Seger, Bob - Let It Rock Lyrics
In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new shoes
Tryin to find a lady, chase away my blues
Hot and wasted Lord sweatin' in the sun
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
I'll be out there waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track
Drivin' in a Chevy till my foreman get back
Suddenly I hear the breakman up and shout
There's a non-stop train comin' two miles out
Everybody jumpin' and a screaming around
Tryin to get the line an get the teepee down
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Here come the engineer honk his horn
He got a train you got to let it roll on
Let it rock
All night long

Seger, Bob Let It Rock Comments
Deeply honored to have my name in the liner notes.
i second that was at this concert
the Eagle went to school less than 3 miles from where I grew up
Glen Fry is from Royal Oak Michigan
any day
this is a good band,I'd put them against Springsteen and the E STreet Band
these guys practiced since the 60's they weren't overnigfht sensations
Madonna heard these guys practicing near hear,she lived,as do I
these guys put in their dues
I used to live in Royal Oak
so did DR Kevorkian the Murder Doctor
I love all Rock and Rollers who loved Chuck Berry. From Bob to Keith they have all become great. Bob said' All Chuck"s Children are out there playing the sticks. He Became amazing and so did so many who were of the Chuck Berry line. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYTFIkZVEyg
Has to be on top and so many of his contemporaries did so many great things. I agree that so many did so much. Me being a Chuck Berry guy this is my top. Love You Live by the Rolling Stones is to me right next to this. Rock N Roll all night long...
Thank you Bob, the band and especially the rocking audience of Yankees for making one of the best live albums EVER.........yeeee. Hawwww from Bama
Can't say enough good about Bob! But i'm really sick of these vroom ads; are you youngsters really so lazy you'll buy a used car online? Morons!!!!!
Err this ain’t the live album version - its clean
This song is more electrifying on NINE TONIGHT. Throughout the whole AGAINST THE WIND tour from 1980.
Cobo Hall,Detroit,Michigan September 4 or 5,1975.
"Shit, I've known that for 10 years!"
Silver Bullet, yeah!
Saw Bob in Charleston WV, 1975ish. Opened for Kiss. Good times!
Bob Detroit
Go on and let it rock!!!
Dance Music, period.
This Rebel loves the hell outta that Damn Yankee. What a talent, one of the all time greats. And one of the best (if not the best) live albums of all time
These best album of all time going to see seger in June can't wait
Who's life does Bob not sing about?
please let it rock!!!!!!
Dang, this always gets my legs bouncin'. My air-piano rollin'. Air-drums beatin'. Air-sax blowin'. Air-guitar and air-bass strummin'. Drew, Chris, Charlie, Tommy, Robyn & Alto. Shout out to Chuck Berry. Damn good music.
That feedback distortion after Bob introduces himself is killet. Never miss it.
I'll say it again,Bob is one of the few who r good on an album but Better LIVE
For those wondering why Cleveland? DJ Alan Freed is credited with inventing the term "Rock and Roll" and he organized the first rock concert on March 21, 1952. It also helped get the music careers of the following off the ground: Bruce Springsteen, Chrissie Hynde, Roxy Music, David Bowie, and the James Gang.
One of the best live albums *ever*.
KISS a Band from New York,came to Detroit to record their LIVE album...J.Giels Band also...I hope ur done looking inside 'cause that case is closed!
Bob and his Band are one of the few who are great on albums and even better LIVE...especially at Home...Detroit

