Here's Tom Petty's comment the day after Garry died: "I’ve known Garry for a long time. We go back to the mid-80’s. I just want people to remember what great work he gave us. The Larry Sanders Show just stands as some of the best TV work ever done. He was always quiet about his talent and just a really decent guy. We had a very strong friendship. We kept in touch all that time. You know, he’d come to our shows, and he’d hang out with us. I went to his house many times and he would come to my house. It was a comfortable friendship where if he came over I didn’t feel like I had to entertain him, and it was the same way back. He had an incredibly original talent, and as a man I can’t say enough about him. He was more than a showbiz acquaintance to me, he was a dear friend, and I will miss him."
They were great friends. And I feel honored they shared it with us. If only we could have friendships this great. I wish they had kept rolling. Garry was getting teary eyed, and that is part of all friendships. RIP to these two greats. Both departed at age 65. Both creative geniuses, ...still producing up until the end.
So hard for TP to be that candid -- I'm jewish and suddenly dropping in on friends when you know your time is limited -- I understand the prison of celebrity but I would do that. Funny reflective deeply painful to watch; I take a stand on breach of boundaries but it's ok to watch this and not rent the Bogdanovitch official bio video -- makes zero sense.
The great friendship between the two was great, I just watched Gary with Jerry Seinfeld and those two were really funny together. But I DO MISS BOTH OF THESE GREAT TALENTS MORE THAN ANYONE COULD KNOW. I felt SO BAD when both of them left us. All we can do is listen to you heir Music and all the great music legacy left to us, and watch all the great comedy by a genius unique comedian. Fortunately there is a sizable amount from both of these greatly missed talents! R.I.P. Gary Shandling and R.I.P. Tom Petty!
Bad faery at the party. I don't know what happened that day but Dana was hiding in the bedroom and Tom was the ultimate introvert it felt like a huge intrusion watching this. If it's real, Gary Schandling must have told him he was dying or something. This video should be removed but of course won't be because of the lack of boundaries on the part of fans who have now been termed as engaging in what is now officially parasocial relationships with people they will never meet often and now permanently dead. Were I Dana I would hide in the bedroom as well. !st time Warren Zane Tom's biographer met him outside his house he was in camo hiding in the bushes outside the restaurant. You people are clueless.
RIP Garry Shandling (November 29, 1949 - March 24, 2016), aged 66 And RIP Tom Petty (October 20, 1950 - October 2, 2017), aged 66 You both will be remembered as legends.
I saw this years ago after TP passed away. And I thought this video was kind of uncanny, after the way they were talking in it and what they were saying. It's almost like fate knew they were both going to be gone shortly.
Just watched Tom Petty Documentary then watched some Larry Sanders which brought me to this. I remembered this and now watching it again how profound it is. Life is short everyone. Both were 66. Definitely too short for these two incredible talents. I laugh and it’s sad at the same time…
Exactly. I'm glad some can appreciate that. If it's to be, I'll be 70 in a couple months. 66 definately is too young, especially for talent like that. Kindred spirits I would say.
Absolutely or if they did they would then be put in a corner and not talked to at said party……two incredibly talented humans of prose and artistry RIP gentlemen the world was better place with you in it!
It is strange to be 63 and notice we think about these things and start to prepare for this. We are apart but still one with each other. Guess we will always be together one way or another.
Who ever is responsible for posting this, THANK YOU. I've watched this several times now and each time I get more and more out of it. Thank you again...
Until this very moment, I had no idea these two guys even knew each other. Each separately had amazingly profound insight into creativity. Mind blown! Thanks.
And this is really what RUclips is about to me... this made my day worthwhile. An unvarnished conversation between two adult humans who have led extraordinary lives. Thanks for uploading.
Yep, just read an article too, where he basically said he'd never quit. He became vegetarian too, he said because of factory farming but I'd bet his Doc said something about it too. That said, Garry...a card carrying health fanatic who yet, was a stress-y dude. Nah...none of us know when...be good to yourself, stay cool and never forget to laugh and always, always watch re-runs of The Larry Sanders Show and listen to the GREAT Tom Petty.
I must say those are great prescriptions, especially laffs. all this talk of an intrusion, geez, regular folks even, are sometimes divided about having company. the wife may want to look her best. and they're shooting video. "the doors are open", as Mr. Petty says.
