Learning to Fly - Tom Petty w/ Stevie Nicks

[phobosforever]

Such a beautiful song .. defines life somehow I feel ...

[Slowcheetah8893]

Holy shit!! He sounded like Eddie vedder a lit bit!!! Totally stoked performance man!

[swiggy58a]

@Slowcheetah8893 Eddie Vedder? Who the hell is that? (Yeah. I've heard of the Punk! He can't hold a CANDLE to Mr. Tom Petty though!)

Eddie Vedder?

Who CARES about Eddie Vedder?

[oceanv1]

It's so nice to hear a live version of this song...Wonderful !!

[helfen420]

chills chills chillls

[painnotpleasure]

My favorite live performance, my favorite Tom Petty song, simply amazing. I like the live performance of "Learning To Fly" better than the recording, but then you throw in Stevie Nicks and such an electric crowd... chills.

[thepoplar3]

brilliant stuff no doubt.

[thedork27]

Ahh This Made Me Wanna Cry:'(

<3

Love Your Lyrics TOM!:D<3

[Mookdi17]

this is the best live song i've ever heard. and im 87 years old and been to 1000's of concerts. kidding. im 19 in my first year of uni, just finished my last exam, only one left on my rez floor and pretty much my building, getttin drunk by myself and got this on replay. either way, tom petty is amazing.

[supervespertine]

Fantastic!!

[RatDog67]

Fucking chills out the ass..... I was on this tour... I hit about 6 shows. NYC were my Favs

[wookii13]

goosebumps..........

[WatchYourAttitude]

This is so soothing and peaceful. Amazing!

[15SusiQ]

get miley cirus off of my screen! it's insulting to these videos, particularly this one. incredible.

[32Eazye]

Two of my favorite singers ever together!

[kammhron]

Love em all! Thanx.

[shanbromylife]

love it, love it BLOODY LOVE IT !!!!

[dajesusblues]

Spectacular

[Mookdi17]

my buddy said he didnt believe in magic. i showed him this. to say he believes now would be an understatement. Tom Petty will do that to you.

[TheJohnnywadd]

Who in the hell could dislike this? This is absolutely beautiful

[rockcarfeather]

Fly over your worries today.



[MelissaMary52]

This is the definition of epic. There is NO ONE better than Petty.

[xtracool32]

It's weird that all those Conservatives in Gainesville would be so receptive to Tom Petty.

[gores95]

Freakin' awesome. WTG Tom!

[supervespertine]

Krijg er nog altijd de kriebels van, super.

[sniffy6999999]

He gets me right in the guts -brill, beautiful,bloody amazin.

[feilog]

Was Tom a guest at a Fleetwood Mac concert? If not, why was Stevie there?

[brennanh31]

@feilog Stevie was a guest at his concert. If you watch the documentary Running Down A Dream Stevie says she would have left Fleetwood Mac if Tom would have asked her

[DanSVT03]

Tom Petty is the man.

[thomesocksup]

Hey, if I heard the songs performed just like they did on the album, that would be awesome cause most groups that go on tour sound like crap live.

[buckleheid]

felt this many times

[jfelipino]

such simple words, so much meaning

[Cadillac2000Escalade]

I absolutely LOVE this version!!!

[wdizz1]

Tom Petty - SPECIAL!!!!!

[TTgorgeousgalandmom1]

Love it you have this video! It is won of the best! These two performers voices go together like two souls meant to be intertwinned for eternity. I always wonderered if Tom Petty and Steve Nicks loved each other which caused Miss Nicks not to fall into love with Lindsey... We may never know the personal life Miss Stevie Nicks keeps in her heart! I just wish her the best in her musical life; she has our love!

[BlackRoseImmortal]

So Awesome!

[grizzlylegend]

i can't possibly put into words how much i love this song !!!. simply the best ever

[christinahale14]

love the words!

[patrick13ify]

masterpiece best performance by Tom in his 30 yrs of performing

[BestMattBeast]

Life is strange. I pulled an all nighter feeling a little depressed. It's 8:00am right now and right at the piano solo at about 1:48 the biggest flash of sunlight comes through my window. I don't know why but I really got me thinking.

[littlepigeon123]

this song is the anthem to my life.its my abloute favorite song in the whole wide world and there absolutely no way i could possibly play this song loud enough.

[98michellesanders]

I love Tom Petty and having Stevie as a backround singer is truly a treat!!!

[dbrb253630]

This performance is gold, Tom was in the zone with this one!

