Here's Tom Petty's comment the day after Garry died: "I’ve known Garry for a long time. We go back to the mid-80’s. I just want people to remember what great work he gave us. The Larry Sanders Show just stands as some of the best TV work ever done. He was always quiet about his talent and just a really decent guy. We had a very strong friendship. We kept in touch all that time. You know, he’d come to our shows, and he’d hang out with us. I went to his house many times and he would come to my house. It was a comfortable friendship where if he came over I didn’t feel like I had to entertain him, and it was the same way back. He had an incredibly original talent, and as a man I can’t say enough about him. He was more than a showbiz acquaintance to me, he was a dear friend, and I will miss him."
They were great friends. And I feel honored they shared it with us. If only we could have friendships this great. I wish they had kept rolling. Garry was getting teary eyed, and that is part of all friendships. RIP to these two greats. Both departed at age 65. Both creative geniuses, ...still producing up until the end.
So hard for TP to be that candid -- I'm jewish and suddenly dropping in on friends when you know your time is limited -- I understand the prison of celebrity but I would do that. Funny reflective deeply painful to watch; I take a stand on breach of boundaries but it's ok to watch this and not rent the Bogdanovitch official bio video -- makes zero sense.
The great friendship between the two was great, I just watched Gary with Jerry Seinfeld and those two were really funny together. But I DO MISS BOTH OF THESE GREAT TALENTS MORE THAN ANYONE COULD KNOW. I felt SO BAD when both of them left us. All we can do is listen to you heir Music and all the great music legacy left to us, and watch all the great comedy by a genius unique comedian. Fortunately there is a sizable amount from both of these greatly missed talents! R.I.P. Gary Shandling and R.I.P. Tom Petty!
Bad faery at the party. I don't know what happened that day but Dana was hiding in the bedroom and Tom was the ultimate introvert it felt like a huge intrusion watching this. If it's real, Gary Schandling must have told him he was dying or something. This video should be removed but of course won't be because of the lack of boundaries on the part of fans who have now been termed as engaging in what is now officially parasocial relationships with people they will never meet often and now permanently dead. Were I Dana I would hide in the bedroom as well. !st time Warren Zane Tom's biographer met him outside his house he was in camo hiding in the bushes outside the restaurant. You people are clueless.
It is strange to be 63 and notice we think about these things and start to prepare for this. We are apart but still one with each other. Guess we will always be together one way or another.
Absolutely or if they did they would then be put in a corner and not talked to at said party……two incredibly talented humans of prose and artistry RIP gentlemen the world was better place with you in it!
Just watched Tom Petty Documentary then watched some Larry Sanders which brought me to this. I remembered this and now watching it again how profound it is. Life is short everyone. Both were 66. Definitely too short for these two incredible talents. I laugh and it’s sad at the same time…
Exactly. I'm glad some can appreciate that. If it's to be, I'll be 70 in a couple months. 66 definately is too young, especially for talent like that. Kindred spirits I would say.
Who ever is responsible for posting this, THANK YOU. I've watched this several times now and each time I get more and more out of it. Thank you again...
Yep, just read an article too, where he basically said he'd never quit. He became vegetarian too, he said because of factory farming but I'd bet his Doc said something about it too. That said, Garry...a card carrying health fanatic who yet, was a stress-y dude. Nah...none of us know when...be good to yourself, stay cool and never forget to laugh and always, always watch re-runs of The Larry Sanders Show and listen to the GREAT Tom Petty.
I must say those are great prescriptions, especially laffs. all this talk of an intrusion, geez, regular folks even, are sometimes divided about having company. the wife may want to look her best. and they're shooting video. "the doors are open", as Mr. Petty says.
Until this very moment, I had no idea these two guys even knew each other. Each separately had amazingly profound insight into creativity. Mind blown! Thanks.
And this is really what TH-cam is about to me... this made my day worthwhile. An unvarnished conversation between two adult humans who have led extraordinary lives. Thanks for uploading.
"I'm just keeping my eye on that Neverland Ranch, if it ever goes up for sale. Because he's already done all the work"... Damn, that made me laugh. Miss both of them!
RIP Garry Shandling (November 29, 1949 - March 24, 2016), aged 66 And RIP Tom Petty (October 20, 1950 - October 2, 2017), aged 66 You both will be remembered as legends.
