Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - The Damage You’ve Done

Okay…this is weird. I was clearing out space on my iPad and forgot I’d even filmed this song at the start of October. Now’s as good of a time as any to release it, I suppose…
Been a while, all. It’s been a rough last two months. I’ve got some kind of arthritis going on in my hands that have made it impossible to play guitar. I’ll be back, but right now, I’m taking a much needed break. Consider this a one off video.
This is a song I quite enjoyed of Tom’s 1987 album, Let Me Up (I’ve Had Enough). It was a nice fun little country and blues influenced rocker. He played it a lot between 1989-1992, and brought it back in 2012 and 2013 for only one performance. It’d have been a perfect way to represent Let Me Up in the live shows, but what do I know?
Trying to remember my signal chain. Guitar was 2020 Fender 70th Anniversary Broadcaster, amp was 2021 Fender ‘68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb, effects were Keeley Compressor Plus, Catalinbread Topanga Spring Reverb and POSSIBLY MXR Carbon Copy.
Also figured it was a good idea to release a Petty song because for a late birthday present, I was gifted two tickets to see ‪@mikecampbellofficial‬ & The Dirty Knobs in late April. ‪@NJSmithMusic‬ will be traveling with me, and I know I’m looking forward to seeing the Knobs again!
I don’t know when I’ll be back doing covers again regularly, but everyone please be patient with me. I’ve got a bunch of great ideas as well as future collaborations with my fellow Krop Tops, ‪@sampopkin‬ , ‪@davidmontis7259‬ and ‪@mendips09‬ , it’s just a matter of being able to play without my fingers jamming up, grinding and being in severe pain. Peace and love to all, and I’ll be back on my feet, hopefully before too long.
