- I should've released this last Wednesday but as many of you's will know, today (20th October) is Tom Petty's Birthday. So these two vids on one day are my little monument to him and The Heartbreakers
tom was, unlike his gregarious contemporary Springsteen, wary of his audience. This performance is transcendent; he is having the conversation of a life time with the people who love him. RIP We will never see the likes of him again and I am so grateful for his music and the posts from people whose lives he affected deeply.
Well Said.
Word❤
I applaud TP’s Transcendental Moment for All Time RIP 🤍🤍🤍🐇🌹💜
100 %
To put them 2 in same sentence, you should be deballed. No comparison what so ever.
Wouldn’t it be great if just for one moment, one moment in time EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT?!?!?! Gets me every time! Thank you Tom!
I feel that all the way within my soul!
YES! ❤
@@jennbamboothat was one of my favorite parts! ❤❤❤❤
Well said by you and The Amazing Tom Petty 🤍🤍🤍🐇🙏🏻
Now it’s August of 2023. And you know what is going on. Damn traitor..TP wouldn’t be pleased at behaviors of some folks who claim they ❤ TP and then turn around and act like shits…forgetting what he stood for.
Wouldn't it tho!!!! ❤
I never tire of watching this epic performance by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Makes me cry every time. 💘
know what you mean --- so much more powerful than original; Tom Petty was so hesitant to engage with his audience due to near death experience in 1978 but here the power is his conducting the audience to be part of the experience … nothing like it except perhaps Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes when the Berlin Wall came down. Epic is exactly right word!
Jennifer Medeiros I hear you
Neither do I!
Damn I love this MAN!
This whole concert is relentlessly amazing.
If you are not moved to tears by this song - something is off. Thank You Tom Petty for decades of amazing music. This version of a VERY OLD song is amazing....You have left your mark!
Yeah
Tears? Really? Never. Love his music though...and glad you do too. Good for you on the tears front!. Maybe I am too callous;)
@@danlovallo2923 Tom's emotion is so real in this live show....
Tom paying tribute to Van Morrison and Them! The original still a classic.
Tom always included his audience. In the middle of his song he'd pause and WHOA, WHOA, WAOOO. The fans would WHOA back. It endeared him to us even more. RIP our dear Tom Petty.
Someone said that Tom and his audience reminded him of Rory Gallagher, and I had to agree. Watching any of their videos exudes mutual love and respect. Real people playing great music. And we are better for them.
My friend said to me the other day ,my friend told me he liked tom petty when he was "In his prime", that i think is just an understatement , For Tom Petty ! is and always will be in his "Prime", Just look at him he is a complete showman , all that energy at his age, Words are not enough to express the greatness of this band. TP&HB not just a band...there part of History
zombiedude25 you were Soooo right!
I agree with your friend. TP had no range in voice and stiff as a board on stage in the last decade
Tom was in his prime...start to finish!!
I find myself studying what each instrument is doing in this song. What an amazing band Tom put together and led all those years!
Did you read Paul Zollo's Conversations with Tom Petty? he's a musicologist and what a brilliant read. I think the best way of describing the Heartbreakers is; they needed Tom Petty for his emotional empathy and leadership but also because he knew what supreme musicians he had in Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench; the list goes on and he let them get on with things, opposite of a control freak, no words to say what a great band it was despite ups and downs and deep sadness Tom felt when things were going awry and he felt excluded from his adopted family and got cynical for a while during the Jeff Lynne years; ok changes, some tragic but continuity which is nowhere else present in the rock world.
I first heard “Mystic Eyes” by Them with Van Morrison singing and playing harmonica. I thought the song was great. They were the only Irish band to get in on the British Invasion that started with the Beatles. It was only two or three years ago that I heard and saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ rendition and they turned it into a full-blown jam. Their audience was in musical heaven. I am glad that it’s been preserved for all time.
This one hurts right in the gut. RIP Tom.Blessings to Tom's family and the Heartbreakers.
7 months later and he is not forgotten. Ditto your Blessings to his loved ones. One of the best live performances I have ever heard. Bodiddley (sorry sp) then blew Van Morrison out of the water. When I am pissed off I listen to this and feel: this was a good man and it is important to live up to his inspired music.
If you feel like that, then I am pissed off that Dana is getting too much rubbish from a creepy interviewer; google American Treasure; Dana Petty and Benmont Tench. Am I being stupid? She has been through enough!
Ditto. Well said. I'm so heartbroken...
@@evelynbaron2004❤❤so it goes
Great how this band pays homage to some of the pioneers that turned them on to rock music.
