Tom Petty is the only musician/celebrity whose death caused me to cry. I am 61 and grew up in Florida listening to Tom Petty from the beginning. Even now, I tear up thinking about the great talent that we lost. We appreciate it all, Tom!
Tom Petty's death was the first non family member that I ever cried for, and mourned. His lyrics have always touched me in a way that no other musician, regardless of song writing genius (Lennon/McCartney, Dylan, etc.), ever has or ever will. I saw him in concert over 20 times from 1986 up until the last 2 shows where I saw him in 2017. I've seen him in Indiana, Red Rocks, Connecticut, NY, MA, IL, San Diego, Kansas City, and on and on. God bless him and everything he did for music, and for the people who loved him for it.
I saw him in LA once and Joni Mitchell was seated several rows back. I'd gotten front row seats. That was just before Tom got sober so he was a little sloppy. Still a good show. Much better than any other band I saw ever.
Kind of the same..... Bernie Mac, John Ritter, and Tom Petty.....got tears for their passing. Didn't know them in the least outside of watching or listening..... I knew they were special though.
Wow what an honor that must have been for Tom to have fans like you.That’s a lot of years and places. I must say I’m Impressed🙏 I love Tom Petty he carries it in his soul for sure. It translates from there and it affects us in our soul. It is my regret I never saw him live. Nameste🙏 Tom
That dude from Florida, Petty, was a poet Laureate of American music. A Southern man who never forgot his roots and wasn't afraid to display his influences and his love in performing to the legions of people who got what he was doing.
About as faultless live version of any song as you're ever likely to see. The musicianship, the pacing, the vocal delivery...every twist and turn is a wonder to behold. Thank you Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Always.
The song becomes hypnotic at 7:00 my tearing time, one of the greatest false endings in music. I often stop the tube about 10:41 so it never really ends.
@@liamco1128 you are soooo lucky. You got to see musical history. This reminds me of when, in the 90s, my friends asked me to see Stevie Ray Vaughn. I had to work and said "next yr". A month later was the helicopter accident. RIP Stevie! I still regret not seeing him to this day.
It's amazing, and I loved the song already in 1994 when I got the album.. How come he extend this song this much and not any of his greater hits..? I am not complaining here! Greetings from Sweden! 🎸
Say what you want about Elvis, The Beatles, Prince, MJ......Tom was (and still is) just as much of a musical gift to the world as each of them were. They all changed the world. They all affected lives. They were all strangers to no one, because we all knew them through their art. While we will never stop missing Tom, I still thank God for giving him to us as well as the technology to keep his life's work alive forever...
@@kitboysen441 people that know music/rock n roll know EXACTLY who these legendary men are, but true, not enough credit, which is how they like it, Mike NEVER wanted the spotlight, just to be Tom’s brother in rock/life…Benmont is the most sought after session pianist there is, all the greats requested his talent
Perfection, it often brings tears to my eyes. Not only for the loss of Mr. Petty but all my friends and family that I have lost. You’re all so very missed. RIP
Give Mike Campbell his credit for being Tom’s right hand all those years. Pretty clear Petty was orchestrating the chord changes but Mike handled the arpeggios and the high octave stuff. Big ups to Ben Mont on the keys. The whole ensemble was on point for this minor key gem. I really like the shift to the major key for the chorus. Then back to that e minor. I keep coming back because this never gets old. Petty’s lyrics are priceless and timeless.
As a group, these guys were hard to match. No one trying to steal the show. Just pure talent working harmoniously. If you do not dig these guys, then you do not appreciate true rock and roll!
I have watched this video over 50 times and I still get the goosebumps every single time. So much talent, its scary. RIP Tom, you will live on forever in our hearts.
This bit needs to be kept in the time capsule. It would be awesome to know the circumstances of their entire very special day that led to this very very special night.
Goosebumps were all around Curtis Hixon Auditorium 2005...they opened with "Running Down A Dream" i thought the room was going to blow up from the response.
i guess what I always liked about Tom Petty is he always put everything into his music, his whole heart and soul. At about 7 minutes in, when the crowd thought the tune was over and started to applaud, he just started back up again and gave them another 6 minutes of virtuoso soul-baring music. Damn it was good. Maybe one of the best I've ever heard.
