Seger told Bob Costas about the type of person in this song: "They're just very charismatic, but they have tremendous faults, but part of the appeal is the charisma. You overlook everything because of the charisma. That's a gift and a curse."

Bob Seger is just another example of Greatness coming out of the Motor City!

Isn't it amazing when we hear a song for years, never changing the channel, but never actually really hearing it - getting it? And then one day for whatever reason the tune just hits you. And it is suddenly one of your favorite songs.

I'm 24 and have been listening to Bob Seger my whole life. I can't remember a time when I didn't know his name. I got to see him in concert twice before he retired. He's still sounds amazing live. He is truly a legend.

Bob Seger We've got tonight, you'll love that one. Please

Bob Seger is one of those artists who I appreciate more the older I get. This might be my favorite by him, especially that piano at the beginning.

I learned of Bob Seger through my mother...She made me a fan of him, she now is in late stages Alzheimer's, but I can put on Bob Seger for her, and she can still sing along with him! Music is a true miracle, that a lot of people don't truly appreciate it for!

"Feel Like a Number" is a great Bob Seger song too

40 years of legendary music.....

He is still the same, just a little older and a little more gray.

I'd highly recommend Bob Seger's "Roll Me Away." It paints a picture of traveling through the midwest that is so relatable to anyone who's traveled across the plains up to the Rockies. (My family did that a lot, so my God does that song paint a picture. But really, all of Bob Seger's music evokes midwest life, the rust belt experience.

Bob Seger-Shame on the Moon, Fire Lake,Main Street, good shit.

Fire Lake or Against The Wind. Bob Segar.

I LOVE that you refer to him as Brother Bob! That makes me smile 😊

Knockin' them down tonight. Still many more classics to check out: Fire Lake, Sunspot Baby, Katmandu, Mainstreet, Rock and Roll Never Forgets, Her Strut, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man

'Roll me away".....Jamal, it's a somethin'👍👍

I'm 52 and my dad loved this music. He passed away. I miss him so much.

Speaking of Kenny Rogers and the gambler Kenny Rogers covered Bob Seger’s we’ve got tonight he did it as a duet with Sheena Easton they both kind of have that gravelly voice

You've just begun, this man has one hit after another.

I think he's singing to an ex who never settled down. He's kinda wistful and wishes she had chosen him.

" THE FAMOUS FINAL SCENE" 🎆 BY BOB SEGER 🎼🎵🎶

Buffalo Springfield "For what it's worth" Good song!

I had to stop and laugh. I saw you posted 5 Bob Segar songs and I said and there he goes down the rabbit hole. And that was the first thing you said. I couldn't breath!!! Laughing so hard

His song "We've Got Tonight" was covered by Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton.

Always the most heavenly voiced female background singers. They deserve some serious credit too..

You're discovering a lot of great music.

You have to do "Beautiful Loser". That's non-negotiable.

The reason he sounds familiar is because he been on pop radio from the mid 70’s until know, so many songs. Traveling man/Beautiful loser from live bullet.

One of the best songs ever...

Bob Seger "Live Bullet" is without question one of the greatest live albums ever. Truly magnificent and timeless

God I miss the 70's, what an amazing era in music!

I’m a Brit, now living in Australia but I used to travel to the US a lot for work. Over a 10 year period. This song brings back fond memories of rolling into a bar in Boise, Idaho on my own. I put this on the jukebox. Sat at the bar and then proceeded to have the best evening ever chatting to all the locals. One guy in particular I will never forget. Because I committed to saying I wouldn’t. He didn’t have much money and was on the down. But as he left the bar that evening, he turned around and said to me, “even with all that buddy, I’m still the same”.

I took the song to mean that they had everybody fooled but him. He saw right through them from the start.

This song reminds me of an older cousin I had. He could charm anyone. All these years later and nothing's changed.

Bob Seger is THE legend!!

Brother Jamel, Do you like deep lyrics? Do you like unexpected musical transitions? Do you like harmonies so tight they smack you upside the head and call you down to breakfast? I know you do, brother. Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young Start with: Carry On. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes Wooden Ships Who knows? You might even hear an organ taking you to church from time to time.