Five years gone and never stops to awe, inspire, move and amaze me! You fill the gaps in my life Tom.
Everything is Alright when Tom's Beautiful Groove is flowing into your ear holes 🎸🎵😎
I love how Mike Campbell gave this song that "Them" touch to this song with his guitar
The guitar for THEM was quite good.
Uraa hemp stealing
well he was/is a musical genius.
I love hearing from people who listen intently and have a musical dictionary in their imagination -- when Tom Petty became literally the last dj on Sirius XM he didn't play his own stuff; 1000s of lps he had been listening to throughout his life time; unbelievable gift. I know the focus has been on him but nothing not even Eric Clapton, George Harrison can produce the sounds mike Campbell can -- thinking of another song for Mudcrutch I think where he plays the mandolin; unearthly beauty. And yes, keyboard genius Benmont Tench; I know he made light of things but these guys were Tom's family which is why when things went wrong he was stricken to the core, no joke.
There will never be another Tom Petty, He was a Musical God , Thanks 4 All the Fantastic 🎸 Vibes U left 4 us 🎵👌😎
Still missing you, Tom. Thanks for the music.
For the true Petty Fans: *THIS IS THE BALM!*
I was at this concert, GAinesville, FL. Petty's 30th Annniv, and my 50th Bday. Great show!!
SHARGRAVE me too.... memories made of gold 💛
You are probably roughly the same age; he was born oct 20 1950, my guy dec 14, 1950. Both of these guys are gone, it's not wrong to miss amazing people.
That's the BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT!!!
Best concert Ive ever seen!!!! This song blows me away every time I hear it.
Such a beautiful song....he had a gift of words...and making us feel connected in a deep soul ful way!
Van Morrison wrote the song; he's just a musical genius and turned it into something truly mystical
Mary you could not have said it better. I have to admit that when he first came out, I was deep into Styx, Ted Nugent, The who Alice. Tom snuck up on
me, and since I went to Irvine Meadows in the OC, and witnessed" Don't come around here no more" at 20 years old, my world has been a while better place to stay..
@@evelynbaron2004right on
What a tremendous loss on an already horrible day. Thank you Tom, you will be missed, George will be glad to see you though.
Seen TPHB live in concert June 15, 2010. They did this song in their encore. Just unreal how it got everyone hyped up.
Few performances make me really want to crank it up. This is one of them.
Such a tight band..the timing..perfection.
I got to meet him He was just out having coffee It was so cool Took me over to a record shop and gt the 1st LP and signed it for me :-) a way cool guy
Free Fall WoW! What a special & amazing memory to have. ♡
According to every account I have EVER heard frm ppl who know or who got to meet Petty he was a genuinely good person & jst a super cool dude.
Tom loved truck stop coffee; full stop. Vr glad you had that encounter. My sis is in the music business and knows everybody, Sting whomever; AA meetings with Benmont Tench back in the day. NO-ONE ever had a bad word to say about Tom Petty. Full stop. Yes a private man who hated interviews and self-promotion and like other extremely successful people lived in a kind of prison where the only people you get to meet are other famous people -- glad he had a day of freedom and glad you got to be part of it. Cheers!
evelyn baron I’m so glad you shared and such a cool story...✌️☮️
Free Fall I wish that was me, but way cool...✌️☮️✌️
Wow, lucky you! I'm very envious. 😊
Spectacular performance. First time I've heard this song. Incredible!
Holly Potthoff th-cam.com/video/5e-fU0eyVUg/w-d-xo.html now hear it done right
His lyrics and voice have such a healing effect on the soul. He lifts my spirits again when I am worried.....solace. Beautiful x
RIP Tom...legends live forever
That's right ... :)
My favorite live song/performance of Tom's...R.I.P. and thanks for all the great songs!
tx there is something about a live performance (missed that one) that transcends everything else. He died too soon; but his last tour, although it killed him, was a triumph. He lived more than most people on the planet, and gave himself to his audience. I wish selfishly he had the time to finish Wildflowers but he found his soul mate; had the best band in the world and wrote some of the best music I have ever heard. Tx for this upload! And RIP Tom Petty; you inspired all of us.
That is a great post.Thank you.
What a performance... I mean... Damn! Probably my favorite live performance of any other song... ever!
Rest in paradise Tom... Miss you so very much ❤️
A truly great tribute to my all time favorite musical artist Van Morrison. Petty took a less than 3 minute ditty and made it Epic !!! RIP TP.