I saw this years ago after TP passed away. And I thought this video was kind of uncanny, after the way they were talking in it and what they were saying. It's almost like fate knew they were both going to be gone shortly.
I LOVE this! Just cried my eyes out having heard you have died today! Thank you peaky hat for our wonderful talks : you were so REAL & FUN . R.I.P you LEGEND 🌹💋❤️
I guess I never realized these two guys were "really" friends - makes sense as they seem to be of the same personality! Thanks guys for keeping us entertained all those years - rest in peace.
Tonight is the first time I have seen this video. Ironically today I chose to quit smoking...again. I'm 63 and in great shape (I thought). When Tom died at 66 from a heart attack I decided to see the doctor to have my blood pressure checked the other day. It was always low, 110 to 120. The other day it was 145 this was due to picking up smoking again. It was a year ago that I restarted. Now I'm Jonesing, but I'm done with cigs. Tom died from smoking like a chimney, the same with Bowie. If you don't smoke, please never try it. It absolutely sucks and it's one of the most addictive drugs on earth. I'll be okay in 3 days when the nicotine is out of my system. But the habit will take longer to diminish. Miss you Tom Petty!
BangTaoBeach May your road to being smoke free be a steady one. But if it's rough, most likely, hold on, cry, exercise and eat well through the shit. Bless you
That is life in form. You collect all this precious stuff, vintage analog equipment. Great guitars and amps, and mixing boards. Then you pass on without it. This is not a sad thing, but to realize every most sacred, private, special thing of mine, will just be left, when I pass on.
OMG too funny - and so laid back! Both these guys are such excellent and talented entertainers in their own right. Thank you for sharing this gem! It's great that their memories will live on in audio and video. RIP Gary and Tom. You left us too young, and too soon-- but with these classics, you'll always keep rocking us!
@@designerlarry tx Larry. Dana would not come out of the bedroom or wherever she was and for me it did feel like an an intrusion; I don't revisit this video because ... finish the sentence. And yes to everything you wrote. Except there was a glimpse of his dog at the time I banish myself.
This is so interesting. The conversation they were having, Garry saying that we should tell people we love them as you never know, and Tom telling the story of how Garry stood looking out over the landscape and said 'It's the end of the world.' These kind of topics, philosophical questions, are usually discussed when you're at the end of your life, when you know you are ill. I didn't know much, if anything, about Garry Shandling, but I believe he sadly died not that long after this. It's as if somewhere in our subconscious, we 'know' we're at that point. He seemed a lovely guy. I'm glad they filmed this, I'm sure Tom will treasure it.
Gary Shandling lived almost another 20 years after this was recorded, so I doubt he was anticipating his demise any more than anyone does throughout their life. If you listen to the context and the way it was said, it wasn't a reference to one's death anyway. "Said as an observer, from the outside."
This was filmed in 2006 (released in 2007) and Shandling died in 2016. He had another 10 years to go and Petty had 11 1/2 years to go. I hope they loved their last decade.
@@globalmonkey007 Thank you for that. I was curious as to how soon they each passed after this was recorded. Garry looks so hale and hearty here, while Tom looks washed out. Tom still smoked, which probably contributed to his funereal pallor. I couldn't tell what Garry was drinking. Perhaps club soda? If it was a sugared drink, then it wasn't good for him.
I have never seen this before, or even knew about Garry's interviewing show. Or whatever this is. But... WOW. This is amazing. I was a kid when I accidentally discovered the Garry Shandling show and the quirky humor. I was bummed when it ended, and didn't like the Sanders show as much but I didn't know anyone else who was into his humor as much as I was. I was also raised on LOTS of Tom Petty from my dad. So seeing this... Wow. what an awesome and hilarious pairing.
The idea that Tom Petty second-guessed parts of his performances is both bewildering and comforting. I'll try to remember that the next time I'm beating myself up with woulda-coulda-shouldas.
I have watched several interviews of Tom Petty, some real good ones. But this chat with his pal Gary Shandling is the best thing I have found of Tom speaking. It's so real and interesting. Just Tom being Tom, at home with a friend. I've watched it about 7 times now. Soon to be 8.
Garry passed last year at age 66. Tom died at age 66 this year. They are both gone without any warning. A blood clot to the lung and heart attack respectively. There will never be a Tom Petty again. Someone like Tom Petty only comes once. I've probably had 5 different copies of Damn the Torpedoes in my life. People kept stealing it from me. Mostly exwives and girlfriends. Pink Floyd the Wall and The Eagles greatest hits/Hotel California were the ones that disappeared most. My daughter has been singing "Free Fallin'" since she was 2 years old. I always put the cassette in for her to sing in the back seat. She's in College now and it's still her favorite song.
