RIP ICON FOREVER
I was in my parents garage fixing up my car when I heard Tom Petty passed away. I couldn’t finish my car I was in tears. This is awesome seeing how the youth of that generation responded to this music.
he was in my car,my parties and in my heart.
This performance was excellent, the band were so tight and made full use of their time.
That’s crazy that means u were working on ur car right after that horrible Vegas shooting
@@santosgarcia1893 Stephen Paddock can burn in hell with Hitler.
It was an awful day. I remember they reported he’d died then retracted it and said he was on life support which made it worse because we all knew he was gone.
I had his song Walls cranked on my radio on my drive into work that morning. The words “ part of me you carry, part me is gone” will stay with me forever.
I was turned onto his music by my older brother and was 13 the year of Live Aid. Tom was forever my favorite artist.
The day he died I remember the countless remembrances he got from performers of all ages and celebrities. He touched so many people with his music and he was such a beautifully humble man and adoring father. We truly lost a legend when he died.
Shame he’s no longer with us........R I P Tom
proper awesome
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers played this day like they were in a bar with 200 people. Amazing
I was there. Age 17, just graduated high school up near Wilkes-Barre. For $35, we had nosebleed seats that we left, and made our way onto the field and ended up about 25 yards from the stage.
It was hot as hell that day, and Petty was one of our favorites. I had just bought “Damn the Torpedoes” at the record store. It came out a few years before I learned about rock albums… ha.
Such an amazing day, I always look for us in the crowd, but this one doesn’t show our area. What a day. Hard to believe, and so glad I shelled out the $35. To be 17 again…
I sometimes wake in the morning and remember again that Tom Petty is gone. And I want to go back to my dreams when he’s still with us.
If anyone doubted Tom Petty was a rock star . here ya go !
RIP Tom...damn I miss this 80s...now I'm 53yo...so many legends are gone forever ,it's so sad
I miss the 80's too... And Tom Petty
Great classic song. RIP Tom. Gone much too soon.
Mike Campbell has to be the most underrated guitar player of all time. Absolutely insane.
I have to agree TOTALLY ! Well said Philip
These "So and so is the most underrated guitar player" comments are so STALE. How about just accepting that Mike is awesome and doesn't need any comparison. He is great, that is all that needs to be said.
Except everybody (all 7.8 billion of us silly human primates) know how great he is. This is the only time the Heartbreakers ever toured with a horn section. (Southern Accents Tour)
People keep saying it ... and it doesn't stop being true. The comment section isn't an originality contest, it's just a place for people to share their opinions.
He is a copy of Jimmy Page...
Tom Petty and the SIdeburns
Their awesome don't care what people say
@Chris Agan nice
👌🎤
Do his sideburns really bother you?
World's greatest garage band. RIP Tom. I miss you. You brought so much happiness to the world.
Sones
Tom's rockin' his civil war look.
Tom Petty his music will never die!
The very first concert I went to was Tom Petty in 1990. I went with my lovely mum who pushed me and her all the way to the front. It was amazing and I still remember it 32 years later. I've been to many concerts since but unfortunately I never seen Tom again. My mum loved him, sadly she is no longer with us but I'll remember that night forever, I was 15 and it was just amazing, he gave such a great show, he was running around the stage, he had his knee bandaged over his jeans. He seemed like such a lovely man. I watched the travelling wibury's documentary and they all seemed so happy together. I miss you Tom
My mom took me to see Tom Petty too, probably in the early-mid 2000’s. I remember even at the time noticing what a spread of type of people were there. There were other people my mom’s age and older of course, the crowd you’d expect for someone like Tom Petty, but more than that there were just people of all ages. Tom Petty’s music is so accessible listening wise, that it didn’t surprise me to see people my age, younger, my moms age, older, and everywhere in between there, but it just really cements how easy it is to listen to and love Tom Petty’s music
@@AcDcDrummerJake1215 Exactly, I’m just devastated we’re never going to see them again. It was bad enough when Howie died.