[Christico50]

this is so beautiful

[xxnumetalqueenxx]

best thing ive seen in a long time amazing

[jokers412]

what is this masterpiece? Tom petty! bitch

[helfen420]

4 dislikes, anyone who thinks this sucks doesnt know $hit

[helfen420]

FML i would kill someone to this song..seriously

[DullTorpor]

Awesome, but didn't really hear Ms. Nicks much.

[zach15x]

fucking epic

[RockRhythms]

... at the end when when Petty prayed over the crowed chanting the chorus I lost it. Four simple chords but what makes the song addictive is that the transition between the chords happens a bit sooner than expected which create a feeling of forever moving forward. Epic.

[grizzlylegend]

is it possible for a song to be too good ?

[swiggy58a]

@grizzlylegend No. It's NOT!

But this one comes pretty Damned CLOSE!

Don't it ? !! ?

[frusciantenc]

What a great one

[spillpower]

Best music ever, might paly it again :-)

[689moose]

Tom Petty, plus Her Grace, Ms. Stevie Nicks. They know how to grab hold of your emotions...Beautiful.

[signorearturi]

Someone said Stevie Nicks could sing next to anybody. I think it was Tom Petty! Magnificent Tom, magnificent Stevie, thank rock and roll for gems like these

[dbrb253630]

Words cannot describe this awesome performance - this is classic.

[EvanM4120]

I cover this song with my band at all of our shows. We're a pop/punk band. xD

[mad0314]

You know a song is good when people listen to it 20 years later instead of being considered "old" 3 months after its release and being tossed asside never to be heard again like most music today.

[audioslave84]

how could ANYONE dislike this awesome piece of REAL music?! come on dude!

[whpriol1]

Tom Petty's best song of all time right here in my opinion. And it came later in his career. What is amazing about Tom Petty unlike the great majority of musicians is that he kept getting better and growing as a musician. His first few albums were great, but not his best albums. You can't say that for many bands who fail to live up to their earlier success.

[miffybhoy]

phenomenal

[sgtpepper1138]

@Shaung1231 he's using EGGZ, their like little shakers. Do a Google search for EGGZ shakers, you'll see what they are.

[standback]

I love Stevie's harmony on this song. It's beautiful.

[versatilians]

Amazing!!

[COREYA73]

Amazing,so simple yet very powerful...

[elevation261]

Speachless..... the best version of this great song ....

[NYCChinadoll79]

My life's anthem <3 I would've loved to have been at this show!!

[grizzlylegend]

god i love this song !

[SEVFEST]

all stevie is doing is waving her clothes around and looking pretty Tom does all the work here LOL

[Micaiii]

great song =)

[coolkoolaids1]

The first time i heard this song, i fell in love with it immidiatley....and this year, 2011, i'm graduating to Gr.7 and i'm thinking of having this song for my graduation.....and he's a singer that can actually sound amazing live.

PS: Amazing And Beautiful Song.

[IFlipDaScripI]

THIS IS EPIC !!!

[camberwellcarrot68]

@IFlipDaScripI Thats v funny - EPIC was the bands first name, then came mudcrutch and finally TP and the Heartbreakers!

[paul06660]

That guitar I must say sounds so good.

[L3dang]

those 3 people that disliked this seriously needs to consider having their ears checked for tone deafness....

[03800rev]

@L3dang they are the 3 guys sucking dick at a justin b concert Love this song

[TheE1961]

Seen this tour in Buffalo N.Y. @ six flags Stevie Nick's was'nt with him that evening,my loss,because to have Stevie Nick's as your back up singer...........ya know.Tom was truly fantastic as usual and he had the Allman Brothers as the back up band.

[TDavis007]

Love this performance!

[MrLeabs]

"LEARNING TO FLY", yes, this song makes me feel like i have no troubles in the world. Tom Petty, keep singing.

[Janice11353]

Gives me goose bumps.

[Rkballerman]

I Couldn't Hear This Loud Enough!!...I Swear...I Couldn't!! ;))

[yolowell]

Well that was just amazing.

[DerNichtVegetarier]

weeeeeeeeeeeeer hat hier keine ahnung von musik!?

[frankmaiello]

Rock on...

[LinedanceOpiAndy]

i like it its great

[bonkersblock]

Bob Dylan's all over Toms voice..

[Elchamo2OO8]

2 people can't learn to fly.

[alicemeissnerova]

this is so beautiful ....

[supervespertine]

Very Nice song. Kippevel !!

[EDJ1845]

When GOD created music...this is what he had in mind.

[77Amyy]

2 idiots that dont know good music!!!

[MrBlaububble]

voll kacke

[feelingood777]

@MrBlaububble

Du bist KACKE!!!!!!!!! Hast halt keinen Schimmer von Musik!!!!!!

