What is Dicon?

Bob Seger is one of the most underrated musicians of all time. He has the rare gift of telling an engaging story through his music, and an amazing voice to drive it home. Dive into his catalog and enjoy.

Daniel, for almost 60 years (in the business) Bob has been known as one of the greatest storytellers in the business. Every song of his is an experience. He somehow meshed Country Rock/Southern Rock, Pop, Folk and R&B into a single style. I don't think the man ever had a bad song in his life. You could close your eyes, pick a song, react and have a smile on your face all day. The man is just pure musical genius.

Another artist that over the decades, you don't realize the sheer volume of hits. So well known, but in a way underrated.

Being that I am of the older fans of this song-Bob is the only one that can do this song.

"NIGHT MOVES"

One of Bob Seger's best!

Now that you've heard it, imagine the stage completely dark, then as Alto Reed hits the first note he is hit with a blue spotlight. When Bob starts singing, a red spotlight is on him. The rest of the stage stays dark. That was how I first saw this song performed live many years ago. An incredible visual to go along with a great song.

I watched him in 1989 and he didn’t sing a word of this song. The audience sang the entire song. He did sing the chorus tho. It was amazing!

When long hair, was first worn by men, we caught a lot of flack for it! Something the younger generations can't quite get!

YESSS!!! Try Night Moves my man!!! It will change your fckin’ LIFE!! With autumn closin’ in.. 🙌🏻🔥 Ps. Cheers man love your vids, you’re doing a great job!

All his songs are phenomenal

I got chills listening and I’ve heard this a hundred times. A great performance.

Bob's "Like A Rock" has the same intense feel in a way.

Love Bob Seger!! A great Rabbit Hole for u to explore!!👍♥️😁

Glad you finally discovered Bob Seger's music, I hope you continue with his great songs

What a voice! Lots of good Bob Seger songs...Night Moves, Against the Wind, Main Street...

Seger is a great story teller with his music. "Night Moves" is another great example, an older man reflecting back on a summer of change, then feeling his years upon him.

Old Time Rock & Roll, Against the Wind, Mainstreet, The Fire Inside, Like a Rock, Roll Me Away, Shakedown... It's like shooting fish in a barrel...you can't miss.

He performed this at his induction into “The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It was great!

Bob is a great story teller and that voice is the sweetness on that dessert you just had. Peace!

You got lucky to hear his best song at your first listen to him. He has plenty of songs worth pursuing. Try "Come to Poppa" or "Her Strut"!

‘Brooding’ is perhaps the word you were searching for .....Bob does a lot of that, and he does it brilliantly.

Bob Seger ♡sigh♡ a prolific writer of great music, great stories. He takes you there with him writing about life's moments, things we've all experienced. He's the everyday average Joe's songwriter. His songbook would be one to study. Please, more reactions to Bob Seger!

Glad that I'm not the only one who gets goosebumps at that sax finale.

An all time classic tune to be sure. Bob Seger a great story teller. Bob Seger is one of those artists almost everyone likes and enjoys.

When growing long hair was dangerous. Thanks Daniel. Great reaction.

Bob is a great American storyteller. Would love to see you continue exploring his long list of hits - prime among them: Main Street (an all-time favorite), Night Moves, Hollywood Nights, Rambling Gambling Man (his first hit from 1968, featuring his friend Glen Frey - later to be a founder of The Eagles), Still the Same, Traveling Man/Beautiful Loser (live - same album as Turn the Page), so much to enjoy. He's awesome live, but I'm pretty sure his farewell tour ended last year. I saw him in Florida for that tour, plus way back in '86 on Long Island.

Bob Seger. That's a treasure trove of solid old fashioned rock and roll you just tapped into. Great pick especially for an introduction.

I saw him and his band play at a fancy concert hall. They were so good that when it was over the crowd was still clapping as we all exited and got into our cars. Then everybody started beeping their horns in a joyful way celebrating the greatness of the concert that we all experienced. The pure joy continued to be evident in how everyone was driving by letting other cars cut in practicing good manners while waving and smiling at each other as if we all had a common bond of joyful humanity. I've been to a lot of concerts and never saw anything like that reaction after a concert. Side note: long hair back then was a sign that you were cool. Short hair was a political statement that you were part of the establishment. It was easy to spot a narc in high school and college - they all had short hair. Adults with short hair would always crack the same lame joke about "Are you a woman or a man?"