Blame it on midnight shame on the moon - - - good song - - there are just so many songs by Bob Seger that you would enjoy !!!!!

Michigan,s fav son right here baby . i met him a few times Super nice guy . Never call him Mr ,Segar . just Bob. and much like bands like metallica, slipknot ect . u feel his music .

I can see how he is describing each and every one of us. We're all playing out our version. And we really don't change.

Got to love Bob Seger you need to check out ( Fire Down Below ) without a doubt his best most definitely real world truth 🙊

“Come to papa”. What the hell am I doing awake at 2am watching reactions. Lol. Bob is so so great!

Jamel, two things scream Michigan to me. Wolverine football at the Big House and Bob Seger. Covid May keep me away from 110,000 of my best friends but I’ll comfort my soul with Seger. American icon.

Love the “bullet”... so underrated

My favorite Bob Seger tune. Just love it.

Thank you so much for digging into the rabbit-hole of Bob!! Love him❤🎶

Please do "Shame on the Moon", "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" and "Roll me Away"

He had his first hit as the Bob Seger System in the late 60's with "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man." Then the first half of the 70's he recorded just as Bob Seger. Then in 1976 he started going by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. But in the studio Bob would record some of the songs with the Silver Bullet Band and would record some with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section from Alabama. He recorded "Still the Same" and "Hollywood Nights" with the Silver Bullet Band but on the same album he recorded "Old Time Rock N Roll" with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. But then he would tour with the Silver Bullet Band.

I need some really rocking Bob Seger Betty Lou’sGetting out tonight Kathmandu sunspot baby

Love me some Seger any day !! Always on my list !!!

And Bob is still the same...smooth and bluesy!

His music is TRUE TO LIFE....Love this guy

You could react to every Bob Seger song and be amazed

"famous final scene","her strut","Betty Lou's getting out tonight","come to papa","fire lake","mainstreet" plus many more. Keep digging my buddy ☮️

Love the piano and guitar and when mixed with Seger's vocals this is brilliant!

My favorite song of Seger's. First time I heard it, I was swept away with it. It reminded me of a woman I knew....not a love, just the way she went through life. Scary, but she did know how to win.

The Fire Inside by Bob Seger. One of his late greats

Main Street is one of the songs that is the most personal for me. My dad and Bob Seger grew up in the same town in Michigan, ten years apart.

Do not forget Silver Bullet Band when you mention Bob Seger. They were/are one of the tightest bands I've ever sen.

This was my teenage years. Makes me sad and happy at the same time. Kinda breaks my heart.

"the trick you said never play the game to long" & "I caught up with you yesterday, still the same still the same, moving game to game, no one standing in your way" EXCELLENT SONG WRITING!!!

They played this song for dale Earnhardt on his funeral and the way they interpret it was amazing I will never forget it

To me, the song is about a father who is a gambler as told by the son he left behind.Bob Seger is one of the greatest storytellers I have ever heard.His songs are short lyrical movies.

You know it is great when he says very little, I love it ❤️ One of my favorite songs EVER.

Till it shines is my favorite Bob Seger song

For a real treat! “ LET IT ROCK “ BOB SEGER Recorded LIVE in Detroit! Has it ALL! CHURCH ORGAN. SAXAPHONE ! Rocks from start to finish! LIVE BULLET album! FANTASTIC !

You nailed it with your interpretation. Bob Seger once said the song was more or less "inspired" by his father, who was sort of a slick charismatic lovable loser conman charmer, moving from one thing to another. Seger said lines like "You always won everytime you placed a bet" and "You're so damned good no one's gotten to you get" was conveying the sort of inflated braggadocio his father would radiate when telling stories about himself (i.e., "I always win--everytime I place a bet--hey that's just me. I'm so damn good no one can beat me") and Bob Seger in that final scene (as you say metaphorically or literally) comes upon his father engaged once again in his razzle dazzle and is just done with him. I thought for years the character was a successful conman, but those lines like you always won...etc were Bob Seger sort of wryly or bitterly saying the equivalent of "Oh, yeah...sure you did." Years ago I thought "You're still the same--you still aim high" was sort of a compliment but I think it means like you aim high and you have absolutely no way to achieve it and you never do, tho' you brag about being the best and having one over on everybody. I couldn't stand this song when I was younger but now I appreciate how unique it is and how rueful he is about this guy

"Still the Same" is one of my favourite songs ever, glad you got around to it, I'm just 2 years late.

