I could have listened to Tom tell stories for hours upon hours. What a man he was. Thank you for everything ❤️ RIH
❤❤He's up there in the Sirius Constellation with my Dad and their dogs. Words just run out. I get highly suspiscious spellling highly suspect when the fans are .... girls. This is an extraordinary man who faced the music industry and won, faced his demons and won, he wasn't finished when he died he found his beloved Beatrice shout out to Dana if I feel angry at myself and think i'm not trying , well I don't mind saying I have a role model up there with my Dad.
Man....we really lost something big when we lost Tom Petty.
Yeah. Really, it just makes me so sad. I wish I could have talked to him....and helped him out of that drug overdose. RIP Tom.
“Ain’t nothing like a real rock band, people” ❤️
You can see how ill and hurting he was. He was a beautiful man. Well he still is. He's just open heaven and they're having a great jam session. Can you imagine when we all pass and we get up there and find out there are always seats available so you won't miss miss a note ... rest in peace
when a statement starts out " me and George Harrison" .... wow
Almost a year since he died and I never thought about the fact that this most important recognition for him came at that time. A man for all seasons. He lives on.
A true old soul, and genuine person...RIP Tom
"you are a good man to ride the river with" Tom Petty! My gosh, we are heartbroken losing you.
Yes. He truly was one of the best. If only we could have coached him out of that unintentional drug overdose. It is a shame. RIP TOM.
@@jeffj2495 well we know who gave him the street fentanyl.......
@@helenamariechristina I read that he was in great pain, did not have his meds with him, and “someone,” a friend, went out and got him something. How can that be? How does that happen to Tom F’in’ Petty? I don’t want to believe it. I also have read that he died at home, peacefully, in his sleep, free of pain, something his family said. We always want to know why and how somebody died, but I am just grateful that he lived. I am blessed and thrilled by Tom’s music, the sound of his voice, singing and speaking.
@@helenamariechristina so, that is common knowledge, factual?
@@jeffj2495 I read his biography Warren Zane. He was one of the world's great transcenders. The things he dealt with ...such an inspiration. Conflicting ideas of how he died: for his fans, the most popular. He was a man of great integrity speaking a bit about my Dad who faced danger in his life and did not back down who loved this man's music. How were you going to coach him out of his life long feeling of responsibilty which in this last part of his life was .. actually this is pointless. I know you love his music
I did the math and it scared me ..39 years scares me but thats how long Ive had Tom Petty vinyl , 8 tracks , cassettes, Cds and digital ..Tom was with me for 39 years and will always be with me .
baler johnson Me, too, man. I bought the first Heartbreakers album in 1978. Between Freshman and Sophomore year. I REALLY remember buying Hard Promises and knowing, at the time that he had fought to keep the price point at $8.98. That was an important album in my musical education.
I have many guitars in my house because of many people ..Tom at the top of the list. You remember the late '70s and disco so you know that Tom kept hope alive during those times . Your freshman and sophomore years were the same as mine . Been a couple of bad years ..we lost a lot of people and I cant see much coming up . Keep the faith brother .
baler johnson Right back atcha sir!
baler johnson I am with you. The exact amount of years also!! Tom Petty's been in my life, most of my life. I will treasure his music, as I miss him. Take good care of you.
We were so fortunate to have had him treat us!
Love the glasses story, he definitely earned his rights.
Such a class act one of the best surely loved and missed
Damn, what a genuine speech. Some great stories and a lot of humility, mixed with some well-earned pride. Good man to ride the river with for sure!
Great icon! Rip....
He has one of the most beautiful souls. You are loved. Peace...xx
A class act, a true artist, a major talent - Tom, we love and miss you so much. Endless thank-yous for years of beautiful, timeless music.
I will now never get the chance to meet him. I've always said your going to meet him someday.
Robert Marchese Such a lovely comment. Thank you..
We miss you SO much Tom❤️
This interview makes me cry everytime. Loved that man and everything he stood for and all those fortunate to have been called family. Such a heartbreaking loss.
He does look like he’s in pain here. God love him. I’m so glad he never saw the end coming. He did the last tour but would not have stopped everything. Love this man forever.
At the time of this speech it would be just nine more short months until he was gone. He had emphysema by then and it was difficult for him to breathe so he was stooped over much of the time to make it easier for him to breathe. Added to suffering from emphysema he also had a fractured hip and knee problems that were causing him pain. He kept his optimism and he kept his grace in spite of his health problems and kept on rocking. Truly one of the greatest of rock legends.
