I'm 72 yrs old, remember when this song came out, thought it was great. Never thought he would have such a great career. Thanks Bob for all the great songs. ✌️

This is the most AMAZING thing I have ever seen in my life. This is some serious Seger holy grail type stuff! EXCELLENT!

My Beginnings with Bob as his Drum Roadie ....Went on to Be his sound man and tour manager .....Days Gone By ......

My mind is blown. I can’t believe this exists in such high quality.

Holy Moses, he's just a baby (with the soul of a wise man). What a gifted man. He's maintained his humanity, throughout my lifetime, listening to Bob Seger. I'm grateful to be alive, during the time of the great "Bob Seger" (and the Silver Bullet Band). 🇨🇦🎶🎸✍🏻❤️✨🌎💫

One of the all-time greats!!! when the music of Detroit and Michigan in general was ruling the airwaves with MOTOWN and local Rock n Roll.

South East Michigan was truly blessed to have talent like that in the 60's That kid Seger has a set of pipes on him, eh?

Pure Rock Gold . That this Footage of Bob even exists is a miracle of sorts . I actually had the great honor of meeting Bob and the rest of the System on their 70 Tour . Great Guys and awesome memories . I just wish this video was an 1 1/2 Hrs long .

I've been telling my kids about Seger's drummer with 2 bass drums in the air for 50 years and I finally found proof! Great vid, Great quality...

Takes me back to my high school in the very early 70s. They actually played in my high school gym (Harper Woods, MI-Notre Dame). Seeing those drums waiting for that band on our stage was indescribable. Such a great memory!!

That drum set up was really something else

This really is amazing & it's great that it's an actual real live performance. No lip sync silliness. You knew a man with that amount of passion... & that voice would go far!

Nobody knows how we had the best music! Detroit. Bob Seger! So many. Smokey so on

É tão estranho ver ainda garoto nesse vídeo ,e hoje um senhor de 79 anos, o tempo passou muito rápido, pena que não acompanhei a sua carreira no início pois nasci em 1970 na década de 80 ouvi algumas músicas e hoje em 2024 estou conhecendo, tantas belas músicas que nunca tinha escutado ❤❤

For those of us honored enough to have seen Seger plenty of times back in Michigan, these sounds are still rolling around in our heads. Kinda like the old stadium dogs from Briggs Stadium

I love that he is standing on a spool used for wire, I had them as tables in my first apartment.

Bob rockin' from the cable spool. Full respect from a Gen X punk, The System rocked the house. Detroit ca. 60-70, hoo-boi!!!

As a born and bred Michigander this to me is as GOOD AS IT GETS for us Seger fans! By far my favorite artist of all times, GREAT, GREAT LIVE, especially at Cobo Hall, and "PINE KNOB!" Thanks for posting this RAW High Quality footage.

This right here seeing live at 14 years old is what keeps me saying I love the Bob Seger System more than the Silver Bullet Band... Guess you had to be there.

I had the 45 of Heavy Music and had to flip over the LP to listen to the 2nd half of the song. LoL. Wish I still had that. I went to see him in Detroit and he announced he was going to put that concert on a live album.. That was an awesome show. Seger ripped his pants doing the James Brown splits and the band jammed for 10 minutes so he could go change. Seger is one of the few bands that sounds better live than on the album. His energy on stage is insane.

Watching from England. What a brilliant, BRILLIANT band. REAL ROCK. I was three years old when this aired.

His vocals are 100/10 impressive

All live, No "effects", no back tracks.... Live and RAW. That's a whole lotta sound for a simple 4 pc band.

Honestly, the System was so ahead of it's time. Just look at Pep's INSANE kit (considering it's only 1970, only really Keith Moon and John Bonham were doing a similar thing) and the way he's smashing the shit out of those drums. Bob's guitar tone is as fuzzy and nasty as it ever probably was. I love the Silver Bullet Band a lot and a lot of what came after this era, but Mongrel should be held up in the same regard as his other 70's masterpieces. Definitely Seger's heaviest and rawest period

Gotta love that shot of the drummer during the guitar solo on Lucifer. Incompetent TV directors strike again!

Wow! So that's what Bob Seger looked like without a beard! This is a great quality video for being as old as it is.

Danny Watson on organ/keyboards is awesome!

