Someone commented once that this song makes you long for a time you never lived in, a place you've never been and a girl you've never seen. Perfect description.

20 year old here. Mr.Seger is one of my favorites. Not all of us young people are bad. Long live rock

Perhaps the most perfect song ever written. Segar is the Norman Rockwell of rock . This song screams America and evokes memories of the days in the past when life seemed so innocent .

Sensual without vulgarity.

Bob is the king of nostalgic reminiscing!

He is the greatest rock voice of his generation..... it takes him singing one lyric and you know it’s him

There's other reviewers. But Jamal's the boss.

"Mainstreet" was a Masterwork of Art. Pure brilliance & Soul from 1976.

The lead guitar is haunting, it makes this song timeless

This was my brother Mark's favorite Bob Seger song. He and I would cruise in my Camero with an 8 track listening to the Silver Bullet band. I miss him so much. Thanks for jogging my memory brother.

Only Bob Seger could write a song about a stripper and make it sound innocently beautiful.

I’ve heard this a thousand times . Still gives me the chills . Musical perfection

Jamel, my oldest brother bought Bob Seger's 'Ramblin Gamblin Man' in a 45 when he was home on leave in 1969. It began my becoming a life long fan of the artist's work. My brother passed recently and he willed me his album collection. Every album Seger put out is in this collection. I think of my brother now I many times think of our love of Seger's work. That, is comforting.

Saw him in concert last summer. He said he wrote this when he was 16. That’s amazing.

When you're in a certain nostalgic mood, these Bob Seger songs capture that perfectly, and his gravelly voice, what a great artist!!

Rest in peace, Pete Carr. He gave us so much great guitar work over the decades including this album Pete passed away last week. The beautiful organ playing was the great Barry Beckett who passed away in 2009. The legendary Muscle Shoals Swampers have dwindled to 2. They were THE go to band in the late 60s through the mid 80s when it comes to the studio magic. By the way, this WAS NOT the silver bullet band. It was the legendary Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, aka the Swampers.

Bob Seger's voice is dripping with a wide range of emotions, ranging from the weariness of life on the road ("Turn the Page") to wistful nostalgia of lost loves or memories ("Night Moves," "Main Street," "Against the Wind") to the exuberance of travelling the open road to new places ("Roll Me Away," "Travellin' Man/Beautiful Loser").

This song really brings me back to my days as a 20 year old hitting Main Street in Buffalo N.Y.! I guess no matter where you live there is " Main" street for you even if that's not the name of it that puts you right where he is singing about. Always loved this song!!

Bob Seger writes music that is like little music movies.

For the everyman, Bob Seger's music takes you to a time and place deep within. Great singer songwriter.

This is my favorite Seger song. It’s that haunting guitar. ✌️

Pete Carr played those killer guitar lines. He was one of the Muscle Shoals boys.

In songs like this, the guitar sings a song of it's own

Down on Main Street. Talk about a nostalgic sound. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My friend, you are going deep into the rabbit hole. Don't stop now. Get to Beautiful Loser and Sun Spot Baby!

"We've got tonight"

Such a brilliant lyricist, when you really listen, to his words you find yourself raising an eyebrow, tilting your head and saying "yeah" kinda under your breath. One of my favs is from the song "Against the wind", "I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then"

The guitar lick never fails to give me chills

I won tickets to see Bob Seger play in Philly last year - I think it was his last touring concert ever. Fantastic show, he hasn't lost a step.

I’m so proud of you brotha, you have finally found Bob Seger. I think he is one of the best singer, songwriters in American music. I’ve referred to him as the American Beatle. I’m glad and so happy to see you enjoy him and his music. I’ve wanted you to listen to him for so long now and I’m glad you are finally here. I know you cannot react to all of his hits, but I strongly, strongly encourage you to check out all of his music from start to finish on your own. You will forever be a Bob Seger fan. I am 53 years old and have been a Bob Seger fan since I was 16. My daughter is 25 and she is a Bob Seger fan. My daughter gave me a birthday present last year by taking me to a Bob Seger’s farewell concert in Austin. To be able to see Bob in person singing and playing all those hits was amazing. Keep Rocking On my Brotha! Gabriel.

He’s a good storyteller, when I hear this song I imagine a video in my head.

I couldn't imagine a life without Bob Seger music in it! His music has been a part of my life so long that it is a part of me!

I gotta agree with many of the comments "Her Strut", "You'll Accompany Me", "We've Got Tonight". Keep that Seger train rollin'!

Brother, I lost it when the line " Stand outside at closing time, just to watch her walk on past" and you in an instant yelled "Ha ha, To see her Strut, haha"!!! That made my day, brother! Keep your reviews coming man! Love your stuff!

