    My husband and I would play this song, every Friday night before we went out to our favorite beach bar. He died this week. The day after, I was standing in line at the Target pharmacy, waiting to pick up a prescription.This song came on. I don't remember ever hearing music in Target before. I think this was his way of contacting me. We were married 58 years.

If you go back into the catalog, he’s a big part of the magic on every song. Don’t Do Me Like That sounds like they wrote it to put him out front. Whole band is in top form on this one. We miss you, Mr. Petty.

    Mike Campbell killed it! I like how he looks at his band mates after his solo, kinda like, “ok boys, put a bow on it, I’m good”. That was one of the most incredible solos ever. I’ve got it on “repeat” in my truck for my ride to and from work. Put a bow on it!

      my husband had to get used to my eclectic taste in music, he has like a really limited amount of music that he likes , I like all, so when it came to rock he was not for it and I broke him with dream on and now this one he likes it I can tell because he doesn't tell me to lower it or change it and I blast it and do the air guitar on my way to work😆😆😆

    Sometimes I seem to forget just how great Tom Petty was. This concert reminds me very quickly just how great he was. One of the best. RIP Tom you brought a lot of beauty into this world.
    I was lucky enough to see him 3 times.When he did this concert in Gainesville my wife was undergoing a bone marrow transplant at Shands in Gainesville and unfortunately we were so caught up in her that I didn't even realize he was playing. It was only until a few years later when I saw this on you tube that I figured out what I had missed. Still kick myself in the ass over that one.
    My wife she's still kicking and is even more pissed than me that we missed this while only a few blocks away.
