Tom Petty - The Super Bowl - American Girl

[PlatypusVomit]

God I love Tom Petty.

[Augie500]

I love Tom Petty, I think my eyes swelled up when I watched them play at the Superbowl.

[thebiggestqueenfan]

this makes me proud to be american, especially at 0:14

[CoreyTHEhectikDWARF]

"pieceofshit54" yea your missing out on something!

Im Proud to be a damn FUCKING american!

[TheIrvinlopez]

I can imagine the groupies.

[MrRoljaaa]

its like in heaven, but better

[JerseyChicklette]

I agree. Not everyone has to run around on stage to make a great show. He doesn't have to,, hes Tom Petty! Music speaks for itself!!! Love that Dude...Always have!

....and after that Awesome SB performance I just had to see them in concert again.

Saw them twice before and again in June of that yr. Mike Campbell is Amazingly Brilliant on guitar...& TP's "The Man"....Gotta see them Live....THEY ROCK!!!!!!!

[Mr6stringchaos]

Tom Petty is another person aside from the Beatles who made Rickenbacker a shit ton of money!!!

[xAcidekk]

this was actually my most memorable superbowl show.

WAY better than the black eyed peas performance.!

[schnitzie13]

Best Superbowl EVAH!!!!! GO GIANTS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OT!!!!!

[Saaaaaaaabone]

Incredible Rock N´Roll :)

[609Blondebomb]

Hands down, (as far as I'm concerned) the BEST superbowl halftime show thus far. I've dreamt of Tom since I was in seventh grade. :-)

[2kewl4skoolzz]

I can't listen to this song without picturing the scene from Silent of the lambs......great song though.

[ixcuincle]

Bruce's was better. This was a great HT show though.

[june21stgem]

@ixcuincle I beg to differ, Tom doesnt have to knee slide into a camera to impress me.. theres something to be said about a dude that runs all around the stage and someone who can simply play great music without the circus sh**

[mustangmatt63]

Best Halftime show Ever!!

[howtodohelp]

Playback

[stefanmsb]

@howtodohelp I dont think so.

[craigmacnaughton]

...a little more life, somewhere else? She was an AMERICAN girl ッ

[guitardds]

Best Halftime show to date. Sorry Black Eyed Peas, this is how a stadium rocks.

[gdhuber]

Holy Crap, I know this is going to get some dislikes, but he sounds like CRAP!

[ziggystardust009]

great video, I love that version of american girl, that was one of my favourite super bowl halftime shows of all time next to paul mccartney's on 2004 (i think ) XD

[RWO0711]

Best Halftime Show i've ever seen and the best Super Bowl i've ever seen.

[carlosesobrino]

When was that show?

[KathyNairnPhotog]

thanks for sharing. 

[odgamer1]

Por mas Shows de Super Bowl como este y menos como el de los BEP

[MyGoff]

This is the last super bowl half time show I watched, they haven't had anybody worth watching since then lol.

[agent1up]

petty is classic...

[chrisnealxxx]

people actually rushing the field for Tom Petty. a problem they certainly didnt have this year with Usher and poor tragic Christina Aguillera

[tpshbchick]

@chrisnealxxx There were 1,800 fans that went to AZ a week early for "practices" to pull that off. It wasn't people from the stands that rushed the field - they came in from outside at the start of halftimne show. For a total of 12 minutes they surrounded the stage and when TP&HB's were done, the fans got loaded back into the busses and returned to their hotel - and returned home.

[chrisnealxxx]

@tpshbchick well thats disappointing to know and actually, i LIKE Black Eyed Peas. kinda surprised to read this about a staged stage rush. lol

[mike19712010]

you tell me one band..that can sound that good after 30 yrs ! Best half time show ever!! fu*k gay as rap.. they played this year!

[VROOOOOOOOOM]

@mike19712010 you mean 40 years (soon) ;)

[zeldaaldez]

People dont realize how deep the lyrics to some of his songs are...its LIFE YALLL!!! People soometimes get lost in how great the music is without listening to the lyrics..all im sayin!

[manikscribe]

It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

[ghanapeace]

love petty, i live in tampa and have been to every show with my best friend until she had a stroke and now is in a whellchair,but we still went to the one in september and had a blast love petty!!!!!!

[cristina7741]

RICKENBACKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRR WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOO

[alexjestermusic]

If only more half time shows could be like this.

[reints74]

@alexjestermusic yup! Sure was better than this year's pile of crap...

[day500champ08]

So one tell me how we can go from acts like this, springsteen, and the who to the BEP's in 4 years? Who in the hell picked the BEP's?! I say we bring tom back.

