Performances of Pre-Indiana Songs

I found a couple of good videos of Jon performing pre-Indiana songs on Youtube:

Questions


Love


Places I Already Know


Conversations (aww, he forgot some of the lines.. still good!)


One of Four (he changed it to I'll Carry On -- I wonder if he might re-record this with the band in the future with that title?)


If anyone finds any others, let me know! Enjoy :o)

Jon McL Covers

Here are a few videos of Jon covering a bunch of songs from his previous tours. I managed to gather the best ones and here they are for you to see:

Rocket Man (Elton John)


Forever Young (Rod Stewart)


Message in a Bottle (The Police)


Walking In Memphis (Marc Cohn)


Piano Man (Billy Joel)


Mary Jane's Last Dance (Tom Petty)


Not a cover but it fits in this category (almost!):
U.S. National Anthem

'People' Live

Here's a live version of People I found online. Apparently it's from a special edition of Indiana, but since there's no actual release of that version (that I know of). Looks like someone ripped the song from a video and included the track.

Update: Up Until Now album

http://ultimatejonmclaughlin.blogspot.com/2008/10/surprise-for-ultimatejonmclaughlin.html

The Up Until Now album post has been updated with scans of the CD artwork.

I also updated the post with a new d/l link that includes scans of all the artwork from the album and the tracks at the rate of 224kbps in the same .rar file. Alternatively, you can download the scans only if you don't mind having the other version you downloaded as is.

Enjoy :o)