Na ja, solche Dummschwätzer wie Dich gibts halt leider immer wieder!!!!!

Guter Tipp Alter, hör doch das was Dir reinläuft, oder zwingt Dich jemand das zu hörn?

[MrBlaububble]

@feelingood777 ich sag doch nur meine meinung warumm reagierst du so aggressiv wirst du gemobbt und freust dich weil hier ein auf wichtig spielen darfst oda was?!

scheiß kind

[feelingood777]

@MrBlaububble

Na dann denk das nächste Mal vorher nach, bevor Du etwas schreibst.

Mußt mal lernen mit Kritik umzugehen Alter!!!!!!!!!!!

Wie schon erwähnt, es zwingt Dich keiner, egal welche Mucke, zu hörn!!!!!!

Und was soll eigentlich das Wort das Du zum Schluß geschrieben hast, ,,scheiß kind"?????

Daran merkt man wieviel Du in der Birne hast, genausoviel wie ein Apfel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheAKAJACKIE]

yeah they got it right

[Rkballerman]

Simply Amazing!!!

[mars1pan]

I would've loved if you actually heard Stevie a bit more.

[serpentisma]

that was so beautiful. i've never cried so much to such a wonderful song. thanks for posting.

[Knaddii]

absolutely awesome !!! 

[wendihowieson]

2 of my favourite artists tom and stevie.....love them both x

[omarkaka227]

i love it

[mojoquilt]

never mind stevie nicks' backing vocals, from 3:15 the crowd have Tom Petty doing backing vocals for them!!! how cool is that!!! ??

[garyshu71]

Stevie wanted to be in the band. The Heartbreakers would have had a heartbreaker!!!

[nameless989]

man i got goosebumps after 3:15 when everyone is singin...those are the moments that keep me coming back to concerts..fuckin awesome!

[CaptainPrad]

My most favorite song of all time. I'm curious to know, does anybody know why he performs it acoustically nowadays rather than the full version with drums and everything?

[sam22545]

my top 5 musical influenes

AC/DC

Airbourne

Iron Maiden

Black Sabbath

And TOM PETTY!!!

haha wont see that too ofter

[111sunder]

Wow, i cannot believe 2 people dislike this. I guess they listen to something else while they eat puppies & kittens w/ Hitler.

[1danrobbins]

Stevie, Stevie, you are the best. And your participation in this song just further demonstrates it. Her authentic touch to this best Petty song just makes it that much more awesome.

[silenzio111]

me too, I am learning to fly. 

[TheGavinh32]

all time fav song and how awsome live ,what a pity he wouldnt let stevie in the band full time oh well never mind no girls in the heartbreakers.

[U2Purple]

one of the best songs ever!!!

[steviefanforever]

I love mike's expression at 3:21 its like:: up he's got them all draw in to the song!

[WildGunman77]

This version doesn't jam whatsoever. Where's the drums? I hate when bands change their stuff from the album. I'd be pissed if I paid a ton of money to see Tom Petty and heard this.

[daliksheppy]

@WildGunman77 I actually disagree, I would hate it if I paid money and I just heard exactly the same song as I had already heard on the album. That would be a waste of money.

[TheHassenger]

This performance is amazing u can really appreciate the clarity in Tom's voice & how great he is actually sounding! How could any1 want an album version when 3:16 is just awesome; I really wish I could have been there. All that said, I can, kind of, see where WildGunman77 is coming from & if the drums & full band had kicked in at some point I think the roof may well have come off! Personally, I would not have minded if it was 10 minutes longer and it finished with the adlibs like in the video :)

[sgtpepper1138]

@WildGunman77 I personally think this is great, Doesn't sound like the thousands of audience members minded.

[Warcraft20101]

when the crowd sings and tom sings along and goosebumps and then to see the beautifull oh so beautifull stevie .. this just makes ur day :):):)

[biffa15]

Ridiculously good!!

[JuseJamez]

phenomenal

[sam22545]

this song is more addicting than heroin......

[Lastman0nEarth]

@sam22545 ...not to mention somewhat less horrific.

[sam22545]

@sam22545 haha way less

[LHcountryboy1]

@sam22545 ..an' without all those pesky withdraw'l symptoms..... =))

[paulc792009]

@sam22545 hey there, the correct term is 'addictive'.  not 'addicting'

[sam22545]

@paulc792009 or we can just enjoy the music instead of split hairs, because I did get my point across.

[MrEllenwork]

I forgot about the Petty song and was thinking that Stevie and Tom were covering Pink Floyd! That would be cool.

This is too though. : )

[fredienet]

wow!!! HQ ... i need this!!! rock!!!

