Draftervoi's original notes:
Instead of trotting out the usual “hits plus new songs” set list, Mellencamp takes a tour through his record collection and opens up with four cover songs. His taste is more eclectic than you’d expect. He starts things off with “Heartbreak Hotel.” Yes, the Elvis Presley song... but he’s doing a note-for-note clone of John Cale’s ominous arrangement from the Slow Dazzle album.
Next up is a pretty standard cover of The Animals’ “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” (but he beats Elvis Costello’s cover of the same song by a good two years), followed by a quick run through the Left Banke’s 1966 baroque-pop hit, “Pretty Ballerina.” He finishes up with Lee Dorsey’s “Ya Ya.”
Then he gets down to what you’d expect: songs from John Cougar, Nothing Matters and What If It Did, and American Fool. But he’s not done with showing off his good taste yet: at the end, he pulls out a cover of Richard Thompson’s “Shoot Out The Lights,” and calls him “one of the best songwriters writin’ songs today...” John Mellencamp was taking valuable air time on a nationally syndicated radio show to promote Richard Thompson. Pretty cool...
So this is something a bit different; you get five cover songs, none of which were ever officially released. I also did a painstaking manual removal of each click and pop, so this is about as perfect as this show will ever get. I included scans of the disc label, affidavit, cue sheet, and front cover.
