@marysimon I mixed things up, that one in Gainesville, I know. The concert I was referring to is entitled 2003 USA Tour. Do you know where to find this for sale, or know where they played on that venue? Sorry for the confusion Mary. I can't believe that I graduated from the U of Florida in Gainesville, but never got to see them! I did see Jefferson Starship there though when I graduated in '81. Thank you and take care.
The day the music truly died was when Tom passed away. The band had an unbeatable synergy. To think this song is basically 3 chords. And what they can do with that! Tom Petty forever!
It was always great to see Tom live, especially outdoors at night. He knew how to work the crowd and at any time during any song he could hold his mic, point it to the crowd and we all took over singing vocals for him. I truly believe he let us sing to give his voice some breaks so he could play longer. Tom loved and respected us as much as we still love and respect him.
The most humble musician on the planet. Loved his fans and never took them for granted. If there’s a rock ‘n’ roll Heaven, they really do have a helluva band!
Same here, I don't think the death of any musician (apart from maybe Bowie) affected me so much, I just felt, and still feel, such a connection to his music each and every day... He lives on in our hearts and our ability to show others just how special he was! As the great man once said... You and I, will meet again... I really hope this is true
If you want to know how a rock band should sound, look no further than this. The groove, the timing, the way the tones and parts are layered, the way they create space in the song for each other, the dynamics from the quiet instrumental breakdown all the way to full kickass mode in the last chorus. An absolute clinic, one of the best bands ever, and such a loss. RIP Mr. Petty, you are sorely missed.
Have you read Conversations with Tom Petty by Paul Zollo, who is a musicologist? So much attention paid to the W.Zanes bio but this was ALLLLL about the music. To be treasured. Also was surprised and delighted by David Byrne's What Music Means. And yes, Tom Petty who died of a surfeit of responsibility to his audience, unique in that respect is indeed sorely missed. I was sorry that his widow Dana has been getting flack for the posthumous release of American Treasure; with Benmont Tench, they collected from the archives tracks that meant something to them, out of love. A creepy journalist had Dana in tears; absolute bully. No place for that sort of behaviour. Tx for post; we could go on and on ...
@@evelynbaron2004 Tom left his estate equally to Dana and his 2 daughters. She should have gotten their approval before doing anything. That was his wish. I love Tom and the fact that he loved his daughters equally. He was a good man. Truly missed.
The one departed rock and roller I just simply regret not ever seeing live in concert. 🤯🤬There will never be another Tom Petty. Thanks for posting these tremendous performances that I never went to see.
I miss Tom Petty so damn much. I saw him almost every time he was in DC/MD/VA. I even went to one of his concerts with a broken leg. He was a genius. He made life so easy to see and to figure out. His music, his lyrics and his voice were so perfectly melded. A once in a lifetime human being.
I remember hearing Tom Petty for the first time, And still it feels like the first time... Many many many years later Please let this music live forever...
Woke up with a TP tune in my head, "You move me, honey, you make it all right", etc. Love it. Sorry to see you go, my friend but your music is always in my head, to some degree or other. RIP Tom.
This song was the song of our separation and I belted it out everytime my husband would pick the kids up!!! We did reunite but he knew when I sang it where we were in our marriage 😉. I miss both my husband and TP who died within a year of each other💔🥺.
I so miss Mr. Tom Petty, a true American Rock Star, as a guitar player myself, he and the Heartbreakers, Mike, made 3 chords sound like much more. The turnaround of 3 chords with a break, so simple, so elegant, so damn good. What a talent he is, heaven holds one of our best. Tom, you may be gone from us but your music will live forever, Thank You so much.
I'm also a guitar player, and I want to know why Tom Petty barely played on this tune, and when he did the volume was almost down all the way. There was a third guitar player way over on the right that was clearly handling the rhythm, while the UF guy played the lead. The rhythm player was almost completely left out of the video. Any ideas? Inquiring minds want to know!