It scares me as a smoker myself to see how Tom chains those cancer rifles down. I'm so scared and heartbroken to hear how Tom died of a massive heart attack. I gotta quit somehow. I wish Tom did. Maybe we'd all have him with us today.😢
Try Chantix, I quit in 1 month after 40 years been smoke free for 9 years, & I hate to say it but I bet Tom died from smoking he seemed like a heavy smoker.
This video is good for my soul. When I'm feeling down I come here, both amazing men gone too soon. I remember watching The Gary Shandling Show on the tube TV in my moms bedroom cause it was the only room with AC when I was a kid. And Tom, well, been a fan since the first time I heard Free Fallin. Both gone way too soon.
I don't think I can describe exactly how I feel having watched it. I'm now 61& a half. I was a fan of both these guys. they both died way too young, and now I find this video I didn't know existed where they share real feelings (despite 3 cameras). I felt exactly the same about both their deaths .now? so soon? it makes me even happier though, that I finally visited my uncle yesterday ,who I have only seen recently at the funerals of 2 of his sons(my first cousins) in the recent past ,about 2 yrs time .he's lost 4 sons in all. (a family of 14 kids in 2 marriages)he turns 89 in Dec. and he looks great! (not a smoker) .my Dad, his brother, a retired firefighter ,died suddenly at 65 . I've been at the point where I fear I could go before him, and not see him ONCE socially .we really don't know what that next day on the calendar will bring .I was very entertained by this, but it will now be a constant reminder of just how short life can be. always seeing Petty playing & singing, I really didn't know how much he smoked.
Garry Shandling Was one year older than Tom. Gary passed way in 2016 at 66 years old. Tom passed away in 2017 at 66 years old Three weeks shy of his 67th birthday. RIP.
Wow. Two amazing artists. Both dead at the age of 66. And after a year of losing Bowie and Leonard Cohen, this loss just made me feel kicked in the gut.
The beauty of true friends... Hopefully, everyone gets to experience gets this kind of friendship. Where doesn't matter if you haven't seen each other in years, the conversation and feeling hasn't skipped a beat. As if there was no time apart. Everything just flows naturally. So cool. May they meet again...
I was at work and heard Change on the radio then the DJ in Cleveland said about Tom's passing. In the last 22 months I have lost two of my favorite musicians Tom and David Bowie. I was dumbfounded when Gary passed. I have a dry dark sense of humor and since the mid 80s Gary has been one of my favorite comedians. I was 14 when i first heard Tom play his music and have been following him ever since. Every stage of my life there has been a Tom Petty song somewhere in the mix. I have covered some of his songs on my guitar and drums. Even my son when he was around 2 i heard him singing some of Toms songs. He is united with George and Roy and can sing high up there.
RIP to both....I saw Gary in Hermosa Beach in like 2012 and he was really great. Awesome to see he and Tom Petty were close friends. Hope they are in a place where there talents shine brightly and there souls are at ease. Take it easy
How sad, they’re both gone. I’ve been a fan of Tom Petty’s since the beginning of his career and he was such a shining light, it’s hard to believe he’s gone. Such a coincidence they both left at 66.
Haunting video. It feels like they just cracked the surface in their conversation. I can’t tell if it’s the conversation that’s unfinished or that I won’t be able to see them together anymore. They needed this moment to express to each other…I’m grateful and sad at the same time.
This is so great. Two guys I would never have guessed in a million years were friends. But it makes sense that 2 guys who were so creative in their own different ways, found that they could just be themselves around each other, and appreciate each other for their similarities and differences. Thanks for sharing this.
cant believe they both have passed away... we are blessed to have this video... old friends book ends...geniuses and also guys you would love to talk to
Man he was my fav since l was 8. I remember when cds came out but l could still only afford cassettes. Im 42 So full moon fever.....even tho its sort of his solo project but with the heartbreakers on tracks still. Thats the album i 1st discovered and fwll in love with and then l discovered evrything before fmf. RIP Tom. What a True Legend.........and he did it his way. Most cant say that.
