Mike Campbell the greatest guitar player that no one ever mentions when they are talking about great guitar players. Highly underrated!! Love you Tom , RIP ! You are sorely missed by so many!
I understand that sentiment looking in from the outside but trust me, within the professional musicians community, Mike is one of the most respected artists there is.
@@evanmorrow1234 Highway 441 was the main North/South Highway in the Eastern U.S. prior to the development of the Interstate highway system. It runs through the middle of Gainesville, Fla, where the band was founded.
Runs right through Gainesville down to Orlando concurrently with 27 at times and then I guess down toward Miami. My side of the state has 41 do a similar North/South run from the Tamiami Trail up into Georgia.....
Yes its true…Landed on top of a wide shouldered photographer right in front of me..we were front row..I plucked it right off his shoulder..it was crazy..You can see me in white baseball cap@@Nick-Emery
Probably would of helped had they made a playlist for the concert or just a full play through. these will never get the same views because people are going to pick and choose the songs they want to hear.
Great stuff, Tom was a rock n roller to his core. Sadly I only ever got to see him and the Heartbreakers live once, back in '78, wish I could have seen more, but life got in the way...
Gary Stevens Yk, he was playing to "his home crowd" but anywhere he and The Heartbreakers go perform becomes "his home crowd" if they weren't already. Just straight up honest, a breath of clean air and deceptively "simple" (as I've heard others say) lyrics: He relates the narrative of a whole universe in a single line.
The finale, the love for his fans, the heartfelt waves of appreciation, those special moments of pride and love for his band and crew, that lasting bow with rise to a beautiful smile, one more thank you at the microphone, waves once more and his most meaningful God Bless! Then grins even wider to the very last fan he sees as he makes his way backstage. His style, professionalism, and love for rock 'n' roll left his mark so bright and bold, it can never be surpassed. Tom Petty "is" the definition of rock 'n ' roll and the Heartbreakers add that bit o' soul.❤
Overlooked by who? Have always recognized Tom Petty as being one of Americas great talents of the 80's, 90's 00's and 10's over 40 years of recording and live performances one of the all time greats not just of America but respected world wide.
Saw Tom in 1982, somewhere in Germany and my first European concert. He opened with this song! That set off a huge response from all of the US military there (including me)! One of the best shows I've ever seen.
I really think your right! And adding this to his legacy Tom was a really good human that didn’t let money still is soul. I don’t this he wrote not even one bad song. I’m still sometime hear songs that I’ve never heard him play. To me he. he is the GOAT⭐️
I was devastated when I heard Tom Petty died. It really must be hard being on the road continuously. He had a lot of pain in his hip while touring and taking a cocktail of drugs to deal with it. I’m a serious addict. I take Xanax and ambien together for anxiety. But I shouldn’t. I just know how hard it is to deal with mental pain, let alone physical. It was not all his fault, and my heart goes out to him. I’m just so glad he and his band members were able to go back to Jax and do this 30th annual concert b4 he died. He seemed so peaceful and appreciate to all his fans. He was a truly great guy! Miss you Tom…
@John Molloy WOW you really got lucky. I snuck into the venue in Phoenix during the day of the concert and tried to find him of course I didn't. Never went to a bad Tom Petty concert and never heard of one.
The first time I saw him live in Indy back in 2008. This is the last song that they playing and as we were walking out they kept on playing this as an encore and I knew all the lyrics and I was singing it by heart and stuff in my family friends that went with us to the concert said Nathan how do you know this song if you didn’t really listen to him growing up and I’m like Marsha my parents used to play this all the time their greatest hits and then in 2009 when he came to town he played breakdown and started out the song and he was about to start singing it when all of us on the lawn started singing it for him and we sang the whole verse verse in and he got on the mic and said you were putting me out of the job and then we all shouted back to him. It’s OK Tom, we know what we’re doing and he started singing the rest of the song which was beautiful
@@ddaltonroczombie7655 I had a GMC. A '58 with a flatbed and dualies and a 4 speed/w granny low. I loved that truck. It had a 292 6 cylinder that ran like a top.
Put the band back together... Mission from God.., it's dark... I'm wearing shades... Half a tank of gas... & a pack of smokes... Hit it...!!! (Blues Brothers). Mike u sound like him... Put the band back together & play this music!!!
