  • also the chords are the same of bon jovi...listen to "these days"

  • he looks like bon jovi

  • @k4driver2: Agree!

  • my fave song during my college days!!!

  • John Mellencamp is my FAVORITE music artist of all time. He does not get the props that he deserves. Underrated in many respects.

  • I feel bad for knowing just this song from him. It is since its release that it keeps ticking in my brain from time to time... and the lyrics... well... I would have loved to write them myself. Great one indeed.

  • stang ju 4 this grätfull vi(deo)

  • Both this song and Jackie Brown were criminally underrated. Glad to see that John keeps rockin'.

  • He is a real Troubadour

  • I hope that the future will be for liberals

  • My childhood

  • I didn't realize how much I loved this song until I bought his greatest hits collection and was playing THIS song over and over again. For one thing, the lyrics are such outstanding poetry, and the music is tops. I love the drum grove. Thanks for posting this vid. This specific performance is great.

  • @mydlands look for the name George Green, (I think) on many of JM's songs. You will find, as you do here, a beautiful collaboration. Poetry (Green), music (JM), and profound revelation (for us all).

  • Better now than he ever was in my opinion.

  • brucee non lo saraì mai............

  • As others here have said human wheels, pretty much the whole thing is a masterpiece. It portrays the American experience as well as a Stienbeck novel. When he brought it to the record company suits they didn't want to put it out because there was no rap music in it. That was one of the reasons he ended up using Chevrolet to get his music out. No wonder the industry is in the tank.

  • john mellencamp rocks...and gets better with age...so all the haters...need to quit dissing him

  • so cool. what a great song.

  • it's simply great! the whole album! MELLENCAMP!!!

  • one of his best songs and cds that didnt get the credit it should

  • amen

    human wheels

    so great

    and unheard

    others lose our gain

  • He and his band sound better & better live! Forget the critic...

  • This guy has a great live show.

  • the original version was blocked because of copyrights :-(

  • John's voice has gotten deeper and rougher as he ages - it suits this song very well. His band is one of the, if not the very best.

  • his voice has got rougher cause he smokes like 5 packs of cigs everyday, and i honestly dont like it cause he doesnt sound nearly as good as he did and doesn't sing his songs the same way. His son started a facebook page trying to get his dad to stop if 1 million people join the group

  • THE TRUE AMERICAN MUSICIAN!!

  • Great song.

    I wish John M. plays some gigs in Germany.

  • JUS LUV THE FIDDLE!!!!

  • muy bueno !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • is there only live at youtube?

  • ya  man

  • he may be a flaming liberal, but he is one of the best singer/songwriters ever!

  • @LITTLEDRUMMERBOY30 Go to hell

  • @LITTLEDRUMMERBOY30 --- so happy to hear he's a liberal!!! God Bless America! We need people like him!

  • @EWLGtoday Almost all performers are publicly liberal. Even those who are not are terrified of the illogical backlash that would hit them if they chose otherwise. Most of these performers are millionaires who attempt to avoid paying taxes like the plague. But they will never tell you that as they scarf down their $300 a plate sushi in Hollywood. They want to portray that they are just one of the masses.

    Mellencamp is actually an exception to the rule above. I work in the business btw.

  • @Boss302fan Great way to put it,yes he is an exemption.I spent a few yrs. "married" to the business.John Mellencamp is where it all started.He is a walking contraindication but admits it.Love his music!!!I'm writing book,so many truths will come out in it.....so dif. behind the scenes then the fans really know.Almost laughable!!

  • Human Wheels is a masterpiece... By far my favorite of his, with scarecrow a close second...

  • I like this song better live, than the video he did..., just my opinion.

  • this is a great song from a great album

  • This is one of my favorite Mellencamp songs!(I learned to sing it too ) Thanks for the POST!

  • THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST underated ROCK SONGS EVER!!!! It is one of his best.

  • Right on dude.

  • @K4driver2 absolutely!

  • the entire record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Thank you for sharing this video.

    The people are listening.

    ..While the clock keeps the pace

    "..let the voice of freedom

    sing out through this land"

  • The most underrated singer/songwriter.

  • He's finally getting inducted into the Rock Roll Hall of Fame, though.

  • Awesome song! Went to see John's concert in Uncansville, Connecticut. His concerts get better and better each time I see him. I find it amazing-is he chewing gum and singing at the same time-and he sounds so good! Congratulations on the Grammy nomination and your ASCAP Award. You R.O.C.K.

  • hahaha! Thought I was commenting on the "I Saw Momma Kissing Santa" song. ooops!!

    I DO love this song too. :)

  • John's version of this song makes this one of my VERY favorite Christmas songs!!! Love it, love it, love it!!!

  • What an amazing show!! Thanks for posting this awesome video!!

  • I was so happy when he added this song to the set list. It's such a classic.

    I love this man.

  • this is such a fantastic song; even better live!

    Thanks for posting!

  • Fantastic Song! 5*****