[bluesguitarwizard]

No need to say it's great! But a Rickenbacker can do more...

[BetaDeltaCebu]

american girls are whores...

they love money more than penis...

that's why they only sleep with rich men, even if he is 80 years old...

which also makes them disgusting, by the way...

[whatevergrl5674]

@BetaDeltaCebu Yes, because in a country of estimated 310 million people, half of which are women, everybody is the exact same.

[RWO0711]

12 people are Patriots fans

[pieceofshit54]

makes me wish i was american.....

[arai59]

@pieceofshit54 you can always be an American.....if you want to.

[travasjf]

@pieceofshit54 why>

????????????



[OleBoy18]

legendary show!

[chamino05]

i minute of silence for those who didn't make it in the human stampede.

[chamino05]

i minute of silence for the ones who didn't make it in the human stampede.

[pryme]

and thumbs up for that sexy little thing at 2:09

[pryme]

BEST SUPERBOWL EVER...BECAUSE IT WAS THE GRITTY UNDERDOG NEW YORK GIANTS UP AGAINST THE PICTURE PERFECT PATRIOTS PLUS TOM MOTHERFUCKING PETTY! WHAT A GAME, WHAT A PERFORMANCE, WHAT A NIGHT. THUMBS UP FOR AMERICAN GIRLS AND AMERICAN FOOTBALL!

[debzeppeliniv]

[PialatBernard]

Yessssssssssssssss

[sloneczkoist]

SUPER...

[PialatBernard]

J'adore cette video, super

[bogiegogetum]

the best SB halftime performance ever

[Kamewuv]

sounds more country 

[kleenexofdoom]

Rock Legend.. love Tom Petty!!

[Mrbeepxtreme120]

Is that jesus singing there? and is there a dick going into a black hole at the beggining?

[ailan60]

good performance,

[chiachi77]

tom petty and the giants, couldn't have it any other way... it just made sense

[jacksecret]

Mike Campbell is a GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LRifenberg]

I'm not even a huge TP fan, but this was, in my opinion, by far, the single GREATEST Super Bowl halftime show ever.

[www41WorldUSAcom]

TOM PETTY - "AMERICAN GIRL"

[Hildreth1101]

I watched this game for Tom Petty, great performance and not to mention it was one of the best NFL games I ever saw, but I don't normally watch American Football...

[POOLSCLOSED4AIDS]

NYG #1 baby

[cckaibeto673]

@POOLSCLOSED4AIDS How bout 'em Cowboys!!

[MoTown434]

2:28 !!!!Look at mike up there! They are completely rocking that place! its going nuts!! Best Super bowl performance Ive seen in a long long LONG time!

[SASchertz]

[www41WorldUSAcom]

TOM PETTY "American Girl" LIVE

[FatTonyCologino]

ahh ill never forget this amazing super bowl!

[restinpeacejimi]

Seen these guys in omaha last night, IT WAS F'N MONEY!!!!

[SamZa76]

@restinpeacejimi 

[garylongden]

TP&TH are far better live than recorded, and as an artist TP has sustained decent maeterial for far longer than many of his contemporaries.I was lucky enough to see him twice in 78,it was obvious then that he was going to have a long career.

[nettemackey]

OMFG!!! ahhhhhhh, love it:)

[nucleardude11]

MIKE OWNS!!!!

[nickmordo]

Best SB halftime show I've ever seen....GREAT SET LIST!

[chrismac94]

wow i really forgot how fantastic these guys did

[ddub58]

Are you kidding me, this is greg all of the way, wish we could have Tom make a special visit to him............that would be so cool!!

[BardofCornwall]

Classic!

[kinsale08]

Will someone tell this man that we are waiting in Ireland for him to come!

[MrCiaran31]

Wow...only gets better with age :-)

Recently covered it out my channel ;-P

If any of you peeps checked it out it would make my day :-D

[rocker2595]

This might be one of the best Superbowl Halftime shows. If not thee best. Idk I thought Springsteen was good too.

[Vostokification]

Fuck yeah he was.

[iceman590444]

the who was also

[PepperDr94]

This & The Who are the 2 best & ALWAYS will be the best halftime shows! And my 1st Tom Petty concert May 6th! :D

[SwingRiots]

@PepperDr94 I'm a huge Who fan...and let me tell you, they can do MUCH better than they did at the Superbowl.

[PepperDr94]

@SwingRiots

Who? The Who or Tom Petty can do better? Cause INO that The Who did WAY better than TP @ the Superbowl & the Who was older lol.

[BL80488]

@PepperDr94 Dude I love The Who... But thay were Pathetic at the Halftime Show....

