I saw Tom Petty perform this song in Phoenix Arizona in April of 1995! The best concert! Joints being passed around from every direction! I love John Mayers version as much as the original.
I grew up in the valley and frequented Ventura Blvd ❤. This song speaks to my soul ,as a California girl?! Thank you Ed and James ❤❤!! I introduced this song to my children,as they were growing up. Much love to Tom Petty!! Ed and James did justice
I would recognize Eds voice anytime anwhere 🥰 It just has a special sonething. Also, i always want to make a cup of tea and travel to the UK anytime i hear him 😂🙂
They are two of my favorite artists and honestly, this performance is a far cry from John’s performance in LA (Nokia Centre). I am also not sure I like how their voices match, there’s smth wrong there.
People’s are saying they are bad together but it’s honestly the best version of free falling I’ve ever heard. Ofc the non musician’s fail to realize that they were harmonizing so yeah they were singing different notes. Because that’s how that works. Perfect duo! People need to stop ruining others days
"... the best version of free-falling ..." Uh, there is this guy called Tom Petty, go hear that one, then come back here to make amends! 🤷♂️ #sacraligious
@@NoNo-ks4gg chill dude, it’s called an opinion. I love Tom’s version. Who doesn’t? But in MY OPINION, I prefer this version. Have so problem with that? Look up the definition of an opinion and come back to make amends.
As I tried looking up that definition, I came across this quote . . . "It is far better to have people think you are a FOOL --- than to sit down, start typing and remove all doubt." Practice what you profess and --- stop ruining people's day with asinine observations that have even Tom Petty rolling over in his ⚰️! #🤡 #juststupid
Yo sis, give credit where credit is due --- there was another co-writer of this beauty who was pretty prominent himself! #each1teach1 #dontsleep #respect
@@ryanouyang_I'm jealous l didn't get to see this show. They are two of my favorite singers. l saw Ed like 2 months ago and John last year and I'm going to get tickets to see him next month. It'd be a concert dream if Ed opens for John in Dallas!
l have seen them both live more than once, and both are some of the best lives shows I've seen. I'm an avid concert goer. l saw Ed on his first U.S., a few months ago and once in between. l gave seen John 4 times, most recently last year and they are both two of my favorite singers. l think they both shined!
tbh John's voice color is not so easy to sing together with - only certain colors seem to work well (DRH, Tiffany Palmer, etc). And if your voice is more forward sounding like Sheeran or Keys, they in comparison sound "bad" to Mayer because Mayer is more like this mid tone range. My point is, both are fantastic - together, it's little more tricky but im sure if they spent enough time, they'll be able to find that sweet spot.
@jilldoves5793, The ones that think Eddie and Johnny sounded great, don't know who Tom Petty is, let alone his songs. They were awful, not to mention, a great insult to Tom, and an embarrassment to themselves.
Don't get me wrong Ed is amazing and clearly has a stronger voice than John but damn those were poor judgement on those harmonies. Very distracting and killing the vibe. You're suppose to complement not derail and take over the song. Dammit Ed
If you haven't already, you gotta check out John Mayer Free Fallin (Live at The Nokia Theatre) on TH-cam. Acoustic, Mayer with two more guitarists. The Best. 0:01
this might be the worst thing I've seen on You Tube. Didn't see the whole show and sure it was a treat for the fans, but just playing and acoustic v version of this classic with a few inflections is piss poor...no effort to differentiate their version from others, playing totally to the crowd and not even working out a legit proper version is such a let down
These guys ought to do an entire tour together.
It’s gonna be Grateful Dead 2024
Literally two of my favourite musicians of all time
I love these two collaborating together and the mutual respect they have for each other. They egg each other on so well. ❤
🎉

I totally agree John Mayer did this song by himself it was amazing 😁👍.

John…not James 😊
Ed’s falsetto is ON👏🏽POINT👏🏽
Well suited 😊
3:00 thanks audience member 👏
Voll geil 🙃🙃🙃🧡💛🧡

It’s like butter! 🥰
@@amyfarmer1423 absolutely. Agree 😂🙂🥰
lol he’s god awful on guitar
Anyone get his acapella tune at the end?

