Tom Petty- Learning To Fly (Live)

[pyroteria]

stevie nicks should have been doing the back chorus on the album too.

[vindaloo1000]

I have tickets to see TP at the Albert Hall on both 18th & 20th June this year....I have never seen them live before and I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to the shows....

[42karagounis]

Just beautiful

[jaddison1112]

This live version reminds me of seeing Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at the Hollywood Bowl October 1, 2010 ..... One of the coolest nights of my life ....

[1956panel]

my bad it around 75 or 76 at the civic aud in jax

[1956panel]

the first time i saw tom petty and the heart breakers was in jacksonville fla in 1971 or 72 ,it was a weekday and the place was empty they put on a great show

[CheddarBob39]

I love these live performances by Tom Petty. Not just because they are great songs that are performed perfectly, but because the crowd clearly loves it as well and it goes well with the music.

[max46ism]

voll cool man 

[SuperJduffman]

that is just bad ass... the full truth

[Valcurion]

I believe there are some things on this earth that are quite perfect and that put you in an undescribable mood when you expirience them , well this song is one of 'em. Just lovely

[knapier]

fantastic! I luv this live version....

[JessiEva]

[khopzjr129]

@JessiEva i dont speak german at all but i can just tell what you said and i agree

[RubySerendipity]

[buddy30585]

[Manniex3]

takes my breath away every time I hear this!!

[peterzang]

@Manniex3 You can say that again. I nearly crashed the car the first time I heard it. Sun was setting. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was.

[Manniex3]

@peterzang WOW. I could only imagine! I probly would have crashed! I get so lost in Pettys music when I'm driving down back country roads.

[legodarknight101]

In some ways it' sbetter acoustic.

[KeeYaBitch]

I wish they would have chose a live version with Howie's Vocals, His voice was just so amazing on this song.

[StonedPro]

the piano solo gives me chills =]

[peterzang]

@StonedPro Agreed

[lshaver]

Beautifully performed.

[iloverockyroad1]

This was by far his best song live

[wallis420]

this song means a lot to me.... when i was watching this live and he started this well the atmosphere was amazing everyone was singing it was the best song i ever herd live !!!!!!!! and i did by this album it is great

[peterzang]

@wallis420 I don't think I've ever heard a live re-imagining of a song that is so magnificent. And the orginal is great. But not this great.

[wallis420]

this song is 10 times better live than on cd

[wallis420]

I saw him twice in 2010 and this song is the one that gives me goosebumps every time i hear it. You are right though i own this live anthology and love every minute of it. When he sang this song in GM place in june it was magic to me.

[Manniex3]

@wallis420 I also seen him twice in 2010. I was only 19, so it was just absolutely unexplainable to have Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers right in front of me. I was so high on life. Words can't express how amazing Tom Petty concerts are. Hope I get to see him once more before they decide to retire from touring. :( Wish I was alive in the 70's & 80's.

[pdxexplorer1973]

@Manniex3 i was 19 the first time i saw tom also ..... and of all the concerts i have seen in my life, that one was the one i remember most vividly.....

[LesSmith45]

@Manniex3 No you dont dude! I use to say the same thing when i was a teen. I wish i had grew up during the cool late 50's-60's hot rod era. If I had i would be close to tipping. Now growing up during the 70's-80's was killer (I was 18 in '79). I was lucky to have had my youth during that decade. It was truly a great time. The best music in 65+ yrs of Rock n' Roll. It is nice to see some of todays youth enjoy my generations music.

[DeMarcusWareFanClub]

@wallis420

hey now,,,both versions are equally great. It's one of God's laws, every work ever done by Thomas Earl Petty are equal in greatness.

[zombiezoo100]

Love Stevie Nicks' voice on this! It's like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae. Fantastic!

[Ricks550]

Flying a heli,...this song speaks to me.

[Dcanks32]

doesnt get better than this

[Jacklynlily]

Best version of the song right here.....awesome!

[MrPurplecrayoneater]

@Jacklynlily i agree..i love the "learning to fly" in the background.. its beautiful
