No other musician’s death affected me like Tom Petty’s. In my opinion, he along with the Heartbreakers represented the best American music had to offer
Yeah, honestly the only famous person or celebrity I shed a tear for in my life upon hearing of his passing. His live shows gave me and my friends so many great memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
Me too! Damn the Torpedoes marked the beginning of my love of my own music lol was the first album I bought with my own money and this is one was my favorite!
How in the world do you single out one song of Tom Petty and THE HEARTBREAKERS as your favorite song of their's.. This one is among my hundred or so favorite TP&THB tunes..
yup! nailed it. ya gotta be a drummah! hes so laid back in pocket but plays on top too! heard hes not a good “team” player but hes an awsome drummer! Steve Ferrone is awesome too kind similar
Tom Petty & the HB were such a magnet for people by their sound, lyrics & energy. I watch this & think damn it IS a drag living in the past because he’s no longer with us & no one will ever his place😭. Stan was the best too.
He is gone and greatly missed....I was fortunate to see him back in the day, BUT seeing this video reminds me what are we doing to save our farms?? We do not want to rely on other countries for our food. We need to do whatever it takes to save our family farms. This country needs to wake up.
Awesome song, songwriter , poet , performer ..knowing his past was a gem in everyway..we all have issues..seems like he cared so very much in every way...its so sad how depression and issues can consume and take us away !🙏
When I was 17 I plagiarized these lyrics as if they were mine to impress a " clueless" girl friend. And it worked. I think Tom would approve. What memories.
After seeing his performance at Live Aid on TV in 1985, I had to see him live. Saw him the next year in '86 and 7 more times until 1993. Then decided to see him again in 2017 at the Hollywood Bowl with my then girlfriend. He and the band still kicked ass!! Never would've imagined it would be his last shows. When he passed I was home and it was going back and forth all day. He passed, he didn't, he did. When the announcement was official that he was really gone I cried and cried. Damn. Then I texted my girlfriend who was at work. About two or three minutes later I only got this in response 😢. I sent her back, I know Laura, I know. I still miss him. One of the best bands I've ever seen live. I've been to hundreds of shows and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are about the best. But I'd be hard pressed to say which was better live? T.P. and the Heartbreakers were that good.
When I was a kid and felt left out and wished I was part of the in crowd I would put this on my record player and blast it. It always made me feel better.
Claniel Dancy Your point is spot on with Steve, he absolutely has earned being a Heartbreaker. And each has their own merits what they’ve brought to the band. it’s the attitude and vibe that Stan exudes....very rebellious just like TP. Those of us who were around in the early days, feel this edge and power. Absolutely no doubt about it.
No disrespect to Steve Ferrone at all, but Stan does some fills here Ringo himself would nod and say “Yeah, that’s how it’s done, mate.” Whole band is in rare form in this-check out Ben rocking out at 1:20 and during Mike C’s solo. Tight!

@henryobryanmnokidding558 Amen! I was so heart broken 💔
When I heard this song as a struggling 14 year old feeling like a square peg in a round hole, I knew then I’d survive and get lucky too!
😂❤
great band all the way around, cant beat it
"It couldn't have been that easy to forget about me" ... Gone too soon
"God, it's such a drag when you're living in the past" My phone started ringing off the hook when he passed. I loved this man.

Tom was born for the stage……do you all miss Him.
yeah gone too soon☮
:❤😢 🙏
Very much... I listen to Tom Petty radio on Sirius XM...
impossible to really say, but I keep coming back to this song as my favorite by TP....I don´t think he ever wrote a shitty song, bless him
yup and the breaks and bridge is just awesome. pretty song.
love Stan on drums. so laid back
I’m with you I go back and forth but I think I end up here and he and the heartbreakers are the same I always end up back with Tom as my favorite
I was there. Went to see Dylan, but left the concert a Tom Petty fan! Thanks for the memories, Tom.
I was there too, my first Dead show what a weekend it was!
OMG, what an evening… I wish I had the chance to see Mr. Petty live at least once 😞
Ha ha I’m not surprised 🤩🎸💔

Immortal rockers like the great tom petty are a dying breed
I went into shock when I heard he passed away, DJ'S on the radio were crying, I loved him so much.
RIP PETTY !!! Hope you are floating on some wonderful cloud jamming out! One of the greatest musicians EVER!!!
Stan Lynch was such a great part of this band! Great sound and style.
yup! nailed it. ya gotta be a drummah! hes so laid back in pocket but plays on top too! heard hes not a good “team” player but hes an awsome drummer! Steve Ferrone is awesome too kind similar
TP & the HB struck pay-dirt with "Damn the Torpedos" in 1979, which reached #2 on the Billboard LP charts and sold 3x Platinum.
The best Tom Petty song ever....everyone can relate to this song.
Well put! We all been there
All I want to know is, who are the 11 stone cold FOOLS who down-voted this video? Shame on you!
Nah,, they liked it so much they turned their computer upside down and voted thumbs up twice!
They probably thought Toby Keith was a generational talent

That was 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸hot performance. Tom Petty is greatly missed R.I.P. Good man 👌🏼❤️

One of my favorite songs. And the words say's it all.
This was filmed at the July 4, 1986 show at Rich Stadium in Buffalo, NY.
Tom's late 70's/early 80's material like this song was just so good.
This song and band captured a shining moment in time in modern life.
Classic Tom Petty! His band is fabulous...♥
Yes! even the losers , get lucky Sometimes. LOVE YOU TOM!!!
Awesome song, songwriter , poet , performer ..knowing his past was a gem in everyway..we all have issues..seems like he cared so very much in every way...its so sad how depression and issues can consume and take us away !🙏

Gotta love some Tom Petty 🎶🎶🤘🤘
absolutely a kick-ass performance by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers one of their very best!
I am still getting used to the fact that he is gone!
The quality is incredible, thanks for sharing that!! Tom Tom Tom !!
When I was a kid and felt left out and wished I was part of the in crowd I would put this on my record player and blast it. It always made me feel better.
Thanks for all the great shows Tom.. I was lucky 4 times to witness ur greatness..RiP
We were lucky enough to see his last concert. He inspired the younger generation too: @
DTT is a great album!!! the heartbreakers at the top of their game here as usual.

Those 🎸 and 🥁 and those lyrics! 💘
We smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon...
Paul Grubbs tom is da man period

RIP BROTHER!
I loved the Stan era the most. He just made it work.
Stan was irreplaceable I'm afraid. He drove that band and his sound is great.
absolutely
Steve Ferrone was no slouch
Guy stood in and became a heartbreaker

This was at Rich Stadium in Buffalo, as was the Dead's portion of the Farm Aid show in 1986.
Stan Lynch is the man
true dat
Their secret weapon. He set the tone for the intensity of the songs. He could lay back or be a powerhouse.
Marina Musiclover as Tom said...Stan had that 5th gear that just exploded.
The Heartbreakers were never the same when he left.
The Heartbreakers were never the same when he left.
R.I.P. one of the all time best
God it’s such a drag when your living in the past even the loser’s get lucky sometimes, my favorite line and I’m just waiting on my lucky
Love love love TOM PETTY

Dam, I miss him already! When one of your rock idols passes and there have been a few, you know you're getting old. RIP!
