    I have no problem with this stripped down version. And let's not forget, its John's song, he can play it how he wants to. 👍🎸

    When you write an iconic song that so many people connect with...I think you have the right to perform it in any way you choose.

    He should really let the guitarists in his band play this song. I thought it was impossible to make a vintage Martin guitar sound so badly...until Mellencamp started strumming it.

    hey, in case you forgot why you are playing this song you are an entertainer, ,,you created this song ,Wrote it..people connected with it,,, bought it made you wealthy, A little more appreciation for the fans that paid to hear you and the other entertainers at farm aid. It was these people who put you there. Just a comment from a fan who is probably as crusty as you.

      @Ystadcop 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Right. He took all the drama out of the song. I've been gigging this for years. I use a tuned down 12 string and belt the power chords and the riff. A pleasure to play, always goes down well because the crowd are far more interested in singing along than listening to me.

    • @Wunderdogg

    Most people probably can't fathom how
    many times he's played this since he was Johnny Couger. Hilarious teen age stage name BTW. This is a very fun song to play if you arent contractually obligated. I guess. I dont think I've seen him do the hammer slide bit. He didn't this time.

    This is why I don't go to concerts anymore. The artist sings only part of the song, pointing to the audience or in some other way insinuating that they want the audience to sing the song while they remain silent. I didn't pay good money to hear myself or the people around me sing the songs I came to hear the artist sing. It's a rip off! The star already knows we are familiar with their music... that's why we came. We want YOU, Mr. or Mrs. Rock Star, to entertain us!
