Post by: sugarmarie_1980 on July 31, 2011, 11:26:17 pm
...according to a few tweets.

Keith has been doing several interviews recently mentioning JM as a big influence, especially after seeing his Lonesome Jubilee tour in 1988 in Australia. Very cool he still gives JM a nod.

Here are the tweets...would love to know what he covered.

Cindy can you try to DM any of these twitter users and inquire what songs they did? Guess we should all be watching YouTube for videos too, surely some will show up. Taylor Swift did a bit of Jack and Diane in Indy over the weekend.

Good idea, Tony! I just found Jack and Diane on YouTube...awesome! It sounded from the tweets there may have been more than one song covered. I'll try to DM the tweeters too.

Okay, received a reply from one of the tweeters. She claims Keith & Jake did two -- she knew Jack & Diane but not the name of the other song covered.

Looks like the second song was Hurts So Good. I found it on YouTube described as such but the video was removed.

It was played in Nashville as well. I believe it was the show after Ft. Wayne, but don't quote me on that.

Here is a GREAT blog with Jake Owen talking about performing "Jack and Diane" with Keith and how it all evolved. The Nashville performance is embedded in the blog.

Keith Urban and Jake Owen Improvise on ‘Jack and Diane’ at Nashville Concert
By: Billy Dukes

At select dates on Keith Urban‘s Get Closer tour, opening act Jake Owen has joined Urban on stage for the encore. In the video below, the pair are seen singing John Mellencamp‘s ‘Jack and Diane.’ During a recent chat, Owen tells Taste of Country that he didn’t know he’d be asked to help out on the hit song until he was already following Urban on stage.

“You can tell if you’ve seen the YouTube videos, they’re pretty loose,” Owen says of the impromptu performances. “I was just standing at the side of the stage a couple of nights and he saw me standing there when he went up to do his encore, and he just asked me to come up and do it with him. So that was pretty cool.”

There hadn’t been much collaborating between the two, aside from Urban learning Owen’s ‘Don’t Think I Can’t Love You’ for a performance at LP Field during Nashville’s CMA Music Festival in June. Owen says that Urban has been a very accessible tourmate, however.

“Keith is just a good guy,” he says. “He’s one of the people that I’ve really learned on the road that he’s not in it just for the fame or the fortune. The guy truly loves the music and he truly loves playing for people. If he could play for three hours a night he probably would sit out there and do it.”

Tonight, the Get Closer tour with Owen and Urban stops in Augusta, Ga.

keith tells a great story about being in the audience that night in 1985 at the brisbane show and how much "that band" ripped his head off... larry crane. toby myers, kenny araonoff and mike wanchic and john singing "his" songs.  john is a huge talent, and deserves his due... and owns it all... but everyone here seems to be so caught up in mellenstroking they have lost sight of the rest of the story...
