I am a huge fan of studio versions because you get to hear the song as the artist intended. Engineering is very underrated in my opinion. ❤️ The channel!
I just counted and I have 40 Tom Petty songs on my playlist. One of the all time Greats. Some of my favorite songs in no particular order: Breakdown, American Girl, You Wreck Me, Running Down a Dream, Wildflowers, I Won't Back Down, You Don't Know How It Feels, Mary Jane's Last Dance, The Waiting, Learning To Fly and so many more.
My first concert, 1981. Was his biggest fan as soon as this album came out. Dig into more if his first three albums, all great. The Wild One, Forever is a hidden gem from the first.
His duet with Stevie Nicks - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around - and almost every song from his 1st solo album Full Moon Fever, especially Runnin' Down a Dream, are musts! But THIS is the quintessential Heartbreakers song.
I have loved Tom Petty since I was a teenager. My husband and I flew our son in from Barcelona to see him on his farewell tour. We were 8 rows back from the stage, amazing. This was the one song my son wanted him to sing but he never did. Regardless, it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to, he sounded amazing. R.I.P.
I have been listening to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers for many years and I remember when this song came out and I played the heck out of it. This song never gets old to me. I knew you would love this because their sound is huge on drums and keyboards. I think you would also like “Don’t do me Like That”.
Yes, these are great ones, but he did Breakdown already a few days ago. Chod, I mentioned then and will repeat that you really should hear the Breakdown studio version, that live one was really lacking! (I know, he's usually great live too!). Also, "The Waiting".
Tom Petty was a great singer. He was great and the Heartbreakers were a great band. Saw him twice once with the Heartbreakers and then on a solo tour. He was great both times. R.I.P. Tom!
I saw Tom Petty in 2001 in Corvallis Oregon. (shought out OSU). Not a single person was smoking a joint. Second song was Mary Janes Last Dance, by the 3rd note, everyone in the place had one going. The Wallflowers opened. Never heard of them. I was floored when they did One Headlight. Later found out that is Bob Dylan's son Jakobs band. Had no idea. Most unexpectedly great show I ever saw.
The only thing wrong with this song, is that it isn't longer. Get lost in the rock n roll sauce. This is the song that made me fall in love with Tom for eternity.
...The following are Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers *necessities*!: "We Stand A Chance" "Finding Out" [Most "hard rock" song that T.P. & The HBs ever recorded! 🤘🤘] "A Woman In Love (It's Not Me)" "Don't Do Me Like That" "A One Story Town" "Nightwatchman" "You Got Lucky" ...
Came here from Justin's channel where he explained your situation with Studio Hamburg. I suggest that you contact Fil who has the Wings of Pegasus channel because he went through the same problem with Studio Hamburg and they were resolved successfully. Fil's a good guy. I'm sure he'd be willing to advise you. Best of luck 👍
Back in my radio DJ days, this was an album that you could play any cut on the record and be fine -- every track is outstanding. The comparison to Dylan -- the Heartbreakers have been the backup band for Bob Dylan and also for Johnny Cash - those are some top flight credentials for a backup band!
In 1979 there were many many great albums that were released that ever single song on the album was great. This is one of those albums. If you are into collecting albums. This one is a MUST for your collection. I can name about 20 albums that came out in 1979 that are must own. Two of the biggest ones is AC/DC Highway to Hell and Pink Floyd’s The Wall.