I love that Tom's music transcends time and age. These songs will truly go on forever as long as we keep raising the next generation and the one after that to keep on listening...
I miss him really bad. So, I learned the music he created and play it for myself and others who miss him too. The best tribute I could come up with. Thanks Tom.
THIS IS TOM'S MASTERPIECE. EVERYONE KNOWS I'M RIGHT. IT'S PROVEN EVERY TIME YOUR EYES AND EARS SAW AND HEARD THE LIVE PERFORMANCES OF IT. THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL AUTHENTIC. BRILLIANT. ART.
I miss him so much. His shows were like coming home to a family reunion. He included his audience in his shows and his charisma shined through. I love the memories ❤ RIP Tom
My 5 yr. Old son requested to hear this song tonight at bath Time.....the magic of Tom Petty and the hearbreakers is and will forever remain timeless.....we miss you here at our home Tom, but you live in our hearts.
For today, I'll stop and make a comment. Gratitude that our paths crossed before the world discovered Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Before he became a King. When this DJ was Music Director of a radio station in San Jose and 6-10pm DJ. When Tom and Ron Blair came by our studio at KSJO between the soundcheck and the show. Their first in the San Francisco Bay Area at the Keystone Palo Alto. From that night, I was convinced that they had magic and fire. And after the show, we stayed up till dawn at a motel. Yes, the stories we could tell. This performance appears to be from the 30th Ann tour, Gainesville, Florida. Thankful that I can still play it on the radio. Just because. ☮💌
One of the most awesome performances ever by Tom Petty Mike Campbell and the Heartbreakers. Glad this is on video, his band was one of the tightest bands out there, it's what happens when they play 40 years together. They were family, like brothers from their teenage years. The moment I like is Tom and Mike at the end playing together and smiling. I miss Tom Petty so much, probably the most of these musicians who passed in recent years. I just performed a set recently of his songs, and Good To Be King was one of the songs. Had a lead guitarist alongside me who gave the lead guitar parts lots of emotion. I think of Tom's music and I feel the emotion. It's hat makes Tom live still inside each and every one of us. Rest in peace Tom, we will never forget, thanks for your gift of music and songs. ❤
I can honestly tell you that my wife and I were in the FRONT ROW for this very concert in Gainesville and saw this awesome version live and in person. I've watched it dozens of times since and I still get chills when hear this very song on Sirius or re-live the concert on AXS TV. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! Love ya and miss ya Tom!
I watched it again this past Sat for the 5th or 6th time, it gets better every time. I cried through most of it while I ate an entire pint of B & J's Cherry Garcia. It is timeless for sure, one of the best concerts I never attended
Wow as someone who never got to see him live I am soooooo jealous. It will always be a regret of mine. I literally play his music EVERY day. I can’t stop. It makes me so sad knowing he’s not here anymore.😢
This truly is a magnificent live version of this song. This transcends rock and roll; this is true artistry, magic. I always knew all of these guys were good at what they do, but in this song, I really appreciate what true craftsmen they all are!
who are the 16 idiots who voted against this that obviously have no taste in music whatsoever. This is the sickest version of the song ever Tom Petty rules!
Good Lord, has it really been more than 4 years already? Anyone else feel like they've lost about two years of their life? I will always remember the day he died. I had read online he was in the hospital. They announced once that he had died, then corrected it that he was still alive. I had tickets to see Gov't Mule that night at HoB Houston. In between songs a stage hand walked out and handed Warren a piece of paper. He spoke to everyone in the band, and then without saying much, they started playing one of Tom's songs. I was so emotional I don't even remember which song. There was not a dry eye in the house.
