[Money48666]

John mayer's version of this is much better but this is sill good don't get me wrong. For the person who said John Mayer is a "baby talkin bitch", he can sing 10x better than Tom petty ever could and mayer's guitar skills are far above average. Just because sum1's cover is better than original doesn't mean the old 1 isn't good nor the artist who did it

[MrPraz656]

@Money48666 Looks like you're a very young person. Hence....

[SwingRiots]

@Money48666 Depends what you're looking for in a singer. Mayer has a more traditionally good voice, but I couldn't care less when he's singing. I'd rather have someone who I believe when they're singing.

[test123ok]

so much classier than Janet and Justin Timberlake

[TheBruinsfan89]

Love this song

[TheRoaddog10t]

what does he say at about 2:14

[salito42]

go eagles

[zack90802]

This song reminds me of when I lived in California

[sweetmay73]

gave me chills...!! much better than this year's halftime show =_=

[MrIngaed]

giants defeat patriots for win superbowl, brady only have a 18 - 0 not win a superbowl

[MrTommyheddenstomboy]

There's alot of history in this song for me & my 2 girl's. It was one of my step daughter for 8yr's favorite song's until a drunk driver ran over her & her friend when she was 15yr's old. Love the song but sometime's hard to listen to. Great Song! TY 4 Sharing!

[toothmaker22000]

john mayer .baby talkin  singin lil bitch .......only thing he has goin for him is his average skills on guitar .....

[cristina7741]

vvvvivvvvvvvvvvvaaaaa The Heartbreakers ya los queremos en Mexico

[Snapjaggery]

@JustANerdyKid What an aptly named tag.

Yeah, without Tom Petty, John Mayer would be nothing. It's not like JM has ever written any decent songs. Oh wait, he's won Grammys for them.

[iNeedPEANUTBUTTERx3]

I love tom petty! john mayer's version is not better.. they can't really be compared since they are so different. But tom petty has always been my personal favorite. (:

[mikefan09]

i just wanna say, black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow!

[SuperWholeMilk]

@mikefan09 i just wanna say, green and yellow green and yellow green and yellow!

[mikefan09]

@SuperWholeMilk haha lol ok ok the half time show was good we can agree on that, and big up the navy seals on gettin bin laden! later my american brother!

[20FieryHearts]

Where the hell did music like this go? I WANT IT BACK! the black eyed tone-deaf peas and their awful music can dissappear off the face of the earth and tv for all i care. If only tom petty and the heartbreakers could play every halftime show.

[solefthanded2]

SB42

What an ending!!

What a fairytale ending!!

The New York Football Giants!!

Elisha to Plaxico and Tom Petty, breaking Patriot hearts.......

[bravoboy33]

so much better than BEP

[TheGeorgecostanza]

Along with this going down as one of the best Superbowls ever,equally impressive was Tom Petty's halftime show. BEP sucked shit at this years Superbowl. NFL needs to have good ole classic rock musicians like Tom here do their halftime shows. How about Bob Seger or U2 even at a upcoming halftime show?

[sensovie]

thats so true

[UndesirableVisitor]

The Super Bowl hasn't had a decent halftime show since Tom Petty.

[alittleinbetween]

@UndesirableVisitor The Who was pretty intense! check it out the stage was AMAZING!

[cowboystu1988]

@UndesirableVisitor Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band 2009!

[TheSlamma]

Man Petty always has the crowd involved.. one of the best showmen ever.

[Mrspartan2009]

so much better than BEP

[truearizonagirl]

@Mrspartan2009 When the BEP performed, we put the TV on mute becaused they sucked!

[electronfox]

I would much rather have just watched a replay of this tonight than the mess we actually got.

[bluealien14]

Tom Petty should do all of the halftime shows from now till forever. Idk what the fuck I just saw.

[MrKnight1ize]

the best of the world+

[astroboirap]

lol @ the douchebag with the double neck guitar

[cMuRdAx0]

1:07

enough said

[MrKnight1ize]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrKnight1ize]

Petty 4-Ever thanks for the Video men

[zrbfun2]

i went to that game and it was awesome

[candlelight225]

I'm also going to leave this world for awhile.

[noryd]

the only thing from this night that was better was my G-Men beating the Pats. Petty fucking rocked the house that night. Best night of my life

[GaynNovi]

Always an uplifting song. Perfect for driving that long drive from someplace you didn't wanna be.