Check out Mudcrutch, Tom Petty's original band before the Heartbreakers and reformed in the mid 2000's. They do a live version of the Byrd's Lover of the Bayou. Tom and the band are in fine form. Mike Campbell is on fire.
So many great tracks off this amazing album and his catalog runs deep. Even The Losers ,Louisiana Rain or Here Comes My Girl are from the Damn The Torpedoes album. Petty also sang with Dylan in The Traveling Wilburys. You might want to give that supergroup another go as well.
Back when this album came out I had the album cover at my work holding ( as a Department lead) all the jobs and parts needed and time to completions. It was my "Petty records holder". A pun I only held to myself. My last Name is Petty but no relations. It might have got me better seats to the 6 concerts I've been to here in the SF bay area. My secret favorite is Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers ~ Baby's A Rock 'n' Roller.
When I first discovered Tom Petty I was cool to the group until they delivered Refugee and Breakdown at which point point I realized what a glorous tight, tight band they are. The deal was sealed at that point and I've never ventured far away since. With my appreciation growing even greater with every new offering gleaned particularly via live performances.
God it still feels like this song came out just the other day. Then again 1980 seems like just the other day too. Time flies. They are smoooth in concert. So sad he left us too early.
The Heartbreakers one of the greatest tightest bands in rock and roll. Throw in that iconic Tom Petty vocal and you got one of the top bands in American rock. You gotta check up "Breakdown" next.
We usually always heard it on the radio first. Then an album. Then MTV. If we were lucky we got to see them live. But until MTV, we really didn't know what they looked like.
IF YOU'VE HAD PAST TRAUMA,SUFFERING AND PAIN,HELD DOWN BY THOSE MENTAL CHAINS,FIGHT!!! PULL YOURSELF UP AND OUT! WE HOLD OUR OWN KEY TO FREE OURSELVES-LEARN FROM THE EXPERIENCES AND MOVE FORWARD. LIFE IS NOW.
It was all in the egg shaker that gave the drive. Tom once said in an interview the songs were dragging on this album. But someone had the btight idea to add a shaker to everything in the background and it boosted it right up. I believe it was Jim Gordon.
What videos were tagged? Inquiring minds want to know... 😉 This band was always great... His music was tailored so well for his voice... which was all attitude, his inflection was all with attitude.
From what I remember, this song was a bitch trying to cut a take in the studio. After more than a hundred tries and a few days off, they managed to get it right.
I am always happier with the studio version with the exceptions of hits recorded live such as Paul McCartney & Wings/Maybe I'm Amazed and Peter Frampton/Do You Feel Like We Do as two examples. Studio versions rule! Very often, live versions are a step down from the perfection of the studio version. Example : Roberta Flack/Killing Me Softly With His Song Live is the worst version of a live performance I've ever heard and is an insult to the original studio version, which was #1 for five weeks on the singles chart. I get a sick feeling in my stomach when a reactor picks a live version to hear for the first time hearing of the song and take it as a personal insult.
Tom and Heartbreakers, well oiled machine,fantastic!
One of the first albums I ever owned, and aging myself, when it first came out.
Wore out this record!!!
TPATHB!!! What rock and roll is all about!
I am a huge fan of studio versions because you get to hear the song as the artist intended. Engineering is very underrated in my opinion. ❤️ The channel!
Thank you very much. I agree 100%.
"Face in the Crowd" is my favorite from them. Beautiful song 🎵 ❤