Jackson Browne next; ""Runnin' on empty", "Tender is the night", "Somebody's baby". "Friend of mine" duet with Clarence Clemons.

I'm loving this Bob Seger Experience!

One of my favorite Bob Segar songs of all time..

My favorite Bob song!💗💗💗

Marshall tucker band "Can't you see". You won't regret it.

One of those childhood songs that elicit an emotional response.

Do more Bob more Bob lol 😂😂😂

So glad you did this! My favorite Bob Segar song and brings back so many childhood memories! Awesome!

This is one of my favorite songs.

Procol Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale Paul Simon - Graceland Jackson Browne - Fountain of Sorrow Keep up the great work!!

I heard this song for the first time this weekend . Love the piano and the soulful backgrounds. It sounds so familiar 🤔 .

One of my all time favorite performers! Thank you! He sounded just as good when he retired as the day he started performing.

Little fun fact. He and Glenn Fry from the Eagles were very good friends and Bob basically hit Glenn started in the business. He did a tribute to Glenn during his farewell tour last year. Very moving!

Thanks. I didn't realize how Bob is one of my favorite singers! Man is he GOOD!

Bob wrote "Heartache Tonight" with the Eagles.

I am by no means wealthy, but I've been to the opera and truly enjoyed it, you dont have to understand every word its beautiful

Sure wish Jamel would have selected the video of this song sung at the 1978 concert at the Sports Arena in San Diego, CA. Not far from where he lives. I was at that concert. One of the best concerts I have ever been to & I have been to many. His smile in the video is just so amazing, you can tell he was just really enjoying what he was doing. Album covers just don't give you a glimpse into the type of performers they are, all performers are not equal.

Seger is not only in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , but in the Songwriters Hall also.

My favorite Uncle Bob song. And the one time I saw him in concert it was just about the only hit he didn't play lol. Still an amazing concert that I got to mark off my bucket list.

When I was in my early years this song reminds me of a woman I was totally in love with, but she never knew I existed. Every time I watched you play, I just turned my back and walked away. Because you're still the same.

Oh my gosh, go brother Bob ... so many top songs, so little time! 😉👋🇦🇺

My favorite Song.

Very underappreciated for a great singer from his era.😊

I've always taken the message of the song to be, no matter what you do, cash out while you're on top. Don't hang around and wait to go into decline. It doesn't last forever. Enjoy it while you can and can out while you have time to enjoy it.

Every time they were sure they had you caught, you were quicker than they thought., you just turned your back and walked.....Bob Seger was one of my favorite bands from the 70's.....Down on Mainstreet 'is another favorite. Good song choice tonight.

I am loving this journey with brother Bob. Ha ha, but seriously live Bob Seger

Hey Jamel, you are way past all in now Man! The fact that you are completely grooving on Bob Seger, to Zeppelin, to Carpenters, to RATM, you are into all quality now! Really glad so many people are enjoying your vids....Hoping for you to hit half a million subscribers! And I will be watching and waiting for Supertramp, Talking Heads, Bob Marley, The Cars, Roxy Music......plus going back and hitting more of the acts you have already done, Cheers!

All of Bob Segers music in great. I call his music riding or traveling music. Set and listen to music for the long haul.

GREAT song,,,, THANX for the memories,,,👍👍👍😎

It wasn’t just a “white mans song!!! This is a SOUL SONG!!!!!! We ALL can relate and LOVE BOB!!! One of the GOAT!!!!!! ♥️🌹🎶💯✍🏽

Your assessment of the song's meaning is spot on, Brother Jamal... Brother Bob is a great lyricist, always has been...do more Seger songs, he has a LOT of great ones!! Stay healthy!!

Bob Seger, a must if you're a Michigander along with Vernor's Gingerale! Coming from Detroit, he certainly was somewhat influenced by Motown, and the folk music that preceded. Blues, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, soul...The man has it all! Thanks for spotlighting my home boy! (Oh yeah, probably a few bikers too!)

So many songs for you to review from Bob Seger. Definitely an american icon in music.