I can’t believe I was there and it was 38 years ago! This song was amazing and I loved the Cars, many others.
I remember this performance i was there in philly
One of Tom and the Heartbreakers biggest shows ever! 🥰🎸 very surreal moment in musical history
I saw this live at 8 years old and became a fan for life of Tom Petty & Bryan Adams
That blazer Tom is wearing is at the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland
I can't believe I was there!!! WOOO!!! I lost my 2 friends and I was just walking around the entire fking place looking for them, but I loved "The Waiting is the Hardest part," and also "American Girl" too. Hell ya!! The entire building was shouting and grooving to his music, including me. I was shouting so loud!!
Tom Petty put on a great show.
What a great talent, love him with the Heartbreakers, solo & The Traveling Wilburys. So sad
Wish we could turn back time & still have him, George Harrison & John Lennon & Greg Allman.
Miss them all so much.😟
So with you Patricia Gonzales. I loved Tom Petty and gorgeous George Harrison ... I'd add Freddie Mercury and George Michael to the list though ... but then I am English.
@@SuzyQ334 And don't forget to mention one of the best looking men and very talented musicians Benjamin Orr.
@@SuzyQ334 How can you forgot David Bowie?
Come on guys Jimi Hendrix, SRV, John Bonham, Duane Allman, EVH, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington, Brad Delp and many more
@@smitsonavane6278 yes of course all of them as well❤️, Janis Joplin………the list goes on.
Everybody is all about Queen this and Queen that with Live Aid, but for my money, the Cars and Tom Petty just killed it that day. When are they going to get around to making a movie about Tom Petty?
There is one called "runnin down a dream", it isn't on here but there is one on youtube called "Tom Petty: Somewhere you feel free - The making of Wild flowers" - I haven't watched that one yet but the runnin down a dream one was great.
Tom petty in the u s a. The who in the u k. Best 2 best performances of live aid 1985 imo.
@@colingeddes2172 100% agree, I'm a massive fan of both and I'm lucky to say that I've seen both live, The Who - many times but unfortunately only seen Tom once and that was in 1990
Yes good info from people. Runnin Down a Dream on Netflix but you can rent on youtube. For fun Storytellers VHS youtube he's hilarious. The making of Wildflowers not so much just me it was posthumous and engineered by Rick Rubin who is a shit in my books and Tom;s older daughter Adria who produces Beyonce and elbowed his widow out of creative control over unpublished material so Dana .... just walked out of the machinery. She was only ever there for love I got a chance to meet her and their dog backstage due to a friend on his last tour unforgettable. Reading: I really liked Conversations with Tom Petty Paul Zollo and the official bio Warren Zane author, which had a huge effect on me this man one of the world's great transcenders his father a monster ... ok let's not get carried away. On-line interviews (I write for a living and that's why I know all this stuff) CBC Q Tom Petty Interview it's cut into 2 parts just after Hypnotic Eye came out a really measured and thoughtful reflection on his part he was a brilliant guy.
@@vc23❤❤😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤😂❤😂😢😢😢😢😢😢
Tom Petty is irreplaceable. 😔😔💔💔
NO QUESTION THERE !
Isn't everyone though?
Absolutely!
Def but he lives on thru his music and his band the heart breakers
Yeah he is
Miss Tom Petty. Mike playing the Les Paul standard 🇺🇸🏁
Tom sporting some serious mutton chops ..!
They were out on the Southern Accents Tour.
Awesome, Amazing American Music
Holy shit!!! Mike Campbell plays killer solo here 🔥🔥🤘 this whole thing was fking killer 🤘😂😝
I think the cameramen/editors forgot that one of the world's best rock and roll keyboardists plays in this band. How about some love for Benmont?
My idiotic sister went to AA meetings with Benmont Tench in LA an undisputed keyboard genius. Love? Not so much he caused a lot of trouble in the band, blamed Tom for Howie's death while he was fucking off somewhere himself and fomented ... rubbish during a rough year with Stan Lynch having a hissy fit because Mike Campbell wanted to take his wife on tour and was not into groupies. I have no time for that kind of back biting. Tom wasn't a patriarch or anything but he was the backbone of the band and shouldered the responsibility. There was no reason to undermine him. Get real.
