This is the best version of this song I've ever heard. Tom sounded great here. This is special and I'm glad it was recorded for us all to see all these years later.
RIP Tom Petty. I was there in the crowd. Bonnaroo 2006 was like living in another world; it was a very special moment in my life and I'll never forget it.
A buddy and I were lost trying to find our group with a head full of acid. I saw some random guy hitting a bowl, and walked up to him to ask if he could help us out. He called our friends and pointed us in the right direction. Everybody who was there in that moment in time has a story to tell.
This performance was incredible. I knew it was back in 2006, but now that I’m watching this video in 2022, I realize how truly incredible it was. We didn’t have smart phones back then so I’m glad I found this video. RIP Tom Petty
This has to be one of the greatest live performances ever. Just listen closely to his guitar… the musical arrangements etc, absolutely perfect, and then his vocals.
I attended Bonnaroo in 2006 and got to see this live. Looking back, I feel truly blessed to have experienced this magical performance before his passing. Awesome for Bonnaroo to have posted this here so we can enjoy it and appreciate the gift Tom Petty gave to the world with his music.
I was in a car accident in 2001 and my sister played this song next to my hospital bed. She said I was moving my feet to it which I don't remember because I was in a medically-induced coma. Every time I hear it I get choked up.
When you see almost the entire arc of someone's life and career and see all the joy they brought into our lives it can really break your heart. Thank you so much Tom. You will never be forgotten.
I remember being here and calling my mom to let her listen to this masterpiece. First concert i ever went to was TP for my 14th bday with my mom. Our bond was TP & HB. RIP mom. Hope ur hanging with dad and TP in the great beyond.
I was there. 70,000+ singing. good times. back when bonnaroo was fun. haven't been since 2008. have another lineup like 2006 and I would be back in a heart beat.
Tom Petty was such an amazing, talented musician! I don't know what it is about this particular performance of Tom singing "Learning To Fly," but the tears flowthe most whenever I watch this video from Bonaroo! Tom sings this poignant song so beautifully always! But there's something special about this performance. For me, it's partly because that large outdoor crowd is silent, hanging onto his every word, and witnessing his brilliant light. And as the song comes to the end, the tears really flow because, I know that none of us will ever witness that man and his stirring voice LiVE again! :-( So thankful for this video, and all the videos that exist for all of us to feel Tom's spirit through his music. We miss you and love you Tom. ♡
This version made me cry,about he part saying "looking down on the world below" thought of my mama who passed in 2011 :-( Mr Petty,thank you for a wonderful song, R.I.P
Had Sirius Tom Petty channel 31 on in my car as I finished parking it. Song came on. Kept radio on. Automatically eventually the tears again came. ................
Tom Freaking Petty wrote songs like this for all of us to enjoy for a million years, because God gets bored and shows off sometimes in creating people like him. Absolutely Evergreen! We miss him, but will never be without his genius.
If I had to pick my personal Mount Rushmore of great American songwriters, it would be, (in no particular order), Chuck Berry, Smoky Robinson, Bob Dylan and, my absolute favorite, Tom Petty. I have listened to his music, dissected his songwriting and admired him as a person my entire life. He wrote and sang songs about real people, real life and situations that we can all relate to, while never losing his wide eyed wonder at the joy of making a living playing in a rock ‘n’ roll band. Your contribution to my life is immeasurable and I will miss you for the rest of my days. Rest In Peace, Mr. Petty as you fly up over your troubles and over your worries and thank you for everything.
Well, maybe not Rushmore, but if there's an american who deserves a granite statue, it sure is Tom Petty. If there'll be people 500 years from now, I'm sure they'll want to know how the immortal poet looked like.
The live version of this song was the first thing I thought of when I heard of Petty's passing. Was no cooler moment than just staring at the stars and singing along to this. Thank You, Tom.
The best part of his concerts was when you got to sing Learning to Fly with him. It was literally electric in the arena...They were amazing to see live and probably the BEST live band out there.