Mike Campbell ladies and gentlemen! Never overplays and when he does play it’s always a part that I would be happy to have come up with if I were called to play on that particular session. The KING of catchy, tasteful, and melodic guitar playing.
Yes. Such sweet pleasure at the time we all need it the most. I am saddened by his death. I am a chronic pain patient. He was in a lot of pain and he was not able to get the proper medical treatment. He was viewed as a drug seeker and he had no choice but to turn to the streets. And he had no idea that what he was getting was laced with fentanyl. I am just thankful that he is not here to witness the Civil Unrest and suffering that is in our future. That would have really hurt him to his core. There will never be another TOM PETTY!
Genuine. Sincere. Down-to-earth. Gifted. American. Tom Petty you always kicked ass! Thank YOU. Thank YOU! THANK YOU for forty years of great Rock N Roll! I'm gonna miss 'ya. (greatly)
Tom was the nicest man I ever met..So devoted to his fans. He was a musical genius.The best, Millions will miss him, so sad, Tom has passed on. We LOVE YOU TOM.♥♥♥
He creates one of the sweetest breaks in any rock song, with the quiet passage in the middle-and then the perfect, effortless climax as the band crashes back in to rescue every boy who ever stood, invisible, at the high school dance...
There were us invisible girls at the high school dance too. Wish we coulda found each other back then. And so we graduated, then off we went into that Great Wide Open. Few years, decades go by....we finally shed the braces, the glasses, grew into our bodies, found something we loved doing-and were getting paid for it! We made a road trip back to the hometown-I dunno, maybe some family thing/function. And all those girls who never saw you, and all those boys who never saw us, well, they never went anywhere except precipitous marriages, irretrievably broken by 25, 26, couple kids later, old, cynical long before their time: Girls look hard, used up, the guys look lost, broken, mean. And you, sir were spotted in town now smokin’ hawt and a great catch to all those girls who never saw you then but honey, they saw you now. Oh, did. they. ever..... And so do I. You truly are and always were a great guy, now a man and I hope every last “invisible guy at the high school dance” found a genuinely loving, sincere partner, the one you always deserved.
I remember being 13, just learning guitar and listening to Into the Great Wide Open (my first CD) and thinking, who is this guitar player, I want to be able to play like him :)
Randy Hogue Totally man...never plays out of line, just what sounds perfect for the song...but that's not to take away from his chops! The guy has serious skills
You're like I am. I'm just going from Tom Petty concert to Tom Petty concert and enjoying the hell out of it. And listening to the performance level in each as they got stronger and more assured. And then they just get out there to kick ass. God rest his soul. He certainly has helped my soul...
Mark Deats I gave Tom Petty my right arm! I have the broken heart guitar tatooed on my forearm in RED!!! Script around it, Thanks for the music Tom! I love it!
I worked in Tigert Hall at UF in the 90s....looked out the window one day and Tom Petty was walking down University Ave, all by himself....was so thrilled......good Ole Gainesville boy.....
Me again hearing his very soul go right head first into his music. Now he had nothing to lose, but to pour everything into this performance. I think and I believe...he knew his time here was done. Tom Petty was beginning to fly. Rest in Eternal Peace with the spirit of music to forever guide your flight, my friend, a fan and a fellow traveler.
Every time I think I have a favorite Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song, I remember another I like. These guys have so many classics. I love watching them perform. They look so joyful and into the moment.
will always miss Tom and the Heartbreakers .. saw them in a rainstorm in '06 at an outdoor venue, they were casual, upbeat and hard rocking .. and hard working .. great band
I was fortunate to meet Tom Petty back in 1990. He was the most nicest sincere man I ever spoken to. He did not have the..I am a rock star attitude..I have posted this on many of Tom's songs..He was just so nice and down to earth. I miss him and I can not stop my tears for him.We LOVE you Tom, ROCK IN PEACE..You are at the room at the top.