Seger at HIs Finest

Everybody in Detroit...come on...I'm gonna turn ya loose
Bruce who?
Going to his retirement party in Grand Rapids,MI Jan 5 2019! Be #3 for me. 1976,2008 and 2019!
Rock It Bob!
i remember listening to this at Ferris the first few years right after it came out. fantastic. still sounds good. went to Bay City Jam two years in a row. so good.
Our generation got all the good stuff--muscle cars, parents who would kick out butts, greatest music ever, pickups w/deer rifles in rear window in the school parking lot, and so much more freedom. If we broke the rules, we knew what was coming and actually respected it even in our rebellious moments. No gender confusion, no political correctness, and TV that was actually entertaining, comedy that was actually side-spitting funny. What a great outlook but for the draft and Viet Nam---the guys came back with with honor and fortitude. Bless them all. It's cool now how the Gen Z's "get it" and like our rowdy music, lack of PC, and the same bright outlook instead of the confusion-laden false philosophies of their assumed teachers and mentors. Yuk. Bless these young kids who GET IT and don't want to be wimps and betas but want families and to enjoy life as God intended.
DETROIT ROCK IS THE GREATEST ROCK! LONG LIVE DETROIT!
All these bands r great except non give tribute 2 our arméd forces 4 making these possible
I love the sax!
This is the very best seger album of all time im born and raised in detroit love u bob
"In the heat of the day down in Mobile Alabama... my home town
Should have been at the Grande Ball Room ,Detroit .1966-72
Randy Purdom my sister was
I was at the concert in Cobo Hall Detroit ,Was Great to see Bob .He has always been a Rocker from Detroit
Randy Purdom ~ i was at this concert too!
Best album ever made...
so awesome just to Awesome like right on 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👊🍻🍻🍻🔊🎼🎼🎼💋
Love this Album, play it on my Marantze glass tube driven sound system circa 1965, and my neighbor 5 miles up the canyon from my ranch in Nevada says he can understand some of the words when I play this on our Sat Nite Swing Dance parties
This is a great Live album.The music is great, Bob is great and Bob is fully engaged with his audience and you can hear the audience loud and clear.
This man was only a little more than an hour from where I grew up and live today, my first bought and paid for vinyl, kiddies, this is what your gparents rocked to :-)
Recorded at Cobo Hall. Detroit Michigan. Look up the Doors live album recorded at the same Hall. Awesome
going see him nov 27th 18 :D cant wait like a kid at christmas time
One of the best live albums ever recorded. Seger, REO SPEEDWAGONS You get What you play for, and Frampton comes Alive I think are the 3 best live albums ever recorded.
The REO Live album was recorded at four different venues. Live Bullet was a one-shot recording. (Love the REO album, tho)
Bob Seeger & The Silver Bullet Band Great Night Thank You, it’s Turn the Page & Let it Rock&Roll!!!!!!!!
Someone kinda edited the vocals. At the start, on the album I had, he sings about rollin' great big joints til the fireman gets back. Here, he sings about rolling them bones. That was in the older versions. Someone didn't like him singin' about rollin' great big joints instead of rolling them bones. Pussy.
I agree, on my album from 1976, I'm sure he says rollin' great big joints till the foreman gets back. He says it on the Let it Rock from Nine Tonight, so maybe that is the version we are thinking about.
Bob Seger's Home Stadium

Rockin Robbin on Keyboard
Yes Sir,Bob Seger is the best Rocker by far.Saw him at Norfolk.in 1978.

Detroit does rock
Everybody in DETROIT
1st. saw Seger and the silver bullet at an outdoors concert in Skidway lk. mi. around 1975
1st. saw Seger and the silver bullet at an out doors consert
From St. Louis originally, living in Columbus,Ohio now and for the life me can't figure out how these people got the Rock n Roll hall of fame. DETROIT is the HOME of ROCK N ROLL AND ALL WAYS WILL BE. BOB SEEGER IS ROCK ROYALTY. FROM THE CITY OF SOUL.
Everyone wonders about this.....
My lp from the 70's don't have the bonus track.
Detroit does rock can I fuckein get a amen hello
I seen Bob Segar in 1978 in Shreveport La, without a doubt the best rock show I ever had the privilege to witness, I seen many before and a multitude after and I stand by my statement best ever!!!
I was reading a Rolling Stones article that Detroit audiences were the greatest rock and roll audiences in the world I said to myself shit I known that for 10 years.....
He did the first concert at the New Ford Center in Evansville IN....he had the building shakin' for 2 hours...this guy rocks in concert
In the heat of the day, when I do this live. Makes my hair stand up. ROCK ON!
ST LOUIS MISSOURI home of the blues , birth of the blues
Love this song Let it Rock! Please do this song at DTE tonight! We want to be rocked!❤
one of if not the greatest rock-n-rollers ever to come down the pike
rock n roll
I would put it right up there with Frampton comes Alive, The Outlaws live, REO, ( you get what you play for ) and Lynyrd Skynyrds ( One more from the road). I'm sure I am missing a few. I remember the first I heard live bullet and I was blown away!!!!! You just don't have this kind of talent these days!!!
Humble pie rockin the Fillmore
In a nutshell....you nailed em all... includes the other gentlemen's comment.... blessings from California
This is the greatest live album ever. Not one song that doesn't make you feel something. The first concert I ever saw, 13 years old, and I ain't looking back. Love you Bob!!!
As a child of the 70s from Detroit, this album was Mandatory. Full House by J Geils was the other. Set a standard for the showmanship and musical soul
All Michiganians!
When did someone let these dip dips out into the real world of rocnroll KEEP shouting { LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL}
silver bullet is a Michigan band, one of the greatest ever
Bob and the Boys never took a break - so many songs that went from one into another. They always gave the fans full value - full energy. Their performances were always lights out and over the top thrilling at Cobo Hall.
love it loveit love it
