Tom Petty is the only musician/celebrity whose death caused me to cry. I am 61 and grew up in Florida listening to Tom Petty from the beginning. Even now, I tear up thinking about the great talent that we lost. We appreciate it all, Tom!
About as faultless live version of any song as you're ever likely to see. The musicianship, the pacing, the vocal delivery...every twist and turn is a wonder to behold. Thank you Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Always.
Tom Petty's death was the first non family member that I ever cried for, and mourned. His lyrics have always touched me in a way that no other musician, regardless of song writing genius (Lennon/McCartney, Dylan, etc.), ever has or ever will. I saw him in concert over 20 times from 1986 up until the last 2 shows where I saw him in 2017. I've seen him in Indiana, Red Rocks, Connecticut, NY, MA, IL, San Diego, Kansas City, and on and on. God bless him and everything he did for music, and for the people who loved him for it.
I saw him in LA once and Joni Mitchell was seated several rows back. I'd gotten front row seats. That was just before Tom got sober so he was a little sloppy. Still a good show. Much better than any other band I saw ever.
I have watched this video over 50 times and I still get the goosebumps every single time. So much talent, its scary. RIP Tom, you will live on forever in our hearts.
This bit needs to be kept in the time capsule. It would be awesome to know the circumstances of their entire very special day that led to this very very special night.
Goosebumps were all around Curtis Hixon Auditorium 2005...they opened with "Running Down A Dream" i thought the room was going to blow up from the response.
Give Mike Campbell his credit for being Tom’s right hand all those years. Pretty clear Petty was orchestrating the chord changes but Mike handled the arpeggios and the high octave stuff. Big ups to Ben Mont on the keys. The whole ensemble was on point for this minor key gem. I really like the shift to the major key for the chorus. Then back to that e minor. I keep coming back because this never gets old. Petty’s lyrics are priceless and timeless.
I love that Tom's music transcends time and age. These songs will truly go on forever as long as we keep raising the next generation and the one after that to keep on listening...
That dude from Florida, Petty, was a poet Laureate of American music. A Southern man who never forgot his roots and wasn't afraid to display his influences and his love in performing to the legions of people who got what he was doing.
i guess what I always liked about Tom Petty is he always put everything into his music, his whole heart and soul. At about 7 minutes in, when the crowd thought the tune was over and started to applaud, he just started back up again and gave them another 6 minutes of virtuoso soul-baring music. Damn it was good. Maybe one of the best I've ever heard.
As a group, these guys were hard to match. No one trying to steal the show. Just pure talent working harmoniously. If you do not dig these guys, then you do not appreciate true rock and roll!
@@liamco1128 you are soooo lucky. You got to see musical history. This reminds me of when, in the 90s, my friends asked me to see Stevie Ray Vaughn. I had to work and said "next yr". A month later was the helicopter accident. RIP Stevie! I still regret not seeing him to this day.
It's amazing, and I loved the song already in 1994 when I got the album.. How come he extend this song this much and not any of his greater hits..? I am not complaining here! Greetings from Sweden! 🎸
THIS IS TOM'S MASTERPIECE. EVERYONE KNOWS I'M RIGHT. IT'S PROVEN EVERY TIME YOUR EYES AND EARS SAW AND HEARD THE LIVE PERFORMANCES OF IT. THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL AUTHENTIC. BRILLIANT. ART.
@@kitboysen441 people that know music/rock n roll know EXACTLY who these legendary men are, but true, not enough credit, which is how they like it, Mike NEVER wanted the spotlight, just to be Tom’s brother in rock/life…Benmont is the most sought after session pianist there is, all the greats requested his talent
Good Lord, has it really been more than 4 years already? Anyone else feel like they've lost about two years of their life? I will always remember the day he died. I had read online he was in the hospital. They announced once that he had died, then corrected it that he was still alive. I had tickets to see Gov't Mule that night at HoB Houston. In between songs a stage hand walked out and handed Warren a piece of paper. He spoke to everyone in the band, and then without saying much, they started playing one of Tom's songs. I was so emotional I don't even remember which song. There was not a dry eye in the house.
Say what you want about Elvis, The Beatles, Prince, MJ......Tom was (and still is) just as much of a musical gift to the world as each of them were. They all changed the world. They all affected lives. They were all strangers to no one, because we all knew them through their art. While we will never stop missing Tom, I still thank God for giving him to us as well as the technology to keep his life's work alive forever...
Saw him in Atlanta a few months before he passed away. The stage was over flowing with talent. Journey well Tom, thank you for the music and good times.
