Petty was honest and he didn't mince words. What I like best about him was he realized the importance of his fans. He wanted his concerts to be affordable and that is a far cry from the current musical landscape. Now you have artists charging 300 or more for the cheap seats and I think that is criminal.
Surprised he didn't go corporate greedo like so many others today. Greed is doing ugly things to America. Sad to see. Talented professional musician. Appreciate his music.
Tom was about as real as they come. His words and music reflected life warts and all and I am thankful that he shared it all with his fans. His passing has left a void and he is greatly missed!! RIP, Tom@!
Still not understanding why he wasn't taken straight to the hospital right after his last show. I saw him in May at Hunter Mountain NY and I gasped when he came out. He looked plastered. If his hip was so bad he had to be that plastered to work that tells me he needed medical attention for that hip now. Great show but I could've waited till he got better. Now we don't have him at all.
I'm happy hearing about the friendship between Tom Petty and George Harrison. Two favorites, singing in the celestial band. They have a lot of company.
Born Floridian, moved all over, started earnestly loving rock &roll in 3rd grade. We would hear about Tom or the Allman’s and more before the curve. They were just on their way and it was like magic. Tom was down to earth and true to him self until the end. That’s what made him special. I had my ticket for that last show but had a shoulder scheduled for replacement. It was a significant drive and I was solo. On the day of the show I opted not to go for the safety of other drivers. I’ll catch the next one I reasoned. And he was gone. I felt loss like he was a family member. He had been a part of my musical world since I was 10 or 11. There will never be another quite like Tom. 🙏🏻❤️
I'm with ya Joy. I lived in Gainesville for 10 years, 83-93. I saw him once at a sonny's bbq out by the airport, saw him several times in concert both there and in Atlanta later before his passing. The last shows I saw were the best, he just seemed to get better and better and I gotta say it really moved me because the music was just better than anything, and a lot of concerts are just not like that. Everyone was in peace and smiling the whole time, pure magic. I've read books about his life and it was just insane with his old man. I'm sorry you missed that last show, breaks my heart. When he passed I wrote the only song I've ever written and it just came to me out of nowhere, a tribute to him and my time in Gainesville as a young clueless man-child trying to find my way on my own and learning everything the hard way. It's probably up still at my place here but not many folks saw it and I've not put up any content in a long time now. Check it out if ya get time, ya might enjoy it. Take good care out there friend and I gotta say too that I am needing an ocean fix badly! I was always surfing down there so yea, waves crashing, 441, Dubs (the bar he played his 1st real gig at I believe), oh boy the memories!
@@TheBlackSheepDiaries Thanks for your kind words. Glad you got to see him often - and yet envy you, lol. Dude we’re kindred spirits! I have been gone from Florida a long time, yet I swear I feel the pull of the Gulf ,Spanish moss , cattails, probably monthly. If you follow any You Tube channels related to Florida it’s a whole ‘nother place, certainly for me ( I’m a bit older). But what I would give to sit and watch those glistening, waves once more.

There are a lot of excellent artist out there but in my opinion, there is only one TOM PETTY!!! He was unique in his talents!! In fact, I was working in the Middle East and I introduced his music to a lot of foreigners from different countries. They loved his music!!! I returned to the US for vacation and went to see his last tour in Dallas Tx. I brought a friend with me and he stated, that this was the best concert that he had ever attended! I bought his T-shirt and had it framed and made one of my bedrooms into My Tom Petty Room!!! Haaaaaa. He was amazing and I truly miss the best artist in the world!!!
Tom Petty is now remains Rock N Roll music legend for so honestly & selflessly sharing his struggles, lessons he learned & true spirit was learned through all his amazing songs. Loved his music style & sound. So sorry I never got to see him perform in concert RIP Tom❤

@@Vintage.ShowTV Tom's fans assuredly do; there's a wealth of documentation from the Zane bio to Conversations with Tom Petty by Paul Zollo, to the Runnin Down a Dream film bio, to the 2 hour long 2014 interview with Jian Ghomeshi on the CBC to articles in Rollin Stone to stuff popping up because it's youtube to Stevie's interviews to etc. etc. .... but you did a good job!!!

After he died the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences used Tom’s song, “Room at the Top for their “In Memoriam” segment but didn’t bother to acknowledge him as an actor we’d lost that year.
Great Video about Mr. Petty. Having had a total hip replacement with a top hip replacement surgery and knowing exactly what it entails, I feel rather sad and upset that T.P. did NOT have the surgery. Within 10 days of my surgery I was released to drive short distances. However, I suffered pain on and off for approx 4 years as I was afraid of having the surgery. I think perhaps, he was afraid as well Such a great musician and human. His music gave joy and smiles to millions of us. He is missed.
It was LP's not CD's yet. The rest of this is good. And he thrust his hand into the wall. Ouch! A long, long recovery. The doc said, "You'll never play guitar again." F&$$ You doc! And he worked his gnarled hand back to functionality and continued his career. Amen.
