I so agree with you on that. God, I miss him. WE are the ones left mourning though -- all of us who loved him so much. HE got to do what he loved all of his life, right down to his very last days. And boy did he do some fine things with that talent of his. It was never wasted. Not an ounce of it. RIP sweet Tom....❤️
Everything thing I see of Tom makes me love him more and miss that little bit more. I doubt we'll find another quite like him, and that makes me sad, but I believe we were blessed to have him. Generations from now will hear and love his music. Tom hasn't gone anywhere just yet. The waiting is the hardest part.
Yes Kim, i miss him dearly. His music was the soundtrack to my youth, my life. i never cried over the loss of an entertainer but i cried like a baby the day Tom died!
I miss Tom and the Heartbreakers =( I grew up on this music! From the time I was 17 I was hooked!!! Got backstage once in the early 80's!!! BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!! I am 58, soon to be 59. It makes me sad to watch this. Tom loved US like no other!!!!! He did the last tour with a broken hip! Now THAT IS LOVE!!!!! He didn't want to let us down!!!!! MISS YOU TOM!!!!!! =(
Tom was a Cub Scout! He was always adorable but just getting fine at 40. I'm so glad he was content at 40 which confirms at 66 and still selling out shows he knew he had succeeded. He was always so humble. There will never be another to come close to him.
He was pretty darned HOT at 40 yrs old, wasn't he..?? I mean, he was always so damned cute. Loved him from almost the start. But as he evolved, he grew even hotter. I LOVE him at 40❤️ Whew. Hotness.
i remember my sister blasting American girl for weeks when it first came out. So i snuck into her room and took the album; i sure got into trouble for that! But it changed my life forever.
Allyn, thank you and God bless you for all of the very cool PETTY vids. I don't have any family left, never could have babies, and I will always feel a kinship to Tom Petty. LORD knows he got me through some hard times!! Feeling depressed because tomorrow is his birthday. I def appreciate all the music he left us. Feeling alone and a little suicidal.
Oh don't be sad. This too will pass. Please speak to someone and maybe your doctor. It's not easy this old life but you never know what's round the corner x
Just want to send you Alohas and just remember its not always dark. Music makes us feel good and helps our minds and souls. We all go through hard times and then we find love again. Take care and lets celebrate Tom Petty's music and life.
@@@judyharpur1083 thanks for that! We all go through hard times and think it too bad but their is always someone close to you and help its just in reach. Music always helps me and Tom Petty is one of them come through always. Aloha to you too.
I call Tom “my blonde Jesus” because he has helped me get thru this life far more than the one I was raised on. I had started saying that back some time before he died, but it’s even more true since. Lol, in shock when he was pronounced dead, I said..... “well maybe he’ll rise again in three days...” And truth be told, he DOES keep rising again. Not sure he’s resting peacefully; more likely he’s still working pretty hard at what he loves the most.
The feeling I used to get when I heard Tom Petty’s music... I still get that feeling from time to time. The country he was singing about is mostly gone now... or is it?
I kinda think so, but not only because of "bad" people, etc. I think back in the day we were separated by region and the regions were highly distinctive. They were from Gainesville, and Gainesville was its own "thing" and he brought that Southern flair to California just like other bands from that region (Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, etc.) let their southern rock sound emerge -- it wasn't as easy to get around so it was a big deal when everybody kind of "met up" with each other through mass media. Now, it's like we have one big "monoculture" where the stores are the same in every state and town, the radio got all bought up, everybody is kind of herded into a "sameness" which just isn't as cool.
Thanks for posting. He's like your friend, the one you never met. Smoking since High School, odds are he'd have many more years without the tobacco messing with his body. At least he kicked heroin!
You're so absolutely right. He's like the friend we've never met. I honestly can't say that about too many people, if even anyone else at all. So humble, so gracious, so genuinely talented, and so willing to share all of his talents with us. He was just a fine man. I'm gonna miss him for a very long, long time. If I feel like this, I can only imagine how all of his bandmates are feeling (40+ years of being together & knowing one another, like a band of brothers) and Dana and his kids.. :(
Not to be a party pooper or step on Tom's legacy because he, in my mind was a beautiful soul, with the true gift of music in his blood. But he died of a drug overdose from touring with a broken hip. The last tour he has a fracture in his hip and by the time he got home it was a full on break and he took some pills before bed and just never woke up again. It's super sad. That said fuck all that drug shit. He was a great man and will always be my favorite musician of all time. Rest in peace tommy
Tom Petty will always be the soundtrack of my teenage years and is still relevant today. You always know his songs with the first cords and his phenomenal vocals. You really can’t put his music in a box because he always changed things up. His collaborations were always amazing.
The Gainesville documentary (saw it on Netflix I think) is a show I can and did watch over and over. Not to be a bummer but Tom Petty died of an opiate/benzo (accidental) overdose according to the LA Coroner. No matter, still love your work Tom Petty.
Round the clock creative is from someone who is hard on himself, sometimes from childhood abuse, but he created beauty. I’m in the same boat, and I hate sharing my musical secrets with other musicians. But sometimes I begrudgingly do…I love his daisy shirt..
It's too bad a lot of people (mostly Americans) don't recognize character writing (a narrative written from someone ELSE'S point-of-view) when they hear it,which is how Tom most often wrote. They think if he's singing it, that is how he feels and thinks . Then you get Tom, upset at the misunderstanding, not playing that song anymore,which is what happened to "Rebels" and some other great songs. They would only play them in Europe, etc where they are more likely to understand those literary devices. It was a real shame.
Those clips towards the end, where he has the sunglasses and scruffy face, was that it's own interview that was aired on it's own? I remember watching one where he looked like that. I was a little kid and only saw it once and haven't seen it since.
Damn !!! Is this my FINE and SEXY STAN??? ❤️❤️❤️ What happened to the shiny black hair that I wanted to run my fingers through??? ❤️❤️❤️. ❤️ u STAN !!!
Hi ma'am you don't know who I am how did you get all this music from Tom Petty I love Tom Petty but I don't trust looking at your TH-cam channel I was just curious and thank you for your time ma'am