Thank you for posting this... It's really amazing - it's pure genius, and yet they were just being themselves, truly themselves, warts and all... But despite their battering, their golden personalities still show through. Two real people, just being honest.
"Two Farmers on Acid", god damn I love that guy. I derived more entertainment from the work of those two individuals than all the supposed entertainers alive right now. I miss them terribly, along with the time frame they helped shape. RIP gentlemen.
Two of my favorite people ...But a bittersweet interview with Garry's passing & now TP's passing...but what a quintessential TP line.. "But, then again, you're Tom Petty right?" (pause) "24 hours a day!".. lol. And he was right...hey baby--there ain't no easy way out... RIP Garry & Charlie T. There are a lot of us who do, and will always, miss you both.
Thank you for uploading this video. Do you know what year this was recorded? I see that it was released in 2007 at the end. I shared this on The Petty Archives facebook page. Thank you again for this interesting and candid video!
LUCKY said he was LUCKY !!! loved tom petty's music you liked one song you pretty much liked them all i wont back down running down a dream list goes on GARRY i used to watch the larry sanders show all the time garry and rip torn the shame about it all is pretty much all the good ones are gone people like TOM and GARRY are missed in this day and time!!
This is fantastic stuff. It’s too funny already. Wow Tom Petty seems so normal to me. Like the kind of people I know here in Georgia. I wonder how many people get the Jewish joke where Tom asks Gary “why don’t you come over more and then Tom proceeds to answer the question for Gary before Gary can answer the question, which is an old Jewish joke that “Jewish women talk and nag so much they usually will ask you a question and then answer it for you” fast talkers they are, that why Gary asks Tom if he had turned Jewish. Anyway sweet , kind of sad but I want to see him in a different light. Than you for posting. God bless Tom Petty 😇. Jewish women are great, great mothers.Great interview, no frills, sorry to Gary Shandling for your great loss. Peace.🦆
Thank you Kunchcar Whaleboy. This is such a”precious “ piece of video footage, it’s sincere, sweet, honest and truly funny and we all know humor is the best medicine. A lot of medicine in this video. Like I said, glad Gary Shandling had this moment with Tom . You know I told my brother about this very touching conversation and he laughed and he said “wow that’s interesting, he said he loved the Gary Shandling show when it was on . He said it was the only show he would stay up late and watch” thanks again for sharing.🌻🙃😔⭐️⭐️❤️🦆
That was really great. I listened to a radio show yesterday paying homage to Tom Petty. There were sound bites from several interviews, and a few of them were from this one. I am glad I was able to watch the whole thing. I did not know they were friends until I listened to that tribute yesterday. I did okay while watching this until that final message flashed on the screen. Then the tears came. I hope that Tom and Garry are reunited in heaven and hanging out.
Love that they mentioned the Talk Soup line. It's one of my fave scenes of that brilliant show. This was fun to watch. Two creative masters just catchin up on life. We're losing all the greats :( Thanks for posting.
Here's Tom Petty's comment the day after Garry died: "I’ve known Garry for a long time. We go back to the mid-80’s. I just want people to remember what great work he gave us.

Just wanted to honour your quote.
The great friendship between the two was great, I just watched Gary with Jerry Seinfeld and those two were really funny together.
But I DO MISS BOTH OF THESE GREAT TALENTS MORE THAN ANYONE COULD KNOW.
I felt SO BAD when both of them left us. All we can do is listen to you heir Music and all the great music legacy left to us, and watch all the great comedy by a genius unique comedian. Fortunately there is a sizable amount from both of these greatly missed talents!

If it's real, Gary Schandling must have told him he was dying or something. This video should be removed but of course won't be because of the lack of boundaries on the part of fans who have now been termed as engaging in what is now officially parasocial relationships with people they will never meet often and now permanently dead.

It's a beautiful world when we are able to watch things like this.
Very positive thing to say.💯
These guys were better friends than we know about. And still laughing together. R.I.P. you two.
i wish i could have burnt one with Tom
Two true legends in my opinion...
No, they no longer exist other than in our memories. Till we stop breathing.
@@dukeallen432 you do YOU, Boo!
Best Joke I ever heard out of a stand up comic " I got the Tom petty looks without the talent " :) Joel in Florida
“Life is short, but not short enough.” Classic. Fortunately, these two will live forever.
I know this will sound hopelessly and stupidly corny but - .......... how utterly sweet.
It is sweet. xo
Ray Kaelin Not at all. Utterly sweet and charming.
