This reminds me of the times in 1970 when the go go dancers were dancing on bales of hay at the county fair grounds. It cost a quarter to watch 'em.

ha! the wiki generation of looking it up quick and assuming....Dickie Betts can shove his sunburst les paul up Greg Allman's ass cuz Duane was his master anyway, and BS slays them all!

Bob was known as THE BOB SEGAR SYSTEM back in 1969 when this came out and it still rocks!

HIs best tune! Dunno why this was always my favorite growin up. And Im a woman. Hehe! I remember there was a little game room/pool hall (NOT a bar!) out in the boonies where I lived at the time - they had an old juke box. THIS was the only song I'd play on it. Bummer summers- no money- no car-no decent parental figures (if there are any? har har har) Had nothin- but dammit I loved this song. Thanks again for these tunes. "Jen"

First time I saw the Bob Seger System was in 1970 at the old Orlando Sports Stadium. They opened for Country Joe and the Fish. I became an instant Seger fan and have seen him dozens of times since. This is one of my favorite Seger songs.

this song f'ing KILLS. love the groove and the way he NAILS that verse! should be covered by a current band.

I remember this on a 45 back in the day when no one knew who Bob Seger was. They used to spin this one at every Saturday night dance.......You Gen Y folks don't know what you missed!.....
