Most songs during the 90-minute set were backed by the legendary singer-songwriter’s full band—which included magnificent violin solos and a backing accordion, a setup like The Decemberists or The Avett Brothers—other songs (just 1.25) were unplugged as stand alone acoustic performances with just Mellencamp, his guitar and a harmonica.  During an acoustic version of “The Eyes Of Portland,” Mellencamp sang with vigor about homelessness after sharing a story that influenc
