Title: Sat. Nov. 27 Chicago show
Post by: smalltowngirl on November 29, 2010, 03:28:16 pm
This was my twenty-something concert but the first one I attended solo.  Couldn't pass up the great seat!  Even though he was sick, John was excellent as always!  I LOVE the a cappella performance of Cherry Bomb.  Dave/David who was also on his own was great company and I enjoyed exchanging Mellencamp stories.  Being a "groupie" paid off after the concert--John autographed my ticket!

I am bettin' someone was hangin' by the airstream???  ;)    That is awesome that you were able to get the autograph and get up close.

Yes, I was by his trailer :) There were quite a few people waiting.  I was surprised he came out so soon before the crown dwindled--and also that he took the time since he wasn't feeling well.

Like you said, paid off to be a 'groupie', LOL! And ya know, I was always fearful about meeting John and everytime that I have had the opportunity, he has been nothing but kind to me, even not feeling well, he is AWESOME!!!!   :)

John seamed to be in good health on Letterman yesterday.

Hopefully he'll stay that way for the rest of the tour (particularly Vancouver where I will see him).

Yeah, I caught him on Letterman too.  He's taking some time off for the holidays so hopefully he will be ready to go again for your show.  I was up in Windsor in July for his concert.  That was the first time I went international (only 6 hrs.) to see him!
