The swampers contribution to music is on another level, those boys are truly amazing! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
And that is my dear talented friend Forrest Howie Mc Donald that was the young kid at the time passing through Alabama on Vacation with his folks that had enough chutz·pah to show up at the back door to Muscle Shoals and ended up on Bob Seger's biggest hit Old Time Rock and Roll. I love this story...
Where would we be without The Swampers, Awesome
Nothing gets my rock n roll on like 70's Bob. The best!
MR Seger is one of the best.👍👍👍🗽🗽🗽
Old Time Rock&Roll is guaranteed to fill the dance floor at any wedding,high school reunion and any other affair.
Night moves is a legacy album , so good
Question for the old hands
Who played the guitar solo on Till it shines ? I have always loved that track
was it a swamper or a silver bullet band musician ?
Its phrased so sweetly and the hook is killer
These guys are American treasures. Thank God for Muscle Shoals.
This really shows the character and integrity when we did it on a hand shake and were still getting paid. Wow
you all prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot my account password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Canaan Jeffrey Instablaster =)
I love how you ask a question then let them go on. I feel like I get to know the musician better
Thanks Terry.... joe
We seen Bob Seger in Greenville and Clemson Everytime He Came Close Enough To Go. Always a good concert
Thanks for watching Joyce....Best, Joe
That's the Bob Seger I always imagined him to be. wonderful to hear that my assumptions line up with reality! great guy and an unbelievable amount of great music!
You would probably enjoy the interview of Bob on Later with Bob Costas.
the Swampers,.and all associates have seen history unfold in front of them,...and they were a big part of each moment,....so glad all of you shared this with us.
I am 70 and grew up in Michigan. Bob Seger had a bunch of local hits long before Katmandu. He was a giant in Detroit Music. Well before Silver bullet band we used to see Seger in various venues, and you never ever sat down until he was done playing
Thanks for sharing Mr.Wilson.... joe
I still have my 45 of "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" by Bob Seger System. I used to play the hell out of it back when I was 14.
@@davidgibbs381 Yep. I used to see him when he was Bob Seger and the Herd. That man has rocked more people than there are numbers in the universe.
That's funny, in1997 my GF bought tickets to BS, the show wasn't for 6 mos later and I teased her relentlessly about going to see grandpa etc. Went to the show and had the best time ever, the minute BS & SBB hit the stage everyone was on their feet dancing, literally. Been to thousands of shows but that was a night to remember
@@kevinherd3437 Seger started Rocking the instant he picked up a guitar and sang into a mic. There is no one like him. Everyone going into the Rock Hall should thank him in their speeches
The Museum is a must see. I will go back as often as possible. Thank you Joe for this creation
Thanks Gordy…. Joe
Why would anyone come here and give this a thumbs down? These guys were there, they were the musicians, they ran the studio, and they're telling you exactly what happened. What is there to be mad about and not like? I tell you, this damn internet, for all its good for, is also one strange ass place.
Hi T.... bless you... seriously... it’s unreal what kind of remarks we receive from these internet trolls.... and yes ... thumbs down to these guys?? Why... ? Well I finally decided the people who do things like this are miserable with their on lives and have not accomplished anything or haven’t tried to do anything to better themselves are mankin. Probably have never had a girlfriend and are frustrated and jealous of anyone who has succeeded in life. Thanks for pointing out these losers.
Thanks again for watching our channel... best... Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum You're welcome my friend. Thank you for the great content, and keep up the amazing work !
Ol' Bobby Seger. That man sure knows how to put one helluva song together..thats for sure.
Thanks for watching RJ...Joe
Great story, i saw Bob Segar in Seattle in 78 when i was stationed @ Ft Lewis, best concert i ever attended.
I really appreciate your love and support towards my aspirations, how long have you been my fan?
@@officialbobseger39 Since Ramblin Gamblin man in 69, my brother also had the album 'SMOKIN OP'S" that looked like a pack of Lucky Strikes.
@@baird5776mullet Thanks for being a true fan Baird are you currently on any of my fans club?
Bob Seger: The Man.
Great stories! Thanks for sharing, guys! And God bless Joe Chambers.
Lucky enough to see Bob Seager early 80s , a few more times later and then right at the end of his career. Unlike a lot of other seasoned singers his voice was still great. Fond memories for sure
