I think I like this even more than the original, and this is in my top 3 Petty songs. It's missing those ending harmonies, but the uptempo just flows perfect. RIP you legend, and thank you Donna Rose for sharing, even some 15 years later.
You forgot another line - “Sometimes you’re happy Sometimes you cry half of me is ocean, half of me is sky” I’ve always took that to mean just as the elements have an affect over time, ocean water and powerful rays of the sun will eventually wear out that barricade. That and her big heart - basically they will both bring down each other’s barriers 😊
Honestly...what can ANYONE find not to like about this incredible piece of artistry? The songwriting, the musicianship...all incredible. Tom Petty really was one of the truly great artists of our time, and we were lucky to have him with us in our time. This is music that will stand the test of time.
What Petty does is to make the extraordinary appear simple and the simple extraordinary. "Heart so big it could crush this town." "Smoked cigarettes and stared at the moon." "Long day livin' in Reseda." "Most things I worry about never happen anyway." All seems so off the cuff and easy .. but try doing it yourself.
ocan1033 very well put, indeed. At one time I had mistaken Tom Petty’s brilliance for ordinary, but it is in no way ordinary, it is genius, and absolutely extraordinary
You just made me cry with your beautiful description. Tom was truly a Heartbreaker. Right to the end..... Such a beautiful soul under those soulful eyes.
How professional is Mike Campbell? Mike is usually the co-pilot but he eyes up Benmont Tench on his killer keyboard part to make sure Benmont is the focus...which he certainly is...KILLER! Kudos to Mike Campbell.
I am truly still grieving. A comment came to mind that I saw somewhere a couple of weeks ago ...it said: "Tom, you Heartbreaker, you went and broke our hearts." ♡♡ A huge loss for all fans who loved him. So thankful for the legacy of music Tom left us. You will never be forgotten Tom! ♡
Caroline Baxter Right on. I tear up every time I watch his videos. Dana needs our prayers, folks. It's been over a year now & she's missing him very much! 😢💜
Tom was one of ''those'' people who ''just have IT''.....their soul just seems to be connected to a completely different energy source. I'm not with it enough to figure out what IT is, but I sure do appreciate it when I see/hear IT!!! LOL thank you, Tom. You made millions of peoples' lives so much better.
I wouldn't say he had a beautiful voice. He had a very unique voice and you knew when you heard it, that it was him! He certainly used it to bring his songs to life.
History will tell that it was Mr Tom Petty who wrote the Great American Songbook and folk will say Bob who? Because Tom Petty is and was the real deal.
Unbelievable lyrics on this, and all of Tom’s tunes. RIP to an absolute legend. So missed. Wish I could’ve seen him in concert, but I know I can always find solace in this crazy life by listening to his stuff. And that keyboard solo..magical
@@thetompettyproject I know you know this but it was of the Storytellers series on I think VHS? Pretty girls in a row at the front of the audience and one lovely young woman with her boyfriend totally rapt in the music for its own sake ... 20/20 hindsight not all the bio details exact and who cares? A human being who gave his heart and soul to his music audience amazing band ... to be forever cherished.
I'd be honored if some Petty fans would check out my acoustic keyboard & vocal cover of INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN on my channel in tribute to one of the purest artists that the USA has ever produced. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and keep on rocking. THE LEGEND LIVES ON
AgentUndertaker absolutely AGREE. Damn is right. I used to love Howie’s high harmonies with Tom sooooo much (and still do). But wow, Scott does a freakin’ amazing job.....especially here on this song. Sounds just 👌!!! And Benmont’s keyboards👌. And Mike Campbell playing that...instrument he plays (not sure what it’s officially called?) - it sounds absolutely fantastic. Put it all together with Tom’s unique voice/style and you’ve got true, utter perfection right here. 100%.
This song is particularly poignant to my wife and I at this point in our lives. Tom and the band played it at the Sept. 21st concert at the Hollywood Bowl. I cried at the show and I've shed a lot more tears since Monday. I am completely gutted. Sometimes the world sucks and a lot of times listening to Tom and the band would make it a little more bearable. RIP Tom...you are greatly missed!