[Whboint]

how good would it be to be part of the crowd there..

[DJDIRTBIKES]

@Whboint It was AWESOME!

[ineedaname777777]

Loves Jesus! 

[noryd]

possibly the best halftime show at the best superbowl ever? 

[MrJasonburley]

im from newengland this song gives me damn nightmares represented everything that happened that year

[noryd]

@MrJasonburley and i gives me chills being a giants fan :o

[Jidiotic]

Tom Petty rocks in music, and rocks as Lucky on KOTH, hes just all around awesome!

[recovering16]

@Jidiotic  I totally agree. Love KOTH and Tom Petty!

[rcbasher101]

@Jidiotic Exept KOTH got cancelled, instead we get to watch the AMAZING cleveland show (sarcastic)

[ookie123]

eat me

[ChrisZimny]

The Who was better.

[evilemperordude]

@ChrisZimny As a much as I love the Who, I didn't really feel they were at the top of their game at the halftime show.

[noryd]

@ChrisZimny the whos sucked at the superbowl compared to this. he fucking rocked the house of 60,000+

[skeetskeet85]

This old pothead always got it! I c him erry year here in Wisconsin @ Summerfest. Petty is tha shit! He's rockin til he takes tha last puff!

[gingermarroquin]

damn he still gots it

[skippypb05]

there wont ever be a halftime show that tops this..Tom Petty is the best!

[gingermarroquin]

@skippypb05 hell ya youre right!

[ookie123]

john meyer is a p*ssy

[fendertele1988]

@ookie123 john MAYER is a pussy who's sold a lot more albums than you have.

[ookie123]

@fendertele1988 he's a rip-off artist and a pussy nonetheless, douche. telecasters suck.

[fendertele1988]

@ookie123 are Syd Barrett, frank black, james burton, albert collins, bob dylan, johnny greenwood, george harrison, prince, merle haggard, waylon jennings, john 5, bruce springsteen, keith urban and muddy waters all pussys too because they play or played telecasters? the numbers 1, 2, and 3 suck.

[TheOkanokazuya]

@ookie123 shut up and win 7 grammy awards, plz

[ganman8280]

@vandals989

They had sex with the guy in charge of it over at the YouTube offices

[stevevaiisnumber1]

[DearDes]

[zbeeman]

[GalacticVacuum]

[golftownlive]

one of the best super bowls

[CHETxxxLEMON]

Please send Justin Bieber to HELL !

Bieber Fever WTF ! dumb kid probably wouldn't know what to with a shaved bieber lol

[Kopite4life91]

Fantastic song. One of my favourites. It has to be up there with Gerry and the pacemakers - YNWA and Garry Jules - Madworld.

[jbails007]

This is my favorite half time show ever (and I'm a HUGE Rolling Stones, Springsteen, and Prince fan).

[globemaster68]

this is my favorite petty song.

[linusret]

It's moments like this I wish I was american...!

[TooRaw22]

@linusret if you love this song as much as i do, your good close enough for me

[dantedraco]

This song is so chill, and well played live.

[cddrummer96]

King of the Hill =) haha i love it when he guess stars.

[deflepphartme]

i missed the who and tom petty at the 2008 and 2010 superbowls :( pisses me off! >:(

[dudewattf]

best super bowl halftime show ever.

[TheBiscuit26]

this isn't John Mayer in any case??

[grantiepoo]

fuck john mayer is all i gotta say haha, damn hes still amazing

[rabitdog13]

Who ever sayss they hate John Mayer fuck u he is the men and can sing write and damn thing he wants and ur just a fucking hater caouse he's the man

[cci110]

Imagine doing this..a buzz that every night you can say " I did that "

[aibangmaini]

Of course it was awesome...he had the tracks from the original cut piped in for the choruses. Watch it again - at 1:06, you hear "Now I'm" and you also hear the "cheat" tracks doing it, but not quite in snyc.

[cristian81267]

bravo , anzi bravissimo , no che dico! inconparabile!!!!!! poeta!!!!!!!!!

[HanScorpion20]

I remember watching this live 2 years ago - it was effin awesome

[Firefighter5475]

I don't know how many times I've watched this, but from 2:28 and on, I get chills every time I see it.

