robert plant could never match this version even though he is considered one of the great voices, which i do think he is but this is just too dam good! :)
I've heard this song and i still like Waylon Jennings the best, i like Bobs singin but can,t stand all that organ music.I always thought Bob Segar was the best Rock singer ever. what a voice and wrote songs that will be played forever. I'm glad he findly made the hall of fame. What took so long? He should have been 25 years ago, i thought they were waiting 4 him to die. I rate this song A++++++++++++
I just seen him and he was AWESOME, If you get a chance to see him in concert, do it. What impressed me more than anything was, he appreciated his band and the fans. He would thank everyone after each song.
@TheLukdog ANOTHER TOUR? This is it. See him while you can. I saw him at Staples in December. Only my 2nd show for my favorite performer. And it rocked!
PS. Yes, what took the hall of fame so long? Bob is definately legendary!
I remember going to Livonia Youth Incorporated dances in the mid 60's. Bob Segar was a regular and everyone who heard his sound and danced the night away knew he was gonna make it big time. Without a doubt, he's the biggest music name Detroit ever produced.
This sounds best by Bobby Darin,though this sounds good too.I love Bob Seger.He gave me a Baseball cap,while we were standing in line at Two Guys from Italy's Pizza,in Hollywood,years ago.It said on the front of it:Peppermint Patty. I said he had a cool hat,and he said yeah,but it would look better on me.And,then he sat it on my head. Lol! This was in the 70's.(I just aged myself,....Oops!)
Just saw Bob and his Bullets last Friday night. Even at 66 he had 12,000 people singing and dancing in the aisles! Never stop touring Bob, and telling your stories of life on the road.
Smokin' OP's is a masterpiece. Seger rocks like crazy from cutwater to wake. If all you've ever heard is Turn The Page, Against The Wind et al, you will be overwhelmed by Smokin' OP's. Granted, it's a cover album, but what a cover album.
Oh what emotion, what true gut-wrenching singing! I have followed Bob Seger since the late 60's (Ramblin, Gamblin Man) and there is not a singer anywhere who can touch him. Toss in the Silver Bullet Band and one gets perfection. He's still out there singing and sounds great. About the only other person I would pay to see these days besides Bob Seger is Delbert McClinton. Wow--I love this song!!!! Thanks for posting.
A true AMERICAN icon. Thank you for sharing...I forgot how g-damn good this version was...and Bob, thank you most of all. Your music still brings me joy!
I think the improvised lyrics work really well, and I'm buying this album, having never really come across Mr Seger before. The Bobby Darin acoustic version is still my all time favourite though. Must be one of the most covered numbers in history.
I adore Robert Plant and absolutely love his version of this song. But I gotta go with Bob Seger with this version. He just owns it for me. Nothing against Plant, but Seger's souls shines in this one. But love both singers.
@pocahontas0366 Seger is great i have almost every album he made, yes better than Plant but theres one cat out there that was as good if not better. Ronnie Van Zant original Lynyrd Skynyrd 70s. Dont rip me up to bad for this just my opinion. Love Seger but RVZ is the man.
@pocahontas0366 Terrific version, to be true. If you like this version, give the Small Faces version a listen. Very reminiscent of Robert Plant ... actually better. It's like this one, raw, stripped down, authentic, and VERY cool. Give it a listen and tell me what you think. I discover more music on this site than anywhere else/
Bob's cover of this song is smoking hot! I saw him in concert with a band called Brown Ghost in 1983 at a smaller, outside venue near Chicago with my best frind, Jim. J. T. Vincent....are you out there, James?
This is one of the great rock n roll songs of all time....the arrangement with Teagarden & Van Winkle stands the test of time. Seger's vocal and Skip's B3 just blow the lid off of what was originally a folk song. This is Detroit rock at its best.
All the "music" writers always rate Robert Plant as the greatest hard rock voice ever. Evidently they never heard of Bob Segar either. I think Plant is great, but he ain't even in Seger's league. Out of all the great characteristics of his voice, tone, key, incredible volume and power, his greatest ability may be his timing. On par with Elvis there.
@bigolyd you may not know it but Bon Scott is rated higher than Plant. Of course I am speaking only of ACDC with Bon. The newer stuff is not worthy. Sad. Steve Marriot's version of If I were a Carpenter( Small Faces) has a lot of energy and emotion. But I agree, Bob did a good job. Seems like all the good singers are from the 60s and 70s- some 80s then fizzeled and became hard to find any one with talent b/c of the idiotic music industry. You have great taste!