He stood like that dude to his broken hip…he was still able to sing at the top of his game in his last year
This was the most heartfelt authentic speech....just like Tom Petty himself... your music provided the soundtrack to my life....and I thank you, from my heart. Namaste' xxoo
Your body may be gone Tom, but your music and spirit are still riding the river with your fans!
God. Please love this humble man as much as the fans love and appreciate him. As much as his family cherished him. Thank you , Lord, for giving TOM PETTY to us, for the time , that he was with us. And thank you for so many great songs and memories! Happy birthday TOM. We love you and will always be grateful for your contribution to peace, love, kindness, and rock and roll!
Thank you for posting video of Tom's acceptance speech! Such a prestigious honor and so well-deserved! I could listen to Tom speak all day!
I couldn't agree more. He's a fantastic storyteller... and you know he's got stories to tell! :p
When Jeff Lynne was inducted to the Hollywood Walk of Fame Joe Walsh (happy mad man from the Eagles) and Tom were asked to speak, and Joe Walsh prepared a really funny speech involving the audience -- recommended watching -- and Tom, as is his wont, spoke with some idea of where he was going, but extempore, meaning he made it up as he went along mostly; the result was sincere (afterwards he was heard to say to his friend Jeff Lynne, 'you can kiss me later for this', and it was a great celebratory occasion where everyone in that circle showed up; Dhani Harrison, of course Dana Tom's wife; all of the Hollywood wives with big hats; I'm a woman but I recognize gossips when they manifest themselves, and it was a great occasion. Tom eschewed the limelight; a performer yes but never an exhibitionist so when he had something to say, people listened, and that was a good thing. For a long time he hid behind his sense of humour and various social personae, but towards the end of his life there were one or two longer in depth interviews where his great intelligence, self awareness and knowledge of the social climate were very much in evidence. In my country, Canada, CBC Q, Jian Ghomeshi just after release of Hypnotic Eye was remarkable; there are a few others. I loved the Kennedy Centre Honours celebrating Springsteen; Jon Stewart was hilarious and Sting's tribute was epoch-making. This sort of BRUUUUUUUUUUUCE adulation didn't happen to Tom, nor did he look for it, but deserved it just as much. He did it For Real.
I always loved his honesty. In his songs, & in his public life.
Tom knew his time here was short , so he attended every music invite and interview he could so he could say everything he wanted to say, , and he made sure he thanked everyone along the way up his ladder of success . If anyone in the music biz had a dream come come true to make it to the top , it was Tom Petty and he couldnt have done it without the Heart breakers . What an impact he made on the music world . You can rest in peace now Tom you made it to the top , you will never be forgotten . See you on the other side
you're a good man to ride the river with. As you travel the Forever Rainbow, rock on ... rock on
It’s nice see how Tom mellowed over the years, Mr. Calm. Mr. Cool. Mr. Collected. Rip in peace, brother. See ya in heaven.
9:44...most badass moment in rock n roll history imo
Putting on my sunglasses
@@MetalManiac-ex5nu ha, hell yeah man
Tom Petty's music is going to keep rock & roll real forever.
Tom Petty was the real deal talented writer, musician, producer, who worked with so many different artists that you got to see his incredible range and singular ability to just write hit after hit. He worked with the likes of Stevie Nicks, Johnny Cash, The Travelling Wilburys and so many others. He was on stage for the George Harrison tribute with George's son Dhanni and other greats including that superb Prince guitar solo for While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Tom seemed like a great guy to know and have as your friend. RIP Tom Petty- condolences to the Heartbreakers, family and friends of the band.
I've listened to his music for over 30 years....will miss him...such a gifted, kind, caring
human being. Thanks for helping me get through the good times and the bad. Would have loved to met you and given you a big hug!
I'd ride the river with him any time. Such a huge loss of a Legend 💔
I love all you guys who commented my profound feeling about Tom Petty is that he belongs to all of us maybe more than any other rock musician ..... sometimes it's ok to be at a loss for words. I know he said he was, but actually he had to be one of the most eloquent off the cuff speakers in history ... in 11 minutes he said more than most people take 2 hrs to say. Best wishes to all stay safe in 2021 and Tom will never be forgotten that's a fact.
HE'S THE MOST FANTASTIC MAN EVER!
I loved your well-worthy-of-all-caps comment -- and the following came to mind when I read it. It's from when they were inducted into the hall of fame:
At a time when Rock ‘n’ Roll was split into a dozen competing camps, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers came along to put the pieces back together again. From the first note of their first record, they were both grounded in tradition, and completely fresh. It was as if they had looked at all the possibilities Rock had to offer, and built their music out of only the best parts.Over time each of the Heartbreakers emerged as a songwriter, singer, and record producer. Each had success outside of the band-yet when they came together they put all their talents behind Petty’s vision. Petty’s idea of Rock 'n' Roll was stubborn and rebellious, but full of idealism. To Petty, Rock held up the chance of living a life of community and creativity, without compromise. He never backed off that belief. Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers made music like the last of the true believers. They gave back to their audience what they took from Rock ‘n’ Roll themselves: The best of everything.
