John Mellencamp<\/a> brought his Dancing Words: The Greatest Hits tour to a close with an appearance on Wednesday night (Aug. 12) at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California.<\/p>\n Videos and the full set list from the performance can be found below.<\/p>\n The trek kicked off July 10<\/a> in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and has seen Mellencamp revisiting some of his classic tunes, many of which he\u2019d abandoned in recent years. The trend stayed true during the concluding show, as he delivered a hit-filled set.<\/p>\n Watch \u2018Jack & Diane\u2019 in Mountain View<\/strong><\/p>\n Early highlights included “Small Town,” “Lonely Ol’ Night” and “R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.,” the latter of which Mellencamp reinserted into his setlist first the first time in over a decade. An acoustic rendition of “Jack & Diane” closed out the first part of the concert. <\/p>\n After a brief intermission, Mellencamp returned for his second set, beginning with\u00a0the first single of his career, 1978’s “I Need a Lover.” His rendition of Van Morrison<\/a>‘s “Wild Night” got thousands of fans in attendance dancing, while the familiar tones of “Pink Houses” turned into a mass sing-along. Mellencamp closed the concert with “Hurts So Good,” his hit single from 1982.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Top 10 John Mellencamp Songs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n While this summer tour is now over, Mellencamp still has one more event currently on the 2026 calendar.
