Hi Tony...any idea when the 2015 tour dates/locations will be announced?

Just returned to the east coast from San Diego.  The San Diego concert was simply awesome...John and the band were on fire, rested and ready to rock with the crowd!  He played for about 1.5 hours which was great!  As the fan stated in the e-mail Tony posted, JM was really enjoying himself and the crowd.  Loved the part where he stopped to address the crowd when we laughed during Small Town.  Extra special part of the evening was when the security team told us JM asked for the barrier to be taken down that was in place between the front row and stage and we were allowed to get up front and personal right in front of the stage, singing and dancing to every song.  It was amazing to be that close, an unforgettable evening!  Cannot wait for the 2015 tour!!  Also enjoyed meeting a fellow Mellencamp groupie and member of the online Mellencamp Community, cge333...hope to see you again at a future concert 

I, too, am looking forward to tonight's San Diego concert!  Many thanks to cge333 for his/her original post about this concert several weeks ago - after reading your post, I researched this concert and was able to snag 3rd row center seats!!  My husband and I traveled here from the east coast to enjoy San Diego and tonight's show 

Just listened to "Troubled Man" and really love it, especially the instrumental intro before John begins to sing and again repeatedly throughout the song between lyrics.  Very excited for the new album to be released and tour to follow!!

Thanks so much for posting info about this concert!  Since this concert is really only being advertised by AARP and Ticketmaster, my husband and I were able to snag great seats last evening on the Ticketmaster site - center stage (section 1), third row (row C).  The AARP site still says "tickets on sale soon" - they are not yet promoting that tickets are on sale now!  So if anyone out there is interested in getting good seats to this concert, there are many available - I just checked a short time ago and seats are still available in the center stage section (section 1), starting in the third row (row C).  Cost for floor seats in the premium sections is $135/ticket.  Looking forward to traveling to San Diego in September!! 

Cannot wait for the new album and tour to follow!!!!!!!!!!

This is fantastic and news I have been waiting for!!!!  Can't wait to see the 2014 tour schedule and book tickets to see JM in concert a few times in the new year in the US and Canada!!!!!! 

Listened to John and the band play two songs...awesome as always!!  Can't wait for him to start recording some new music and plan his next tour

Great concert...my husband and I listened to the show live last night using the link on the Farm Aid website and the video and sound quality was outstanding...it was like we were right there at the show in the front row!