Break into his more obscure songs.

More Tom Petty! Breakdown, A Woman In Love ( It’s Not Me), Running Down A Dream….and so many more❤️❤️❤️
Yes, these are great ones, but he did Breakdown already a few days ago. Chod, I mentioned then and will repeat that you really should hear the Breakdown studio version, that live one was really lacking! (I know, he's usually great live too!). Also, "The Waiting".
Yes!! A Woman in Love is seriously underrated!
That Hammond organ is INCREDIBLE…the legendary Benmont Tench
This song got me hooked on Tom Petty.
Tom Petty was a great singer. He was great and the Heartbreakers were a great band. Saw him twice once with the Heartbreakers and then on a solo tour. He was great both times. R.I.P. Tom!

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, really professional rock stars showing everyone how to be really professional rock stars. Talent, unity and purpose.
Saw him twice at the Fillmore in San Francisco in 1999. I regret not seeing him again before he passed.
Petty was wonderful. On our first date, my husband took me to a Tom Petty concert (Seattle '91). Hell yes I married him, and we're still married.
"The Waiting" because Tom Petty is right it is the hardest part.
I love this and THE WAITING.
Love those Stan Lynch drums on all early Heartbreakers songs
His fill after the pause in "Don't Do Me Like That" is one of my favorite drum fills of all time. To think Jimmy Iovine didn't like his drumming...
Tom Petty is a deep well so many hits can't keep up with them all
Benmont Tench is one of the greatest rock & roll Hammond Organ player. He's got such a signature sound.
The band’s secret weapon.
Love Tom Petty ❤
Tom Petty is the King of Cool
The only thing wrong with this song, is that it isn't longer. Get lost in the rock n roll sauce. This is the song that made me fall in love with Tom for eternity.
Lost in the sauce? Lol, cya over at A and A channel..
@@caravan5557 Lol see you there No.55, love those sweet guys.
Played this album, Damn the Torpedoes 1,000 times!!
For some searing guitar riffs check out “A Woman in Love!”
Great production value. Debut album, went Platinum.
80's Dylan.
Damn the Torpedoes makes my top 20 list of all time greatest albums. Love all of Petty's stuff, but his early work....just WOW!
The second verse slays. "Tell me why you want to lay there \ Revel in your abandon" ...
Love Tom Petty, saw him 5 times. This is always a fun song. Great reactions!
The studio version is what I cut my teeth on 90% of the time. More than happy with that! Keep on, Chod!
Mike Campbell is under rated✌️♥️
Great song recorded by consummate artists. All the best with the battle against The TH-cam Man, Chod!
“Oh my my, Oh hell yes”
Tom’s live shows are without equal
This whole album is killer. All of it.
nice one Chod...glad you're still here bud😁
Glad you are still here man 🎸🎶
Breakdown is my TP favorite. Rest In Peace Mr Petty
...The following are Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers *necessities*!:
"We Stand A Chance"
"Finding Out" [Most "hard rock" song that T.P. & The HBs ever recorded! 🤘🤘]
"A Woman In Love (It's Not Me)"
"Don't Do Me Like That"
"A One Story Town"
"Nightwatchman"
"You Got Lucky"
...
You simply cannot go wrong with Tom Petty.
Maybe you haven't heard The Last DJ.
Such a damn good record

Louisiana Rain 👍👍👍👍👍
This is the song that started Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers road to Superstardom for the next 40 some years. This is a great song.
My favorite Tom Petty song. ❤ Breakdown is great too!
First time I heard Tom Petty, I thought it was Bob Dylan. It was either this or "Here Comes My Girl". Both great songs. Thank. Great review.
Love this song! Also love his "You got lucky". He had one of those signature voices. Great reaction and even greater seeing you doing it 😉

Tom Petty has the best bass vibe .
Into the Great Wide Open and Learning to Fly a couple more wonderful songs.
Best American rock band ever…probably best overall ever
Great song...great reaction!!
The Heartbreakers one of the greatest tightest bands in rock and roll. Throw in that iconic Tom Petty vocal and you got one of the top bands in American rock. You gotta check up "Breakdown" next.
Fact! American Rock and Roll Icons, and Heroes of the genre!!
Stick with it mate, your videos are great.
That's Benmont Tench [keys] and Mike Campbell [lead guitar] trading off.
...They ain't no joke. Nopes!
Petty’s best album.
Hey Chod! Excellent song by Tom. Try American Girl. R.I.P. Tom. You are truly missed.⚘⚘⚘
We usually always heard it on the radio first. Then an album. Then MTV. If we were lucky we got to see them live. But until MTV, we really didn't know what they looked like.
I much prefer studio versions anyway. Keep up the good work
Great song by Tom. He has lots of them so keep listening.
His most rockin’ song and my favorite with his Heartbreakers!

I've never heard a bad Tom Petty song.
So try Tom and Bob Dylan together. Travelling Wilburys "End of the Line"
For your next Tom Petty reaction, I think I'd go with "American Girl", but "The Waiting" is a close second.
What videos were tagged? Inquiring minds want to know... 😉 This band was always great... His music was tailored so well for his voice... which was all attitude, his inflection was all with attitude.
New sub here thanks for The music !
Tom's genius and true talent lie in his more obscure material, try albums such as Wildflowers and Echo.
in an interview Petty said they never practiced.
There is a great live version only bettered by the live version of Runnin down a Dream.
Chod...now check out "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and "Breakdown"..
Don't Do Me Like That!
I bought the album because of that song.
Chod , Benmont Tench is TP’s keyboardist and one of the best in the biz. Peace from Toronto
I think his first hit was called breakdown... check it out
From what I remember, this song was a bitch trying to cut a take in the studio. After more than a hundred tries and a few days off, they managed to get it right.
You should react to Eric Clapton 5 long years great blues performance
Great ear ! Tom petty generally sounds better in studio .Beaumont is a excellent organist .
Dude, you HAVE to check out his post 2000 stuff, MOJO is a blues masterpiece…”I Should’ve Known” and “Good Enough” are two killers
I am always happier with the studio version with the exceptions of hits recorded live such as Paul McCartney & Wings/Maybe I'm Amazed and Peter Frampton/Do You Feel Like We Do as two examples.

Song is way too short!!!
I don’t like Bob Dylan ❤️Tom Petty