Every once and awhile PBS plays the whole concert. I have taped/recorded it 5 times in 2 years on my Direct TV recorder. That's the only reason I keep Direct TV....don't want to give up these recordings. Although now I'm playing it back on my lap top with Great Sound system. Saw him at the New Orleans Jazz Fest a few years ago. About a year before he passed. AWESOME!
When this song first was released, I really didn't care for it. As time past, I found out that it is one of my favorite songs. Man listen Mike's leader guitar and Petty's vocal. Awesome!
All I can say is thank ya’ll for that - we love you soooo very much over here in the UK too. RIP Sir Tom - and the rest of you please keep making beautiful hip music x J ❤ I think that was poss THE BEST GIG I’ve EVER seen…….. (and I’ve seen plenty).
No matter how hard Bruce Springsteen tried to write and represent the quintessential soundtrack to young American men and women, he pales in comparison to my old man, Tom Petty! Thunder Road comes close, Rosalita pales! American Girl is about any girl in any part of the United States! (not just Jersey.) Only 2 verses.....what?!? The bridge and the on fire guitar solo, both following that second verse are masterful! Wait! No third verse?! He couldn't come up with one? NO! He leaves me hot, heavy, and bothered!...Right where he wants me! Masterful!
Well I just rate TP and esp this song, that whole 1st albums as good as it gets, but get the best headphones you can find crank the volume and Listen to the boss do New York City Serenade and She's the One.If you really love music these 2 tracks will sway you.
@@annehansen139 You can easily name 50 great Springsteen songs, from acoustic to hard rock, and everything in between. But so what. Why do we need to rank great artists.
It's nice that the group used the Thomas Organ (U.S. VOX) Super Beatle amps/cabinets from the '60's. Tom once said they used them because they were handsome and cheap.
Where did my life go, give my nutsac to have seen this show, Nicks and Petty (Band is also awesome) gave a flawless performance, both gave it all for the fans, so generous and talented. Sorry Mick, you are off the roster, dang!~
when my best friend and I finished Basic Training at Fort Benning, years ago - he picked me up from our barracks in a 1958 Plymouth Fury that was really just a rusty juke box, and the first song he played was American Girl from Tom Petty. It was the first time I had ever heard the song that's how long ago.... Simple as it is, this moment was probably one of the most joyful moments of my whole life. God love you Tom, and you are still with me today.
Tom Petty is the Archangel SariEl which means Jesus is The Prince, or God is prince, and Stevie Nicks is The Witch of endor who conjured up the spirit of King Saul, Lindsey Buckingham....that's my story and I'm sticking to it..lol
Sometime in the 70's I heard TP first time,probably this song or BREAKDOWN...who knows,doesn't MATTER,because I was hooked for life,a LIFER for TP & Heartbreakers...life sentence listener.
Mike Campbell the greatest guitar player that no one ever mentions when they are talking about great guitar players. Highly underrated!! Love you Tom , RIP ! You are sorely missed by so many!

Yes if you have lived in Florida the old 441 reference goes way back and Tom was a Florida boy
I don't know what does it it mean?
@@evanmorrow1234 Highway 441 was the main North/South Highway in the Eastern U.S. prior to the development of the Interstate highway system. It runs through the middle of Gainesville, Fla, where the band was founded.
FLA guy here...know it well
Runs right through Gainesville down to Orlando concurrently with 27 at times and then I guess down toward Miami. My side of the state has 41 do a similar North/South run from the Tamiami Trail up into Georgia.....
We love you and miss you, Tom.
56 hours and 17 minutes and counting...
An absolutely brilliant man and band he will live forever in my heart RIP Tom
died stoned as george floyd. Loser. Least he banged stevie.
On his last strum of the guitar he flicked his pick...I was there front row and got it....Incredible night it was😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Now that’s a cool memory and story to tell. I would have put that in a special frame with the ticket stub and put it on my wall of fame
If that’s true it’s freakin’ cool 😎
Yes its true…Landed on top of a wide shouldered photographer right in front of me..we were front row..I plucked it right off his shoulder..it was crazy..You can see me in white baseball cap@@Nick-Emery
Wow love it I absolutely love Tom
Wow!
This guy was so cool, Stevie Nicks just on stage proves it.
One of the all-time great rock groups. And Petty was a genius
THE best
Hell yeah
untouchable!
Gosh, there is such a hole in the world without you 💔
And in my heart as well.
@@kimcarletto7091 Same....
