The best way to listen to John's new album is to download the 96khz 24bit high resolution version from HDtracks,com at the link below; (MASTER QUALITY SOUND)

Got front row center for the Baltimore show, 2nd time being front row center, 1st time being the Reading "No Better Than This" tour stop.

Does anyone know if the Falling From Grace soundtrack was remastered for this set?

If it was, I wish they would have just released it separately since I have all his 2005 remasters and the rest of his latest albums.

Does anyone know when the two live tracks on the extra cd of the BB edition was recorded?

"In My Time Of Dying"
"Hey Gib"

Does this set include any unreleased songs or albums?

I would not plan on another leg of this tour. 95% of all venues have 70%+  seats still unsold.

Not sure why John needs to release this Icon title?

John Mellencamp embodies what music fans consider a true ICON. With ten albums to peak in the top 10 of Billboard's Top 200 and a Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, Mellencamp has solidified his place in rock history. This ICON album contains 11 of Mellencamp's biggest hits such as the smash #1 single 'Jack and Diane', #1 Mainstream Rock hit, 'Lonely Ol' Night', along with Top 5 super-hits 'Crumblin Down' & 'Small Town'.

A high resolution version (96khz 24 bit) is available for the dialog version of the album on HD Tracks. (I wish it was only the music though, the music would shine through without the rest of the story)

Tony/Sharon;

I know the standard cd edition/cd/dvd edition of Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County included a digital download card of the music only in mp3. I wish that they had included a high resolution download of the album with the hardcover special edition. Since I now need to spend $18 to buy the 96khz 24bit high resolution version on HDtracks.com.

Thank you Mellencamp and company for releasing this great film on the blu-ray format with HD picture/master quality audio.

For those of you that do not have a blu-ray player, go buy one, if you have a HD tv, the picture quality is so much better (and yes this film filmed off a super 8 projection will look really good in HD)

And if you only have a non HD TV, you can still buy a Blu-ray player with a component video output as long as your non HD TV has a component video input. You can then set the Blu-ray player resolution to 480i to match your non HD TV. The Blu-ray disc will look better than a DVD Disc in 480i because the Blu-ray disc picture is less compressed than the DVD compression codec. And the audio will be lossless, versus a DVD where most audio is lossy (compressed) unless it is LPCM which is uncompressed.

My facebook page as been updated, I can't wait for this drawing! It would make my new year start off really well with a great movie poster from a great film filmed in Super 8 no less on my computer room wall. I would proudly display this poster!

Thanks Tony, I hope I win a copy of this great movie poster! I would proudly frame it and display it in my home next to my numerous Neil Young movie posters. I've been a fan of John's since I heard Human Wheels on the radio when I was 11 in 1993, what a great song!

I hope this movie gets released in the Blu-ray format as well with a HD transfer and non compressed sound.

Is there a high resolution poster photo available? I hope this poster will be available for purchase!

Actually, it does not matter that it was shot on 8mm, On Blu-ray the resolution would be far greater than DVD. In fact, I believe that the version shown on the tour is probably a 1080p HD source that would mirror the quality of Blu-ray.