No, The Best Man Was + Is GOD's GoVernIng Body, YesUs Christ, Who Was + Is + Will AllWays Be, Thank U Father 4 I AM 4 UR 4EVER !!!/...
raquel mayer Seemed like a real nice guy. Just sad. He had many years left to enjoy.
Ruby Tuesday ~ He said he was done touring because he wanted to spend time with his grandchild. He didn't get the chance. I can't stop listening to him and I can't stop crying. Such a huge hole in so many hearts. A true HEARTBREAKER 💔.
+KEN5423 u are an ass hat...stfu
If there was ONE wish it would be to give Tom Petty back. To be treasured forever. RIP great man.
Tom Petty - one of the greatest rock and roll songwriters of all time, very decent man AND truthteller:
"I JOINED THE CONSPIRACY TO PUT BLACK MUSIC
ON POPULAR WHITE RADIO!!!"
Bruce Springsteen said almost the EXACT same thing...
Tom Petty sang his heart out for us. Literally.
We love you TP. You'll be here forever.
And I thought I could not love him more!!
Trish Pulley How can u love someone u dont know. u silly tit
Dear Trish, What some people don't understand is that Tom Petty, and all songwriters, pour their hearts and souls into their music and allow us to know them on a deeply personal level. It's an amazing gift, and an honor to be able to share in the relationship between artist and audience. Don't allow anyone to discount your experience.
I'm so sad ... he was one of the greats! 😥. RIP Tom ...
He was so humble and down to earth.😊 He is deeply missed by so many of us.😔
I took him for granted until I read his biography. He’s one of the best ever!
One of the best souls to ever inhabit this planet, people like Tom make the world a better place, and show the rest of us the way. Can't wait to see him and the Heartbreaker's 40th year tour soon!
its so good that he got to do shoutouts to everyone who helped and inspired him like this before passing
Physical pain has many symptoms. Despite his pain, Toms passion for music is admirable and inspiring as heard in his speech and shown in his music. Thanks Tom, your music carries your fans through their river of life and helps to make the world a better place to live in. RIP Beautiful Man ☮️💟 Serenade in the heavens with angels 💜
A really great speech made by a truly genuine person who is also a genuine artist. A lot of great stories and a lot of humility.
....Honey, you damned well HAVE 'earned' them dark sunglasses at night...:) all hail Thomas Earl...as a singer, as a writer...as a person, as a composer, as a producer...as a major carrier of the torch...we gonna MISS you like oxygen for ever....💔☮⚜
Such a beautiful, gracious, talented, amazing soul, you are and will always be dearly, dearly missed Tom Petty 😢

I feel so honored just to have been able to be on earth at the same time as Tom Petty and the amazing Heartbreakers. Their music has been one of the soundtracks of my 65 years on the planet, with "Learning To Fly" being the theme song. The one time I saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was the best concert of my life, and I've been to many, many iconic performances. I'll see you on the other side, Tom 💔
Mr. Petty, you are missed! I will listen to his music forever. His fantastic speech about the origin of rock and roll is the greatest! A wise and sweet man! May you ride the river to heaven!
I have not played any other music in my car since he passed , my soul is mourning as is the case for all of us who love him ,his creative gifts and portrayal of emotions in his life profoundly impact us because he so beautifuly connects the human spirit and hearts to one another ....he makes us feel completly understood.What an amazing bright light he was and he shines on and on and always will!!!! RIP Tom
I realize you wrote this 3 years ago, but your words touched me deeply because I feel the same way about Tom Petty. He lives on in folks like us who have been moved by his music and who continue to listen 🎶 Godspeed, my friend ❤
RIP tom you are one of the best America will miss you forever
THE best
MusiCares has saved my Life literally! I was a Homeless Drummer with no where to go almost lost my house. MusiCares sustained me for 19 months in my own Home. Thank You Foo Fighters and the Grammy Association. Also I want to Thank every Musician who raised Money for this Life saving Organization. GOD Bless You!
Fast forward a few years and your heart breaks. My Dad loved him he ... just spoke the truth. So few people of whom that can be said with confidence and gratitude ... and sorrow.
Our hearts are broken. We miss you Tom.
I listen to this often, because it’s so great!