OMG too funny - and so laid back! Both these guys are such excellent and talented entertainers in their own right. Thank you for sharing this gem! It's great that their memories will live on in audio and video. RIP Gary and Tom. You left us too young, and too soon-- but with these classics, you'll always keep rocking us!
@@designerlarry tx Larry. Dana would not come out of the bedroom or wherever she was and for me it did feel like an an intrusion; I don't revisit this video because ... finish the sentence. And yes to everything you wrote. Except there was a glimpse of his dog at the time I banish myself.
That is life in form. You collect all this precious stuff, vintage analog equipment. Great guitars and amps, and mixing boards. Then you pass on without it. This is not a sad thing, but to realize every most sacred, private, special thing of mine, will just be left, when I pass on.
"I'm just keeping my eye on that Neverland Ranch, if it ever goes up for sale. Because he's already done all the work"... Damn, that made me laugh. Miss both of them!
I have watched this many times. And I just can’t believe that both Tom and Gary are gone. The world in my eyes has definitely become a colder place to live. The fact that these two characters died I think a year or two apart blows my mind….WTF? I just miss them and I never met either of them?
Tom Petty is right when he talks about the quality and warmth of analog sound, and that's why all his records sound great. I even started collecting them, but only the original old edition, nothing new digitally remastered.
I always thought the same as what he said about the "warmth" of old records as opposed to a "coldness" with digital. I have almost every 45 and LP I owned since 1963. Nice to know someone like Tom thinks the same way but we are of the same generation. Miss him.
The idea that Tom Petty second-guessed parts of his performances is both bewildering and comforting. I'll try to remember that the next time I'm beating myself up with woulda-coulda-shouldas.
Loved them both. Tom Petty was my favorite male rock singer. Loved his voice. Gary Shandling cracked me up like no other. God, he was funny. "This is good shit." LMAO!
I guess I never realized these two guys were "really" friends - makes sense as they seem to be of the same personality! Thanks guys for keeping us entertained all those years - rest in peace.
This is so interesting. The conversation they were having, Garry saying that we should tell people we love them as you never know, and Tom telling the story of how Garry stood looking out over the landscape and said 'It's the end of the world.' These kind of topics, philosophical questions, are usually discussed when you're at the end of your life, when you know you are ill. I didn't know much, if anything, about Garry Shandling, but I believe he sadly died not that long after this. It's as if somewhere in our subconscious, we 'know' we're at that point. He seemed a lovely guy. I'm glad they filmed this, I'm sure Tom will treasure it.
Gary Shandling lived almost another 20 years after this was recorded, so I doubt he was anticipating his demise any more than anyone does throughout their life. If you listen to the context and the way it was said, it wasn't a reference to one's death anyway. "Said as an observer, from the outside."
This was filmed in 2006 (released in 2007) and Shandling died in 2016. He had another 10 years to go and Petty had 11 1/2 years to go. I hope they loved their last decade.
@@globalmonkey007 Thank you for that. I was curious as to how soon they each passed after this was recorded. Garry looks so hale and hearty here, while Tom looks washed out. Tom still smoked, which probably contributed to his funereal pallor. I couldn't tell what Garry was drinking. Perhaps club soda? If it was a sugared drink, then it wasn't good for him.
Who would have ever thought these two would be close friends? It makes sense since they were both wonderfully talented and genuine people. Watching this makes me both happy and sad.
I was 17 when Damn the Torpedoes came out and Tom Petty's music really was the soundtrack to the best years of my life. I was lucky to have seen him at an outdoor show at Greatwoods in Massachusetts when the Black Crows were the opening act. That was easily the best concert I've ever seen. Then I saw him again in Hartford with Steve Winwood. I wish like hell I'd seen him 10 more times. I haven't changed my Sirius radio from the Tom Petty station since he passed. What a loss to the music world. Him and Malcom Young. Two of the best musicians ever.
"Two farmers on acid," says Tom. Their humor together is a total treat. I’ll bet Tom’s dinner parties were pretty amazing. Get George Harrison in there, with his sense of humor, forgetaboutit. RIP all of them. 🙏
I love Tom Petty. THere is a Tom Petty cover band here in Richmond, Virginia and so it's gotten me to listen to him again. What a poet! What a great musician. I miss him!