[PepperDr94]

@BL80488 To be honest, I thought The who did better than Tom Petty at the SB lol. JUST MY THOUGHT!!!!!! Remember my ALL TIME FAVORITE is Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers!!!!!!! lol

[STEELERAZ1]

GONNA SEE HIM IN PHEONIX AZ ! MAY 18

[JafferJaffy]

MAKE IT LAST ALL NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chaserallomac12]

hes awesome

i want to see him live but he never comes to austria...

[GabbieRulez]

PETTY IS THE SHIZ!!!!!!!!!!

[jffierro28]

Ha Rock On OLD MAN!!!

Good song Tom Petty

[xbox360magicaladster]

love it

[gianduia1982]

mike u're the best

[nucleardude11]

ROCK ON MIKE!!!!

[NateisTrippin]

Pom Tetty

[C2CBand]

petty is the man!

we did a cover of this song on our channel! ..come by and check it out! : )

[Burnthand]

He´s great but he should consider the idea of visiting a hairdresser...he looks like a cow has licked his hair...

[tutyit]

i would gladly go on a concert here in Europe!

I love this kind of music,especially petty

[EwanMarshall]

Time to get over to Europe guys. We need a world tour!

[smoooothkitty]

tom petty is alive and well .

if you are in sweden please hunt plotchickens down and punch the hell out of him .

[superlou1s]

tom always looks younger without a beard

i wish he'd shave it off :P

[Thegoodmusic56]

Yeah, but it would reveal his melting face XD

[winterlock1]

@plotchickens is this a joke???

[superlou1s]

God Id give my lung to have been there. Then again, id give ANYTHING to see the who live this year... Ahhhh so little money, so many concerts to miss :'(

[leftywitt]

its hard to imagine this was on their first album released in 1976, it still sounds sooooo fresh. not to mention it probably sounds better live here then any studio cut they did

[skibum101184]

Nobody wants to see Flo Rida at the Superbowl Halftime Show. He basically sings along with the Studio versions of his songs, he sucks

[mobegone]

Don't get me wrong skibum....I like the classic rock acts....Springsteen was great and Prince was amazing....even in the freakin rain that day....but the NFL can't expect this geezer rock trend to continue as a meme. So Justin popped a tittie...get over it. The NBA gets it.

[skibum101184]

I'm not saying a newer act would be a bad thing, I'd actually like to see a newer band/singer. But Flo Rida? Get real.

[mobegone]

The Who...or what's left of them....are the Super Bowl halftime band this year....will Townshend or Daltry have a wardrobe malfunction? We can only hope not. Maybe the Stones will amble in on their walkers for a cameo. What the fuck is the NFL thinking? Gimme Rick Ross and Pitbull and Flo Rida and Trina and all the wonderful local talent Miami has to offer.

[breenimania68]

fag. thats not music. this is music. the who the stones thats reaaaal music. TALENT. thats the difference between rock and rap.

[mobegone]

bro....I love the Who and the Stones....and Queen and Led Zep and Tom and the Heartbreakers and the Beatles....but I'm just sayin'....people in wheelchairs shouldn't be doing the Supe halftime show. JayZ and Beyonce live in Miami Beach but we get Townshend and Daltrey and the ghosts of Entwhistle and Moon? WTF?

[plotchickens]

you are a retard. the Stones are a wheelchair band, The Who ain't. Pete still windmills and still jumps. Roger gives it everything he's got and Zak Starkey is the best drummer for the job that isn't 6 feet under .... they've had a few rough shows the past few years but some fucking excellent ones, don't write them off just because the Stones set such a shit example.

[kammhron]

Rock & roll at it's finest!

[monkeyman0077]

I remember everyone saying that tom petty was going to be awful and not being able to recall any hits. I sat there in disbelief that no one could remember how fire this song was. i think everyone was pleasantly surprised.

[Jzook2112]

Proof that age has nothing to do with good music. I'd sooner rush the field to sit in nosebleed seats to see him then to be in a front row at a rap concert.

Cant replace talent and vocals with a fake drummer and synthetic shit.

[ctjim1025]

the best SB halftime performance ever!

[day500champ08]

The Best... SO FAR.

[doire7]

@ctjim1025 You have to be joking? Don't get me wrong i love this music but u2 was the best half time show ever!!!!!!!!

[ctjim1025]

@doire7

Okay U2 could be a tie. But don't tell me I am joking. It's what I feel. Music is a matter of opinion. I loved U2 too (look at my profile). U2 is the best band ever and the best I have ever seen. But I loved Tom Petty's performance

[badge315]

@ctjim1025

I concur

[yankees21229]

@ctjim1025 dont get no better than mr petty thats for sure

[deltax06]

I think he gets even better with age...

