The city of Estevan was treated to a John Mellencamp concert Friday night at Affinity Place.

Few seats were empty when the show began as Mellencamp went through new and old songs for over an hour and a half.

Mellencamp and his seven-piece band worked through old and new songs from his over 40-year recording career.

His new songs the helped open the set included Lawless Times and Minutes to Memories and he and the band then ripped into classic Mellencamp songs like Paper in Fire, Rain on the Scarecrow, Crumblin’ Down, Lonely Ol’ Night, Check it Out, and a solo acoustic version of Jack And Diane.

The concert concluded with Cherry Bomb at about 10 p.m. before people went home.