I did it too at Hyde Park and it was simply awesome. It instantly became my new most favourite Petty song and his late live versions (and this one in particular) are just faultless and perfection personified ❤
His Passing has hit me harder than ever ! Last Friday would have been his 67th Birthday ! I count myself as very fortunate to have seen him 3 times ! The last time was in July in Hyde Park ! I had tickets to see U2 on the same day , but as soon as I knew Tom & Stevie were coming I sold the U2 tickets ! To be honest it was Stevie I wanted to see as I had never seen her solo ! But to see them on the same bill was incredible ! Since his death I have been on here watching his Concerts Videos & interviews . I expect he will now be Knocking on Heavens Door with some of his friends like George Harrison & Roy Orbison ! RIP Tom !
This song, and specifically this version from Bonnaroo live, became my anthem in 2016-17 when I was walking through the dark days of cancer. Still raw emotion to this day when I hear it. Beautiful, epic, and when the crowd begins, it sounds like a chorus of angels. Saw Tom at his final concert at Red Rocks May 30, 2017, and after all I had been through, when he played this song and the crowd chimed in, I cried my eyes out with gratitude. Tom was gone just 4 months later. RIP TP, and I know you finally learned the true meaning of learning to fly ❤
Somewhere in this chorus of 70,000 people at the 3:20 mark is my voice. RIP Tom. You got them wings Tom....Goodbye and thank you!!! Today this made me cry. RIP Tom Petty.
This was an amazing show, thank you for posting this. I was there with a dear friend and we’d try to see Petty a few years before but the show was cancelled due to a tornado and we got stuck in a cow pasture trying to leave… it felt so amazing to finally see him and sing with everyone
This is such an Amazing Song. I’m 46 now, and I get what this song truly means. Hope you’re RIP Buddy. Look Forward to seeing you again someday. Thanks for the Wonderful Music.😢
Still miss him. Still listen to his music at least once a week. Every road trip I’ve taken in my life has started and ended with Tom Petty! Including driving almost 300 miles to see them perform in Colorado when I was in high school.
Seen this band live eight times. There is no better live band out there today. 2.5 hours repeatedly of all his hits with virtually no dead spots. The last show was in Montreal at the Belle Center. Even for the Frenchies, every opening guitar bars of each songs would bring the crowd to its feet roaring. The entire crowd sang the refrains from "Free Falling" and "Learning to Fly" with Tom telling everybody, such do a fantastic job. Do not miss this band if they are coming near to your town or city.
I'm sorry for you, too :(. I just can't seem to get over the sadness. Some of it may have to do with what I'm personally experiencing in my life at the moment.....and it'll forever remind me of Tom's passing now, for the rest of my life.....but some of it is just plain real regret. I'm watching footage of all these live concerts and living vicariously through them. All I can do for now.
I was there, but must've been too dinged up to remember this. RIP Tom Petty. The countless good memories I have had at your shows or listening to your music while growing up will never fade!
What a mix of emotions. I feel so human when I listen to this song. Thank you Tom. I'll look into your eyes and thank you someday. 'I guess I'll know when I get there...' :)
Hard to believe how long ago it was when I finally got to see this great musician perform live but, so worth the wait (not to mention the heat and crowd). I'm pretty sure he's absolutely mastered the art of flying, right about now...💖
2023, and I remember this version when they played in Stockholm, Sweden 2012. It is still one of the most spiritual experience I have had in my life. Keep coming back to this vid to relive the moment. 🖤
Oh he has (just go back and watch footage of him when he was 20, 30, 40....). BUT, he's aged so well, so gracefully. Like a truly beautiful fine wine....
Do u have vision problem ?? Cause to me .. it seems like he aged ... and now he's gone because he took drug dosage meant for college kids (young n energetic) ... which for tom was overdose .... ageing i guess
NO ONE BETTER, the coolest, song writingest ICON that AMERICA EVER PRODUCED,, NAME ME ANOTHER THAT WROTE MORE GREAT SONGS, can't do it HUH?, love love love TOM PETTY and HIS MEMORY, the songbook of many lives
God, I miss him so much. Been listening to him ever since I was 4 years old. This is one of the most heartfelt performances I've ever watched. He brought so much great music to the world, rest in peace, Mr. Tom Petty.