You are correct though the record companies pulled the same thing with cds. Even though it reduced the manufacturing cost to near zero they jacked up the price to @ 20$. This time Pearl Jam went to war with their record company over it. Funny that MCA pulled this with Petty. Every time I hear Working For MCA by Leonard Skinnard I think of the bs they put all their bands through.
I was able to see Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers in concert right before he passed away. It was one of the best shows I had ever been to. Absolutely Amazing! I knew every song❤ He will be greatly missed!!!
Last show in Columbus Ohio 2017. I posted on the Tour website about Tom calling Columbus the fast-food capital of Ohio and asking him to change the setlist. Tom spoke about it on stage. A song or two before the encore, TP played 3 Traveling Wilbury songs. Tom also gave a short speech when he got on stage about his choices for "his" setlist. Was a great show even though it being my first and last.
these were nicely done, known to us hardcore fans! but fun to see again. But again, the issue of smoking keeps getting ignored. He had two major heart diseases from it, and such a large and long habit desiccates bones, his fall in his house that hurt his hip became a significant fracture. His longtime manager said don't tour, others too, but as his wife Dana said later, "he was a stubborn man." What a talent, what a good guy, wish he was still putting out LPs and doing tours.
My take on the whole Confederate Flag issue is this..in my heart I was born a rebel.. same as the music I hear from blacks calling each other “nigga” I identify with music calling me a “rebel”..I wear it proudly and I will never back down from it due to some political correctness bullsht.
Petty was KING! He was so down to earth. A lot like me. He just wanted to stay home and make art and drink coffee. He was also good friends with Stevie Nicks. I’d cut an arm off to chill with Stevie for an hour.
Each and every album was another chapter in his life ... Each having its own theme! And every new song to each album he had its own style and rhythm all to sound similar to that particular album
Many Fans are not aware when Tom was a kid his favorite cousin was Sadie Darnell who was the Sheriff of Alachua County Florida, County of Gainesville Fl. There mothers were close sister’s. Elvis Presley came to Ocala Florida, a city about 38 miles South of Gainesville. Tom and Sadie got driven to see Elvis Presley in person when they were young Teen’s.
@@Vintage.ShowTV I provided the information so you can Google it. I’m from the area Tom Grew up. Over the years there’s been a few editorials regarding Tom and His Cousin Saddie Darnell coming to Ocala to see Elvis. Plus the Fact Saddle became Sheriff of Alachua County FL. I’m at the Ocala WaWa right now as I reply to your inquiry. It’s solid info and would be great to see as part of your great work. Thanks for all your effort, fantastic content. Tom…
The bulk of his best songs weren’t even written yet so that couldn’t be possible. Also Tom petty and the band is on the record on this and none of them agree w/ you either.
I saw Petty in Gainsville, FL opening for Linda Ronstadt. I was there for Linda, but he really impressed me. Travelling Wilburys will live in history as monumental.
It's always honorable when an individual sticks to whatever they feel is right no matter what others think or like, the one marriage that is for life is HEROIN, "when you're married to H you're married for life" It has been said, and with life comes death, they are inseparable..
Tom was a few years older than me, but we had a lot of the same rock influences growing up. Through his Buried Treasure Show years later on SiriusXM I realized that his interests were far more diverse than my own. I began to appreciate many of the songs that I also listened to on the radio as a kid, but wrote off as just radio filler. I still listen to the replays of that show today and it makes me happy, and sad that he's not still here to do it. The Tom Petty channel on SXM is still my go to whenever I'm driving. Along with the Beatles, I can't think of any music I go to EVERY time to feel something, even though I've heard it hundreds (thousands?) of times already. It's not surprising that he had such a connection with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynn and Roy Orbison...innovators all. He's one of the very very few artists that kept putting out brilliant music throughout a very long career, never settling for the same old thing and always trying new things. RIP Tom🙏 and thanks for leaving us with so much magic. BTW whenever I hear 80,000 people spontaneously singing I Won't Back Down in his home town (which started right after he passed), at every Florida Gator football game, it makes me think he's humbly smiling.
Tom petty and Neil young made it cool to use cannabis and play guitar and get lost in the music. Neil young told Dan rather…” I don’t do any drugs any more, I just smoke grass”. Willie Nelson also helped to erase the stereotype of using cannabis
The travelling wilburys, were a thing,.. at the time...made people happy..(funny, i can almost, smell, or taste it..its hard to describe?). There was a cool wilbury guitar (danelectro type of thing.?).
My daughter took us to see him in kc mo june 2 2017. I have been a big fan since i first heard refugee and dont do me like that on the jukebox in the little cafe i waited tables in. I was 16.
I'm liking Tom Petty more and more! Don Henley needs to follow suit instead of suing everybody for copyright infringements! Petty loved his fans! Him and Kid Rock kept prices for their shows at a reasonable price for the fans! UNLIKE Springsteen and Don Henley!
