lol DeanWinchester1979 awesome youtube username! the song videos yo upload are so Dean, im subscribing, for good music and cuase Dean Winchester kicks ass!
Reminds me of being a child! My father would put me in his truck and we would drive and drive....Ironically I still do it when..... Love this song!!!!
@FloridaGirl46 lol, I know, that's why I said, I'm a metallica Fan but I have to admit that Bob adds a feeling to this beyond any cover, meaning that No cover could match bob Seger, XD , but I didn't explain it properly hehe.
Most musicians are known for their technical skills. Some are known as songwriters. Because they were amazing for the songs they wrote. This didn't exist, and then Bob Seger did a thing.

i am very luky to have the oppertunty to cut his grass.hes gotta great place here in canabus, rite on the lake., see i have to cut his,cause hes never there. theres always people there,but never him,lol. 11yrs. ive seen him,lol, but its all good.
Bob Seger has soul, talent and class. He may not be my favorite artist ever but I'd never compare him to anyone.
Metallica is funny how against the theft of music they are but I can't think of ANY other band who has covered more songs. (Garage Days, Whiskey in the Jar, Turn the Page, Anything written by Dave Mustaine)
@mywotzone Dude no... Your comparing Bob Segar to the biggest metal/rock band in the world. Don't get me wrong I like Bob Segar but Metallica has had more hits, waaay more record sales and way more success. Don't hate them for covering the song. They obviously have good taste in music...
@TheMetal4Life333: um Metallica has sold more records, for sure, but more hits? If by hit, you mean a song that gets played on the radio and makes the top 40, Seger wins hands down. "Night Moves", "Turn the Page", "We've Got Tonight", "Against the Wind", "Old Time Rock and Roll," "Still the Same," "Mainstreet," "Hollywood Nights," "You'll Accompany Me," "Shame on the Moon" and "Like a Rock." He even co-wrote "Heartache Tonight" by the Eagles. But yes, Metallica has been more successful.
I like Metallica's Turn the Page, it's one of my favorite songs, but it would never exist without Bob Seger. So grow up kids and open up for different sorts of music :D
Metallica is a very good band, but when it comes to this song "turn the page" this is and always be bob segers song. If i made anybody mad at me im sorry for it
I remember hearing this on the radio. I recognized the lyrics but not the voice :) Metallic from Bob Seger. Both sounds good. Metallica's version has the very similar sounds but more of their genre.
Back In 72 is one of his greatest. I about jumped out the damn window when, after years of searching, I finally found a vinyl in a flea market in Ohio.
I like how the piano is more prominent in this version, as opposed to the live version from Live Bullet. I like how the sax plays more of a counterpoint to the piano instead of taking the lead as in the live recording. Oh yeah, 3 years old, my parents had me there, Cobo Arena 1976 Detroit, MI. Sure wish I could honestly remember it!
Well Mr Seger has been rockin for 45 years, maybe Metallica did one song better than him. Certainly Kenny Rogers did not! Have not heard too many even trying to copy him. Bob Seger has been a living myth for a long time. He is even older than Neil Young, who I also think is a great performing artist.
Turn the page; find out what happens in the next chapter, for better or for worse.
I'm sure as talanted and proud as he is (and for good reason), Seger probably wouldn't want us to dwell on old songs only to let it overshadow what could potentially be the next Guns N Roses.
Respect and love the oldies, by all means, just don't let nostalgia cloud your judgement. There are people with talent out there who believe they don't, and if we go on like this, music will die to money and corporatism.
Metallica version has more feel than this 70s version. Thanks to Kirk Hammett. Player with less technique but create incredible feel ! No wonder Metallica is famous. It is all about feel of the song for an average fan, not some weird ass riff Dave Mustaine plays with his pinky
@memooooos Do not make it your own, the song was Segars, and that is how it was meant to be. I am so tired of ppl trying to remake songs. Metalica sucks
my best friend of 40 years died at the age of 55 on sept 10...he asked me to play this song at his wake if he died before me.....we cranked it....mike dennis rip....to young to leave us.....
Awesome! radio always plays the live version but one night about 14 years ago i was working 3rd shift in a factory and they played this version on the radio. I've never been able to find it anywhere and I'd only met a couple of people that confirmed I wasn't crazy and a studio version existed. Thank you so much for posting, and proving I'm not crazy (about this anyway)!!!!!
finally a good version... being at a concert is nice, but if im listening to this at home, i dont need to hear people whistling, etc... (total garbage)... 5 thumbs up
This is one of the best songs ever made. I first saw Bob Seger System back in 68. My brother and me loved all his music. I had to lay my brother down a few years ago. Some friends of his sang this song at his funeral. As I was leaving town this song came on the radio... I had to stop and pull over because my eyes were running a bit. When ever I hear this song now i Think of my brother... I will always miss him and love this song.. Rock on Bob..