Ray Kaelin no. It's perfect. Thankyou.
Ray Kaelin - I was just thinking exactly that, while watching this! This is a gem!
Not at all it is sweet that they got to say how they felt about each other. Some people never say it then regret not doing so when one passes.
They were both 66 when they passed. We miss you, gents. Great laughs and great music. Respect and Rest In Peace and condolences to those close to you.
yeah I noticed that after Tom died
Jesus... so young. I cherish this video.
They don’t make em like these two anymore ❤️
66 & 6 mos. Think about it
It got me when Garry said, “life is short”
@@buckchile614 What's there to think about?
The older you get, the other side gets a little less scary. If those two guys are over there, I'm not freaked about going there either.
I love that concept
@D Larson keep telling yourself that
It is strange to be 63 and notice we think about these things and start to prepare for this. We are apart but still one with each other. Guess we will always be together one way or another.
@CFFAT Depend or depends..
Losing fear of death is the first rung on the ladder of enlightenment.
My first stop was here after learning about Tom's passing today. Two of my absolute favorite spirits. The world is a lesser place without you both.
Tom seems like someone you could listen to all day about music, or life in general, and not get tired of hearing him.
you can play Tom Petty music at a party and absolutely no one would complain.
Absolutely or if they did they would then be put in a corner and not talked to at said party……two incredibly talented humans of prose and artistry RIP gentlemen the world was better place with you in it!
If you could rid of his supporting laugh track crew.
Tom is literally ALL I listen to…REAL rock n roll…everything else in comparison is SHIT@@duhbigcat1848
"And look at you now. You're making a DVD."
The dry delivery really makes it.
I laughed out loud at that one... 😂
"You're Tom Petty..."
"...24 hours a day"
Just watched Tom Petty Documentary then watched some Larry Sanders which brought me to this. I remembered this and now watching it again how profound it is. Life is short everyone. Both were 66. Definitely too short for these two incredible talents. I laugh and it’s sad at the same time…
Exactly. I'm glad some can appreciate that. If it's to be, I'll be 70 in a couple months. 66 definately is too young, especially for talent like that. Kindred spirits I would say.
I will never tire of rewatching this. Tom had such a great sense of humour.
Agreed. 💯
I REALLY AGREE
He was a regular guy, and a genius

Funnies line in the whole thing. I'm in Tom Petty mourning mode and this is so perfect.
Rick Eaton 😂😂😂
Indeed!
....that was outstanding , almost profound ...loved both of those guys ...." life is short , but not short enough "
"Did you become Jewish since the last time..." I love Tom's reaction to that joke.
Brilliant
My God, that's gotta be the funniest line ever. The first time I heard it I had to pause the clip and my stomach hurt from the laughing.
RIP Tom. They're neighbors again now :-(
Well then, in their mutual nothingness they are together. How's that?"
@@jackiegreig5103 not good
I know it's a little weird
Rest in peace Tom and Gary. Tragic news about Tom's passing.....
Genius way to break any jitters, or the "hey how's it goin'" tension. Just drops the "take your clothes off" out of thin air.
Even the way Tom smoked was cool….Rest in peace to Garry and Tom🙏🏻❤
I really Miss Garry Shandling. What a great guy.
I've seen this a bunch of times and I just think it is so sweet when two friends are talking to each other. You could tell they were good friends.
"I don't meditate that much anymore. Because you're not supposed to do it when you're stoned"...... Lol
Two of my favorite performers on the planet hanging out. Lost both of these guys too soon. What great stuff.
Two people I miss very much. They both gave so much for our entertainment. Two of the all time greats.
“Did you become Jewish since I last saw you?”
I was never really aware of their friendship. Such a beautiful thing

Good luck buddy. I wish you the best.
Read "the easy way to stop smoking" by Allen Carr. I haven't smoked in 3 months and I dont miss it at all.
Fentenyl killed Petty, not smoking. But good luck with that, quit 18 years ago myself.
Tom died due to drug use
That is life in form. You collect all this precious stuff, vintage analog equipment. Great guitars and amps, and mixing boards. Then you pass on without it.
This is not a sad thing, but to realize every most sacred, private, special thing of mine, will just be left, when I pass on.

"Did you turn Jewish since I saw you last?" HAHAHAHA.

If you listen to the context and the way it was said, it wasn't a reference to one's death anyway. "Said as an observer, from the outside."
