Thanks Tony for the presale.   Got great seats.    If anyone ends of going post on here I will check back now and then.   

Ahhh awesome! What row? I got lucky at a previous show. I had some pretty good seats, but they were off to the side. Me and my friend were sitting alone on the side, and the security guard asked us if we wanted to sit in the FRONT ROW, CENTER. You betcha I had a HUGE smile on my face, haha! Turns out they were trying to fill in empty seats (weird because the show sold out). Maybe something awesome will happen to you. It was the greatest thing a security guard ever said to me haha! I got to touch John's hand because I was so close!  :)

I'll be at Columbia, MO. If you are in the house, you will have good seats in Jesse Auditorium. The place is pretty small. Should be a great time.

Row J   I was wondering what ever became of Mellenme   I have not seen her since the Moline IA show in 2005 when she was helping out.   I drove down to Jesse Hall about 10 weeks ago and checked out the parking and the place.   Could not look in the auditorium as it was locked up.   I drive to Columbia frequently to shop.    Like going to shows i can drive home afterwards.  Parking is free after 5 PM in the parking garage across the street.    Street parking is free after 7 pm.

Getting ready to head to CoMo in a couple of hours. Got my Mellencamp t-shirt on and ready for a fun day and great night!

Pulled out my RET tour shirt I got in 1999 at the Kansas City ampitheater.   It is my favorite tour shirt.   Will be on the side row 10

Outstanding show!!! End of the tour shows are always great. The band was on fire. John was still nursing the cold and was coughing a lot, but seemed to be in a great mood and was dancing around and having a good time.

John and the band sounded great and the crowd was into it...great show!

It was a great show.  It would be nice if there was a recorded version of My Soul Has Wings.   I liked that duet ok maybe it was a triet since Miriam sang a small part.    I liked his acoustic Life Is Short Even On its Longest Days.    Great venue and show.