[2FarUnit]

u liek getting high thats y bro

[GrazaShaw]

aye Tom Petty inspired a Giants win! WAAAAAAY!! :D

[10TC55]

Look at that, he doesn't even have to take his clothes off, (like some people) to make the highlight at the super bowl haha. Tom Petty FOREVER!!!!!!!!

[TheGrerex]

i hate john mayer because he acts like an awesome blues rocker but hes just a pop singer/songwriter, he will never be like tom petty

[CrazyDave408]

I hate John Mayer because he CAN be an awesome blues rocker, but chooses to be just a pop singer/songwriter.

[creightonballa26]

I am a Pats fan, when he played this song last, I knew we were in trouble, lol.

I was right :(

[ninetimesu]

I wish Stan Lynch was still the drummer but Steve's cool

[silva7867]

he needs Axl up there with him like in '89

[TheCocaColaCan]

That woulda been awesume.

[NirvanaFan414]

the fans singing it too shows how much this song means to people

[7tompetty3]

what does tom say at 2:15?

[TheCocaColaCan]

"Check this out"

He usually says it, followed by a cool solo,but this version was abbreviated.

[genesisterminus]

Tom petty will always be a great. A legend!

We all have our differences among many different subjects.

I love this song, but im gonna have to say John Mayer covered this song very well.I hate how people always bash and never give credit to all the successful artists/songwriters. Must be human nature to instantly judge someone.

[vandals989]

how the fuck does jonas brothers come up on this video

[MERCE006]

yeah, he still kicks John Mayer's ass on this song

[sergeant137]

Now if the Pats wouldve just won on top of a good concert!

[glennosmansdeiros]

Touchdown 77 :-)

[superlou1s]

A double necked tele? :O

Wow, that's sick...

I don't remember seeing that, for some reason I just thought it was an SG :P

[hagront]

It's not a tele :-(

[superlou1s]

oh, what brand is it?

[sergeant137]

danelectro i think

[WhichOnesPink777]

It's a Fernandes Telecaster copy. i had one just like it. gave it to a guy who could play, but didnt have a guitar. Anybody know what that's like?

[FCule]

Search for: free fallin calle

Hes the best!!!!

you wont regret!!

[bigearl6969]

They needed lighters instead of flashlights.

[gibsonsg3444]

they were cell phones

[PageandPlant4Life]

I love Tom Petty's singing. He isn't a vocal virtuoso, but he has a distinct unique voice. The band is great too.

[zzchaudhry]

i was there :)

[RolleyOllie]

Oh man, this was about the only Super Bowl I ever enjoyed fully.

XLIII was crap though.

[DamenVain13]

but i loved the ending to XLIII

[steeshlad]

im from the UK and i remember sitting up to watch this.

never usually a big fan of american football, but really enjoyed the '08 superbowl. obviously tom petty stole the show.

[chiznarlie]

I just read an article that said this one was lip synced. Say it ain't true.

[ianisadouche]

Dude seriously, if you had ears, just listen. It's clearly not lip synched.

[nelsonr32]

Yeah I remember. It's clearly obviously he isn't though. Although I think they MAY have put a bit of a track on 'Freeeee, Free fallin' for effect.

[kotsi42]

i agree...it sounds like they helped him out a little on that part

[atlantisb34]

@nelsonr32 there are vocal pedals you can get that echo your voice.

[wtyazzie2000]

did he have to take out part of the song, so he could be able to play this?

[thrice3muses]

His voice still sounds awesome!

[Cptbiggb]

I remember watching the Super Bowl just for Tom Petty. This just gets me going you know?!?! -Bryan

[BobReidy]

I did the same.Free Fallin is the ultimate feel good and good mood song and is perfect for any occasion.

[Senorize]

ahh that was a good superbowl, the cardinals got beat and tom petty played and then i got to rub the steelers win in his face

GO WINLESS BUCS WOOOOOOOOO!

[number1canuck]

dude the 08 superbowl was Pats vs Giants, and that was the collest superbowl ever

[Senorize]

oh ya thats right

well my other hated team got beat so i was happy

[HazMatCFO]

NFL should have quit putting on halftime shows after Petty because it can't get any better than this.

[DoowahDiatribe]

@HazMatCFO Abso f...n lutely!

