Another great show!
I had seen the Waterbury show in February - and loved it - enough to drive 3 hours from Albany to Boston to see John again...
Enjoyed the changes, which kept it fresh, and I really do like the format of the shows - the 3 distinct sets highlight the songs in different ways -
Also, heard a song I didn't remember hearing before - Circling Around the Moon - which I loved (As an aside - that's one great thing about music - a song goes right by you one time, but another time it absolutely resonates with where you are in life - I must have had a broken heart in the time since that song came out!!! Now I'll go back to those 'other' albums and see what I missed)
I agree with Kicker that Easter Eve was done well, it was like an old Irish story-song, and of course the last line got a big cheer!
I did not note the entire set list but many of the classics, and also many from the last 2 records (which are what drew me back to the fold; I love the down low sound and the perspective of life).
The Wang theater was an incredible venue, so beautifully restored and also no 'anti-dancing' security people! Loved the announcement that said 'This is a John Mellencamp show, so singing and dancing is encouraged'
Keep on Rocking John!