This truly is a magnificent live version of this song. This transcends rock and roll; this is true artistry, magic. I always knew all of these guys were good at what they do, but in this song, I really appreciate what true craftsmen they all are!
What a band, they are even better live than in the studio. Highly underrated guitar player Mike Campbell. Fantastic keyboards. Truly a superband with Tom Petty as icing on top of it all,
For today, I'll stop and make a comment. Gratitude that our paths crossed before the world discovered Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Before he became a King. When this DJ was Music Director of a radio station in San Jose and 6-10pm DJ. When Tom and Ron Blair came by our studio at KSJO between the soundcheck and the show. Their first in the San Francisco Bay Area at the Keystone Palo Alto. From that night, I was convinced that they had magic and fire. And after the show, we stayed up till dawn at a motel. Yes, the stories we could tell. This performance appears to be from the 30th Ann tour, Gainesville, Florida. Thankful that I can still play it on the radio. Just because. ☮💌
My 5 yr. Old son requested to hear this song tonight at bath Time.....the magic of Tom Petty and the hearbreakers is and will forever remain timeless.....we miss you here at our home Tom, but you live in our hearts.
Amazing. Just saw this on AXS in concert. I cried like a child. This song evokes SO MUCH EMOTION! (not so much the regular version, but the guitars, piano...)God-the more it went on, the more I didn't want it to end!! Thank you for the music, Tom!!!
Thank you Tom and the Heartbreakers for inmeasurably enriching my life. Tom's death just about did me in. I thank God for his Life. He truly was a light in the darkness. RiIP Tom, we miss you!
I miss him so much. His shows were like coming home to a family reunion. He included his audience in his shows and his charisma shined through. I love the memories ❤ RIP Tom
Very “intoxicating “ if you understand what’s behind this genius and the craft. Fir me its unimaginable to be able to create such original and an authentic sound that takes you on a ride that brings you down so beautifully...the song and performance is a “ real love masterpiece!😘😎😘🧚🏻♂️🎸🎸✌️
It is absolute bliss when taken into Pettys complete rise from the beginning ... this performance is just an absolute culmination of years of greatness by a band ... minus Stan of course. I just luv it, when I think of Mike n Tom going thru years this is just the ultimate when they sync up. JMO.
Just gotta focus on the positive ❤️ I’m blessed to share a show at the Berkeley with my now wife Stephanie! Rip brother Tom 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I didn’t stop dancing with her all night long and I’m pretty damn sure I shed a tear of happiness when this jam played!This song touches the soul! ❤️
I'm going to go on and guess the haters don't care for great literature either. I loved this song long before I heard the live version, could not believe how much more beautiful and profound he managed to make it. Stunning, stunning, stunning.
@@myrtiebaxter1689 Thanks ... love it on its own merits but it also reminds me of a poem called My Last Duchess ... www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43768/my-last-duchess
Mike's guitar tone speaks to my soul, he fits Tom's vocals, lyrics perfectly. Tom's guitar playing and Mike's are a twin flame. I saw them live 3 times from 1980 to 1994, always incredible.
Perfection, it often brings tears to my eyes. Not only for the loss of Mr. Petty but all my friends and family that I have lost. You’re all so very missed. RIP
Took my son to this tour as his first concert. He was seven with some speech challenges and loved Tom Betty. The challenges are gone, but not his love for Tom Petty. RIPTP.
Me too Denise, so wonderful. I’m mesmerised. I only started to listen to him a couple of days ago. I had no idea he was a rock musician. I’ve missed out all these years!
I can honestly tell you that my wife and I were in the FRONT ROW for this very concert in Gainesville and saw this awesome version live and in person. I've watched it dozens of times since and I still get chills when hear this very song on Sirius or re-live the concert on AXS TV. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! Love ya and miss ya Tom!
I watched it again this past Sat for the 5th or 6th time, it gets better every time. I cried through most of it while I ate an entire pint of B & J's Cherry Garcia. It is timeless for sure, one of the best concerts I never attended
Wow as someone who never got to see him live I am soooooo jealous. It will always be a regret of mine. I literally play his music EVERY day. I can’t stop. It makes me so sad knowing he’s not here anymore.😢
Only one word : class !!! only that !! class ... a beautiful music with soul and heart .... Eric from France RIP Mr Tom Petty you and your band are the best in my heart !!! thanks for the joy every day !!!
My goodness! If this isn’t perfection I simply don’t know what it is.. Rest easy Tom and thank you for gems like this…Your work will be admired for generations!! Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ladies and gentlemen…Accept no substitute!