[maidenfreak94]

@HazMatCFO The 2003 grey cup had bryan adams i was there, It was amazing

[21CenBreakdown]

Up there with McCartney, Mercury, and Holly for those most unique voices of all-time.

[joshc311]

ahhh!! you cant get better than Petty! No queer ass Jonas Brothers no John Mayer....just Petty

[SkitSandwich]

mayer is better than the homo jonas'

[Bocktai5]

@SkitSandwich no shit lol i hate the jonas' they must die and be sacrificed to the rock gods... BOW DOWN TO ELVIS INFIDELS!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAH i wish i was born in the age of real rock and not this gay crap believing jonas' is actually true born rock n roll i want to slaughter them horribly

[sergeant137]

@Bocktai5 same here man! I was born in the age of musical shit, and

I personally wanna go sucker punch every rapper, hip hop or party music player as well as jonas-brother-like rock posers!

[xVervex]

this video gives me good shivers everytime. amazing! i love tom petty.

[jesussist]

me encanta esta cancion y el video lo maximo

[noryd]

rocked the superbowl

[charliedelta1000]

Talk about never lost it!

[flojennyerik]

I love it so much!

ITS THE ONLY ONE Who`s John Mayer... ;-)

[bmold6969]

tom petty one of my favortie artists is amazing, and your a faget for thinking this song sucks

[JOnathanCharrier]

your a dirty whore

[JustCamus]

Damn, they sounded great.:)

[graduateclass08]

I just realized tom petty skipped a verse when he played this song. This is the verse he skipped. Listen closely.

All the vampires walkin through the valley

Move west down ventura boulevard

And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows

A ll the good girls are home with broken hearts

[rinirukmini]

john mayer's version sounds gay.

[Scarletbull]

I just heard John Mayer's rendition... Very nice! I mean c'mon guys, he's not supposed 2 sound like Tom, that's why they call 'em renditions. Mayer's style is blues, Tom is Classic Rock. Each of them are equally great in their respective genres. That's like comparing apples w/oranges. 4 me? I rather listen to the original.

[CatchDude]

Mayers version is just a nice trick to get chicks...

[Scarletbull]

Maybe. U ever heard Metallica "One" Song Cover performed by Korn? Pretty damn good if u ask me. Look 4 "One MTV Icon". U'll c what I'm talking about.

[NeXuSArts]

John Mayer version sux... What a pussy...

[timtop4]

At least JM did his own take on the song.

[shunislo]

John Mayers is a fucking twat. He shouldn't butcher Tom Petty's classic, singing it like a cunt.

[golfinskynyrdfan]

i dont think mayers voice is bad but tom petty is the man

and the coolest pot head i know!

[zilla2033]

You guys really think he was lip-syncing? Check 2:15, and then think about whether you have any reasoning in your brain at all...retards trying to bring down a great artist.

[njnets024]

are you guys serious????? THE JOHN MAYER VERSION SUCKS BALLS!!! JOHN MAYER SOUNDS LIKE A WOMAN..... TOM PETTY SHOULD OF NEVER LET THAT DOUCHE BAG TOUCH HIS SONG

[carandres15]

little kids don't know shit. Some ignorant bastards even say john mayer plays Bold as Love even better that Jimi Hendrix himself

[29PonyLover]

R u fucking crazy?? John Mayer is such a better singer. Tom petty sounds like a dying cat his voice is so flat and blahh.

[iamsuperman67]

amen bro i like toms chorus flow but john rapes tom

[mastamitchell]

i agree, john mayer's version is amazing, tom petty sounds like a creepy old man in this version. i still respect him though for writing such a great song.

[BigBoiJC]

this is what i hate..comments like the above. so what if you don't like John Mayer...maybe Petty does and maybe that's why he let John record this tune.

[29PonyLover]

Eww the John Mayer version is sooo much better

[Huntrguy102]

i agree john mayer has a much better voice and more emotion and just a good take on the song

[carandres15]

John mayer sings like a pussy in his version

[DodgerBlues88]

ha, that gaylord said john mayer

[flojennyerik]

I love it...

[jenslehmannfan]

wow this looks very cool. i wish i could watch the superbowl live

[nitarna]

Tom Petty sucks dick compared to John Mayer's version.

[kellysexson]

OH HELL NO-You didn't just say that!
