If this song was released today, there would be a huge audience for it. Timeless.🌌🌠
All of us that know the world has gone mad.
"American Girl" will always be an anthem for all of us women who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s. Tom will always have a place in our hearts.
Agreed. We had the best music.
God bless you always from Philadelphia USA❤❤❤
Sometimes I can't believe that Tom Petty is no longer with us. But his music will always be alive.

We saw him in concert 4 months before he passed. Such a great night.
I wake up sometimes and remember he’s gone and I want to go right back to bed.
Same. Complete shock when he passed.
Totally agree. Toms unexpected passing left a huge hole in the world.
Anyone who wears those glasses with those sideburns doesn't give a single damn what anyone thinks lol
pre cell phones, no soc.media, no fucks given,80's baby
The big teeth complete the perfection
@@Mrbrownstone1028 and the wispy moustache
the glasses were to hide the massively dilated pupils after smoking best quality Morocco Hashish
Those glasses are really Roger McGuinn.
This song should be America’s Rock & Roll anthem ….
I was 17 and in that crowd. The worst thing about being young is, you don’t really know the big moments in your life when they’re happening. (Sure, we’ll have concerts like this all the time!) Yeah, right. One of the highlights in a day full of highlights.
18 and in that crowd
Amazing!!!
DUDE! How cool was it?
@@billystutz55 technically it was not as hell until they turned on the fire hoses. But it was one of the best days of my life. To be 17 again …
Ain't that the truth. 20 years go by in the blink of an eye and you realize how good you had it then
Saw Petty & the Heartbreakers in Hammersmith ‘O’ 1977 - 2nd billing to Nils Lofgren. Tom P & his band blew us all away - he never looked back, becoming a huge internationally acclaimed band - rightly so. Glad I saw them then - they were modest in their initial opening, but it didn’t take them long to show us ‘they were IT’.
Thanks for this clip.
Love to all, JaneR
Oh how I loved Tom Petty. I finally went to see him not long before he passed. I went alone. I did not care. Just had been on my bucket list for so long! When life gets tough, Tom Petty pulls me back from the deep end. RIP you talented man. You were in the soundtrack of my life!
I have to believe that Tom Petty is in heaven with a harem of millions of women and I want to join their ranks when I die!
Tom Petty was the epitome of what the American classic rock-n-roll artist should look, and sound like.
I'm 65 so I've listened to this band from the beginning. I never could fully understand when people would get distraught when celebrities passed away. When Tom passed, it hurt deeply and I'm fairly sure I shed a tear or two. I realized I was mourning for myself as well, for the 40+ years that have passed since I first heard this song. This was a great musician and a road map of my life.
I think Tom would love to of heard about the day my two teenage boys were in the car with their mother. She likes pop and keeps up with most of it. She was going through the radio channels this day and went past one and both boys said, "Go back, that was Tom Petty." That was a sign I've done something right as a dad.
amazing comment brother
We don't have to know them personally to be lovingly touched in musical and magical ways where we have pure bliss!
São essas simples coisas que fazemos que marcam profundamente nossos corações...parabéns...
I'm 51 and this song makes me feel good like it did almost 40 years ago. RIP Tom.
It was my 24th birthday and I was about to become a dad for the first time in August 85😊
He was an American Boyee ... raised on imagination who brought enlightenment to many 😊😋🎶🤗✌️🌊🌞 Thanks Tom...
All the goodness Tom Petty brought to the world, he gave us all the goodness!
I love this guy, wether he's gone or not , was the fave and is my favorite still of all.
1:10 Tom flipin the bird to 1.9 billion live viewers. Rock n Roll, man.
No he was flippin the bird at me...I went back in time from 2018 to 1985 I gave my younger version of me..14 at the time .. my iPhone and he took a picture of tom ..! While I held a sign that said YOUR MUSIC SUCKS..! I’ve never felt so proud from getting the finger from Tom Petty..! Wow!..:)
Ricardo Torres wow....
