100% Agree. Songs of my young life-up through my daughters, her surprising me at her Wedding, the Song we danced to: “Last Dance w/Mary Jane” which she wanted to hear every morning driving to daycare @ 5 years old. Much like the Cool Guy scalpin concert tickets in Fast Times @ Ridgemont High ! K O O L …
"A Woman In Love" (But It's Not Me) is without doubt one of my very favorite Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers songs of all time. They perform it beautifully live here. In fact, the band is so tight it sounds almost like the record. What I love so much about this composition is the way that the vocals, music and lyrics fit together perfectly to convey the feeling of... yes... HEARTBREAK. It's something everyone has experienced. I was young and going through a break-up with an even younger girlfriend right around the time this album came out. "A Woman In Love" (But It's Not Me) resonated so strongly with me that I never forgot the lyrics. When Tom sings the line: "She used to be the kinda woman, you have and you hold, She could understand a problem, she let the little things go..." It's not just a fond description of his former lover. The quivering sound of Tom's voice also demonstrates the absolute shock he feels that THIS WOMAN chose to leave him for another man. If you're actually IN this situation, the effect is devastating.
I bought Damm the Torpedoes when I was 15 and played it constantly.I then bought Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and You Gonna Get it and every week checked out the record store for the next album. I still have them all on vinyl and feel a little like my old man with his Elvis records. I get old but Music is timeless. Rock on!
Same here but I was only 11 when Torpeados came out and I bought it. When hard promises came out and I went to buy it I was 50 cents short, so I bought the 45 of The Waiting, with an odd song called "Night Watchmen" on the B side. Almost 56, and though it does' kind of suck getting old I wouldn't change it, because I'm very thankful I grew up in that era of block parties and tackle football in the rain, and where (for the most part) kid's appreciated what they had much more than they do today.
Wonderful singer,didn't dawn on me what I had missed till now,Great singer,the sings are a reflection of the past,what a wonderful time,IM'E glad to have a long enough life to hearing such a magic part of my life I had lost in my time on earth,IV'E ALLWAYS loved rock,but I was lost in Country and rock,but I missed out on lots of their music raising my kids.👀now IM trying to catch up.
@@notpub The US festival was that 1982 or 83. I forget very close to the stage and saratoga NY maybe 86 87. I had a great series of slides from the US Festival that got water damaged I look and see if there is anything left.
Holy hell! I love that song, one of their most cinematic in scope, and that was an incredibly tight and astonishing performance of it. A lot is rightly said about Tom, but this is one that points up just how incredible the Heartbreakers always were.
A few years after this song was released I found myself in this situation where I loved somebody who couldn't love me back and another good man loved me but I couldn't see him for what he was. This song encapsulates it perfectly. It's haunting, it's tragic and it is beautiful.
I think most of us have one or more stories like that. Luckily, the second time it happened, I made the right decision. 45 years later and we're still together.
At 4:20 that closeup of Tom and Howie is so haunting these days. Two of the best gone painfully much too soon. One of my two favorite bands of all time.
Man, he had a tight band. The wailing on Mike's guitar , he made his guitar talk, much like Clapton. Also love Stan on drums. I like a drummer that doesn't go crazy with fills , just emotional and passionate . That is Stan. Tom's entire band knew exactly the right blend in live performance . it was never over - or under done. Tom truly had genius- level people around him
The more I watch TP vids, the more I believe that he really was a poet and musical genius. Not sure who you would even compare him to, maybe Jackson Browne, and I like JB but he's not even in the same building as Tom. RIP and thanks for the music!
I miss the fuck out of him. I remember when you got lucky came out when I was in high school. The little boom box he picks up in the video on MTV I had one identical & I loved that tune. He is the same to me as Elvis & Freddie Mercury, not replaceable.
I miss Tom. I saw about 30 of his concerts (California, New York (Beacon, MSG, Jones Beach). Despite his success, he was always the most humble individual. RIP.
