Bob Seger

[Snapolit1]

Now there's a badly underappreciated musical icon. Doesn't have the depth of catalog of say Springsteen, but has some truly iconic American songs.

Just listened to Main Streeet a few times. . . amazing talent. I'm sorry I've never seen him in concert.

[Having said that, if I never hear Old Time Rock n Roll again in this lifetime that's fine.]

Never a choice for me, Bob Seger every time.

B.T.

Have heard a few people over the years say his live shows are just ok, not great. I suspect you disagree?

I've never seen him in concert, but I see him every time I listen to "Turn the Page".

One of my favorites of all time.

Interesting mix IMO of some truly great songs -- Night Moves, Turn the Page come immediately to mind -- and some bad ones -- Against the Wind (ugh), Still the Same.

I remember hearing Night Moves for the first time and it was a revelation. Way up firm and high, an immortal line. Trivia -- what has he said was the "song from 1962" he was humming in the slow section?

I’m virtually certain Bob’s “catalog” exceeds Springsteen’s. Far better musician too. Trent King

I user her, and she used me, and neither one cared.

Oh, to be 18 again.

(I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then.)

I never knew that until I just looked it up. The song actually came out in 1963 and it seems like it would be a difficult song to hum.

I'm tired of looking at the TV news
I'm tired of driving hard and paying dues
I figure, baby, I've got nothing to lose
I'm tired of being blue

Oh, that's why I'm going to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here, that's what I'm gonna do.

Bradley Center in Peoria.1978 maybe? Bob and the Silver Bullet Band saved that song for their last encore. It was awesome.

Huh.

No mentions of Mongrel, Back in '72, or Seven.

So shocking.

Punch has done Bob a whole lot of disservice over the decades.

I think 78 was Night Moves. The first time I heard it, just wanted to go outside and run for the joy of being alive LOL.

This was a joy of the spirit.

Yep, right after Night Moves. Great album and great concert.

Since this thread drifted a little off from Bob - I would like to take it a little further.

If you haven't heard it - you should - River of Tears (Eric Clapton)

Sample of the beginning and gets better from there!

It's three miles to the river
That would carry me away
And two miles to the dusty street
That I saw you on today

It's four miles to my lonely room
Where I will hide my face
And about a half a mile to the downtown bar
That I ran from in disgrace