Bob Seger had so many great songs. I never heard this one until I got a request for it on my radio show. I was speechless at the end. Next should be The Load-Out/Stay from Jackson Browne, and We're an American Band from Grand Funk Railroad. Oh, and Seger's "Hollywood Nights."

I absolutely love Bob Seger, One of his best songs, Amazing, Brings back the fields, starry skys and bon fires...Love, Love, Love...

"Strut", "Old Time Rock and Roll" --- Tom Cruise does a lip sync in the living room of his parent's house in "Risky Business". Kind of an iconic scene. Wrestler Dusty Rhodes used it as his entrance music for a brief period in the mid 1980s.

I was fortunate enough to see Bob twice. His Live shows are off the charts.

All Right ! Bob Seger is one of the Greats in music. One of my all time concerts I have been to. Daniel you have to do Main Street. by Bob

Check Out "Beautiful Loser" "Night Moves", "Still The Same", "Against The Wind", "We've Got Tonight", "Hollywood Nights", "Like A Rock", "You'll Accompany Me", "Shakedown", And "Old Time Rock and Roll". Those are the songs that I remember, you'll like them too I think, lots of stories, strong lyrics, awesome music, and great vocals. Cheers

I saw him in concert back in the day. 🤯He is someone who gives it everything, like The Boss. 🙂

Bob Seger is one of my all time favorite artists. He's a profoundly great lyricist ( one of the best IMO), great singer, songwriter. The man has done it all; Acid rock in his early days with the Bob Seger System, and various flavors of rock, folk/rock, blues with The Silver Bullet Band and the Mussel Shoals Band. He OWNED Rock 'n' Roll radio in the late '70s to early '80s, just hit after hit after hit, all of them great songs, not fluff. And, by all accounts, one the nicest and humblest superstars ever. This is a deep, DEEP well of great music. Did I mention he's one of my all time favorite artists?

One of my favorite songs. Written before Seger became a star. About his experiences of the rigors of constant touring. Plaintive and moving lyrics and vocals. Dad said this was an FM radio staple.

Bob Seger has to be one of the best songwriters and has so many big hits, also he went to the same High School as my older sister in the 60s Bloomfield Hills in Mich. outside of Detroit.

An unforgettable tune, by a sage musician~

Bob is such a storyteller! To be honest, when I first heard this song as a kid, I thought he was speaking of the life of a trucker! Such a beautiful, mournful piece. Will forever be my favourite Bob Seger track. You'd be wise to continue down this rabbit hole, he's got so many amazing songs! Hollywood Nights, Strut, Against The Wind, Night Moves, Main Street, Kathmandu...that's just for starters.

The quote I have on my Skype page at work is "I wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then." - Bob Seger. It means so much as I get older. Bob Seger's lyrics are quite deep and relatable I won't tell you the song this quote comes from. It's a great song too, so I hope you'll hunt for it and give it a listen as well some day. Bob Seger is one of the best.

Bob Seger has an awesome raspy voice and a unique style. He has so many hits you could dive into. You picked up on the controlled power and intensity in this ballad and you're right - that is part of his style and when he lets loose he's got one of the most powerful voices in rock. You might try ballads like Main Street, Against the Wind, Like a Rock or Night Moves, or bangers like Old Time Rock and Roll, Fire Down Below, Her Strut or my personal favorite Katmandu.

Great Reaction, Against the Wind is another great Seger song

Bob Seger - from 2 + 2 to Night Moves this guy was the Detroit Boy that was always Running Against the Wind. Like a Rock he was Shamed by the Moon so Turn the page to find more hits.