What I remember about the story on the price of his album going up was that he took a knife and stabbed it into the desk of the CEO or someone in authority of the record company
Saw him in the 90's when he came out with" you dont know how it feels." People sat down for half the concert, stood up for his "decent" songs. It was crazy. People smoked weed non stop. Honestly, he couldn't sing. It was torture
And the most beautiful untold fact about Tom Petty you didn’t include. Tom Petty was given Catholic last rites as he was on life support. He died in friendship with God. Saved. Google it, it’s true. That’s the most wonderful thing people don’t know. YEAH !!! We’ll hear TOM SING AGAIN.
@@marke8323 Tom Petty acknowledged God at every concert, At the end he always said God Bless You, in fact those were last words to his fans. He died with God ! And God acknowledged him.
@@waldograde did you ask to be born ? Tom Petty sang for decades in the song….free fallin….shes a good girl, she loves her mama and loves Jesus too. Be happy for Tom.
@@bluebear107 Nahhhh. I saw Tom late in life, having missed him in 1970’s at Winterland. Roll forward a few decades and I saw him at MSG where he killed.
Oh darling, Tom's Hard Promises hard stand on pricing had absolutely nothing to do with "CDs". There was no such thing at the time. Vinyl baby. Albums. LPs. No compact discs in 1981. (Plus, if memory serves, Petty balked at MCA's $8.99 price point. Tom put his foot down and insisted on keeping the ALBUM price at the standard $7.99 max.) Fugger was the absolute epitomy of a real rock star. Petty was an original in every way. He always felt more "one of us" than any other rock legend. He is so sorely missed. 🤘💔❤️🔥🖤
@@Vintage.ShowTV I have fond memories of waiting for this LP to come out, and spending many months listening to it daily, while singing along with the lyric sheet. 11th grade. The songs still don't sound at all dated. Incredible record. 🤘⭐
Oh, Okay, I thought you were going to say that he was really black. I loved his vocal stylings. And he was born in Gville as we call it, I found out. I didn't know that. Thanks for the video.
You cannot make assumptions like that it's not cool and he can't speak for himself. According to his wife Dana he was scheduled for surgery when he died, 2 days after playing the Hollywood Bowl as end of the tour and when he quit his year long bout of heroin he deliberately booked himself into a private clinic to be put into a coma and given opiate antagonists (don't remember name) to speed up the recovery process so he could regain his life. This latter piece of information is in the Zane bio which is nothing if not authorized. It sounds like you're in recovery, that is fantastic, and best best wishes.
The whole Opiate Medicine bit, is greatly hyped up, factual well proven to be negative lies they tell the masses/public all to do the evils they do to we citizens who they of the System view us as expendable to use, abuse, torture, and slaughter either quick or real slow for decades, also using exaggerations & twisting information, never telling the actual for real Truth about Opiate Medicine/Morphine Medicine, and the Opioid man made derivative of Opiate Plant Medicine- the closest working to Opiate Medicine I believe is Opioid OxyContin Medicine, as they do NOT want the masses to know the actual Truth about the Opiate/Morphine plant Medicine from the Papaver Somniferum Plant. As it would put a big stumbling block into the evils they already have done for decades- a whole Century known about they have done- unto we Severe Chronic Pain Illness people to make us just suffer daily, constant, Life ruining Pain for decades until death- for no Life to be for us. As the System which Rules us makes mega bucks with their ILLEGAL STREET DRUG BUSINESS, while they torture-torment us people with Severe Chronic Pain Illnesses that nothing else works for, nothing further can be Medically done (yes I do know what strapped to a table real torture Pain feels like- so I rightfully use the words as I know there are a number of ways this System can torture-torment we people/peasants of this lower Ruled North America Sect of land & people by the System) (Severe Chronic Pain illnesses caused by diseases, illnesses, also from severe injuries- for some of us severe injuries all due to the illegal wrongs, proven by STATE POLICE with sound facts & tests, of strangers/company- that cause deaths, and severe injuries that ruin our Lives- having never ending Life destroying Pain, but such illegal companies & their workers are protected, NOT we the people/peasants of North America. I know for a first hand well proven fact- beyond words- this Ruling System negatively lies about Opiate Medicine, so they can do their inhumane demonic evils unto we people/peasants they target- as it has already been well proven, and I know they do such to keep their System making the big money they make- and do NOT care about sacrificing thousands of us Severe Chronic Pain Illness people/peasants- to keep their evil on good roll as it knowingly has been for a Century, possibly far longer. But when their System makes billions, if not trillions of dollars from their illegal street drugs, business clear across most lands & people worth making money, they don't care one measly bit about having to make us people with Severe Chronic Pain Illnesses suffer daily, constant, Life ruining Pain for decades until death- for no Life to be until death, because they who Rule us are also Luciferians, they have to be- to do what inhumane evil they do, and the proven negative lies they also use to do the evil unto we citizens/peasants of this North America Ruled Land by their System (of course it would be lies, just like their boss/king/god Lucifer does, and first did long before the great flood). What