Burke's version is a rumba beat and is absolute soul. The Stones covered it and turned it into a slow blues - with Brian Jones playing great blues guitar throughout. Petty's version is in line with the Stones' blues version.
Tom Petty had a classic "one liner" concerning this concert. Springsteen was a huge super star at this time, and Tom went on before Bruce's segment of the show. When reassured that the audience was not "booing" him, but instead was yelling "Bruce!", his rely: "What's the difference?" Perfect.
Still hard to believe that’s he’s no longer here with us, a piece of my heart died, memories of my youth listening to his music and relating to so many of his lyrics, his voice soothing my soul during times that I needed comfort. 😢💔
Dennis thank you so much for this audio of this amazing performance by Tom in 1979. But please could you put up a photo of him from 1979 and I love every photo of top me this photo up there's gorgeous but it's doesn't go with a song that he's singing in 1979 so there's a lot of photos of him out there so I have to say I haven't seen one that I know of it's supposedly dated that year but definitely even you could use one from there's gobs of them from 1978 and 1977 so maybe use one of those photos if you can't find something from 1979! Thank you so much! ..somebody else has asked you this question here also. like I said this is a a lovely picture of Tom but it just isn't it sits decades away from this song that you posted so please post a photo from the '70s thank you
Love this version! Wish I could see it in a live video. Love Tom Petty, I think he's Awesome as is his Music. He was one of a kind & will be missed by all.
I think you’re referring to the No Nukes concert, of which a movie was made. I read an interview once where Tom explained why he pulled out. As I recall, he said the band hadn’t played together in a while, didn’t have a chance to rehearse, and were playing borrowed instruments. I remember this quote pretty closely: he said “some people thought I was a dick for pullin’ out, but it wasn’t something I’d wanna see on late night television for the rest of my life.”
This version tears your heart out..............just like the song is supposed to. Tom and Breakers...............the Beatles of today in terms of creativity and songs with great hooks. Tom grew up 10 minutes from me. I go over there in front of his house just park and feels the vibes.................................................(someone else owns it now)
Love, love, love this version. Must be one of the few Tom Petty songs I don't have from one of Tom's albums. I somehow missed this one. Got to find it!
This was recorded at the "NO NUKES" concert in 1979 at Madison Square Garden, for a Nuclear Free Future. Song #21........I know of no other recordings of this song by Tom & the Heartbreakers. One of the best!
This was a song he did live on the No Miles Concert with Doobies and CSN and jesse collin young Jackson Browne and more. There is a live double album. My dad bought it when it first came on sell at the original Sound Warehouse. the n the 70s around 76 or 77. No Nukes. Last of the Cold War Days.
Angie, I have no input on how to find the album. But the Cold War went well into 1989. I was in the navy till 83. The soviet union began disbandING IN 1991 THOUGH SATELITE COUNTRIES LIKE ROMAMNIA GOT RID OF COMMUNISM IN 1989
I'm not about to heap eulogies but to be fair this is truly America's finest in action his recent passing is to be mourned by those of us who loved him but all the time you can hear this he shall always live
Yes...he lives all over the place, thank the Lord. He's got his own show still (taped of course) on his own Sirius radio station.........and tons of live material is now available. Amazing guy. I know 66 seems old, but he was too young to die.
When u are alone just cry. You will be alone. Cry n cry n crybaby it never is enough but this person will stop. Remember! Good song. Makes me sad. Mmmm
Sounds a lot like Jagger and this is The Stones arrangement. Original by Solomon Burke has totally different groove. Petty is gettin' down on this one. Mike Campbell is doing slide guitar much in the style of the great Mick Taylor, too. Sweet!
larry geetar yeah absolutely agree. Having grown up listening to these guys live as Mudcrutch then getting to listen and watch them grow and evolve has been a very cool experience musically. It's great when you get a group as talented as this or the Rolling Stones with enough staying power (i.e. talent & ability to grow) to get to really listen to the music (and see the band) as it develops. But, always thought he really laid on the Mick Jagger on this though and would have preferred to hear his own take/version of it if that makes sense. Still awesome, just saying from a musical standpoint lol. Lady Anne ^^ö^^
Omg. This is gem . Period .
Amazing cover Rest in Peace Tom 😢❤
Tom's version takes this classic Solomon Burke tunes to a greater level of blues/rock. RIP TOM
Burke's version is a rumba beat and is absolute soul. The Stones covered it and turned it into a slow blues - with Brian Jones playing great blues guitar throughout. Petty's version is in line with the Stones' blues version.
Rip Tom. You are in heaven now. Sing there
Thank you, Dennis, for sharing this video. TPHB's didn't do this song often so it's a real treasure when someone finds it & posts it.
OMG this is the best cover of this song
The Stones did a similar renditionin in '67
Tom Petty had a classic "one liner" concerning this concert. Springsteen was a huge super star at this time, and Tom went on before Bruce's segment of the show. When reassured that the audience was not "booing" him, but instead was yelling "Bruce!", his rely: "What's the difference?" Perfect.
I feel like crying right about now. Thanks for all the great music Tom. Damn fucking shame there won't be any more of it..
Ford Country I'll cry with ya!!😥
In our hearts 💕 and soul. Tp never forget 🌹 ❤️
🎑👁️👁️🔹 I shared with a Friend. Sometimes, i feel like crying.❤
I remember seeing the No Nukes concert movie in 1980, 1981 - many stellar performances, but this was the best!
Tom i miss you..
This is a beautiful version ....I listen to it weekly.
Me too!! Heart❤
I don't know that I have ever heard a song Tom Petty sang that I liked anymore than this song!!
Great performance
Tom wrote 20 great songs. This is a great cover. You have heard Tom sing many of his own songs that you liked better than this.
All great singers rip this one up. Check Willy DeVille out
I was there! We love you, Tom...
Still hard to believe that’s he’s no longer here with us, a piece of my heart died, memories of my youth listening to his music and relating to so many of his lyrics, his voice soothing my soul during times that I needed comfort. 😢💔
Sweetsuziblues1 Everything you said is exactly how I feel, too. I can't come to terms with him being gone. 😿
Sweetsuziblues1 Me too!! Tears come to my eyes still hearing his voice😪
Same here....
I couldn't agree more, miss him everyday, still weep at times.

Love this version! Wish I could see it in a live video. Love Tom Petty, I think he's Awesome as is his Music. He was one of a kind & will be missed by all.
This was filmed for a movie but Tom Petty would not let his performance be released. Bummer!

R.I.P. Dear Tom Petty. You will be missed.❤️❤️❤️
Rest in Peace Tom Petty
I feel like cryin' , like cryin' , like cryin' ... c'mon babe , cry to me . ( 25 years crying with this song )
This version tears your heart out..............just like the song is supposed to. Tom and Breakers...............the Beatles of today in terms of creativity and songs with great hooks.
Tom grew up 10 minutes from me. I go over there in front of his house just park and feels the vibes.................................................(someone else owns it now)
Cool. I would do the same thing. R.I.P. Tom Petty
Love it ..miss him ..

Nope… he surpassed them.