My first concert was bob seger's system at a high school bop in southgate michigan

I swear Dr. Bob Seger (honorary Doctorate from Wayne State University in 1989) has the same great voice in 1966, 1978, 1989, 2005 and today! Great singer, songwriter, musician and all around great guy. I just imagine him at two years old singing "you can call me Lucifer if you think you should" in that classic Seger voice. He is Michigan! You would see him around the Detroit area, at a restaurant or at a Piston's game. He was/is always kind and gracious. Met him twice - in 1989 at Wayne State and again in 1991 at a Pistons game. Back in '93 I worked with a woman who was about 20 years older. She heard me listening to Seger one afternoon. The next day she brought in a scrapbook containing pictures of her and Bob Seger, Mitch Ryder, Ted Nugent and other Detroit area musicians from '66-68. Many of the pics were from her parent's basement in Royal Oak, MI. Guess she was kind of a groupie. Incredible pictures!

Saw Bob play THIS ONE at Goose Lake..He did a much heavier version..R.I.P.

This is the Bob Seger I would hitch hike to see at Lincoln Park Theater in Michigan on Friday nights . I think it was 2 dollars to get in .

First time seeing this! My dad and I seen him and his band in 2019! Great experience! So much energy! ☮️ ❤️ 🙂

Tend to think, Bob Has "Earned His grits", over many decades,& can Lay it on to Any real American., One way or Another.. Just Sayin'. May Bob Seger's works of Art Live into Infamy

A young Seger, jammin on a Firebird. PRICELESS!

Gotta love Bob standing on an old cable spool!

I saw him do this number with this band, 1968 Utica high school mi. Wednesday nite teen club !

OK BOB THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG BY YOU. IM FROM HOWARD CITY AND I HAVE OVER 3000 LPS. HOWEVER I DONT HAVE A 1976 BMW.

Omg… am I ever going to get packed up to move?? I can’t stop watching Mr. Seger!! Such awesome memories!

Bob was great since the beginning of his career, among the best rock sound of these years

was very lucky to be in michigan in the 60s and early 70s. Saw seger and the last herd and bob seger system in concert at least 20 times. never exactly the same set but always great music. was so lucky to have lived this life...

He used to play at my High School and other area schools. Loved his music since middle 60s ! He continues to make great music !

Oh wow, would never recognize him but the voice is unmistakable.

His voice is AMAZING at this age, and the drummer

A lot of people don’t realize that Seger was doing music long before Night Moves. As of 2021, he has been making music for about 60 years. That’s long enough that he would make it into the top 50 longest music careers.

One of the classic Rock voices of all time.

Each time I hear this I learn more. If I were in a band I would refuse to continue unless the entire band could master the Lucifer jam in practice. Busy drummer is outrageous, love his unique setup.

I've loved Bob seger since I was 15 I'm now 66 years old and I love him then and I love him now ❤❤❤❤❤❤

AH the days when Bob Seger ROCKED!!! and NOT background muzak for chevy commericals!!!! Pep and Dan was one of the best rythym sections in Michigan!

The Bob Seger System and also the Last Heard had some of the most blazing rock around. More folks need to get familiar. Thank you for the upload. It’s appreciated! 💜

Ramblin Gamblin Man was the song that made me know he was on his way to greater things. Thanks Bob for your music. Wonder if there are any of Chuck's Children still out there.

Same year, same members that played my high school in South Windsor, Ontario, Canada... Vincent Massey High School, May 8, 1970. I remember those drums, I remember that night close to 54 years ago... amazing!

Ramblin'man what I came here for. This is one cool song. I'm a bass player and the other morning on the radio I heard this song so I just had to find it on YT. Another classic from the 70's. Should have known. Other than gospel music there's nothing today worth listening to.

Wow! Unbelievable! Bob Seger as I remember him! Awesome! Absolutely amazing! I shared this with my Detroit friends in my age group and they're all totally blown away! Thank you so much for this. Detroit rocks!

Excellent song as is Back in 72 & looking back 👏👏👏

I love Bob Seger ! ❤️

Bob had some great rock and roll screams!

Bob's earliest works were the most raw and best. We use to drive from Kent State 5 hrs to detroit just to be at his venue gigs 1969-71. Then he started to get gigs arnd Cleveland. J.Geils had the same raw bluesy style.

I’m back her again this morning!! Can’t get enough!! This is better than caffeine in the morning!!

