Tom Petty,inspiration to Supergrass..........I'm not sure abut the crazy black chick backing singer, but that wasa pretty faithful reading of one of Tom's better songs.
Saw Petty in 1990. Best thing about Petty and the heartbreakers is they sound exactly the same live as on their albums. One of the greatest song writers.
A friend of mine on seeing and hearing this particular video was really impressed and said half jokingly, 'it's the kind of one you'd like to see on your death bed!"
I love how Tom's always singing between the refrain's like he's just talking to you: I dunno, maybe sumthin' happened to u when u were a kid... I dunno, but..." with or without the fucking smile, i love this attitude.
Scumbag video directors: organ carries song, but never show the guy playing it. Instead they zoom in on the lead guitar and backup singers. WTF Yes, I'm a bitter keyboard player.
@DannoBoston While I agree the keys are a key part of the song, I think it's a stretch to say they 'carry' the song. Take Mike Campbell out of the equation and it's not The Heartbreakers any more. Although I don't recall many videos that feature Tench prominently, with the exception of the Soundstage show.
This guy is an America treasure. Mike Campbell FTW on the vintage Les Paul Gold Top! They were one of the best bands that played on that day. Absolutely not lip synched.
I've loved Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers since i was 12, and guess what, I Still Do. Tom would you please come back to Kansas City, so i can c you before i die.
@gege92800 "Beautiful video, one suggestion if I can: that Youtube places the year of the recording on these videos, thank you." J'adore cette langue!
Tom's best song.. Maybe coulda lost the horns and added some more crunch on the LP and made the solo a lot longer.. and 80% of that solo was ONE CHORD c'mon dude I can see you're a great player cut loose!
But still great stuff I study this vid - great act... Those chick singers remind me of Roger Waters' singers.
Hate to point it out but he is totally lip singing that just watch his mouth it dont match the words and b4 everyone flips out on me i am a huge fan so just let that be known
@auttyautterson hahahahahahahahahaha you must be fucking kidding me, if you dont know anything about music just shut up and listen and enjoy the entertainment WTF
I miss Stan Lynch, however Ferrone (?) is still a rocker. These guys are always on. In hindsight I wonder if Tom felt the horn section was way out of place here. Still, great performance.
I agree with Polar Bear this is fucking Tom Petty this was our first attempt at saving the world what have you done lately in your world...Bless Bob Geldolf Live on Tom..
tom is miming is this video, or the sound is out of sync. there again pretty much everyone at that gig was miming. thats how much people care about saving the world....
everyone wants to save it, but doesnt want to help, its always someone elses job.
In '48 Israel kicked out 750,000 indigenous people off the land!
In October 2009, Obama signed a presidential memo eliminating a tariff on Israel that protected American dairy FARMERS and which raised money for the American economy!
Israel is one of the richest nations on earth, a nation that consistently flouts US laws and policies in violation of US trade agreements blocking American products entirely from being imported into Israel and O screwed US Dairy FARMERS!
This song brings back so many memories of the 80s to me... if it werent for someone I know well- that turned me on to this back in the day- I would have never gotten into playing- when I did.
He is one of the greatest artists around... Through all the struggles with major record labels, band changes, living on the road, etc...He's great LIVE! Love it and I want that jacket!!! ROCK ON TP ;)
To fattirevsbud, I don't know if a person can mention the names of their bands or companys on youtube. We're from Upstate New York and are a band of guys with various disabilities. We travel a lot and seem to kick enough ass to keep in work. We have a tour bus and mostly play in the northeastern states but have played in Athens Greece. Only as far west as Boise.
Anyone know where that was? I play in an up and coming band who headlined for a little over 17,000 folks at a show last year. It was fun but crapping myself came to mind watching this.
