John Mellencamp - Jack & Diane (Live at Farm Aid 2021)

Farm Aid’s mission is to build a vibrant, family farm-centered system of agriculture in America. Farm Aid artists and board members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews and Margo Price host an annual festival to raise funds to support Farm Aid’s work with family farmers and to inspire people to choose family farm food. For more than 35 years, Farm Aid, with the support of the artists who contribute their performances each year, has raised more than $60 million to support programs that help farmers thrive, expand the reach of the Good Food Movement, take action to change the dominant system of industrial agriculture and promote food from family farms.

to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and/or probably will really LOVE john mellencamp

[simonedevlin]

"Jack and Diane" one of John Melencamp's theme songs which carries us back to the sweetest and innocent times. So fantastic that Ian Mellencamp has so much talent and charisma to continue the family tradition.

Was there and took my father-in-law to his first concert in many years. So grateful you posted this. Thanks for sharing.

[bbygrl]

I love that he's been supporting farmers for all these years!

[imra]

Oh yeah! Drinkin my wine and got chills singing with you guys! Love it!

[fredvance]

Willie, Neil and John have done more for "Family Farmers" than any three Politicians ever have.

I love this song and this toned down rendition of it.

[darryyllklarkey]

Stopping the song midway to remind the crowd how to sing it for at least it's a classic

[davidtaylor]

It sounds pretty good here he sounds like John mellencamp.. his voice is mostly gone now because of all that smoking

[Beerlust_AUS]

When he released this song, he was a "kid" as John said. He had to change his name multiple times to try to release himself from the crooked record contract he was signed to initially. We were all robbed of time with his musical genius while he battled his way through this time in his life. When he finally did, we got to see more of his musical & song writing genius. "Johnny Cougar" is one of the greatest artists I have been priviledged to be able to listen to & see perform. Long live JC or JCM, or however you know him.

Farm Aid was such a great experience! I'm so glad I got to go!

[martindaffner]

awesome singer songwriter, hope my kids love this music 2

[D-Fens_]

This reminds me of the time I saw Steve Miller in 96 and the crowd kept doing the clapping thing in Take the Money and Run no matter if it was the verse with the Texas reference or not.

[paulatatzel]

Mr. Mellencamp are these versions of songs available on CD, if not you should consider doing one

[mlbbacani]

I love John Mellencamp especially this song from Philippines!

[BerndPawlas]

one man one guitar no more else best ever!

[Chev-puyo]

Yeah, you did write this when you were kid. Many good songs for you back then and since. Rumbleseat, saved me. Picked me back up again a few times.

Another extremely talented musician who's sadly lost his voice. I've seen him live, and thank God THIS was NOT what I heard.