What a band, they are even better live than in the studio. Highly underrated guitar player Mike Campbell. Fantastic keyboards. Truly a superband with Tom Petty as icing on top of it all,
Underrated? What? A great artist with performances even to this day..and Dirty Knobs. Who you see back there grinding it out with others and having a great time? Mike’s on low attitude. Check a little deeper ,,he’s not underrated,,never was overrated at all since a druggie who got his Creds being in a stupor on stage or dying at 27 being a fool…
Was für ein unglaublich guter Musiker.die band nicht vergessen. Man spürt die freude und den😂Spaß, bei dem was sie machen. Dieses lied ist eines der besten, die ich gehört haben durfte. Liebe Grüße an all die so tollen Musiker. Ihr macht aus unseren Gedanken worte. 😊😊😊😊😊
Tribute bands are the next best thing, if their good. So far the ones I've seen are on every note, and keep the sound alive. It's always good to get albums and CDs, so we can have them forever. I purchased a DVD through our PBS station or one of his concerts. Always wanted to see him live, but missed the opportunity...Tom's spirit will always live on...🎶💖🎸🎤
So true Bill, it’s great that we can listen to these giants of music, but any new talent is non-existent. Rock music I think has had it’s day. Gene Simmonds from Kiss said as much :-(
Saw him in Atlanta a few months before he passed away. The stage was over flowing with talent. Journey well Tom, thank you for the music and good times.
My goodness! If this isn’t perfection I simply don’t know what it is.. Rest easy Tom and thank you for gems like this…Your work will be admired for generations!! Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ladies and gentlemen…Accept no substitute!
Amazing. Just saw this on AXS in concert. I cried like a child. This song evokes SO MUCH EMOTION! (not so much the regular version, but the guitars, piano...)God-the more it went on, the more I didn't want it to end!! Thank you for the music, Tom!!!
Thank you Tom and the Heartbreakers for inmeasurably enriching my life. Tom's death just about did me in. I thank God for his Life. He truly was a light in the darkness. RiIP Tom, we miss you!
Just gotta focus on the positive ❤️ I’m blessed to share a show at the Berkeley with my now wife Stephanie! Rip brother Tom 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I didn’t stop dancing with her all night long and I’m pretty damn sure I shed a tear of happiness when this jam played!This song touches the soul! ❤️
Mike's guitar tone speaks to my soul, he fits Tom's vocals, lyrics perfectly. Tom's guitar playing and Mike's are a twin flame. I saw them live 3 times from 1980 to 1994, always incredible.
I watched this performance on axis TV at least 20 times! It is the most mesmerizing version of this song! R.I.P. Thomas Earl Petty! Thank God! 🙏 I grew up with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers!❤❤❤
I cried so much when he died. He is my favorite, I saw him at his 40th anniversary tour in Denver before he passed away. So glad I did. I would see him every chance I got. Rip king 👑
I'm a pretty big Petty fan, and was devastated when he died. I always loved this song, have heard it countless times but never this long version. I thought, man that first 6 minutes was perfect, existential, then the second 6 minutes just absolutely blew me totally away. I gotta go lay down for a while. TP, we all miss you but your music will live for freakin ever!
Very “intoxicating “ if you understand what’s behind this genius and the craft. Fir me its unimaginable to be able to create such original and an authentic sound that takes you on a ride that brings you down so beautifully...the song and performance is a “ real love masterpiece!😘😎😘🧚🏻♂️🎸🎸✌️
It is absolute bliss when taken into Pettys complete rise from the beginning ... this performance is just an absolute culmination of years of greatness by a band ... minus Stan of course. I just luv it, when I think of Mike n Tom going thru years this is just the ultimate when they sync up. JMO.
Took my son to this tour as his first concert. He was seven with some speech challenges and loved Tom Betty. The challenges are gone, but not his love for Tom Petty. RIPTP.
atleast once a month i find myself drawn back to this masterpiece....it reminds me that good musicians did once exist...rest in peace Tom Petty...well done Hearybreakers....
God, I miss him... this is a freaking clinic on how you tell a story and capture the hearts and minds and souls of your audience.... There will never be another one like you, Tom, never...
Only one word : class !!! only that !! class ... a beautiful music with soul and heart .... Eric from France RIP Mr Tom Petty you and your band are the best in my heart !!! thanks for the joy every day !!!
Je frissonne de bonheur en écoutant cette musique, merci Mr Petty de nous avoir laissé cette musique, ça change de toutes les merdes actuelles que nous entendons partout.
I'm going to go on and guess the haters don't care for great literature either. I loved this song long before I heard the live version, could not believe how much more beautiful and profound he managed to make it. Stunning, stunning, stunning.
