Looks like a great set list.  A good mix of hits and songs that may not be well known (outside of the diehards) and a mix of new and old.  I am not seeing him until the CA/AZ/CO shows in July but I'd be happy if this is the same set list he plays at those shows.

Brilliant concert.  The arrangements of older favorites made them flow with the overall arc and gave emphasis to the poetry inside the songs.  The band was spot on and the rhythm of moods was engaging.  6th Mellencamp concert with my 25 year old daughter- who agreed this was the finest concert either of us have been to.
Thank you band and John for a moving and rousing night celebrating the full catastrophe of life.

I am really looking forward to the show in Vancouver, B.C.  I am very excited about the setlist - it is amazing!  I am hoping that "Full Catastrophe" remains on the setlist!

I agree with sipeswoman that this was one of his best shows! I seen him in Fresno on July 23. I had front row seat and it was worth every penny. Dancing the whole night as there was plenty of room to  dance with other fans!

I traveled from Boise, Idaho for this show and again worth the time and $$. Last time he played in Idaho was 1991, so I travel to CA or NV when he tours.

Come to Boise John, you and the band can stay at my place!
