  • John Mellencamp performs "Paper in Fire" live at the Farm Aid concert in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 7th, 1990. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

    Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

    Badass song and Kenny Aronoff banging on the drums really takes it to the next level. Probably one of the tougher John Mellencamp songs to cover from a drumming standpoint.

    My fave song of his. I worked in radio most of my life. When I played this one I would turn on the monitors loud and just jam! The studios are soundproof so nobody realized unless they walked in i was jamming. Thry would get hit with a wall of sound if they walked in though! LOL

    Interesting how in 1990 the accordion and fiddle players were banished to the back of the stage away from the cool guitarists up front. Watch the same song performed in 2016 and these instruments are now front of stage.

    • @ericsfreshfishmarket5560
      @ericsfreshfishmarket5560 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's a good observation; wonder how much of it has to do with varying arrangements down through the years (26 in this case!). Perhaps the advent of world music has opened up more instruments into the mix (I'm thinking specifically of the cajon drum boxes here although many fit the discussion) and ear as well. Mellencamp is a Boomer, like me, and rock-n-roll pretty much began and ended with a hot guitar riff, but he's always used a variety of instruments to drive his songs, and the original Check it Out contained accordion as well. Thanks for the thought provoking comment, so many of these threads don't. :-)

I had it on my dvr but somehow lost it which sure made me a bit sad. Anyhow, she is very good and I like watching her play.