@@myrtiebaxter1689 Thanks ... love it on its own merits but it also reminds me of a poem called My Last Duchess ... www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43768/my-last-duchess
Tom you are the King!!! Your in our Hearts always! Hard to believe we lost you 3 years ago today. Your music and all that you gave us Lives on forever. Miss you Tom Petty❤️🙏🏻🎸🎼
Me too Denise, so wonderful. I’m mesmerised. I only started to listen to him a couple of days ago. I had no idea he was a rock musician. I’ve missed out all these years!
Why the hell would anyone give this a thumbs down! Are they jealous? These guys were nothing less than awesome! Tom Petty was a very kind considerate person, who ONLY wanted to please his audience.

Just doesn’t get any better than this. The whole band was mind blowing. Tom Petty was an absolute national treasure.
Tom Petty is the only musician/celebrity whose death caused me to cry. I am 61 and grew up in Florida listening to Tom Petty from the beginning. Even now, I tear up thinking about the great talent that we lost. We appreciate it all, Tom!
Me too!!! And...after he passed I could not listen to his music for the longest time until just recently. Now I constantly play everything I can find.
My mom passed away same night as Tom. Always felt good about that, love them both.
feel the same about Richard Wright.
Same here, I’m with you man
Heart Breaking...Many Many ThankYou's TOM.
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers is the only salvation from this messed up world of today.
King Crimson also🤩
The one group that my wife, me & our two kids all loved. Those concerts were really special.
Tom Petty's death was the first non family member that I ever cried for, and mourned. His lyrics have always touched me in a way that no other musician, regardless of song writing genius (Lennon/McCartney, Dylan, etc.), ever has or ever will.

God bless him and everything he did for music, and for the people who loved him for it.
I was the same dude. I had so many friends texting me that day and giving me their condolences. Im still not really over it
There is something so deep when he plays, it truly touches your soul..........he left us way too soon! We were fortunate to have him.❤
I saw him in LA once and Joni Mitchell was seated several rows back. I'd gotten front row seats. That was just before Tom got sober so he was a little sloppy. Still a good show. Much better than any other band I saw ever.

If I could live in the past, I would. I don’t understand this world we live in today.
You got that right brother what is this world coming to
This is my moral compass for classic rock for there will never be another elvis and another lennon and there will never be another tom petty
That dude from Florida, Petty, was a poet Laureate of American music. A Southern man who never forgot his roots and wasn't afraid to display his influences and his love in performing to the legions of people who got what he was doing.
Gainesville Florida. Something about that town and music....
I like the words you use to describe Tom.

I'm 5 years too late to respond, but thanks Irene. I'm with you.
TOM was king ! A master of "people life stories " ! R.I.P. my master I hope to meet you in heaven !
This is one reason why this Canadian Boy likes you Yanks.. Rock and Roll and the Rainbow Bridge. See you all there one day.
About as faultless live version of any song as you're ever likely to see. The musicianship, the pacing, the vocal delivery...every twist and turn is a wonder to behold. Thank you Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Always.
I’ve seen The Heartbreakers alone and once with Tom Petty. Absolutely the best live performances.

This version is pure magic. RIP to one of the great American Treasures.
The song becomes hypnotic at 7:00 my tearing time, one of the greatest false endings in music. I often stop the tube about 10:41 so it never really ends.
This is maybe the greatest live song ever played
You speak truth!
There is no maybe ❤
Hell yes!
Tom and Mike smiling at each other near the end. They just knew. They nailed it.
That little smile between the two of them speaks volumes. It says it all.
This is my favorite performance of any Tom Petty song anywhere, anytime. It moves me to my core.
When he was older, he was a master of music and nothing sounds rushed.
I wholeheartedly agree. I was so fortunate to see this song played in Seattle on his last tour. Tragicly 2 months later he died. 😢
@@liamco1128 you are soooo lucky. You got to see musical history. This reminds me of when, in the 90s, my friends asked me to see Stevie Ray Vaughn. I had to work and said "next yr".
A month later was the helicopter accident. RIP Stevie!
I still regret not seeing him to this day.
I watch it once a month
It's amazing, and I loved the song already in 1994 when I got the album.. How come he extend this song this much and not any of his greater hits..? I am not complaining here! Greetings from Sweden! 🎸
Say what you want about Elvis, The Beatles, Prince, MJ......Tom was (and still is) just as much of a musical gift to the world as each of them were. They all changed the world. They all affected lives. They were all strangers to no one, because we all knew them through their art. While we will never stop missing Tom, I still thank God for giving him to us as well as the technology to keep his life's work alive forever...
