I don't know how Campbell muscled through these songs. I would have been a blubbering mess. IMHO, TP and Mike Campbell will go down as one of the all-time greatest songwriting collaborators, and TP & The Heartbreakers were, without a doubt, one of the greatest bands that every existed. Only recently have I been able to play my TP music again without crying.
I'm a long time fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, since I got their first two albums in 1979, I saw them live at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1981 when the Damn the Torpedoes album was released. IMO Tom Petty and Mike Campbell wrote some of the greatest songs ever, Petty's lyrics really reached out to me. I often wondered why they were not as universally popular, or well known as they should have been, but then it struck me that there was something unique about their music and that was, that even though I love so many of their, songs, often when I would buy their new album, I would find myself the first time I listened to it wondering why I bought it, before discovering it was simply brilliant as I listened more. Perhaps that's just me, but it made me wonder if many had missed what was going on, by hearing something once and then thinking "I don't like Tom Petty". For me the time it takes to get into some of the material, is also why I never tire of it, it's not some "catchy ditty" that you immediately like because of its simple melody and then get sick of it.
It's certainly not just your opinion. I think many of us share that opinion. Very under appreciated talent by most but certainly not by true fans like yourself.
Mike Cambell s vocals are so similar to Tom Petty s´that he could go on playing the songs. Every note he sang, sounds like Tom Petty. I still remember clearly the day i "discovered" their first record and bought it. After hearing it, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers s music became a permanent feature on my then radio show.
I had tears in my eyes listening to Mike who is still clearly trying to process the loss of Tom. Beautiful tribute! Tom would be chuckling quietly and smiling surely.
A real treat to watch. One of the few times I've actually heard Mike sing. I'm amazed by how similar he and Tom sound. If he is open to continue playing Heartbreakers songs going forward, it would totally work.
I’m in tears! I don’t know how Mike got through this song!,, the first few chords I was a mess! ...they were such amazing songwriters! We were so lucky to have felt this beautiful music! Thank you! 🙏🏻🎶🎼✨🌟💫♥️💔♥️
So beautiful ,tear jerking...I can’t imagine how he got through this,but he is one hell of a guitar player,and the pain he is feeling shows in this performance...
I know I didn't think he was going to make it through the first song. I'm still grieving can't even imagine how he feels but man he is a master of his craft!
I became a fan for life when I first saw them play SNL. Refugee was the song and was my favorite song. Just like that we are already here. Thanks for the lifetime of music
Shed a tear or two when I watched this, & saw how hard Mike wants to celebrate Toms songs & life, but its so raw for me...so heaven knows how Mike and other Heartbreakers feel. Thanks for sharing it x
You know whats crazy? Mike Never sang ,They tried but couldn't get him out of shyness, Classic Mike, Couldn't wait to hear you Glad your working out of Grieve Period, SMASHING
I don't think he ever sang on stage, but he did sing a couple songs on albums, Victim of Circumstance on Mudcrutch 2 and Hole in my Head on Echo are the two that I know of. That said, I was certain it was just Tom playing up his accent a little the first like dozen times I heard both.
Heart-wrenching and beautiful. Can hardly see how he got through it, but Mr. Campbell's made of some stern stuff. God bless you Mike, and rest peacefully Tom. Thanks so much for sharing this MM.
It’s gotta be tough for Mike, Benmont, Ron, especially Dana, Steve, Stanley, Stevie and everyone who ever played with him because a significant amount of all the greatest songs (not just rock n roll songs) ever made are by Tom and everyone and they will probably always hear, many times a day even, either their songs or songs from those influenced by Tom and The Heartbreakers music, but that percentage of incredible, timeless songs in the ether is remarkable, period. Tom and the Heartbreakers are the very best kind of immortal. It’s simply stunning, the number of hits alone, but they never released a bad song, imho. Every one of them fits in my life somewhere. I couldn’t just imagine my life without Tom and the boys, and frankly I wouldn’t even try and am grateful more than I can express that I never have to. I also know millions of people feel exactly the same. What a blessing Tom Petty was to humans. Both him and the band. I know myself better because of them. That’s incredible to me how much of an influence the Heartbreakers have had on just myself as a person. They inspired me and I wanted to be what Tom was, passionate, brave, brilliant & empathetic. Basically, just frigging cool, man. Those things are what cool really is, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are cool.
