John is so great and backed up by a wonderful band!

Still one of my favorite musicians ever!  LOVE YA JOHN! ; )

[ramrod20042000]

Brought the album "American fool" in 82 and have been hooked ever since. I must have listened to "Hand to hold on to",Jack & Diane and "Hurts so good" thousands of times.

[hunkydaboyz]

he likes chewing that gum

[lunworks]

@hunkydaboyz Only when hes not smoking!!Been around a long time..haha!Great song,great man.......will go down as one of the most original artist ever.

[BlankUberAlles]

just saw these guys in Portland last week....incrediblely skilled performers  who put on a hell of a show

[agswain]

this is good but not nearly as good as the 1987 version.

[aboriginalsoldier]

i can remember my mother always blaring this song while in a good mood. Everytime i hear this classic i think of the good times ive had when i was home...

[oneaburns]

Great song by a great American singer and songwriter

[johnwinkel]

I met John thru a mutual friend in 1993 here in Indiana. I'm 43. His music is timeless.  My kids like it as well.

[LiLo68]

Loved John since the late seventies, when I was a kid, saw the LONESOME JUBILEE tour, and STILL love him to this day at age 41! This is my favorite JM song...awesome. Let me tell you he can put on a concert.

[sluv2600]

@LiLo68

I like it too. I also have an affinity for 'Hurt so Good' and "Cherry Bomb'. JCM is great.

[governcivilwar]

Check it out we got a Marxist president With not better understanding were did our money go Check it out Obama force feed us a health care NOBODY wanted Check it out He just could not decide on what to do Now we have oil on our beaches Check it out Next he will tax our energy and Break our Backs But Mr. Mellencamp want say a word Check it out liberals will be the end of our freedom Check it out I deleted all this mans liberal one sided garbage Checking out

[executivesteps]

@governcivilwar FNDS (FOXNews Derangement Syndrome) at it's best.

[jstraw4]

The Brenakaye should move on to...idunno, maybe megadeth or whitney huston. Mellencamp is one of the few singer-songwriters who emerged after the golden age (which ended about 1978) with soul and passion and songwriting genius and who is yes--a great singer.

[TheBrendakaye]

i think that this guy is a sorry excuse for a singer......... I rather listen to rats chewing a peace of wood

[whyyeseyec]

So who is a good singer to you?

[airlbaby]

Great song ..i love...

[Jeanieeeeee]

1 of my fans :)

[iillylabrat]

my favorite mellencamp song!

[corsalemusic]

ive been a mellencamp fan scince i was 2

and im now 13

and i just noticed i thought he said got a brand new house in an asshole

[CalicoEnt]

My favorite tune by John. I was influenced by the accordion and violin in unison, resulting in my writing a song with the same arrangement. I did add harmonica on the song.

Good for John, surviving this business for 29 years!

[ramayr98]

This song needs Lisa Germano and Crystal Taliefero badly!!!

[AndyinGeorgia]

And Kenny Aronoff. Mellencamp HAS to miss him.

[Justheppy]

Not quite as good as the legendary 1987 version... But that's how it goes, gotta move on. But this one is missing something... Tempo is a bit fast, but most of all, the gum chewing gives me the impression he just wanted to get it over and done with...

[Heartlander2]

I'm not sure he is chewing gum. He has ALWAYS done something with his mouth that appears that way. Does anyone know for sure if he chews gum at every performance?

[hunkydaboyz]

he's chewing something

[DancingMonkey12]

Is dane clark drumming or kenny aronoff?

[DancingMonkey12]

Is dane clark drumming or kenny aronoff?

[PaternosProstate]

nice package

[opratt34]

He sings "Soaring with the Eagles all week long" twice in this song

[WIICK]

This has always been a staple to a Mellencamp show!

"maybe they'll have a better understanding"

[sugarmarie1980]

Love the videos from this tour! I can now relive the 7 shows I attended by visiting johnmellencampdotcom on YouTube.

Great sound and lighting and, oh yeah, the MAN looks pretty hot too!
