As others here have said human wheels, pretty much the whole thing is a masterpiece. It portrays the American experience as well as a Stienbeck novel. When he brought it to the record company suits they didn't want to put it out because there was no rap music in it. That was one of the reasons he ended up using Chevrolet to get his music out. No wonder the industry is in the tank.
Absolutely.no way they gonna play anything with the plight of Jackie Brown's life.the "real" people carry to much guilt where they have to admit that people live like Jackie Brown.it really sad when you think about it.😢😢
I didn't realize how much I loved this song until I bought his greatest hits collection and was playing THIS song over and over again. For one thing, the lyrics are such outstanding poetry, and the music is tops. I love the drum grove. Thanks for posting this vid. This specific performance is great.
I feel bad for knowing just this song from him. It is since its release that it keeps ticking in my brain from time to time... and the lyrics... well... I would have loved to write them myself. Great one indeed.
@Boss302fan Great way to put it,yes he is an exemption.I spent a few yrs. "married" to the business.John Mellencamp is where it all started.He is a walking contraindication but admits it.Love his music!!!I'm writing book,so many truths will come out in it.....so dif. behind the scenes then the fans really know.Almost laughable!!
Its JCM...hes in same level as Springsteen or Niel Young..Hank Williams or Woody Guthrie....he keeps on pushing the rock up the hill just like those guys........thx buddy
Hes the best song writer the US ever had!!! Tells our story!
I still get chills every time I hear this song...
Human Wheels is a masterpiece... By far my favorite of his, with scarecrow a close second...
In my opinion ohne of the greatest songs ever. Extremely underrated.
Who are listening this great song???...2021...This song os still the BEST of allí...Great band ..From Peru....💟💟💟💟
Thank you for sharing this video.

..While the clock keeps the pace
"..let the voice of freedom
sing out through this land"
I was so happy when he added this song to the set list. It's such a classic.
I love this man.

Both this song and Jackie Brown were criminally underrated. Glad to see that John keeps rockin'.
Totally agree

@@pippocalippo2447 The strong violin overtones added a new dimension to this live performance.