Wow Mike, that first song I think we all could see and feel your grieving the random loss of your best friend, and our beloved singer/songwriter for so many years. Thanks for getting through this very emotionally difficult song you did for us. We really appreciate it. Hang in there Mike!
I've had the pleasure of taking in about a dozen shows by Tom and the Heartbreakers. Even lucky enough to have a short conversation with Tom. He's an American icon. One of the greatest rock and roll songwriters and performers that always had that punch, that presence of the heart of the music he loved. Tom Petty was and will always be Rock and Roll!
God Bless You Mike. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I attended over 250 TPHB shows in clouding the last on on 9/25/17. I lived down the street from Tom and Dana and to this day I’m still broken by his passing. God Bless You Brother. Todd
Hey Mike Campbell ***** You Never Lost Tom ******You’ve Only Gained More!!!!!He Will Always Be With You in Spirit & in Truth!,,,,*******Peace Of Mind To You Always ****💥☮️💥💥🎶🎹🎼💥
Very touching to my heart. I’m overjoyed. My heart is filled with love for this band. I love you forever Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Your awesome Mike. Xoxo
My favourite Mojo track.. played it myself many times but to see Mike doing this is legendary.. heartbreaking but such a beautiful thing to do. Big respect. ! Tom will always be our hero
My heart is breaking watching this. We can see the pain and love you had for your music partner. Tom was special, none of us out here in the internet world really know the connection. But we can have empathy and many of us are so grateful for the music you all gave to us. Please heal, be happy, you all did good :) Write, play, joy.
It great to see Mike Campbell sing, such an underrated guitarist. good to see Mike playing with our own Neil Finn in Fleetwood Mac. thanks for the last 40 years Mike. RIP TP.
Shocked that he broke the "rules" about never playing a Heartbreakers song, but glad he did. He did a great job playing both of them and singing them - which I cannot imagine he has ever done before in front of an audience. Nice to hear he is touring with Fleetwood Mac - sure he will do a good job and it may be a little therapeutic for him.
He said "while the Heartbreakers were ACTIVE. Which, of course now they are not, so in that respect, I don't believe he "broke" that rule they had. I think Tom would understand and stand up and say BRAVE my friend. That being said, I too am a huge fan of Mike and like Tom is one of most humble people given the talent he has. Thank you Mike.
I wish I could be happy for MC being in Fleetwood Mac, but I can't. It's not because I don't think he deserves that break. He does. It is just that it came at someone else's expense - and, I'm afraid to say, it was the 'better man' in the band that got ousted. This was in no way MC's fault, though. Get well Bucky!
YOU TORE THAT ONE UP MIKE,I MEAN SMOKED IT,SAW YA'LL SO MANY TIMES, CANNOT EXACTLY REMEMBER, BUT IT IS IN DOUBLE DIGITS WHAT A TRUE BLUE ROCKER YOU ARE,AND YA KNOW TOM IS SO PROUD TEARS AGAIN MUST GO FOR NOW, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, YA'LL BOY'S ROCK !Walter B,Memphis 🎩
Love it ... sad but love it. Can’t fill Toms monster shoes with anyone . But cool to see Eddie vedder try his best on a tour with heartbreakers . TOM tribute tour please.
course it is, DTT is an epic masterpiece by an ambitious band teaming up with the big league (Jimmy Iovine), while the utterly fantastic Mojo is a relaxed and savant rhythm&blues statement by mostly the same dudes that came out winning on the other side
Oh Mike. I can't imagine how hard that was for you to do. It was perfect!! Just remember the line in one of his songs, " You and I will meet again, Don't know where, Don't know when!" Forever Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fan!
