I met Kenny Aronoff yesterday during a clinic with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. Had a great time with them, so lucky!

[@julienravier9875]

One of the best guitarist of all time 🎸 With one of the best drummer of all time 🥁

@@piazman1976 oh how l wish l was there. Power to you good man.

[@peterguglietta5260]

This is one of the best live performances you will see from anyone. The band is absolutely locked in. Aronoff and Grissom are on fire, John is in great voice as are his back-up singers, and he's owning the stage. And Lisa Germano is the secret weapon here. If this performance doesn't get you going, check your pulse!

[@reg12269]

this has a gin blossoms feel.. same year.. 1993 or so..

[@rapbuck3]

Amen. They were smokin

[@rapbuck3]

Yep. Huge crush on Lisa.

[@ahayahshouse5344]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@byronryan4216]

You’re absolutely right dude … 🇦🇺

[@Thompsongs]

Larry and Kenny, together, made what I think is the most powerful lineup Mellencamp had.

[@gwenmccarthy5078]

The BEST

[@danielhackleman2140]

So true. Watching him when he started. Magical still.

[@peterbelton9205]

This the best of mellencamp

[@gregoryvanhalen]

JCM never followed any trends and has put out all killer albums for 4 decades. Great artist.

[@marshabailey772]

A man who knows who he is. Love him!

[@RachaelPearson-i8j]

I swear God was behind him. He told everyone to F off and kept having 1’s. He has a light around him.

[@maninthebuff]

It doesn't get much better than this. John is great here, but the tightness of this band takes it to a whole new level.

[@noelashman8519]

Kenny is the engine room 😊

[@anastasioskalomiris8486]

You got that right, Dave. Its tight and right. What if John Mellencamp came knocking? Oh, boy.

[@johnkelly8416]

Just watched this today, God damn the energy of this band is insane!

[@paulmcconkey637]

@@noelashman8519 Agreed!

[@marlew6629]

This is a band in the zone. So tight. One of the best John Mellencamp performaces I have ever seen.

[@ILVBIGBUTS]

Because it's not controversial, because it doesn't push boundaries, because it doesn't favor one side or the other, because it's all about a guy who stayed true to his roots and his beliefs. Yes it's a kick ass album - and still to this day it's relevant.

[@sachsgs2509]

My favorite John Mellencamp song🤘🤘🤘💚💚💚 We love you John🎤🎤🎤

[@1gunther1]

my favorite mellencamp song...doesn't get the attention it deserves..

[@maxfrasier]

yes masterpiece

[@christiandubois1578]

Kenny Aronoff a good drummer with impressive hitting power. So Happy New Year 2025 & rockin' in the free world always.

[@tyronekillian3619]

Mellencamp truly captured the thrill of passion with his song "What if I came Knocking ". No other entertainer or singer could capture such a feeling as John Mellencamp of life and emotion in that era .

[@darrellsherman6137]

most of his really good songs like this one never made it on popular radio play lists.

[@josephhickman9013]

Kenny Aronof ripping the skims is awesome

[@nimba1966]

Absolutlty amazing

[@TonyinMBSC8669]

John is a true American Icon who is an awesome singer / songwriter. This song along with the title track of this album "Human Wheels' are two of my favorite Mellencamp classics! Saw him a few times LIVE, each time it was incredible!

[@ala2121]

Human wheels is a great song, isn't it!?

[@paulmcconkey637]

The band is rockin' it big time. Kenny is possessed.....solid beat man!!!

[@LaylaSims]

I love Mellencamp's drummer!

[@larrybrooks2788]

Nobody can out do Aronoff on the drums!

[@carmenronyak1321]

Saw this tour live 1994 summerfest milwaukee as my first real concert...was great,of course...midwest values EXPRESSED! Keep it up...humans is US.

[@williamjewell29]

[@LaniJane100]

Loved that Kenny was playing drums for the Beatles' 50th anniversary!

[@DS-bi3fz]

Band is tight beyond measure. So much charisma, especially John and the singers. Probably never surpassed; lucky it was filmed… oh yeah editing nailed it too.

[@Truthmoses]

Best drummer in rock...for a treat, hear him playing live on Fortunate Sone with Fogerty...best drum-fills in rock

[@marshabailey772]

Love that John makes sure each performance is excellent. Love this song!