Said this was filmed in 2007. Gary died in 2016. He lived nine more years after this. Not twenty as someone said.
This was filmed in 2006 (released in 2007) and Shandling died in 2016. He had another 10 years to go and Petty had 11 1/2 years to go. I hope they loved their last decade.
The date of posting the video on a TH-cam channel is often quite different than the date of recording.
@@globalmonkey007 Thank you for that. I was curious as to how soon they each passed after this was recorded. Garry looks so hale and hearty here, while Tom looks washed out. Tom still smoked, which probably contributed to his funereal pallor.
I couldn't tell what Garry was drinking. Perhaps club soda? If it was a sugared drink, then it wasn't good for him.
I have never seen this before, or even knew about Garry's interviewing show. Or whatever this is. But... WOW. This is amazing. I was a kid when I accidentally discovered the Garry Shandling show and the quirky humor. I was bummed when it ended, and didn't like the Sanders show as much but I didn't know anyone else who was into his humor as much as I was. I was also raised on LOTS of Tom Petty from my dad. So seeing this... Wow. what an awesome and hilarious pairing.
The idea that Tom Petty second-guessed parts of his performances is both bewildering and comforting. I'll try to remember that the next time I'm beating myself up with woulda-coulda-shouldas.
It's commonplace I believe. I beat myself up during or after a show. The crowd never notices. "Once is a mistake, twice is jazz."
I have watched several interviews of Tom Petty, some real good ones. But this chat with his pal Gary Shandling is the best thing I have found of Tom speaking. It's so real and interesting. Just Tom being Tom, at home with a friend. I've watched it about 7 times now. Soon to be 8.
Garry passed last year at age 66.
Tom died at age 66 this year.
They are both gone without any warning. A blood clot to the lung and heart attack respectively.
There will never be a Tom Petty again. Someone like Tom Petty only comes once.
I've probably had 5 different copies of Damn the Torpedoes in my life. People kept stealing it from me. Mostly exwives and girlfriends. Pink Floyd the Wall and The Eagles greatest hits/Hotel California were the ones that disappeared most. My daughter has been singing "Free Fallin'" since she was 2 years old. I always put the cassette in for her to sing in the back seat. She's in College now and it's still her favorite song.
Baby aspirin every day...try the enteric coated stuff... and try to get an angiogram if you're over 60.
Yeah. I turned 66 the day after TP checked out. WTF.
Cardiac arrest isn't a heart attack.
Heart attack leads to cardiac arrest.
globalmonkey He didn't have a heart attack.
It scares me as a smoker myself to see how Tom chains those cancer rifles down.
I'm so scared and heartbroken to hear how Tom died of a massive heart attack. I gotta quit somehow. I wish Tom did. Maybe we'd all have him with us today.😢
Try Chantix, I quit in 1 month after 40 years been smoke free for 9 years, & I hate to say it but I bet Tom died from smoking he seemed like a heavy smoker.
The cigarettes contributed but coronary is so damn genetic. It was a time bomb.
RubHerSoul1 I'm gonna poke around and see what I can find, but cardiac arrest is that your heart stops. An infarction is a heart attack.
RubHerSoul1 Try the Chantix, however I'd like to suggest cinnamon sticks to use in physical exchange of holding the cigarette. Wish you the best!
Both my parents died probably from genetic heart problems but way to soon due to the smoking as grandparents lived much longer.
Two great guys!I love his video! Miss them😢
I'd like to think that Tom and Gary are doing this exact thing right now...
Just a fantastastic interview! R.I.P Gary and Tom.
This is my favourite video on the internet
The chat between them was priceless.
This video is good for my soul. When I'm feeling down I come here, both amazing men gone too soon. I remember watching The Gary Shandling Show on the tube TV in my moms bedroom cause it was the only room with AC when I was a kid. And Tom, well, been a fan since the first time I heard Free Fallin. Both gone way too soon.
Tom Petty was just laid back and funny, great musican. He did some great tunes. RIP Tom Petty..