What the hell do I know, but I can only surmise that Tom would want Mike to continue what they began together all those years ago. Beautiful and important songs must go on. Mike, you're a hell of a player and writer and artist and human. God bless you and your beautiful partnership with T.P.
Very heartfelt and honest lovely man is Mike Campbell. You have a beautiful voice, Mike, which we never heard when you were touring with TP&THB. Hugs to you and your's. XOX
Tom Petty was 1 year 1 day older than me. I had my heart attack and coma at 63 made it through thanks to the doctors and nurses at St Georges hospital in London. they prescribed 11 tablets a day I reduced it to 3 including statins. woke up 4 months ago and decided to quit and haven't taken a tab since and still here ....and listening to Tom petty and the Heartbreakers again and learning all their songs on utube. Thanks heartbreakers my favourite band of all time. I know a lot of people love all these other bands but as an English person American music, especially Americas Special greatest band the Heartbreakers... is America ...for me atleast
"and SOMEDAY you'll get to play them FOR him" you go Mike... and you did a fantastic job. Love you and your music and your "noise" y'all made all those years. And someday I'll get to see you and your band. I never got to experience Tom and the Heartbreakers in person. So, I've promised myself I WILL NOT mess up again, I WILL go see you and your band so don't ever stop making your music.
Thank you very much ,🤗🌷💞☘️💚🍀. I love this song, something good, the version of all of the Heartbreakers and Tom Petty, I think they're in their warehouse singing this song. I am so very very sorry for your loss 💔 Tom Petty was One in a Trillion
You're quite right Davis Seals. Mike and Tom were friends and partners for so long he has to be there in spirit for Mike. When ever Mike plays any music Tom (the bossman) will be there.
Excellent TRIBUTE MIKE,SHOWS JUST HOW MUCH YOU LOVED TOM,NEVER SAY NEVER,ABSOLUTELY AWESOME GOT TEARS IN MY EYES AND SMILIN AT THE SAME TIME, DAMN,SO GREAT MIKE,YOU KNOW TOM LOVE THIS AND YOU HE IS WATCHING FOR SURE,GENIUS PLAYING AND SONGWRITER,THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH JUST FANTASTIC 🤩😎🎩🎩Walter B,Memphis.
I remember watching this thru tears the first time I saw it. Still happens now damnit. RIP Tom Petty. Love you Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs. Will be seeing you in April 2022 in Chicago - it's gonna happen this time.
AMAZING. The bending and note drop at 12:01 is amazing. The most underrated guitarist ever. Think about it. Tom was filing for bankruptcy while making Damn The Torpedoes and all of the sudden, MIKE drops REFUGEE and Here Comes My Girl into Toms lap! BOOM!!!
Wow you can really tell how choked up Mike is singing this. of course it made me cry . again.Its amazing he did this song. much love to Mike and of course I always feel the empty space. in my heart. for Toms passing. miss you Tom there will never be another treasure like you.
Something Good coming is one of my fave Tom Petty songs (that whole album actually). A wonderful tribute to the man by Mike. Don’t stop please. I realize the loss is fresh, but the best way to say that you love him, is to play his music to the fans that love Tom as much as you do. Sorry, Mike will probably never even see this...thank you for posting :-)
Its still hard for me to listen to Tom's music since his passing, and the hardest part is this stuff was the soundtrack of my life. Good to see Mike do this and I cant even imagine what it feels like to him, but it came through on this video.
Love Tom...and the Heartbreakers, always. First saw them when they went on tour for 'Damn the Torpedoes' here in Buffalo, NY. Still w/ out a doubt one of the best concerts I have ever seen almost 40 years later.
What a beautiful, heartfelt tribute to Tom... especially Something Good Coming. It is so rare to see our heroes on stage showing such emotion and yet somehow holding it together... I really don't know how they do it. Thank you Mike and Thank you Tom for all that you have given to us for so many years! Rock on, brothers, in this world and the next!
It looks like someone else misses Tom too. Seeing the band play the last Saturday night at Hollywood Bowl was awesome and thought wouldn't it be great to see them again. Like Mike, I miss him too.