I could tell you, oh there is much more- some people know way beyond what I know about this evil System. But they most likely won't even allow this, as there is no real CONSTITUTION, just as there is no real 1ST AMENDMENT, and the System is striving to infringe destroy what's left of our once complete, great, "shall NOT be infringed" 2ND AMENDMENT CONSTITUTIONAL Right to Arms- being of course so the Members of the System can then very easily make all of we people/peasants of this North America Sect of land & people- to be a gun-less, powerless, defenseless, helpless, hopeless, completely doomed- then ever easy to subjugate people- they can then very easily repress, control, threaten, maim, pillage, rake, torture, slave, slaughter, or do any other evil they so care to use, unto whoever of us peasants of North America they want to target, and do whatever evil they want unto us, needing absolutely no reason to do such evil unto us- as we will then be a completely powerless people with NO internal defense or protection, as their is NO Military of any land or people, even North America's GREAT MILITARY SERVICES do NOT internally defend or protect we the people/peasants of this North America Ruled Sect of land & people- i.e. being the System's lower Sect of Ruled land & people of North America (where MEXICO & UNITED STATES Countries once Truly existed- also why they disregard any MEXICO & UNITED STATES border [ land where MEXICO use to be- the System has their Drug Cartels Ruling in that area of their lower Sect of Rule here on North America Land ]- as to the System it is all their lower Ruled Sect of land & people where MEXICO & UNITED STATES are said to have once Truly existed until abducted by the System (actually the biggest con & lie committed since long before the great flood), just like their upper Ruled North America Sect of land & people is where the Country CANADA use to be. North America Land, where all the three Real, Great, True, Countries use to exist, until they were abducted by the System: Communist-Nazi-Fascist Luciferian League/Club/System of Evil Sects Rule. Just like their other fellow Club Members for the System, who also Rule other Sects of land & people all for the System- clear across all of this here they believe is their entire System's upper-made-level-of-hell-by-the-System- the System whose boss/king/god is Lucifer/Beelzebub/Satan. This all started for me when 18 years old, 44+ years ago, and they have wanted me to commit suicide since long ago, or to purchase their deadly street drugs- they make money, and know there will always be new drug addicts to take the place of those who die from such deadly street drugs (PHARMACEUTICAL OPIATE MEDICINE, or OPIOID OXYCONTIN MEDICINE, used correctly, responsibly we Severe Chronic Pain Illness people/peasants do NOT have one measly problem, but the System knows this, and keeps it from us- so we will suffer daily, constant as I type Life ruining Pain for decades until death for no Life- as we are Ruled by Luciferian evil doing Members of the System: Communist-Nazi-Fascist Luciferian League/Club/System of Evil Sect Rule. Just like their other fellow Club Members for the System, who also Rule other Sects of land & people for the System- i.e. Lucifer/Beelzebub/Satan- their boss/king/god. Here being their upper-made-level-of-hell-by-the-System/earth. *BEWARE-* this System may target you next also- this very day, hopefully yourself NOT already targeted, as they target a percentage of us people they can get away with for now, with plans for their One World Rule, One World Order- all for the System, where they then can target multitudes, with far more evils- I am sure they have some doozies of evil all ready, and set to go! Once their System is Ruling all out in the open, as they already Rule behind the lines- this hell they Rule- being all here of their System's earth/upper-made-level-of-hell-by-the-System. Evil. (4-)
They do NOT want the masses to know that Opiate Medicine, and Opioid OxyContin Medicine is an actual G-D Send, Miracle Working, Life Saving, Life Giving, Medicine for a lot of types of Severe Chronic Pain illnesses, yes Opiate Medicine, and Opioid OxyContin Medicine does not work for every type of Severe Chronic Pain illness, but is absolutely NO reason to keep from us Severe Chronic Pain illness people for whom Opiate Medicine, and Opioid OxyContin Medicine does work to ease our Pain at a working level dosage it keeps on working, IT DOES NOT CHANGE- but they do NOT want the masses everywhere to know about this TRUTH! So they can keep doing their inhumane evil. A working level dosage for a person this Opiate Medicine, and Opioid OxyContin Medicine works for their type of Severe Chronic Pain Illness- yes the working dosage keeps on working even though the high/buzz feeling went away years ago. But AGAIN THEY DO NOT WANT PEOPLE/THE-PUBLIC- TO KNOW THIS TRUTH, as we are Ruled by True evil, who do evil unto we people they view us as expendable peasants- to use, abuse, torture-torment, even eliminate if they feel like doing such for even no reason needed whatsoever.
Petty arguably the finest to exist in the industry there were very many awesome dudes but tom was special. His honesty sincerity & understanding set him apart. He truly loved his fans & loved sharing the stage with other musicians. I once saw Kravitz open for him & the heartbreakers. It was one of the most amazing musical experiences i have ever witnessed. He will always be missed his death was tragic & unexpected. Rest eternally TP God bless🙏
I'm not a Trump fan, but it's ironic that you clearly don't understand that the " progressive" left under Biden are much closer to being politically fascist, as is the longer term uniparty agenda.Most Americans sling around political terms they don't really understand.