This could be my favorite old video of Bob Seger ever. Video and sound quality are both excellent and the performance really captures Bob and the band in the raw. Pep Perrin's drum set was always a show stopper too!

This is like a time capsule! Shows you how far Bob has come!! He is amazing. First time I watched him in concert was 1978.

Never wrote a song that wasn't good. And surrounded himself with great musicians. Bob is the man. Detroit was the city that gave us so much and has lasted the test of time.

Seger played in our cafeteria at lunchtime, 1968 Farmington High School

This is the the most bad ass set ever played.

holy shit...his son Cole looks JUST LIKE THIS. lol love it love it love it. SO MUCH. thanks.

The blues devil rests deep within this talented musician since teen yrs. Kickass rock n roll like it was and should be!

Saw Bob one time playing at a rock quarry in Dundee Michigan.

Im so happy this is preserved now for everyone to see.

This is so Amazing I can not even say. Takes me back to Atlanta Jan 1970 (MC5) and Atlanta Pop July 5, 1970! Our music was in fact better! Thank you MichiganRocksandRoll

I loved me some Bob in the 60 and the 70s in Detroit. Still love him today. He's in his 70s and so am I!

you can get all the finest musicians from Nashville and beyond, but dear, Bob, this is the essence of your greatness.

Three words...Total Rock Action!

Damn, that drummer is DANGEROUS !

Deep Purple are covering this one too Nov 2021. (Lucifer) Never heard this one either . Pretty cool.

I just discovered Mongrel after years of being a Bob Seger fan. I heard Lucifer via a Little Stevens Nuggets radio show many years ago, but I had no idea how raw, and incredible this early stuff is.

Wow...what a great quality video ... I'd already been into Seger's music since '66. Loved Pep Perrine's drum kit...that was something else.

Astonishing perfomance.

I saw Seger many times back in the day with the Last Heard and the System. Way better than Silver Bullet, IMO.

Great vid. Goose Lake Music Festival. 1970. A great memory. Seger headlined on Sunday.

This is the absolute greatest !!!

I love these vintage recordings thanks for the upload way cool , I have lived in Michigan my whole life and appreciate all the great rock and roll that came out of Detroit

The bass crushes

6:50 So F'n Good... Enjoy ! 1st time I've heard Bob go all out from the start on Ramblin Gamblin Man... even throwing in some wild screaming fills 😎🎸( Awesome ) 1970 Headlines : The next real Rock-n-Roll superstar ☆

Bob's best music, IMHO. Hear-felt, in your face rock and roll. I love it! :-)

The Bob Seger Sound System played at Notre Dame H.S. Harper Woods, MI on April 10, 1970.

Wow, have never seen this one. Gold baby. Solid gold

Wow, great stuff. Always wondered how they looked back in the day. But never expected them to sound so great.

I remember him playing locally in A2 or Ypsitucky. Saw Iggy and the Iquanas, too.

love it.

amazing good quality of great music! Thanks!!

Reminds me of Silver bell

Excellent!!!! What a voice. 😱🤯😀

One of my most prized possessions is a cassette tape of the Bob Seger System live at Beginnings in Schaumburg, IL.back in '78! Same rough edged band, grinding it's way through Bob's industrial rock. I lost interested as his sound became more refined. A great songwriter and force in rock. The real deal!

OH MY LORD THANK YOU FROM THE PIT OF MY GUTS!! Bob at his ultimate BEST. :-) LIFE IS SHORT AND I AINT LYIN! first time i EVER got that line. bwahahaha THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Pep and that god damn homemade kit. THIS IS FUCKING PRICELESS! THANK YOU THANK YOU. lol So LOVE this.

Only sound that would cut through the sound of the assembly line, lemme tell ya...

Such dynamic Motortown Rock. Can't Believe it was 50 years ago Today!!!

Pep was the only drummer that always looked like he was hurting when he played. I loved those days

Proof! Bob Seger was once a psychedelic "guitar god" . I've been trying to tell the late comers for years. Saw them in Wheaton, Maryland during this time. Loudest band ever! The great and legendary Pep Perrine on his giant homemade drum kit. It's a shame people don't do this kind of thing anymore. There was a band or street dance on every block. We were in the presence of greatness and didn't know it.

DAMN!

INTENSE! Hits hard... and Seger's vocals in particular always sounded clear and coherent. Always a cut above the rest.

Holy Sh!7...this is so badass
