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.

I don't get the negative review.. I am a fan of the artist..so let him be what he needs to be. I think there was enough of everything to please everyone. i didn't mind the movie.. so he has a sponsor.. he wants to continue his art of music.. he didn't take any shit from the record companies that wasn't forced to and gave up movie roles even though he could have made a lot of money because he wanted to make records. He still sounds great for his age... i think he is so real and I love it.. I left wanting more.. but that is because i love his music.. The band was great and he did alot to showcase them. He did so much for regular people..( ie Farm Aide) I will end by saying , there are fans of his radio hits , and there are fans of HIS ,, that is what I am and i loved this PERFORMANCE, it was not a concert!

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!

I have been a fan of John Mellencamp since I was a teenager back in the 80's. His performance did not disappoint. He tells it like it is through his music and his performance was compassionate and outstanding. I was so glad I was able to attend!!!