I have watched several interviews of Tom Petty, some real good ones. But this chat with his pal Gary Shandling is the best thing I have found of Tom speaking. It's so real and interesting. Just Tom being Tom, at home with a friend. I've watched it about 7 times now. Soon to be 8.
Shame on me, I didn't know Gary Passed away, I just found out about Tom a few hours ago...........SO SAD, I'm being Selfish of Course who's to know when and why the GREAT ONE'S go to Early in My opinion. Never Got to see Tom LIVE, I Thank GOD AND TOM For leaving us a PHENOMENAL BODY OF MUSIC BEHIND, Tom was such a GREAT ARTIST AS WELL AS A WONDERFUL HUMANITARIAN!!! R.I.P. TOM, YOU WILL BE SORELY MISSED...............................🎸❤💚❤
Tom is right about tubes. I have had a tube pre-amp for the last 20 years. When I was auditioning equipment in an audio store, I heard 2 or 3 solid state pre-amps and then when the guy hooked up the tube pre-amp, the difference in the warmth of the sound was immediately apparent.
I’ve owned a vintage Neve… And first off it’s a UK made (not German) discrete component transistor console with loads of transformers … not a single tube in them 😂
I LOVE this! Just cried my eyes out having heard you have died today! Thank you peaky hat for our wonderful talks : you were so REAL & FUN . R.I.P you LEGEND 🌹💋❤️
Tonight is the first time I have seen this video. Ironically today I chose to quit smoking...again. I'm 63 and in great shape (I thought). When Tom died at 66 from a heart attack I decided to see the doctor to have my blood pressure checked the other day. It was always low, 110 to 120. The other day it was 145 this was due to picking up smoking again. It was a year ago that I restarted. Now I'm Jonesing, but I'm done with cigs. Tom died from smoking like a chimney, the same with Bowie. If you don't smoke, please never try it. It absolutely sucks and it's one of the most addictive drugs on earth. I'll be okay in 3 days when the nicotine is out of my system. But the habit will take longer to diminish. Miss you Tom Petty!
BangTaoBeach May your road to being smoke free be a steady one. But if it's rough, most likely, hold on, cry, exercise and eat well through the shit. Bless you
Thanks for posting. Two great guys, showing what friendship and life is all about... And how short life is.... LA is really a small town sometimes... RIP Tom and Gary...
Garry Shandling Was one year older than Tom. Gary passed way in 2016 at 66 years old. Tom passed away in 2017 at 66 years old Three weeks shy of his 67th birthday. RIP.
These could have been any two guys on any street corner in any city or state in America. Without knowing them, you could pass them on the street and never realize that you're looking at a comedy great in a rock and roll legend. RIP gentleman. Thanks for the tunes and the laughs.
This video is good for my soul. When I'm feeling down I come here, both amazing men gone too soon. I remember watching The Gary Shandling Show on the tube TV in my moms bedroom cause it was the only room with AC when I was a kid. And Tom, well, been a fan since the first time I heard Free Fallin. Both gone way too soon.
I used to smoke 5 packs a day. Marlboro Red and a cuppa. Quit many years ago. One day a lower intestine CT scan picked up a small spot on my lung. (I have long lungs) I started crying immediately. Went through 3 years of follow up scans to see if it grew. It did not. It was scar tissue from a previous infection. That was a long 3 years. I'm 70 and have little residual issues. Just lucky.
I have never seen this before, or even knew about Garry's interviewing show. Or whatever this is. But... WOW. This is amazing. I was a kid when I accidentally discovered the Garry Shandling show and the quirky humor. I was bummed when it ended, and didn't like the Sanders show as much but I didn't know anyone else who was into his humor as much as I was. I was also raised on LOTS of Tom Petty from my dad. So seeing this... Wow. what an awesome and hilarious pairing.
LUCKY said he was LUCKY !!! loved tom petty's music you liked one song you pretty much liked them all i wont back down running down a dream list goes on GARRY i used to watch the larry sanders show all the time garry and rip torn the shame about it all is pretty much all the good ones are gone people like TOM and GARRY are missed in this day and time!!
The beauty of true friends... Hopefully, everyone gets to experience gets this kind of friendship. Where doesn't matter if you haven't seen each other in years, the conversation and feeling hasn't skipped a beat. As if there was no time apart. Everything just flows naturally. So cool. May they meet again...
