Casa Dega - Tom Petty & the HBs, live 1978-12-31 (video!)

[@deemoney1178]

This song is a classic Masterpiece that never got the recognition it should have.

[@terryhinkemeyer3857]

Tom has so many songs that don't get air time that are absolute bangers. He is one of the best songwriters ever without a doubt. The Hearbreakers are a criminally underrated band.

Tom at the Zenith of his artistic powers

[@poconopatriot567]

I've always listened to every song when I bought an album way back when bc I wanted to hear the songs that never got airplay. This was always one of my favorites from TP 😊

[@DH-xm3hc]

​That's why have always listened to non mainstream radio stations. I know Tom Petty will always be missed, remembered and loved 😢 Rest in Peace ❤✌️🌼​@@terryhinkemeyer3857

[@TeresaP-r7v]

Teresa here from Omaha Ne. Wish we could go back, I have two grown children - how time flies. Keep rocking on!

[@micahdyal9876]

Tom’s soul lives in Florida and Cassadega and Gainesville. What a soul

[@deemoney1178]

This should have been a huge radio hit

[@merrillmilner8717]

Then BMG wouldn't let us see this.

[@DH-xm3hc]

Always listened to non mainstream radio station.

I have loved Tom petty and the heartbreakers, since I was going to school one day and here comes my girl came on the Radio…I did more research and bought all his previous Albums. I miss him so much, he was an inspiration to me growing up…

[@randycochrane7248]

Saw the Heartbreakers in 1978. In San Diego. They played this song and the crowd lost its shit! " In Casa Dega"

[@catmom6830]

We're all just looking for what we lost in the past...

[@CosmicChild1111]

I used to go to Casa Dega when I lived in Florida and then the springs for a swim 🥰 The readers there are pretty amazing!

[@unhingedsoulcollector8501]

Great footage of a very youthful still new band.I doubt anyone in that room was thinking they would have an astounding 40yr career.

[@shagmanjackson220]

My favorite TP song. He makes me proud to be from Florida

[@rennejovillademoros2791]

Me too!

[@pammcmonigle9210]

One of my absolute favorite songs!

[@HolaItsM3]

This is my favorite Petty song, I know it’s kinda short but I come to this every now and then. ❤😌It holds a special place in my heart.

[@catmom6830]

We're listening Mr Petty. We're listening....

[@kellyward9587]

Dannnngg !! What they gave the world is immeasurable!!💜💜🎶💘

[@unhingedsoulcollector8501]

It's amazing to go back and listen to the quality of Tom's Songs right out the gate. He obviously improved and got more polished. However. The music he created with the band from the get go is better than most bands ever reach at their peak. It says a lot about why they were still putting out the best music around 40yrs into there career. Everything ends but I'm sure Tom would have been productive for many yrs had he not passed. He never stopped and relied on the hits. Hypnotic Eye was a fantastic final album. I'll be rockin out to Tom Petty till the end of my days to!

[@jennieangell4439]

Great song and great place! Cassadaga is the medium and psychic capital of the world.

[@dianebaum91]

The more I hear his songs, his videos, how he collaborated with so many other artists, it just boggles my mind that he was such an awesome musician! He didn't rely on schtick stuff, as other rockers did, he relied on his intuition of what worked, what didn't, improving on both. Tom, may you continue to make beautiful music in eternity, learning to fly even as you are free fallin'...you are so missed here, but as long as we have THIS...we will survive til we meet again in eternity.

[@lucybrantley8635]

I love this simple little song. And I miss you Tom. Thanks f or this treasure.

[@AlaskanGeezer]

He would have also made it big as an actor if he really wanted. I am glad he gifted the world with his marvelous song stories. And the genious sound that is timeless. It has adrenoline.

[@micahdyal9876]

Cassadega is a weird and spiritual place here in Florida. Petty is a true Florida sport who lives deep in the souls. We love him here in Florida. Never missed a concern and think about him every day.

[@tamponnebretagne6240]

DE FRANCE.Cette chanson est extraordinaire. Pourquoi n’a t-elle pas eu de plus succès ?Il semblerait que il l ait très peu jouée par la suite. Un des mystères de sa carrière !Il l'interprète de façon magistrale.

[@raeann63]

omg i've never heard or seen video of this song live! "casa dega" is one of my most favourite of tom & the heartbreakers, it baffled me why it never made it on DAMN THE TORPEDOES it is MAGNIFICENT! as a kid i treasured my 45 of "don't do me like that" as this was the b-side and i played the grooves off of it lol. thank you thank you for this vid!! ❤

[@sentimentaljourneyproductions]

What a priceless jewel. I am honoured to be here/hear now. Thank you more than you know.🎼💞

[@jeramym9506]

Tom always had such great attitude in those young years.

[@jesselynch5105]

I’ve genuinely loved Tom & the Heartbreakers since I was a kid so it was astonishing to have stumbled across this song relatively recently, but it’s grown to be one of my favorites… “Moon pulls the tide & tide is born in night, can I save ya?” is so simple yet arranged so brilliantly that it hits so hard 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@carolfidler5505]

Love this song very much. Sounding slower here than the record. But Tom rules. I don’t care how it’s done it’s great. 🎸🎼❤️💔

[@robertlukas6335]

Great stuff ...Thanl you!!!

[@rennejovillademoros2791]

The Coolest Cat in Rock and Roll 💘✌🏼🎩

[@lindaturgeon1618]

There are still so many of Toms songs for me to learn! Thank you

[@iwazzabadboy1982]

One of my favorites❤❤❤

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Legendary

[@TheLastPirate1973]

So many great tunes on that album. It’s hard to pick a favorite. Thanks for posting this and all the others.

[@MrGunhunt]

color version, a masterpiece

[@ufohead1]

They didn't quite get this right in the studio version. But this is a masterpiece Tom Petty at his zenith

[@Starrygirl63]

Sooo niceeee thank you for posting this!!!

[@jimwilliams3816]

Love it! This is a great song, but I never got the deluxe edition of this album, because to me the original release is perfect as is, maybe my favorite album of all time. This performance points out just how central Benmont was to the HB’s sound...I’ll never really forgive Jeff Lynne for taking over piano parts on the albums he produced...

[@micahdyal9876]

Wish I was at the cypress lounge listening to this in the juke box in Gainesville

[@janhensley3617]

Love, love, love 💘💔

[@maxthepupp]

Low key my favorite song from the Torpedoes sessions!🤘😎🤘

There’s a grainy video of Del Shannon at this concert with TPHB somewhere on KZbin!

[@daleross8328]

Where could one purchase this? All awesome treasures. ❤️

[@jimwilliams3816]

I will have to search for the grainy Del Shannon video. THAT would be awesome!

[@Liz-nx1vh]

You were at the concert in San Francisco 78? California

Drum beat seems a bit different

[@JasonClarke-rc6ge]

This is the first song my Future sent me after our first sleepover;) I literally fell in love with this woman and continue to fall in love with her every single day. Great song and an amazing songwriter. 🌾💞🪶

[@ModPadGirl]

Went there twice. First time as a New Ager. Then I became a Christian and went back. Psychics who were eager to give a reading the first tone, closed their doors as we walked by! We didn’t want a reading anyway. Devil!s gameZ!