@bigolyd I totally agree. Plant has a great voice but Seger just has "it". You can just feel the passion in his voice. Always been one of my favorite singer and songwriters.
A one in a million singer/songwriter like this is what really makes dumbass shows like American idol suck so bad. Talentless idiots vocalizing to tracks, make a big load of cash in less than a year. Meanwhile, it takes Seger 15 years for people to discover him. This country is nuts. This song in itself is unbelievable, it is hard to find a truly bad version. I especially love Johnny and June's version. Even though Seger improvises the lyrics a little, this version is out of this world.
@bigolyd Amrerican Idol,a spin off of Brit Idol,is totaly backwards .They find talent to give them instant fame and tell them to hit the road for tours..
@bigolyd You read my mind. I watched Carrie Underwood sing "Go your own way" with Lindsey Buckingham here earlier and thought exactly what you posted. The sound of Bob Seger flushing a toilet sounds better than anyone from American Idol.
@bigolyd Yes, he was our (Detroit's) own secret for a very long time! He kept at it because he loved it, and when he finally hit it big he was almost 30 yrs old. He'd been on the road a long time. As a songwriter, I just can't imagine who has written more intimate, rocking, soulful songs than Seger. He is a blue collar guy and that's what we love about him. He's been there and remembers....
@bigolyd Many of us were blessed to "discover" Bob Seger from his first album. I lived in Central Florida and all of us rockers knew the great rocker from Michigan -- saw him in concert many, many times
Thank you for posting this song - I have never heard it before but, have loved Bob Seger for 32 years. Ever since (I was 11) my older brother brought home the Stranger in Town album. It was not until I was 18 that I got to see him in concert at Saratoga. I cried the entire time. It was awesome. I sooo wanted to be his wife. Silly girl!
If you can believe it, the entire album ''Smokin' O.P.'s" was recorded in the basement of a bowling alley, Pampa Lanes in Warren, MI. It had Skip Teagarden on organ and Alice Cooper's guitarist Michael Bruce on it. Best version of this song by far.
Amazing the memories this brings back! First heard Seger when he was still just a kid at a high school dance in GrandBlanc, MI. Have been following the man ever since. My concert journey's include stops at Sherwood Forest, Bay City Central High School, Cobo Arena . . . and I still have a guitar pick he handed me when I saw him at Sherwood Forest way back in '71. Will see him at Dow Arena at the end of this month. The man STILL rocks! Thanks for sharing this!
@GrannieSallie - we saw him at Dow in Saginaw, too! Still amazing after all these years. I don't have the history "with him" that you do, but have always loves his music!
@GrannieSallie - we saw him at Dow in Saginaw, too! Still amazing after all these years. I don't have the history "with him" that you do, but have always loves his music!
I once checked my record collection for all the Motown stuff and what I found between the thousends of soul records - this one from Bob Seeger. I think I bought it more than 40 years ago, because there is this tune on, which I liked most of the Four Tops.
Nice to hear this version now here - so fresh and nice. Not listened to it since 1972...
Growing up in Detroit, Bob Seger was a mainstay in rock. He played more shows in Detroit than anywhere and I saw many of them. I was lucky enough to be 16 and sitting 18 rows from the stage during the taping of "Live Bullet" at Coco Hall. Still one of my favorite memories of my teens.
This goes to show the chumps out there that BOB did a hellava lot more than,Turn the page,Old time rock'n'roll,or your favorite lame,bar band overplayed tunehere and you know the tunes I'm talkin 'bout
@mdh4747, This was back when Seger's music was organic. It's amazing how certain songs, like this, can inspire dozens of different artists to record their own versions of it over the course of 30 years.
Hard to compare to Tim Hardin's original...very different style. The original brings out the story more and the true feeling (as did Bobby Darin's) but this is Bob Seger all the way. Awesome interpretation. Seger has a great rock voice...one of the best.
I thought no-one was ever going to post this phenomenal verion of this song on youtube - thank you so much! It's a killer version, mainly due to Skip Knape's fabulous organ (if you'll pardon the expression!) Who needs a lead guitar when you can play organ like that? - so solid on the left hand and so bluesy on the right! In the same league as the Animals' "House Of The Rising Sun". I'm excited!
I just happened upon this version and I must say it's probably the best of all of them? and that's saying a lot, because I thought the Four Tops was the best until now.
robert plant could never match this version even though he is considered one of the great voices, which i do think he is but this is just too dam good! :)
