[Nigelg68]

wonderful...thats all 

[Bullettube]

Great post, I've always Bob's music but I was startled to learn that Barry Becket had died in 2009!

[kperk014]

@Bullettube Unfortunately true. He was true musical genius and you can hear his influence in the music of Seger, Dylan, Simon, Scaggs, the Staples, McClinton, Stewart, Chesney and you could go on all night with that list.

[Bullettube]

@kperk014  Now that you mention it, isn't it amazing how often a session player in a small studio will have such far reaching influence? Why is it that so often it's not the big studios with the big name producers that introduce the scene changing new ideas, but the quality driven session players, the back-up bands ( The Band!) and lone song writers that have the most influence? Is it simply that the big labels are driven by profit? Any way, thanks for the memories!

[kperk014]

@Bullettube You're right.All those big names didn't make the trip from across the nation and across the pond for the nightlife of northwest Alabama.lol As multi- Country Music Musician of the Year winner Mac McAnally said,there must be something in the water.If you want to make something really go just make the trip and put a little of that Muscle Shoals grease on it.Of course that "grease" is Mac himself and Beckett, Hood, Hawkins, Johnson, Hall, Oldham, Woodford, Ivey, Carr, Hinton, Ivy.....

[chance501]

@kperk014 You cant mention Muscle Shoals, and then do a list and leave out Ronnie Van Zant and Lynyrd Skynyrd of the 70s, man that hurts.

[kperk014]

@chance501 Sorry about that. I guess Skynyrd is just such a fixture in Muscle Shoals history that sometimes we take it for granted and they continued recording here on into the '90s.

[luvrockfor40yrs]

@chance501 first concert Skynyrd 70's later that yr. the plane crashed still have all my old albums.....his bros. not the same. sorry

[mydammit1]

what video?



[warflynn]

Just simply stunning!! Thank you Bob and thank you for posting this great Seger classic!

[akgoldie]

This is exactly why YouTube was created, for perfect, stunning fan videos like this-- THANK YOU!

[kperk014]

@akgoldie Well thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. A little flattery once in a while makes a man want to make a few more!

[MsLeen101]

Yes, thank you kperk014. I do appreciate all the trouble you went through to make and even label all the beautiful pics for this video. How wonderful of you. Thank you so very much for your thoughtfulness.

[kperk014]

@MsLeen101 I'm glad you enjoyed it. Makes me feel good to know my work is appreciated.

[19TommyT74]

great song writer .... great voice

[jboy1514617]

Saw many a sunrise through bloodshot eyes in my youth listening to this. This takes me back to a wild misspent youth and the hurt of screwing it up with the first true love.

[1234roadking1]

@jboy1514617 im with you bro-same story-man, i loved that woman-keep rockin

[suziQyooot]

beautiful !

[horseglu]

great drinking song. Where is that fifth! Last one up drunk as hell watching the sunrise with a bottle in my hand listening to this in Ft. Bragg. Damn I was a mess! I look at those days in wonder. So young and crazy waiting for war!

[diannemaryr]

This song wrenches at your heart and soul. It takes me back to high school. I danced to this song at my high school prom. I'm moving out of NYC to upstate NY. I'm from MA. I lived here 30 years. This is MY Famous Final Scene. Best song ever.

[akaRay44]

There is only one Bob Seger. No one ever wrote music like him and never will. 

[kperk014]

@tanjakofol  My pleasure, tanjakofol

[bluhvn100]

I never learned to do drugs . . . now I know why.

Nothing could deliver the kind of ecstacy as this song.

Thanks kperk.

[kperk014]

@bluhvn100 You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Let's just hope Bob never does what some folks do and re-record his songs. When you've got perfection, why fiddle with it? Some do and their songs lose that original magic.

[MrGuitarslinger624]

Beautiful pics of bama. great job on the video roll tide

[stickwalker]

Great collection of photos. It makes for a very good tribute video.

[kperk014]

@stickwalker Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[aman74324]

I'm 13, a girl, i have been listening to his music since i was very young:) and i still love his music, it always makes me happy :)

[kperk014]

@aman74324 Good for you! That shows you have your head on straight and will have a good life.

[ronjermy2]

bob seger will live in our hearts forever. a very soulful man. you can feel it. close your eyes and listen.

[nettiepaul70]

i dont care how many songs seger has and will record,you will never hear 1 not worth hearing over and over

[luckymouse1971]

Umm, Bob Seger isn't dead. He's currently on tour.

[quad1000]

@luckymouse1971: Umm, correct. He's not even on dead pools yet. I like some of his stuff, mostly the early tunes.