Yeah ..even stranger Scott me and my younger version of me ..went back stage saw Madonna..drinking on Pepsi ..went up to her introduced myself...showed my iPhone..went to CZcams ..to show her what she look like at 60
..she fainted ..me and my younger version stole her panties I went back in time in 1994 gave them to Dave Letterman ...! And that’s how the hatred between the 2 started ..on his show in 1994 ..! They didn't know it was me..! Man time traveling is cool..!
Tom Petty said he was flipping someone off backstage. He said that the song was a last-minute addition when the band realised that they would be the first act to play the American side of the concert after the London finale and "since this is, after all, JFK Stadium"
Nah he was flipping me off I’m pretty sure!
I was there. I'm the one he kept giving the finger to. I am blessed. RIP Tom Petty.
Had the pleasure of meeting him and doing a press day with him when I worked for his record company in the late 70’s. Such a lovely guy.
I met Tom , he was the color of creative love and music that reached out to so many people, especially in Florida. We deeply miss him
Wow. What a beautiful man. Remember that day so well
One of the best bands ever... period.
Right on ❤️❤️ I miss Tom every single day of my life. Greetings from Madrid and merry Xmas ✌️✌️
So under the radar as best American bands of all time imo
@@silviojoseperedacortes7029 me too
@@seancotter9156 a warm hug from Madrid Spain and keep listening to the best RnR ever, 🤟🤟
They certainly stole the show that day, they were smokiin!
Whenever my daughter meets people who don’t know who Tom Petty is, she always rolls her eyes. 😂🤣😘
One of the great rock and roll songs of all time.
It’s up there for sure! 25 but like this music over my generations music.
@@jamesr2164id say, like Bo Diddley’s who do you love and iggy pop’s The Passenger it’s one of the most copied tunes out there
I vividly remember watching this live. Absolutely one of the greatest bands ever. Petty was such a genius.
The dress, the look, the style and voice. Such an icon.
I got to meet Tom Petty and he was so cool. Nothing fazed him. Such talent.
Was there at Wembley UK.Was EPIC and A good World effort to come together and HELP THOSE IN NEED! THANKS TOM AND THE HEARTBREAKERS FOR ALL THE BRILLIANT TIMES AND TUNES!
This was recorded in Philadelphia at JFK.
god I love to see him jammin that Rickenbacker..I wore out Damn the Torpedos..My mom even loved Toms music
Class of 1984 🇺🇲🎄
NEWTON
PENNSYLVANIA USA ❤️ UNBELIEVABLE
❤❤❤❤❤I love Tom Petty so much!! RestInParadise
crazy how good the quality is and sound that translates to 2023 and beyond
Tom looks like a civil war veteran who got transported to the 1970s then took 10 years to figure his shit out
😁
One foot in the grave, and one foot on the pedal,
Tom was born a rebel!
You couldn't be more accurate.
Amazing Comment.
This is a severely underrated comment lol
I was just an American girl when I discovered Tom , I was bout 13 I guess ,, way back then just turned 57 ,, still lookin ,, for that place ,,
Really hard to believe Tom Petty is gone.
What a great moment in time. I sure miss the 80s, Tom Petty and so much of the great music that came from that time.
One of the most fun concerts I ever went to was Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers in Milwaukee on July 5th, 2017, with my dad. It was a 40th anniversary tour so they played only the hits, and the whole audience was just dancing and singing and you could smell the weed that was a few rows down. It was a feel-good concert that was so much fun, and sadly he passed away just a few months later. Still one of my all time favorite memories, and the concert alone definitely made Tom Petty my favorite rock star!
I saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on Damn the The Torpedoes Tour around 1977 i think at the Universal Theater and had really bad seats so me and my friend got down to the front row and that was cool ,then the security guard busted us.....but he did not kick us out!Just told us
To go back to our seats ....he played the most of that album,that was before they put a roof on it summer night just great stuff
I saw the tour in Cleveland. I had no idea I was watching the last run of shows of one of America’s greatest songwriters.
I was at that show, too. Drove up on a whim that morning and was so glad I did.
I am in that crowd....great moment from an incredible show.