Wow! He’s my #1 on Sirius radio! Are you kidding, Swingin, Last Dance with Mary Jane, American Girl, Free Fallin, Stop Draggin my Heart Around, Don’t do Me Like That, Refugee, Wildflowers and so many more… and the hits of The Traveling Wilburys. Tom Petty, a Great American Southern Rocker and Song Writer.
Petty was honest and he didn't mince words. What I like best about him was he realized the importance of his fans. He wanted his concerts to be affordable and that is a far cry from the current musical landscape. Now you have artists charging 300 or more for the cheap seats and I think that is criminal.

It was LP's not CD's yet. The rest of this is good. And he thrust his hand into the wall. Ouch! A long, long recovery. The doc said, "You'll never play guitar again." F&$$ You doc! And he worked his gnarled hand back to functionality and continued his career. Amen.
You are correct though the record companies pulled the same thing with cds. Even though it reduced the manufacturing cost to near zero they jacked up the price to @ 20$. This time Pearl Jam went to war with their record company over it. Funny that MCA pulled this with Petty. Every time I hear Working For MCA by Leonard Skinnard I think of the bs they put all their bands through.
I was able to see Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers in concert right before he passed away. It was one of the best shows I had ever been to. Absolutely Amazing! I knew every song❤
He will be greatly missed!!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂
😢 I did too and it was fabulous
Last show in Columbus Ohio 2017. I posted on the Tour website about Tom calling Columbus the fast-food capital of Ohio and asking him to change the setlist. Tom spoke about it on stage. A song or two before the encore, TP played 3 Traveling Wilbury songs. Tom also gave a short speech when he got on stage about his choices for "his" setlist. Was a great show even though it being my first and last.
I seen him at the Hollywood Bowl right before he died. Last song was American Girl. Thanks for the great music. Miss ya
Tom Petty in one word....FEARLESS....Nothing scared him, nothing stopped him.
these were nicely done, known to us hardcore fans! but fun to see again. But again, the issue of smoking keeps getting ignored. He had two major heart diseases from it, and such a large and long habit desiccates bones, his fall in his house that hurt his hip became a significant fracture. His longtime manager said don't tour, others too, but as his wife Dana said later, "he was a stubborn man." What a talent, what a good guy, wish he was still putting out LPs and doing tours.
We never missed a concert except for his last😭
Our girls grew up with his songs
Bad case of the flu kept us home and I will always regret that🥺
I miss him
My take on the whole Confederate Flag issue is this..in my heart I was born a rebel.. same as the music I hear from blacks calling each other “nigga” I identify with music calling me a “rebel”..I wear it proudly and I will never back down from it due to some political correctness bullsht.
What a honest guy others musicians fight because someone use some words in a song and sued, like he said it was a honest mistake God bless him
Petty was KING! He was so down to earth. A lot like me. He just wanted to stay home and make art and drink coffee. He was also good friends with Stevie Nicks. I’d cut an arm off to chill with Stevie for an hour.
Stevie wanted Tom to leave his wife for her and he wouldn’t… smart move
Rebel is wonderful. A lot of us considered Rebel to be about freedom
Love people that's truthful
Have always loved his music,he was real 👍👍
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂
Love this
I did not know petty played on king of the hill, super cool
Thanks for sharing
Each and every album was another chapter in his life ...
Each having its own theme!
And every new song to each album he had its own style and rhythm all to sound similar to that particular album
The postman is one of my favorite movies
Thanks for sharing yoour thoughts 🙂
Many Fans are not aware when Tom was a kid his favorite cousin was Sadie Darnell who was the Sheriff of Alachua County Florida, County of Gainesville Fl.
There mothers were close sister’s.
Elvis Presley came to Ocala Florida, a city about 38 miles South of Gainesville.
Tom and Sadie got driven to see Elvis Presley in person when they were young Teen’s.
How do you know?
@@Vintage.ShowTV I provided the information so you can Google it.
I’m from the area Tom Grew up.
Over the years there’s been a few editorials regarding Tom and His Cousin Saddie Darnell coming to Ocala to see Elvis.
Plus the Fact Saddle became Sheriff of Alachua County FL.
I’m at the Ocala WaWa right now as I reply to your inquiry.
It’s solid info and would be great to see as part of your great work.
Thanks for all your effort, fantastic content.
Tom…
Now the man is a real gem in an other wise sad shortage of genuine people god bless u Tom rip

Tom Petty Did Not Suffer Fools.’
A remarkable man, A remarkable talent, gone too soon, RIP Tom..
I heard his cousin was Dwight Yoakam. There definitely is a resemblance.
This was so good.
I miss Tom Petty.😇💕
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂
You have to admit his Pack Up The Plantation Tour 1985 was his best.
The bulk of his best songs weren’t even written yet so that couldn’t be possible. Also Tom petty and the band is on the record on this and none of them agree w/ you either.
I saw Petty in Gainsville, FL opening for Linda Ronstadt. I was there for Linda, but he really impressed me. Travelling Wilburys will live in history as monumental.
Cool!