Tribute bands are the next best thing, if their good. So far the ones I've seen are on every note, and keep the sound alive. It's always good to get albums and CDs, so we can have them forever. I purchased a DVD through our PBS station or one of his concerts. Always wanted to see him live, but missed the opportunity...Tom's spirit will always live on...🎶💖🎸🎤
So true Bill, it’s great that we can listen to these giants of music, but any new talent is non-existent. Rock music I think has had it’s day. Gene Simmonds from Kiss said as much :-(
Was für ein unglaublich guter Musiker.die band nicht vergessen. Man spürt die freude und den😂Spaß, bei dem was sie machen. Dieses lied ist eines der besten, die ich gehört haben durfte. Liebe Grüße an all die so tollen Musiker. Ihr macht aus unseren Gedanken worte. 😊😊😊😊😊
I'm a pretty big Petty fan, and was devastated when he died. I always loved this song, have heard it countless times but never this long version. I thought, man that first 6 minutes was perfect, existential, then the second 6 minutes just absolutely blew me totally away. I gotta go lay down for a while. TP, we all miss you but your music will live for freakin ever!
I cried so much when he died. He is my favorite, I saw him at his 40th anniversary tour in Denver before he passed away. So glad I did. I would see him every chance I got. Rip king 👑
God, I miss Tom Petty. What a great performance! Great to see him take a lead and really stretch out on it. I never saw him live, which is my own fault. I'm glad there's content like this out there.
We lost David Bowie, Chris Squire (YES), Lemmy, Glenn Frey, George Martin, Prince and sooo many others over the last year. The great news is we still have Tom Petty!!
Everyone is going to heaven or hell because everyone has a choice now. Jesus was God in the flesh and gave His Life for all mankind that would merely accept the free gift He was offering, Faith that He is who he said He was. So simple, even a child can grasp it. Examine that for yourself, please.
Lyle Pegrim you say the gift is free? really now? or is there a catch you will tell us all about? if the gift is truly free, then I think we will all accept, right?
lyle you are the first i have seen in my lifetime to say the CHRIST was/is GOD because that has been my belief since hearing "WIND UP SONG" by JETHRO TULL. LATER, THE 📒 PAD🏡 SLD
Steve es un genio!, injustamente menospreciado. Hace todo tan simple que parece fácil, y no es así. Tiene una gran independencia de manos al tocar. Tuve oportunidad de verlo en 1990 con Eric Clapton y realmente me sorprendió muy gratamente. Coincido totalmente con tu apreciación.
Tom you are the King!!! Your in our Hearts always! Hard to believe we lost you 3 years ago today. Your music and all that you gave us Lives on forever. Miss you Tom Petty❤️🙏🏻🎸🎼
I was about 23 when this came out. I saw this band as a band with strange videos. Nothing more. I'm thrilled I felt that way because at 47 I"m just "discovering" them. I always liked them but never appreciated them for the amazing musicianship as well as Tom's writing ability. No doubt one of the best bands of all time.
They did have weird but AMAZING videos, but they did not always decide how those videos would go. If you haven't had a chance to seriously dive into his catalog...please do it. Him and the Heartbreakers mad so much genre infused music, and that's not even counting the Greatest Hits. They could play blues, rock, jazz, reggae even(Don't Pull Me Over). They were one of the most well rounded bands I have ever had the pleasure of hearing!!!
There are many like you BluesMan! I was lucky enough to see them in Hyde Park last year. I never took much notice until I seen a set on TV from the Isle of Wight Festival in 2012 and I was hooked. Have look on YT for that Isle of Wight set, and you will understand why I got hooked.
This is pretty much as good as it gets in rock and roll music. Such a tight band and Tom's voice has so much charisma . Miss this man a lot . At least he left us with great memories.
A MASTERPIECE OF AWESOMENESS...!!! It truly shows the talent of Tom’s compositions and how this band created works that were under appreciated and overlooked ,but NOW are considered iconic and timeless...!!! R.I.P. Tom... so happy to have seen you work...!!!🙏👏👍
One I dont think he is high on drugs he is a true artist and they get off on jamming this way. This is his most awesome live song. Mr. Petty is a great loss to the music world and all people can worry about is how high he was is kind of sad. I have seen him play almost every tour in the last 10 years and really hate not seeing him this summer. RIP Tom Petty you are truly missed. Hope your still RUNNING DOWN A DREAM.
Beautiful work as always. Scott Thurston is such an integral part of the Heartbreakers, always delivering vocals & great work on many instruments, from the shadows.
Scott adds alot of nice work with another HOF'r...i.e. Jackson Browne too. And Mike Campbell plays the stealthy figure role on the list of great guitarists! Lotta talent amok here. Outstanding. Appreciate it I do.