How Mike Campbell's talent goes under the radar of a genius musician ,is a total mystery to me .......i.saw the band live a couple of years back.absolutely star studded talent throughout.i I have no doubt his music will be as fresh in 20 years,when one considers what some of today's music measures up too.
I love this version of Walls it's absolutely beautiful. I love the way it's just him singing at first with his guitar and then the rest of the band do their magic. .Mike is terrific on that mandolin. Just to say another thing about Mike and that is he is an absolutely brilliant guitarist. He makes those guitars talk back to him. He is a treasure. I love listening to his guitar solos. Brilliant on Swingin another one of my great favourites. I love it. How I miss you Tom Petty the world is missing a true star. Not just the music but as person. I love your style, your laid back easy going personality and your sense of humour. And your Honesty. When you refused the record label to put up the price of your album and baled out then declared bankruptcy so they couldn't touch you.. Brilliant. That made me laugh but it also made me absolutely adore you all the more because of your integrity. Because you put your fans first. So many would have had no problem at all in upping the price and take the money and run and not give a toss about anyone else. But not you. You are so missed by so many. God has truly plucked a shining star from this earth. Love you Tom Petty. I hope like many others that I meet you on the other side. Your music will keep me going while I'm here.. Enjoy your Heaven Tom. If anyone deserves to be there you do. Miss you and love you always. RIP. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖💖🕊🕊🕊👍👍👍🤗Mike you are still with us thank God. Keep playing that guitar boy. You are magic and are still shining. You must have been born with that guitar in your hands. Don't ever let it go. You and Gary Moore RIP. Have to be the best guitarists I have ever heard. Gary God be with him was a genius as well. You remind me a lot of him the way he plays. And that is one of the greatest complements I could ever give you. And he was a lovely person too. Honest and good hearted like Tom was. I think you would have really liked Gary. Another great star plucked from this earth far too soon.. Love them both. God bless them and God bless you and the rest of the Heartbreakers. Tom's family your families and all the fans out there that love and miss Tom so much and love all you boys in the heartbreakers and Mudcrutch as well. Love always Susan 👍💖💖💖❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🕊🕊🕊
That's the way it should be, as much as fans like to sing along to heighten their personal experience I wish they would just zip it. I wanna hear who I paid money to hear, not a crowd of people.
Who fucking cares if your 12 , 14, 23 years old and you love tom petty... That doesn't make you any cooler than the next petty fan or person... Just enjoy the music. However old you are!
Benmont can do anything... play a nice piano for you, write you a song or two, sing the occasional song, change your car's oil, do your taxes, fix your leaky sink, take your grandma to her doctor's appointment. There is literally nothing that he can't do.
YES to this comment. Tom Petty had Benmont. Bruce Springsteen had Roy Bittan. Without them on piano, the sound of those songs just wouldn't be the same.
Totally agree, he is taking me to my next MD appointment. Can you imagine carrying your instrument around the States on tour ? Pianos are much harder to carry than a guitar.....lol. Cheers Benmont !!!
I was in Philly too last Saturday and their performance was AMAZING!! you can truly fell Tom's energy and love for his craft....a gifted musician and songwriter....best concert ever...and I came all the way from Italy to see him
You're right, the lyrics do have a deep, personal meaning. Even more this morning as the news of Tom's passing on is slowly sinking in. I grew up in Florida, went to school at UF in Gainesville. Tom Petty's music was just always there, like a favorite shirt, always comfortable, always in fashion. God bless Tom Petty, may he rest in eternal peace.