I have no idea how many of these stories I’ve watched, But they have never let me down. Time moves on and people change. But the reality and the magic that came from these memories will inspire musicians for years to come.
Cool interview... Cheers Bob
Thanks for watching Bob.....Joe
I saw Bob Seger on the Night Moves tour and he was opening for Kiss. From the moment he hit the stage everyone were on their feet. Of course Kiss took a long time before they hit the stage. Had to let the excitement of Bob Seger wear off a bit.
The man, the myth, the legend. One of the greatest poets, musicians of all time. Loves how he keeps his private life private.He has my greatest respect forever
All about the groove and sometimes it can't be hit again I love it ! great story
That great intro was an oops.
Another Awesome interview!
Thanks, Joe.
Thanks Rick... yes ... isn’t that cool! Couldn’t imagine it any other way... best.... Joe
Love Bob Seger. I really liked what he did with Glenn Fry back in the day, helped bring the Eagles to Stardom. I didn't know that Seger was as involved with the Swampers as these clips highlight.
I'm probably most impressed with the overall history of what these guys did up in Muscle Shoals back in the day. I didn't know about Cher, Duane and the countless others who knew where to go to make the best recording. I was turned on to the Swampers when I heard the Lynyrd Skynrd vocals tooting the horn for the Swampers at Muscle Shoals on Sweet Home Alabama. I was blown away when I started researching it and found out just what the guys at Muscle Shoals had accomplished and I just love the story about all of it.
When I was a kid, a buddy of mine and I would head up to north Alabama and hang out at Little River Canyon and jam with our acoustic guitars, we'd play the songs as best we could back then, had no idea that the studio was over in Muscle Shoals, if we had I know we'd have been at the back door of the control room peeking in and getting yelled at for doing so!
I want to thank all the crew at Muscle Shoals for just being there when the world needed you to be and thank you for all the amazing music that rolled out of that studio over the years. I don't know if you guys know how big an impact you've made on the music scene. It certainly wouldn't be the same without you guys!
I'm a southern boy by birth and a long time guitarist, I always loved the back stories of my favorite bands and recording studios. I'm also very fond of the Studio in the Country right outside Bogalusa, LA, about 30 miles from my location today, like Muscle Shoals a lot of quality famous records we produced there, would loved to have been a fly on the wall back then. The other small recording studio on my top list of 3 would be Robin Hood Studios in Tyler, TX where ZZ Top recorded their first and second albums.
Real history The best stories..Respect Always to the history shown on this channel
Robert .... thank you so much... best, Joe
Yet another bit of R&R history Joe has brought to light, what a great interview. Thank you!
Just dropped in to say how much I miss having Joe pop up in new interviews on this channel. He’s impossible to replace, but I hope you get someone to interview musicians again.
Thank you for continuing to support the channel Thomas. My dad, Joe, had a lot of fun sharing these interviews and interacting with his friends here on YT!
Hope you can visit the museum sometime!
Best,
Britt
You just got a new subscriber. As a teen in the 70's I love this stuff
This is so awesome. By accident, I missed seeing Bob Seger live. I'm a fan of Bob Seger. Cheers!
I was lukewarm back in the day. Maybe there was just too much radio play. Then I saw him live on his last tour... one of the best rock shows I've ever been to.
One of the best rock concerts ever. Love Bob.
" Hey Buddy, can i HEP ya?" Lol. Love it.
Bob Seger holds a special place in my heart. he is a true gentlemen and one of the best musicians I have ever had the pleasure of listening to.. I would probably even go as far as saying the entire state of Iowa loves Bob. ""On a long lonesome highway, east of Omaha"" I still live only a stones throw away from that highway. I-80.. and Bob is right.. thats a long extremely boring stretch of highway.. But my absolute favorite is hollywood nights, Sometimes I feel like Bob was writing about me, I was stationed in California, not far from Hollywood, ended up marrying this california dreaming drop dead gorgeous blond.. Sure enough, we were separated when it was time for me to come home.. It still makes the hair stand up on my arms,, even writing about it,,, the song couldnt be more accurate.. Seems like a lifetime ago... God bless all of you who created these songs. They truly help people get through life..
I have been to a ton of concerts. I saw Bob Seger at Madison Garden. I have never seen an audience respond the way they did to Old Time Rock and Roll. The whole place was literally rocking. It is just THAT song.
Thanks for sharing Richard... joe
Outstanding. Thank you Joe.

