- John Mellencamp opens for Heart at The Summit in Houston TX on November 15, 1982. Riding high on the Number 1 album American Fool and top ten hits Hurt So Good and Jack & Diane.
This is the John Mellencamp I grew up on and love. Really miss that classic band with Larry Crane, Toby Myers and Kenny Aronoff
Is Toby still playing with him? Kenny is the shit no matter who he's playing with!
Agreed, I never saw Larry live with John, not sure what happened there but John is definitely ALL about himself, only Mike could put up with his arrogance for all these years
@@toddshroyer4227 no Toby's been gone for years. Mike Wanchik is the only one left from that band.
@@rock90753 Money, it's always about money. Plus John and Larry have known each other since they were kids and John was always making all kinds of snide remarks about Larry.
@@bitchnguy Agreed, and let's face it, John can make magic with any musicians. Watch the 'John Mellencamp Human Wheels in Chicago 9/11/1993' concert (great) and in the middle he says something like "this is me every day", and to me it was very dismissive of the band. Ie. it should have been "this is us every day".... not 'me'....
Mellencamp with his original band, back when they rocked
1. Thirty Days in the Hole
2. Ain't Even Done with the Night
3. Thundering Hearts
4. Hand to Hold On To
5. Hurts So Good
6. Jack & Diane
7. This Time - alternate rocked up version
8. I Need a Lover
9. You Can't Always Get What You Want
10. Hurts So Good (reprise)
"Ain't Even Done With the Night" is also rocked up, and Kenny kills it. I can't even listen to the album version anymore.
I never got to see any of his concerts so I am double glad to find this it really brought back some good memories I could relate to a lot of his music and when he came out with Authority Song I was sold and then Rain on the Scarecrow his best work.
Another living legend,Rock On
John Mellencamp,from a Fan of yours for most of your past and continuing career,by the way my name is Doug and I am just about to turn 71 years old.

Agree with you!!! Love the Authority Song too!! I was lucky enough to be in a video, albeit from a distance. He did the video for "Check it Out" live , but it took many, many takes (planned), Like the song had to stop many times while they were filming it and the lights were directed to the crowd for key shots, especially toward the end of the video. He was so popular at the time of the video production, that in Indy he had to have multiple concert dates all in a row (in a 17,000 seat arena - MSA). He was very appreciative of the audience's patience during the taping. There were mechanically driven boom camera operators everywhere. Here's the official video for the song: ruclips.net/video/8qxDBiiVjlQ/видео.html
I was lucky to see him about a month prior to this. It was in Greensboro NC in Oct. of the same year. He opened for Heart, but at the time Jack & Diane was at #1 on the chart. Great memories...
Brings back great memories from Castle Farms in Charlevoix Michigan. Mellencamp, Petty, REO Speedwagon, The Police, Def Leppard, Cheep Trick, Bob Segar. Seems like we loaded a keg in the back of the truck every weekend back in the early 80s and headed to the Castle.
Dang bro, these are memories for sure. He rocked , they rocked, there was rock everywhere.
man ,,for 35 years i been tell'n people that Melloncamp rocks .....in the 80s i gave Melloncamp LPs CDs to friends and family for christmas presents
I wish he still did!
I saw him a few times back in the day!! His music really got me through some interesting times in my life. And he put on a great show! One of my favorites for sure. Thanks for sharing.
I went to his concert on March 22,2024 and he was awesome
Really? How’s his voice now? Sometimes his voice sounds so gravelly I can’t take it.
For a guy who said in a Recent Sammy Hagar "I hated touring and performing in the. Beginning....he sure does seem to be having a GOOD TIME !!!
I'd hate performing too if I had wore those skinny jeans & tied up t-shirt.
The way Kenny locks in that groove at 7:03... damn. That's so much better than the version on the record (which he didn't play on). The man is a machine, and that snare sound is one of a kind. I wonder if John's brief crackup when he starts singing is a measure of appreciation of that.
Saw this show in Providence, RI 10/9/82. It was my 3rd concert.
Loved this band since summer of high school graduation, 1979. Needless to say more....
This was the Mellencamp band that rocked & was so much fun to watch & listen to such a great time.
These were the best times of our life thank you jon
Those were the days. I saw him back then. It was amazing.
I saw this show 10 days before (11/5/82) in Greensboro, NC. "Jack & Diane" had been at #1 the whole month of October, so I was already a fan. I'd loved Heart for years, so it's one of my fondest concert memories.
First big concert I went to !!! Love Heart ! Liked Cougar's old stuff better ! He really put on a show !!! Heart and John Cougar blessed with Talent !!! Please bring Music back like this !!!
Damn the energy here is just love n rock baby! Got tickets to the older cougar in Vegas March 24th Wynn I hope it’s half this good and I’ll be happy!!!😊
Humble Pie got covered by mellencamp... am I in heaven!?!?
This is hands down the best version of his career. I wonder how many people walked out after this performance, since Heart was not in the best phase of their careers.
City's Burning and How Can I Refuse are Heart fan favorites from this era of Heart.
I saw two shows on that tour. Most people were there for Heart. Heart was good but not as great as in the early days. John Cougar gave them a big run for their money, as did Ian Hunter in 1980. Once Roger Fisher was out of Heart, they lost their rocking edge and guitar muscle.
We stayed. :) Happy to find this because I had no recollection of this show other than him cursing a lot when he first came out. Honestly surprised this is up, not remembering this show has been a big bummer to me. Cause now, I take video of every show I go to. And this show was one to remember, damn!
@DeadMikeConcertVideos
@@flazjsg 100 % correct sir
@@DeadMikeConcertVideos I don't remember this either, I saw him at ASTROWORLD, in Houston in 1983 I think

