My brain has been stuck on Mellencamp since seeing the KC and St Louis shows......so I woke up this morning to the tune of......  Right Behind Me, John Mellencamp.  I loved this song so much live and have been listening to it daily.  Hmmm, soppose that is why I woke up to it?  LOL   

Hey Tony, are you getting informed as to when Premium Package items go out for the various shows? I have gotten my emails to do the shirt size thing but that is it thus far. Just wondering how long I should wait before being concerned. And do ya think they will send me an email notifying when it goes out cuz if that is the case, at least I will know when to watch for it. Thanks for info you have and as always-THANK YOU for all you do. 

I got to meet her and get my pic with her the night I got my leg signed in 2002, she was sooo sweet. I loved what she brought to the band. 

I seen a video on youtube of Keith Urban and another country artist doing a cover of Jack and Diane too, it was pretty neat cuz the crowd was just loving it! 

Very nice review.     I love the last paragraph, so so true.

Anyone else out there planning on hitting Omaha??  I am going this one alone, just wondering if I will know anyone else making the trek.     Besides Joy cuz she lives there.  LOL

[Each ticket purchased for John Mellencamp's February through April 2011 concerts in the U.S.]

I think I read the upgrade was for the 2011 shows only cuz I had tickets to St Louis & KC and only received the upgrade email for the 2 shows I am attending in April 2011.

Yep, here is a snippet of Tonys post:

Don't Miss Your Chance For a Front Row Upgrade by Redeeming Your No Better Than This MP3 Album Download
Each ticket purchased for John Mellencamp's February through April 2011 concerts in the U.S. includes an MP3 download of his new album No Better Than This AND a chance for an upgrade to the FRONT ROW!

Was it a comment on our government or our military, can't see John attacking our troops, he always shows much love and support for our military folks.  Just curious what he said.

Hey Mitch- I was lucky enough to get this one recorded on my camera from the Kansas City show, it is up on Youtube, you will have to check out--turned out awesome.  Also one of my favorites!!

I really liked the movie, a lot of interesting facts and moments shown. I hope you get to see it and like it.    I had gotten a 2 min preview snippet in an email from the venues that I bought tix for and that just made me wanna see the whole thing. Not sure if somewhere here on Mellencamp.com that is available, but if you can find it, maybe that will help you figure out if ya wanna rush or not. LOL 

Wow-I was at this same show and I didn't see any inkling of John not wanting to be there. And as far as hearing that he was 'mad', that is hearsay. The album came out in August, right here at Mellencamp.com, anyone had the opportunity to come in and listen...for free! Here's what ticks me off, is these people that haven't followed any of Mellencamps music since the 80's and then come in at the convenient time of ticket sales to get in on the presale and then bitch afterwards. We are all entitled to our opinion, as always and each show is going to be perceived by each person differently. But dont go making statements that are simply NOT true like that he is only in it for the money. I had 2nd row seats, center and I thought the show rocked. John and the band were amazing and I danced and sang the whole time. Of course, I like the new album and the one before that and the one before that.
And I LOVED the new arrangement for Jack n Diane!