No cap at all.....
I concur and Elvis was his inspiration to become a rock star when Tom met him at 11 years old

Mike doesn’t get enough credit of being such an outstanding guitarist that he truly is ✌️❤️
...As Benmont doesn't get enough praise for his Piano, either.🥂🍾

@@kitboysen441 people that know music/rock n roll know EXACTLY who these legendary men are, but true, not enough credit, which is how they like it, Mike NEVER wanted the spotlight, just to be Tom’s brother in rock/life…Benmont is the most sought after session pianist there is, all the greats requested his talent
Legends all
Your comment is spot on! Tom gives thumbs up I bet.
Perfection, it often brings tears to my eyes. Not only for the loss of Mr. Petty but all my friends and family that I have lost. You’re all so very missed. RIP
There are some live recordings that capture pure magic and pure energy and feeling. This is one that I never get tired of .
Give Mike Campbell his credit for being Tom’s right hand all those years. Pretty clear Petty was orchestrating the chord changes but Mike handled the arpeggios and the high octave stuff. Big ups to Ben Mont on the keys. The whole ensemble was on point for this minor key gem. I really like the shift to the major key for the chorus. Then back to that e minor. I keep coming back because this never gets old. Petty’s lyrics are priceless and timeless.
Damn right!!! Sometimes a poser 😂 yet a great string wizzard 👏👏👏
Yes, that soooo truth…..
Epic duo
Amen to that bro 🎸 👍, superb guitar player, one of the best, 🎸😂
Who's Perry?
As a group, these guys were hard to match. No one trying to steal the show. Just pure talent working harmoniously. If you do not dig these guys, then you do not appreciate true rock and roll!
I have watched this video over 50 times and I still get the goosebumps every single time. So much talent, its scary. RIP Tom, you will live on forever in our hearts.
By heck 🎸, saw hendrix Clapton, ac dc, ❤️ 🎸 💕, can't stop playing this, mind you I'm 73 years young, wow 👍 rip Tom, ❤️ 💔
This bit needs to be kept in the time capsule. It would be awesome to know the circumstances of their entire very special day that led to this very very special night.
I lost the count I’m sure they’re manny
COULDN'T AGREE MORE! WHAT A SONG, WHAT A PERFORMANCE..!!

Agree 100%
Great song but I like when jam a bit too
Well....he's Tom Petty....
And he performed, played, and felt music, like none other, ever....RIP TOM PETTY, WE MISS U❤
Come back, Tom. The world darkened when you moved on. We need you now.
He was a King!
The very best of TP!
This is one of the best things I've ever seen. Tom Petty and Mike Campbell... so completely in sync, they're like two halves of the same person.
Well said, mate!

Brothers from another mother.....
and funny when Mike was going to enroll at University of Florida and Tom said "why do you want to do that? I`m going to start a band"
I love that Tom's music transcends time and age. These songs will truly go on forever as long as we keep raising the next generation and the one after that to keep on listening...
RIP Mr Tom Petty, thanks for being part of the soundtrack of my life.
Absolutely stunning live version of one of Tom's best song's. Loved it!
508 ppl have no concept of emotion. Love when he jams with the drummer. Awesome !!!!!!! rip Tom
Tom Petty was one artist that I had hoped that I would meet some day before I die. Lost out on that.
#MeToo
I miss him really bad. So, I learned the music he created and play it for myself and others who miss him too. The best tribute I could come up with. Thanks Tom.
Thank him for all he did and didn’t give us. He was so real and now he’s gone.
Top notch Tom Petty & Co.
THIS IS TOM'S MASTERPIECE. EVERYONE KNOWS I'M RIGHT. IT'S PROVEN EVERY TIME YOUR EYES AND EARS SAW AND HEARD THE LIVE PERFORMANCES OF IT. THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL AUTHENTIC. BRILLIANT. ART.
The entire album Wildflowers is a masterpiece
🎨
Agreed
Mystic eyes is a close second and I'm crying third
Southern Accent is Tom’s masterpiece. He captures his life and the rest of us here in Florida’s worldview better than any song I’ve ever heard.