Der beste live Musiker aller Zeiten mitsamt seiner Band. Manchmal frier ich bei diesem lied. Unglaublich gut und so schön gespielt.Schade, hab ihn leider nie live gesehen. Lang lebe tom petty.
Man, Tom had it together! Yeah he was a Cool Florida Dude and you can detect some of that in his music and maybe some Bob Dylan. The Tom Petty's of this world don't come around too often. Thank God for Recordings. Yeah I know, I miss him too!!
The Heartbreakers homecoming concert. It's obvious that Tom, Mike Benmont, Scott and Ferrone worked hard to deliver their best possible performances to their home folk with this album. This version of "Good To Be King" is an absolute masterpiece and will go down in my books as the best song I have ever seen from a live concert. Even the camera work was artistic. It is said that "Art is the Quality of Communication" and this song and it's performance fit that definition in that it reached out and touched my musical soul and took me to places I have never been. And that possibly, is the purpose of music It's my opinion that Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers are the best musical ensemble to ever come out of America.
Jeez. Just jeez! One the the things that made Tom’s work so amazing is that the Heartbreakers were always such an antonishing band. Thank heavens they kept it together, even with some personnel changes, all those years. Tom, Mike, Benmont. ❤️
Tom Petty is the only musician/celebrity whose death caused me to cry. I am 61 and grew up in Florida listening to Tom Petty from the beginning. Even now, I tear up thinking about the great talent that we lost. We appreciate it all, Tom!
Me too!!! And...after he passed I could not listen to his music for the longest time until just recently. Now I constantly play everything I can find.
My mom passed away same night as Tom. Always felt good about that, love them both.
feel the same about Richard Wright.
Same here, I’m with you man
Heart Breaking...Many Many ThankYou's TOM.
About as faultless live version of any song as you're ever likely to see. The musicianship, the pacing, the vocal delivery...every twist and turn is a wonder to behold. Thank you Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Always.
I’ve seen The Heartbreakers alone and once with Tom Petty. Absolutely the best live performances.

Tom Petty's death was the first non family member that I ever cried for, and mourned. His lyrics have always touched me in a way that no other musician, regardless of song writing genius (Lennon/McCartney, Dylan, etc.), ever has or ever will. I saw him in concert over 20 times from 1986 up until the last 2 shows where I saw him in 2017. I've seen him in Indiana, Red Rocks, Connecticut, NY, MA, IL, San Diego, Kansas City, and on and on. God bless him and everything he did for music, and for the people who loved him for it.
I was the same dude. I had so many friends texting me that day and giving me their condolences. Im still not really over it
There is something so deep when he plays, it truly touches your soul..........he left us way too soon! We were fortunate to have him.❤
I saw him in LA once and Joni Mitchell was seated several rows back. I'd gotten front row seats. That was just before Tom got sober so he was a little sloppy. Still a good show. Much better than any other band I saw ever.
I have watched this video over 50 times and I still get the goosebumps every single time. So much talent, its scary. RIP Tom, you will live on forever in our hearts.
By heck 🎸, saw hendrix Clapton, ac dc, ❤️ 🎸 💕, can't stop playing this, mind you I'm 73 years young, wow 👍 rip Tom, ❤️ 💔
This bit needs to be kept in the time capsule. It would be awesome to know the circumstances of their entire very special day that led to this very very special night.
I lost the count I’m sure they’re manny
COULDN'T AGREE MORE! WHAT A SONG, WHAT A PERFORMANCE..!!
Goosebumps were all around Curtis Hixon Auditorium 2005...they opened with "Running Down A Dream" i thought the room was going to blow up from the response.
Give Mike Campbell his credit for being Tom’s right hand all those years. Pretty clear Petty was orchestrating the chord changes but Mike handled the arpeggios and the high octave stuff. Big ups to Ben Mont on the keys. The whole ensemble was on point for this minor key gem. I really like the shift to the major key for the chorus. Then back to that e minor. I keep coming back because this never gets old. Petty’s lyrics are priceless and timeless.
Damn right!!! Sometimes a poser 😂 yet a great string wizzard 👏👏👏
Yes, that soooo truth…..
Epic duo
Amen to that bro 🎸 👍, superb guitar player, one of the best, 🎸😂
Who's Perry?
This is one of the best things I've ever seen. Tom Petty and Mike Campbell... so completely in sync, they're like two halves of the same person.
Well said, mate!
diggit
Brothers from another mother.....
and funny when Mike was going to enroll at University of Florida and Tom said "why do you want to do that? I`m going to start a band"
I love that Tom's music transcends time and age. These songs will truly go on forever as long as we keep raising the next generation and the one after that to keep on listening...
