- Great live version of What If I came knocking" performed by John Mellencamp and his band during the live show "Human Wheels Special 1993". Take a look at Kenny Aronoff on drums...enjoy.
Eccezionale versione di What if I came knocking di John Mellencamp, tratto dallo special tv Human Wheels Special 1993
I met Kenny Aronoff yesterday during a clinic with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top. Had a great time with them, so lucky!
One of the best guitarist of all time 🎸
With one of the best drummer of all time 🥁
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!
this has a gin blossoms feel.. same year.. 1993 or so..
Amen. They were smokin
Yep. Huge crush on Lisa.
Larry and Kenny, together, made what I think is the most powerful lineup Mellencamp had.
The BEST
JCM never followed any trends and has put out all killer albums for 4 decades. Great artist.
A man who knows who he is. Love him!
I swear God was behind him. He told everyone to F off and kept having 1’s. He has a light around him.
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 .
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.
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.
Kenny is the engine room 😊
You got that right, Dave. Its tight and right. What if John Mellencamp came knocking? Oh, boy.
Just watched this today, God damn the energy of this band is insane!
@@noelashman8519 Agreed!
This the best of mellencamp
This is a band in the zone. So tight. One of the best John Mellencamp performaces I have ever seen.
most of his really good songs like this one never made it on popular radio play lists.
Loved that Kenny was playing drums for the Beatles' 50th anniversary!
My favorite John Mellencamp song🤘🤘🤘💚💚💚
We love you John🎤🎤🎤
The band is rockin' it big time. Kenny is possessed.....solid beat man!!!
I love Mellencamp's drummer!
Nobody can out do Aronoff on the drums!
That is as good as the recorded version!
Richard Carey better lol!
Better!!!👌👌👌
Better ??
Better
@@sloooog He was known as John Cougar, then John Mellencamp.
my favorite mellencamp song...doesn't get the attention it deserves..
Best drummer in rock...for a treat, hear him playing live on Fortunate Sone with Fogerty...best drum-fills in rock
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!
Human wheels is a great song, isn't it!?
John is simply the best!! This song rocks !! Whats not to like! Ive seen him live 15 tomes in my life and he never disappoints!! His band is unequaled
One of the best live recordings of a concert that I have ever heard.
By far👌👌👌
Wow, what happy memories this song brings back, so amazing... love, love, love it!!!!
Love that John makes sure each performance is excellent. Love this song!
what a badass tune
Fa-la-la-la.., love that insert! Like this a lot!!
Hello Beautiful how are you doing!!
This is the best of mellencamp better than before
Kenny A bringing it on the skins! ROCK ON!
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!
Aron off beats the hell out of those drums! I love to watch him.
Kenny is cool
one of the all time best songs to get you moving, dancing or just tapping your feet, pure rock
frickin great
Kenny Aronof ripping the skims is awesome
This mellencamp at his best
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
Absolutlty amazing
I remember watching this on a Saturday in 1993. Human wheels is still my favorite album of his.
Fantastic band !
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.
Kenny is kickin it...SWEET!!!!! Love the passion in his playing..awesome.
This the best mellencamp music
this song absolutely rips!!! love live rock!
From a small town Indiana boy also, can't get enough Mellencamp! He epitomizes small town Indiana living!
this is why I like live rock n roll times!
kenny is the best beat drummer in history.hes played with anyone whos anyone.
Another Cougar Classic , Keep on Rocking John.
Fantastic !!
So this is essentially the best song ever…
Exelente y Maravilloso Mellencamp...👍🏻
iconic live performance
Masterpiece
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.......
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.
Great song , Great Band.
What if I came crying, after just a few weeks
And said I misread my heart, this is not really ment to be
id punch you in the face and tell you to STFU!
Grande John Mellencamp 🎼❤️🎼👌
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?

I saw this tour at star lake amphitheater in burgettestown pa i love what if I came knocking one of my favorites by mr cougar

That’s better than the album version and better than the Letterman version. Great!
I love the background vocals...fa la la la ❤
great performance of a seldom heard song, thanks JCM!!
Love Kenny on drums
Amazing performance from everyone.
Killing it!
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
This is better than old stuff
Nobody puts on a show light John mellencamp he puts on the best live show
One of my favorite songs ever. Practically the theme song of my life.
Smokin!
I think him and his original band are great
All the band
This is a great one
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..
Very good Mellencamp song,
WOW! I'm usually not impressed by live performances, but JM and his band/backup singers r definitely the exception! Every.Single.Time. 🎶🎶🎶😎
the drummer is enjoying himself
His drummer then was bad azzzzz-z❤
He gets 10 thou N hr for lessons woooop!
love this video
great
i saw him at the orpheum in boston 10 feet away.......what a show!!!!
How long ago?
Be still my heart
Love ❤️
Hello Patricia how are you doing!!
Melloncamp.always has the sense. Of havimg talented band on stage
The most underrated mellencamp song in history.🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤ p.s. lol, what you think is none of my biz
Lisa Germano is a Godess!!!
She can't dance. lol
Haunting....its subtly spiritual
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I just don't know why he don't get more air play, he is so awesome, he is better than zeppelin.
And the quality of songwriting and performance are always there. This is what happens when you are not a slave to drugs.
great isr
Great arrangement … where it totally goes up gears is last verse sung an octave up and same with the last chorus leading into the Kicks…. Hair on the back of your neck stuff.
Kenny Aronoff, very similar drummer to Rob Hirst from Midnight Oil.
the content is so clear...but you know? you should "cuss underneath your breath" because those "loud crashes"...are public spectacles like "nuisances"...and authorities can sometimes be notified. And then "uh-oh"...!!!
good beat and cool rockin'!
Hammergeil
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.
DAYUM!!!!!
Classic
"i wonder why there is no dislikes" becus the song is so good
@TheTSpicer I bought this the day it came out! In 1993.
Great

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!
Agree 1000%.
What if I came kickin', kick, kick, kick