I don't think I can describe exactly how I feel having watched it. I'm now 61& a half. I was a fan of both these guys. they both died way too young, and now I find this video I didn't know existed where they share real feelings (despite 3 cameras). I felt exactly the same about both their deaths .now? so soon? it makes me even happier though, that I finally visited my uncle yesterday ,who I have only seen recently at the funerals of 2 of his sons(my first cousins) in the recent past ,about 2 yrs time .he's lost 4 sons in all. (a family of 14 kids in 2 marriages)he turns 89 in Dec. and he looks great! (not a smoker) .my Dad, his brother, a retired firefighter ,died suddenly at 65 . I've been at the point where I fear I could go before him, and not see him ONCE socially .we really don't know what that next day on the calendar will bring .I was very entertained by this, but it will now be a constant reminder of just how short life can be. always seeing Petty playing & singing, I really didn't know how much he smoked.

Rest in peace Tom and Gary. 😢 Have missed you.
“Life is short, but not short enough.” Classic. Fortunately, these two will live forever.
These guys were better friends than we know about. And still laughing together. R.I.P. you two.
i wish i could have burnt one with Tom
Two true legends in my opinion...
No, they no longer exist other than in our memories. Till we stop breathing.
@@dukeallen432 you do YOU, Boo!
Best Joke I ever heard out of a stand up comic " I got the Tom petty looks without the talent " :) Joel in Florida
They were both 66 when they passed. We miss you, gents. Great laughs and great music. Respect and Rest In Peace and condolences to those close to you.
yeah I noticed that after Tom died
Jesus... so young. I cherish this video.
They don’t make em like these two anymore ❤️
66 & 6 mos. Think about it
It got me when Garry said, “life is short”
@@buckchile614 What's there to think about?
Just watched Tom Petty Documentary then watched some Larry Sanders which brought me to this. I remembered this and now watching it again how profound it is. Life is short everyone. Both were 66. Definitely too short for these two incredible talents. I laugh and it’s sad at the same time…
Exactly. I'm glad some can appreciate that. If it's to be, I'll be 70 in a couple months. 66 definately is too young, especially for talent like that. Kindred spirits I would say.
Tom seems like someone you could listen to all day about music, or life in general, and not get tired of hearing him.
you can play Tom Petty music at a party and absolutely no one would complain.
Absolutely or if they did they would then be put in a corner and not talked to at said party……two incredibly talented humans of prose and artistry RIP gentlemen the world was better place with you in it!
If you could rid of his supporting laugh track crew.
Tom is literally ALL I listen to…REAL rock n roll…everything else in comparison is SHIT@@duhbigcat1848
"And look at you now. You're making a DVD."
The dry delivery really makes it.
I laughed out loud at that one... 😂
most people think of tom only for his music talent, but he fought the record giants and won
Yes he did.
Everybody's got to fight to be free...
The record company eventually got its pound of flesh in revenge.
I love this. I've watched this twice before and here I am back for the third time. Two of my favorite showbiz guys. Rest in Peace, men.
I've watched it a few times over the years but it really hit me harder than ever today... how beautiful, so poignant in all of its awkwardness
Agree
I will never tire of rewatching this. Tom had such a great sense of humour.
Agreed. 💯
I REALLY AGREE
He was a regular guy, and a genius
@@JeffMTX SURE WAS, SIMPLY
THE GREATEST SWEET SOUL.
,
I know this will sound hopelessly and stupidly corny but - .......... how utterly sweet.
It is sweet. xo
Ray Kaelin Not at all. Utterly sweet and charming.
Ray Kaelin no. It's perfect. Thankyou.
Ray Kaelin - I was just thinking exactly that, while watching this! This is a gem!
Not at all it is sweet that they got to say how they felt about each other. Some people never say it then regret not doing so when one passes.
The older you get, the other side gets a little less scary. If those two guys are over there, I'm not freaked about going there either.
I love that concept
@D Larson keep telling yourself that
It is strange to be 63 and notice we think about these things and start to prepare for this. We are apart but still one with each other. Guess we will always be together one way or another.
@CFFAT Depend or depends..
Losing fear of death is the first rung on the ladder of enlightenment.
I just can not fucking believe that they are both gone. I can´t .
Billy its fucking so sad. I loved both these men. Crazy.
yes, it's painful. Still.