Agreed! Especially on this tune!
3 years today that you passed away Tom. Your music will live on forever...Rest in Paradise x x
his band was tight as fuck.. And you have to put him right there with the performers, considered 'rock royalty'. He just got it...he figured out how to stick around thru different musical shifts...industry shifts...hip hop....'new wave', etc. And it started with these incredible songs. Him and Stevie Nicks, are two of the all time great lyricists. When i hear Tom's voice, I go back to great times in my adolescence...running the streets...pool halls...house parties...going to the beach..road trips...sex...jobs...friends moving away...friends/family dying, etc. He covered all the bases for me. RIP, Legend.
Tom Petty one bad mother.
RIP Tom...damn I miss this 80s...now I'm 53yo...so many legends are gone forever ,it's so sad
I'm so glad I did get to see him perform live I saw him in El Paso a fantastic show rest in peace Tom thank you for the music
Wow. For one shining second I was back there watching from the beach house in New Hampshire....
He made awesome music
AMAZING performance as always…give some love to the energetic back up girls….
Look how relaxed and chill Stan (drums) is. And playing traditional grip! Buddy Rich is proud.
The Stewart Copeland way.
@@jamesrobert680 The Doug Clifford way.
As good as Steve Ferrone is (one heck of a good drummer) I find that I prefer Stan. Maybe it’s that time period of TP that I prefer?
Tom Petty le rock californien des années 80 tout simplement sublime
I was there. Best $35 I ever spent. It was crazy hot, but so worth it. I went on to see Petty 3 more times, the Heartbreakers were the best live rock band I've ever seen.
Hell yeah I saw them 4 times
I saw them twice and agree!
Best rock music performance ever ! Makes you fly !!
God, Mike Campbell was/is great. His pitch bends are perfect; his tone is perfect; he sounds exactly like the record.
Tom Petty was One of the Best. Love from Ireland. May WE ALL BE FREE SOME-DAY!!!!!
this children, is live music!
TomPetty&Mike Campbell Are SO AWESOME 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 😎 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 😎! RIP! Tom!Long Lives! Rock N'ROLL!
Im not one for Concerts, but man I'd love to witness Live Aid 1985.
Unlike today's current climate, this is just beautiful vibes.
What a decade some lucky people got to live through.
I was in a hospital emergency room being prepped for a heart cath when I saw the news scroll across the bottom of the tv. I’ll never forget it.
God bless you!
It don't get much better than this.
I heard Tom sing this totally awesome song at his and Bob Dylan’s concert... Loved dancing to it!!
These are so good cannot believe I missed them. Petty, the Cars wow I liked the horns in this American Girl so good
TOM PETTY ALWAYS LOVED FOREVER MISSED NEVER FORGOTTEN
Great Band Rest in peace Tom Petty.
The girls with the tambourines are kicking it.👍🔥🎵
To right very hard working girls on the best day ever for music fans love from Suffolk, Eastern England
Drummer Stan Lynch holding his sticks traditionally, The man.
Tom Petty one bad mother.
coming to a town in germany near you, too...
After Queen's perfect performance Tom and the HB's provided the next best set on this day IMO.
Shame he’s no longer with us........R I P Tom
I want a time machine
It just breaks my heart that we lost this man !!
My sister and I saw him in July 2017 in Toronto on the 40th Anniversary Tour. I cherish that concert Tee.
Beautiful music,best Tom respect from China
I wasn't there, but I totally remember this concert.
FACTOID: Unlike how most artists record in the studio using various takes, tracks parts and weave them all together, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers recorded most all of their songs in one take with all the band members playing at once. "Refugee" took something like over 100 takes but the song you hear on the album was recorded live in the studio in a single take!