Howie Epstein. Bless him
I hate that Tom left us too soon but this video is a reminder of the incredible life he packed into those 66 years.
He was 3 weeks short of 67.
I so agree with you on that. God, I miss him. WE are the ones left mourning though -- all of us who loved him so much. HE got to do what he loved all of his life, right down to his very last days.

Nick Brookes there will never be another Tom Petty. One of the few that made every single thing he made with his soul. He never sold out
Nick Brookes ,.
You are so right. The more I see Tom, the more my love for him grows. I love everything about him.
All of the above ❤🎶
He deserved every success he attained. I'm just being selfish by wishing we could have had him for a Much longer time. RIP Tom.
Very well said.
Will never have anyone else like this in the world. When I hear his music it makes me both want to smile and cry... miss youTom
Old adage, you never realize how good something is until you lose it. What a loss :(
I cannot see or hear enough of Tom. 🎩✨💕
RIP TOM PETTY
I still repeat the words of wisdom I
Learned from you!
He was humble, gracious, gifted and so many things to so many people. He will be so missed.
Yes Kim, i miss him dearly. His music was the soundtrack to my youth, my life. i never cried over the loss of an entertainer but i cried like a baby the day Tom died!
Beautiful blue eyed southern man with special talent love you so - always Heart breakers too

Shannon Kringen crying here, too...😭😭💔
He was such a humble, gracious human being with a heart as big as they come. Not many Tom Pettys in this world. He was one in a million❤️
I remember it the too. Was 5 years old but I had already been a tom fan since I was 2 by then

An amazing person, nice man and a great musician to boot. Much missed!

Perfect song
Rest in paradise Tom Petty. What a great talent and sad ending to this legend ❤️
This was fairly early footage' so glad it's been preserved.

HIs BOW is just incredible truly one of the greatest R&R songwriters ever. RIP TOM.Thank you for what you left us.
Thank you so much for posting this.
What a loss just can't accept it
Melanie Kaweck me neither....😭😭😭😭💔
Melanie Kaweck he isn’t lost, his spirit is always here
None of us can :(
@@noahp5042 True
Damn what a great ending; him playing his first ever song
The feeling I used to get when I heard Tom Petty’s music... I still get that feeling from time to time. The country he was singing about is mostly gone now... or is it?
777jones only if you allow it to! I believe Tom would fight tooth & nail to keep it the right way.

Tom Petty, inspired my original song "The Long Road" I wrote it after listening to Tom's " I won't back down"
Durable, lovable. rock n' roll-able, Tom you are adorable, that's music oh ye.
Tom Petty will always be the soundtrack of my teenage years and is still relevant today. You always know his songs with the first cords and his phenomenal vocals. You really can’t put his music in a box because he always changed things up. His collaborations were always amazing.
Great interview ❤️❤️❤️❤️
💫💘Can’t get Enough of watching & Listening to Tom, Love & Miss You💘💫
Free Falling one of ,2Tom Petty songs that I used to do at karaoke . I only new the 2 . The other was I Won't Back Down ,?!! ❤️❤️❤️ Sincerely Dàrlene

I got to see Petty at Astroworld in 1977. Back when the Texas Cyclone Rollercoaster was the newest attraction at the park.

I’m 67. Tom petty is my music. The sky is the limit❤
Seems too many absolutely amazing musicians leave us too soon...
Total bad ass, I’m sad he’s not with us.
I swear most of his songs sound like #1 hits
BIG LOVE!! ❤

Well said. Reminds me of Springsteen who used that format for most of his career
This is fantastic.

I really want to see this interview as well!!
Do I hear a second for a Gator badge when you have demonstrated you know your chords?

Good on you Tom