I miss him so much. His shows were like coming home to a family reunion. He included his audience in his shows and his charisma shined through. I love the memories ❤ RIP Tom
Juu
A perfectly beautiful sentiment.
My 5 yr. Old son requested to hear this song tonight at bath Time.....the magic of Tom Petty and the hearbreakers is and will forever remain timeless.....we miss you here at our home Tom, but you live in our hearts.
Glad you're raising your son to have great taste in music!
This is awesome! I was singing Tom Petty throughout the store in my underoos during the 80's.
My guess would be that your son was here in a former life....
Well done. I like this kid already. Raising him up with great actual music..
I just love the fact that his songs spoke to me plus were qood to sing along with!

on Sirius or re-live the concert on AXS TV. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! Love ya and miss ya Tom!
you just made everyone who's watched this very very jealous. To have seen this 1st hand live must have been spine chilling. thanks for the memory.
You were King on that night
I watched it again this past Sat for the 5th or 6th time, it gets better every time. I cried through most of it while I ate an entire pint of B & J's Cherry Garcia. It is timeless for sure, one of the best concerts I never attended

This is truly one of my favorite moments in music ever recorded.
indeed! what a fantastic "tight" band. They are in sync with one another...Goosebumps whenever I hear and even watch this video.
The first time I heard this was at a live show and right away I knew it was special.
too right. i get chills on this one
it's the best version of a song I really love
who are the 16 idiots who voted against this that obviously have no taste in music whatsoever. This is the sickest version of the song ever Tom Petty rules!
I totally agree. If you are a living breathing human and love music at all, how can you not love this!
Fuck the Haters!
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded!
Magic.... Tom Petty and his crew are absolute magicians.
How can a song with only three chords be so moving and powerful? Bless you, Tom Petty. You are missed.
Sometimes 3 chords are all you need to say everything there is to say
He WAS Tom Petty !
It's still so hard to believe he's gone. Perhaps because his music is timeless, so is he. RIP Tom, we're Heartbroken.
It is.. I was in shock when he died.. So sad.. He's a true legend.
xo
I agree! So many of our artists are passing on it hurts if I focus on it. ✌️
Tom will always be with us
Good Lord, has it really been more than 4 years already? Anyone else feel like they've lost about two years of their life? I will always remember the day he died. I had read online he was in the hospital. They announced once that he had died, then corrected it that he was still alive. I had tickets to see Gov't Mule that night at HoB Houston. In between songs a stage hand walked out and handed Warren a piece of paper. He spoke to everyone in the band, and then without saying much, they started playing one of Tom's songs.

THANK you Mr. Petty I know cant hear it for all you did for music..and thank you Mr. Campbell who can hear..
THANK you
Superbe morceau j'adore....!!!
Was für ein unglaublich guter Musiker.die band nicht vergessen. Man spürt die freude und den😂Spaß, bei dem was sie machen. Dieses lied ist eines der besten, die ich gehört haben durfte. Liebe Grüße an all die so tollen Musiker. Ihr macht aus unseren Gedanken worte. 😊😊😊😊😊
Unglaublich schön. Lang lebe tom petty
These guys always played like it was their last concert. Gave it all they had. Love them all forever.
EVERY SINGLE TIME
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808goosebumps. EVERY SINGLE TIME I HEAR THIS
It’s tragic this type of musicianship and artistry is dying. We need more of this in our lives.
Thankfully we have the internet so his music will always be here......hopefully! ✌️
Tribute bands are the next best thing, if their good. So far the ones I've seen are on every note, and keep the sound alive. It's always good to get albums and CDs, so we can have them forever. I purchased a DVD through our PBS station or one of his concerts. Always wanted to see him live, but missed the opportunity...Tom's spirit will always live on...🎶💖🎸🎤
So true Bill, it’s great that we can listen to these giants of music, but any new talent is non-existent. Rock music I think has had it’s day. Gene Simmonds from Kiss said as much :-(
You nailed it my friend!
I totally agree. It was a great loss when he passed. He is truly missed. Best concert ever seen.
Saw him in Atlanta a few months before he passed away. The stage was over flowing with talent. Journey well Tom, thank you for the music and good times.