Every few months I do to
What a lovely human being Tom Petty is! We are blessed to have him. Yes, let's all aspire to riding the river of our lives in the same way!
he was, dumb, but lovely
With a little heroin mixed in?
Dumb? Seriously? Why, because he talks slowly with his laconic southern drawl? No way you can really listen to his songs and think he's dumb.
"the young 'uns call it country. the Yankees call it dumb. I got my own way of talking & every word's begun with a Southern accent where I come from" I think that he may have been on pain meds for his hip during this. The only time he didn't feel that pain was when he strapped on his guitar & took the stage. We lost one of the best.Take your rest,Tom & keep those shades on
Go away.
Tom was the best. I saw him in Gainesville 3 times in 1972-1973 with the original Mudcrutch. Even shook his hand at Dubs one night. I haven't felt such sense of personal loss since John Lennon was killed.
He is still riding the river. He is amazing. I can sort of see he might have been in pain from his hips here. Doesn’t take away from his beautiful presence at all. Love you Tom!!!
His speech was absolutely beautiful. I am speechless other than to say only beautiful souls can give such beautiful speeches. You've been a very good man to ride the river with, without question. Much love to you. RIP.
To T.P wherever you are up in heaven, oh yeah, all right take it easy baby, make it last all night.
We will love and miss you forever Tom Petty, you truly changed my life🎸❤️😭🎹😇 love one of your youngest 14 year old fan but I’m definitely one of your biggest fans 🎸❤️🎸❤️🎸❤️
Musicares helped me through one of my time of greatest need and I'm grateful. Tom Petty helped me make sense out of all my other times of need, great and small, for over 40 years. I miss him every day.
Whatta a cool dude Tom is after watching many videos over the past week ,
Tom Petty isn't stuck on himself like Tom Cruise , what a cool act.
R.IP. Tom Petty What a force of nature and poetry you were.
Class act. Nothing but respect from his public and his peers.
Of all the things we can say about him - he was BRILLIANT. When I think about his connection with music as a child, which was fueled an uncanny drive, focus, and determination to make and perform music as his work, it's a rare glimpse into the soul of a true artist. The wisdom he demonstrated in making decisions about what kind of music he would make; how and where he and the band would perform; his initiative with industry execs; and every aspect of his business - showed me that he was not only brilliant but wise. He had extremely strong ideas about how to shape the path he wanted to follow - and and did so against all odds. The loss of Tom Petty is like losing someone very close to me. I absolutely adored and loved him . . . and still do. His music will be around for a very long time. Thank you, Tom. You were a special person and now RIP. Linda
Those of us that “Love Him” owe him a lot of Thanks for getting us all through so many rough times. He is doing this for me at this very second....Yeah we lost a “True Gem”.....Many Sincere Thanks Tom Petty.....
Much love to Tom Petty for his fantastic contributions to music and to our world in general. Makes riding the river better in every way.
Eternal Coolness and Talent. Such a gift to music lovers worldwide.
He definetely earned his dark glasses !!! Thank you Leon !!
The end got me choked up. So glad I traveled to Champagne, IL to see him in May. Hell of a show.
Tim Doran paid 275$ for a ticket to see him at Red Rocks on my 30th Birthday. Literally the best 275$ I’ve ever spent. It was my 5th Petty Show. First was his 30th anniversary tour, last was his 40th. Under the Denver sky at the best Venue in America. It was Magical. I knew it would be the last one.
I miss you Tom Petty. Hard to ride the river without you. Missing you 4 yrs later just like the first moment we lost you. RIP.
Tom was a man I wanted to meet. I loved all of his songs.
I could listen to him talking all day. Very interesting character and lovely sexy accent. I could listen to his music all day too.
lockleaze.....👍👏👍👏
Clearly, you're very sharp n' smart...ain't NOTHIN like a slow-talkin' blue-eyed Southern boy to cure what ails ya....;)!!!☮⚜
@@suzannereilman4516 Amen to that, sister!! ("Black Velvet, with that little boy smile. Black Velvet, with that slow Southern style. A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees. Black Velvet, if you please." That was sung by Alannah Miles back in the 90's, about Elvis Presley. Well, Tom Petty was MY Elvis; my sweet, sexy Southern man. :-) )
Miss this guy. I think he remains the greatest songwriter to ever have lived.
I love and appreciate and miss you so much Tom. I could listen to your stories forever.
What an incredible musician and man. Incredible..... These musicians touched my soul. Tom Petty. Maybe I'll be a particle in the universe with the likes of him and so many others. Whatever that is...