Yes, my young Padawan, there are many other Bob Seger songs to visit. Night Moves, Against the Wind, Mainstreet, Betty Lou's Gettin' Out Tonight... That's enough to get started on, it's a deep catalog. I've heard the "Is that a woman or a man" line plenty, back in the day, usually a bunch of guys who wanted to start a fight, I guess they needed to prove they were more "manly" than a long-hair. It gets old real quick.

A rabbit hole his music is, Main Street, The Fire Down Below, Cat Mandu...more, more, more!!!

Love the sax. The instrumentation is so evocative of long, boring, weary days on the road. And then, at the end, psyching oneself up to do it all again. The Metallica version is a much more guitar heavy interpretation. And the tone is angrier and more exciting. It’s a good cover. The slow cymbal, the repetitive rhythm, and the ‘echo from the amplifiers’ are all in service of Bob’s vision for the song. He’s so cinematic. This was written in 1972 before stardom. Live Bullet was 1976 and was a breakthrough for him. Daniel, this is one only a few videos for Seger. It is worth watching. It was made at least 15 years after the recording, and its ‘current’ Bob on keyboard with b&w clips of him in concert in the 70’s. It’s an excellent video.

I once was on a drive for 12 hours and I threw in the Best of Bob Seger and ever song is great and fit the trip and my mood.

Bob didn't just sing a song he became it. Many great songs by the man. We Are Legion 👍✌️🧡 "roll me away" and "against the wind " two of my favorites

A song that really shows what life on the road is like is Jackson Browne's - The Load Out/Stay. You will NOT BE disappointed.

Bob Seger is a brilliant musician and storyteller. He has an extensive library for you to explore. I would recommend “Still the Same” or “Against the Wind” for your next pick. Great reactions. Love your channel

Few were as good as Seger at writing and singing but also keeping a regular man feel.

I saw Bob Seger at Richards, a small rock and roll bar in Atlanta in December 1975> There were maybe 20 people in the audience. Two years later I saw him at Georgia Tech Stadium and there were maybe 40,000. The difference was the release of Night Moves. Seger has a great voice and he's a great writer. Check out Night Moves, Hollywood Nights, Like a Rock, We've Got Tonight, Roll Me Away, Still the Same. He's got a great discography!

Daniel, im trying to feel what it must be like to listen for the 1st time, Music. Music Art- of a depth not equaled since Beethoven and his peers. From Chuck Berry, To Bob Seegar, to The Beatles and Pink Floyd and from Allman Brothers to Green Day. Aretha Franklin to Lou Reed, to Paul Simon to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and from Muddy Water and Billy Preston to the Grateful Dead. You are lucky---in that--you are one of the few people who are listening for the 1st time.....and diving deeper into the sound, the meaning.....and the influences that created this music. From the 50s to 80s.....and with some exceptions --more recent. A sound--an art----of humanity----not equaled---almost ever in human history. Jazz, Rock, Soul, R & B. Misery--poverty, war, nuclear weapons, womens rights, civil rights, the Vietnam war. These are the influences of this music. This art. This time. It is not only the music......and the words----it IS the words---the meaning..... Behind almost all of it---is a yearning for a peaceful, loving humanity. And yearning for that world. That is what----this explosion of art is about. I was lucky to have lived thru most of it. You ----are lucky enough to hear it--while some of its originators are still with us. It is not only the art---but the meaning.....behind it. The yearning for peace. John Lennon........perhaps the pinnacle of this art---perhaps.....with Imagine....and with Give peace a Chance---and others.....created something for all time. As did beethoven....His ninth....and his moon light Sonata. Good night.

I've always felt he was expressing the loneliness and repetitiveness of his chosen career even when he was a star. Love this song.

Night Moves, Hollywood Nights, he has a ton of hits.

Love Bob Seger. Saw him in the 80's in concert and he was amazing. Great Singer. Great Songwriter. Great Musician. Great choice of song to review. He's talking about his life on the road in this song and every musician you talk to says the same thing Bob's saying in this song. Being on the road in the 80's meant bussing from gig to gig. Not a lot of bands travelled by plane back then. When you're working over 300 shows a year you don't get much time to focus on family and free time. You're giving 24/7 to the "Performance". Even the Bob Segers and Metallica's have to pay their dues and that means time on the road. If you want to listen to another Seger classic try "Old Time Rock and Roll". Love your channel Daniel or Dicon.