Rob McLean I love this song soooooo much. It’s one of my TOP 5 favorite TP songs (I think I have about 35 “top 5” songs of Tom’s😉). Those lyrics are just perfect and beautiful and pure Tom. And no one else can sing them the way he does either. What really also got me about this particular song is the fact that he was asked to write/contribute just ONE song for this movie.....and he watched the movie and liked it so much that he went on to write the entire soundtrack for that movie. Who the heck does that?? Who else has the creativity and talent to do that? Only Tom Petty. I didn’t grow up in FL, but I did grow up with Tom’s music. I remember hearing “Listen to her Heart” back in 1978 or so? I was a high school senior. Still one of my most favorite TP songs. During his lifetime, I hate to admit, I wasn’t one of those absolute super fans. I knew and loved his music though and just always thought he’d be around. Human nature, I guess. Maybe that’s why his passing has gutted me. He WAS always there.....and now he’s not. But his awesome music does live on, and what an amazing legacy it is!
I'm doing my "Petty" rounds today - keeping my heart alive - - I LOVE what you said Rob -- "his music was always there, like a favorite shirt, always comfortable, always in fashion" I join you in saying: 'God Bless Tom Petty, may he rest in eternal peace".
What strikes me as odd is on SiriusXM’s TP Buried Treasure channel, he keeps remarking about how they jacked him around on his studio, treating him like a 3rd class host; 4 yrs after his death, they’re running his shows back to back still operating ON HIS CHANNEL!!!
Tom Petty has been part of the soundtrack for every wonderful and terrible thing that's happened over the course of my life. I can't believe he's gone. This day can fuck off forever. Rest In Peace darlin'. 💔
One of the regrets of my life, not seeing Tom & The Heartbreakers when they were in Hartford June 14, 2017, less than three months before we all lost him. His best songs were not necessarily his most popular ones, not a bad one in the bunch. Such a talent & treasure!!
this has always been one of my favorite tracks, I've never heard this version so thank you for posting. It gives me chills, and tears, and all the feels.
i'm so amazed. his audience consist of adults his age and even decades later younger kids are still listening to him. i have SO much respect and appreciation for this man and the music he has made throughout his years.
It has been 6 months since his passing and I have been listening to songs on his earlier releases, and, as it is with all his songwriting, his gift, was immense. Such a beautiful human being. So glad I got to see TP& THB at the Sept. 22, 2017 at the H. Bowl. Hugs to Dana, Adria, AnnaKim, Mike, Ben, Steve, Ron & Scott. Myself as well as the entire Tom Petty Nation are with you in spirit.
Walls (Circus) Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Album: She's The One (Songs and Music From The Motion Picture) Some days are diamonds Some days are rocks Some doors are open Some roads are blocked Sundowns are golden Then fade away But if I never do nothing I'll get you back some day, cause You got a heart so big It could crush this town And I can't hold out forever Even walls fall down All around your island There's a barricade That keeps out the danger That holds in the pain Sometimes you're happy Sometimes you cry Half of me is ocean Half of me is sky, but (Chorus) Some things are over Some things go on Part of me you carry Part of me is gone, but (Chorus x2) Writer: Tom Petty ℗ 1996 Warner Records Inc.
Scott is so great, his backing vocals are perfectly in sync with Tom and you can tell that his job is to contribute to the song and not to stand out from it.
RIP Tom. You were one of the all-time greats. A true gift and a legend.. Thank you for posting this video, Donna Rose. It's one of my favorites. The Lyrics have deep meaning to me as well. Then again, that's how all of his music was for most people. God Bless.
I started falling in love with Tom Petty at 14 as well. Now I am 30 and his music still touches me deeply. I always said, heseems to write songs for me, always has a perfect song for whatever I'm going through. I also love his fire, humbleness, and humanness. His band is full of superior talent. Rock On Tom!
I LOVE this version of Walls, by the incomparable Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers! However, I would love it even more if an audio version would be available, iTunes or CS, or whatever! I know this is from Soundstage, and I see that the DVD of this show is available, but I beg you, please make an audio version of this available! Pretty Please!
Just another timeless creation of Tom’s beautiful work.With all that he shared we can only be so grateful for his time here on earth. RIP my friend , and believe when it’s our time we will be honoured to meet with you again.