'This song was recorded live in the studio.' Wow!! Just wow!! Such an invaluable "Factoid"... whatever that means!! Does factoid mean some sort of android help with relaying the facts???
favorite American band of all time, and I saw them 8 times. they are legends and irreplaceable.
DON'T GO! LOVE YOU, THE MAN, THE TALENT, THE SOUL ** YOU ARE LIGHT!!! ROCK ON BABY
So sad he is gone.😢
Great part of any Live Aid playlist. Great sound quality, volume way up, sorry neighbors, but it has to be heard ;-)
LOVE the jacket, they sound is great for live show! The greatest of all!
I remember seeing Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in London on their Damn the Torpedoes tour,they were really good.
Thank Goodness for the Brits who liked the band better than they did in the US. Denny Cordell sent them to tour the UK because they were so popular and finally the US came to their senses.
The Boomtown Rats were their opening act on their first tour to the UK.
TP WAS A VERY GENUINE ARTIST...
Tom in Holland we loved you, and still do!!
We sure do
He just loved Rocking, one of his best this for sure.
Miss him💔
Tom sporting some serious mutton chops ..!

Tom Petty one bad mother.
Wow. What a great great song.
I had tickets to see him play in our home state, when he passed. Too many of the rock music icons that touched mine and millions lives were passing. I hoped I would get to see most before the end. It's Nov. 2020 and and I've missed 20 shows this year due to this unconstitutional lockdown.
I will need to become very creative in getting that goal met, now🥺
IN 69, 70...there was a club on North U.S. 441, just on outskirts of GAINESVILLE, FL., called DUBBS...It was a place, where on a weekend, you might from time to time, catch a band, with a guy named TOM PETTY could be seen.
It was a glorious time for real rock that shook you to the bone and everyone was young, life was being discovered and music was unfolding in its creative magic.
There will never be such a time ever, the population was "booming" with an overflow of kids and young adults, hungry for the rifs that took them to where they had never been.
God Speed, all those that took us there...
so damn sad he is not with us anymore, i loved the 80's best time of my life and I am now 68
This was the best performance in Philly that day. They absolutely nailed it, but then again they always did.
I disagree The Cars were the best in Philly that day
No, Judas Priest for example was better. Tom Petty is great, but here there is not the best performance of his.
@@tobyalder42 - I agree. Tom's voice sounds strained; tired here & probably is after that show. & I loved the guy; one of my favorites bands.
Tommy stole the show that day in so many ways!
Man he is so missed !!!!
Tom was great in the film THE POSTMAN. I wish I could get it on CD v
The GOAT ❤
Checking this out after the SYSK podcast
RIP Tom 💜
Wow. Mike Campbell is amazing.
Beautiful back chorus girls
that tambourinest!!!! HELL YEAH!!
It's one of those things you gotta FEEL to be true.
The greatest American rock band in our lifetime - period.
Absolutely amazing what that man can do with his voice
I am a Florida Gator. Oh to have been in that huge crowd!! RIP, TP!
A great friend of George Harrison.
Story of my life
❤❤❤
Unbelievable. At the peak of their powers. Tight, majestic and brilliant. Awesome.
Can't see this without tearing up.
i saw Petty live . He opened up for Dylan . i did not know that Petty was such a great live performer .
*_PAR EXCELLENCE... from Detroit! Love Ya!_*
Best concert in my life!!!!!!!
After Queen's perfect performance Tom and the HB's provided the next best set on this day IMO.
U2 raised my arm hair when he got that crowd reaction going down to get that girl free of the crush of the crowd.
Had no ideal. Thanks!! Who knew Tom petty before Queen. Blows my mind!
Black Sabbath had a great set too- that's a real reunion
Bryan ferry was wicked too.. jealous guy and those guitar solo's then that whistling.. unreal!!
My favourite TP song. Love everything about it. Although ask me on another day and I’ll probably choose another as he has so many great songs
"Even the Losers"
Rest In Peace King
Refugee is My Song
it sucks I never got the chance to experience good music and bands live in there prime
