John Mellencamp "Minutes To Memories" - Live @ Walter Reed

[jemonaco]

This is the best song JCM recorded and performed. I think he was out of his mind before and after this album.

An exemplary version of Cougar's finest work. Scarecrow is a masterpiece, and this one is the coup de grace. Songtelling/Storywriting at its pinnacle. Beautiful.

[ruderocker]

That is how this song is supposed to sound!!!!

I agree with the 2 comment but favorite song is Walk Tall

[jstraw4]

Everyone has said it-- a gem, a classic known only to Mellencamp fans. Brilliant songwriting. He is such a great and compassionate guy with a true 60s vision of a better world. Love you, John.

This song- Minutes to Memories -should have been a lot more popular than it was.

[ctjim1025]

this is my favorite song from him ever.

[redwing9]

Does anyone know the chords that John uses in this version? This is a different arrangement from the one used on Scarecrow.

[beltonmarty]

great song!

[Vatch1966]

I think SCARECROW is definitely one of John's best albums ever!!

[LBjim]

i THINK iT IS HIS BEST...WITH SCARECROW..

[paddo53]

a song that only can be put across with the full band treatment like this. way underrated guy. there's nothing i could say that would add to what the video exemplifies. it speaks for itself.

[KCVROCKS2008]

love the old school brian jones guitar (not the one mellencamp is playing btw).

[Zendor22]

I love this song. It is so sad that most of his best written work does not get airplay. This is of my favorites from him......but have never heard it on the radio.

[squabs217]

This tune is the keystone of the Scarecrow album and went virtually un-noticed . The lyrics are some of the best ever written . Did Mellencamp pen this one ?

[dirigo43]

yes. and it's a classic gem, you are correct.

[philosofranl]

@squabs217 No thw lyrics were written by his friend the writer George M. Green.

[pookyboy9786]

this is my favorite song by him. good, truthfull lyrics.

[abbfan16]

"An honest mans pillow is his peice of mind"...truly one of the great lines in songwriting history

[minskimia]

Thats John. How good is this .. Thank you Jube

[wheebill]

AWESOME song and video. Favorite Mellencamp song. Saw him in Erie, PA this past fall, INCREDIBLE show!

[monkeylad44]

Oh wow, won't be long till he's old as the guy

on the bus!I'm glad he still has all the talent

he's always had.I'm proud to own some LPs of his

[Cbrowns72]

One of my favorite songs by john alltime. He is truly under appreciated as a songwriter.

[TheamazingLuke]

This was truly a glorious exchange of hands and words between generations.