...And probably always will be - for us. BUT, we are so lucky to have experienced these men in our lifetime. (I'm still grieving.)
Who ever is responsible for posting this, THANK YOU.
I've watched this several times now and each time I get more and more out of it. Thank you again...
TY, NP. Kunchcar Whaleboy
My first stop was here after learning about Tom's passing today. Two of my absolute favorite spirits. The world is a lesser place without you both.
Until this very moment, I had no idea these two guys even knew each other. Each separately had amazingly profound insight into creativity. Mind blown! Thanks.
Ditto. Al these years, who wudda' known?
You can find Tom on an episode of Larry Sanders! Clearly great pals.
"Did you become Jewish since the last time..." I love Tom's reaction to that joke.
Brilliant
My God, that's gotta be the funniest line ever. The first time I heard it I had to pause the clip and my stomach hurt from the laughing.
....that was outstanding , almost profound ...loved both of those guys ...." life is short , but not short enough "
Genius way to break any jitters, or the "hey how's it goin'" tension. Just drops the "take your clothes off" out of thin air.
And this is really what RUclips is about to me... this made my day worthwhile. An unvarnished conversation between two adult humans who have led extraordinary lives. Thanks for uploading.
This is amazing footage, I'm glad it was captured. Rest Easy you two.

What a great line by Garry. This whole get together was just plain great. I wish they were still here.

Living proof that life is to prescious and to short....R.I.P to both Gary Shandling

OMG too funny - and so laid back!
Both these guys are such excellent and talented entertainers in their own right.
Thank you for sharing this gem!
It's great that their memories will live on in audio and video.

You left us too young, and too soon--
but with these classics, you'll always keep rocking us!

Tom's board is savage. Who wouldn't wanna hang out with Tom Petty? :o
That is life in form. You collect all this precious stuff, vintage analog equipment. Great guitars and amps, and mixing boards. Then you pass on without it.
This is not a sad thing, but to realize every most sacred, private, special thing of mine, will just be left, when I pass on.

Funnies line in the whole thing. I'm in Tom Petty mourning mode and this is so perfect.

Indeed!
Rest in peace Tom and Gary. Tragic news about Tom's passing.....
I've seen this a bunch of times and I just think it is so sweet when two friends are talking to each other. You could tell they were good friends.

Two of my favorite performers on the planet hanging out. Lost both of these guys too soon. What great stuff.
The idea that Tom Petty second-guessed parts of his performances is both bewildering and comforting. I'll try to remember that the next time I'm beating myself up with woulda-coulda-shouldas.
It's commonplace I believe. I beat myself up during or after a show. The crowd never notices. "Once is a mistake, twice is jazz."
Two talented men. They are both gone but we have the songs and the programs. RIP Tom and Garry!
“Did you become Jewish since I last saw you?”
I was never really aware of their friendship. Such a beautiful thing
RIP Tom. They're neighbors again now :-(
Well then, in their mutual nothingness they are together. How's that?"
@@jackiegreig5103 not good

Best therapy in the world two old friends talking together

Said this was filmed in 2007. Gary died in 2016. He lived nine more years after this. Not twenty as someone said.
This was filmed in 2006 (released in 2007) and Shandling died in 2016. He had another 10 years to go and Petty had 11 1/2 years to go. I hope they loved their last decade.
The date of posting the video on a RUclips channel is often quite different than the date of recording.
@@globalmonkey007 Thank you for that. I was curious as to how soon they each passed after this was recorded. Garry looks so hale and hearty here, while Tom looks washed out. Tom still smoked, which probably contributed to his funereal pallor.
I couldn't tell what Garry was drinking. Perhaps club soda? If it was a sugared drink, then it wasn't good for him.
2 farmers on acid.
Tears in the eyes. I think Shandling passing may have really hurt Tom. It strikes me they were very very close. RIP guys.
"Did you turn jewish....?" Omg, I'm loving this. Kinda teared up towards the end.
You used to come over… 😂
Watching this and said to ourselves,'How ironic to see these two together today.' Rest In Peace Gary and Tom.
This is my favourite video on the internet
Who would have ever thought these two would be close friends? It makes sense since they were both wonderfully talented and genuine people. Watching this makes me both happy and sad.
True in this case, however this statement isn't always 100% true.