I don't think I can describe exactly how I feel having watched it. I'm now 61& a half. I was a fan of both these guys. they both died way too young, and now I find this video I didn't know existed where they share real feelings (despite 3 cameras). I felt exactly the same about both their deaths .now? so soon? it makes me even happier though, that I finally visited my uncle yesterday ,who I have only seen recently at the funerals of 2 of his sons(my first cousins) in the recent past ,about 2 yrs time .he's lost 4 sons in all. (a family of 14 kids in 2 marriages)he turns 89 in Dec. and he looks great! (not a smoker) .my Dad, his brother, a retired firefighter ,died suddenly at 65 . I've been at the point where I fear I could go before him, and not see him ONCE socially .we really don't know what that next day on the calendar will bring .I was very entertained by this, but it will now be a constant reminder of just how short life can be. always seeing Petty playing & singing, I really didn't know how much he smoked.
Tom died of drug toxicity which caused organ failure.
@@Randylayhe001 a self medicating star .not new.
"Did you turn jewish....?" Omg, I'm loving this. Kinda teared up towards the end.
You used to come over… 😂
Just fascinating. Simply.
Garry Shandling Was one year older than Tom. Gary passed way in 2016 at 66 years old. Tom passed away in 2017 at 66 years old Three weeks shy of his 67th birthday. RIP.
Two beautiful humans. Thanks to both for making life richer. RIP
Wow. Two amazing artists. Both dead at the age of 66. And after a year of losing Bowie and Leonard Cohen, this loss just made me feel kicked in the gut.
RIP , , soo good to see this. a very special 20 minutes,,,thanks.
Thanks for this. It Brought a tear to my eye. I miss those days.
Just One of my many favourite clips with Garry and Tom. Miss them both R.I.P 😇
The beauty of true friends... Hopefully, everyone gets to experience gets this kind of friendship. Where doesn't matter if you haven't seen each other in years, the conversation and feeling hasn't skipped a beat. As if there was no time apart. Everything just flows naturally. So cool. May they meet again...
Two of my favorite people. Both gone.
Tom is the human definition of cool
Saw this some months back, loved the the pair of them riffing on life, brilliant people, hilarious and so talented. Thanks Tom for the great tunes RIP
This is one of the most hilarious interviews I've ever seen. They were both geniuses in their own right...
2 great guys may they rest in peace!!!
Great to see this..two one-of-a-kind legends just hanging out together chillin'..#RIPTom #RIPGarry. Both gone way too soon..😢
That Neve board is very likely an 80 Series probably 8068 model, Transistor early 1970's made in England - sound fully amazing
What an amazing conversation. Thank you
Two untimely deaths here! Brutally sad both of these talented men are gone.
I was at work and heard Change on the radio then the DJ in Cleveland said about Tom's passing. In the last 22 months I have lost two of my favorite musicians Tom and David Bowie. I was dumbfounded when Gary passed. I have a dry dark sense of humor and since the mid 80s Gary has been one of my favorite comedians.
I was 14 when i first heard Tom play his music and have been following him ever since. Every stage of my life there has been a Tom Petty song somewhere in the mix. I have covered some of his songs on my guitar and drums. Even my son when he was around 2 i heard him singing some of Toms songs.
He is united with George and Roy and can sing high up there.
RIP to both....I saw Gary in Hermosa Beach in like 2012 and he was really great. Awesome to see he and Tom Petty were close friends. Hope they are in a place where there talents shine brightly and there souls are at ease. Take it easy
How sad, they’re both gone. I’ve been a fan of Tom Petty’s since the beginning of his career and he was such a shining light, it’s hard to believe he’s gone. Such a coincidence they both left at 66.
Haunting video. It feels like they just cracked the surface in their conversation. I can’t tell if it’s the conversation that’s unfinished or that I won’t be able to see them together anymore. They needed this moment to express to each other…I’m grateful and sad at the same time.
So sad to see Tom still smoking at such a late stage in his life. Miss both these guys. Both died at age 66 a little over a year apart 😢
It's hard to believe both of these guys are gone, it really sucks.
Gary was the man. rest easy
HallWayGang Tom was too 😢🙏
Now they are hanging together
again
Now they both are ..
Awesome. What year was this?
Tell people you love them while you can
This is so great. Two guys I would never have guessed in a million years were friends. But it makes sense that 2 guys who were so creative in their own different ways, found that they could just be themselves around each other, and appreciate each other for their similarities and differences. Thanks for sharing this.
Tom: "You never come over anymore. I guess you're busy."
Gerry: "Did you turn Jewish since I saw you last?"
cant believe they both have passed away... we are blessed to have this video... old friends book ends...geniuses and also guys you would love to talk to
If you look at What Tom is doing in this video, that's why he's dead.