Seger was another 70's artist that was played everywhere - all the time. Spent many evenings in a small group in someone's smoke filled living room with the tv on, but volume down and Seger playing. And like others, 'Main Street' and 'Night Moves' are MUST!

Bob Seger = Deep Rabbit Hole. You should definitely explore.

:) Bob Seger has one of the best rock voices. He's also a great at painting pictures with words. His lyrics always pull me in & it doesn't matter how many times I've heard the song. He's definitely one of our best musicians/songwriters... and that voice!! :) I'm glad you're introducing yourself to Bon Seger. Great reaction, Daniel! :)

This song always reminds me of the diner scene in "The Rose". A must watch movie for music lovers.

This live version was the version we all heard. My favorite Seger song was Night Moves, but this ran a close second. He had a lot of great songs, including Rock and roll Never Forgets, Against the Wind, Hollywood Nights, Ramblin Gamblin Man, Main Street, Beautiful Loser and Like a Rock. Just for starters.

Quintessential song. No bad songs with Bob Seger.

I was lucky enough to see him do this on his farewell tour last year. He was still killing it.

And if anyone is asking, in November 2020, my avatar is a picture of young Bob Seger. Too pretty by half.

Keep in mind....this is LIVE....not studio.... I was at this concert at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Alto Reed on sax, which is the best name of a sax player.

Excellent Bob Seger song about life on the road. Lyrics ring true! Been there done that back in the 70s and 80s. ♥️🎼🎶🇨🇦

YES!! One of the best voices....EVER! Powerful lyrics with a great beat! Play more of him!! PLEASE! 🙂 Plus, your interpretation was spot on!!!

Bob Segar was my first concert ever in 1978...I sat on the shoulders of a guy I knew about 4 rows from the stage and caught a broken drum stick between my fingers and still have it today...the best of all the concerts I have ever been to...I was 17 and it was amazing...this guy is an icon.

Beautiful song this is the best version and the version played on the classic rock stations this is one of those songs that every time it comes on you feel blessed to hear it

Bob has a passion that comes through his music .check out roll me away and against the wind and like a rock ! I got to hear him in high school in 68

Saw him live a LONG time ago opening for Styx and Bachman Turner Overdrive. Seger and the Silver Bullet Band stole the show! High energy solid rock and roll, minimal pauses between songs, high tempo, fast pace - took your breath away. Ideal examples of that style from his early days are Katmandu and Get Out of Denver.

Seger didn’t hit it big until this album Live Bullet He was big in Michigan but struggled to draw when he toured outside Michigan as he says in another song on the album I’ve been grindin 13 years but after live billet and his next studio album Night moves he was a headliner nationwide

Great song has a methodically building storytelling pace, Classic retrospective.

Bob is a great story teller. East of Omaha is Iowa, pretty much nothing but farm fields.

Eddie Money is another artist you should check out if you're not familiar with his music already. 2 tickets to paradise would be a good place to start. He has too many great songs to list.

Bob Seger is iconic. He brings the house down every time. Seen him do this song in concert in Detroit. The place was hypnotized by his presence. Glad you liked Turn The Page. There's so much for you to discover. I'm sure everyone has put their suggestions for you to react to, I'll leave it as it is. Any song you choose will be fine by me.❤

I grew up in northwestern Ohio and saw Bob Seger numerous times, starting in the late 60s when he was only known around Michigan and Ohio mostly. Actually saw him at the teen center in my hometown for 50 cents...we knew even then Bob was gonna be a star...

Bob Segers music is timeless. Great reaction.

