TOM PETTY - Then and Now - Mary Jane's Last Dance '(93- '06)

[Megamarcoco]

geiles lied!

[danie3elle]

i love this song!!

[HTV520]

im sure he sounds like dylan because he has so much respect for him and his music just like every recording artiest from rap to classical, dylan himself has done almost every kind of genre in his life . so why wouldn't you want to sound like him.

[markydeeks]

My god, nobody ripped this of on purpose, to the uneducated this could sound like Bob Dylan,

[blacklabel718]

alot of singers from bob dylan's era sang like that... its rock and roll

[markydeeks]

That was my point,, but thanks

[PageandPlant4Life]

both were great. but i prefer the live version. kickass!

[lilhottie329]

Oh my gosh!

the first video is kinda creepy!

but i LOVE THE SONG!

haha! =]]

[jackmac787]

I hear it, i also hear fell in love with a girl by the white stripes. Especially when Joss stone did fell in love with a boy. Anyone else?

[Ludwikia]

Wow...this brings back so many meories...

[TomPetty60]

Wow! Tom still looks and sounds incredibly amazing! He hasen't changed a bit! GO TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS!  : D

[sgtpepper1138]

he's had a bit of "work" done, witch I think he should have never had done, his face is stretched now,

but he's still the man

[jbrianfehr]

yeah they stole Toms hook 4 Dani,..,,,

so what...Petty's got dozens more hits than the HCPr's...

[ApocalypseKurtz]

RHCP definitely ripped it off though.

[aeartress]

Petty didnt think so...

[ApocalypseKurtz]

I think it was more that Tom didn't care. He didn't want to sue them because he understands that there are only so many chord progressions one can come up with.

[zzzepptri]

I don't know what caused someone to thumbs down Phill's comment. I think he's just saying they rocked it out!

[mikepags]

There was a law suit over this. Petty's record company made a big deal...he didn't really care seeing that they're two different songs about two different things.

[devolution12]

yea and tom petty droped the charges casue he said tht ever song nowadays sounds pretty much the same

[jdillon1974]

finest song i've heard in years

[Bradleius]

These are good...but for LIVE performace you got to get LAST DJ: LIVE AT THE OLYMPIC!

He does a wailin 9 minute version of Mary Jane that is probably the best he hhas EVER done! Mike Campbell just smokes on his guitar!

[rubabon4o]

the god damn lame chorus ruins the song ...

[ESP4thaWin]

nice

[xXxFatalClawxXx]

Perfect intro

[pavlo1810]

necrofilia

[MarioMarano]

Getting born in the state of Mississippi

Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie

In Alabama she would swing a hammer

Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama

She never knew that there was anything more than poor

What in the world does your company take me for...

Now I understand a lot of things, but these are two different songs... I prefer Dani California, sorry

[gprentice303]

petty stomps the chilli peppers, and i love me some RHCP

[Edsongs1964]

A musica e legal o video nao tem haver nada comigo mas foi bem feito.

[elisaloba]

Buscaba este clip que es sinestro y maravillloso hace rato bella historia (bueno algo necrofilica) pero ver Kim bajo el agua es follement beau awesome y la musica folk.O sea es lo más. Gracias Laurian.

[elisaloba]

very good video, I love.

[CARTOONREALITY]

one of my favourite songs.

[OnlyrepublikafaninNL]

Trying to get this song out of my brain for a day or two but I can't... :-) Man, am I happy camper!

[takacszoli89]

Lol the clip ist crazy :o

[sharleina]

lol i know u wrote that a year ago but ur funny but i think its suposed to be scaryor to trip sum1 out

[beatlemaniac12]

this is fuken creepy

[expressway11]

Good SONG !

[scottandleisl]

Wow, like 10 comments roughly going

"your dumb if you think this is a rip off of Dani!!!!"

But no one said this song was a rip off of any song....

Once again proving that youtube is the asshole of the internet.

[mloaks]

pitiful argument

[BahLahLah]

Either way, they're both good songs. And Frusciante and Flea are... some of the most talented modern musicians (Says thousands of fans as well as hundreds and hundreds of critics as well as other critically acclaimed/incredible musicians), so there is a speck of talent hidden in Dani California. That and Chad Smith and Kiedis do just fine at what they do so...Don't worry about it :)!

[nisavega]

That's what happens when your born too young to know the facts. Tom Petty's song came out first. Anyone who thinks otherwise must have failed Math in grade school.

[ElGoodo]

It's especially sad because the title of this video says "93" and the beginning of the video even says 1993. It seems like they came here for the purpose of bitching.