This song connects to me emotionally. This man, who is a lonely person, fantasized about the lady who is a lost soul as well.

That guitar is weeping it really makes the song along with Uncle BOB.

I’m loving this Bob Seger run❤️

Keep Brother Bob coming!! Fire Down Below, You'll Accompany Me, We've Got Tonight, and Sun Spot Baby!

The lead guitarist on this recording was the legendary Pete Carr. He was one of the "Swampers," a member of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section who played on over 80 number 1 albums in the 60s and 70s. Unfortunately, Pete passed away yesterday at the age of 70. He also played with Duane Allman in the Hourglass, and with Lenny Leblanc. Here he is in a documentary short Session Men of the Muscle Shoals Documentary kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qt99YLthlsmckWg.html, where he tells the story of getting the gig to record with Bob Seger. There is also a youtube video of Leblanc and Carr playing the song "Falling" on American Bandstand with Dick Clark from 1977. He also played on other hits by Bob Seger (Against the Wind album), Linda Ronstadt, Rod Stewart (Tonight's the Night), Barbara Streisand (What Kind of Fool and Woman in Love), Luther Ingram (If Loving you is wrong), Joe Cocker, Paul Simon, and many others of the era. Check out his wikipedia page en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Carr and the youtube channel Char Carr kzfaq.info/sun/PLl7YLiRqwQfFoh7DFEINsdebU3-ZDAjkX for more links to his music. He will be truly missed. Our heartfelt condolences to his wife Charlotte and son John. Jamel, play some more songs Pete was on, as a tribute for us all! And thank you for your uplifting spirit you share with us everyday!!!

Hands down, my absolute favorite Bob Seger song. My goodness. It never gets old. The voice, the story, the music and that guitar, YES!

Till it Shines is another great example of his storytelling skills! He is just phenomenal ♥️♥️♥️

Such a great song. One of my all time favorites

One of my all time favorite songs.

One of my favorites. Bob is so underrated. The giant of the 70s❣️

Missing one of his best ever “Roll Me Away”

We've Got Tonight!

That's when music was music and musicians were real musicians...no autotune just raw talent.

I don't want to be that old dude who hates everything new, but just listen to the top 10 songs on the charts today, and then listen to this music. It's not even close to the difference and the longevity of these songs. Thanks Jamel!

Hope you got decades, because that's how long he's been crankin solid tunes like this out. Ha ha Thanks BoB !!!!

Thank you for your reaction to this song. It brings back bittersweet memories. Blessings to you.

He wrote this about his hometown of Ann Arbor, MI.

I love it when other people, especially from today, can appreciate good music.

This song and "Night Moves" are so beautiful and poignant, so evocative of a bygone era. Both songs make me cry more often than not when I hear them.

Bob Seger "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man"

My favorite Seger track. Never gets old. Lyrically, composition wise, performances...just perfection.

Jamel I do believe you are my favorite reaction/review person on the internet. Your song selections, your soulful appreciation of the music, and your mannerisms all capture the essence of the song you are listening to. You were born to do this. Thanks man!

“You’ll accompany me” gotta give it a listen Jamel!

He sounds just like this in concert. I can remember who I went with to see him.. Thanks for memories! Enjoy, He has so many more.

I was 21, in the navy, in San Diego. Used to go to a topless bar where my dream girl worked. This song brings back those sweet memories as I approach 70. From time to time I've wondered what became of her. Thanks Bob.

I never thought of it like that before. Kenny Rogers and bob seger. They can tell a story like no others. There is a handful of story tellers. Them 2 don’t take a second set to no one.

One of my favorite Seger songs. Evocative, desolate, with one of Bob's best vocals.

For a singer with some soul you should try Blood Sweat and Tears. You've made me so very happy, Spinning Wheel, and God bless the child will get you going

Welcome Brother. To my, all my friends and families world. I remember where I was when I first heard Night Moves. 15 years old sleeping on our couch at home, it was raining, the stereo was low. The song came on our one Rock station coming out of Birmingham Alabama. I was mesmerized. I remember thinking, what was that? I will never here it again! That seems funny now. The D.J. immediately played it again, I bought the album at The Dickory, little shop on the Strip at the University of Alabama. I am 60 years old, still have that album.

I remember this song when we saw The Distance tour in 83 - the whistling, shrieking, and yelling never stopped the entire show, no matter how mellow the song! Back then people did A LOT of tailgating/partying before concerts! I never experienced any crowd like that to that extent except for Bob!! What a great show!

You mentioned "Her Strut". That's another good one. Also "Betty Lou's getting out tonight"

"Till it shines, Ship of fools, You'll accompany me

Such a lovely song, finding beauty where some others might only see grime or despair. Some might see strippers, but Bob sees "ladies."

