Wish he still had Kenny Aronoff on drums, a big part of the Mellencamp sound back in the 80s-90s! Haven't seen him on this current tour but saw him in 2018 in Abbotsford near Vancouver. Thought he was okay, not great, but others that I know that saw the show thought he was excellent.
First saw him in 88 on the Lonesome Jubilee tour when he was probably at his peak from a popularity standpoint.

We'll see him at the end of June for a makeup show. It sounds like Lisa Germano is back and, while Miriam was fine, LG brought these songs to life.

Saw him Saturday night at Aronoff Center in Cincinnati. There were no video screens! I even remarked to my wife that I couldn’t remember last concert we were at w/o video screens.
Aronoff is Cincinnati’s Broadway show type, Performing Arts Center. Don’t know if he’s had screens anywhere else.
A bit of an odd beginning to show, that I won’t give away.
Once on stage John kicked ass, as did his band.
Out in lobby along with the usual tee shirts, they have his art prints he’s been working on for several years. Quite impressive.
I consider him an American Treasure.

How is the sound in this venue in person?
I have a few boots from there and it comes across as a really great sounding room.

It has great acoustics. My only issue with the venue is that the lack of a/c, the last time I went, anyway! (April 2022.)

OK, I have it narrowed down: Main Left 203 row G at $165 a ticket or balcóny center 203 row G. It's the very Upper balcóny but first row. Tickets only $125 each. I'm thinking these may be better. What do you all think.Quote

They were nearly perfect seats. And the show was out of this world.