@@bazwookie yes and Tom lived for his fans, in his last show before his death he had a broken hip, was taken so many pain killers, as well....to this day I cry, Tom was a gem of a man..I spent a few hours talking with him, back in 1990..Very humble, very intelligent, and very sincere..I miss him so much.
Man I miss these guys. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were the best. I have followed them right from the start. I lived in FL for over 40 years, 2 of it in Gainesville. There were likenesses of Tom painted on numerous buildings and walls outside UF. He was indeed the Gainesville "Prodigal Son".
Tom Petty Legend I saw several times they do not make them like that anymore. Nobody ever has revived rock and roll throughout the years! Yeah all he did right was live his life like a normal person. And it will be forever until you see them on the other side? Sure do miss the king and truly the pure rock and roll band not to mention the bluesy feel the music put out? TP put out the real s*** all the time. Right now I miss him much Much respect. Bobby
I first came to Tom Petty in the late seventies, and he and the Heartbreakers were a fresh breath of kickass, melody-forward bar band rock in an era of overboard stadium rock...still one of the GOAT.
Gainesville born & raised, I was at this show in 2006; His last concert in G'ville. Even sat 4th row! I've watched the songs from this show MANY times over. I never get tired of them, and they bring back irreplaceable moments. Godspeed, Tommy!! Sparks in Daytona
Had seeing Tom and the band on my bucket list. One of the last items. Finally got to see Tom and the band in Montreal on what would be the final tour. Magnificent night of musicians at their peak. RIP Tom and thank you for the music.
Something that's not mentioned very often is, Tom put together one helluva band... and he conducted it perfectly! Gotta give him high fives on that one!!!!!
Saw Petty in Edmonton, AB, Canada. This was the show opener and it just went up from there. K97 the local classic rock radio station held a "do you know the lyrics to this TP song" contest for a month before the show. By the fifth song with the crowd all singing along Tom was saying "Far out!" in his inimitable southern drawl. He talked to the crowd for TEN MINUTES just before closing the show saying how he and the band felt it was one of the best nights they had ever experienced, and he promised to be back. Sadly, death took him before he could keep his promise. I've seen over 100 top shows including Pink Floyd, Blue Oyster Cult, The Moody Blues, Roxy Music, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan (twice), Genesis, Elton John, The Police, The Eagles and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were and still are THE LAST WORD in live shows!!
I miss you, Tom Petty. I was lucky enough to attend a few concerts. The last time I saw you was surrounded by the mountains in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. You stopped singing and had spot lights on two people in the crowd that you noticed fighting. Your kind words of "come on, let's have peace... and love" instantly quieted down, or embarrassed them through all of our eyes on them. We all came away from the concert thinking if you were not already a fan of Tom Petty you would be now after watching this gentle man play great rock and roll. A great musician and person.
I forgot all about this one until the radio played it a few months ago! My fav along with I Wanna Know. Takes me right back to early Tom in the late 70’s early 80’s.
I totally agree. I've been fortunate in both the quality and quantity of music I've seen. There's a fine line between it being"effortless" and " phoning it in" . I don't think they had a quarter, if you know what I mean. Shit. Have you ever seen Irma Thomas? She sings with this downright ease and grace, like falling out of bed. At the same time though, she is totally listening to the band. I think Tom and Mike have that. I also thought Howie Epstein was underrated. I never saw a bad Heartbreakers gig.
We will not see the likes of this again in this lifetime. Consummate American musicianship on display here. This is what professional musicians sound like after working together for 40 years. Steve Ferrone is a marvel and his timing is incredible but I still miss Stan for the incredible groove and chemistry he brought to the Heartbreakers and to Tom in particular. I think of Tom Petty often and what a truly unique and real person he was in every sense - no bullshit - just pure love for the music in the highest regard. RIP good sir. Not sure I’ll ever get over the loss. I’m forever thankful for UA-cam for the chance to visit these moments of greatness in time.
