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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
@@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! 🎸
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.
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
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 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.
@@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
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...
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.
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! ❤️
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. ☮💌
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 👑
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.
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!
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 !!!
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!
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'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!
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.
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!!!
This is pretty much as good as it gets in rock and roll music. Such a tight band and Tom's voice has so much charisma . Miss this man a lot . At least he left us with great memories.
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❤️🙏🏻🎸🎼
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. 😊😊😊😊😊
A MASTERPIECE OF AWESOMENESS...!!! It truly shows the talent of Tom’s compositions and how this band created works that were under appreciated and overlooked ,but NOW are considered iconic and timeless...!!! R.I.P. Tom... so happy to have seen you work...!!!🙏👏👍
Yes I agree he was the coolest musician for rock and roll I saw him four times and that just wasn't enough how could I watch them every week we miss you Tom
God, I miss Tom Petty. What a great performance! Great to see him take a lead and really stretch out on it. I never saw him live, which is my own fault. I'm glad there's content like this out there.
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!
Der beste live Musiker aller Zeiten mitsamt seiner Band. Manchmal frier ich bei diesem lied. Unglaublich gut und so schön gespielt.Schade, hab ihn leider nie live gesehen. Lang lebe tom petty.
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 was fortunate enough to see Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers twice. The first time was in 1999 at Hershey Park Stadium and then again in 2006 in Portsmouth, VA. Great times.
Tom petty was and is the man!! Grew.up with his music. Miss even up to today. Play a few songs before I go to bed every night. RIP TOM miss you man 🙏🙏🙏🎸🎸🎹🥁🎧🎛🎼🎼🎼🎵😊
I think this version is great! It was always my most favorite song of his...and now my heart is so SAD that he is gone! I get goose bumps when I listen to this beautiful melody....RIP Tom
So thankful for my father (may he rest in peace) for opening my ears at such an early age to great music like Tom Petty, Steppenwolf, The Doors, Iron Butterfly, and many many more. This song especially brings back a flood of memories for me of my dad. Tom Petty is an exceptional artist, too bad he doesnt seem to get the respect in the music industry he so very much deserves.
Oh my! I remember I asked for this record as a xmas present when I was 16. It has been, since then, my place of recovery. Tom Petty surely was a Great Soul.
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.
Jeez. Just jeez! One the the things that made Tom’s work so amazing is that the Heartbreakers were always such an antonishing band. Thank heavens they kept it together, even with some personnel changes, all those years. Tom, Mike, Benmont. ❤️
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.😢
OMG! Listening to Tom Petty while cleaning in the garage. This song was always great, but this absolutely incredible. Never heard it before in a live concert like this. I am blown away. Thank you for sharing this!!
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.
This version is pure magic. RIP to one of the great American Treasures.
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.

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 lost the count I’m sure they’re manny

Gainesville Florida. Something about that town and music....
I like the words you use to describe Tom.
@@shachardave
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.

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?

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. ❤
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! 🎸
Come back, Tom. The world darkened when you moved on. We need you now.
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.
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
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!
diggit
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.
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.

100%
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❤
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.🥂🍾

Legends all
Your comment is spot on! Tom gives thumbs up I bet.
These guys always played like it was their last concert. Gave it all they had. Love them all forever.
EVERY SINGLE TIME
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.

No cap at all.....
I concur and Elvis was his inspiration to become a rock star when Tom met him at 11 years old
Tom and Mike smiling at each other near the end. They just knew. They nailed it.
Schon tausend mal gehört, immer wieder faszinierend!!! Schade, was hätte Tom Petty noch für gute Musik machen können!!!
Still so hard to think Tom isn't around. Damn. RIP Tom. You gave us so much great music.
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

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!
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. ☮💌
Those two emotes at the end spoke volumes.
Magic and fire... ☮
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
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 👑
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded!
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.
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!
Thank him for all he did and didn’t give us. He was so real and now he’s gone.
508 ppl have no concept of emotion. Love when he jams with the drummer. Awesome !!!!!!! rip Tom
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 !!!
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!
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
Magic.... Tom Petty and his crew are absolute magicians.
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'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.

On repeat. Soothes the soul. Thank you again mr Petty and your fine fine band
As long as we keep listening, Tom Petty will never die!
Long Live the King! ✌🏻
One of those videos where RUclips should have a LOVE button 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
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!
This belongs in a rock historic archive titled "how it's done".

This is pretty much as good as it gets in rock and roll music. Such a tight band and Tom's voice has so much charisma . Miss this man a lot . At least he left us with great memories.
Best concert ive ever seen by TPHB. WOW this is so touching, the way they connect with each other is sublime.
Amazing, one of the best arrangements and solo parts I have ever heard, what a gift! RIP Tom, we missed you so much.