I was 17 when Damn the Torpedoes came out and Tom Petty's music really was the soundtrack to the best years of my life. I was lucky to have seen him at an outdoor show at Greatwoods in Massachusetts when the Black Crows were the opening act. That was easily the best concert I've ever seen. Then I saw him again in Hartford with Steve Winwood. I wish like hell I'd seen him 10 more times. I haven't changed my Sirius radio from the Tom Petty station since he passed. What a loss to the music world. Him and Malcom Young. Two of the best musicians ever.
"Two farmers on acid," says Tom. Their humor together is a total treat. I’ll bet Tom’s dinner parties were pretty amazing. Get George Harrison in there, with his sense of humor, forgetaboutit. RIP all of them. 🙏
I love Tom Petty. THere is a Tom Petty cover band here in Richmond, Virginia and so it's gotten me to listen to him again. What a poet! What a great musician. I miss him!
They were almost the same age, and both passed away at 66? Geez. Rest in peace, Tom and Gary. Thanks for uploading this.
Just One of my many favourite clips with Garry and Tom. Miss them both R.I.P 😇
The chat between them was priceless.
I have watched several interviews of Tom Petty, some real good ones. But this chat with his pal Gary Shandling is the best thing I have found of Tom speaking. It's so real and interesting. Just Tom being Tom, at home with a friend. I've watched it about 7 times now. Soon to be 8.
Shame on me, I didn't know Gary Passed away, I just found out about Tom a few hours ago...........SO SAD, I'm being Selfish of Course who's to know when and why the GREAT ONE'S go to Early in My opinion. Never Got to see Tom LIVE, I Thank GOD AND TOM For leaving us a PHENOMENAL BODY OF MUSIC BEHIND, Tom was such a GREAT ARTIST AS WELL AS A WONDERFUL HUMANITARIAN!!! R.I.P. TOM, YOU WILL BE SORELY MISSED...............................🎸❤💚❤
Tom is right about tubes. I have had a tube pre-amp for the last 20 years. When I was auditioning equipment in an audio store, I heard 2 or 3 solid state pre-amps and then when the guy hooked up the tube pre-amp, the difference in the warmth of the sound was immediately apparent.
I’ve owned a vintage Neve…
And first off it’s a UK made (not German) discrete component transistor console with loads of transformers … not a single tube in them 😂
I LOVE this! Just cried my eyes out having heard you have died today! Thank you peaky hat for our wonderful talks : you were so REAL & FUN . R.I.P you LEGEND 🌹💋❤️
Tonight is the first time I have seen this video. Ironically today I chose to quit smoking...again. I'm 63 and in great shape (I thought). When Tom died at 66 from a heart attack I decided to see the doctor to have my blood pressure checked the other day. It was always low, 110 to 120. The other day it was 145 this was due to picking up smoking again. It was a year ago that I restarted. Now I'm Jonesing, but I'm done with cigs. Tom died from smoking like a chimney, the same with Bowie. If you don't smoke, please never try it. It absolutely sucks and it's one of the most addictive drugs on earth. I'll be okay in 3 days when the nicotine is out of my system. But the habit will take longer to diminish. Miss you Tom Petty!
BangTaoBeach May your road to being smoke free be a steady one. But if it's rough, most likely, hold on, cry, exercise and eat well through the shit. Bless you
Good luck buddy. I wish you the best.
Read "the easy way to stop smoking" by Allen Carr. I haven't smoked in 3 months and I dont miss it at all.
Fentenyl killed Petty, not smoking. But good luck with that, quit 18 years ago myself.
Tom died due to drug use
Thanks for posting. Two great guys, showing what friendship and life is all about... And how short life is.... LA is really a small town sometimes...
RIP Tom and Gary...
I'd like to think that Tom and Gary are doing this exact thing right now...
Both Now Gone Forever, Man Life is Short...RIP Tom & Gary...
Garry Shandling Was one year older than Tom. Gary passed way in 2016 at 66 years old. Tom passed away in 2017 at 66 years old Three weeks shy of his 67th birthday. RIP.
This is one of the most hilarious interviews I've ever seen. They were both geniuses in their own right...
These could have been any two guys on any street corner in any city or state in America. Without knowing them, you could pass them on the street and never realize that you're looking at a comedy great in a rock and roll legend. RIP gentleman. Thanks for the tunes and the laughs.
Just fascinating. Simply.
