Can someone please send me the mp3 file for the heavy drum version of the Jack and Diane song?? send to [email protected]
thank you

I think you are thinking of "Authority Song," not "Jack and Diane." He played a drum-heavy version of "Authority Song" in the spring of 2006. Check it out at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxtiT0puHpQ

I did check it out and that is not the version. thanks

I don't recall a heavy-drum version of "Jack and Diane." Can you be more specific as to what year/tour it was performed that way or exactly where you heard it?

I heard the song in worcester,Ma at his concert I think it was in 2004

The only shows he performed in '04 were the Vote for Change shows, and Worcester wasn't a part of that tour. I'll be glad to help, but I need to know what tour you are remembering.

it could be right after 9/11 0f 2001 maybe, I do Know that WZLX radio station plays it once an awhile, there out of Boston

Ah, the Cuttin' Heads tour version. I have that. I'll upload it tonight for you.

thats great thank you thank you thank you

Here you go, man. Enjoy.

This request comes in from certain radio markets that play the 2001 Cuttin Heads version of Jack & Diane that had what I call a Bo Diddley drum pattern to it.

John did a satellite radio interview tour from NYC where they played that version for numerous radio stations. The sound on that soundstage was really exceptional and many radio stations have continued to play that version on the radio.

Hey, sorry to bump a kinda old thread, but I've been looking for this song as well, and the hyperlink is no longer active...  Can anyone point me to where I can purchase or download it?

I'll re-upload it tonight for you. No worries.

Was this re uploaded? I clicked on the original link from April 13th and it comes up as not available. I like this version of the song as well - heard it for the 1st time at the Today Show taping on the Friday right before the 9\11 attacks in '01. It was really LOUD in the plaza and it sounded great live.

Thanks Pete

It won't be at that same link. I gotta dig it out (I've got a ton of CDs to wade through). I promise I will post it this weekend. Check this thread for the new link tomorrow or Saturday. Sorry for the delay.

OK excellent, no rush - thank you for your effort!

Pete

Here you go, you can download from the link below. This is a studio version. Enjoy.

It's a great version.  I love it when a musician can change a song up in such away that it doesn't end up losing its meaning.  The current version he's playing on the No Better Than This tour is also fantastic.

I've got to agree, loved the rendition of J&D on the tour, the beat was very contagious.

Oh my lord!! the 2006 version of Authority Song is hot!!  Loved this one, thanks for posting.  Gotta love Dane and how the whole gang was able to contribute to this one!!

Thanks for this.  Love it...very similar undertone to the current version on tour!

I hate to drag this thread back up from the dead, but I've been looking for this version of J&D for awhile, and haven't been able to find it. The current link posted has died off since the original post.

I apologize for bringing this back up, but I've been looking for this version for many years, and I only hear it on WZLX in Boston every so often.

Does anyone have a copy of this song that I can get my hands on?

Thanks in advance.

You can download it here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/xlb1r7

It's in .wav format so it will take a little longer to download than an MP3, but you'll benefit from it being lossless.

Love this one, thanks for finding and posting again!

My very favorite version of Jack and Diane!  Thank you so very much for sharing.  Made my day!!!!!!    :)

Here you go -- you can download both songs at the following link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/501ncz

I know its a bit old- but can some one revive the link?

I'm a 19 year old kid- loving on Mellencamp and have literally been looking for this version for half my life

I would just about die if I could get my hands on a copy of this version of the song
(both would be the best)

This is why I love this website, everyone willing to help each other!
I have met some very special people who live across the US and
would help me in minute.  Very special people Mellenheads!

I wish there was a great quality Cuttin' Heads tour boot out there...I once had a boot of the Red Rocks show, and there were fantastic versions of Gimme shelter, The Full Catastrophe and Paper in Fire, amongst others.

If anyone has any cool download links to shows (or the Jack and Diane soundstage version mentioned above, which I've never heard), I'd be really, really grateful.

The version of "Jack and Diane" you requested can be downloaded here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/vaw0lo

Let me know what else you're looking for and I'll try to get it uploaded for you.

Awesome, thanks Walktall.

Ideally I'm after any great soundboard recordings from 1999 onwards!

Nobody has any great shows from the last ten years or so...? :o

Walktall,

Sorry to request "another" upload of these great versions of those tunes, but those previous links are all dead now (argggghh!).  Much appreciated!

I am looking for the same version....100.7 Bostons Classic Rock may have what you are looking ....I believe it was from 2001 from what the music director told me....go to their website and make a request....I am planning to have them play it monday at 10 am for my dad who is in end stage prostrate cancer and really only has a matter of days left...

Here you go, you can download this 2001 version of "Jack and Diane" at the following link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/u5hsne

Just click the link that says, "click here to start download from Sendspace."

There was a version of J&D that I heard a number of years ago...it's not this heavy drum version...I don't even know where it came from.  It was acoustic.  Highly up-tempo with an accordion.  Very jamming version.  It almost sounded like the song had been re-worked in a "Lonesome Jubilee" sort of sound, if that makes sense.

Anyone know that one?

See if it is this version that starts about the 6 min mark of this player. We just got notified about this special from the show producer.

Thanks Tony

Yep Tony.  That's it.  And I agree.   As great as that song is to me...I LOVE this reworking.

That is from 1992. There are several HQ live versions of that floating around out there, some with audience and at least this one without. Perhaps someone here can provide you an mp3 of it.

I missed the chance on the last upload - don't suppose you could get it up there again?
I've been looking for this forever! :D

Any chance of re-posting a link for this version - i had it on my old mp3 player and well like any technology some stuff just doesn't last - i heard it on the radio up here the other day and i remembered how much i like this take when i saw john at mohegun sun a few years ago - thanks   :)

Hey walk tall, any chance you can repost that link?  I know you've been asked a bunch, but I am new and apparently the link has timed out.  Thanks!
