FIRST TIME HEARING Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - American Girl REACTION

[@PriestessOfNothing]

"God it's so painful that something that's so close is still so far out of reach" that line kills me 😩

American Girl was the last song ever played by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers in concert, part of an encore at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California on September 25, 2017. Petty died a little over a week later.

Tom Petty was an enormous talent and gave us many great songs. American Girl is my all-time favorite Tom Petty song which makes it one of my all-time favorite songs period. This song comes on and I'm dancing around the room or bouncing in the driver's seat and singing out loud. I really miss attending his concerts.

[@keeponkeepinonstudio]

Interesting that he closed the show and his career with this in 2017. Back in the day when he was just getting started I saw him in concert in Buffalo and they opened the show with this. Lights came up. He came running across the stage strumming away. It was a great show.

[@johnnieangel99]

This was a real big hit at the time. Absolutely loved it

[@screwyootube1]

American Girl came from his very first album (simply titled, "Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers"), and I'm not sure there were any videos made for any songs off the first 2 albums (this came out in 1977, and the follow-up, "You're Gonna Get it" in 1978). It was the next album, "Damn the Torpedoes", that broke him into the mainstream, BIG TIME, and I believe that's where he started making music videos. One thing you need to realize is that the music video as an artform was still growing, and MTV (when it was a music video channel) didn't debut until August 1981. So, it was still common for some artists to not include music videos in the promotion of their music, in the 70s. I believe the first music video Tom Petty made was for "Refugee".

[@johnalden5821]

This is one of my favorite Tom Petty songs. His lyrics are so descriptive, and they walk the edge between freedom and optimism, on the one hand, and loss and drift as an undertone. He was one of rock music's romantics, like Springsteen and Bob Seger, who captured the thrill of youth against the odds, in a big country with lots of hopes and no guarantees. To me, they epitomize the America I grew up in. They propelled rock music for a whole generation.

I've never understood why Mike Campbell is never mentioned in the top guitarist lists. Can't imagine it bothers him too much but he's just the perfect guitarist for the Heartbreakers.

This song pulls me along with it, a great rhythm and great background vocals. About the videos: many artists who got their start in the 60s or 70s that were still around in the age of MTV were not thrilled with the pressure to spend time & $$ on videos, preferring their music to be appreciated by ear alone. I remember when Journey refused to do a video along with a new song released in the mid-80s. I thought at the time, "good for them!" LOL😊❤ ❤

From Dayton, Ohio, they've released DOZENS of albums since the early 90s and have actually gotten better and BETTER. Their leader is ROBERT POLLARD... a middle school teacher who went full-time into music. He is probably the most prolific songwriter in the world, having penned over 3000 songs. His catalog (with GBV, solo, and side projects) is vast... but you can start with "LIZARD ON THE RED BRICK WALL" or "SPACE GUN" and fully connect with the amazing band. Cheers!
