July 25 Ford Center - Oklahoma City, OK
The OKC show was great, as was my front row VIP fan club seat! One of my favorites from LDL&F is "If I Die Sudden", and it sounds especially good LIVE! It was great to see Speck join the band for the encore again too. - Jean H.
July 30 Santa Barbara Bowl - Santa Barbara, CA Barbara County Bowl John Mellencamp rocked the house!! It was the best I have ever seen him!! He was enjoying the crowd, which was of course enjoying him. He played a great mix of old and new, Longest Days, Minutes to Memories and Jack and Diane, to name a few. The crowd willingly and loudly sang chorus for him with R.O.C.K in the U.S.A. - Barry McG.
July 31 Greek Theatre - Los Angeles, CA
OMG!!! What a concert, the weather was perfect, The Greek is a very cool venue. I'm not sure if John had more fun or we did. He was in a awesome mood, smiling, joking, posing for pictures for us. - Carol
Aug 2 Greek Theatre - Berkeley, CA
I loved hearing just John and his guitar, thought the new songs were fantastic live, very powerful - Patricia G.
It was a beautiful, perfect night in Berkeley and the show itself was a fantastic end to John's US Tour! - Linda
