Mellencamp recently wrapped his extensive 77-date North American "Live and In Person 2023" Tour, of which LA Weekly praised, "Mellencamp strode out looking for all the world like a Brando or a Paul Newman or a James Dean—a misfit who managed to find his place in the world through his music" while the Dallas Observer describes that the show, “made it clear Mellencamp is a true music legend, and from the sound of it, one that will continue to be making music for a long time to come.” Chicago Tribune says, "Identity, pride, purpose, trust, understanding: These motifs coursed through Mellencamp’s narratives."