I fist became aware of Tom, about 30 years ago. At the time my favourite band of all time Electric light Orchestra, were on a hiatus. in those days of course, there was no internet. I was trying to find out what my hero Jeff Lynne was up to, looking out for any new music and anything, he was involved in. That's when i came across Tom's music, as Jeff had produced. Full Moon Fever. I still to this day love that album and play it at least once a week. The follow up Into the great Wide Open, which this song is from, is also wonderful. Tom's ability to tell a story within a song is amazing. He is a legend. We really miss you Tom. Still love Tom, Jeff, ELO, The Wilbury's everything.
Today I was moved to tears by this. I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing. RIP Tom Petty, wish I had seen you live brother.
When I watch a performance like this I never understand why people spend thosands on pop stars and all their wardrobe non-sense. As a metal guy pyro and light shows add to the experience but bands like Tom and The Heartbreakers know, knew it's ultimately about the music. And the emotion behind it is what connects with us the fans. A lost art! Here's to Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and music. Glory to GOD for the gift of music too!
omg... I didn't know he was getting on in years. I should see him next time he swings through. I'll probably regret it if I didn't. That audience participation and him singing over it is beyond incredible.
adarkerlight one of the biggest regrets of my entire life now will be that I never got to see him perform live....😭😭😭💔. Don't take anything for granted.
My husband is divorcing me after 5 years. I just wasn’t good enough for him anymore. So now I am also, learning to fly without wings. Thank you Tom Petty. This is inspiring for me right now .
I just listened to this 5 times on the way home from work off a CD I have and now another 5 or 10 times on here. Almost gets better every time. I rolled the windows down in the car to share it with the world.

Listening in February 2024 ❤
That electric mandolin may be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
Man... That made me cry
you and i both 😢
This is the best version of this song I've ever heard. Tom sounded great here. This is special and I'm glad it was recorded for us all to see all these years later.
"Fly over my troubles, Fly over my worries, Fly up high in the blue sky looking down on the world below." I am still stunned RIP Tom Petty.
Seriously. I first heard the news onTom Petty radio SXM, sat in my car for a while and just cried.
@@p71josh u must be young
❤
It simply doesn’t get better
Teared up watching this one. Fly high Tom Petty. 💫
You know you're a Legend, when Stevie Nicks is your backing vocalist.
HAHAHAHAHA
TheFilmExpert123 she said she would have quit Fleetwood Mac to join the Heartbreakers no questions asked
@@Timd92 but she did ask and Tom said no, thankfully
You just put it exactly right. And BTW, you know your a class act when you are Stevie Nicks and you sing backup.
@@shannonr1983 Not quite, she asked him to help her write an album when she was ill and he said no, because she didn't need him to.
RIP Tom Petty. I was there in the crowd. Bonnaroo 2006 was like living in another world; it was a very special moment in my life and I'll never forget it.
A buddy and I were lost trying to find our group with a head full of acid. I saw some random guy hitting a bowl, and walked up to him to ask if he could help us out. He called our friends and pointed us in the right direction. Everybody who was there in that moment in time has a story to tell.
truly the most profoundly beautiful version of this masterpiece
you are not lying. as good as anything thats ever been sang
Just perfection and profoundly awesome
This performance was incredible. I knew it was back in 2006, but now that I’m watching this video in 2022, I realize how truly incredible it was. We didn’t have smart phones back then so I’m glad I found this video. RIP Tom Petty
I come back every few weeks, or months, to listen, and cry. Magic. The power of music.
This has to be one of the greatest live performances ever. Just listen closely to his guitar… the musical arrangements etc, absolutely perfect, and then his vocals.
O
I attended Bonnaroo in 2006 and got to see this live. Looking back, I feel truly blessed to have experienced this magical performance before his passing. Awesome for Bonnaroo to have posted this here so we can enjoy it and appreciate the gift Tom Petty gave to the world with his music.
come back to us, we miss you 💓
Flying over my troubles , flying over my worries . Wow, Love this song.