My goodness! If this isn’t perfection I simply don’t know what it is.. Rest easy Tom and thank you for gems like this…Your work will be admired for generations!! Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ladies and gentlemen…Accept no substitute!
There should be so many more likes than 20k.
Amazing. Just saw this on AXS in concert. I cried like a child. This song evokes SO MUCH EMOTION! (not so much the regular version, but the guitars, piano...)God-the more it went on, the more I didn't want it to end!! Thank you for the music, Tom!!!
Nik Gasway makes me weep now...
@@jatan1222 , you're not alone ...
Tom Petty was the coolest rock and roll star ever.
Sandra's TP f'n A!! right on,!!!
I would agree but Eddie van Halen exist
Tom Petty was number 1. Rest in peace💎
The Heartbreakers. Värdens bästa kompband🎁
Amen
Still so hard to think Tom isn't around. Damn. RIP Tom. You gave us so much great music.
what a fantastic track
It just doesn't get any better than that.
Thank you Tom and the Heartbreakers for inmeasurably enriching my life. Tom's death just about did me in. I thank God for his Life. He truly was a light in the darkness. RiIP Tom, we miss you!
I felt the same way. It helped to find Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs, feels like home.
My heart still breaks a little bit more every time I hear his music!! 😍🌹🌈🌠
Broke down in the public library....
That solo at the end was absolute FIRE
Unbelievably so. I could listen to this over and over again. Spectacular!!! It IS beautiful
I think I just shed a tear ...
It takes me to so many different places and brings so many different emotions. Simply the best. Tom Petty is king 👑
I need to know… what concert this is from
So much emotion in that amazing Solo!
Just gotta focus on the positive ❤️ I’m blessed to share a show at the Berkeley with my now wife Stephanie! Rip brother Tom 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I didn’t stop dancing with her all night long and I’m pretty damn sure I shed a tear of happiness when this jam played!This song touches the soul! ❤️
Gone but never forgotten, RIP 😭 Tom 💕 😇
Tom petty is the coolest rock and roll star ⭐️ to me.
Ana the heartbreakers ❤️🙏😎🎩🤟🥁🎹🎹🎹🎸🎸🎸
Uno dei pezzi più bellidi sempre in una versione Sublime !!
Mike's guitar tone speaks to my soul, he fits Tom's vocals, lyrics perfectly. Tom's guitar playing and Mike's are a twin flame. I saw them live 3 times from 1980 to 1994, always incredible.
Tom crushed those solos…his tone was awesome
I own several 335’s because of Mike Campbell
I watched this performance on axis TV at least 20 times! It is the most mesmerizing version of this song! R.I.P. Thomas Earl Petty! Thank God! 🙏 I grew up with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers!❤❤❤
As long as we keep listening, Tom Petty will never die!
Long Live the King! ✌🏻
Schon tausend mal gehört, immer wieder faszinierend!!! Schade, was hätte Tom Petty noch für gute Musik machen können!!!
Kerrassaan hieno tulkinta ! Lepää rauhassa Tom Petty
I cried so much when he died. He is my favorite, I saw him at his 40th anniversary tour in Denver before he passed away. So glad I did. I would see him every chance I got. Rip king 👑
Rip Tom Petty you were loved and still are
On repeat. Soothes the soul. Thank you again mr Petty and your fine fine band
Stupenda. Perfetta un' vero Artista
Yes he is !!! Like Elvis he is like Elvis. To others. To me he is so special and my Elvis. As a super fan of the heartbreakers 💘ever !
I mean to me. He is so 😍 don’t know the words. He is the most rock and roll 🎸 song writer. Ever and ever
I'm a pretty big Petty fan, and was devastated when he died. I always loved this song, have heard it countless times but never this long version.
I thought, man that first 6 minutes was perfect, existential, then the second 6 minutes just absolutely blew me totally away. I gotta go lay down for a while. TP, we all miss you but your music will live for freakin ever!
I'm an old fart, 68 years old, and this is a great song, cause I am the KIng of my World.
Are we that old? Ha! Perhaps physically, but not mentally........
I concur!
I'm a kid (17 years old) and I dig this too!! Tom Petty is one of my heroes!