[nintendolemming]

maybe the similarities are there because both "Dani California" and "Mary Jane's Last Dance" were produced by Rick Rubin?

[corinneeleanor12]

bs dis this song is 10 times better den dani california and it cant be a copy becuse dani california came out way after

[seznolixis]

you can't take copyright on chords progressions.... so just cause it's the same chords it's doesn't mean it's the same song

the passenger and save tonight have also same chords

[detekteideutschland]

dany California??????

[nigokid]

dani...

[azjeff1971]

This song is great.

[wazio3]

lol im upcess with tom petty i have 42 songs on my ipod of him this one is my favorite one by him

[donizer5]

maybe tp and the hb's were a big influence on rhcp?

[donizer5]

really, if u look back into a lot of popular bands they all borrowed riffs and chord groupings they dont really rip anything off. the only time ive heard of music getting ripped off is when some1 steals it and leaks it onto the internet like what happened with metallica

[Rush1013]

I friggin hate people who say "THis is a rip off of Dani California!" umm... how could it be a ripoff if THIS CAME BEFORE DANI CALIFORNIA!!! DANI CALIFORNIA IS A RIP OFF THIS SONG!

[DeFlePpardRoxX]

you my friend are a little fuckin homo...how can dani california be better this version was made first and tom pett was writing hit songs be4 those chilli pepper fags were even suckin on theyre mommies titties.

[BahLahLah]

The youngest Chili Pepper was born in 1970 and Tom Petty's first hit was 1977. 7 years old is too old to be suckin on your mommies titties so you are completely incorrect. Howabout a nice big cup of shut the fuck up because you are in no way shape or form correct. Now go try again.

[ubersweetponage]

lol

[sexydanny21awesome]

She opens her eyes at the end shes still alive COOL

[ischlopischlo]

Lovely song.

The intro/verse of Dani California uses the same chord progression: Am G Dm , as well as probably thousand other songs, that's as close as it gets, the chord voicing is different, the melody is different, the rhythm is slightly different.

The rest of the song is totally different.

I love Mary Janes Last Dance, credit to Tom Petty for this song.

Credit for the intro in Dani California to John Frusciante.

Theres many thousands of other songs with the

same chord progression.

[stoofighter]

its not Dm its D

[ischlopischlo]

Ah, dani california is Dm tho so theres another difference.

[stoofighter]

on last dance i mean. and there are similarities, but its impossable to write a good original song these days, cause its always gonna sound like something else

[matt22020]

i was just wondering on peoples opinon do u think that this song is maily about a girl or "maryjane"(the plant) for thoes of who cant figure that out:P

[djakeoleary]

that video is like A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold

[Suliiin]

I have to agree :D

this songs are just awesome!

[duckrock7]

duck enjoys a dance before the time is over..

[hiphopguru81]

thank you....shes standin in her underware,and its def killin the pain!

[MissTomPetty]

GOSH people. This doesn't sound like Dani California, Dani California sounds like this. So quit. The Chilli Pepper whatever people copied the Heartbrakers. So get it RIGHT. I feel like such a stranger to this world sometimes.

[phatmarx78]

They didnt copy anybody pal. It's just another beat of music that is usually used. just like "smells like teen spirit" by nirvana and "more than a feeling" by boston.

[64i79t]

yeye this song is sick

[ThundercatsHooo]

That harmonica player must have been playing his heart out to be heard over those guys :]]

Oh and, necrophilia is sexy :D

[stoney490]

rigor mortis would have already set in...necrophiliac.

[zzzepptri]

A great band is always better live. No exception here.

[handypot35]

man the first one is better..tom petty = god lol

[grambo22]

Why does it even matter what Petty looks like? This is about the music, go watch a pop video or something.

[jpwarren123]

american treasure. Period.

[tacohator07]

tom petty will always rock

[mloaks]

Y'all don't know old! wow...

[australl]

Very appropriate...Tom Petty looks like a corpse

[Moud25]

I need to smoke with him.

[easydp]

'Grew up in a state of California'

[kurtcobainisgod]

one of the greatest songs of the 90s

[thehype93]

gosh......... he is OLD!!

still sounds the same, though-- disturbing but freakin' awesome.

[danelectroman70]

he's also had a little cosmetic surgery done recently. How great does any rocker look like at almost 60 yrs old without it. McCartney would look worse than Keith Richards if he hadn't done something about it. Believe it!

[BozNow]

is the live perfomrance in gainesville?

[Laurian1980]

Yeah, the 30th anniversary concert from Gainesville it is :)

[RonnyVisa]

dani california is just a rip ....  but the still RHCP is fucking great !!!!