Joe- I’m sure you get many requests for material about certain artists, Peter Green has been on my mind and wonder if you have anything interesting about him?

Thank you, Joe. I really appreciate your professionalism and enthusiasm God bless, you.
Thank you CC ... joe
These amazing stories by the Swampers are golden Joe! I always knew that Seger was a class act & this video proves it in spades! Letting that kid at the back door come in to play is just over the top incredible. 👍👍👏👏😉😉
Hi Steve... yes ... that’s one of my favorite stories I’ve been told since starting these interviews... joe
First off, let me say how happy it makes me to know there are guys like you who took the time and are making the effort of putting down the history of the music that has been so important during my lifetime. You have provided so many incredible backstories which could have very easily fallen by the wayside, or worse, might have ended up fragmented and unclear causing endless debate among the so called self proclaimed "experts" of music history. Your presentations come straight from the participants own mouths. I'll always be grateful that you, for whatever reason, had the foresight to gather all of this incredible information from the people who lived and participated in so much of the history during this period of time. If I wouldn't have to commit so many crimes to do so, I would love to give you a home site next to the railroad tracks down in Sandy Hook, Tennessee that you could at least sell, but don't give up yet because I might win the lotto, providing you with needed resources and of course keep myself out of jail. Out of all the channels on U-Tube, yours is my favorite. I just can't thank you enough, yet, but I'm going to keep trying.
William... hey man... I appreciate your comments and thoughts... yes ... please don’t do anything to place you in jail:) ... If you hit the lottery then I’ll take you up on some support for the museum:).... All the best... Joe
Absolutely love these behind-the-scenes of Rock & Roll masterpieces stories .. thanks Joe :)
Thanks a2zme... joe
Joe, thanks so much for your interesting and entertaining Musicians Hall of Fame video series. And I too know Forrest McDonald. My son owns 2 breweries in the Richmond Va area. We pride ourselves on brewing excellent beer and providing outstanding musical entertainment. Steam Bell Beer Works has hosted The Forrest McDonald Band a dozen or more times in the last 4 years. Forrest is an outstanding blues guitarist and the entire band is wonderful. They always play Old Time Rock & Roll and Forrest tells the story just as y’all did, usually midway through the second set. Never tire of him telling his Muscle Shoals experience on such a classic Rock & Roll hit.
Thanks for sharing this Tom... best,,, Joe

This guy is from Brazil . Any good his music please ?

This vault series is amazing. Thank you Joe for sharing all this. 👍🏻😎
David... thank you for watching... joe
Joe is now resting easy with the Lord!
First of all ,well done , this is wonderful stuff .It is interesting hearing the guys talking about musician credits, I devoured the liner notes on albums when they finally got around to acknowledging the players . When I was at high school my band were learning the Wilson Pickett version of Land of 1,000 Dances , and Roger's iconic beats during the ' huhhh , Na , nananana ... 'bit really alluded my 15 year old brain . I always assumed it was a black guy propelling that irresistible feel , an Earl Palmer, a Clyde Stubblefield , I was almost shocked to find out the Swampers were all white chaps . I still love that record and mastering the syncopated kick push moved my drumming up a notch . Great hearing Mr Hawkins talking about his first kit , I started off with a basic Sonor kick and snare , but had Hi Hats as well , then the rack tom , then a floor tom ... My parents were resigned to it by then and my dad loaned me the money to buy a proper ride cymbal and bought me the stand to put it on . 70 now , still playing .
Hi Wee… many people assumed the Swampers were black musicians including Paul Simon:) The truth is regardless of the color of their skin all these guys grew up together side-by-side in the deep South…… black or white made their money picking cotton …..for real. It was a lifestyle. They felt the same hard times and poverty as their black friends and it came out in their music. Thanks for watching…. Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I grew up in New Zealand 50s and 60s , and apart from English music publications like the Melody Maker and New Musical Express , we really had no idea what was happening anywhere . Radio was run by the government in the Brit BBC manner and was a little wary of too much rock and/or roll. I probably became aware of Muscle Shoals through the Stones talking to journalists. As kids we swapped any information about the ' real music ' like holy writ . I teach a bunch of kids the art of drums, it is a big part of it to know where it comes from . Thanks for your invaluable resource . The Nashville stuff was great , but this digs right into the heart of where my influences are .
Love these guys Great interview Thanks Joe
Thanks again Nelly... joe
Another wonderful interview. Always so cool. Preserving musical history
So much to learn, so little time... F A S C I N A T I N G
Thanks again for watching Ed.....Joe
Im from Detroit , a big Seger fan and i didn't know any of this , damn good video !
Thanks Joe... its fascinating to hear the stories of our childhood told by the people who created the songs...
Thanks d.... best, Joe
Brilliant interview Joe, it never ceases to amaze me how things seem to find away, I’m a firm believer that certain things are meant to be.
Hope your safe and well, take care from a rainy Chesterfield in the UK..❤️
Thank you Paul...................Joe
Love this segment and the Seger story. I had never heard the part about the intro being a mistake. That's too cool!
Being from just across the state line in MS I always enjoy the stories about these guys. Over the years I've ran into many of them at some time or another in and around Muscle Shoals. My favorite guitar shop is there. Thanks Joe. You interviews never disappoint.
Thank you 1515.... joe
It really is a magical place... I didn't really appreciate it til returning to N AL and learning the history of the recording studios, meeting & hearing local musicians, etc. Love this series as well as the movie, MUSCLE SHOALS. It's free on YT now if you haven't seen it. Can't wait to see Aretha.
Totally fascinating and wonderful. Thank you Joe.
Thanks a lot Al.... Joe
Good to hear Seger was one of the good guys! Sad that fiduciary integrity is rare, greed is a powerful human instinct, unfortunately. Glad there are still good ones out there who honor even handshake agreements.
Seger is known to be one of the nicest guys in the business. Never forgot his midwestern roots!
Right On Warriors Spread the LOVE 👍👍 Fight for credibility that's all you have 👍👍❤️❤️❤️😘😘🙏🏾🙏🏾
Your foundation is everything!!!!! 👍🙏🏾❤️
*IS, not was!
Bob is an amazing artist
Very cool! I've never really thought about the ''false' piano intro x2 of 'Old Time Rock & Roll'. Yep ... the timing after riff 1 is odd but it fits perfectly. Reminds me of a pause going up the first hill of a rollercoaster... the empty space just kind of hangs a bit. Love it! Now we know the story behind it. Great interview!
Thanks for watching and supporting our channel Stephen... Best, Joe
Well put! I never knew that before, either. But it works. Fortunately, much great art can be created from mistakes and accidents. Grateful for Bob sticking with his gut instinct and testing it with an audience, too! ❤️
I appreciate your love towards my music hope you don’t stop liking my aspirations
Thanks Joe, the Swampers are a great bunch of guys! Howie has a great story to share at every gig he plays!💫
Howie was a lucky guy.. joe
They are all gone now, except Bob, Seger. And Little David HOOD. God Bless them all!
Top shelf again Joe. I always thought Bob should have been as big as ' the boss'. Love them both.🇮🇪
Thanks Rob... joe
The reaction channels are discovering him and being blown away by his artistry daily.
I knew Forrest (Howie) McDonald in high school. I had heard the wild tale that he played on Old Time Rock N Roll, but i never had any corroborating evidence till now and like they pointed out, he wasn't credited on the album. As you might expect, i don't think i have ever met anyone so confident and gung ho to be a successful musician as Forrest. He used to have a very tall Fender amp stack in the 60's that he needed a stool in front of so he could reach the top controls. Though at one time i doubted the story was true cos it sounded so fantastic, The Swampers have erased all doubt.
Thanks for sharing your story John... best, Joe
Great story John, Thanks for sharing.
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Joe, More evidence that your interviews are the best; they bring out these type of comments!