Oh Tom! What a brill musician he is...my guy for sure! Special thanks to my friend for sending this video to me! I love you girl, you made my day sweetie! Great thing about music, it grabs ya by the heartstrings! Thank you duzdonna for sharing this beautiful song! ♥
One of my all time favorites. Even if it was for a movie soundtrack..Seeing him live -just basics like this is even better. I don't need a light show and deafness after the show. So many artists working there on the stage. Excellent group. Thanks Tom!
This will be the reason to rehearse and record this song myself... Tom is my hero ever since I heard Full moon fever as a 7 year old boy... I didn't underatand much at that time, but the way I felt hearing his music will always remain the same.. Its something that cannot be explained... It's just there in your heart, and that's what he reaches through his music.
The man could say more in one line than most songwriters can say in a whole song...Miss you Tom.
You mean lines like, "I'm just a loser at the top of my game."? One of my favorites, which, unfortunately I can relate to all too much at times.
❤️❤️❤️
As much as i love Tom Petty and Mike Campbell...Benmont Tench on keyboards kills this song...a classic!
I think I like this even more than the original, and this is in my top 3 Petty songs. It's missing those ending harmonies, but the uptempo just flows perfect. RIP you legend, and thank you Donna Rose for sharing, even some 15 years later.
I would love to have seen TP live. One of the very best ever
This is amazing
Mike Campbell has the sweetest Mandolin I've ever seen.
💔 ... RIP Tom Petty, we'll miss you...😔😥!
Awesome tune!!! what year was this?
Anyone know the year and venue?
this show it is on DVD ??
Is this version available to download?
“All around your island/theres a barricade/that keeps out the danger/holds in the pain”...INCREDIBLE lyrics. Tom Petty was a national treasure.
Indeed
The man was a poet.
They dont make em like they used too ...
Yeh, this whole lyric is just astounding. "You've got a heart so big, it could crush this town". No one writes like this.
You forgot another line -
“Sometimes you’re happy
Sometimes you cry half of me is ocean, half of me is sky”
I’ve always took that to mean just as the elements have an affect over time, ocean water and powerful rays of the sun will eventually wear out that barricade.
That and her big heart - basically they will both bring down each other’s barriers 😊
Honestly...what can ANYONE find not to like about this incredible piece of artistry? The songwriting, the musicianship...all incredible. Tom Petty really was one of the truly great artists of our time, and we were lucky to have him with us in our time. This is music that will stand the test of time.
So damn well said!!!
"Walls" is probably my favorite Tom Petty song, and this live version is fantastic!
Thumbs up if you're listening forever ;) Timeless.
What Petty does is to make the extraordinary appear simple and the simple extraordinary. "Heart so big it could crush this town." "Smoked cigarettes and stared at the moon." "Long day livin' in Reseda." "Most things I worry about never happen anyway." All seems so off the cuff and easy .. but try doing it yourself.

Tom was a musical genius.
You just made me cry with your beautiful description. Tom was truly a Heartbreaker. Right to the end..... Such a beautiful soul under those soulful eyes.
Been 1 year and i am still in tears..Yesterday was a rough one one..
I still mourn tom petty to this day. Never has the death of a celebrity impacted me so profoundly
Same. :(
It was such an unpleasant shock, his passing. Yet he gave us so much cool, down-to-earth, real time, while he was here!
Yes Sir, I fully agree
I still mourn 4 years later! This man WILL live on!
@@anyathewildchild4400 I am still in tears every day and night, I met Tom in 1990.Such a nice humble sweet humble man,
How professional is Mike Campbell? Mike is usually the co-pilot but he eyes up Benmont Tench on his killer keyboard part to make sure Benmont is the focus...which he certainly is...KILLER! Kudos to Mike Campbell.
This song just makes me happy and sad at the same time, I don't think I'll ever get over his passing
I'm just blown apart by his death and this song is both comforting and devastating. "Part of me you carry, part of me is gone."