That dude from Florida, Petty, was a poet Laureate of American music. A Southern man who never forgot his roots and wasn't afraid to display his influences and his love in performing to the legions of people who got what he was doing.
Gainesville Florida. Something about that town and music....
I like the words you use to describe Tom.

I'm 5 years too late to respond, but thanks Irene. I'm with you.

Agree 100%
Great song but I like when jam a bit too
Well....he's Tom Petty....
And he performed, played, and felt music, like none other, ever....RIP TOM PETTY, WE MISS U❤
As a group, these guys were hard to match. No one trying to steal the show. Just pure talent working harmoniously. If you do not dig these guys, then you do not appreciate true rock and roll!
This version is pure magic. RIP to one of the great American Treasures.
This is my favorite performance of any Tom Petty song anywhere, anytime. It moves me to my core.
When he was older, he was a master of music and nothing sounds rushed.
I wholeheartedly agree. I was so fortunate to see this song played in Seattle on his last tour. Tragicly 2 months later he died. 😢
@@liamco1128 you are soooo lucky. You got to see musical history. This reminds me of when, in the 90s, my friends asked me to see Stevie Ray Vaughn. I had to work and said "next yr".
A month later was the helicopter accident. RIP Stevie!
I still regret not seeing him to this day.
I watch it once a month
It's amazing, and I loved the song already in 1994 when I got the album.. How come he extend this song this much and not any of his greater hits..? I am not complaining here! Greetings from Sweden! 🎸
THIS IS TOM'S MASTERPIECE. EVERYONE KNOWS I'M RIGHT. IT'S PROVEN EVERY TIME YOUR EYES AND EARS SAW AND HEARD THE LIVE PERFORMANCES OF IT. THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL AUTHENTIC. BRILLIANT. ART.
The entire album Wildflowers is a masterpiece
🎨
Agreed
Mystic eyes is a close second and I'm crying third
Southern Accent is Tom’s masterpiece. He captures his life and the rest of us here in Florida’s worldview better than any song I’ve ever heard.
Mike doesn’t get enough credit of being such an outstanding guitarist that he truly is ✌️❤️
...As Benmont doesn't get enough praise for his Piano, either.🥂🍾

@@kitboysen441 people that know music/rock n roll know EXACTLY who these legendary men are, but true, not enough credit, which is how they like it, Mike NEVER wanted the spotlight, just to be Tom’s brother in rock/life…Benmont is the most sought after session pianist there is, all the greats requested his talent
Legends all
Your comment is spot on! Tom gives thumbs up I bet.
It's still so hard to believe he's gone. Perhaps because his music is timeless, so is he. RIP Tom, we're Heartbroken.
It is.. I was in shock when he died.. So sad.. He's a true legend.
xo
I agree! So many of our artists are passing on it hurts if I focus on it. ✌️
Tom will always be with us

That solo at the end was absolute FIRE
Unbelievably so. I could listen to this over and over again. Spectacular!!! It IS beautiful
I think I just shed a tear ...
It takes me to so many different places and brings so many different emotions. Simply the best. Tom Petty is king 👑
I need to know… what concert this is from
So much emotion in that amazing Solo!
Come back, Tom. The world darkened when you moved on. We need you now.
Saw him in Atlanta a few months before he passed away. The stage was over flowing with talent. Journey well Tom, thank you for the music and good times.
This belongs in a rock historic archive titled "how it's done".

Glad you're raising your son to have great taste in music!
This is awesome! I was singing Tom Petty throughout the store in my underoos during the 80's.
My guess would be that your son was here in a former life....
Well done. I like this kid already. Raising him up with great actual music..
I just love the fact that his songs spoke to me plus were qood to sing along with!

Thank you Tom and the Heartbreakers for inmeasurably enriching my life. Tom's death just about did me in. I thank God for his Life. He truly was a light in the darkness. RiIP Tom, we miss you!
I felt the same way. It helped to find Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs, feels like home.
My heart still breaks a little bit more every time I hear his music!! 😍🌹🌈🌠
Broke down in the public library....
I'm an old fart, 68 years old, and this is a great song, cause I am the KIng of my World.
Are we that old? Ha! Perhaps physically, but not mentally........
I concur!
I'm a kid (17 years old) and I dig this too!! Tom Petty is one of my heroes!
I miss him so much. His shows were like coming home to a family reunion. He included his audience in his shows and his charisma shined through. I love the memories ❤ RIP Tom

In this world some people don't like music. I m talking about good music!
this song is incredible!
And THIS is good music!

I think some people do it just to piss TP & THB fans off. They don't know what real music is today, they have tin ears.

