Bob Seger is back and better than ever. The Detroit rocker returned this year with a new album, Ride Out, and he’s currently on the road performing new and old music on a massive arena tour. Seger plays at New York’s famed Madison Square Garden with the J. Geils Band this Friday, but Seger got things started in the Big Apple a little on the early side with a searing performance on The Late Show With David Letterman.

You can watch both the performance and the interview below.
