I've been to way too many concerts in my life, and this was by far the best ever.  He absolutely blew me away by playing my favorite two songs back to back within the first three songs.  He brought me to tears with Troubled Man and Minutes to Memories.  My father was an Indiana boy and there was a thread of him in every song John Mellencamp played.  I felt my dad right next to me.  To reach someone on that level, is pretty awesome.  I've loved JM since I was just a kid in junior high school and that only grows as I push on to 50.  Thanks John.  You take me to my roots.  You slow me down and center me.  You pick me up and make me smile.  ...you made me laugh out loud with your stories ... you really are just an ordinary guy...with an extraordinary voice of the people.  Thank you.
