Danmm son, this songs make me feel so American even though I am not.

[@scorpichella]

[@jonhayes370]

Unbelievable Live Show!!!! Love Some Good Ol JCM!!!!

[@kathleenholt8695]

[@monsterford8009]

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

[@njs810]

I attended this so am somewhere in that crowd... what a great memory. The good ol' days. :)

Lucky! Legendary performance

Me too! If you see me, wave. If I see you I shall wave. 10-11-2021

[@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.

[@stephaniesexton8600]

John Mellencamp is the epitome of a cool dude!

[@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.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...

[@larryklawiter9168]

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.

LOVE!! This is my favorite JM song of all time.

[@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

[@InAtlasAtLast]

And he just happened to have a badass band

[@toddhenderson8093]

I've only seen him live twice, but I still feel blessed . . . What passion, thanks John

[@Quin1344]

Whoa.... I remember this and I saw him on tour somewhere about this year or maybe even before.. dang... we were all so young! Great song!

John Mellencamp - Pink Houses ( Live at Farm Aid 1987 ) John loves his music ,he wasn't into it for a lot of attention just for the love of it .

My kids have no idea what good music is! I would love to take my daughter to a John Mellencamp concert! I know she would have a good time. They just cost so much more than when we used to go! lol Oh, But we had a good time!

it's okay to hear this every once in awhile on the radio traveling down the road, but I never feel like jumping up and down about it. Some in the audience obviously feel different about that.

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.

[@diligentsoul11]

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
