Bob Seger's "Night Moves" -- "a career record"

Bob Seger's "Night Moves" -- "a career record"
Quote:Through the late 1960s and early ’70s, Detroit-area singer-songwriter Bob Seger struggled to achieve more than Midwest fame.

...That started to change with the 1976 release of “Live Bullet,” a double-LP concert album that displayed his skills with the Silver Bullet Band and became a surprise hit.

Buoyed by renewed interest from his label, Capitol Records, Mr. Seger set out to write an album that would maximize his momentum.

...Mr. Seger, now 70 years old, recently wrapped up a concert tour for his latest album, “Ride Out.” He recalled writing ("Night Moves") and fine-tuning it to get just the right sound.

Quote:Mr. Seger: Kris Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee” knocked me out. It’s a narration, very descriptive, and I knew those were the kinds of songs I wanted to write. I took that as my template.



The original germ for “Night Moves” was seeing “American Graffiti” [released in 1973]. That was us. Cruising at night, going through drive-ins, and the mental process when your hormones are raging. I wrote the song when I was almost 30, and I was talking about when I was 17.



...We used to have these parties called “grassers.” We’d all go out in some farmer’s field in Ann Arbor and dance. One guy had an upside-down record player in his car that he’d attach to the battery and everyone would play their favorite 45s. That’s where I got, “Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy, out in the back seat of my ’60 Chevy.” I actually had a ’62, but ’60 sang better.

There are two references to “points” in the first verse: shoes and bosom. Back then we wore Ban-Lon shirts, tight jeans and pointed boots like the black musicians wore on stage. And I did have a dark-haired girlfriend, Italian. We were using each other. Trying things out. What can I say? Night moves! The song was sexy, but in a subtle way.

I really liked the title because it was two-edged. It had a duality to it. “Workin’ on our night moves”—our moves with girls—and “Ain’t it funny how the night moves”—what you remember as you’re getting older.

Quote:I had taken some time off the road to write...The one that got me stuck was “Night Moves.” It took me six months to write. I had the ending [“I woke last night to the sound of thunder, how far off I sat and wondered”] but I didn’t know how to get there.

What broke me free was listening to Bruce Springsteen’s album “Born to Run.” On the last song, “Jungleland,” he did the bridge and slowed down the last verse, but it’s not the same chords as the first. Almost like a double bridge. I said, “Wow, OK, that’ll be my structure.”



In there is the line, “Started humming a song from 1962.” The song I was thinking about is “Be My Baby,” sung by Ronnie Spector. I always loved her voice.



My manager wanted me to do something that sounded commercial, so we went up to Jack Richardson’s studio in Toronto and did three songs you’ve never heard because they weren’t very good. I was waiting for the right moment for “Night Moves.” I was worried that a sax [played by the Silver Bullet Band’s Alto Reed] wouldn’t sound right on it, and that the lead guitar player [Drew Abbott] wouldn’t get the certain feel I wanted. So when they left to drive home, I said to Jack, “I’ve got this song. Can I play it for you?” The bass player [Chris Campbell] and drummer [Charlie Allen Martin] stayed.

Jack said, “This song is really good. I’m going to get some more people here tomorrow.” So he called up these girls to sing and brought in Doug Riley, who played organ and piano. And I have no idea where he found [Joe Miquelon] to play the lead guitar part. Jack just said, “I knew he was nearby.”

Quote: Craig Lambert: They were mastering the album in Los Angeles and Punch [Andrews, Mr. Seger’s manager] brought it up to the Capitol tower and played it for us. We heard “Night Moves” and our eyes just opened up. Oh my Lord, pay dirt!

But unbeknown to me and Punch, my colleague Steve Meyer had been taping the music as it played, a little covert operation. After Punch left, we drove over to the Palm restaurant, where Bruce Wendell [the label’s head of national promotions] was having lunch with Paul Drew, who programmed all the RKO Top 40 radio stations in the country. He was the big gorilla then. If you got him on a record, you were pretty much guaranteed a hit.

He came out to the car and we played it for him. Two and a half minutes into it, he said, “That’s a smash.”

It was a huge risk for us to take. A record wasn’t done until Punch or Bob said it was done, and you didn’t do something like make a tape of it without them knowing. And what if Paul Drew had said, “I don’t think this is a hit.” The song would have had a stink on it.

Quote:Mr. Seger: Bruce Wendell called me and said, “You’ve got a career record here.” And I said, “What’s that?” He said, “Because of this song, you’re going to have a career that will last a lot longer than you think.” Good!