Steve Ferrone is one of two Steve's that made me understand playing for the song, and how valuable the space between notes truly is.
Hes toured with the best. Check him out backing Genesis live on Carpet Crawlers. Clapton too with his all star band.
He's fantastic.
How can a song with only three chords be so moving and powerful? Bless you, Tom Petty. You are missed.
Sometimes 3 chords are all you need to say everything there is to say
Tom Petty was the coolest rock and roll star ever.
Sandra's TP f'n A!! right on,!!!
I would agree but Eddie van Halen exist
Tom Petty was number 1. Rest in peace💎
The Heartbreakers. Värdens bästa kompband🎁
Amen
Mike's guitar tone speaks to my soul, he fits Tom's vocals, lyrics perfectly. Tom's guitar playing and Mike's are a twin flame. I saw them live 3 times from 1980 to 1994, always incredible.
Tom crushed those solos…his tone was awesome
I own several 335’s because of Mike Campbell
Perfection, it often brings tears to my eyes. Not only for the loss of Mr. Petty but all my friends and family that I have lost. You’re all so very missed. RIP
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded!
Took my son to this tour as his first concert. He was seven with some speech challenges and loved Tom Betty. The challenges are gone, but not his love for Tom Petty. RIPTP.
This is the best version of "It's Good to be King" [Live] Just off the hook instrumentally sound.
Same
Love this version so much. Tom's guitar riffs are incredible. I could listen to this all day!
I love this version to
It makes you want to go down to the house in the woods doesn't it?

Me too Denise, so wonderful. I’m mesmerised. I only started to listen to him a couple of days ago. I had no idea he was a rock musician. I’ve missed out all these years!
@@apmills3406 You will find a great mountain of Tom ‘s genius music, a great man too.
Such a dreamy song with great lyrics and still a kick-ass yet mellow guitar solo. It's freaking amazing and never gets old.
Does Tom really ever get old? What a voice and writer.
What about face in the crowd . Bout as mellow as it gets
@@jackd1582 yeah but I said "mellow AND kickass. LOL Face in the Crowd is cool, too. :)
@@sharonwalsh7840 True . At that point I had only listened to about of this live one recording
Love the keyboards on this, Benmont is freaking outrageous. (I am a classical pianist)
Michael Dolan I don't play, but I'll tell you what a piano absolutely melts my insides. I would sit and listen to you play. Merry Christmas...
Love me some Benmont
Still so hard to think Tom isn't around. Damn. RIP Tom. You gave us so much great music.
This is maybe the greatest live song ever played
You speak truth!
Tom Petty was one artist that I had hoped that I would meet some day before I die. Lost out on that.
#MeToo
I can honestly tell you that my wife and I were in the FRONT ROW for this very concert in Gainesville and saw this awesome version live and in person. I've watched it dozens of times since and I still get chills when hear this very song
on Sirius or re-live the concert on AXS TV. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! Love ya and miss ya Tom!
you just made everyone who's watched this very very jealous. To have seen this 1st hand live must have been spine chilling. thanks for the memory.
You were King on that night
I watched it again this past Sat for the 5th or 6th time, it gets better every time. I cried through most of it while I ate an entire pint of B & J's Cherry Garcia. It is timeless for sure, one of the best concerts I never attended
Dude ❤️🔥 I’m speechless 💘 this is why this APP exists ☯️
Wow as someone who never got to see him live I am soooooo jealous. It will always be a regret of mine. I literally play his music EVERY day. I can’t stop. It makes me so sad knowing he’s not here anymore.😢
On repeat. Soothes the soul. Thank you again mr Petty and your fine fine band
This is my moral compass for classic rock for there will never be another elvis and another lennon and there will never be another tom petty
Only one word : class !!! only that !! class ... a beautiful music with soul and heart .... Eric from France
RIP Mr Tom Petty you and your band are the best in my heart !!! thanks for the joy every day !!!
Benmont is so perfect. I love this version.
I listen to Tom on his Sirius radio channel. He has mentioned that this song means so very much to him.
It's one of my favorite songs of his. It's not one the greatest hits album, but man it should be.
My goodness! If this isn’t perfection I simply don’t know what it is.. Rest easy Tom and thank you for gems like this…Your work will be admired for generations!! Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ladies and gentlemen…Accept no substitute!
Has to be the greatest performance ever. Mike Campbell is one of the top 5 lead gutair men all time. Tom Petty is just phenomenal.
Guitar *people*
the talent of this group of musicians is a beautiful thing!
Now thats a superstar .
Thank him for all he did and didn’t give us. He was so real and now he’s gone.