Very “intoxicating “ if you understand what’s behind this genius and the craft. Fir me its unimaginable to be able to create such original and an authentic sound that takes you on a ride that brings you down so beautifully...the song and performance is a “ real love masterpiece!😘😎😘🧚🏻♂️🎸🎸✌️
It is absolute bliss when taken into Pettys complete rise from the beginning ... this performance is just an absolute culmination of years of greatness by a band ... minus Stan of course.
I just luv it, when I think of Mike n Tom going thru years this is just the ultimate when they sync up.
JMO.
Me I'm 73 years young, saw hendrix, this guy this group, he is up there, 😍 ❤️ wow 👍 still blows my mind 😕 💋🙏
This is what a Hammond 3b, a good dlide guitar
Amazing!
Takes me away... ❤
Awesome... he's a musician with a real spirit in his music! That's not junkfood, it's real music. No charts, no contest-crap - real music! Dig this!
P09
Took my son to this tour as his first concert. He was seven with some speech challenges and loved Tom Betty. The challenges are gone, but not his love for Tom Petty. RIPTP.
Steve Ferrone is such an incredible drummer.
Steve Ferrone is one of two Steve's that made me understand playing for the song, and how valuable the space between notes truly is.
Hes toured with the best. Check him out backing Genesis live on Carpet Crawlers. Clapton too with his all star band.
He's fantastic.
atleast once a month i find myself drawn back to this masterpiece....it reminds me that good musicians did once exist...rest in peace Tom Petty...well done Hearybreakers....
God, I miss him... this is a freaking clinic on how you tell a story and capture the hearts and minds and souls of your audience....
There will never be another one like you, Tom, never...
Tell it....
I agree
some of his songs that used to make me happy, now make me sad knowing he's gone
Nice Song, merci. My Favorite.
This is the best version of "It's Good to be King" [Live] Just off the hook instrumentally sound.
Same
Only one word : class !!! only that !! class ... a beautiful music with soul and heart .... Eric from France
RIP Mr Tom Petty you and your band are the best in my heart !!! thanks for the joy every day !!!
Best concert ive ever seen by TPHB. WOW this is so touching, the way they connect with each other is sublime.
This is his opus, the band was spot on !! Contemplative and pure!! I didn’t want it to end 🙏 RIP Tom ❤
Benmont is so perfect. I love this version.
Such a dreamy song with great lyrics and still a kick-ass yet mellow guitar solo. It's freaking amazing and never gets old.
Does Tom really ever get old? What a voice and writer.
What about face in the crowd . Bout as mellow as it gets
@@jackd1582 yeah but I said "mellow AND kickass. LOL Face in the Crowd is cool, too. :)
@@sharonwalsh7840 True . At that point I had only listened to about of this live one recording
One of the greatest parts of musicianship, in full display. A man who loves his audience and they love him back.
Effortless because he practiced. ❤
Je frissonne de bonheur en écoutant cette musique, merci Mr Petty de nous avoir laissé cette musique, ça change de toutes les merdes actuelles que nous entendons partout.
I can't believe only 3.3 million views should be a billion
I'm going to go on and guess the haters don't care for great literature either. I loved this song long before I heard the live version, could not believe how much more beautiful and profound he managed to make it. Stunning, stunning, stunning.
You've got this right on the head it was amazing
@@myrtiebaxter1689 Thanks ... love it on its own merits but it also reminds me of a poem called My Last Duchess ... www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43768/my-last-duchess
I just ignore the haters and whiners in this world today. Don’t have time for either. ✌️
Tom you are the King!!! Your in our Hearts always! Hard to believe we lost you 3 years ago today. Your music and all that you gave us Lives on forever. Miss you Tom Petty❤️🙏🏻🎸🎼
Love this version so much. Tom's guitar riffs are incredible. I could listen to this all day!
I love this version to
It makes you want to go down to the house in the woods doesn't it?

Me too Denise, so wonderful. I’m mesmerised. I only started to listen to him a couple of days ago. I had no idea he was a rock musician. I’ve missed out all these years!
@@apmills3406 You will find a great mountain of Tom ‘s genius music, a great man too.
Soooo sad, Tom should still be here 😢 loved his music 😊
Why the hell would anyone give this a thumbs down! Are they jealous? These guys were nothing less than awesome! Tom Petty was a very kind considerate person, who ONLY wanted to please his audience.