[kperk014]

@quad1000 Who said he was???

[prober45]

just killer!

[JFinSD2]

If you are at least 30 years old and can't relate to this song.....you may not have a heart.

[claypigeon77]

One of Bob's greatest and yet soooooooooo underrated,except to those who are true fans :)

[mymusic777ify]

i heard this song first time at the end of a relationship with someone i loved very deeply.the lyrics seems to tells my story word by word.i was heartbroken and this song helped me get through the worst period .thanx and long live bob!

[legendaryicecream]

hi guys, this is V.I.B.E., we’re a rapping-singing duo, and we’re trying to get started early so we can improve and make as much good music as possible before we become fully functioning members of society and all that stuff that really matters in life is bashed out of our brains by 9 to 5s.

But… we got 8 years to make this happen, so :D

come with us on the journey, check out our channel and help two 15 year old Freshmen in their goal of making good music for you. Thanks :)

[4677noel]

this is 1 of bobs best i love this song

[pivotmaster602]

love it! My yearbook quote back in 1981!



[jjm31usa]

There are so many great things about this song... but for some reason it is always the short piano melody at the very end that blurs my eyes everytime.

[jp00w5941]

@jjm31usa yeah know what you mean,not heard this song for years but the end bit still reduces me to tears.

[iaonationm7]

@jjm31usa WOW are you serious? Blurs my eyes!!! Did you fall and bump your head!!!

[segerrocks]

I love this song and this video, but s much as i do love it, I don't want o hear Bob Seger sing this on his new tour of 2011 starting tonight in Toledo, Ohio. He is seriously contemplating the end of his long journey on the stage. I know the tears will come if I hear this sung, because it will become a reality I don't want to face. I can't imagine not hearing Bob Seger singing in my lifetime.

[Clara00300]

this was played at my Dad's funeral on Monday.......broke my heart, can't bring myself to listen to it at the moment though. God Bless Dad xxXxx

[jp00w5941]

@Clara00300 me and my sister sent our Dad off to the tune of fly me to the moon.don't think i can listen to that again and it's 3 years ago

[buelligan1964]

Beautiful song Bob Seger is one of the best,

Great video too thanks for posting.

[reddnec]

Also a great burial song......

[buelligan1964]

@reddnec i agree my man, it will most definately be on my funeral disc for anyone that shows up for my after show party, lol.

[mymusic777ify]

This is the perfect song if you have broken up with sombody!

[sunshinegal915]

beautiful song.

[sunshinegal915]

beautiful song

[breffnipark]

' Take it calmy and serene '

this would blow you away !

[HighSpeedNoDrag]

I am going to need to light up "something" to this song.

[jsbach15]

Beautiful song and video. My friend went to High School with Bob. I have great memories of the old days of "Motown," it was magical then!

[OapostropheC]

Such an epic song!!! Thanks for the video, that was a lovely tribute.

[cleanandsober4ever]

Bob Seger is the essence of Rock 'n' Roll. I would definitely put 'nine tonight' in a time capsule. Never again will we see another artist like him, so lay back and enjoy his priceless tunes.

[ginagurl123]

wooooooow 1 person suxx ass

[kperk014]

@ginagurl123 I've never heard it described so eloquently! I agree.

[TheMrsJones4]

My husband played this song on a juke box in a truck stop and asked me to dance. We danced and he held me closer than he had ever held me. I knew when he began to sing to me as we danced that our marriage was over. Especially when he said its been a long time since you smiled. He knew he was my only love and that I wasnt his. We divorced in 2008 one year after my open heart surgery. He truly broke my heart. I love you Jeff Jones and always will

[9Ballr]

@TheMrsJones4 Damn, this may be the most poignant post I've ever read on YouTube.

[angelgrace12858]

Played this song over and over and over when my dad died. Years later and it still brings up memories and tears. The song is awesome.

[ArkRazor1]

First kperk014, I sense that there is some personal loss for you here; so you have my condolences.

This is one of the greatest songs ever written/recorded. How ironic, that I've only heard ONCE on the radio, and that was in graduate school in early 1978, on the college radio station at like 2 in the morning. When I heard it, I said, "I'm getting this album." It refuses the urge to be played over and over. You are satiated after hearing it once- until later when you want to hear it again.

[wakawaka09]

I broke up with a girl almost 25 years ago while listening to this song. The irony is, she recorded and then gave me the tape that was playing when we ended our affair. So Christine, if your still out there, I think of you often, I truly miss you at times, and hope that your life turned out as you hoped.