Don’t know about ya’ll but I have been grieving about this for a month and still hurts but “I Am Listening To That Song “Swinging” and it got me thinking I wanted to add one more thing.....as sad as this is we all know that Tom Petty “DID GO DOWN SWINGING”.....The ones that loved his music, like I did, will keep him alive in his music. We Will Again Miss You Brother and So Appreciate the Help and Hope You Gave Us All.......Thank You Again Tom Petty......
Wow this goes deep. We lost someone special that I really never paid much attention to, and now I can’t get enough of him. Love his Florida hick accent
Not sure what that little twitch was all about, but it was unnerving to see, I've never noticed it before. Considering how he passed. I'm sure someone knows much more than me about it. If so, do tell. I will certainly miss Tom and that wonderful band. Having said that, it almost seems natural that a Rebel like Tom would go out on top rather fade out. He is so loved. How lucky we are to have had him in our lives. God Bless you TP.
Sid Simo when Tom Petty was a child he was diagnosed with a chronic mouth issue that made his jaw lock when he spoke alot....(singing is more fluid...smoother)....the twitch of the mouth makes all the sense in the world if you have bad TMJ.
It was like a nervous switch......I noticed it when he interviewed.
Physical pain has many symptoms. Despite his pain, Toms passion for music is admirable and inspiring as heard in his speech and shown in his music. Thanks Tom, your music carries your fans through their river of life and helps to make the world a better place to live in. RIP Beautiful Man ☮️💟 Serenade in the heavens with angels 💜
wildlower honetbee what a crock of shite
@@GGucciPJsDrippinTMWut Everything that you said is wrong. Take your negativity some place else. "Smoking pot for years will do that to you." I literally know hundreds of people, including myself, who have partaken of this wonderful, healing herb for the last 40 years and have absolutely no negative side effects. Beats the hell out of alcohol. Now there is a life destroying elixar.
Watching this with a smile and tears simultaneously. Still so hard to believe this legend has moved on. Thanks Tom for everything.
He was as real as they come..see ya around there sometime Tom Petty !
I could just listen to him speak all night.....
Ridin' the river in the sky. Love you Tom forever.
He seemed like he was really in pain here. Poor sweetie. There has been a hole in my heart ever since he passed.
I love Tom Petty. No, I mean I genuinely have love for the man. His music doesn’t emanate from my speakers, it comes out of the middle of my heart and I don’t think I’m alone in that sentiment.
Never seen this before and am so glad I just watched it. Of course Mr Petty is having some physical issues, but he pressed on and we are all grateful. So sad that we lost him 6 months later, was just a sad day. But he made it through that last tour. We just love Tom Petty to this day.
Warching this, you don't even have to know his music to love this sweet man.
What a beautiful speech. Seriously (glancing upward)......you had to take this guy from us????? RIP Mr Petty.
Beautiful blues eyes. Too soon. So sad.
God bless you and RIP Tom Petty
I already miss this wonderful man, so much, he truly was a musical genius. RIP Tom, your music will live on forever in my heart.
Today's music need to learn from this guy amazing artist .thanks for the music tom rip.
Ive known for a long time that Tom was with Leon and shelter records ..Being from Oklahoma we Know Leon . Leon changed the world and so did Tom and now they are both passed and life will never be the same ...I really hate change . Leon blessed my heart for so long as did Tom and the heart breakers . God dang its been a rough couple of years .

I wasn’t crazy about his music,,but now I love the guy and can’t stop listening.RIP dear man❤️🇨🇦
Hope they put Cash's personal handwritten line to Tom on his stone...
"A Good Man To Ride The River With"
There will never ever be true rock n roll again. My heart is shatterd in to a million tiny places still. I will always support music cares. I hope the new .musicians take note behind TP&💔
Going to miss you but your music will live on RIP
Such a wonderful speech! And a Leon Russell joke!
God Bless and heal you, Tom Petty! So many people love you! More than words can say! I am one of them! Forever!!!!
RIP, I will miss you so much. I thank God for you and the Heartbreakers for being true artists and unique. God Bless, God Rest you, brother...One Day #Mojo
When the likes of George, Ringo, McGuinn, Dylan, Cash and Nicks come to you while you are still in your 30s, there is no doubt you are among the best. Beyond his music Tom had the biggest heart and the most humility of anyone in the business. There will never be anyone like Tom Petty!
Your glasses belong on Tom! You are the best. 11 shows this series and so many more, you are the sound track of my life and will continue to be.
Tom Petty songs had big meaning in my life so I'll always love him and the heart breakers!🙂The support they showed for me was so appreciated and it really helped me! I hope to ride that river with tom one day! 🙂❤️✌🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✨ Bw.