RIP Tom, you are the best.
I wish this beautiful man just went to the hospital 😢❤
Yes
I couldn’t finish this. The music was just too much. Thank you.
Sorry about that
Very informative...Thank you!!
It's always honorable when an individual sticks to whatever they feel is right no matter what others think or like, the one marriage that is for life is HEROIN, "when you're married to H you're married for life" It has been said, and with life comes death, they are inseparable..
Tom was a few years older than me, but we had a lot of the same rock influences growing up. Through his Buried Treasure Show years later on SiriusXM I realized that his interests were far more diverse than my own. I began to appreciate many of the songs that I also listened to on the radio as a kid, but wrote off as just radio filler. I still listen to the replays of that show today and it makes me happy, and sad that he's not still here to do it. The Tom Petty channel on SXM is still my go to whenever I'm driving. Along with the Beatles, I can't think of any music I go to EVERY time to feel something, even though I've heard it hundreds (thousands?) of times already. It's not surprising that he had such a connection with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynn and Roy Orbison...innovators all. He's one of the very very few artists that kept putting out brilliant music throughout a very long career, never settling for the same old thing and always trying new things. RIP Tom🙏 and thanks for leaving us with so much magic.
BTW whenever I hear 80,000 people spontaneously singing I Won't Back Down in his home town (which started right after he passed), at every Florida Gator football game, it makes me think he's humbly smiling.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂
Tom petty and Neil young made it cool to use cannabis and play guitar and get lost in the music. Neil young told Dan rather…” I don’t do any drugs any more, I just smoke grass”. Willie Nelson also helped to erase the stereotype of using cannabis
Great video, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I love and miss Tom Petty❤
rip tom you rocked stevo
Wow , what a life , love his music , specially Refugee .
The travelling wilburys, were a thing,.. at the time...made people happy..(funny, i can almost, smell, or taste it..its hard to describe?). There was a cool wilbury guitar (danelectro type of thing.?).
Saw him in 94, first time I done mushrooms, outdoor venue in LA, great show
Hardly anyone at the concert, outside at Gainsville, FL(Gators) I drove from Tampa to see Ronstadt. I was 6 ft away from him and Linda. Awesome.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂
My daughter took us to see him in kc mo june 2 2017. I have been a big fan since i first heard refugee and dont do me like that on the jukebox in the little cafe i waited tables in. I was 16.
yeh i saw the pain..+touring !das a long hard road..so underated'no one eva sang/hada voice like Tom'shine-on tom'*
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂
I miss Tom Petty
Well. Willie Nelson got the weed affect too..
“The Petty” 🤙🏼 RIP🕊
I'm liking Tom Petty more and more! Don Henley needs to follow suit instead of suing everybody for copyright infringements! Petty loved his fans! Him and Kid Rock kept prices for their shows at a reasonable price for the fans! UNLIKE Springsteen and Don Henley!
Tom Petty = Integrity
When Felder first met him he loved his hair cause Felder had curly hair.
Just an all over nice guy... like Johnny Depp... It is how it is... nobody is perfect...but we must try...
What I remember about the story on the price of his album going up was that he took a knife and stabbed it into the desk of the CEO or someone in authority of the record company
Saw him in the 90's when he came out with" you dont know how it feels." People sat down for half the concert, stood up for his "decent" songs. It was crazy. People smoked weed non stop. Honestly, he couldn't sing. It was torture
And the most beautiful untold fact about Tom Petty you didn’t include. Tom Petty was given Catholic last rites as he was on life support. He died in friendship with God. Saved. Google it, it’s true. That’s the most wonderful thing people don’t know. YEAH !!! We’ll hear TOM SING AGAIN.
He died unconscious, it didn't matter if someone else sacrificed a Chicken or any other ritual, he didn't ask for it...
@@marke8323 Tom Petty acknowledged God at every concert, At the end he always said God Bless You, in fact those were last words to his fans. He died with God ! And God acknowledged him.
@@marke8323True that.
@@waldograde did you ask to be born ? Tom Petty sang for decades in the song….free fallin….shes a good girl, she loves her mama and loves Jesus too. Be happy for Tom.
@@bluebear107 Nahhhh. I saw Tom late in life, having missed him in 1970’s at Winterland. Roll forward a few decades and I saw him at MSG where he killed.
Oh darling, Tom's Hard Promises hard stand on pricing had absolutely nothing to do with "CDs". There was no such thing at the time. Vinyl baby. Albums. LPs. No compact discs in 1981.
(Plus, if memory serves, Petty balked at MCA's $8.99 price point. Tom put his foot down and insisted on keeping the ALBUM price at the standard $7.99 max.)
Fugger was the absolute epitomy of a real rock star. Petty was an original in every way. He always felt more "one of us" than any other rock legend. He is so sorely missed. 🤘💔❤️🔥🖤
Thanks for sharing 😊
@@Vintage.ShowTV I have fond memories of waiting for this LP to come out, and spending many months listening to it daily, while singing along with the lyric sheet. 11th grade. The songs still don't sound at all dated.