Class Act???? Mike Campbell is so much more than a class act. Man I'm in tears so bad right now. I loved Tom ever since the first time I heard him and later on when I became a guitar player and learned every note Mike ever played I gained such a deep heart felt respect for the man...God what are we gonna do without Tom??? Love you Mike
Kind of nice to finally get to hear from Mike. It bugged me a little how after Tom died there was all this coverage of what other musicians had to say (no disrespect to them; it all seemed genuine), but it didn't seem like anyone cared to ask the guys who'd known him for 50 years. Hopefully it was just out of respect for what they were going through.
Mike is a humble man - his songwriting as well as his guitar playing was right at the center of the Heartbreakers - Tom knew it and loved him for it - Tom also knew there could only be one front man, so did Mike - a magical collaboration of talents when you add Stan, Benmont, Howie, Ron and 'the new guy' (who happens to be one of the finest session drummers in the rock era) - we got lucky

Amen to that~

@@vickiblevins5433 ditto
Most underrated guitarist in rock
Not by me :)
He’s on the Rolling Stone list of the hundred greatest guitarists ever, as ranked by his peers
Alex lifeson too
Him and Lindsey Buckingham.
Sean✋ you are definitely right 💞, greatest guitarist in the whole wide world.
I heard some Tom Petty in his vocals....beautiful tribute... The tears are flowing
Mike is a beautiful person, and Toms great friend.......leif
Absolutely...! 100% !!!! Ya get chills ...Tom is surely singing with him.
Like a river...
I STARTED CRYING WHEN HE SAID "HEARTBREAKERS" - mAGIC mIKE, MAGICIAN AND FM DJ SINCE
Great tribute to Tom! I would have been crying! Must have been hard trying to get through these songs!
Mike Campbell is simply
A fantastic and beautiful human being.
im my opinion the most under rated guitarist.
Just like Tom was...missing
Mike, Tom would be proud of you, what a great tribute, fantastic...........
Poor guy. I can’t imagine what he must’ve gone through since he lost his friend. Heartbreaking 💔
God bless you Mike.
R.I.P. Tom and Howie ❤️
Some sweet guitar playing! Tom and Mike really complimented each other
They were the Batman and Robin of music.
If you didn’t tear up over this you weren’t a fan.
And 5 thumbs down.... Absolutely Fucking Disgusting!!! What is wrong with people!?
hippydippy yes, what’s wrong with you? Apparently you didn’t understand.
I think you took my comment totally wrong. I was putting down the people who disagreed with your statement. I was in tears myself.
hippydippy I’m sorry. So what is five thumbs down absolutely disgusting and what’s wrong with people?
There are 5 people who gave it a thumbs down! Not me!!! lol
glad to see a tribute to tom. nobody else could do it better.
Mike Cambell s vocals are so similar to Tom Petty s´that he could go on playing the songs. Every note he sang, sounds like Tom Petty.

So beautiful ,tear jerking...I can’t imagine how he got through this,but he is one hell of a guitar player,and the pain he is feeling shows in this performance...
Yes it does show. Yes, heartbreaking. Thank you Mike.
I know I didn't think he was going to make it through the first song. I'm still grieving can't even imagine how he feels but man he is a master of his craft!
It sure does.
...I play guitar...and know those tunes well ....no way I could've gotten thru that ....way too many memories..
I believe you've brought tears to all of our eyes, including Tom's.
Beautiful tribute to his friend and brother of so many years and songs.
I became a fan for life when I first saw them play SNL. Refugee was the song and was my favorite song. Just like that we are already here.
Thanks for the lifetime of music
Making me think about my mom. I’m 68 and I miss her so much.
Lord, was there's a dry eye in the place. Bless Mike.
this breaks my heart, love you mike. love you tom.
wow, mike campbell singing....sounds great!! great guitar player. RIP Tom Petty. You are and will be missed!!