I LOVE this band! Always have always will! They wreck me honey, they break me in two! Still great after all these years! Old rockers are the best! ♥ Love Mike Campbell on that guitar ♥♥♥
Tom has this grace...effortless....in sync with everything....his best shows flowed through the audience and back over the band. Mike Campbell is brilliant.
So - just found out Tommy died tonight- and just started watching some concert hits here - that I didn't get to see live..Just was comforting and classic and awesome!!!!
I think this may have been one of Tom‘s favorite songs! He certainly loves performing this and it appears to me that everybody is at the top of their form! It’s a joy to watch and a wonderful feeling comes through watching folks perform something that they certainly love! This is a fabulous video - and thank you so much!
@@MrSTOUT73 He is doing well. Saw FM at the Forum a few months ago. Also saw the original Dirty Knobs with Mike, Ron Blair, Steve Ferrone, Jason SInay, and a fabulous keyboard player whose name escapes me. Missed Benmont. But they sounded fantastic! (Both FM & the DKs.) Cannot wait for the Knobs' upcoming album and tour!
Who else is listening to Tom for the 1000th time?! We're still with you Tom
Can't ever have too much TP, just sayin'

We were wandering in a desert of pop and disco and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers saved us.

I've been listening to Tom Petty since 1979 and wont stop until I'm 6 ft under.
Maybe have a stone that plays Tom Petty and the heartbreakers, i would have liked to have that

The greatest American rock band of all time period.
Certainly in the discussion
nope, that recognition goes to the one and only grateful dead... who tom and company loved and tried to copy.
Mike Campbell with ease on lead. So smooth and effortless. In a class of his own.
He just makes it look so damn easy.

R.I.P. Tom. Thanks for providing the soundtrack to my youth.
@tommcfadden5232 McFadden? OK pat n brother, brookhurst/ Hamilton. 🤣🤣🤣
Tom taught me "Just play dumb whatever you know " I practice it daily lol
I was the boy in the corduroy pants in the early 70's. This song, in a few lines, captures a time and a feeling of how I felt back then.
I agree 10000%
What does your boss say about that?
Is that your excuse?
Damn, that's truly amazing. What a gifted band. I miss you Tom

I was so lucky, I got to see Tom Petty and Bob Dylan together in the mid 80's. Best live show I ever saw.
I feel your pain
Me too. Regret never seeing him in concert.
You missed some great shows!
Saw him many times but the Red Rocks show was the "Top of The World" best!!
No matter how many years pass, this music will never grow old .
TRUER THAN TRUE!!
The meaning of Timeless right here in one song!!
That's right
He was BADASS
Totally agree!👍🎸💯
This man was a musical genius. 50 years from now anyone listening to this masterpiece will be entertained beyond how I feel listening to the gem.
I just love the Grateful Dead vibe in the middle

"You Wreck Me" is amazing......one of my favs. And yes, Mike is the most underrated lead rock guitarists of all time. He's wonderful.
Yes he is very underrated and so isn't Lindsey Buckingham !!! They both are
True
Mary Coffey. Mike Campbell is now the lead guitarist for Fleetwood Mac not a bad transition after Toms passing to a new band god bless him..✌️😎
Mike is an amazing lead guitar player.
Yep, he would blow sky-dogs mind.
Tom Petty (and band) will always be legend. One of a kind rocker.
The GOAT imo!
The way the crowd sings back to him is unrivaled. I’ve seen almost 200 major shows no one does or did it as well as Tom’s fans

So good.
Underrated at every single level. This is how a band sounds. Love me some Petty and the Heartbreakers. TIMELESS.
Tom Petty Legend I saw several times they do not make them like that anymore. Nobody ever has revived rock and roll throughout the years! Yeah all he did right was live his life like a normal person. And it will be forever until you see them on the other side? Sure do miss the king and truly the pure rock and roll band not to mention the bluesy feel the music put out? TP put out the real s*** all the time. Right now I miss him much Much respect. Bobby
Just can't stop listening to this, fantastic
Let it Rock!