So sad …… But he did get to be KING JUST FOR A WHILE ❤
Thanks Tom for the great songs, you will always live on in our hearts
Ppp,l0⁰
Why only 45,000 views? This is one of the greatest performances in the history of rock and roll.
Youth is wasted on the wrong people who don't have a clue as to what constitutes great "rock and roll".
My American Girl. I miss TP so bad..It pangs me so bad. Not sure why I’m older. No senses make sense
245,967 views 6/3/20 .... +1 ;)
Probably would of helped had they made a playlist for the concert or just a full play through. these will never get the same views because people are going to pick and choose the songs they want to hear.
Ya this was a fantastic concert.. My go to for TP & HB'ers.........
Great band. They never lost their home town roots. Tom Petty left the world too soon. But he lives on in music
Never forgot where he came from ....
He would like me and my b
Great stuff, Tom was a rock n roller to his core. Sadly I only ever got to see him and the Heartbreakers live once, back in '78, wish I could have seen more, but life got in the way...
Love this song and this great guy. What a wonderful person and artist. Miss him greatly.
Still get chills hearing him do this classic for his hometown audience “Out on 441” ❤
This is live in Gainsville Florida Tom Petty home town. It was tellecasted
Gary Stevens Yk, he was playing to "his home crowd" but anywhere he and The Heartbreakers go perform becomes "his home crowd" if they weren't already. Just straight up honest, a breath of clean air and deceptively "simple" (as I've heard others say) lyrics: He relates the narrative of a whole universe in a single line.
I read when the first time Roger McGuinn heard this song his manager played it for him and Roger joked "When did I write this?"
The finale, the love for his fans, the heartfelt waves of appreciation, those special moments of pride and love for his band and crew, that lasting bow with rise to a beautiful smile, one more thank you at the microphone, waves once more and his most meaningful God Bless! Then grins even wider to the very last fan he sees as he makes his way backstage. His style, professionalism, and love for rock 'n' roll left his mark so bright and bold, it can never be surpassed.

How pedantic. Are you this boring in person, too?
I totally agree, he loved everything especially respected and adored both fans, but most of all his BAND ❤
Beautifully said.
I agree. He was one of the greatest
Stevie Nicks rocks. she still has it all. I am in love.
She always has!
Four years since Tom Petty left the planet. Still miss him. Real rock and roll.
😥💔☹️🙏🏻💖

ty tom petty
....rip
another one lost from my youth... greatness
I've lost way too many. Know how you feel.
Just watched this for the first time, unbelievable WHAT A PERFORMANCE.......WHAT A LOSS
He/they make it look so effortless. Another supreme talent lost to the heavens.
Say what
Not even
Like butter every time!
Yes, you absolutely CAN play a song a thousand times and never lose the intensity you project. And it's still beats any job by a long shot!
To hear my possibly favourite song of all songs with Stevie Nicks blending in is so good that it is surreal.
I will agree petty was overlooked at being a true American icon !,,,,,,,

#RIPTomPetty - The World is a Sadder Place Today #LasVegas (Concert Filmed on September 21, 2006)
Saw Tom in 1982, somewhere in Germany and my first European concert. He opened with this song! That set off a huge response from all of the US military there (including me)! One of the best shows I've ever seen.
I absolutely love Tom Petty!!! Wish I got to see one of his concerts. His music always makes me feel better. RIP Tom.
I've seen most of the great bands.
UNFORTUNATELY though Petty and his Heartbreakers are not among those 😥.
Tom petty is my hero and number one , a real showman, and loved to entertain.
Stevie managed to weedle herself in there!
No one will ever top tom pettys music, not even the other greats of the 70s and 80s. RIP
Right on
I really think your right! And adding this to his legacy Tom was a really good human that didn’t let money still is soul. I don’t this he wrote not even one bad song. I’m still sometime hear songs that I’ve never heard him play. To me he. he is the GOAT⭐️
Tears rolling down my cheeks....what a stunning concert ❤ Free Fallin' is one of the greatest rock songs of all time
I was devastated when I heard Tom Petty died. It really must be hard being on the road continuously. He had a lot of pain in his hip while touring and taking a cocktail of drugs to deal with it. I’m a serious addict. I take Xanax and ambien together for anxiety. But I shouldn’t. I just know how hard it is to deal with mental pain, let alone physical. It was not all his fault, and my heart goes out to him. I’m just so glad he and his band members were able to go back to Jax and do this 30th annual concert b4 he died. He seemed so peaceful and appreciate to all his fans. He was a truly great guy! Miss you Tom…
The coolest man in rock has left us America's finest a true heartbreaker RIP.
