he just sings that high note so well. . sounds a bit aged and all thruogh out the verse and what not.. but he has got those high notes down.. those fuckers really ring
yet another great song and performance..there is music over the years that just never stops making me feel like it did the very first time, and this is one that will live forever
To be cso the singing is out of tune in the chorus, so its not all that epic of a lip sync, also john mayer's version is completely different, you can't really compare the two. They're both really good :D
I've seen Tom on every tour since I was 6 years old including Bonnaroo a few years ago. I agree with the guy who said John Mayer shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Tom Petty. As Eddie Vedder said in "Running Down a Dream" - "It sort of defies any sort of category or whatever... it's just Tom Petty".
Genius genus genius...what a great track by a true master. I've loved this guy's music for so long and when you put him together with Jeff Lynne, you get awesome tracks just like this. Just genius.
Im 22 and i wish i was born 20 years earlier so i could experience all of this ! My fathers generation had all the fun and was able to enjoy REAL meaningful MUSIC!
i love that you can hear the crowd screaming out the lyrics. its just one of those songs where its IMPOSSIBLE to not get up and sing, no matter how old you are. its timeless.
I say again, john mayer couldnt touch the talent of this man with a 10 mile pole..no musician from the past 20 years ever could... end of story...music died forever in the 80s
John mayer is a very talented man, possibly one of the best guitar players of the last 10 years. Although i'm not a fan of John Mayers version of this song I still know he is a talented man and has some great songs.
O and btw if you're not willing to put ur life into music to make it all it can be, then u don't love music. I'm not saying Tom petty didn't, but it's stupid what ur saying
Demonler, ur a jackass... And a stupid jackass at that. Now I personally like the original better than john mayers cover, but to say that tom petty's better because he has talent is stupid. A because this is a genuinely simple song and B because ur saying that someone who picks a guitar and throws a couple pretty notes at u is better than a guy who puts his life and soul into the guitar to make something just as good.
tom petty doesnt have a "version" of free falling,he wrote it and was teh first to perform it, Mayer has a good cover, though.just putting it out there
demonler87, I don't agree with you. I've just said my opinion, so please don't say that John is a spoiled little brat, just because I said my opinion!
Btw, where do you know that I don't love music? You don't, so please shut the fuck up. I love music, but I hate music like Eminem and 50 cent, that's not music in my head, but then again, that's just my opinion.
I hate people like YOU who judge people when you don't even know them!
@berzy56 I totally agree. John Mayer is the biggest douchebag, or at least one of them, on the face of the earth. You know that southpark episode they did about John Edwards being the biggest douchebag in the universe..no..it really is John Mayer. Read that Rolling Stone interview he gave a while back. God..what a dick.
Just a fuckin' weirdo who fucked that other weirdo Jennifer Aniston. Another pathectic bitch, just like he is.
tom petty is a lot older then john mayer in this video so the fact that he can still pull this off this good with his age blows john mayer outta the water
Yo Jakobnybo, John mayer cant say FREE as high pitch as tom petty can. You wanna know what "the so called amazing john mayer" is? He's a spoiled little brat! Tom Petty actually is born a musician, and people like you who dont love music like I do just cant seam to understand. it really ticks me off to hear the ugly comments about this legend, TOM PETTY!
in king of the hill when Peggy was.....free fallin from a plane.......and in ER When an helicopter fall on Dr.romano......he was whispering it in the elevator :P
It sucks how old he has gotten. Not because lack of talent, but because he won't be here much longer. No more live performances like this after he dies.
Florida' s Son. Well I guess I am glad Tom is "old." That means I have been able to rock out with him and the Heartbreakers for 30 years now. That's a good thing!
there is not many people out there who can do what he does
so fuckin what is he is old like what the fuck that dont change the fact that he is amazing
anyone who has a bad comment about tom petty can go fuck their selves beceause he is the man and you will never even get close to being as great as him
Everyone is getting old dumb ass. The only difference is that Tom Petty is still cool and remain that way until he dies, on the other hand you will never be cool. The drummer does a damn good job. Whoever doesnt like Tom petty go suck your mothers tits fags.
your just saying? So everyone is getting old BUT you. You get your facts straight. Everyone is getting older. Its a fact of life so who cares. People pay to see Tom Petty(if he was in a wheelchair he would still kick ass) ...you couldnt pay someone to see you.
So why are you stepping i for him? Is it because you both are faggots and have to stick up for each other? "he's just saying" WELL I'm just fucking saying too. People like you are little bitches that have to run around and defend each other(safety in numbers mentality). he came on here and was rying to be a faggot smart ass, so I let him know that he was a bitch...then you came and defended your own kind.
but hey, marriage should be between a woman and a man. just my personal belief.
you have yours too, and i can respect that. will you guys ever be able to legally get married?? i see it in the future. once the younger generation gets into power.
My Dad listened to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers when i was younger and i remember this song especially......we used to role all the windows down driving on the highway and he would put the peddle down in his trans-am...now that my friends....is free
he just sings that high note so well. . sounds a bit aged and all thruogh out the verse and what not.. but he has got those high notes down.. those fuckers really ring