[raveplants]

This is sooooooo beautiful. Wow!

[VerfresseneElfriede]

Einfach nur geil!

[Depro900]

long live T.P i got steve Ferrones drums sticks 3 times baby! He gave them to me.

[agwoodliffe]

Learning to fly? Baby, I am soaring whenever I listen to this.

[caddyshackman]

Actually last Friday, I was a back up singer for Tom...the thousands in the crowd and me. Too bad you weren't there Griizzly.

[standaniel]

simply religious

[elsWankos]

Damn you think that guy has enough keyboards?

[Gig55able]

To fly over my Worries is the hardest thing!

[chasemckerracher]

Anybody is a back up singer to Tom, Petty is GOD!!!

[chasemckerracher]

Anybody is a back up singer to Tom, Petty is GOD!!!

[BishopGarnier]

Excellent !

French Fan !

[bingegrab]

I saw him in Detroit for this tour. When he got the audience to sing along, I swear, it was the closest thing to a religious experience I've ever had.

[yaelleinthesky]

i cant love him more... :O

[LZEP332]

saw him a week ago in boston, simply amazing. if only more bands could hold it together over the years like they have

[matchboxpetty]

Superb, I 've loved Tom Petty for 25 years now, but living in the UK I've only got to see him twice. This version is just stunning.

[Joey78258]

This performance is a perfect example of true musicianship. It illustrates how low modern music has sunk. Look at the top ten song charts for the last few years: pure nonsense. When did we start to call rap music? And when did music standards fall so far? Tom Petty shows what a true musician is capable of. He has written a beautiful song and somehow has managed to perform it in a way that is stunning. Stevie Nicks adds magic and the audience is clearly mesmerized.

[jloeb4848]

SEEING THIS IN 5 DAYS IN TORONTO HOLY FUCK!

TOM PETTY IS A LEGEND

ONE OF THE BEST

[awsomo45]

Coming down is the hardest thing...

[MrTigre73]

increible que hermoso magico¡ un publico genial y un cantante magistral¡

[queeny42081]

petty is my legend

[TheE1961]

@LadyDi7409 What was your comment?that had to be removed??

[oceangroveNJgirl]

Stevie & Tom have been singing together for a long, long time.

[chbaseballisbest]

u mean wheels by foo fighters is similar to tom petty tom petty is not similar to anything lol

[hreminiomanuel]

simliar to wheels by the foo fighters

[blemelin]

If you knew Stevie at all, you would know she loves to sing backup vocals. And she is not wasted here. This is Tom's song and she knows her place. She often mentions what a blast she had on this tour.

[billsurf101]

Stevie Nickes and Tom go way back to the early 80's. 

[cavmusicnyc]

very cooooooollll

[houstonsober]

1.)Tom Petty

2.)Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks)

3.)The Eagles

Are the top 3 bands that have put an inpact on me.

[agwoodliffe]

@houstonsober fuckin' AAAAAAAmen

[ranjan1sri]

@houstonsober me too

[ChillerKarnickel]

wow what a crowd! what a artist! what a song!

just discovered him today and totally flashed

[AnnaMarie02010]

Love this song!  See you in October Tom!

[tlinn50]

Stevie is wasted here -- it should've been a duet. It's a great song, and making it a duet between Tom and Stevie would have made it chill-inducing.

[SpreadHopeLikeFire5]

I got Mad goosebumps from 3:30 on. Absolutely incredible. Fly over my worries, fly over my troubles.

[Tomos26]

the original chords are obviously G F C Am, what are they in this version?

[sam22545]

went to the show n vancouver tonite and it was amazing!!! everyone sung along to every single word!!!

[ncarver]

after Soulshine, this is my anthem. :-)

[primadonnaworld]

if anyone has an mp3 of this live i'd appreciate it.

I bought another live but this one is just superb.

[cnmrosko]

I got goose bumps too.

[KeeYaBitch]

I miss Howie's Vocals :(

[VanPelt101]

@KeeYaBitch Howie is sorely missed, yes. Very sad.

[KeeYaBitch]

@VanPelt101 I have been listening to Learning to Fly a lot over the last 2 weeks, I love hearing Howie's Voice in this song.

[VanPelt101]

@KeeYaBitch to say nothing of his playing! the band is stil great, but Howie was fantastic. if not for Benmont, Mike and of course Tom, it wouldn't really be the Heartbreakers.

[KeeYaBitch]

@VanPelt101 Agreed, There new Single "Something Good Coming" is amazing if you haven't heard it Yet.

[felixnittonhundra94]

fantastic

[lpcerqueira]

The song is fantastic