During the camera pan of the audience, I wondered how many comments I'd see from people who were actually there! So cool.
@@lucygirl4926 I've looked for myself for years! Still never found myself. But it was a surreal, amazing show.

Woooooooooooooooow~ 부럽다 >,.
I was there. I remember it was brutally HOT
I was 75 years old in that crowd so amazing
They all were so young and had no clue how many lives they'd touch
His posters were all over my bedroom walls when I was a senior in high school. 1983. Tommy Petty lives on forever !
Seen Tom Petty on my 21st birthday June 20 1985 Houston Tx..still got my t-shirt and my American Girl
...RIP Tom
Seen him at the woodlands in like 97. I was in 7th grade. Front row. So glad I can say I seen this legend before he passed.
Hang on to them. They are priceless.
*saw
Turn on Petty at anytime, instant happiness.
Coolest mother.f........ to lead a rock & roll band this country has had!
Damn I miss Tom petty. We are losing, and have lost so many wonderful artists. Rest, Tom petty . Mr. and Mrs. WARD.
I was just thinking the same thing while listening to this
Life is so short bud
I agree.
Nobody like Tom never will be he was BEAUTIFUL
@ missdarlene7 WOW ‼️ AWESOME TOTALLY ‼️😎 HOW HAVE I MISSED THIS 😍⁉️ Take it Easy Baby, Make it last all Night ‼️❤️ Sincerely Darlene an American Girl who has a thing for drummers ❤️❤️❤️
Tom and Heartbreakers are my wounded knee cause i never went to see them.. Now it has been couple of years impossible. Love them and missing Tom
Mike Campbell is the most underrated guitarist in history.
Spencer Morgan no sir.. that’d be MICK MARS
@@Mostafa20268 everyone knows who Clapton and Harrison are
@@Mostafa20268 give over
Indeed yes!
He’s underrated for sure. If Tom was the motor of this band Mike was the gas!
We need a Tom Petty movie
Starring Jon Heder
Chad Moore I could get behind this!
@@AlternateJunkie czcams.com/video/Z-wXfnX5enk/video.html Not a film and I guess you've seen it but this is quality - czcams.com/video/Z-wXfnX5enk/video.html
100%.
A fricken men!
That right there is the only live aid the world ever needed! 😍
One of the GREATEST, ROCKERS, OF ALL TIME!!!!
You can argue they were the greatest American Rock n' Roll band in history. When Tom passed, I felt a sadness that I usually don't in terms of celebrities. Thank you Tom, I got to see ya once :) I still remember...
Right there with you.
Amen brother
I did too!!!
Got to see them live 4 times all around the Tampa St Petersburg / Lakeland Civic Center area good times and tickets were about $ 7:50 to 10:00 bucks beer $1:00 gas 89 cents a gallon weed 25 dollars half ounce
This comment is wrong.
You can't *argue* that they were the best American rock n' roll band
They ARE!
Six years before "Silence of the Lambs" made this song even more epic than it already was.
Tom was an American God.
The madness of crowds? 160,000 people to hear a concert all of the funds went to individual farmers who worked all the hours sent to them and the money showed up. Geldorf messed it up, Petty rescued it. Beyond being a good human being he effected real change for real people.
What an icon. Incredible song writing. The beauty is in the simplicity. So sad I never got a chance to see him live.
Saw him 3 times. TOTALLY entertaining artist! Not just a performer, but a real artist who shared his genius with each and every person present!
I WANT that coat! TP was always impeccably dressed.
Thank you.
I remember back in the early 80s me and a couple buddies went to see him every time he came close to St Louis right around the time Damn The Torpedoes came out. People were saying who’s Tom Petty. We knew. A year later everyone else did too. Then they knew why we were such fans
Such a cool badass. Tom Petty makes you feel fine everytime.

@@stacisandhas3937 You are badass too ;)
@@redcanband931, thank you😘
I just can’t believe that was 35 years ago. We miss you Tom! Damned aging process creating all this reflection......Tom flippin the bird snaps ya right out of it! Thanks Tom!