Outstanding documentary proof of the the Swampers legacy, thanks Joe. If nothing else, the gentleman's agreement that Bob Seger honored to this very day is worth the watch. Thanks again Joe!
Thank you too Tom... joe
Joe, your superpower is the ability to have your guests feel so completely at ease, that they’ll tell great stories that they normally wouldn’t open up about. You are the Zen Interviewer, as you don’t have to say a word and musicians trust you like an old friend of theirs.
Thanks G....I hope they do feel like my friends because they definitely are friends to me. Best, Joe
I love hearing stories like these 👍
This channel is a joy to watch.
Thanks Mac....I appreciate it... Joe
love bob Seger so much I have Night Moves and Nine Tonight on Vinyl
My favorite song is still East Side Story by Seger .. his first single he ever did
Once again a really good program
Once again a great story thank you so much😎
My husband and I always hit the dance floor on "Old Time and Rock" every time whomever played it! Jerry and I loved these times and a lot of the other dancers gave the floor to us and everyone watched us! Great memories! Also we loved Alto Reed!
And that's the rest of the story.
That was an INCREDIBLE story! Thanks

Bob and all guys that grew up knowing what honesty and respect were before you even consider their talents. 👌
I may have seen this before, but it never gets old. Thanks for posting! Sadly, we've lost too many of our Shoals music family in recent years (RIP)... Which makes videos like this even more special. Little pieces of history, music heritage, and sweet memories for surviving family and friends. Many thanks, Joe! ❤️
Love this interview. These guys are so talented!!!
Thanks Joe 😊

This song always takes me back to when I was a kid probably 10. My family would go to Greeco's Pizza in Bedford IN and my Brother and I would ALWAYS pick this song in the jukebox as one of our four for a quarter. Oh the memories it brings back I can NEVER forget that it is a part of my soul!!!!!
Wow!! Fascinating. Love the song and now I know the story behind it.. Thanks!!
Thank you Jimmy..... Joe
What a great story! That was so cool to hear all the incidents that took place. Stuff like that just happens and probably will never happen again.
Thanks again Joe for an outstanding interview. You never disappoint. This is hands down the best channel on CZcams.

Wonderful

Another amazing piece of history.
This was great, I never Roger Hawkins played drums on some of Bob’s classic record’s
About half of the mid 70s to early 80s stuff. I think until The Distance.
That's good stuff Joe, I saw Bob Seger while stationed at Ft. Campbell back in the mid 70s. Right there at municipal auditorium. I saw some good shows there. keep these good stories coming, Thanks