wow i've searched a LONG time for this, happy to finally hear it. it doesn't hold a candle to the live bullet version, but i'm happy i've finally got to hear it
Admittedly, even though it sounded beyond familiar, I did not remember Bob's doing this song. It did make a very sad impact when Metallica's video came out long ago (I am a fan of both, and think both are equally great.) My question....I tend to analyze things to death, but I want to know...is Bob singing about life on the road as a band performer, or is the meaning closer to Metallica's interpretation? Can anyone advise me? Thank you for your time! (and thanks for posting this GREAT TUNE!)
@DoubleRushBand On the live version you don't hear the piano and the sax is much louder. Don't know. My first time hearing this version. They are both great if you ask me.
@Millikay You remember the live version, which, in my opinion, was much better. I live in Detroit and we saw Bob live even in Highschool when he first started. He always does better with a big crowd!! This is still one of his greatest songs!! The man is awesome!
doesnt this remind ya of a rainy day and extremelly lonely maybe a depressed day of a lost love one ? with the setting of a old smoky bar with neon lights with a cold beer with a shot of tequila with it?? thats what sets the mood for this song. then the song ends and the next one is old time rock and roll. so cheer up and let the sun shine through while dancing in youre bloomers like tom cruize did. lol great songs for everyday feelings. godbless.
This song always brings three words into my head. FUCK LIVE BULLET. Why? Because that particular live version of the song is AWFUL in comparison to the studio version.
@kinginsomniac I agree. I like this better. In fact this is my first time hearing the studio version. It's much better, more peaceful. I don't like that loud saxaphone in the live one, doesn't fit the song very well.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. Have not heard the studio version since about 1979/80 on the AOL radio station in Orlando. Back when there really was AOL radio.
This version is incredible. So simple and raw yet at the same time perfect. The live version pales in comparison to this. Thanks for posting because I have been looking around forever trying to find this after hearing it a year back for the first time and hell I am 40 LOL.
Like so many others that have commented, I too searched a long time for the studio version of this song. Thank you so much for posting! I find I must disagree with some of the comments I read while quickly scanning the page, I prefer the live version that appears on the Greatest Hits album - but this version certainly isn't a disappointment.
I like this version better than the live version. I have the LP of Back in 72,
Brand New Morning, Noah, and Mongrel.
I've also got a cool Lp that has his early singles on it like East Side Story, Vagrant Winter, Very Few, and the studio version of Lookin' Back. He's got so many great songs most people have never heard.
thanks for posting this song and video, been looking for this version since 1980. thats the last time i heard it. live bullet wasent the first version.
that would be great dean, been a seager fan forever. been hooked after my first ever rock concert at the garden. that was the tour that beacame his second live album nine tonight. have loads of his early stuff on vinal, contact 7, mongral and smoking ops the seager system great old stuff, bob has a new on the old 60s stuff comming out soon, a cover of long time coming, sam cook, love the if i were a carpinter and love the one your with stuff, thanks dean.
@tomtheyank1 Wow! I have always loved Seger myself. My dad used to play the Seger System back in the day and I've always enjoyed old Bob I'll send you a link to the song and the album in a few.
@tomtheyank1 I saw him in concert after a bet with Mother. She wanted to go to yet another Jimmy Buffet concert; as it turned out, we were able to make both. It was in the days before the concert venue sets as they have today - much more laid back... I miss those days. I actually bought the album (vinyl) from this concert that night.
@DeanWinchester1979 Thanks as well these progressive classic rock station runs the live version in the ground { don't get me wrong i like the live version & i have the album } however the studio version is just as good.
ive heard this was re released on the B side of like a rock ..remember when you could get the single on cassete ???.. ive been looking for it but havent found it yet ...id give anything to hear Noah, brand new morning, back in72 in thier entirity.. i never have .
i cant help you find the cassette but i can find and remaster Noah , Brand New Morning , And the Back In 72 Album If you want me to and ill send you a link to download
If you google the name of the albums plus the word "blogspot" it will usually bring up a filesharing site that has those albums. That's how I got to hear brand new morning and back in '72.
This is just plain off-the-meter. So much better in my opinion than the live version that is overplayed on the radio! Thank you for taking the time to post this.
I look online to find rare songs it took me forever i can't tell you where i got it because i can't remember it was hard to find, i could give you a link for it if you want to download it I'll create it myself so you don't have to worry about virus's, if you want a link hit me up and I'll send you one.
yeah could i get that link as well very rarley do i ever get 2 hear this version and i like it muchbetter then the live silver bullet one thats always played