Thank you Tom, thank you Heartbreakers.
All the Best from Bavaria. 🎩
Without a doubt the best live performance Petty has ever done.Five stars plus!!!
Man... when they kick it back in towards the end... so awesome
Yea for real!!
Mike Campbell..... Wow! One of the most underrated guitar players of all time.
Tom being tom. The Best
I first came to Tom Petty in the late seventies, and he and the Heartbreakers were a fresh breath of kickass, melody-forward bar band rock in an era of overboard stadium rock...still one of the GOAT.
Hi Jim, how are you doing today
Gainesville born & raised, I was at this show in 2006; His last concert in G'ville. Even sat 4th row! I've watched the songs from this show MANY times over. I never get tired of them, and they bring back irreplaceable moments. Godspeed, Tommy!! Sparks in Daytona
Hello Steven, how are you doing today
Best ever, tom petty, no replacement, best artist, ever, so missed. Played with conviction and passion, what a blessing, God bless us.
This is the VERY BEST LIVE CAPTURE OF THE HEARTBREAKERS LIVE on this Song!!! They Killed it during this session!!!
Had seeing Tom and the band on my bucket list. One of the last items. Finally got to see Tom and the band in Montreal on what would be the final tour. Magnificent night of musicians at their peak. RIP Tom and thank you for the music.
Yeah yeah yeah Baby, can't sit when this song is playin!
My first time taking lead vocals for an entire song was this one. Miss you TP, but thanks for the awesome songs
May the rock legend rest easy. Loved his work
Yes. Never tire of You Wreck Me.
Something that's not mentioned very often is, Tom put together one helluva band... and he conducted it perfectly! Gotta give him high fives on that one!!!!!
Saw Petty in Edmonton, AB, Canada. This was the show opener and it just went up from there. K97 the local classic rock radio station held a "do you know the lyrics to this TP song" contest for a month before the show. By the fifth song with the crowd all singing along Tom was saying "Far out!" in his inimitable southern drawl. He talked to the crowd for TEN MINUTES just before closing the show saying how he and the band felt it was one of the best nights they had ever experienced, and he promised to be back. Sadly, death took him before he could keep his promise.
I've seen over 100 top shows including Pink Floyd, Blue Oyster Cult, The Moody Blues, Roxy Music, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan (twice), Genesis, Elton John, The Police, The Eagles and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were and still are THE LAST WORD in live shows!!
I miss you, Tom Petty. I was lucky enough to attend a few concerts. The last time I saw you was surrounded by the mountains in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. You stopped singing and had spot lights on two people in the crowd that you noticed fighting. Your kind words of "come on, let's have peace... and love" instantly quieted down, or embarrassed them through all of our eyes on them. We all came away from the concert thinking if you were not already a fan of Tom Petty you would be now after watching this gentle man play great rock and roll. A great musician and person.
I forgot all about this one until the radio played it a few months ago! My fav along with I Wanna Know. Takes me right back to early Tom in the late 70’s early 80’s.
You know you have an excellent guitar player if it looks easy. And Mike makes it look so easy. But he's one of the best I've ever heard!
Check out Mike play this at the O2 in Dublin show in 2012....simply unbelievable.
I totally agree. I've been fortunate in both the quality and quantity of music I've seen. There's a fine line between it being"effortless" and " phoning it in" . I don't think they had a quarter, if you know what I mean. Shit. Have you ever seen Irma Thomas? She sings with this downright ease and grace, like falling out of bed. At the same time though, she is totally listening to the band. I think Tom and Mike have that. I also thought Howie Epstein was underrated. I never saw a bad Heartbreakers gig.
Greatest American Rock and roll band to walk this earth. I’m lucky enough to see them 4 times in my short life. RIP Petty.