Saw them do this tune during the Hard Promises tour of 1981. It was a huge hit back then. It was definitely one of the premier songs of that tour. Thanks for those memories to Tom and the rest of the Heartbreakers 💘.
Stan Lynch was such a big part of the original Heartbreakers pounding those great drum beats and singing that great back up. It was a shame When he & Tom split ways.
@@Boatdockmlh1 He was HILARIOUS... loved the bio .. arranging groupies on the bus; going off with Tom's hero Bob Dylan in Las Vegas to watch Frank Sinatra; he was also a fucking shit disturber and Benmont Tench when drinking which was still going on during Full Moon Fever which was the real reason I believe it was nominally a solo album was and is not to be trusted frankly no matter how much I respect his musical genius. Does that sound horrible? Well it's all about personalities and it didn't work out and the Heartbreakers went on to do other music and this music was possible live yes a lot because of Stan Lynch's explosive drumming which enabled Tom when he was young to let loose. ..... Bands evolve.
AMEN!!! My FINE and SEXY STAN ❤️ One 😍 BADASS DRUMMER and a Great Voice too!!! ❤️ Sincerely Darlene an American Girl who has a thing for drummers ❤️❤️❤️
FROM FRANCE.He was so handsome and he sang so well!He had everything going for him.Beautiful sexy.What’s weird about the comment isn’t stands out.Concerning me the two most beautiful rockers of those years were him and Benjamin Orr from CARS.
I still am not over Tomas Earl not being here. Over a year. Every day, his music still touches me, helps me stay alive. He has always known me in my mind because he wrote what I needed to hear at that time in my life. I keep thinking wondering how is Benmont, Mike?? I know they're playing, etc but man, never one time did I think Tom Petty would not be here. I can't leg go.
Man did Tom have a way with writing tunes but damn did benmont not steal the show every time… what a banging riff totally driven by the keys *chefs kiss*
I have to say Benmont Tench's intro was incredible; aside from that what was it about Tom Petty that would make people soar to the clouds and then want to commit suicide? My late husband whom I miss more than words can express was not an emotionally demonstrative man but this music affected him like nothing else, and I can say the same.
I’ve always imagined this song as the bookend to one of my other favorites by TPATH, Here Comes My Girl. So many rock tunes about women and relationships, but TP takes it to such a higher level with his songwriting and bittersweet
She's a woman in love And he's gonna break her heart to pieces She don't want to know She's a woman in love, she can't let go Time after time, night after night She would look up at me and say she was lonely I don't understand the world today I don't understand what she needed I gave her everything, she threw it all away on nothin' She's a woman in love She's a woman in love And he's gonna break her heart to pieces She don't want to see She's a woman in love, but it's not me
He's in quite a HAVEN' - Yes, I meant Haven!! -🎸 & I'm sure he's having a hell of a time. No doubt still rocking all the while... Looming down at us all, with gratitude knowing we're still enjoying his work... Yet probably trying to shout📡📣 out to us all - my shell may be gone... Yet I'm still just as alive as ever... Just in another form; In Spirit as most would relate to. So don't cry for me... Remember me. And keep enjoying the music in all forms of art ~♡~
My wifes favorite singer, Tom Petty everything! Huge collections! Im pretty sure she would have left me for Tom Petty if given the chance so when Tom passed on, she was devistated of course. . . But I was even more devistated than she was because thats they day I knew I was stuck with her the rest of my life. . . .
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 Right, I was referencing to Eric Johnson in 1990 on his Ah Via Musicom tour at the bottom line. All I am saying is they both had nearly identical mullet styles here.
In the dictionary there should be a picture of Tom Petty next to the word cool. Awesome songs, great songwriter. You are truly missed.
I can't help it. Tom Petty in an interview which I have to situate defined the word cool as 'fear wearing black'. WOW.
100% Agree. Songs of my young life-up through my daughters, her surprising me at her Wedding, the Song we danced to: “Last Dance w/Mary Jane” which she wanted to hear every morning driving to daycare @ 5 years old. Much like the Cool Guy scalpin concert tickets in Fast Times @ Ridgemont High !