Thank you so much for posting this. It’s Great!!! It’s the first time I ever seen him do thundering hearts. I have always loved that song.
He’s always put on a helluva show
No drunk or drugged up performances by these guys
Love all the old songs this clip includes👍
The million dollar recording contract is yours John if you wear these skinny jeans and tie up your shirt like a girl.
That was then, so now they're able to get singers to be q** to get that contract.
John Cougar, One of My Favorites from the 1970's, Awesome Singer 🎤✌️😎🤘🤘
Really 70s dummy
I just love John Mellencamp love him too pieces and I think that's he awesome
Wow !
What a band ! Tight as hell.
Not as tight as his pants!

This is awesome!
Ahhhhh. Sooo Gooood !!!
Great Memories Made for Sure !!! 🥰🙆♀️🤘🤩
Hello Donna how are you doing!!
24:24 cringyest concert moment I've seen in a long while. At least this version of Jack and Diane is actually live unlike the fake version on SCTV. He wrote some good tunes and the drummer he almost fired is really good.
ha ha, yea, agree with that, couldn't believe he was doing that having seen him in concert a few years after this (and he was done with this type of stuff)
Thanks for uploading this! Rockin' awesome!
Hello Michelle how are you doing!!
Kenny Aronoff DESTROYING it on drums 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Kenny, Larry C, Toby, Mike all made Mellencamp what he is today ..
Extraordinario Guau me fascina 🤩❤️😘👋👋👋👋👋👋
thanks for posting i saw this tour in md it was so much fun
Lucky you:)
Hello Sharon how are you doing!!
Great song to open with ,,, Younger is always so beautiful ,,, Mis ya man ,,, Peace Buddy