Caroline Baxter me too....completely devastated
I am truly still grieving. A comment came to mind that I saw somewhere a couple of weeks ago ...it said: "Tom, you Heartbreaker, you went and broke our hearts." ♡♡ A huge loss for all fans who loved him. So thankful for the legacy of music Tom left us. You will never be forgotten Tom! ♡
Caroline Baxter Agreed, bittersweet listening to these, but I'll never stop. ♡
Caroline Baxter Right on. I tear up every time I watch his videos. Dana needs our prayers, folks. It's been over a year now & she's missing him very much! 😢💜
Tom was one of ''those'' people who ''just have IT''.....their soul just seems to be connected to a completely different energy source.

Perfectly said!

Such a beautiful voice... Tom is so sadly missed.
I wouldn't say he had a beautiful voice. He had a very unique voice and you knew when you heard it, that it was him! He certainly used it to bring his songs to life.
amazingly well written song, but its Petty's singing style which truly makes him an all time great, in my opinion
Got it in one, Randy!
History will tell that it was Mr Tom Petty who wrote the Great American Songbook and folk will say Bob who? Because Tom Petty is and was the real deal.
Unbelievable lyrics on this, and all of Tom’s tunes. RIP to an absolute legend. So missed. Wish I could’ve seen him in concert, but I know I can always find solace in this crazy life by listening to his stuff. And that keyboard solo..magical
That's my favourite part of the video. When Mike and Tom both turn to watch their friend rocking out. I love that moment.
@@thetompettyproject I know you know this but it was of the Storytellers series on I think VHS?

Tom Petty, you were a diamond.
and still are terveisin Mika from Finland
And October, 2, 2017 was a Boulder.
vive la eva yes he was... one that doesn't come around all that offend...
vive la eva never a truer word said and a terrific compliment
I'd be honored if some Petty fans would check out my acoustic keyboard & vocal cover of INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN on my channel in tribute to one of the purest artists that the USA has ever produced. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and keep on rocking. THE LEGEND LIVES ON
I don't understand how 44 people could unlike this song. One of my favorites. I love Tom Petty.
Probably because of patriarchy or something...
Elle Bee me too. It’s one of my absolute favorites. One of my top 5 TP songs for SURE. I have about 35 “top 5’s” of his!!!
Elle, are you Honey's sister?
sitting on their taste buds.
hell yeah one of his best....but the drums and guitar are incredible.
Damn. Scott's harmony is amazing, and Benmont on those keyboards though. Something you'll never be able to recreate in modern music.
AgentUndertaker absolutely AGREE. Damn is right. I used to love Howie’s high harmonies with Tom sooooo much (and still do). But wow, Scott does a freakin’ amazing job.....especially here on this song. Sounds just 👌!!! And Benmont’s keyboards👌. And Mike Campbell playing that...instrument he plays (not sure what it’s officially called?) - it sounds absolutely fantastic. Put it all together with Tom’s unique voice/style and you’ve got true, utter perfection right here. 100%.
AgentUndertaker mandolin! That’s what Mike is playing👌
Yeah, Mighty Mike on the mandolin is nothing to dismiss. They were all versatile as fuck.
@@padodger7 Really unbelievable ... Very reminiscent of The Band, except a notch higher with Tommys lyrics and composition. jmo.
Tom was one of a very few who sounded better live
Tom, remember Kelly my beautiful daughter. She just died. I will raise her daughter. Please meet her.. She loved you. Kelly Busse was the best.
This song is particularly poignant to my wife and I at this point in our lives. Tom and the band played it at the Sept. 21st concert at the Hollywood Bowl. I cried at the show and I've shed a lot more tears since Monday. I am completely gutted.
Sometimes the world sucks and a lot of times listening to Tom and the band would make it a little more bearable.
RIP Tom...you are greatly missed!
At the beginning of the Song ...there is Only His Voice 🎤& His Guitar 🎸...
And it is Perfect 🎼🎵🎶!
Wow! I love the little Rickenbacker electric Mandolin! Mike often has interesting guitars...
