In Pictures: John Mellencamp in Nashville, TN

As anyone who's heard John Mellencamp perform solo can attest, the folk-rock star has the chops to go it alone. This time out, however, he's opted for plenty of company as he tours in support of his latest CD, "No Better Than This."

Along with a six-piece band, Mellencamp kicked off the tour last week (10/29) in his hometown of Bloomington, IN, and is set to crisscross North America through next spring. Mellencamp's set lists are a mixture of new material and old, including hits like "Pink Houses," "Jack and Diane," "Small Town," "Paper in Fire" and "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.," to name a few.

Tomorrow (11/5) fans can catch Mellencamp and his band at The Midland by AMC in Kansas City, MO, and Saturday (11/6) the tour arrives at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis. SoundSpike photographer Samantha Shrader attended the show last night (11/3) at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, and here are some of her best shots.

the format of the concerts had been well publicized on this website, as well as facebook and twitter leading up to ticket sales.

concert reviews and even the setlist from shows prior had also been posted numerous times as well.  i understand you already had your tickets, but if you had read any of them and realized you may not like the show, i'm sure you could have easily sold your tickets (especially with them being VIP), to a true fan who would have loved to have had them.  (it was also published several times that the VIP package would not be shipped until close to or after show dates). 

Mellencamp's songwriting and musicial 'transition' has not been a secret to anyone who has remotely followed his career in the last decade (at minimum). 

i can never understand people who haven't listened to anything recent (especially the last 2-3 cd's), who go to a concert and expect to hear only the 'radio hits' of the past, and none of the newer releases.

sorry you had a bad experience.

this is a link to a site that has a photo gallery of JM over the years.  most look to be promo shots, album covers, etc., but still good to go back and look at.

it's not related to 'jack and diane'

nice!

there is not a fan club anymore.  all mellencamp pre-sale info and tickets were available to anyone who is a member on this, his official website.

tickets went on sale to the public on Oct. 29th.

i was just able to get on ticketmaster.  couldn't pull up any VIP seats, but other seats came up.

sounds more like a problem of the venue. 

he has voiced his displeasure with radio for several years, not like it's anything recent.  in my opinion, he would never "take it out on his fans".

sorry you had a bad experience

it's a documentary about the making of the new cd.  i saw it in bloomington and found it interesting and entertaining

Looking for a single for the show tomorrow at the Ryman.

Thanks!

i forwarded your info to someone who might have an extra ticket.  can't guarantee anything tho