19:00 Hurt so Good

28:23 This Time
32:53 original start to I Need A Lover, accept John stops to tell you that about the 3 minute version is how the song should start and not the 5 minute one, however the 5 minute one is better
35:03 I need a Lover
43:00 You Can't Always get what you want (Rolling Stones cover)
50:05 Hurt So Good (Encore)
the Jam is just a rocked up version of This Time
@@bitchnguy Thanks I wasn't familiar with that song.
At 10:34 is Thundering Hearts
Cabo Diablo the jam is actually the original start to I Need A Lover, accept John stops to tell you that about the 3 minute version is how the song should start and not the 5 minute one, however the 5 minute one is better
Saw John and the band open for Heart in Tulsa in '82. John ripped his pants, left the stage momentarily, but the band played on.
I miss the good old days when rock was rock. Get the original band back JM
This Man really took me for a ride back in the day,,,tault me a lot 🇺🇲
Come on let's go 🎸🤠🇺🇲
Love this man 🇺🇲
If anyone knows about rock and roll its John Mellncamt 🇺🇲🎸
He always had so much energy in the early era no wonder he just relaxes and paints now 😂
Their version of 30 days in the hole is fantastic
OMG!!! How great was that?!!!! It's just 30 days!!
Real music.
Mellencamp is cool and his band is "Kickass" awesome!
John Mellencamp balloon party 13:47 lol! Mathew Mcghay impression, Alright, alright, alright 28:32 lol! Mellencamp Dance Party 33:27 Don't worry, I love you John Mellencamp!
I want a good sounding video of this. is there one out there ? money is no issue !
In the next year he would become one of the top songwriters., stage performers and music acts out there. The band started to gell and he learned how to perform and really write. He is still tooo raw here jumping around with no purpose. When he got to Scarecrow, Lonesome5 Jubilee and Big Daddy the band matured. And unfortunately broke up.
Why did they break up?
and this is before Pink Houses
Só tem coisas boas,para não dizer excelentes .
I didn realize Jack & Diane had come out by Nov. of 1982? Wow, I thought it was a little later than that. Was it a radio hit yet at this time?
Back when a 'new' act could be in their early 30s.
What do you mean? He was also popular in his 20's
@@dabneyoffermein595 I absolutely love that earlier stuff. But he didn't really break out in America until American Fool. Maybe he was 29.5 the first time he barely cracked the top 20. Won't split hairs. No question that in the early 80s, it was far less about teenagers watching other teenagers. I'm not even sure I can think of anyone under 21 who was big in music in 1982. Even artists who had teenish personas- like Cyndi Lauper and Toni Basil- were over 30. I think Basil was close to 40!
I realize from interviews that he "don't care" but he comes across as a real Richard in every interview or appearance. just sayin
Any other John Mellencamp show's from the Summit in Houston from 1987/88 that you have and are able to share?
19:00 Hurts So Good
Was they. With my gril friend.
Damn he loves his band mates!!
Not sure you are being sarcastic or not. He was an ass to his bandmates, big big ego and deservedly so, he's a legend
I dare say this 50 minute set was better than Heart lol.
fuck yeah!
Awesome show. How did you find it?
Anonymous source sent it to me.
Does the anonymous sources have a copy of the scarecrow and lonesome jubillie tour?
Mellencamp TV Thank you anonymous source and thank you Mellencamp TV for posting. I saw him the summer of ‘82 in Vegas (opening for Heart). It’s so cool to see now what I saw then that left such an impression. What a showman.
Who are the female backup singers?
@@mellencamptv6902 he wouldn’t have the concert where Bruce Springsteen joined him on stage in 87 and sang This land is your land
R u allowed to play the same song twice at a concert I guess John can lol!!
30 Days in the Hole
(Humble Pie cover)
Jack & Diane
I Need a Lover
Ain't Even Done with the Night
Hurts So Good
This Time
Did we watch the same concert?
who was that lead guitarist, wow.
最高！
Is this Kenny on drums?
If they did it was because they don't know great music
I was at his concert in Denver that year. It was way better than this. It was recorded on the radio that night and my little sister recorded it. I still have it on cassette tape. Amazing!!!
Upload it and post it!
He must have saw Steve and Peter doing this !
It's kinda funny that in Haggard, Bam Margera's film (check it out if ya haven't), Raab sings Jack n Diane in the shower scene (hilarious by the way) and Raab kinda resembles Cougar. Just an observance.
Oh .....😏
I saw this show at the LA forum. I was surprised at how tight the band was. Great! Heart was borderline forgettable. Kenny Aronoff stole the show!!!
Watch THE POLICE in concert from the Omni Arena in Atlanta 1982 - same year as this show -- and The Police blow this off the map - not even close
Totally different genres, the Police and Mellencamp so how can you compare? Can’t like them both? Is music a competition or something to enjoy? I like them both but don’t like where Sting ended up. The Police had a good run of albums and so did Mellencamp 82 to 89 and then his Human Wheels band was great too. Who gets blown of the stage next? 😎
He's mad all the time
Kenny was the best
who told you the girl tie was cool?
John cougar acts sooooo trailer park.
Trailer parks must have thrived back then. 😂
Loved Mellencougarcamp,but holy crap could his outfit be any more gay?😂(not that there’s anything wrong with that)
I missed this show but saw him a couple times at the Summit in the 80’s when he was the headliner
It was the 80s 😂 plus John has a whacky sense of humour lol
U can't say gay anymore shame on u.
He was the Fonzie type, like he literally would have cigarettes tucked up in his sleeve,,, notice how he keeps rolling up his white t-shirt sleeves
Hahaha "Not that there's...." Nice.
that is silly..
The tied shirt looks ridiculous
yep, Johnny Cougar was far better than John Mellencamp
Never cared for cougar
🤮
??? Billy Squire danced like a pansy, it ended his career. John did it and became huge. Must be the songwriting
did it really end his career (Squire?)