TOM PETTY ALSO IS

[Serraph108]

Im pretty sure I would have never noticed the similarities between this and Dani

[TheOtherJMan]

Ahh, thats song was so nice!

[javiercamafeo]

actually the D chord here is major while in Dani.. is minor... haha

[ven0mous]

No, it's not.

The notes within the chord you play are D-A-D, 4th-2nd string.

[PongoPower]

i liked the old tom petty and the heartbreakers videos y'know with the canvas and paint everywhere got me feeling like i was on an acid trip as well.

[jrod9900]

It's the same chords on the verse (Dani and Mary Jane), but there is no copyright on chords. If you look at how many songs are identical, you'd sh*t yourself.

[zombiedude25]

hearbreakers are suing the chillies because of it

[palfguy]

no, they aren't

[MissTomPetty]

I wish.. but they aren't but the chillies did copy or somethin' cause Tom sang this song first

[zombiedude25]

my earlier comment was wrong i take it back lol i know a hell of alot more than i used to , tom petty said he wouldnt sue anyone over somthin stupid like that because of all the lagal shit that happend during the start of his career

[WantedMan86]

dani california...

[dairyair420]

grew up tall and she grew up right! POKE SMOT

[Trombonestar]

Would you stop advertising your pornographic camera girls we dont want to hear it its on every other video i watch and its annoying stop!

[Trombonestar]

Tom Petty Has The Best Band in the world he has so many good songs

[marcobobafett]

Tom Petty la lleva, life, night, drugs, blood, las rocas de santo domingo.

[merrrlo]

haha I'd read that the Peppers had allegedly ripped off this song... and yeah, they definitely did

[fruitkroketu2u2]

yeah,ofcourse,stupid me.

[fruitkroketu2u2]

soundsl like dani california,red hot chilli peppers.

[darkmoon123321]

lol

[shaggybear1986]

ok so i dont no his work but iv seen a guy play this song with his feet and sang so gud! go look for it!

[4thandinches]

Tom Petty put out a bunch of damn good music, but I hate this song.

[akilmer]

This song is greater than great. People need to give credit to the rest of the Heartbreakers as well as Petty - they are an awesome band.

[sharleina]

did any1 else notice her eyes opened underwater?

[Abendmahl23]

Yeah, you are the only one

[Privetscott]

did he succesfully sue RHCP ?

[mecasull]

he pretty much has said he's not going to.

[Privetscott]

thats big of him, he's a awesome dude

[queerp]

no, he let them slide. I guess he likes RHCP a bit.

[Trombonestar]

Tom Petty Still Has It and better.

[Abendmahl23]

Last dance withe mary jane, i was to kill the pain

[Cyberninja23]

Creepy ass Video Love the song though

[Simulant795]

My mom didn't like me watching this video on MTV when I was growing up! Ha ha!

[sheezcrazy]

Thanks for posting. I'm a fan, but depite having heard about this video for years, this is the first time I've seen it. Tom does love making weird vids, doesn't he?

[toppo999]

yeah dude, this is the 1st time ive listened to his guym he is just the best

[slongzilla]

why don't u jus listen to the music, thats why he's a legend nd ur just sum sad internet loser tryin to discredit a man that is an absolute musical genius

[faggotry]

im tired of people saying hes weird looking...id fuck him

[MartinSlovakian]

beutiful video, but song no

[guitargod543]

u know this vid...the first one gives me the creeps but its such an awesome song

[mikofthewat]

I saw Tom Petty back in August, He is the most amazing live performer I have seen yet.

[tsungvarsky]

wtf happened between Kim and Alec that it got so acriminous? Both are coming across as a-holes, but I don't know the whole story.

Love Petty in the Larry Sanders DVD.

[Nezaru]

It's nothing alike.

I mean NOTHING.

The little coincidence is that the intro is almost alike.

Do you think the peppers really want to rip off Tom Petty?

They're virtuosos.

They're the best of the best.

They don't need to.

[Laurian1980]

Yeah, except that Mary Jane was written by Tom in 1989, during the Full Moon Fever session, under the title Indiana Girl. The final version was released in 1993 and renamed to Mary Jane's Last Dance.

P.S: Kim Basinger (in case some of you didn't recognize her).

[ydoucare38]

oh shit it is her! wow i didnt kno that

[Alkond]

cool similar to dani california from red hot chili peppers

[bigwhitehound]

Nice to see it again. Still one of my faviored Tom Petty vidoes

[ballshammer]

Wow, tom petty is awesome. But he looks so old in the 2006 video.

[EpiphanyDH]

Really enjoyed seeing the two together like that. Very very nice, Thanks! He still has it.