Shed a tear or two when I watched this, & saw how hard Mike wants to celebrate Toms songs & life, but its so raw for me...so heaven knows how Mike and other Heartbreakers feel. Thanks for sharing it x
You can feel the pain in the music....
You know whats crazy? Mike Never sang ,They tried but couldn't get him out of shyness, Classic Mike, Couldn't wait to hear you Glad your working out of Grieve Period, SMASHING
That's nuts, he does an incredible job of getting the spirit and some of the nuance of Tom's vocals on those songs too. Man...
I don't think he ever sang on stage, but he did sing a couple songs on albums, Victim of Circumstance on Mudcrutch 2 and Hole in my Head on Echo are the two that I know of. That said, I was certain it was just Tom playing up his accent a little the first like dozen times I heard both.
you´re forget:he sang lead on "i don´t wanna fight" with tom petty and the heartbreakers
Alfred Dorner he also wrote it.
It kinda brings a tear to your eyes. I'm glad he can play these songs again. They still need to be heard.
Guitar hero and a really great human being. Thanks, Mike. You did Tom proud
Heart-wrenching and beautiful. Can hardly see how he got through it, but Mr. Campbell's made of some stern stuff. God bless you Mike, and rest peacefully Tom. Thanks so much for sharing this MM.
It’s gotta be tough for Mike, Benmont, Ron, especially Dana, Steve, Stanley, Stevie and everyone who ever played with him because a significant amount of all the greatest songs (not just rock n roll songs) ever made are by Tom and everyone and they will probably always hear, many times a day even, either their songs or songs from those influenced by Tom and The Heartbreakers music, but that percentage of incredible, timeless songs in the ether is remarkable, period.

Wow Mike, that first song I think we all could see and feel your grieving the random loss of your best friend, and our beloved singer/songwriter for so many years. Thanks for getting through this very emotionally difficult song you did for us. We really appreciate it. Hang in there Mike!
So awesome to hear this!! Mike, we all miss Tom. He's so right...He will NEVER be replaced and NEVER be FORGOTTEN💘🎶🎸💞🎩💔
WOW absolutely incredible
Wow just started my day watching this and now off to work crying like a baby
Tom was there with you that night. Thank you, Mike. Your gift was to share this.
I've had the pleasure of taking in about a dozen shows by Tom and the Heartbreakers. Even lucky enough to have a short conversation with Tom. He's an American icon. One of the greatest rock and roll songwriters and performers that always had that punch, that presence of the heart of the music he loved. Tom Petty was and will always be Rock and Roll!
Wow I wasn't ready for this video...
God Bless You Mike. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I attended over 250 TPHB shows in clouding the last on on 9/25/17. I lived down the street from Tom and Dana and to this day I’m still broken by his passing. God Bless You Brother. Todd

Tearful, heartbreaking, and beautiful.

Awesome tribute. I know Tom is proud!
My favourite Mojo track.. played it myself many times but to see Mike doing this is legendary.. heartbreaking but such a beautiful thing to do. Big respect. !
Tom will always be our hero
I'm going to Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs on Sunday. It'll be a great time.

But we can have empathy and many of us are so grateful for the music you all gave to us. Please heal, be happy, you all did good :) Write, play, joy.
Just one word...AMAZING!
It great to see Mike Campbell sing, such an underrated guitarist. good to see Mike playing with our own Neil Finn in Fleetwood Mac. thanks for the last 40 years Mike. RIP TP.
Beautiful!
That must have been tough. Love Mike Campbell - a class act.
Shocked that he broke the "rules" about never playing a Heartbreakers song, but glad he did. He did a great job playing both of them and singing them - which I cannot imagine he has ever done before in front of an audience. Nice to hear he is touring with Fleetwood Mac - sure he will do a good job and it may be a little therapeutic for him.
I agree with The Mac thing. Music helps heal the soul & he obviously needs that. God Speed Mike.
Sam S Amen to that brother.
He said "while the Heartbreakers were ACTIVE. Which, of course now they are not, so in that respect, I don't believe he "broke" that rule they had. I think Tom would understand and stand up and say BRAVE my friend.