Tornado1994 good point ... stay away from smoking it is a losing habit anyway u look at it
Yup. Tom was a wonderful human being. But he chain smoked, and I guess people forgot that Smoking is very unhealthy,addictive and dangerous. R.I.P.
this broke my heart and gave me great joy
what a great piece. RIP Petty
Man he was my fav since l was 8. I remember when cds came out but l could still only afford cassettes. Im 42 So full moon fever.....even tho its sort of his solo project but with the heartbreakers on tracks still. Thats the album i 1st discovered and fwll in love with and then l discovered evrything before fmf. RIP Tom. What a True Legend.........and he did it his way. Most cant say that.
Thank you for posting this... It's really amazing - it's pure genius, and yet they were just being themselves, truly themselves, warts and all... But despite their battering, their golden personalities still show through. Two real people, just being honest.
"Life is short. But not short enough," GS. I don't know why, but it makes perfect sense.
"Two Farmers on Acid", god damn I love that guy. I derived more entertainment from the work of those two individuals than all the supposed entertainers alive right now. I miss them terribly, along with the time frame they helped shape. RIP gentlemen.
Fantastic closing remark from Tom.
I COULD LISTEN TO TOM EVERY DAY, HE'S SO LOVEABLE.
I saw that episode • Quiet Down Cow Poke • Never get tired of watching this •
Two of my favorite people ...But a bittersweet interview with Garry's passing & now TP's passing...but what a quintessential TP line..
"But, then again, you're Tom Petty right?"
(pause)
"24 hours a day!".. lol.
And he was right...hey baby--there ain't no easy way out... RIP Garry & Charlie T. There are a lot of us who do, and will always, miss you both.
NevadaBoss I was going to say the same, it is bittersweet. The topics of conversation they were having. A lot of love on both sides.
wow that was really nice. Thanks for posting it.
Thank you for uploading this video. Do you know what year this was recorded? I see that it was released in 2007 at the end. I shared this on The Petty Archives facebook page. Thank you again for this interesting and candid video!
It was done in 2005 or 2006, can't remember which.
2006!
Damn.... both are gone. Glad we have this.
LUCKY said he was LUCKY !!! loved tom petty's music you liked one song you pretty much liked them all i wont back down running down a dream list goes on GARRY i used to watch the larry sanders show all the time garry and rip torn the shame about it all is pretty much all the good ones are gone people like TOM and GARRY are missed in this day and time!!
What a beautiful little moment in space and time. 🪷
This is fantastic stuff. It’s too funny already. Wow Tom Petty seems so normal to me. Like the kind of people I know here in Georgia. I wonder how many people get the Jewish joke where Tom asks Gary “why don’t you come over more and then Tom proceeds to answer the question for Gary before Gary can answer the question, which is an old Jewish joke that “Jewish women talk and nag so much they usually will ask you a question and then answer it for you” fast talkers they are, that why Gary asks Tom if he had turned Jewish. Anyway sweet , kind of sad but I want to see him in a different light. Than you for posting. God bless Tom Petty 😇. Jewish women are great, great mothers.Great interview, no frills, sorry to Gary Shandling for your great loss. Peace.🦆
Thank you Kunchcar Whaleboy. This is such a”precious “ piece of video footage, it’s sincere, sweet, honest and truly funny and we all know humor is the best medicine. A lot of medicine in this video. Like I said, glad Gary Shandling had this moment with Tom . You know I told my brother about this very touching conversation and he laughed and he said “wow that’s interesting, he said he loved the Gary Shandling show when it was on . He said it was the only show he would stay up late and watch” thanks again for sharing.🌻🙃😔⭐️⭐️❤️🦆
I imagine them doing this now in heaven. Miss you.
That was really great. I listened to a radio show yesterday paying homage to Tom Petty. There were sound bites from several interviews, and a few of them were from this one. I am glad I was able to watch the whole thing. I did not know they were friends until I listened to that tribute yesterday. I did okay while watching this until that final message flashed on the screen. Then the tears came. I hope that Tom and Garry are reunited in heaven and hanging out.
What a pairing! Two legends. Garry is always sad and funny. I'm happy for Tom, because he looked like he loved to laugh.
Love that they mentioned the Talk Soup line. It's one of my fave scenes of that brilliant show. This was fun to watch. Two creative masters just catchin up on life. We're losing all the greats :( Thanks for posting.