His Gator one is my favorite, but I'm a little partial. (I went to UF. lol)
Agree. His collection of guitars is absolutely phenomenal!
How Mike Campbell's talent goes under the radar of a genius musician ,is a total mystery to me .......i.saw the band live a couple of years back.absolutely star studded talent throughout.i I have no doubt his music will be as fresh in 20 years,when one considers what some of today's music measures up too.

My favorite songs ever “ you got a heart so big it could crush this town”
He certainly had a way with words that could just melt your heart
Look at the crowd they are quiet and really appreciating the song
That's the way it should be, as much as fans like to sing along to heighten their personal experience I wish they would just zip it. I wanna hear who I paid money to hear, not a crowd of people.
Great version with the mandolin's solo and the piano's solo. It makes so big it could crush this town...
"Now I'm starting to relax a little bit--everywhere I look is me."
Who fucking cares if your 12 , 14, 23 years old and you love tom petty... That doesn't make you any cooler than the next petty fan or person... Just enjoy the music. However old you are!
Walls
Tom Petty
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundowns are golden
Then fade away
But if I never do nothing
I'm coming back some day
'Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
All around your island
There's a barricade
It keeps out the danger
Holds in the pain
Sometimes you're happy
And sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky
But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
And some things are over
Some things go on
Part of me you carry
And part of me is gone
But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
You got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
Songwriters: Tom Petty
Walls lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc
Benmont can do anything... play a nice piano for you, write you a song or two, sing the occasional song, change your car's oil, do your taxes, fix your leaky sink, take your grandma to her doctor's appointment. There is literally nothing that he can't do.
Benmont Tench and Roy Bittan are the guys.
YES to this comment. Tom Petty had Benmont. Bruce Springsteen had Roy Bittan. Without them on piano, the sound of those songs just wouldn't be the same.
Totally agree, he is taking me to my next MD appointment. Can you imagine carrying your instrument around the States on tour ? Pianos are much harder to carry than a guitar.....lol. Cheers Benmont !!!
Benmont was a musical child prodigy.
I was in Philly too last Saturday and their performance was AMAZING!! you can truly fell Tom's energy and love for his craft....a gifted musician and songwriter....best concert ever...and I came all the way from Italy to see him
Love that beautiful Tom Petty smile,...
Best band and front man in the history of recorded music.
Still listening in 2024!
The world will miss you Tom, sad to know you are gone, but you will live our hearts forever, we LOVE YOU TOM.
Rest in Peace Tom Petty. Just a beautiful human being.

Tom paints emotions thru his guitar and voice
"Half of me is ocean. Half of me is sky".
One of the best lines ever!
Tom Petty has been part of the soundtrack for every wonderful and terrible thing that's happened over the course of my life. I can't believe he's gone. This day can fuck off forever. Rest In Peace darlin'. 💔
Tom's smile always warms my heart....God....we miss you.
Thus we lose another legend! Rest in peace Tom! Thanks for the music!
And OF COURSE Mike Campbell can play the absolute sh*t of of the mandolin! What a great band - what a great artist. RIP TP
Tom Petty is kind of like a Bob Dylan for the modern world.
Some things are over
some things go on
and part of me you carry
part of me is gone.....
THAT'S PROBABLY THE BEST PART!
One of the regrets of my life, not seeing Tom & The Heartbreakers when they were in Hartford June 14, 2017, less than three months before we all lost him. His best songs were not necessarily his most popular ones, not a bad one in the bunch. Such a talent & treasure!!
Very few musicians can sound the same live or in studio. That is true organic talent.
I just can't stop listening. What a song. Lines that say a lot and only those with good hearts will understand. RIP Mr. Tom Petty, you will be missed.
this has always been one of my favorite tracks, I've never heard this version so thank you for posting. It gives me chills, and tears, and all the feels.
This is one of my all time favorite songs by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers!
Oh Tom! I love his Voice! And sense of humour! 🌠🌏👽🕵️🌈🕊️💘
i'm so amazed. his audience consist of adults his age and even decades later younger kids are still listening to him. i have SO much respect and appreciation for this man and the music he has made throughout his years.
