John Mellencamp - Pink Houses (Live at Farm Aid 1987)

John Mellencamp performs "Pink Houses" at Farm Aid III held on September 19, 1987 in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp founded Farm Aid in 1985 and serve on the board of directors. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. Farm Aid III was held in Lincoln, Nebraska at Memorial Stadium. Artists including Emmylou Harris, Steppenwolf, Vince Gill, Lyle Lovett, John Denver, Lou Reed, Joe Walsh, and many more performed.
Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

[@monsterford8009]

My mom was married to one of his cousins in the early 90s , I thoroughly enjoyed my childhood in Seymour.

[@1cdfan]

One thing about JM....He got into his music and it really meant something to him; he wasn't just trying to get attention

[@Ginnyvapes]

Kind of dislikes it. I think it's sad you have to fight between being an artist & celeb.

[@rsu8689]

I just want to talk to you I won't do you no harm I just want to know about your different lives On this here p***y farm

[@Atlas_Mohler]

And he just happened to have a badass band

[@douglascasey3486]

I love how he felt it during the chorus at 2:26. It's one of the greatest feelings when your doing your songs. With just a little giggle.

He is not a hero.

Before they called it “Americana”, there was John Mellencamp..

[@timothyball7502]

Wow I just had to be there. What fabulous memories. 1987, I was younger than I am now--10-11-2021. Age 69 soon to be 70.

[@ariellyn7253]

Yep, I remember dancing like he is in this video. Had forgotten all about that. Being a fellow Hoosier from IU but from NW Indiana, I'm proud to have Mellencamp be one of our favorite son's. Him and Bob Knight, Lol...........!!

[@jimbo.fife.05]

Love, love, love Johnny Mellencamp. As an Aussie, I can understand why Americans love one of their favourite sons. A man who's not pretentious and throws everything into his songs. Cheers...

He may Own a house there but his permanent (main) residence is a lakeside mansion on Lake Monroe in Bloomington,Indiana. I used to live about 2 miles from it , have since moved across town but it's HUGE ! Do a search to check out the pics of his Estate.

Was this at Lincoln, NE? If so, I was there! geez can't remember what year it was but I remember it being a blast being there! I remember they covered the football field at Memorial stadium and when the concert was done there was SO many booze bottles and trash that I think they never again duplicated having a concert like that again at least at that time since it was such a mess. I don't remember if the field was compromised from it or not! anyone else at this concert if it was the one at

when you realize that the New-Grass/Progressive Americana genre would witness a substantial revival in the late 2000's, it kinda puts this particular line-up slightly ahead of their time.

I've always wondered just how much of that money raised actually went to help save "family" farms. Never have been able to get an answer to that question. In fact, simply asking that question seems to provoke anger and abuse.