[09jackstraw]

Man, they absolutely stuck this performance! I remember after they were done with the halftime show thinking I'd really seen something special.

[MetaSolidSnake]

i would go to the super bowl just for this stuff.

[steeshlad]

love the rickenbacker.

always hero's play them, so i'm told.

[nucleardude11]

ya gotta love mike

[reddc1996]

tom petty is like my all time favs but all those drugs realy did a toll on his face

[CoffeeAndPie90]

AHA! He looks younger with a beard but better shaven.

[ravnzcroftbackup]

Umm...it's called "the aging process." He's 59 years old...

[Thegoodmusic56]

Haha I thinks it is a little less the drugs and more the fact that he's 59 years old.

Although one of the local Radio DJs said he had a "melting face" XD

[lilben9516]

Hey there Yoakamfan92 that blue guitar that the lead guitarist is playing is what appears to be a Gibson ES 335

[CoffeeAndPie90]

That guitar is a Duesenberg 49er. It's his prized model.

[thebee135]

Outstandig Vid, Outstanding Tom Petty!

[harriswa]

the ultimate musician of all time all hail tom petty and the heart breakers

[yoakamfan92]

What the crap is the blue guitar (lead ) called?

[PyAdrian]

Duesenberg Starplayer TV (Mike Campbell edition)

[21CenBreakdown]

Best Superbowl shows:

1. Tom Petty

2. Bruce Springsteen

3. Prince

[CoffeeAndPie90]

Yeah, just thinking that my favorite artists (Petty, Springsteen) were playing the SB Halftime Consecutively makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. . . THERE IS A GOD!!

[JCMoney]

I agree, it seems like the Superbowl which is ironically the most commercialized entity in the world is one of the only places left to hear really good music on Television.

[K4driver2]

Tom Petty Followed By Bruce Springsteen & The E street Band, Two of the last Rockers alive, means two Great Superbowl Halftime shows in a row

[XxKGB75xX]

that guitar going towards the heart was just too hilarious

[zoarces]

Great! Petty's voice sounds a little like Roger McGuinn. And he's even playing a Rickenbacker.

[francescobonvicini]

Great guitar, the best in the world, expecially the 381V69 12 strings.

[Antonovich74]

I don't know if you know this but apparently in '76 McGuinn heard this on the radio and asked the guy next to him: "what year did I cut this again?"

pretty hilarious.

[max888123]

look at all the fat guys run

[MartyDog56]

i have to say. american girl is way better live then the original recording

[paxpaul]

I can't agree, but I can't argue. :) I love the original recording, and nothing gets my blood pumping like the original opening strums. But it's so amazing live, too! An American anthem!

[Zooroonies]

nope, can't agree with that. the studio version is better

[cvo223]

i agree. it's one of very few songs that fell victim to "studio magic." the engineer must have been drunk when recording the song.

[ninelivecat]

No live version beats the original version unless your at the show then its a tribal thing

[BigDaddyCooL1]

@MartyDog56 I find anything done tom petty is better live. They are just a great band to see live.

[120hotty]

@BigDaddyCooL1 i saw them live yesterday and it was amazing

[bollermichel]

i watchted with my best friends in the states everybody starts to sing brings back nice memorys to the best time of my Life so far!

[Scarletbull]

Love this song! Love the outcome of the SB more though. BIG BLUE UP, patsies down! Zvonok & nickmordo r right! NYC STAND UP!

[MattBodossian]

too bad

i like tom petty now but i remember when this was on the super bowl i didnt like him then

[lumpymichael]

Love Tom! Always a great show. Always puts 100% into his music. After all these years! Awesome!

[AtheistGitarist]

When i'm in the right age i'll will live in america ...

[day500champ08]

Tom Petty then Bruce Springsteen?

Now all we need is The Who to do this years upcoming Super Bowl.

[nickmordo]

2 great Super Bowls in a row...Tom Petty was the best halftime in history!

[chronic9292]

fuck yeah dude! agreed!

[krentistthedentist]

Tom petty just makes good music, no matter what you define that as

[Zvonok]

I'd say that's the most memoriable half time show ever in superbowl history. Tom Petty performed and Giants beat the Patriots.

[66crackers]

She was An American Girl; and the love of my life.

Love you Babs

[SexySouthernBelle]

I was suppose to be there.... =( One of the biggest mistakes I EVER made....

[greekwy]

go Mike Campbell go!!!!!!!!
