    Looking at Benmont's hands playing the piano is beautiful to me. Just thinking about the thousands of times he played while Tom sang brings a tear to my eyes. Oh, if only to be able to relive all those times. Thanks to Ben, Mike and the other Heartbreakers. I'm sure they, like us, dearly miss our Tom Petty.

    First two songs had me spellbound. Benmont is an extraordinary musician. Mike forever a foundation of the Heartbreakers sound. Moving tribute. In my mind I kept thinking how hard it must have been initially to step back into that studio. That last song lifted me back up.

    Heartstring-tugging tribute for sure. As a guitarist, I miss TP so much, but it has given me a whole new level of appreciation for Mike as an artist and a human being. So glad I picked up tix for his DIRTY KNOBS performance at Park West come October 2021-- even worth flyin' there from Phoenix. I just feel the need to see this man Live and introduce the bride to him.

I saw you guys numerous times growing up and throughout the years, the last time in Philadelphia, on my birthday, in 2017, when I took my wife, who had never been to a Heartbreakers concert.

    So so so sad seeing them at the end of the first 2 songs trying to keep it together 💕💕💕 only truly amazing professionals could have done that!Tom was proudly there with them for sure!! The fact Mike sang ( both sounded great) for Tom- deep brotherhood! 2022 and so many are watching 💕

    Whew got a little teary eyed there .and now I know I'd be asking way too much here but wouldn't it be great to see The Heartbreakers do some type of Gig in honor of Tom Petty music and the timeless legacy that he left behind ? including the Heartbreakers who I grew up listening too as a child I'd lay awake all night and couldn't wait to here come on the Radio .and then I'd stay up later until I heard them again.
    They're songs brought the light of the sun into the dark World I grew up in not only that made everything alright. For those 2 or 3 minute songs life was great and Tom Perry's song just gave us so much hope .he write for the under dog . and had a great sense of humour that just made you smile and they still do today !but I must admit it's hard knowing he had to go off to that great gig in the sky so suddenly . but wouldn't it be great to see the Heartbreakers and friends .do one last show and make a DVD or a TPT special. Both timeless and priceless . much respect and apreciation for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the reason I play music today .thank you so much for your music inspiration and hope you all have and continue to provide the world .Gid bless all !

    Always knew Mike Campbell could sing as it was obvious on the albums. Benmont Tench has an understated voice but it really sounds good on this classic song. Never really heard him on the albums.