It’s tragic this type of musicianship and artistry is dying. We need more of this in our lives.
Thankfully we have the internet so his music will always be here......hopefully! ✌️
Tribute bands are the next best thing, if their good. So far the ones I've seen are on every note, and keep the sound alive. It's always good to get albums and CDs, so we can have them forever. I purchased a DVD through our PBS station or one of his concerts. Always wanted to see him live, but missed the opportunity...Tom's spirit will always live on...🎶💖🎸🎤
So true Bill, it’s great that we can listen to these giants of music, but any new talent is non-existent. Rock music I think has had it’s day. Gene Simmonds from Kiss said as much :-(
You nailed it my friend!
I totally agree. It was a great loss when he passed. He is truly missed. Best concert ever seen.
He has always been King. I will miss his music and his wit. Time to fly Tom. Ya got your wings.
Tom Petty I would really enjoy a pint with you.Last of the great Rock Bands?Hope not,but!
Best concert ive ever seen by TPHB. WOW this is so touching, the way they connect with each other is sublime.
Was für ein unglaublich guter Musiker.die band nicht vergessen. Man spürt die freude und den😂Spaß, bei dem was sie machen. Dieses lied ist eines der besten, die ich gehört haben durfte. Liebe Grüße an all die so tollen Musiker. Ihr macht aus unseren Gedanken worte. 😊😊😊😊😊
Unglaublich schön. Lang lebe tom petty
As long as we keep listening, Tom Petty will never die!
Long Live the King! ✌🏻
Thanks for the music King Tom :(
chromedreamer nice 🍻
love how he takes the ending of 'good to be king' and makes it even better I mean its already amazing but what a nice little addition....
yes I loved that little change to it's more trancy now...Mike Campbell is phenomenal
508 ppl have no concept of emotion. Love when he jams with the drummer. Awesome !!!!!!! rip Tom
I'm a pretty big Petty fan, and was devastated when he died. I always loved this song, have heard it countless times but never this long version.
I thought, man that first 6 minutes was perfect, existential, then the second 6 minutes just absolutely blew me totally away. I gotta go lay down for a while. TP, we all miss you but your music will live for freakin ever!
I cried so much when he died. He is my favorite, I saw him at his 40th anniversary tour in Denver before he passed away. So glad I did. I would see him every chance I got. Rip king 👑
Amazing, one of the best arrangements and solo parts I have ever heard, what a gift! RIP Tom, we missed you so much.
One of those videos where CZcams should have a LOVE button 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
God, I miss Tom Petty. What a great performance! Great to see him take a lead and really stretch out on it. I never saw him live, which is my own fault. I'm glad there's content like this out there.
We lost David Bowie, Chris Squire (YES), Lemmy, Glenn Frey, George Martin, Prince and sooo many others over the last year. The great news is we still have Tom Petty!!
Everyone is going to heaven or hell because everyone has a choice now. Jesus was God in the flesh and gave His Life for all mankind that would merely accept the free gift He was offering, Faith that He is who he said He was. So simple, even a child can grasp it. Examine that for yourself, please.
Lyle Pegrim you say the gift is free? really now? or is there a catch you will tell us all about?
if the gift is truly free, then I think we will all accept, right?
lyle you are the first i have seen in my lifetime to
say the CHRIST was/is GOD because that has been
my belief since hearing "WIND UP SONG" by
JETHRO TULL.

Leonard Cohen and Leon Russell join that list....and no forget the great Scott Weiland of course.
of course and now we lost Greg Lake...
Steve Ferrone makes this song work. His groove is so wide open and relaxed. His outro groove on record is spectacular. Totally in the pocket.
Deep groove.
Steve is one of my all time faves
Steve es un genio!, injustamente menospreciado. Hace todo tan simple que parece fácil, y no es así. Tiene una gran independencia de manos al tocar. Tuve oportunidad de verlo en 1990 con Eric Clapton y realmente me sorprendió muy gratamente. Coincido totalmente con tu apreciación.
One solid drummer
Um, excuse me??? Tom Petty makes this song work. There's no song without Petty
It draws such an emotional response from me....I really feel the message...i feel that energy...it's such a haunting kind of a Song...incredible
Tom you are the King!!! Your in our Hearts always! Hard to believe we lost you 3 years ago today. Your music and all that you gave us Lives on forever. Miss you Tom Petty❤️🙏🏻🎸🎼
TOM PETTY IS KING
mały--- gawd damn right he is! Tears running down my face as this plays! Tom fucking Petty!
