John Mellencamp's No Better Than This Tour November 20, 2010

John Mellencamp and his band are set to embark on the first leg of the No Better Than This Tour in late October following the August 17 release of his Rounder Records debut album, No Better Than This. The tour, designed as a uniquely formatted “evening with,” brings Mellencamp’s music to theater-sized venues, a rare opportunity to experience one of America’s most iconic songwriters and performers in an intimate setting, highlighting all phases of his artistry. The tour stops in Pittsburgh at Heinz Hall on Saturday, November 20th.

The tour’s “opening act,” is a documentary film by Kurt Markus entitled It’s About You. Shot on Super8 film over the course of last year’s Bob Dylan-John Mellencamp-Willie Nelson tour of minor league baseball stadiums, it chronicles the creation of No Better Than This. Ticket holders are urged to get to their respective No Better Than This Tour venues by 6:30 PM in advance of the film's 6:45 PM start time. Concert will follow film with a start time of 8:30 PM.