Fa-la-la-la.., love that insert! Like this a lot!!

[@larrybill2661]

Hello Beautiful how are you doing!!

[@screwyootube1]

Kenny Aronoff IS very cool to watch! He's a journeyman drummer, played with scores of different singer/bands! He can play drums for any style, but puts his own signature on what he plays! Thanks for uploading this! One of the great, lesser-known Mellencamp hits! John sounds pretty good here, too!

[@larrybrooks2788]

Aron off beats the hell out of those drums! I love to watch him.

[@mixhaelamikovich]

Kenny is cool

[@jeffreytahvonen5818]

kenny is the best beat drummer in history.hes played with anyone whos anyone.

[@susanjames6989]

Omg..you son are a great soul..I'm so happy J posted this note..he really is a true small town boy. I as well came to know him in 76..some years ago. He has always influenced millions by his compassionate words. May God Bless you and keep you safe. From one love baby to another!aka Sususudio

[@bport48]

one of the all time best songs to get you moving, dancing or just tapping your feet, pure rock

[@jacksparrow525]

From a small town Indiana boy also, can't get enough Mellencamp! He epitomizes small town Indiana living!

[@cliffordmilne1244]

Just listened to the studio version of this again. Reminded of how rock was mixed back in the day. Vocals were a part of the band, just another instrument, not sitting out the front like everything is these days. Such a cohesive locked in sound.

[@carriebay]

I remember watching this on a Saturday in 1993. Human wheels is still my favorite album of his.

[@TheBerserker50]

what a badass tune

[@ironheads6172]

this is why I like live rock n roll times!

[@nickjaramillo8265]

Nobody puts on a show light John mellencamp he puts on the best live show

That’s better than the album version and better than the Letterman version. Great!

So this is essentially the best song ever…

[@susanperetto522]

[@lnm7276]

A ballistical live showing of a band that has honed it's artistry to the point that it pars and perhaps exceeds a studio recording. Damn! this is one Kicker talented Band.......

Great voice, great music seen him live in the UK twice and love the guy. I would love to visit his hometown in Indianna someday to see where his genius was raised. I love the fact that John has championed the poor folk.

[@LaylaSims]

What If I Came Knocking (Lyrics and Music by John Mellencamp) What if I came knocking On your front door some night? Would you open the window And drop me down the key? What if I came knocking On your bedpost that same night? Would you open up your heart Or try to get the best of me? What if I came knocking On your brain the next day And ask for your truth and your love and your honesty? Would you build up your big walls And try to hide behind that smile Or would you try to pull the wool right over me? So what if I came knocking? So what if I came knocking? So what if I came kicking And it scared you a little bit And I came on strong Would you think That there's something wrong with me? Or could it be your fears Of trying something real Or just afraid to touch A guy like me? What if I came knocking? What if I came knocking? What if I came knocking On your front door some night? Ahh So let's just say it worked out Like a storybook dream And we lived happily ever after Fa la la la But what if I came crying After just a few weeks And said I misread my heart This is not really meant to be? yeah So if you hear some knocking On your window tonight You can bet that it's probably me But let it be known That we're just a pair of tumbling dice And the outcome of these crap shoots Is hard to see So what if I came knocking? So what if I came knocking? So what if I came knocking On your front door tonight? Ahh So what if I came knocking? Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knocking Kick, kick, kick What if I came knocking On your front porch tonight, tonight?

[@Curseofsuperbowl49]

There are lots of mellencamp stuff i love, i am glad really he isnt that commercially well known over here ....... apart from Jack /Diane etc .. I am sure that was just his record company trying to get some action over here, those are not even his best songs..

[@chasinthewind1198]

This is a great one

[@jst1674]

Interesting comment by WishRepair! Having grown up when Springsteen broke into the scene on WMMS (Cleveland radio) he really seemed to speak for the everyday man, while Johnny Cougar was pushed to a pop sound from his record company. As time went Springsteen seemed to go a different path to me while Cougar became Mellencamp and his songs were about the common man and their plights. While Springsteen still has some good songs I think John Mellencamp has become the spokesman for common man!