Incredible record. 🤘⭐
Horrid AI voice, filthy background music. Couldn't listen. I put it on mute. Most already know the content!
Oh, Okay, I thought you were going to say that he was really black. I loved his vocal stylings. And he was born in Gville as we call it, I found out. I didn't know that. Thanks for the video.
pleasure... Thanks for sharing
I can't listen to computer voices. They have no life to them.
I was 13 watching the beatles on ed sullivan too
And had an abusive stepfather who was a violent drunk.
“2 peas in a Rock ‘n’ Roll pod…”
He didn't get the hip replaced because then he wouldn't have a reason to take pain medication.I went down that same road.
Thanks for sharing
You cannot make assumptions like that it's not cool and he can't speak for himself. According to his wife Dana he was scheduled for surgery when he died, 2 days after playing the Hollywood Bowl as end of the tour and when he quit his year long bout of heroin he deliberately booked himself into a private clinic to be put into a coma and given opiate antagonists (don't remember name) to speed up the recovery process so he could regain his life. This latter piece of information is in the Zane bio which is nothing if not authorized. It sounds like you're in recovery, that is fantastic, and best best wishes.
@@EvelynBaron A nods as good as a wink to a blind horse.
The whole Opiate Medicine bit, is greatly hyped up, factual well proven to be negative lies they tell the masses/public all to do the evils they do to we citizens who they of the System view us as expendable to use, abuse, torture, and slaughter either quick or real slow for decades, also using exaggerations & twisting information, never telling the actual for real Truth about Opiate Medicine/Morphine Medicine, and the Opioid man made derivative of Opiate Plant Medicine- the closest working to Opiate Medicine I believe is Opioid OxyContin Medicine, as they do NOT want the masses to know the actual Truth about the Opiate/Morphine plant Medicine from the Papaver Somniferum Plant. As it would put a big stumbling block into the evils they already have done for decades- a whole Century known about they have done- unto we Severe Chronic Pain Illness people to make us just suffer daily, constant, Life ruining Pain for decades until death- for no Life to be for us. As the System which Rules us makes mega bucks with their ILLEGAL STREET DRUG BUSINESS, while they torture-torment us people with Severe Chronic Pain Illnesses that nothing else works for, nothing further can be Medically done (yes I do know what strapped to a table real torture Pain feels like- so I rightfully use the words as I know there are a number of ways this System can torture-torment we people/peasants of this lower Ruled North America Sect of land & people by the System) (Severe Chronic Pain illnesses caused by diseases, illnesses, also from severe injuries- for some of us severe injuries all due to the illegal wrongs, proven by STATE POLICE with sound facts & tests, of strangers/company- that cause deaths, and severe injuries that ruin our Lives- having never ending Life destroying Pain, but such illegal companies & their workers are protected, NOT we the people/peasants of North America.
I know for a first hand well proven fact- beyond words- this Ruling System negatively lies about Opiate Medicine, so they can do their inhumane demonic evils unto we people/peasants they target- as it has already been well proven, and I know they do such to keep their System making the big money they make- and do NOT care about sacrificing thousands of us Severe Chronic Pain Illness people/peasants- to keep their evil on good roll as it knowingly has been for a Century, possibly far longer. But when their System makes billions, if not trillions of dollars from their illegal street drugs, business clear across most lands & people worth making money, they don't care one measly bit about having to make us people with Severe Chronic Pain Illnesses suffer daily, constant, Life ruining Pain for decades until death- for no Life to be until death, because they who Rule us are also Luciferians, they have to be- to do what inhumane evil they do, and the proven negative lies they also use to do the evil unto we citizens/peasants of this North America Ruled Land by their System (of course it would be lies, just like their boss/king/god Lucifer does, and first did long before the great flood). What I could tell you, oh there is much more- some people know way beyond what I know about this evil System. But they most likely won't even allow this, as there is no real CONSTITUTION, just as there is no real 1ST AMENDMENT, and the System is striving to infringe destroy what's left of our once complete, great, "shall NOT be infringed" 2ND AMENDMENT CONSTITUTIONAL Right to Arms- being of course so the Members of the System can then very easily make all of we people/peasants of this North America Sect of land & people- to be a gun-less, powerless, defenseless, helpless, hopeless, completely doomed- then ever easy to subjugate people- they can then very easily repress, control, threaten, maim, pillage, rake, torture, slave, slaughter, or do any other evil they so care to use, unto whoever of us peasants of North America they want to target, and do whatever evil they want unto us, needing absolutely no reason to do such evil unto us- as we will then be a completely powerless people with NO internal defense or protection, as their is NO Military of any land or people, even North America's GREAT MILITARY SERVICES do NOT internally defend or protect we the people/peasants of this North America Ruled Sect of land & people- i.e. being the System's lower Sect of Ruled land & people of North America (where MEXICO & UNITED STATES Countries once Truly existed- also why they disregard any MEXICO & UNITED STATES border [ land where MEXICO use to be- the System has their Drug Cartels Ruling in that area of their lower Sect of Rule here on North America Land ]- as to the System it is all their lower Ruled Sect of land & people where MEXICO & UNITED STATES are said to have once Truly existed until abducted by the System (actually the biggest con & lie committed since long before the great flood), just like their upper Ruled North America Sect of land & people is where the Country CANADA use to be.
