I saw one of the greatest concerts ever, John live in Indianapolis in 1987. It was a three day gig, all sold out of course. It was the best of over 100 I've seen live.

"..."Freedom's Road," casts its true political spirit ... Backed by guitarists Andy York and Mike Wanchic, both of Mellencamp's selections were given a sturdy, soulful treatment ... A steady, windy drizzle and the unintentional chorus of electrical crackles and pops (presumably from the Hatch Shell light towers) did not diminish a summer night filled with color, verve, and celebratory splendor. ..."

(from "Mellencamp adds Soul to Esplanade splendor" July 5, 2007)

Sounds a lot like Neil Diamond's Cherry Cherry or Thank The Lord For The Night Time to me!!

Yes the orchestra is powerful as are John Melloncam's gutarists. but notice that the drummer is actually the Boston Pops own drummer, right up the back. If anyone knows this guys name let me know. I did know it but the name escapes me now. He is a percussion genius.can play anything.He has done other work outside the Boston pops as well.