R.I.P. you are truly one of the greatest men to walk this fine earth
Beautiful mix!!! This song is just God's Music!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wow this is so special the coolest guy ever just amazing performance i saw him at Knebworth around 1978 i new then he would go far but this is amazing
Me too. I went to see him not the headliners Genesis, who were btw also great.
TOP 5 SONG OF ALL TIME. END OF STORY.
I was about 23 when this came out. I saw this band as a band with strange videos. Nothing more. I'm thrilled I felt that way because at 47 I"m just "discovering" them. I always liked them but never appreciated them for the amazing musicianship as well as Tom's writing ability. No doubt one of the best bands of all time.
indeed!
They did have weird but AMAZING videos, but they did not always decide how those videos would go. If you haven't had a chance to seriously dive into his catalog...please do it. Him and the Heartbreakers mad so much genre infused music, and that's not even counting the Greatest Hits. They could play blues, rock, jazz, reggae even(Don't Pull Me Over). They were one of the most well rounded bands I have ever had the pleasure of hearing!!!
Blues Man I agree. Now he's gone. I did get to see him in the 80s . Kinda hazy memories. RIP Tom.
There are many like you BluesMan! I was lucky enough to see them in Hyde Park last year. I never took much notice until I seen a set on TV from the Isle of Wight Festival in 2012 and I was hooked. Have look on YT for that Isle of Wight set, and you will understand why I got hooked.
@@colingraham9281 Will for sure check it out, Gone, but never,ever will he be forgotten.💞💙💔😍✨
This is pretty much as good as it gets in rock and roll music. Such a tight band and Tom's voice has so much charisma . Miss this man a lot . At least he left us with great memories.
A MASTERPIECE OF AWESOMENESS...!!!
It truly shows the talent of Tom’s compositions and how this band created works that were under appreciated and overlooked ,but NOW are considered iconic and timeless...!!! R.I.P. Tom... so happy to have seen you work...!!!🙏👏👍
Oh man...can't stop watching this. "It's good to be king, whatever it pays"... So tight...
One I dont think he is high on drugs he is a true artist and they get off on jamming this way. This is his most awesome live song. Mr. Petty is a great loss to the music world and all people can worry about is how high he was is kind of sad.
I have seen him play almost every tour in the last 10 years and really hate not seeing him this summer. RIP Tom Petty you are truly missed. Hope your still RUNNING DOWN A DREAM.

So, so happy I stumbled across this. This version is awesome
Beautiful work as always. Scott Thurston is such an integral part of the Heartbreakers, always delivering vocals & great work on many instruments, from the shadows.
Scott adds alot of nice work with another HOF'r...i.e. Jackson Browne too. And Mike Campbell plays the stealthy figure role on the list of great guitarists! Lotta talent amok here. Outstanding. Appreciate it I do.
THANK you Mr. Petty I know cant hear it for all you did for music..and thank you Mr. Campbell who can hear..
THANK you
Oh Dear God does it get any better????
Ever since wildflowers came out, I have said that I will be buried to this song
Der beste live Musiker aller Zeiten mitsamt seiner Band. Manchmal frier ich bei diesem lied. Unglaublich gut und so schön gespielt.Schade, hab ihn leider nie live gesehen. Lang lebe tom petty.
Definitely one of the top 5 live performances of a song I have ever seen.
Best recorded version of this song...just majestic. That vintage 335 MC is playing is as gorgeous as it sounds (especially with the Ebow)...
Lordy feel like I"m listening to heaven
Man, Tom had it together! Yeah he was a Cool Florida Dude and you can detect some of that in his music and maybe some Bob Dylan. The Tom Petty's of this world don't come around too often. Thank God for Recordings. Yeah I know, I miss him too!!
The Heartbreakers homecoming concert. It's obvious that Tom, Mike Benmont, Scott and Ferrone worked hard to deliver their best possible performances to their home folk with this album. This version of "Good To Be King" is an absolute masterpiece and will go down in my books as the best song I have ever seen from a live concert. Even the camera work was artistic. It is said that "Art is the Quality of Communication" and this song and it's performance fit that definition in that it reached out and touched my musical soul and took me to places I have never been. And that possibly, is the purpose of music It's my opinion that Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers are the best musical ensemble to ever come out of America.
the best live version I have heard. thank you
+ZosoTheBlackDog no. and really if it's better in your mind that's cool.
This is simply his greatest work
Jeez. Just jeez! One the the things that made Tom’s work so amazing is that the Heartbreakers were always such an antonishing band. Thank heavens they kept it together, even with some personnel changes, all those years. Tom, Mike, Benmont. ❤️
So many great songs from Mr. Tom Petty. This could be the best quality live performance, musically, ever. Tom Petty lives at my house