doesnt this remind ya of a rainy day and extremelly lonely maybe a depressed day of a lost love one ? with the setting of a old smoky bar with neon lights with a cold beer with a shot of tequila with it?? thats what sets the mood for this song. then the song ends and the next one is old time rock and roll. so cheer up and let the sun shine through while dancing in youre bloomers like tom cruize did. lol great songs for everyday feelings. godbless.

This song always brings three words into my head. FUCK LIVE BULLET. Why? Because that particular live version of the song is AWFUL in comparison to the studio version.

@kinginsomniac I agree. I like this better. In fact this is my first time hearing the studio version. It's much better, more peaceful. I don't like that loud saxaphone in the live one, doesn't fit the song very well.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. Have not heard the studio version since about 1979/80 on the AOL radio station in Orlando. Back when there really was AOL radio.

This version is incredible. So simple and raw yet at the same time perfect. The live version pales in comparison to this. Thanks for posting because I have been looking around forever trying to find this after hearing it a year back for the first time and hell I am 40 LOL.

Wow, never heard the studio version. The piano adds a LOT to this tune. Thanks so much for the upload!

Like so many others that have commented, I too searched a long time for the studio version of this song. Thank you so much for posting! I find I must disagree with some of the comments I read while quickly scanning the page, I prefer the live version that appears on the Greatest Hits album - but this version certainly isn't a disappointment.
And once more, thank you so much for posting.

I like this version better than the live version. I have the LP of Back in 72,
Brand New Morning, Noah, and Mongrel.
I've also got a cool Lp that has his early singles on it like East Side Story, Vagrant Winter, Very Few, and the studio version of Lookin' Back. He's got so many great songs most people have never heard.

DeanWinchester1979 2 years ago
@tomtheyank1 I saw him in concert after a bet with Mother. She wanted to go to yet another Jimmy Buffet concert; as it turned out, we were able to make both. It was in the days before the concert venue sets as they have today - much more laid back... I miss those days. I actually bought the album (vinyl) from this concert that night.

If you google the name of the albums plus the word "blogspot" it will usually bring up a filesharing site that has those albums. That's how I got to hear brand new morning and back in '72.

This is just plain off-the-meter. So much better in my opinion than the live version that is overplayed on the radio! Thank you for taking the time to post this.
