find you are going 100mph : )
Against the Wind should probably be next, but you can't go wrong with Bob Seger... Still the Same, We've got Tonight, Katmandu... The list goes on and on my friend
He captures perfectly the feeling of setting out on a Harley without any particular destination just feeling free. Too old to ride now but I still feel it. Thanks Bob.
Yes. I lived it. crossing into Nevada on way to Vegas, my soul mate was standing up in a convertible screaming this at 95 mph past the Flying J truckstop exit. She had never heard of him before. She was 23, I was 40. It was magical.
I am the same age as Bob Seger and have heard almost every one of his recordings, but only recently have begun watching reaction videos of his music. This video just blows me away! I watched twice & it still plays in my head, wow, do I want to get out on the road again, bike or car - who cares! If you see a little ol' lady whiz by on a '74 black Triumph, look out!
You go girl! I'm impressed. Do yourself a favor and watch this video of Roll Me Away. All the badass females on their bikes. It's so cool. Bob Seger - Roll Me Away by Elaine8492
I can remember a 70's Colorado ski trip with my older brother, sitting in my brother's car while he called his wife from this thing called a PHONE BOOTH to tell her we were in a bad snowstorm and would be late getting home. As I sat there listening to the radio I heard Seger's 'Turn The Page' for the first time. Blew me away. Bob was part of my partying, camping, romance, road trips, everything. He was simply part of my life, and still is. Sooo glad to finally see one of you First Reaction dudes covering Mr Seger! Thank you, thank you very much.
Ya know, all of Seger's songs were great for "car" listening. Back in those days, you could blast great music like this without too much hassle, and that's what we did, put in the cassette and just crank Bob Seger...and let your SPIRIT SOAR!!
I am a dedicated subscriber and have NEVER clicked on a video faster . This is a bikers anthem and the cause of ALOT of speeding tickets . Seager is the the greatest singe songwriter and performer of our time PERIOD
@@danoriordan8044 worst wreck I ever had that song was playing in my Scala Rider an on helmet radio system . Went off a cliff at Deals Gap and walked away but totaled my Yamaha R1
He used this as his opening song on many tours. Check out American Storm and The Fire Inside. Also Obscure and one of his early songs 2 + 2=? One of the better anti-viet nam war songs from the perspective of what many young men of that time felt. Gritty music and lyrics make a powerful biting protest
I love it, I was born in Michigan and this song showed a lot of scenes from Michigan (and the west). 12 hours out of Mackinaw City, Michigan was one verse. We call him "Uncle Bob" in Michigan.
This song meant SO much to me as a confused, feeling-defeated young man and kindled a hope that there was a way/a place/a road to finding something better.
I AM SO HAPPY! Thank you for reviewing this! It is quintessential Seger. That bridge was a 5 mile long Mackinac Bridge between the Upper and Lower peninsula of Michigan I really am so happy that you enjoyed this!
The Mackinac Bridge is underrated, just like Bob Seger, I think because it's not near a major metropolitan area, but it's truly a stunning, beautiful bridge. I'd take it over the Golden Gate any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.
as great and popular as bob is i believe he is still one of the most underrated singer songwriters there is
i watch alot of music video channels and it boggles my mind how little play he gets. i appreciate your appreciation for talent

Andrew Stolpman I agree. He is to me one of the greats.
I agree.
He was up against Springsteen his whole career. It's a shame he was overlooked by many.
I grew up in Detroit during the 70's with my parents listening to Bob Seger. Alot of memorable moments in my life has a Bob Seger song related to it.
@@maryblack2622 he and his music are literally timeless! Such a huge talent!
Today's music just doesn't come close to how great this is.
Today's music ain't got the same soul!
Not sure there are many story tellers in music better than Seger. He truly is an American treasure.
He sings about the common man...and that is why we love him...
Played at my step dad's funeral. Died trucking and loved this song.
To an American.... hearing him sing about the great devide and his choice of weather to go east or west.... and then seeing the hawk soar is a symbol of freedom and independence.

OMG, yes!
@@christopherone1 👍
I’ve loved this Song for 20 years and have played it dozens and dozens of times.
You can really get an idea of what America is like by listening to Bob Seger. He is one of the best at capturing place and feeling.
Love, love, love Bob Seeger and anything he sings.
Bob is truly one of the greats...incredible song.
When you listen to Bob Seger you feel him in your chest....you feel like you are part of the story he is telling. He is a tremendous singer/song writer/preformer.......love love love him.
Every time I hear bob Segar it takes me to a moment in my life. Always a good one.
I gave my albums of his and the eagles to my granddaughter. She's 14 and an old soul.
Fantastic!!!!! LOVE Bob Seger Awesome awesome song!!! Love the raspiness in his voice!
The Freedom in Bob's songs...keep riding, keep believing...keep on going.
That's the Bob Segar power. Your on that bike with him. So free.
What a voice.
The freedom of the road is so American. Most people have no idea what it’s like to ride this huge beautiful country we live in !
My favorite Seger song!! And one of my all-time fave songs period! **every time** I hear it, it moves my soul!!
I'm from Detroit and I grew up with Bob Seger. He has so many great songs. Yo gotta listen to Marylou, Get Out of Denver, Black Knight. Or just about any of his songs. You can't go wrong.
This song is just a masterpiece.gives me chills every time I hear it💯

Pumps me up whenever I hear Bob
What a fantastic artist, voice and song!
By far my favorite Bob Seger song. Can't help but do about 100 mph listening to that one.
Maybe you need to be from the upper Midwest for it to mean anything, but the specificity of his reference to Mackinaw City (a real place) always connects me to this song even more strongly. I blasted this song on a road trip to Idaho… perfection.
He is now in his 70 ' s . Saw him in 2019 and he was just as awesome! Such a great Living Legend.
I never tire of hearing that song!
Like A Rock Little Drummer Boy You’ll Accomp’ny Me
Your reaction to this amazing song makes me real happy! Thank you.
That's a mover and a shaker...saw Bob 4 times in Toronto 86,96,2011,2019.. 👍👍👍

As a young Michigander woman, feeling trapped, I often wish Bob had picked me up on his bike!
I first heard it in the movie mask also, I can’t believe this song never made the radio!
Thank You! Can't go wrong with Bob Seger.
I was lucky to see him play at my High School before he made it big and he was freaking amazing!!
Fantastic track. One of my favourites from Bob Segar. Along with Hollywood nights and Nightmoves. Real gritty street rock.
never gets old. Bob Seger is Michigan.

There is something about Bob Seger that will leave you speechless,no,breathless,every single time.
