I was jamming out to Seger in '78 and my Dad said I'll be glad when you outgrow that shit! I'm still jamming out to Seger in 2024!! ❤

Great interview...I wish there were more "behind the scenes" interviews like this!

Wow...rough childhood....

That was no"ceremonial"plunger Dennis Archer pushed on. That was connected to Detroits' former nightclub district,which Archer FORCED dozens of taverns,marinas,breweries,poetry houses and nightclubs OUT of using"imminent domain"purportedly to make room for permanent casinos(which he VEHEMENTLY opposed in his campaign,but quickly implemented AFTER getting elected as mayor)and casino-operated hotels on the riverfront!! Yet this NEVER came to pass,and today,not ONE casino,or casino-operated hotel stands south of Jefferson!! I used to party down there OFTEN,while not being a disturbance to employees in the Central Business District!! Archer(no,not even excluding Mayor Charles Bowles)was the WORST mayor in Detroits' 323 years of existence. A mere PUPPET of L. Brooks Patterson

Damn a close angle;I stood less than 300 feet from the FRONT door when it came crashing down,as I'd SET at least 200 pounds of explosives into its' support beams,and was THE last person to ever walk inside this iconic structure!! I tried to outrun the huge dust cloud ROCKETING through downtown,but realized it was a futile effort,then braced myself,and let the cloud WHOOSH right over me!! And no,the People Mover wasn't shut down because of the building falling ON it,as it completely MISSED the track upon implosion,leaving a 200 foot pile of rubble looming over the track for a month,and every so often,a big chunk of debris tumbled off of this pile pile,onto the track,causing a disruption in service!! Trust me,I lost 20 bucks to a guy from the demolition company out of Pittsburgh,when he'd assured me the building would fall STRAIGHT-down,not even scratching your little monorail,and I told him:"Impossible."then he replied:"I got twenty bucks that says it won't even nick that monorail track!!! While I shoveled dust off of Library and Woodward streets,he approached me with:"I think you owe me a little something Tucker." On the office floors of this building,I found mint-condition"Yellow Pages" from 1947,1950 and 1975!! Never occurred to me to take them home with me!!

This sounds like Gloria by Them.

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.

Grew up in the Detroit suburbs way back when Bob Seger was formed so got to see young Bob and his band a few times for 2 to 3 dollars i call that a bargain.

Love when they show the drummer during a guitar solo 🤦

Dont make em like her anymore

Just saw him open with TV Eye at 77yrs old. What a Legend!!. Just think, Jim Morrison was still alive when this was recorded. 🤯🤯

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

Makes me want to shave.

My all time favorite artist. I *finally* got to see him live in 2011 (I truly thought it would never happen!) Totally worth the wait. I lost my h.s. best friend a couple of years ago. She used to lend me her ID so I could dance the night away at my very first/fav bar. Our anthem was Old Time Rock 'n Roll (live version). I can still see my gypsy soul friend rocking out to it on that dance floor. There's not a person in my life, Bob doesn't know. He's always been along for the ride.

One of my first memories of music (or anything really) is hearing Mainstreet. I guess I was around 2 years old. My parents had the album, and it was my favorite song. Still love it!

This is just so gd good!!

❤Bob!!! My son plays BOB for me all day for my birthday!! We jam to him in his truck !! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Bob was wrong about rock n roll.... it's about dead today.

Just found this song and I love it--what does SRC mean?

I grew up in Detroit and had the pleasure of seeing Bob many times.

I was young when Seger was at his best and he is incredible. A great songwriter/ singer from my hometown.

I've told people that before Silver Bullet there was Bob Seger System.. they had no idea! I had the "45" of Lucifer... hearing that voice come out of the young Bob Seger is amazing!!!

Bob Segar God Bless you.

Does anyone remember him living in Grosse point Michigan ?? Some people think he was raised in Ann Arbor. Please help me set them straight.

Heard this on AM radio as a child. Hard rock ever since.

❤ this song! It's funny that the stations wouldn't let them play live! No symbols being hit? John Fogerty, are behind stage belting out background vocals! ? Such good history about this song!

My Grandfather, my Dad, & my Brother all retired from the Rouge Plant. Three generations - Wow..............

Bob’s voice just got better as he aged. Always hated the sound of the organ in early rock days.

I remember as a kid, hearing about the naked girl behind the door, but never saw it. Some kids back then claimed they saw the uncensored version. I was skeptical. Maybe they did

I’ve seen the unpredicted boob version many times

wild how he doesnt speak at all like his singing voice

I was in Kathmandu ( Nepal) when I heard Seegers Kathmandu! Total Rock and Roll!

This guy looks like our Ricky Charvais,,same smile and laughter.

I lived on the lower east side of Detroit in the 60's and 70's as it continued to decline. Really rough neighborhood. Not far from the Vanity Ballroom. Bob Seger and other Detroit artists were just started out looking for recognition. Raw Motown. Saw them at the Grande and Vanity. $4 for a table of 4 and a pitcher of beer for a 4 or 5 hours of rock and roll. 16/17 at the time and no one ever carded us or our girlfriends - just happy to have the business. Saw him twice. East Side Story Persecution Smith, Heavy Music, and more. Seger spent time in the summer at his parent's 2nd home near Lexington...only a mile from where my relatives had trailer for the summer. Old stuff is indeed the best.

Great video! Wonder where this was filmed? Heard that guitar was stolen or came up missing a few years back, if true hope he gets it back…

He's only 5 years older than me, so I grew up listening to his music from an early age, and he's always been one of my favorites

My favorite song of his by far is "her strut", although admittedly, it's not the one that launched his career

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

😅😂😅😂

There are sooo many great songs in Bob's musical catalog. One of Seger's song really reflected my life at one time, called "Down on Main Street". Reminded me of Dearborn Avenue, which was the main street through my Delray neighborhood in SW Detroit. Bob Segers music will always bring back someone's memories and describes somebody's childhood neighborhood. Very down to earth guy.

One of the greats one of America s most talented singer songwriters

Great stuff. I'm surprised this even has survived over the years. Anyone know where this originated ????

I saw Bob Seger down in Florida over 20 years ago and he did three encores because he cared so much about how the people felt and that they wanted more what a great guy and what an incredible concert.

Holy shit! Was this discovered along with the dead sea scrolls!!!?

“The Man” !! 🍃✨❤️✨🍃

Why isnt this on spotify? Its like the song doesnt exist

THE best music came out of Detroit and the Midwest. Swingin' Time was simply dancing and pure fun. Bob Seger was a Michigan staple and legend. You understood the words and it was pure talent. Didn't need computer enhancement. We had the best of times. Cherish the 60s and 70s.

Two things: 1) I remember watching this episode when it first aired and it was one of my favorites of the entire Costas era and 2) 10:47 is exactly what's come to pass. Rock is only played on oldies stations now

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