MELLENCAMP DISCUSSION / All About John / Setlists
|

Just would like some thoughts on Johns setlist. We went to the Louisville show the other day. I was hoping to hear some of the songs from OPS(besides Stones in My Passway), but that did not happen.
I would like to see him rotate his standard setlist songs with more deep tracks. I understand he has to play the hits(for the crowd,please the masses) or a good portion, but to be honest I could careless if I were to ever hear any of those again. No offense to John and that material, but I have heard enough to last me a life time. But like I said you have to please the masses. It might freshen things up for him and the audience.
John has some great deep stuff and honestly I prefer the material of the last 10-11 yrs more than anything. The 90's has some really solid material, and its ignored in concert.
I would like to hear him do a stripped down acoustic tour, more rootsy/folk/blues flavor. Thats where he shines IMHO.

MELLENCAMP DISCUSSION / All About John / Tour info questions

Hello. New to the community here. I am going next month to see John at the Illinois State fair and I just have a few questions about his show and etc. The last time I saw him was about 20yrs ago.
Does he rotate his set list for the tour or mix in different songs, or is it all pretty standard show to show?
Will he have an opening act for all of his shows? I was not sure if it would depend on the venues like a state fair vs an arena/amphitheater.
Thanks