I met my husband at this concert and we are both Canadian; Mystic Eyes. Which is Tom Petty and his love for his audience. Tx from so so many people who either remember this concert/song or watch it and say what my step-daughter said, several years later: "why aren't our bands like that?" Happy New Year to all: if for just one moment in time ....
What a storyteller.. and music talent. Gonna miss ya Tom
RIP Tom Petty....jesus christ I can't believe I just had to type that out....
Speaking of Jesus, Tom's playing and singing in the heavenly rock band right now. Hope you get to see hi, again.
I was always a so-so fan of Tom Petty and The Heartbeakers..until I heard this unbelievable take on that great rave-up Mystic Eyes (originally from Van Morrison and Them, 1965).....yeah, this one blew me away, for all time.
I have listened to Tom petty all my life or his career , I'm 55. I grew up in 70s and 80s, but I never really knew how great he was until I watched the 3 hour documentary on his life after he passed away, I am sad about that , I missed out on a real bad ass performer and musician!!
2017, and the world crashed. I cannot seem to get over his passing.
So many still feel the pain like it was yesterday..such a hard thing it is. I don't think it's going away.
i don't like to think about it.
Still one of my top all time favorite live performances by Tom Petty. R.I.P. my love. I miss you sooo much.
You pernicious asshole no respect for his wife Dana just a tenuous link with his monster of a father. You need therapy and/or just be banned for commenting on these sites.
Just watched Mystic Eyes video and my heart is so so broken. I love you Tom Petty forever! Crying like a baby right now.
This performance of 'Mystic Eyes' is a cover of Van Morrisons band "Them". But I am sure that when they heard the Heartbreakers cover of it for the first time, Van said, "Damn...". This entire concert was possibly TP&THBs best. It was in 2015 and was his homecoming to Gainesville and he really performed for his homies. The performances of 'You Wreck Me'. 'Good To Be King', 'Green Onions' to name just a few were some of the best performances of any band I have ever seen. RIP Tom and please Mike, carry on with the legacy.
What a fantastic song, and damn good Performance, never heard this Song before
Miss him so much! So thankful for the gift of music he left behind. Can't believe tomorrow is a month that he left us :-( LOVE this song!
This is an absolute great song by the Irish rock band Them !!!! Tom Petty, RIP. Does his version great 👍👌!!!!!°
Greatest live song ever recorded. So much energy, and tom seemed to enjoy it about as much as me. Lol. Miss you tom and crew. My god I miss this man as much as I miss my dad. Peace from texas
I write about exceptional live performance videos and music videos full stop. This cover blows my mind. Tom Petty would regularly go into a kind of trance when performing (Southern Accents perhaps another example) and didn't truly trust his audience; such an ambivalent relationship because he also felt he owed everything to the people who showed up, but there was that scary moment in 1978 … this is pure gold. words fail.
One of my favorite Petty performances!
I hope you never take this video down, I absolutely LOVE it. So beautiful !! TPHB are amazing. -Legends.
I forgive it all, room at the top are the two most unforgettable songs in history of any music.
This is just so incredibly superb...i can't stop watching it. Heartbroken that Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers died when Tom did. Thank goodness there is so much of them on TH-cam and that I have so many albums plus the "Running Down A Dream" DVD. Gone but never forgotten while I am alive ❤
My sentiments EXACTLY! I'm still grieving, not just Tom Petty, but Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers...such a superb band such a superb band, so sad to think that the magic of them all playing together will never happen again.
Lol at replying in agreement to my own comment. 😁
Love you 😍 so much, Tom Petty, you left us way to soon, but your not gone to me,you’re beautiful, inside and out!! You will always be here to me, don’t matter what people say!!
Great cover. They make this great song last longer! What a band, everyone is just so solid. I think those guys shared some kind of telepathy.
No the original is very long, then edited down to fit on a 7 inch disc. It is actually a jam and not a written song. You should hear it.
Runnin' Down a Dream brought me here. Gosh, what a great cover.
To my Pat, this will always be our song!!!! Love you always!!!! Jenny
💋💋💏💏
@@jennifermills5470 I love you!!!💋💋💋💋💚💜
One of my fave TP & HB songs...like Mona, & Spike also, and all the hits of course...gnna miss him
Just watched the documentary on Netflix and had to come listen to this song again.
...me too!
original's far better
Yep. Got teared up a little even.
How can you not. He meant so much to so many people.
Me too
Van Morrison's classic song, Tom Petty's classic performance.
tom better
@@evelynbaron2004 No, really. Equal maybe, eye to eye.