Hey J, I see you're digging uncle Bob, this guy helped raise us thru the 70's, a true rocker who has paid his dues, a national treasure, and the pride of Michigan.

Thank you for your reactions to Bob. I've heard these songs for most of my life, and loved them all that time, but to see someone listen to them, and appreciate them for the talent involved and the excellence of the performances, brings a smile to my face. I'm glad you said something about the fine musicianship in the songs, because I've grown old listening to these songs, and I've realized that I just expect the musicianship to be this good, because back in the 60's, 70's, and 80's, they had to be that good to be successful. What you say is great playing is, but I've kind of forgotten how great it is, because I know it is that good, it's just normal to me. But watching you and how you listen to and appreciate how great they are playing, makes me really re-appreciate how great they are, not just Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, but a lot of them. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Thank you for your reactions.

One of Bob's best. Brings back a flood of memories. Thanks, man.

In a world of chaos, watching your reactions makes my day better, thank you for being real! It's a great thing to forget about everything while watching you

I love that you are finding music that I love. This is one of my dad's favorites and the soundtrack of my youth was Segar, Marshall Tucker, and others. I still love to hear this music.

Even his version of The Little Drummer Boy is amazing. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear him sing. So glad I got to see him twice before Bob called it quits.

One of my all time favs! Makes you feel things from the first lick on that guitar!♥️

No other rocker does nostalgia with the emotional impact and lyrical quality of Bob Seger.

Bob should be getting so much more recognition and accolades while he's still with us. He blew the roof off of the Kennedy Center Honors when he performed Heartache Tonight at the Eagles induction ceremony. He's a living legend and needs to be respected as such.

You need to pick anything on the “live bullet” album. Will not disappoint. Love your channel

"We've got tonight."

Hey Jamel, soooo glad you made your way to this song by Bob Seger. As one of my favorites, Main Street hits you in the heart. The music and lyrics take you into the tavern, makes you feel the love and adoration. It's sad and smooth and smokey. An absolute masterpiece from beginning to the end.

Jamel, I was SO excited to find you’d done a reaction to this song, it’s one of my ALL time favorites. I was born in 1970. That guitar sends me straight up to the sky and makes me wanna fly free, it just sings!! I got chills all over my arms watching your reaction, I love them all, but this. is. my. FAVORITE. Thank you!!

I love reaction videos and Sir, you're my go-to reactor. I love how much fun you're having on your musical journey. Keep up the good work.

This is about Main Street in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Home of the University of Michigan. Bob and I's home town!

One of the greatest song writers ever. A lyrical genius

Soooo Veryyyy Gooooddddd! Brother, got to hear “You’ll Accompany me” and “Fire Lake”!

That guitar does indeed sound like it's crying.

Bob Seger is one of the few singers that I can play his music to help me cope with life. He always has some answers when I'm looking for them. And this is my favorite song that he did. Thanks for reviewing it.

Bob Seger makes me nostalgic for my childhood. My dad didn't speak much English but he always had the radio on in our house. I grew up on Bon Seger, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash and Louis Armstrong. My dad passed away after suffering the indignity of Alzheimer's but I hear these legends and their music and I remember my dad being young, strong, proud and respected. Thank you for reminding me of that time, of my dad.

"Katmandu" is good too

The most emotionally compelling song ever written about a boy lusting after a stripper.

The guitar in this song just grabs my heart! Definitely my favorite Bob Seger song!

Oddly, I didn't fully appreciate Bob back in the 70's when these were mostly released. They were just ok. They seem to have more meaning now, and you have a great way or pointing out the richness of these old songs and their artists.

Thanks so much! Sorry I didn't wait one more day. As usual you did the song justice.

Love that you love our Brother Bob, Bob Seger, 🥰 Truly s legendary artist, as well as his Silver Bullet Band. There aren’t enough wonderful adjectives that describe Bob and his band. I’ve loved them from day 1, and still adore them today. Bob had/has the most incredible raspy soulful SEXY voice! He sounds as great today as he did back in r ted he say!!! Will always love me some Seger!!!

Being from the Detroit area, we got to see him play at our school dances, live. Our homeboy 💙

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to Bob's Roll Me Away!!!

I'd stack the Silver Bullet Band against any backing band and most headliners.

Mainstreet my favorite Bob Seger song bringing back memories of warm summer nights in the great 70s ❤️

Bob sang what he knew first hand and took us directly there.

This song, the epitome of "short and sweet". Love it!

My dad absolutely loves Seger! He says he fell in love with his music when he would go to pool halls in his youth. He’d shoot pool and listen to Bob Seger on the jukebox. Of course he passed that love of Bob Seger on to me! Loved the review man.
