John Mellencamp - Small Town (Live at Farm Aid 1987) 

This was one of my husband's favorite songs he was born in a small town and he was a farmer he has been gone for 2 years 6 months in John mellencamp was one of his favorite singers I play the song at his funeral I find myself listening to all of my husband's favorite songs I can still see my husband today singing your song and dancing God be with all of us

In the 80's I drove semi, hauling Ford production parts. In Indiana the radio was all John. When in Detroit and Michigan the radio was Bob Seger, Northern IN and Southern MI it was both......man that was the best of times!

Who's out there just chilling in a small Town 😊😊😊

All man if i could go back to the 80s

Thank you farmers for feeding America and the world 💗

Such feel good music!! I'm 65 & still loving it, fantastic performer🎯

You can tell how happy he is to sing to his people. Beautiful moment!

Real music. Real life. And back when life was normal. Send me back in time.

Big time philanthropist. People can go ahead and put some respect on John Mellencamp.

who is outthere in 2020 watching john sing this great song in a small town ?????

Amazing he is, I went into a small biker bar and a band was playing, the lead singer was amazing, I just went crazy, my date drug me out before I could finish my drink, then later I discovered that it was John Mellencamp.,

I was there in the middle of the crowd on the field with my girlfriend...Miss those times and a great cause to help farmers.

whatever he's taking i want. that's some energy he's bringing.

The 80's what a decade. It seemed like the decade the entire world started coming together.

THE ONLY song about Small Town that I'll listen to! Thank you John!!

John is a legend. An icon. Pure and simple!

John and the band at the height of their musical powers!

I'm 70 and this performance just rocks me

There is a lot of talent on that stage. To bad you don't see that today.

Back in the 80's,this song spoke of dreams , inspiration and aspiration and up to this 2019...still gives me butterflies and goosebumps...where have real musicians gone.........

He sounds the same live as he does in his in recording studio...No lip syncing... That's pure raw talent.

They were definitely having the best times of their lives

Anyone who calls Mr, Mellancamp A One Hit Wonder is nothing short of delusional. John's songs have remained in the foreground of Rock n Roll for the last four decades. His career started on a shaky premise that he despised. As soon as he fulfilled his contractual obligations to those who told him he needed to incorporate dance Routines and to wear tight shirts; he changed back to himself and gave us songs that reflected brightly on a way of life that is cherished across generations. His songs speak of a deeply felt understanding of how the world shapes us and the collective wisdom he imparts in these wonderful stirring axioms that remind us that we all face life on our own merits. He brings us a comfort of words and a healing of music. He is undoubtedly an American icon and a truly gifted musician. One of the best singer song writers we have ever seen and a gift to the people who hear his voice.

life goes on.....long....after the thrill of livin' is gone.

An amazing transformation as an artist and human being though his songs suggest as much.

LOVE the AIR TONIGHT

John Mellencamp is a 100% Heartland Rocker and has consistently produced some of the world's greatest and most imaginative music - would just love to see him live!! Just LOVE this fantastic atmospheric and unpretentious performance!! Keep on rockin' John!!

Love his music...beautiful hair and super pleasing to the eye during this era.

I think of my home town of Longmeadow Massachusetts when I hear this song. It's a great town to grow up in. It is PURE HEAVEN! 🙏☮️✌️

Best Small Town song!

Memories of the 80s they were a blast

Now this is American music. 🇺🇸

Had a friend back in high school looked just like him

Still totally off the hook ! No candy coated bullshit , just real music that means a lot, to a lot of people.

Americana at its finest 🇺🇸🎻🎸

Mellencamp is one hell of a musician.

I had forgotten that John had let his hair grow long for a bit. Looks good on him. I love how thw crowd was so with them on this song. And the fiddle player is hot hot hot! Nothing like a small town... And that's prolly where they'll bury me too

Who else is beginnin 2019 rockin an rollin an enjoyin blues thanks to John Mellencamp songs?

A small TOWN

Go John Mellencamp You are a great performer and singer !!

John is one of them Who is very talented and never sang a bad song just like bob seger & Peter Frampton & Tom petty

He had so much fun, back in the day. Warms my heart to watch these old ones

The best !! ..... Thanks John .

That's because he is THAT GOOD!!! Helluva songwriter!!! Helluva catalog!

Live rock & roll doesn't get a whole lot better than this...

The GOAT

Took my daughter to Bloomington to see a “Little 500 Concert” she was 10 at the time. Got to see the show from the side of the stage. We flew in from NY. Met Kenny☺️. 1992.

Ah yes 80s jeans 1987 stone washed! Everybody like in uniform! Mississauga ontario Canada! back then for me in high school

beautiful

Not quite born then, yet. But man, those were the days!

Jesus, one of the best live from Mellencamp!

Luv this song John is a legend but will always be a small town boy at heart. He more than obviously loves where he is from & knows the people will always have his back & truly love him there. I luv John’s hair in this video!! ❤️🥰🇺🇸

OMGolly jumpin' Jesus! Look at how adorable you are! That hair!!! Full of vim and vigor! 87 was a good year!

Always kicks musical ass everywhere he performs. Music from the heart, something that doesn't exist today. Noticed in the end, he was short of breathe from all that dancing around. Heavy smoking taking its toll even back then. God bless him and his music.

johnny and i both wish we had 1/16th of the energy today he had back in '87!!

OMG look at his hair. Glory days.

Too many memories.....amazing songs.

His music sticks with you. The hair, he tucked-in t-shirt....pure gold.

Great singer and performer.

Every time I listen to this song it reminds me of that same small town that I grew up. It's like he made a song about all of us.

Great time that day was.

Why couldn’t he stay this beautiful?!

I'm from NW Indiana and John was from Seymour, IN, a small town and more rural. But as a Hoosier who graduated from IU, I'm proud of our 2 most famous citizens: John Mellencamp and Bob Knight, Lol...............

Love ❤ his big smile at ending!

Omg ! I was so “in love” with him ! 🥰😆, but still love his music !

Beautiful

The fiddle player is damn fine.

This was Johns peak, great songs and the best band he ever had..

love gouger great front man and singer xx

Dancing with that guitar! Amazing talent

Never forget forever

Loved John good solid performer and singer with ageless voice. His band always cooked with the great Kenny Aronoff steering the ship on the drums 😎🤘

I was born in a small town. And a lil bit of small town. Brought it down in the small town

Oh, what you've done to your voice with all that smoking. It's good to come back to these oldies and see the true happiness you now lack on stage. Thanks for giving me front row seats and all the wonderful memories.

Was this concert 🎤🎸 in the 90's 😁

Absolutely amazing!! John Cougar Mellencamp your music never gets old♥️

Makes me sad thinking about my small town. Such an amazing time of my life!!

I forgot John Mellencamp used to borrow Jon Bon Jovi's wig. He looks as cool as the song. 1987 was a great year. I was 21 and having fun

He represents America's Country rock hands down. If you just want to feel good about being an American, listen to him.

Love it when rockers sound this great live! Journey in Houston 1981' queen live aid in 1985

JOHN MELLENCAMP SONG SMALL TOWN A GREAT SINGER ITS IN MY SOUL LOVE TO LISTEN TO HIM SING.