Unforgotten
An American Band.
That's why Stevie wanted him

Heatbreak and A little trouble in Town...had it all.
Same here - it's a heartbreakingly beautiful song.
Such a tender song, Tom shows his vulnerability and humility.... so much of what is missing in today’s music.
I bought Damm the Torpedoes when I was 15 and played it constantly.I then bought Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and You Gonna Get it and every week checked out the record store for the next album. I still have them all on vinyl and feel a little like my old man with his Elvis records.

@cowboysfan782008 Agree totally.Like Nightwatchman but it's a bit unusual. Be well.
2024 - never old! Timeless Mr.Petty & HB’s - thank you 💕 So vulnerable and sad and amazing showmanship!!
Miss this guy...but his music keeps him in my life,plenty.
This group, this man, that's how you belt out a song. They were just too damn good.
Such a great song. Love hearing Mike Campbell cut loose at the end
My favorite Petty song, literally takes me back to 1980.
Such a loss to the music industry and America! He was definately one of the finest humans.
yes
Wonderful singer,didn't dawn on me what I had missed till now,Great singer,the sings are a reflection of the past,what a wonderful time,IM'E glad to have a long enough life to hearing such a magic part of my life I had lost in my time on earth,IV'E ALLWAYS loved rock,but I was lost in Country and rock,but I missed out on lots of their music raising my kids.👀now IM trying to catch up.
Boy I miss him.
A true music man and really cool dude to. Young to soon I will miss him RIP
O miss him too
He sings with so much emotion. I just love it.
Tom Pretty is, in my opinion the greatest song writer and the Heartbreakers is the best band.
Excellent version of my favorite Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song. I miss Tom Petty so much.
Growing up with this music puts a stamp on your heart and soul, and I can’t let go
Such an incredible artist with an incredible band backing him up.....timeless music indeed
Oh my hell. Love this song so damn much.
I was at this concert very close to the front best show I've seen. the band was otherworldly to all those musicians a heart felt thank you
Yer a Lucky Man!!!!!!!!
Where was it at, and what was the date?
@@notpub The US festival was that 1982 or 83. I forget very close to the stage and saratoga NY maybe 86 87. I had a great series of slides from the US Festival that got water damaged I look and see if there is anything left.
@@anthonymorales842 wow, so cool!!!
This one is definitely in my top five of Petty songs.
My favorite song and video of him and the band ❤️ at the zenith of career and vulnerability side
Holy hell! I love that song, one of their most cinematic in scope, and that was an incredibly tight and astonishing performance of it. A lot is rightly said about Tom, but this is one that points up just how incredible the Heartbreakers always were.
I can't believe this hasn't had more views. RIP. You're life and music was amazing and will be with us forever!
I'm pretty sure I'm about half those views.
Miss this band so much.......one of the all time best!
A few years after this song was released I found myself in this situation where I loved somebody who couldn't love me back and another good man loved me but I couldn't see him for what he was. This song encapsulates it perfectly. It's haunting, it's tragic and it is beautiful.
Sometimes, the heart doesn't know WHAT it wants.
I think most of us have one or more stories like that. Luckily, the second time it happened, I made the right decision. 45 years later and we're still together.
It's not always about you😂😂😂
@@jimmyjames6318 didn't say it always was; just that this particular song resonates with me.
this is early tom. looks so young. he's one that I'll miss 'till I'm gone my own self.
RIP Tom… best song I ever seen you perform live Bro

Tom was one of the giants. Of rock. Rip Tom.
MAKES ME HAPPY AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME,THINKING ABOUT THE WORDS OF THESE SONGS FROM A GREAT SINGER-SONGRIGHTER .
This the best concert I ever saw
All I ever need for a happy fix is to hear this man's tunes! Love it!!:)
Y-E-S to that!! Miss that incredible dude!!
Love love LOVE this song and Tom. 😢❤
One of my favorites by TP, has been on my mind since he passed, man this guy was f$%^&*g great.
You are so missed. Rest In Peace Tom. ❤️😢
Such a great artist and SHOWMAN!! Who can deny it?
ALWAYS LOVED NEVER FORGOTTEN FOREVER MISS, TOM PETTY, R.I.P.
I miss the fuck out of him. I remember when you got lucky came out when I was in high school. The little boom box he picks up in the video on MTV I had one identical & I loved that tune. He is the same to me as Elvis & Freddie Mercury, not replaceable.
I miss Tom. I saw about 30 of his concerts (California, New York (Beacon, MSG, Jones Beach). Despite his success, he was always the most humble individual. RIP.
Loved tom petty growing up in the early 90's....
Definitely my favorite Petty song.
The definition of unexpected greatness.
Saw them do this tune during the Hard Promises tour of 1981. It was a huge hit back then. It was definitely one of the premier songs of that tour. Thanks for those memories to Tom and the rest of the Heartbreakers 💘.
saw that tour also, unbelievable........
Me too! One of his greatest of many great songs!
Stan Lynch was such a big part of the original Heartbreakers pounding those great drum beats and singing that great back up. It was a shame When he & Tom split ways.
The band was never the same. He was such a huge personality on stage
@@Boatdockmlh1 He was HILARIOUS... loved the bio .. arranging groupies on the bus; going off with Tom's hero Bob Dylan in Las Vegas to watch Frank Sinatra; he was also a fucking shit disturber and Benmont Tench when drinking which was still going on during Full Moon Fever which was the real reason I believe it was nominally a solo album was and is not to be trusted frankly no matter how much I respect his musical genius.