You got them wings Tom....Goodbye and thank you!!!
Meredith O angels don't have wings, but they have an acoustic guitar made of Gold
Wrong - Meredith. He will ALWAYS be with "us."
It's heartbreaking to hear this. He definitely has wings and a halo now. Gone way too soon.
I was in a car accident in 2001 and my sister played this song next to my hospital bed. She said I was moving my feet to it which I don't remember because I was in a medically-induced coma. Every time I hear it I get choked up.
She was lying ... u idiot
We're you there? Me neither. Sounds like contempt prior to investigation.
@@metoo9360 Were not we're. F'ing spell check.
I’m so happy your here today and I hope your doing good
Well your sister has taste for sure pal ❤
When you see almost the entire arc of someone's life and career and see all the joy they brought into our lives it can really break your heart. Thank you so much Tom. You will never be forgotten.

Today this made me cry. RIP Tom Petty.
truly the most profoundly beautiful version of this masterpiece
Benmont’s laser focus on Tom is so beautiful. The whole band was a living, breathing unit. RIP.
I was in the audience. Right in the middle of the crowd. It was an incredible performance. God bless Tom Petty +
I was there! Still gives me full body chills everytime I hear this show! What a legend! RIP

Wow, I got goosebumps when he got the crowd in around 3:34 or so.
It doesn't get any better than this. Brings tears to my eyes and a chill down my spine. I love you Tom Petty...

Today this made me cry. RIP Tom Petty.
He should still be here. Loved him so much.
Was laying in the back in the grass staring at the sky during this. Was the greatest feeling ever.
This was an amazing show, thank you for posting this.

True
He has his wings now. Rest In Peace.
Wow, I got goosebumps when he got the crowd in around 3:34 or so.
Cool.........
I know all the victims in Los Vegas have learned to fly with Tom. Rest in peace, we will never forget any of you.
This is such an Amazing Song. I’m 46 now, and I get what this song truly means. Hope you’re RIP Buddy. Look Forward to seeing you again someday. Thanks for the Wonderful Music.😢
Can't stop listening...

Me too! Planned a trip last year to red rocks and decided to cancel and do it another time. Life is fragile.
Es war auch damals schon Business .Aber die Musik war so geil und es waren coole Typen.
Amazing to use the crowd as a chorus so masterfully. Beauty to the ears. RIP Tom. We miss you.....
My favorite musician and band. Deepest sympathies to family and friends.
Tom FING PETTY. The greatest American rocker of all time
Fly on Tom. You will be missed beyond words.
I was there, but must've been too dinged up to remember this. RIP Tom Petty. The countless good memories I have had at your shows or listening to your music while growing up will never fade!
One of my all time favorite songs and a fantastic performance.
I agree. If Not The Best Live Ever....Tom Petty have lots og GREAT live Performance.
What a mix of emotions. I feel so human when I listen to this song. Thank you Tom. I'll look into your eyes and thank you someday. 'I guess I'll know when I get there...' :)
What beautiful lyrics.. by a man who care first for others and their hurt
"I feel so human" ... simply the best expression of Tom's "thing" I've ever heard ❤️
"The rocks might melt & the sea may burn"
RIP...chills and tears now, so glad i was able to be in the crowd for this amazing show!
tyler russell dude I was there for that performance
He's got a place in Heaven just for him. We'll hear his music when we get there.
one of the best shows I've ever seen
Tom Petty we all miss you.
Fly over your troubles, Fi, looking down on the world below. Miss you, my sister. Say hi to everyone up there.
The rocks may melt and the sea may burn true.
Hard to believe how long ago it was when I finally got to see this great musician perform live but, so worth the wait (not to mention the heat and crowd). I'm pretty sure he's absolutely mastered the art of flying, right about now...💖
2023, and I remember this version when they played in Stockholm, Sweden 2012. It is still one of the most spiritual experience I have had in my life. Keep coming back to this vid to relive the moment. 🖤
How has this man not aged at all for about the last 40 years?
Oh he has (just go back and watch footage of him when he was 20, 30, 40....). BUT, he's aged so well, so gracefully. Like a truly beautiful fine wine....
