“Is ‘Night Moves,’ all things considered, your best song?” posits Costas, his usual sports-broadcaster cadence uneasily downshifted into a more casual, conversational tone reserved for serious rock talk.“I don’t know, um,” replies Seger, age 46, his unnaturally dark hair and beard forming a quizzical question mark. “I don’t like to say this is better than that.”

No video here because this song isn’t online. Just imagine a very loud arena-rock song sung by a bearded Tina Turner.

I posted this to fb, and my uncle commented that he saw the Bob Seger System in 1969...during an afternoon assembly at his high school.
How the fuck do you go back to class after witnessing something like that?

Somewhere Seger described being a poor kid going to high school with "rich kids"---they portrayed themselves that way, and they had cool cars etc.---and still doing that when he suddenly got his first local airplay/hits, becoming this novelty celebrity, and the in-crowd, who had left him in the dust, were suddenly scooping him up, to be their status symbol/good luck charm, their golden mascot, him instead of fuzzy dice, I guess---and he wanted it! Wanted the acceptance, anyway.
― dow, Monday, 2 February 2015 16:50 (nine years ago) link
Think he was still mainly gigging, but some local airplay already.

i was smart and downloaded those videos before the inevitable take down.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 15:47 (nine years ago) link
arrrg fuck I wish I'd thought to download them.
Wonder if it was the tv station, or Allen Klein, or Seger himself. A friend of mine on Bob's suppression of his early shit said Bob probably doesn't want to hear "Man, you WERE so great 45 years ago!"
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 3 February 2015 15:58 (nine years ago) link
All of those videos are available on a DVD that came out in 2012 and was reviewed by David Fricke in Rolling Stone. So they're easily obtained. But yeah, I'd never seen em either!

Couldn't have been Klein--All Abkco controls re:Segar is the original Hideout/Cameo-Parkway singles from '66-67.
Speaking of the Hideout stuff, would you believe that a copy of "East Side Story" made it over to Merry Olde and into the hands of a Mod Band? It's true!

I can understand holding out against streaming services, but ffs, The Distance is out of print?
His management is obviously fucking up, but surely Seger must be somewhat aware of the deluxe boxes and vinyl reissues his contemporaries have been putting out. And if so, is he just thinking, "Welp, not for me"? If he's not careful, in a few years he's gonna end up like the Dave Clark Five -- once huge, now forgotten, due to factors that were completely and easily avoidable.

Gonna jump on this (not the yellow COLLECTIBLE one, the regular one). It's an encouraging sign, at least.

Bad News: The side that says it is "2+2=?" actually has "Seven Nation Army" on it.

this is a good sign though

The following Seger albums are now on Spotify and iTunes, Apple Music, etc., etc.:
Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, Beautiful Loser, Live Bullet, Night Moves, Stranger in Town, Against the Wind, Nine Tonight, The Distance, Like a Rock, The Fire Inside
On Spotify at least, some are credited to Bob Seger, while others are credited to Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band, so they don't all come up with a single search.

Ramblin' Gamblin' has actually been reissued on vinyl! We've got it at work.

The lead single from his new album is a Lou Reed cover

Getting reacquainted w/my early Seger vinyl, and wandered over to discogs to see about Back In '72...man, that's an expensive record! Cheapest one up right now is $60 (shipping included) from the UK.