That being said, I too am a huge fan of Mike and like Tom is one of most humble people given the talent he has. Thank you Mike.
I wish I could be happy for MC being in Fleetwood Mac, but I can't. It's not because I don't think he deserves that break. He does. It is just that it came at someone else's expense - and, I'm afraid to say, it was the 'better man' in the band that got ousted. This was in no way MC's fault, though. Get well Bucky!
Thank you Mike - your music is therapeutic for you and for the fans. Love to hear your voice and your guitar. God bless you and your supportive band.
Top guitarist,top man,Tom will be looking down on you,giving you strength.
Thank you mike we love you an are grieving also you are one of the best RIP TOM
YOU TORE THAT ONE UP MIKE,I MEAN SMOKED IT,SAW YA'LL SO MANY TIMES, CANNOT EXACTLY REMEMBER, BUT IT IS IN DOUBLE DIGITS WHAT A TRUE BLUE ROCKER YOU ARE,AND YA KNOW TOM IS SO PROUD TEARS AGAIN MUST GO FOR NOW, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH, YA'LL BOY'S ROCK !Walter B,Memphis 🎩
Love it ... sad but love it. Can’t fill Toms monster shoes with anyone . But cool to see Eddie vedder try his best on a tour with heartbreakers . TOM tribute tour please.
tears 😭
Heartbreaking
Rip peace legend
Mike you are a legend and great Freind
MOJO is incredible album. Listen to it
+jack kitchen I think the point was MOJO is not as popular as Damn the Torpedoes, yet still good listening.
course it is, DTT is an epic masterpiece by an ambitious band teaming up with the big league (Jimmy Iovine), while the utterly fantastic Mojo is a relaxed and savant rhythm&blues statement by mostly the same dudes that came out winning on the other side
Oh Mike. I can't imagine how hard that was for you to do. It was perfect!! Just remember the line in one of his songs, " You and I will meet again, Don't know where, Don't know when!" Forever Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fan!
What the hell do I know, but I can only surmise that Tom would want Mike to continue what they began together all those years ago. Beautiful and important songs must go on. Mike, you're a hell of a player and writer and artist and human. God bless you and your beautiful partnership with T.P.

Tom Petty was 1 year 1 day older than me.

Mike, you Tom and the rest of the guys will always be my sound track. God Bless you guys. Turn it up.
LOVE YOU GUYS GREAT TRIBUTE To TOM Beautiful♥️🌹🎵🎸🥰💕🎶🤗🙏
There's a reason Tom Petty had this guy playing guitar for him, he's just great. Always one of my favorite silent players nobody ever really heard of.
I don't hear Tom in his voice like some people but I love Mike Campbell for how he enriched my life with his music along side friend Tom Petty
Thank you Michael for posting this Special Tribute. Very difficult to know Tom won't be present but his music goes on forever.
Lori Rothenbush I think he might have been there, and I think he was glad to see we a moving on. RIP Tom
You're quite right Davis Seals. Mike and Tom were friends and partners for so long he has to be there in spirit for Mike. When ever Mike plays any music Tom (the bossman) will be there.
Excellent TRIBUTE MIKE,SHOWS JUST HOW MUCH YOU LOVED TOM,NEVER SAY NEVER,ABSOLUTELY AWESOME GOT TEARS IN MY EYES AND SMILIN AT THE SAME TIME, DAMN,SO GREAT MIKE,YOU KNOW TOM LOVE THIS AND YOU HE IS WATCHING FOR SURE,GENIUS PLAYING AND SONGWRITER,THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH JUST FANTASTIC 🤩😎🎩🎩Walter B,Memphis.
So glad to see this. Thanks, Mike Campbell.
I remember watching this thru tears the first time I saw it. Still happens now damnit. RIP Tom Petty. Love you Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs. Will be seeing you in April 2022 in Chicago - it's gonna happen this time.