It has been 6 months since his passing and I have been listening to songs on his earlier releases, and, as it is with all his songwriting, his gift, was immense. Such a beautiful human being. So glad I got to see TP& THB at the Sept. 22, 2017 at the H. Bowl. Hugs to Dana, Adria, AnnaKim, Mike, Ben, Steve, Ron & Scott. Myself as well as the entire Tom Petty Nation are with you in spirit.
"Part of me, you carry, and part of me is gone"
THE PART OF YOU THAT WE CARRY WILL BE ALIVE FOREVER
You know..
When TP crossed over
A piece of my rocking youth
Heart cracked
Can.t believe the news, Tom 's true legend, won't be forgotten xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Never forgotten...ruclips.net/video/EMmo-wr-a6g/видео.html

Album: She's The One (Songs and Music From The Motion Picture)
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Sundowns are golden
Then fade away
But if I never do nothing
I'll get you back some day, cause
You got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
All around your island
There's a barricade
That keeps out the danger
That holds in the pain
Sometimes you're happy
Sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky, but
(Chorus)
Some things are over
Some things go on
Part of me you carry
Part of me is gone, but
(Chorus x2)

"Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks"
SOFIA MASCARO it's so true
Now if only someone would re-upload the Yer So Bad from this performance.
Scott is so great, his backing vocals are perfectly in sync with Tom and you can tell that his job is to contribute to the song and not to stand out from it.
FOR THE LEGEND TOM PETTY, ALWAYS LOVED FOREVER MISSED NEVER FORGOTTEN.
Tom made such a funny joke about looking every where and just seeing himself
RIP Tom. You were one of the all-time greats. A true gift and a legend.. Thank you for posting this video, Donna Rose. It's one of my favorites. The Lyrics have deep meaning to me as well. Then again, that's how all of his music was for most people. God Bless.
Some days are rocks but days I get to listen to Tom are diamonds.
Just unbelievable. So minimalist but so full at the same time. The most talented musician and best band of their generation. RIP TP
I feel like I lost an old friend.
We did!🎸❤️😢
How could you leave us all so early ? So unfair. RIP Tom. Your music is there to stay
i like this version better than the album version, thanks for posting
I started falling in love with Tom Petty at 14 as well. Now I am 30 and his music still touches me deeply. I always said, heseems to write songs for me, always has a perfect song for whatever I'm going through. I also love his fire, humbleness, and humanness. His band is full of superior talent. Rock On Tom!
Don't think Tom ever wrote or sang a bad song. I really miss this guy big time.

RIP, Great musician and poet. I love so much this song, so warm, tender, peaceful...
I LOVE this version of Walls, by the incomparable Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers! However, I would love it even more if an audio version would be available, iTunes or CS, or whatever! I know this is from Soundstage, and I see that the DVD of this show is available, but I beg you, please make an audio version of this available! Pretty Please!
Just another timeless creation of Tom’s beautiful work.With all that he shared we can only be so grateful for his time here on earth. RIP my friend , and believe when it’s our time we will be honoured to meet with you again.
God I love Tom
Oh Tom! What a brill musician he is...my guy for sure! Special thanks to my friend for sending this video to me! I love you girl, you made my day sweetie! Great thing about music, it grabs ya by the heartstrings! Thank you duzdonna for sharing this beautiful song! ♥
So beautiful!.....................
He's the best
One of my all time favorites. Even if it was for a movie soundtrack..Seeing him live -just basics like this is even better. I don't need a light show and deafness after the show. So many artists working there on the stage. Excellent group. Thanks Tom!
I miss Tom Petty and My Dad!
This will be the reason to rehearse and record this song myself... Tom is my hero ever since I heard Full moon fever as a 7 year old boy... I didn't underatand much at that time, but the way I felt hearing his music will always remain the same.. Its something that cannot be explained... It's just there in your heart, and that's what he reaches through his music.