North America Land, where all the three Real, Great, True, Countries use to exist, until they were abducted by the System: Communist-Nazi-Fascist Luciferian League/Club/System of Evil Sects Rule. Just like their other fellow Club Members for the System, who also Rule other Sects of land & people all for the System- clear across all of this here they believe is their entire System's upper-made-level-of-hell-by-the-System- the System whose boss/king/god is Lucifer/Beelzebub/Satan.
This all started for me when 18 years old, 44+ years ago, and they have wanted me to commit suicide since long ago, or to purchase their deadly street drugs- they make money, and know there will always be new drug addicts to take the place of those who die from such deadly street drugs (PHARMACEUTICAL OPIATE MEDICINE, or OPIOID OXYCONTIN MEDICINE, used correctly, responsibly we Severe Chronic Pain Illness people/peasants do NOT have one measly problem, but the System knows this, and keeps it from us- so we will suffer daily, constant as I type Life ruining Pain for decades until death for no Life- as we are Ruled by Luciferian evil doing Members of the System: Communist-Nazi-Fascist Luciferian League/Club/System of Evil Sect Rule. Just like their other fellow Club Members for the System, who also Rule other Sects of land & people for the System- i.e. Lucifer/Beelzebub/Satan- their boss/king/god. Here being their upper-made-level-of-hell-by-the-System/earth.
*BEWARE-* this System may target you next also- this very day, hopefully yourself NOT already targeted, as they target a percentage of us people they can get away with for now, with plans for their One World Rule, One World Order- all for the System, where they then can target multitudes, with far more evils- I am sure they have some doozies of evil all ready, and set to go! Once their System is Ruling all out in the open, as they already Rule behind the lines- this hell they Rule- being all here of their System's earth/upper-made-level-of-hell-by-the-System. Evil.
(4-)
They do NOT want the masses to know that Opiate Medicine, and Opioid OxyContin Medicine is an actual G-D Send, Miracle Working, Life Saving, Life Giving, Medicine for a lot of types of Severe Chronic Pain illnesses, yes Opiate Medicine, and Opioid OxyContin Medicine does not work for every type of Severe Chronic Pain illness, but is absolutely NO reason to keep from us Severe Chronic Pain illness people for whom Opiate Medicine, and Opioid OxyContin Medicine does work to ease our Pain at a working level dosage it keeps on working, IT DOES NOT CHANGE- but they do NOT want the masses everywhere to know about this TRUTH! So they can keep doing their inhumane evil. A working level dosage for a person this Opiate Medicine, and Opioid OxyContin Medicine works for their type of Severe Chronic Pain Illness- yes the working dosage keeps on working even though the high/buzz feeling went away years ago. But AGAIN THEY DO NOT WANT PEOPLE/THE-PUBLIC- TO KNOW THIS TRUTH, as we are Ruled by True evil, who do evil unto we people they view us as expendable peasants- to use, abuse, torture-torment, even eliminate if they feel like doing such for even no reason needed whatsoever.

Petty arguably the finest to exist in the industry there were very many awesome dudes but tom was special. His honesty sincerity & understanding set him apart. He truly loved his fans & loved sharing the stage with other musicians. I once saw Kravitz open for him & the heartbreakers. It was one of the most amazing musical experiences i have ever witnessed. He will always be missed his death was tragic & unexpected. Rest eternally TP God bless🙏
Pretty informative but the writing style and voice verges on the obnoxious.
Sorry about that

Interesting video but spoiled by the totally out of place background music!

Made his Father eat crow on his great encouraging abusive words he gave Tom when he left to pursue career...
he was wrong about the flag and its meaning. 💔 Read HISTORY , its not a gen karen thing.
I like how they stop Trump from using his music at those Nazi rallies
I'm not a Trump fan, but it's ironic that you clearly don't understand that the " progressive" left under Biden are much closer to being politically fascist, as is the longer term uniparty agenda.Most Americans sling around political terms they don't really understand.
WHAT?????????
What?
No need to use the word shocking to get viewership. You people disgust me.
Sorry about that
What about the Lolita Express?
I still would not recognize a Tom Petty song, if I tripped over it. For me, Petty was (is) a rock non-entity. He was/is barely on my radar.
Then why watch and comment on a video about him?
Your loss!!
Wow! He’s my #1 on Sirius radio! Are you kidding, Swingin, Last Dance with Mary Jane, American Girl, Free Fallin, Stop Draggin my Heart Around, Don’t do Me Like That, Refugee, Wildflowers and so many more… and the hits of The Traveling Wilburys. Tom Petty, a Great American Southern Rocker and Song Writer.
So why are you commenting in a chat room about him then? Too much time on your hands?