Spectacular
I miss Tom!😢❤
I just love that this song has reached so many generations.... just a great timeless song....
😂👍
Nice to catch in a small venue like this
Yes, I agree. Can’t beat it for intimacy, and the sense of almost being on stage with the performers.
🤣
Wow
I was 30 rows back....greatest single day of my youth!
HarmonicTrading ya they don’t build venues like they used to
Great version. Love the jacket, Tom. RIP
Miss this band. Tp forever.
TOM PETTY (1950 - 2017)
Rest In Peace 😭
You might be cool, but you’ll never be Tom Petty cool until you can rock those sideburns and sunglasses.
I'm a big fan of TP and the Heart breakers. For some reason though I'm mad at Tom and I don't know why. Hell I'm man enough to admit I cried when he passed away..
Wow, that was amazing, that was true rock and roll energy at the end.
RIP the coolest man in rock history his duets with Stevie Nicks bring tears to my eyes.
Keith Isaacs
Insider is beautiful. Did you know that Fleetwood Mac(with Mike) play Free Fallin with Stevie on lead vocal at every performance now?
1985...When the world had Live Aid and Aids. But no Covid19...Peace and love people!!! Stay healthy!!! RIP King Tom Petty!!!
AIDS was worse than Covid.
@@BLTKellys That depends on "your" perspective of "worse".....It's certainly worse for those infected, but it's not worse for the masses that do not engage in risky contact with carriers or even by breathing their exhale...Covid is airborne and HIV/AIDS is not.
Live Aids
The talent at the show was just unimaginable. Never again. We salute you all. The best generation of music ever
thankyou so much for the amazing music Tom RIP xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Who else is sheltering watching this great stuff? 2020
Guilty! Freddie, Tom, George and David all left such amazing music behind for us to enjoy. Stay safe and most importantly stay sane!
35 years ago today...this was 4 miles from my house!
Lynn Peirce - Very Cool. I bet you could hear it.
Me a 12 year old girl from Norway
Me. It would be nice if t.v. producers should play this whole concert on the tube instead of us watching bits and pieces of it.
Tom Petty is so incredibly cool. I play this when I'm driving in my white Camaro.
I think about this song every time I drive down old 441 in Gainesville
The best line-up I reckon......
What a great performance of an American anthem. Kudos!
RIP Tom Petty. You made a lot of great music.
I love it when he flips the bird
Diggin the horn hits.
When Tom arrived, all the bands that I’d been listening to, that I thought were great, they just disappeared, for the exception of The rolling stones and AC⚡️DC & Tom
petty and the heartbreakers. Absolutely top shelf entertainment!
Man this music and these players... this will turn into a treasured religion.
If you go deep enough you’ll find that it’s all there... and you’ll “get it”on a subtle level.
This performance flashed it’s colours.
Time machine built, get in!!!
I miss Tom Petty. I was always a big fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. You always got a lot more than your money's worth from an album by Tom and the Heartbreakers.
On July 13th, 1985, I finally was able to discern "Out on 441...". We spent hours and hours in college trying to decipher what he was saying. I will never forget that day, watching the concert in my shitty apartment with about 20 friends. Oh to be young again.
Gainesville's number one son. RIP, Tommy.
He was a excellent singer in the world😢thanks tom for your music
This is rock and roll baby breath it in
I always loved Stan Lynch's method of winding the Heartbreakers' songs down during his tenure.
Some of the best American Rock N Roll ever made.... can't believe Tom is gone.
TP was one of a kind for sure. He was also loved by some musical giants too ... Dylan, George, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, *plus* he was buddies with the hilarious Garry Shandling.
My favorite Tom Petty/Heartbreakers song. It has always reminded me of my middle daughter Tori.
~ John A 🇺🇸🐄🇺🇸🦬🦅👀
Wish , I could've been there sing it baby!!😘
Great Band with Great Sounds and the Greatest Songs
This is the best concert. That ever was.
He was a great singer . Gone to soon
❤god bless you tom.Absoloute legend.R.I.P