To be fair they are solo artists, not used to matching pitch and harmonizing voices.
Love you Ed

people say this?
@@Antondepadua yeah. People in the comments have been saying that.
Is it just me, or is the stark contrast between the style, ease and class of Mayer compared to Sheeran overwhelming?
Musical geniuses!! ❤️❤️❤️
Nope. They are not Bach, Mozart, Lennon/McCartney, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Django... not even close. Learn more about music.
@@gooddaysahead1 Take your judgement elsewhere, DICK!! 😁
RIP Tom Petty.
4:10 sheesh. Great job by both.
Lovely rendition of a magical remembrance. Tom was such a tragically great writer. I love the references to SFV. 😊
Yo sis, give credit where credit is due --- there was another co-writer of this beauty who was pretty prominent himself!

Always good to see all the experts in the comment section as always, experts at having opinions :D keep it up
Plenty of non experts can sing and play better than that. There was SOME feeling there, but it was barely conveyed.
@@scubasteev Exactly! Opinion noted.
Did john play a set? What songs?
Ed was opening for John, Ed played an 8 song set and John played 15 songs IIRC

💕🦄🌈🍓🦋😇🧿🤯
RIP Tom
John is on a handful of guitarists left, ed does not hold a candle to him, but he can get there, lets go more blues tones
Yep ed Shereen has pretty basic guitar skills that he has pushed to the max.
@@Jalleur14325 But is he really known for being a guitar extraordinaire? I think more of his great song writing and singing.
They should form a band together and call in jedward..
Or call it "Ed, go find your own band"
Get a room you two
Is Ed a surprise guest in this?
Ed struggled a bit in the harmonies, but still a great collab. Love those two.
I feel Ed struggled vocally by comparison. Both great, but John shined!

The key is better suited to John
I wonder if the younger generation even knew that song 🎵. Lol

See u see me hello is it me ya looking for got the Canadian milk tray bien
Tom petty was the goat !
Mayer makes feel Sheeran noob at the guitar hahah
First time i dont like the harmony between Eds and Johns Voices.
Finally found a song that Ed sheeran can not kinda sing . Rip Tom petty xx
John sounded good but Eds harmonies really took away from it.
Don't get me wrong Ed is amazing and clearly has a stronger voice than John but damn those were poor judgement on those harmonies. Very distracting and killing the vibe. You're suppose to complement not derail and take over the song. Dammit Ed

Oh dear. A tough song for them to try and pull off. Tom Petty is beyond them.
I mean, I am a big fan of them both….this wasn’t very good
This is terrible. Loved John with dead and Co...but this sounds like an open mic night.
@scubasteev, That's a really great way to put it! 👍
You also have to remember that this is recorded with a phone. The Audio and video quality is going to decrease a lot.
Keith Urban, made a better version than this, at the same venue , way back...
The best version is just one.. John in LA, 2007
Ed Sheeran is so much better than John. ❤❤❤
this might be the worst thing I've seen on You Tube. Didn't see the whole show and sure it was a treat for the fans, but just playing and acoustic v version of this classic with a few inflections is piss poor...no effort to differentiate their version from others, playing totally to the crowd and not even working out a legit proper version is such a let down
Ed is so much better at singing lol
Tom Petty just took another hit of Heroin 6 feet under trying to digest this butchered version.
Ed’s butchering the song.. yikes.
u talk to much....
and this version was not that great. sorry.
A rather weak cover Jeff and Tom far superior
Sorry. Neither one of them sounds very good. It’s a disservice to Tom Petty’s beautiful song and singing style.
John Mayer rules
well it aint tom, so take it as it is and enjoy the tribute. you cranky clown
The original is special, yes. However, John version with Robbie Mcintosh is a pretty effin epic cover.
Check out John's Nokia Version of the song.... puts Tom Petty to shame.
@@MagicalWorldofM100% agree
They are winging this. Sounds awful.
gay version
Ed Sheeran so overrated!
I don't think Ed harmonizes that often haha. Little flat on a lot of those. maybe just couldn't hear himself well