[merrymary2605]

puts me back to a different time and place, i think of you from time to time but do you ever think of me

[LouieWasHere66]

sing to not see to, typo Grrrrrrrr

[LouieWasHere66]

this is one of them songs you can't see to, one that you just have to sit and listen to and be at aww..............

[kperk014]

@LouieWasHere66 Seger's songs and vocals just fit the Swampers sound like a hand in a glove so perfectly. Too bad they drifted apart over the years.

[62Kimber]

great memories here!

[tda5dz]

i love the video,i was dennis lavon at q 107radio in 1984 and later downtown dennis brown at star 94 radio in 1998 .i love the shoals area , even thoughi grew up in tennessee., .you are from the hit recording capitial of the world,. u guys in the shoals don't know what u have there .when i was at star 94 i used to take the star cruiser out and drive by u.n.a. all the time. that was when we went on the air in the summer and fall of 1998.anyway thanks for the video.....

[kperk014]

@tda5dz Great to hear from you. Where are you these days? UNA was a great place before tanning beds too! Used to love to drive by the dorms on Pine St in Spring and see all the beautiful coeds on the hillside getting a natural tan. I've always wondered how many wrecks and fender-benders happened there at that time of the year.

[calvinthecat42]

I can't believe this video has no audience!!!! Such a beautiful song ( sad but beautiful) Should touch everybody in some form about life and death....

[never4everuk]

Think in terms of bridges burned, what an opening line. Love this song.

[ScrewdUpClickSUC]

love an miss you pops know this was played at your funeral i was jus to young to remember.. i love you.. ill see u some day

[themoshmenace]

So who died?

[kperk014]

Barry Beckett. He played organ and piano on hundreds of records including all of Seger's Muscle Shoals songs. He was also the producer on several of those. When Beckett moved to Nashville in 1982, I think it was more than a coincidence that Seger and Beckett crossed paths again with Beckett mostly in a producers role. Beckett was a master and there's no doubt a lot of Seger's songs would have sounded differently without him. Lucky us.

[daveme666]

have been listening to seger for 30 plus years he is the best.

[lajmh]

This was our class song when I graduated from high school...way back in 1980.

How I wish we could afford to hire him to play it at our 30th (EEK!) reunion.

[du9977]

This was our 8th Grade Graduation Song! I love it! St. Charles Hartland, Wisconsin 8th Grade Class of 1985!!!

[ragdollfloozie]

When my parent's marriage broke up...this song kept playing on and on in my head.

[dynelol]

Shit happens, man.

[Akumashef]

LaDonna Mae and I used to play this record,overandoverandover

[Rattster10]

Isn't it great that we (the little ones) can go beyond of what part of the country we are from and appreciate the common sense that Hey Michigan thanks for Sending Bob Seger to Va, Ga, TN and Alabama ------:-) instead of the normal politics that is associated with others-----we don't care-----Bob, I was 12 when I heard the guitar licks and vocals to down on mainstrret and my world changed and memories where forever burned in the disc:-) The Greatest. -Thank you

[Powermaddd]

Hell of a song. It's a great lesson to enjoy the moments we have while we can.

[msCK3457]

I have always loved this song, very poetic and touching. Makes my eyes well up!

Even back in 1978, how many famous final scenes have I witnessed, or experienced. Thanks Bob Seger, someday we will meet again.

[6185chris]

i love this song its been comin for on for solong i would to have this song at my funerial whoops love to have at my funerial

[DEB363]

Soul touching song..

[germanicdogman]

great song sad but great none the less

[coldetheyl]

THIS WAS MY PROM SONG IN 1981...LOL

[starcitygal]

'did you really think it would?" Man, he was singing RIGHT to us back in the day. This song brings back a lot of (sad) memories - one of my all-time favorite Seger songs.

[kperk014]

Nashville producer Barry Beckett, who worked with everyone from Bob Dylan to Kenny Chesney, died Wednesday at 65.

Beckett gained fame as a keyboardist for the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. He played on hits including the Staple Singers' I'll Take You There and Paul Simon's Kodachrome.He produced as well, including Mary MacGregor, Alabama, Kenny Chesney, and Bob Dylan.

Other Beckett-associated releases were Glenn Frey, Bob Seger's We've Got Tonight, and Delbert McClinton,Dire Straits,Joe Cocker.

[seal1620]

Great tune !!

[THEGREATROBYNIE]

I love this song.

[THEGREATROBYNIE]

That was awesome, that I have tears streaming down my face as I write this. This song has such a personal message to me. Too many endings, and not enough begginings.