We will not see the likes of this again in this lifetime. Consummate American musicianship on display here. This is what professional musicians sound like after working together for 40 years. Steve Ferrone is a marvel and his timing is incredible but I still miss Stan for the incredible groove and chemistry he brought to the Heartbreakers and to Tom in particular. I think of Tom Petty often and what a truly unique and real person he was in every sense - no bullshit - just pure love for the music in the highest regard. RIP good sir. Not sure I’ll ever get over the loss. I’m forever thankful for UA-cam for the chance to visit these moments of greatness in time.
the Gator Guitar is a blast..........!! Awesome Mike!
I LOVE this band! Always have always will! They wreck me honey, they break me in two! Still great after all these years! Old rockers are the best! ♥ Love Mike Campbell on that guitar ♥♥♥
The Dude can play that Guitar is right ! Incredible !!!
Go Gators, in the name of Mike Campbell. From one Gator to another!
Song writer, arranger and performer extraordinaire. Thank you Tom and the Heartbreakers.
God! I love this song. What a great live version. Saw Petty and the Heartbreakers twice. Both were great. So thankfull for that. RIP.
These lads seem to be having fun plus being musical geniuses
Tom has this grace...effortless....in sync with everything....his best shows flowed through the audience and back over the band. Mike Campbell is brilliant.
Incredible song....solo by Campbell is priceless....
EVERY solo Cambell does is pricesless, yes?
@Michele Romeo You’re priceless too ✌️
@@mondoseguendo6113 what does the hand signal mean?
@Michele Romeo It’s the peace sign.
So - just found out Tommy died tonight- and just started watching some concert hits here - that I didn't get to see live..Just was comforting and classic and awesome!!!!
Tom Petty music will live on for generations. We were blessed to have him. Steve is wonderful on the drums doesn't miss a beet
Love this song. Love this band. Mike absolutely kills it on that guitar he's so bad ass amazing. So sad Tom is gone. He was awesome
eu te amo patti beijos
Me too. He was awesome! An American rocker"s rocker all the way! Rest in Peace Tom Petty.
A little Jerry Garcia vibe going on in the breakdown.
Petty you will forever be in my heart!!! I know you are still rockin' up in heaven and it sounds awesome!!
I think this may have been one of Tom‘s favorite songs! He certainly loves performing this and it appears to me that everybody is at the top of their form! It’s a joy to watch and a wonderful feeling comes through watching folks perform something that they certainly love! This is a fabulous video - and thank you so much!
Mike Campbell is right up there with the likes of Angus , Page , Blackmore and maybe even Gilmore. He's got the gift.
I love Tom Petty alone and with The HeartBreakers or The Travelling Wilburys. An honest rocker and a great composer and musician.
It doesn't get any better than this. We miss you Tom!
One of the best live bands ever thanks for all the memory's Tom
Just superb. Dance and sing. I so miss Tom Petty and his band.
One of the best musicians ever!!! RIP Tom Petty, you'll be missed!
He was taken before his time. One of the finest. R.I.P Tom. You are already sadly missed.
John Hebert -way before his time ....why,I ask,why ???
Never get tired of listening to a "real band" who knows what their doing. They were all very good individually, but they were GREAT together.
R.I.P old friend. Your music will never fade away.
Mike Campbell's guitar solo kills me! OMG
I think he will do well with Fleetwood Mac.
@@MrSTOUT73 He is doing well. Saw FM at the Forum a few months ago. Also saw the original Dirty Knobs with Mike, Ron Blair, Steve Ferrone, Jason SInay, and a fabulous keyboard player whose name escapes me. Missed Benmont. But they sounded fantastic! (Both FM & the DKs.) Cannot wait for the Knobs' upcoming album and tour!
One of my favorites...thank you Tom for 40 years of amazing Music!
It's like watching an angel on stage.
No ego, pure energy
