Ann Arbor favorite son Bob Seger, an icon of 1970s rock, appeared at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Tuesday — the first of three Palace dates on the last leg of his highly anticipated spring tour.

The lifelong Michigander, who was raised and began his music career in Ann Arbor, has been drawing generally positive reviews throughout this tour, which could be his last — though some dates this fall remain a possibility.