It's not Van Morrison's...it's Them
It's not Van Morrison.... it's Them, c'mon Kids
Van Morrison sang for Them this and Gloria too
The timing in this band rivals Steely Dan..greatest American R&R band of all time...name another with a catalog of hits that endured so much time.
Steely Dan is outstanding as well 👏
Tom always did what he loved, musically, along with the Heartbreakers, and he/they brought us all into it.
RIP in rock'n roll heaven.
I can't believe he's gone. :'(
For the greatest rock and roll songwriter whoever lived thanks for everything you've given us and for all you've left us rest in peace my brother
Thank you for this little minument. There was no Band like this ever and no Leader like Tom. Miss them.
Thank you Tom for giving me that moment!!! RIP my friend❤😁
WOW amazing isnt enough for this guy x the h.b,, chills me brings tears to my eyes with joy. love them always have,, cant wait t see them in uk
Revisiting this video -- it's often Allyn Kessler who uploads this unbelievable stuff so huge shout out to generous person who made this available -- my sis had music producers back in the day and when she did a cover they said, take that version, put it aside, make it your own or there's no point. I think this is one of those times when the cover is better, to my ear and heart, than the original.
Damn he was good! We sure miss the hell out of you down here! R.I.P. Thomas Earl Petty. ❤❤❤
Jon Stewart said of Springsteen: I am having a long conversation with my audience. So so different artists but this is that kind of incredible conversation. RIP TOM your last album would have been a meteor.
Another great one gone. So sad,and just feels so unfair. Love and condolences to his family
When I watch this performance I can't help comparing it with Peter Gabriel's live performance of In Your Eyes. The songs are vr different but I was mesmerized by how each man communicated with the audience on such a visceral level, it was genius. In real life both introverts, but on stage something ineffable happens. Tom will always be with us.
Excellent song from Tom Petty
I want to look into your mystic eyes.....forever...
I hope you forgot you wrote that you idiot. He finally found his Dana and idiotic comments still appear. Have some respect.
Wykonanie odkrywa nowe pokłady tego wspaniałego utworu, który jak wszystko co skomponował Van Morrison jest super. A on sam jest kompletnie nie doceniany.
Song/performance of the year for me. So long and thanks for all the music.
I love it when they do covers. They are so great!
Yes I hear you Jennifer . I listen to some songs before I go to bed . They'll never be another Tom Petty . He's music was better then others and different so much special and better 🎸🎶🎤🎧🎼🎶
Still missing you Tom and the Heartbreakers down here in Gainesville Florida. RIP sweet prince.
I really miss Tom almost like he was family.Its strange I know but the death of an artist never affected me like this until Tom Pety. I grew up listening to him I was raise in Florida and lived all over that state most of my life. Hope there is a afterlife cause I wanna see Tom and Elvis again. I sure hope he knew what a huge affect he had on so many lives. He was so real and seemed un touched by fame and fortune Gone too soon but if there's a rock and roll heaven man what a band they have.
I can't believe we lost you you definitely became the heartbreaker God bless you hope you're in heaven with the angels very very missed MR WELSH
Wow , real musicians and the best singer
A total genius of epic proportions
Taken to a different space and time. Is this from heaven.
kickin rock.Breath taking.
up there at the top of tom petty songs for me..love them all but this one! yes😊
Tom Petty you’ve brought so many people so much more than one moment RIP Mr Petty
I heard George Harrison say about Tom He's not full of shit like most. So true how cool to be friends with George and Bob Dylan Cash and countless others who knew Tom was the real deal and earned the right to wear those shades at nite. Love you brother You live forever with your amazing catalog of music.
Love this song and this man. Miss him so much 😢
Tom Petty is the soundtrack of my life! RIPTP
We will rock with for eternity.....love ya man...
A+....RIP T.P.
I needed this. What a great performance of this song.
Brilliant 🌟 Star.
So Excellent!!!!
Much better than I would've expected. Kudos.
Brilliant! Thank you much!
Best cover of this song. No one could do it better.
I remember the Them and van Morrison version. I bet there were others also . really love the song
I can’t compare Springsteen with Tom Petty, Tom Petty is more of everything! Super songs, super timing, you are in his time feeling emotion, your on trip with Tom Petty, it surreal but so good it plays in my brain! I woke up at 3 am singing you tell me! Tom wrote so much more than great songs, the rest of the band help make it happen! Tom petty and the Heartbreakers one of the best bands ever, he makes me feel human!
tx any time for this ineffable music
Makes me cry as well. Miss him so much.
This is a great cover of a great song.
I put this GREAT track with a live version by Them in my Van Morrison playlist! Thanks so much for this upload!
