Music was great. Message was great. Love JCM. One of a kind performer! Talented, Caring, and Says what needs to be said. Thank you for a great evening! Take care - I'd see you when you were 100 like your grandmother if I'm still here!

Mellencamp is one of those performers that is a true artist. He is a legend and should be on your list to see live if you haven't already. He's a great storyteller, and he still brings high energy to his performance. He plays a mix of well-known its and lesser-known gems, altho for a lifetime fan like me, was appreciated. I loved that I knew every song he played, but that not everybody in the audience did. Still, on the popular favorites, he had everyone singing along. Also, for those complaining about the film clip at the start of the concert, hm, maybe you should consider why. It was not just random clips. Every single one of those clips features a line or phrase that can be found in one of his songs. They were literally the inspirations that helped forge his music. They were absolutely appreciated by those of us who know that every choice an artist makes has a specific purpose. It amazes me who quick people just reject something they don't understand instead of maybe taking a minute to consider why. IT's that kind of small mindedness that Mellencamp has been waging a campaign against through his music for decades. Truly legendary.

loved the old movie clips (never had seen Fugitive Kind/ Charlie5) and the show was better than expected. Loved the story about his gramma who called him buddy. His backing band was superb and John knows how to run the show to perfection. The only oddity to me is why can't he add When Jesus Left Birmingham to the setlist at least once just for Birmingham? According to the setlist website, he's only played it 5 times ever- all in 1994, in PA(2) MA, IL and Quebec. Hopefully he will add that as a surprise next time.

Worth my $267 3rd row orchestra seat from the stage... I believe He enjoyed our crowd as we showed Love n respect and Appreciation for John's talent ... The Band so amazing was rippin it...

Although the old movie introductions and dummies on stage raised question marks ( at least to me and my wife)-the performance did not-solid sharp upbeat a good two hours-never saw him live until now and it was well worth the wait. if you did not enjoy the performance just not a fan of good music. Or maybe you were the ones yelling political remarks in back of theatre that he asked to quiet down.

This was my first time seeing John perform. I was thrilled. I paid a lot for my ticket and I was not at all disappointed. He performed some classics and new songs. He's clearly not lost any of his talent. His band is exceptional. I found John to be smart, funny and quite captivating. He relates to his audience by including them as he's singing and makes eye contact constantly. He is humble and it's clear he appreciates his fans and shows his appreciation by the way he interacts to the extent he can. I would gladly pay the same amount to see him again! What a truly gifted, talented man. I continue to listen to his music daily and appreciate what a true storyteller he is. I'm sorry for those who didn't or weren't able to appreciate the talent he brought to the venue they visited. THANKS JM AND BAND!