He is struggling so. Only 6 months later..too raw. Now it’s 4/2023 and I’m still choking up. Thank you all. RIP TP
I just watched Mike do what I thought only Tom could do for the twentieth time (hard to take) and his singing is World Class.
I can't even watch it. I'm crying before he even started playing
You know Tom is looking down from heaven and smiling when you guys play! God bless and happy Easter to everyone
Mike, I appreciate you and your great Guitar playing. Never quit. I am here listening
I can’t keep a dry eye watching this. Heartbreaking
Brought me to tears. I'm going Free falling tomorrow for my Birthday.
AMAZING. The bending and note drop at 12:01 is amazing. The most underrated guitarist ever. Think about it. Tom was filing for bankruptcy while making Damn The Torpedoes and all of the sudden, MIKE drops REFUGEE and Here Comes My Girl into Toms lap! BOOM!!!
VERY, very touching. We share your grief in some small way, Mike. Comfort and Peace.
Wow you can really tell how choked up Mike is singing this. of course it made me cry . again.Its amazing he did this song. much love to Mike and of course I always feel the empty space. in my heart. for Toms passing. miss you Tom there will never be another treasure like you.
Beautiful tribute to Tom Awesome ♥️🌹🎸🎵 LOVE it sounds great
Mike has the exact voice of Tom!, sounds just like him.
That's because loads of those vocals had Mike mixed in !
God Bless you Mike, you always had Tom’s back!
Watch this numerous times, and I still cry so good
Something Good coming is one of my fave Tom Petty songs (that whole album actually). A wonderful tribute to the man by Mike. Don’t stop please. I realize the loss is fresh, but the best way to say that you love him, is to play his music to the fans that love Tom as much as you do. Sorry, Mike will probably never even see this...thank you for posting :-)
Its still hard for me to listen to Tom's music since his passing, and the hardest part is this stuff was the soundtrack of my life. Good to see Mike do this and I cant even imagine what it feels like to him, but it came through on this video.
Love Tom...and the Heartbreakers, always. First saw them when they went on tour for 'Damn the Torpedoes' here in Buffalo, NY. Still w/ out a doubt one of the best concerts I have ever seen almost 40 years later.
What a beautiful, heartfelt tribute to Tom... especially Something Good Coming. It is so rare to see our heroes on stage showing such emotion and yet somehow holding it together... I really don't know how they do it. Thank you Mike and Thank you Tom for all that you have given to us for so many years! Rock on, brothers, in this world and the next!
Keep those great songs alive. Your voice works great for it. You're the only man around with the honest right to do it
It looks like someone else misses Tom too. Seeing the band play the last Saturday night at Hollywood Bowl was awesome and thought wouldn't it be great to see them again. Like Mike, I miss him too.
Class Act???? Mike Campbell is so much more than a class act. Man I'm in tears so bad right now. I loved Tom ever since the first time I heard him and later on when I became a guitar player and learned every note Mike ever played I gained such a deep heart felt respect for the man...God what are we gonna do without Tom??? Love you Mike
Kind of nice to finally get to hear from Mike. It bugged me a little how after Tom died there was all this coverage of what other musicians had to say (no disrespect to them; it all seemed genuine), but it didn't seem like anyone cared to ask the guys who'd known him for 50 years. Hopefully it was just out of respect for what they were going through.
Love you Mike Campbell you never get enough credit Tom will be missed and always remember
Mike is a humble man - his songwriting as well as his guitar playing was right at the center of the Heartbreakers - Tom knew it and loved him for it - Tom also knew there could only be one front man, so did Mike - a magical collaboration of talents when you add Stan, Benmont, Howie, Ron and 'the new guy' (who happens to be one of the finest session drummers in the rock era) - we got lucky
Oh this must’ve been soooo hard. Well done MC, love your voice, great band! Best wishes & Blessing from the UK ❤X Jenn (sound guy needs a little help)
Play it loud play it proud
Tom can hear it up there
Jam on Mike
in tears one more time
My God. Oh, Mike. You're the best. Thank you for sharing this tribute. Thank you for the music, and thank you for helping all of us.