Do u have vision problem ?? Cause to me .. it seems like he aged ... and now he's gone because he took drug dosage meant for college kids (young n energetic) ... which for tom was overdose .... ageing i guess
@@WaDeFaqMan 6 yrs later, YOURE a massive tool
This is just awesome and pure perfection! His voice got better with age and it just become flawless. Take a bow Tom, take a bow! LEGEND!
My dad was in that audience. Such a good of man. I'dmire him.
NO ONE BETTER, the coolest, song writingest ICON that AMERICA EVER PRODUCED,, NAME ME ANOTHER THAT WROTE MORE GREAT SONGS, can't do it HUH?, love love love TOM PETTY and HIS MEMORY, the songbook of many lives
I cannot believe in 2019, only 397k views. This version is spiritual. RIP Tom.
I was at this show and this moment brought tears and goosebumps then and it still does now. #RIP
Any more details?
😢😂😂😂😂
God, I miss him so much. Been listening to him ever since I was 4 years old. This is one of the most heartfelt performances I've ever watched. He brought so much great music to the world, rest in peace, Mr. Tom Petty.
Brilliant rendition. He got the audience to sing as he did counterpoint!
I fist became aware of Tom, about 30 years ago. At the time my favourite band of all time Electric light Orchestra, were on a hiatus. in those days of course, there was no internet. I was trying to find out what my hero Jeff Lynne was up to, looking out for any new music and anything, he was involved in. That's when i came across Tom's music, as Jeff had produced.

Tom's ability to tell a story within a song is amazing. He is a legend. We really miss you Tom. Still love Tom, Jeff, ELO, The Wilbury's everything.
When Tom engages the crowd in a singalong... major goosebumps
He was one with the audience 🎵
Tom Petty you were amazing. Your legacy will leave a big dent in rock and roll history and believe me it's a good dent.
I love this song, it evokes so much emotion. Beautifully written. Tom was a song writer extraordinaire and missed by me and I suspect many.
Sounds better live. Plus many of us hope our best and favourite artists could live two lifetimes. Fantastic music TP!
Tom and Stevie were a powerhouse. Their voices complimented each other perfectly. RIP
Lost him 4 years ago today. Still haven’t recovered. In one desperate moment there, he crept back in our memory.
Today I was moved to tears by this. I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing. RIP Tom Petty, wish I had seen you live brother.
When I watch a performance like this I never understand why people spend thosands on pop stars and all their wardrobe non-sense.
As a metal guy pyro and light shows add to the experience but bands like Tom and The Heartbreakers know, knew it's ultimately about the music. And the emotion behind it is what connects with us the fans.
A lost art!
Here's to Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and music.
Glory to GOD for the gift of music too!
he was one of the best 😢
From to argentina love song beautiful ❤
He permormed at The Royal Albert Hall of London in June 2012 ,I was there ,What a great show was
You could tell at the end he was real proud of the crowd singing with him,,, BLESS him.
I guess I'll know, when I get there.
You got wings now. Thanks for the memories music man.
RIP Uncle... Most beautiful and prescient performance. Fly over your troubles and worries, look down on us. See you soon.
omg... I didn't know he was getting on in years. I should see him next time he swings through. I'll probably regret it if I didn't. That audience participation and him singing over it is beyond incredible.
adarkerlight we're all getting on in years.. and considering this was 9 years ago, you better hurry.
Well he actually looks younger now, than he does here.
adarkerlight one of the biggest regrets of my entire life now will be that I never got to see him perform live....😭😭😭💔. Don't take anything for granted.
He got real there at the end. I pray indeed that he did learn to fly. Legend
Flying high now... Gods Speed... nearly in tears watching this :(
We love you Tom Petty
My husband is divorcing me after 5 years. I just wasn’t good enough for him anymore. So now I am also, learning to fly without wings. Thank you Tom Petty. This is inspiring for me right now .
I just listened to this 5 times on the way home from work off a CD I have and now another 5 or 10 times on here. Almost gets better every time. I rolled the windows down in the car to share it with the world.