They Call Led Zepplin The Hammer Of The God's .If Led is the hammer ...Then Tom Petty is the SLEDGE HAMMER !!!!!
My favorite group of all time. So glad I saw him as many times as I could and saw his 40th Anniversary Concert. So much love for Tom.
@John Molloy WOW you really got lucky. I snuck into the venue in Phoenix during the day of the concert and tried to find him of course I didn't. Never went to a bad Tom Petty concert and never heard of one.
The guy on drums kills it every time!
Steve Ferrone is the man on the drums. He kicks ass.
@@drummeralbertrivera9577 His pedigree is flawless. Started out as the drummer for The Average White Band. Total legend!
The first time I saw him live in Indy back in 2008. This is the last song that they playing and as we were walking out they kept on playing this as an encore and I knew all the lyrics and I was singing it by heart and stuff in my family friends that went with us to the concert said Nathan how do you know this song if you didn’t really listen to him growing up and I’m like Marsha my parents used to play this all the time their greatest hits and then in 2009 when he came to town he played breakdown and started out the song and he was about to start singing it when all of us on the lawn started singing it for him and we sang the whole verse verse in and he got on the mic and said you were putting me out of the job and then we all shouted back to him. It’s OK Tom, we know what we’re doing and he started singing the rest of the song which was beautiful
Does it get any Better Than This ! WOW !!!
A few people caught his reference to 441 at about 1:30 in the video.. Rt. 441 is the Orange Blossom Trail in Florida.
@@ddaltonroczombie7655 I had a GMC. A '58 with a flatbed and dualies and a 4 speed/w granny low. I loved that truck. It had a 292 6 cylinder that ran like a top.
And Mike Campbell is one of my favorite guitarists ever!
Good joke. Dimebag darrel is more like it
Michael Gundersen Tyson cook said it was one of HIS favorites
@@michaelgundersen1809 Yes, Dimebag was a great guitarist. Stop with the comparison.
Put the band back together... Mission from God.., it's dark... I'm wearing shades... Half a tank of gas... & a pack of smokes... Hit it...!!! (Blues Brothers). Mike u sound like him... Put the band back together & play this music!!!
Tom played his audiences like a fine tuned instrument.
I regret not seeing them in concert before he passed. RIP Tom.
God bless Tom Petty & HB's the absolute best band ever. Now Tom's rocking heaven ! 💘
forgive my ignorance, but does anyone know if this concert is on a cd or avail for downloads? I am loving these live versions!
The film is available in the Running down a dream boxset. Don`t know if you can still get the box set or can buy it on it`s own.
Every once and awhile PBS plays the whole concert. I have taped/recorded it 5 times in 2 years on my Direct TV recorder. That's the only reason I keep Direct TV....don't want to give up these recordings. Although now I'm playing it back on my lap top with Great Sound system. Saw him at the New Orleans Jazz Fest a few years ago. About a year before he passed. AWESOME!
If you don't like this song, check your pulse. More than likely you are dead. Or you might as well be, anyway.
Until we all meet again, god bless you Tom 😢
Like waves crashing on the beach . . . love this! Damn -- seriously awesome!
My man 👨 Tom Petty is the best of the best! I Love you ❤️😘💕 Stevie Nicks doing back up,love her too, so awesome 😎!
When this song first was released, I really didn't care for it. As time past, I found out that it is one of my favorite songs. Man listen Mike's leader guitar and Petty's vocal. Awesome!
The original is part of the Silence of the Lambs OST (the scene when Katherine entered the parking lot).
All I can say is thank ya’ll for that - we love you soooo very much over here in the UK too. RIP Sir Tom - and the rest of you please keep making beautiful hip music x J ❤ I think that was poss THE BEST GIG I’ve EVER seen…….. (and I’ve seen plenty).

Where'd they find that cheesy backup singer? (Hah!) (!!!!!!!!!!!!)
It's nice that the group used the Thomas Organ (U.S. VOX) Super Beatle amps/cabinets from the '60's.
Tom once said they used them because they were handsome and cheap.
Look at the women he wrote about with his songs and there is that genuine sweet affection for the fairer sex.

Made me cry...
The band was so great live. I was pretty sad when Tom passed away
