I have been going to John Mellencamp concerts since 1984 and have yet to be disappointed with a show. I am going to the show Saturday in Newark, NJ, can't wait :-) I can tell you i was very disappointed in the crowd at the show in February in NYC. They were quite lame, just sat there and didn't know a single new song. I swear i was the only one in the upper section that sang every song! They people next to me actually got up and left after abnout 5 songs and i just couldn't believe it. I was so pissed that i couldn't afford the really good seats up close and was stuck up on the 2nd teir with people who only knew the hits and didn't stand up once. I did also notice that even some of the people on the floor were not up and moving during most of the show. I do wish the front section tickets were not so expensive so that TRUE fans can afford to sit there. I do not mind the hits at the shows but wouldn't miss some of them if they weren't played. I look forward to hearing the rare songs that haven't been played in 10 or 20 yrs, i would kill for "Sugar Marie"! I always check the blog, website, youtube and anywhere else i can before going to show to know what i'm in for, even for Mellencamp shows and probably don't really need to because i know i'm getting a good show always.
