This was recorded around 1974 as far as I can figure 💘

thought this was gonna be a cover of Tommy James

Thanks so much for posting this.

One of a kind.❤

Guitars and vocals are fantastic, i feel like Benmont really kills the DTT version with the Hammond stuff and the mòre realized piano hook on the verses.

Could someone PLEASE REMASTER THIS SOMG Ilove it!

Blown away. I miss Tom Petty so much. 💔 This song is absolutely beautiful.

The way Tom said “hunny”❤

Thank you Leon Russell.

I love this so much! Please release this with so many of the other songs from the vault! We need more Tom Petty, with Mudcrutch and the Heartbreakers

I was influenced by lots of brothers and sister with music in our house growing up, very proud I found Tom myself, truly miss him!

The only thing I like more about the Heartbreakers version is the “AND I CANT TAYKE IT NO MOWWAAAR” line. I love to scream this song from the deepest depths of my soul. 😂

We all still love and miss ya Tom!

Recorded in Leon Russell's legendary Church studio in Tulsa

Damn, it hurts but is sounds so good.. heartbreaking,

That's an awesome American album cover, yea bby.

Cannot stop coming back here and listening to this song. Just an incredible timepiece, feels like a piece of his soul put onto vinyl. Whoa.

I found Tom Petty in 1976 ! I was 17 , almost 18 that summer and American Girl hit me right in the heart ❤️ ! I graduated high school and began my “adult” life listening to this music . 9 years later I saw them live at Merryweather Post Pavilion in MD and got married that same summer ! My marriage didn’t last but my love for Tom’s music is as strong today as it was then . I missed my chance to see them in 2017 when they were here and have been kicking myself in the ass ever since ! Never pass up an opportunity as you may not get it again ! R.I.P. !

WoW

My first time hearing this sing and I love it. Which album?

Always thought this was a "Heartbreakers song!! I'm watching Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: R.D.a.D. 4 hrs wholly shit?????...….... well I gotta finish! R.I.P to a Legend Tom Petty Gainesville,Florida U.S.A.!!

La víctima Jesica Barrantes, curiosamente, es tan parecida que parecen gemelas con Sully Saenz que también fue víctima de esta cámara. A menos que sean gemelas y no se hablen entre ellas, para mí es la misma persona. Si buscan en youtube está la misma cámara oculta a Sully Saenz. O son gemelas o es la misma persona...

So missed yet!

Love this wish the Heartbreakers would have redone this one

Tom petty Perfect

Common' ladies extinguish all non-masons. Amuck amuck amuck with us!?!Pleeease?!?

kings of leon ripped off the verse

2:22 Yo-set muy bien 🤣🤣 2:39 jajaja cómo lo dice Pedro.

nice

Does anyone know when and where exactly this was recorded? I’m guessing it was around 1972-1973. I know sometimes they’d record music in Benmont’s parents living room back then.

Sweetly done....👍

Better than the final product.

Wow!!!!!

🤍

Tom might be a Gone Gator but his soul is alive in the hearts of his fans here in Gatorville! RIP our friend

Me acuerdo cuando estudiaba y para relajar miraba esto. Era lo unico para ver jjejej

De esta poesía sacaron el argumento de Interestellar jaja

Just heard this for the first time today; I can’t believe how I could have missed it. About as good as it gets.

We miss you TP
