At 63 John Mellencamp is still going strong and released “Plain Spoken”, his first album in 4 year in 2014. His tour includes 2 stops at the newly renovated Northrop Auditorium.

 

He opened with songs from Plain Spoken and continued with a mix of his classic songs and newer material. Stage and lighting worked very well with his plain, no nonsense style. I have enjoyed John’s music since I bought a cassette tape of “The Lonesome Jubilee” way to long ago.
