Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band kicked off the Travelin' Man - Final Tour Wednesday night in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The tour will hit stops in the U.S. through next year.

Wednesday's set included "Shame on the Moon,” which he hadn't done in 25 years. Also new to the set were "The Fireman’s Talking,”dedicated to those affected by and battling the wildfires in California, as well as "Face the Promise," and his song about Glenn Frey, "I’ll Remember You,” accompanied by a video montage of Frey, Tom Petty and Aretha Franklin.
