- Hauntingly beautiful rendition of Little Feat's Willin' that I recorded at Red Rocks 3 years ago. Tom dedicates this to Lowell George the singer/songwriter who composed this beautiful song. Sadly, Lowell George passed away from a heart attack in 1979. A poignant tribute from the great Tom Petty and one of my favorite performances by TPATH. I love this recording as you see the true respect and love the members of the band have for each other as they play. Heartbreaking that we will never see this again.

As a trucker for 30 years now this is the first song on my seriously long set of Tom Petty songs that I play every day and night while trying to dodge all you crazy 4wheelers(cars)on the big road day and night. Every word Tom sings resonates with us veteran long haulers.. Rip Tom and Lowell .
Linda Ronstadt also does a great version of this song. At one of her live performances she admits to falling in love with Lowell George, for about a week, until she found out he was married. Lowell's wife showed up at her front porch!
Yup driven those back roads myself.
Anyone that hasn't please listen to Waiting for Columbus by Little Feat - one of the greatest live albums of all time
And all the others too. You can't go wrong with Little Feat.
You got that right!! Miss Lowell.
A lot of people say that “Frampton Comes Alive” is the best live album ever
Not in my book…..that would be
“Waiting On Columbus”
HANDS DOWN!!!! 100%!
something about the way Tom sings "Mexico" brings me to tears. i have no idea why
Mike Campbell is one of the truly great guitarists of all time.
Yep
Amen to that brother. Most morons have no idea, he is a badass!
dude, yeah
A fitting tribute to Lowell George the brothers of Little Feat
Thanks for the shout out to Mike Campbell. I agree, one of the best of all time.
I just listened to the 1977 Linda Ronstadt tribute version to Lowell George & Little Feat in Atlanta, and then this gem pops up…🎩💘
Both amazing renditions of the original..👍
Oh, but Linda's is so, just so Linda... Still waiting for a voice like hers...
Bonnie Raitt also has a good version.
I luv Tom and Mike and all the heartbreakers so much. I really really miss you guys. 😢
stunning, haunting, beautiful.
My mama's favorite song. We used to drive truck together way back in the day. Dropping the trailer off down by the railroad tracks in Alliance Ohio.
I like his covers as much as his originals.
GREAT STUFF THANKS FOR SHARING!! 😊
Total professionals. A lesson in band dynamics. RIP Tom!
Tom petty had so much class ! And Mike Campbell is so underrated he is one of the greatest guitarists of all time, the whole band are a class act !
I've heard at least a dozen different bands perform this song, and I know it is Lowell George 's song but the 1 singer who made it sound Great is Linda Ronstadt!!. I mean she really kills it. Just had to say that. Its a great song and absolutely, the writer should Always get credited for it. So tip my hat to Lowell George for sure!!.
Lowell George didn’t make it sound great?
What a great great band. What are we gonna do without Tom
Such a rock solid cover of a great song. Thank you Mr. George and Mr. Petty. Wherever you're at, here's hoping you're still rockin' out.
So good...one of the greats paying tribute to another...and not just by copying the other's song. Everything (just about) that Petty does is authentic and open. So sorry that he's gone.
So sorry Tom Petty and Lowell George are no longer on the planet, their music lives on. 💔👣
They could cover any song and I would listen. ❤️🎩🎸💘
Thank You for this Gem! Miss him so much. Beautiful, Cool, Tallented, well Loved & Highly Respected Musician. RIP Tom. You are deeply missed ! 😢
This made me cry! I just turned 69. Memories ! Thank you for sharing. I just discovered your videos collection and I am amazed. Music is so healing I needed this right now
.
Thanks Martha for your kind words. So happy you are enjoying the music and especially this video which is my absolute favorite! Ladies in their 60’s who enjoy great live music ROCK!
Hard to believe that nearly 3 years later Tom passed away. RIP Tom Petty +
Tom was a fn hippie.. God bless him.. Tom was amazing but Lowell was extra level. Had a beer with Tom at the kit Kat once with my drinking partner warren zevon.. we were all young once.. miss u tom..

Truly the heart of Heartbreakers. Benmont, Mike and Tom.

Souvenir de mon passage en cœur à au-delà pontage atc révélation depuis je la joue version originale excellente merci à tous ceux qui ont participé. 🔵⚪🔴🎼🌝
Great band (The Heart Breakers) doing this Lowell George tune. Listen for the magic in the last 1.5 minute(ish)when less becomes more and another great band, the Band, echoes.
What a band!
Legend
Tom says "there used to be a band called Little Feat ..." While this is true enough, the band still exists and performs (minus Lowell and drummer Richie Hayward, but with all members in the band that reformed in 1972). Just sayin'
In the early 2000s, Little Feat guitarist Fred Tackett (roommate of Lowell and co-author of some Feat songs and a studio contributor on others, though never an official member of the band until its 1989 reformation) had a release party for his first solo album at the Canyon Club in Agoura, California. Benmont and Mike Campbell were there and performed as the opening act. The connection(s) were more than respectful ... they were based on friendship. This is a very very good tribute to LF and Tom could have worked it into his regular repertoire without problem. Thanks for posting this.
Little Feat is still amazing. :) I guess Tom and Lowell and Richie are jammin...now
@Ian Harding Hi Ian. That was many moons ago, and I was at the Negril show, as well. I didn't go the first year (at Melia Braco) but learned my lesson and returned in the second. I was at the one earlier this year, as well ... ironically, we went back to Melia Braco and the guests were Los Lobos, the Midnight Ramgle Band, Anders Osborne and Vince Herman. We paid tribute to Paul Barrere with a Second Line on the beach. He responded -- the next day there was a 6.2 earthquake off the coast of Negril!
Jamey Johnson does a great cover of this song this one is not bad
Bellissima
thank you kim roberts🙏❤️
Great version also check out Gregg Allman and Jamey Johnson's versions they both also do a great job.
I love Tom Petty but I would much rather hear Lowell do the song with Little Feat. Damn shame that can't happen anymore happen anymore.😢
Linda Rostadt put Lowell on the map when she covered this.
As the ultimate HoyHoy fan thanks Tom
everybody agrees Tom and Mike are key to the heartbreakers. but we need to give some love to Benmont Tench. He nails Billy Paine's part in this song. And is essential to the heartbreakers sound and countless of other projects. Just saying.
Payneful
Check out Billy Strings version

amen brother!
oh wow..... Linda Ronstat met the author of this song, fell in love and found out a week later he was married when the wife showed up at her door.
used to be a band called Little Feat?
As good as it is, it ain’t no Lowell George or Little Feat