You are extremely articulate and how you understand the music for being so young. "One" of the many, many fantastic songs by Bob. Mainstreet, Come To Poppa, Night Moves, Fire Down Below, Against The Wind, "just" a few! Do Come To Poppa first. You only heard a fraction of the grit and growl he has in his voice, he doesn't have one bad song. Oh yeah and the sax...💕

SEGER, yay!!!!! A ton of great songs. Against the Wind, Beautiful Loser, Come to Poppa, The Fire Inside, Main Street, Against the Wind and many more. Thanks for this, Daniel. The line about "is it a woman or a man" is referencing the cultural divide in the 60s when men and boys started letting their hair grow long. I had relatives who said exactly those words. In HS in the late 60s one of my best friends was jumped by some on the varsity football team because he let his sideburns grow too long. They shaved his head to make an example of him. Others that I knew were verbally and physically harassed, a few were beat up.

A great song by a great singer songwriter, Seger has a what i would call a "lived in" voice which takes you to the places he has been. Another you might enjoy is Jackson Browne's "The Load Out/Stay" which is his tribute to his roadies.

Love Bob Seger! Night Moves takes me back to my youth!

I mentioned Bob is like Steve Miller working mans band. They went to there audience. During the same tour they would book big concert venues as well as much smaller intimate spaces. They went to their fans. Been lucky to have scene both at least 5 times over the decades. Every time they played a much longer show than just about any other group. Loved their audiences and we felt it...

That is such a great song. I also like "like a Rock". My favorite Seeger song is "The Famous Final Scene". That song to me is hauntingly beautiful. It can make you think when your in the right kind of mood.

Down the Bob Seger rabbit hole you shall go. A huge catalog of great songs. They all tell a story. Night Moves, Main Street, Against the Wind, Roll Me Away, Hollywood Nights, Old Time Rock & Roll, and more.

7:18 "on the road again" Damn right it's live ! Mr. Bob Seger 😎🎙 Saw Bob & The Silver Bullet Band back in the early 80's What a concert he was running around the stage all night ! A concert I will never forget ✌😎 The man has enough energy for 3 men ! He is one of our best..... writers / story tellers / singers / performers You look up 70's 80's Rock-n-Roll.... You will see a picture of Bob Seger !

I saw them in the mid 70's, and it was one of those concert moments I will never forget. I was a rather indifferent Bob Seger fan, liked them but not a huge fan, (a lot of awesome music vying for attention back then) but I was on the crew that built the stage so I stayed for the show and while the show was good, this song was the tour de force. The Sax player had climbed up on the speaker columns stage left, so was maybe 30 foot above the crowd and ten foot or more above the stage, and first you heard those beautiful sax notes just floating on the night air but didn't see him on the stage and then the spotlights found him up on the speakers as he just reared back and let it wail. I wish I could articulate it better but it was awesome.

😍 💔🖤❤ " Roll Me Away" best road trip song ever! Sounds of my youth.

I'm from Michigan where Bob is from . he quit music for 10 years too be with his kids as they grew up. he than came back did about a 2 year world tour and now is retired.

Great song. Nine Tonight is one of the best live albums ever made. Damn, now I gotta go listen to it! :-) Good job, kid.

As far as I know, this is the released form of the song. Seger was so good, a live performance was as good as tape any day anyway. FIRE DOWN BELOW, FIRE LAKE, KATMANDU, NIGHT MOVES, LIKE A ROCK, are just a few of the many hits he had in a short span.

But this sax!!!

"Night Moves" was my introduction to Seger, ca. 1976-77, and still probably my favorite. It is a must do. The song is a nostalgia bit, as an older man looking back fondly on his younger years. "Against the Wind" is another great song .

From what I understand this song is about the life of a rock star, a rock star having long hair which is why they wonder is that a woman or a man. That life is not all that it is cracked up to be. It also tells how the long bus rides from town to town where his concerts are being held are long and hard to deal with at times. This song is just raw reality for what most of us see as a completely glamorous and dreamlike career. It is a simple song with a heavy subject. His voice is amazing and so is his band. Not too many rock stars have written songs about the reality of the road. Great song, glad that you liked it.

Against the Wind and Night Moves are both fabulous songs.

I keep hearing younger youtubers reacting to old music with its "powerful" . That is a beautiful element all the classics rock songs are all like that like that and every great band made their name on doing this every night

This dude live is just all that!!!!(First time I saw AC/DC they opened for Bob!!!!!)