RIP , , soo good to see this. a very special 20 minutes,,,thanks.
Just a fantastastic interview! R.I.P Gary and Tom.
That was just beautiful. What a great couple of guys. And some great shit.
This video is good for my soul. When I'm feeling down I come here, both amazing men gone too soon. I remember watching The Gary Shandling Show on the tube TV in my moms bedroom cause it was the only room with AC when I was a kid. And Tom, well, been a fan since the first time I heard Free Fallin. Both gone way too soon.
Dang. My radio is locked on Sirius Tom Petty. To see him spark up one Camel after another just bores a hole in my heart. I will miss him forever.
I used to smoke 5 packs a day. Marlboro Red and a cuppa. Quit many years ago. One day a lower intestine CT scan picked up a small spot on my lung. (I have long lungs) I started crying immediately. Went through 3 years of follow up scans to see if it grew. It did not. It was scar tissue from a previous infection. That was a long 3 years. I'm 70 and have little residual issues. Just lucky.
rip Garry shandling two cool guys there
krlm2280 ....Fly High with the angels...Tom & Garry
Even the way Tom smoked was cool….Rest in peace to Garry and Tom🙏🏻❤
Give me the names of the 20 thumbs down. I will find them...
Maybe they were drinking with excitement and just pressed the wrong button 🤔
I have never seen this before, or even knew about Garry's interviewing show. Or whatever this is. But... WOW. This is amazing. I was a kid when I accidentally discovered the Garry Shandling show and the quirky humor. I was bummed when it ended, and didn't like the Sanders show as much but I didn't know anyone else who was into his humor as much as I was. I was also raised on LOTS of Tom Petty from my dad. So seeing this... Wow. what an awesome and hilarious pairing.
Tom was Such a Kind Person
I COULD LISTEN TO TOM EVERY DAY. SO LOVEABLE 🚶♂️
I saw that episode • Quiet Down Cow Poke • Never get tired of watching this •
What an amazing conversation. Thank you
So sad to see Tom still smoking at such a late stage in his life. Miss both these guys. Both died at age 66 a little over a year apart 😢
Just came upon this. Makes you sad, but happy at the same time.
great conversation😎🎶👍love it
Tom petty Mary jane
Thanks for sharing this
So missed but Never Forgotten !!💕💕💙💜✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
That Neve board is very likely an 80 Series probably 8068 model, Transistor early 1970's made in England - sound fully amazing
I was on the floor laughing when gary asked tom if he uses tubes. tom just laughs and says yeah... gary was the best
Two untimely deaths here! Brutally sad both of these talented men are gone.
LUCKY said he was LUCKY !!! loved tom petty's music you liked one song you pretty much liked them all i wont back down running down a dream list goes on GARRY i used to watch the larry sanders show all the time garry and rip torn the shame about it all is pretty much all the good ones are gone people like TOM and GARRY are missed in this day and time!!
The beauty of true friends... Hopefully, everyone gets to experience gets this kind of friendship. Where doesn't matter if you haven't seen each other in years, the conversation and feeling hasn't skipped a beat. As if there was no time apart. Everything just flows naturally. So cool. May they meet again...
Damn.... both are gone. Glad we have this.
Two greats and they’re together again . RIP 🌹
My band recorded our one and only album on a Neve Board.
What a beautiful little moment in space and time. 🪷
I don't think I can describe exactly how I feel having watched it. I'm now 61& a half. I was a fan of both these guys. they both died way too young, and now I find this video I didn't know existed where they share real feelings (despite 3 cameras). I felt exactly the same about both their deaths .now? so soon? it makes me even happier though, that I finally visited my uncle yesterday ,who I have only seen recently at the funerals of 2 of his sons(my first cousins) in the recent past ,about 2 yrs time .he's lost 4 sons in all. (a family of 14 kids in 2 marriages)he turns 89 in Dec. and he looks great! (not a smoker) .my Dad, his brother, a retired firefighter ,died suddenly at 65 . I've been at the point where I fear I could go before him, and not see him ONCE socially .we really don't know what that next day on the calendar will bring .I was very entertained by this, but it will now be a constant reminder of just how short life can be. always seeing Petty playing & singing, I really didn't know how much he smoked.
Tom died of drug toxicity which caused organ failure.

"Life is short. But not short enough," GS. I don't know why, but it makes perfect sense.