FROM FRANCE.He was so handsome and he sang so well!He had everything going for him.Beautiful sexy.What’s weird about the comment isn’t stands out.Concerning me the two most beautiful rockers of those years were him and Benjamin Orr from CARS.
This song, IMHO, was so simple, but the way he sings it - he makes it deep.❤️ Miss you Tom Petty!🙏
Absolute Classic

Whole heartedly agree with you! There’s been recent specials Benmont & Mike have opened up a bit.
An absolute legend. May he Rest In Peace.
One of Tom Petty's many great songs! Love this one!
Damn musical powerhouse.love Tom
Always loved this one.
My favorite Tom Petty song. I saw him in concert in the 80s. He is great live!
Man did Tom have a way with writing tunes but damn did benmont not steal the show every time… what a banging riff totally driven by the keys *chefs kiss*
He calms me down with his voice
Oh how I love watching these live videos! I’m so fortunate that I got to see Tom Petty live a few times. He was the real deal!!!
Really miss this guy and his band.
He was incredible.
Beautiful.
SOOO GOOD!!!! LOVE IT! AND ALL OF EM!
I saw him in 89! What a show! R.I.P. Tom! You are missed!
El mundo necesita más artistas como Tom
R.i.p tom 🤠
This really sounds good..Thanks!..Got Howie
Oh geez Tom, its been exactly two years ago- miss you-Rip 😃👏!!
Legend
I love that haircut. Business in the front, party in the back😂😂😂
Don't think it about you can go crazy brought me through those foolish years of thinking love can make changes in a mean individual
Much like the Grateful Dead and a select few others, he didn't belong to a genre. He was his own genre.
ROCK N ROLL
Underated is an overused word these days, but it definitely applies to Mike Campbell's brilliant guitar work.
That intro is so catchy. Love it!
Please Rest In Peace Tom
Oh, Howie, why........ Anyway, I consider this the best Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song. Only my opinion, of course, but there you have it.
I miss Tom and Eddie Money more than I ever thought I would
I have to say Benmont Tench's intro was incredible; aside from that what was it about Tom Petty that would make people soar to the clouds and then want to commit suicide?

She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
She don't want to know
She's a woman in love, she can't let go
Time after time, night after night
She would look up at me and say she was lonely
I don't understand the world today
I don't understand what she needed
I gave her everything, she threw it all away on nothin'
She's a woman in love
She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
She don't want to see
She's a woman in love, but it's not me
Love his music
He's in quite a HAVEN' -
Yes, I meant Haven!! -🎸
& I'm sure he's having a hell of a time. No doubt still rocking all the while...
Looming down at us all, with gratitude knowing we're still enjoying his work...
Yet probably trying to shout📡📣 out to us all - my shell may be gone...
Yet I'm still just as alive as ever...
Just in another form;
In Spirit as most would relate to.
So don't cry for me...
Remember me.

I love you ❤️
Omg I love him soooooo much!!!
Rest in peace

That intro, tho.
Benmon'ts piano intro is lovely
I surely will miss the heart breakers Tom rip
I don't know who wrote that song. I don't know the back story. But I know he feels it. I feel it too.
It's about him being in love with Stevie Nicks
yes
I sure Hope Tom is resting in peace. I also hope he would be okay with me finding a new band that I really like too, called We Are Scientists.
TPATH until the day I die...then I’ll get to play with Tom