It truly shows the talent of Tom’s compositions and how this band created works that were under appreciated and overlooked ,but NOW are considered iconic and timeless...!!! R.I.P. Tom... so happy to have seen you work...!!!🙏👏👍
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
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
Now thats a superstar .
Benmont is so perfect. I love this version.
Yes I agree he was the coolest musician for rock and roll I saw him four times and that just wasn't enough how could I watch them every week we miss you Tom
I’ve watched this a million times and I’m amazed each time. What musicianship. They’re so flipping good it’s ridiculous. I miss them.
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
Definitely one of the top 5 live performances of a song I have ever seen.
God, I miss Tom Petty. What a great performance! Great to see him take a lead and really stretch out on it. I never saw him live, which is my own fault. I'm glad there's content like this out there.
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....
It draws such an emotional response from me....I really feel the message...i feel that energy...it's such a haunting kind of a Song...incredible
It doesn't get any better than this, Mike Campbell and Tom, just wow!
Thank you Tom Petty,for making life so much better and your soothing,impressive songs and performances.Forever ...Lya Willemse.x
This is maybe the greatest live song ever played
You speak truth!
Wow this is so special the coolest guy ever just amazing performance i saw him at Knebworth around 1978 i new then he would go far but this is amazing
Me too. I went to see him not the headliners Genesis, who were btw also great.
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!
Der beste live Musiker aller Zeiten mitsamt seiner Band. Manchmal frier ich bei diesem lied. Unglaublich gut und so schön gespielt.Schade, hab ihn leider nie live gesehen. Lang lebe tom petty.
Beautiful mix!!! This song is just God's Music!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
So many great songs from Mr. Tom Petty. This could be the best quality live performance, musically, ever. Tom Petty lives at my house
Has to be the greatest performance ever. Mike Campbell is one of the top 5 lead gutair men all time. Tom Petty is just phenomenal.
Guitar *people*
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. ❤
Tom Petty was a king. ❤
wow wow wow i love this song and this performance is just too amazing....forever tom petty and the heartbreakers!!!!!!
R.I.P. you are truly one of the greatest men to walk this fine earth
❤You are so missed Tom .❤Thank you for the beautiful music , a legend .❤
I was fortunate enough to see Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers twice. The first time was in 1999 at Hershey Park Stadium and then again in 2006 in Portsmouth, VA. Great times.
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.
Tom's voice: quality. Gifted - above the rest. IN a class of his own. Singular, once could and did say.
Tom petty was and is the man!! Grew.up with his music. Miss even up to today. Play a few songs before I go to bed every night. RIP TOM miss you man 🙏🙏🙏🎸🎸🎹🥁🎧🎛🎼🎼🎼🎵😊
I love this song. You are so missed Tom Petty. You live on through your legacy. Rock on, Southern boy.
I think this version is great! It was always my most favorite song of his...and now my heart is so SAD that he is gone! I get goose bumps when I listen to this beautiful melody....RIP Tom
So thankful for my father (may he rest in peace) for opening my ears at such an early age to great music like Tom Petty, Steppenwolf, The Doors, Iron Butterfly, and many many more. This song especially brings back a flood of memories for me of my dad. Tom Petty is an exceptional artist, too bad he doesnt seem to get the respect in the music industry he so very much deserves.
Oh my! I remember I asked for this record as a xmas present when I was 16. It has been, since then, my place of recovery. Tom Petty surely was a Great Soul.
One badass band right here,R.I.P. Tom Petty.
Great song from his best album...Wildflowers.....man I got goosebumps watching this mind boggling version.
I've seen this video too many times to count. Haven't watched it in a few weeks. Got all-body goosebumps again. Happens every time.
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
Jeez. Just jeez! One the the things that made Tom’s work so amazing is that the Heartbreakers were always such an antonishing band. Thank heavens they kept it together, even with some personnel changes, all those years. Tom, Mike, Benmont. ❤️
I listen to Tom on his Sirius radio channel. He has mentioned that this song means so very much to him.
It's one of my favorite songs of his. It's not one the greatest hits album, but man it should be.
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!
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
Dude ❤️🔥 I’m speechless 💘 this is why this APP exists ☯️
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.😢
OMG! Listening to Tom Petty while cleaning in the garage. This song was always great, but this absolutely incredible. Never heard it before in a live concert like this. I am blown away. Thank you for sharing this!!
I love Mr. Petty . Wow Gone but not forgotten Tom. ,I was the face in the crowd RIP Babe
